Chapter 25 Comparison of sticks and carrots

  'Gudong', 'Gudong', the greasy and bloated Poliushkin once again poured down the warm water that Old Tom had so graciously added to the notched teacup.

  The water tasted very bad. Even after boiling, the water still had a faint bitter taste.

   But it still surprised Plyushkin.

  Because the drinking water here was still a problem when I came here last time, Tom, a stingy old ghost, had never given him so generously.

  Drinking water and food have always been a big problem for the villagers of Beira Village.

   This has always been a source of income for Pliushikin to make money out of nothing.

  Now, it seems that one of these two roads has been cut off.

   After all, Bella Village originally had a water diversion channel extending from the Warcraft Forest, enough for the villagers to use water for daily use.

  Pliushkin, on his second trip to Bella Village, ordered his caravan members to destroy the aqueduct.

  In this way, every time he is in business, he can earn a few buckets of water from the forest to get pearls from the villagers of Bella Village.

   Indeed, there is no smarter businessman in this world than him.

   But later, his way of making money was not prosperous.

  Because these damned villagers dug a reservoir, and the crisis was alleviated by the rain from the sky.

   There is nothing Pliushkin can do about it. No matter how clever he is, he can't keep it from raining.

   Fortunately, God does not always protect these bastards.

   There are always a few times where the drought and little rain here will not make Poliushijin busy.

  Pliushkin had a smirk on his face, but he still couldn't help asking:

   "Oh, my old friend, I am so relieved to see that you have solved your drinking water problem.

   Have you dug a new reservoir?

  Forgive my poor eyesight, I didn’t see it in the village just now. "

  The wrinkles on Old Tom's smiling face deepened, "No, this is a gift from our lord!"

   Hearing the earl lord's gift again, Plyushkin's eyebrows jumped.

   "Old friend, we've talked long enough, when will the pearls for this exchange be ready?"

  While he was talking, he heard the commotion in the village, and villagers from every household came out.

  Old Tom's eyes lit up, "Ah, kind Mr. Pryushkin, a distinguished lord wants to see you."

   Suspicious Plyushkin followed Old Tom out of the shabby house.

At this time, there were already many people standing outside, and Priuschkin pushed aside the crowd, and happened to see a red-robed arcanist and three young nobles with well-equipped warrior retinues coming over, surrounded by villagers. Say hello.

  The bright clothes of the nobles are particularly eye-catching against the tattered clothes of the villagers.

   It can be seen that Pliushkin, who is used to big people, doesn't care. On the contrary, he thinks that the young earl's clothes are much more shabby than those of the real nobles in the imperial capital.

  The businessman's eyes are the sharpest. He saw the dirt on the shoes of a group of people and felt an inexplicable sense of superiority in his heart.

  He doesn't even have a decent mount, so he deserves to be a small lord in a backcountry.

  However, a shiny 'stone' floating above the young lord's head made him feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a hundred flies.

   To be honest, it was the first time Plyushkin saw a noble who became an arcanist.

  I don't know what to say...

  Charlie looked around her people, and easily found a group of greasy-haired and powder-faced faces among the villagers in shabby clothes.

  She didn't say much, and pointed directly at the chubby Pliushkin. After all, she had been waiting for such a day for a long time.

   Following Scarface, now the leader of the first Knights under the flag of the Reef Castle, with 6 people under his command, Stan Lee directly pulled out the weapon at his waist, and walked over aggressively.

  The mercenaries guarding Plyushkin are not just for display.

   After all, they have the upper hand.

But…

  The red-robed arcanist directly ‘arcane warning’.

  Following the sound of the mantra recited by Mylamy finally full of confidence, "The Cage of Water"!

  The red-robed arcanist, who was 'misfired' in the two beast attack crises, finally got rid of his shame.

  He recited with confidence, the Ion Stone on his head shone violently, and the arcane energy was transformed into frenzied water elements, and ten large water **** appeared out of thin air in an instant.

   These water **** directly swallowed the panicked ten mercenaries, including one of the magicians who was chanting a spell.

  'Gulululu', the mercenaries of Poliushkin were caught off guard. They swallowed a big mouthful of water, and spit out countless small bubbles from their mouths and noses.

  Charlie saw these mercenaries being imprisoned in the big water polo, struggling, but unable to escape the 'cage', and their fierce resistance could only spit out a string of cute little bubbles at the end.

  The Scarface that rushed over also pressed Pliushkin to the ground ferociously, tying his limbs together like a wild boar.

  Pliushkin kept screaming like a pig being killed.

  He was stunned, he never expected to meet him, this young noble lord who looked thin and frail was so barbaric and tyrannical, without any restraint that a nobleman should have!

   In pain, he kept yelling that his daughter would be the future marquise, saying that he would be the in-law of a great nobleman, and he wanted to look good to the man with the scar who was rude to him.

  Charlie was also laughed out of anger.

  She couldn't resist going over and kicking Pliushkin's fat belly like water-filled meat.

   "A bag of pearls, exchange for a bag of flour, there is yours, huh?"

  Pliushkin finally shut up guilty.

  He squirmed his fat body, but unfortunately, he was too fat to turn over, so he could only talk to Charlie in a funny posture with his limbs bound up.

   "Respect, respected lord, I am just a poor and poor traveling businessman, please understand that we low-class people also want to make a living. Woooooooo..."

"We traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, passing through countless places that ordinary people can't reach. We paid a lot of protection fees to the giant dragon that occupied the mountains to come here and send some food to these hungry villagers. Huh, huh, I am really wronged!"

  Charlie slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Where are you from?"

  Pliushikin rolled his eyes and replied quickly: "The imperial capital, we are from the imperial capital.

  You know, I am also a person of some status there. I come here to do business, really for charity, so that every subject of the Holy Platinum Empire can have enough food. "

  Charlie didn't say anything else, she turned around and said to Jasmine who was holding the giant ax in a daze, "Jasmine, kick him!"

  Because Charlie found that he couldn't kick the dead rascal who was lying on the ground with his head hurt.

   It is right to entrust this kind of work to a "violent 1.5 meter" who can cut down a big tree with an axe.

  Pliushkin was so scared that he didn't know where he said something wrong.

  Because he would never have thought that the nobles in this small place also came from the noble imperial capital like him, and they had no fear of it.

  Jasmine kicked it down, and a large part of Pliushkin's stomach was sunken. He wanted to roll in pain, but because his limbs were bound, he could only sway from side to side.

  Charlie rubbed his eyes, trying to forget the mentally polluted scene just now.

She squatted down, raised her hand and patted Pryushkin's fat head lightly, "Hey, let me tell you, I am also from the imperial capital. You still pay the toll for the dragon? I didn't even see a dragon scale all the way here." arrive!"

   After finishing speaking, Charlie ordered Jasmine to continue to 'kill pigs', no, teach this profiteer who is full of lies.

  Old Tom has been watching, sweating profusely.

  Seeing Charlie stand up, he gritted his teeth and walked over, whispering to Charlie.

   "My lord, you really can't treat these wandering merchants like this..."

  Charlie frowned.

   "Do you know how much money these **** liars have cheated you of? The beads dug out of shells in the sea, that small bag can't be exchanged for the price of a bag of grain."

  Old Tom was a tax collector for the previous lord after all, so he had a broader vision than the villagers of Bella Village.

   Charlie doesn't think he'll lose sight of the problem.

   Sure enough, Old Tom replied in a low voice with a dull expression: "But, they are the only business group willing to come to Bella Village to do business..."

   At this moment, the villagers guarding the city gate came to report panting.

   "Dear lord, there is another group of traveling merchants outside the city gate!"

  Charlie raised his eyebrows slightly, and she looked at the dumbfounded old Tom meaningfully.

   "It seems that you have really fattened up this greedy fat pig, otherwise you wouldn't have attracted the second fly that smelled of 'blood'."

   "Open the city gate and let them in." Charlie ordered lightly.

   "Charlie, do these people want to hide?" Mylamy asked.

  A simple arcane scholar always thinks about problems in a simple way. He is afraid that the "end" of these people on the ground will scare away the business groups that come to their door.

  Charlie tapped his toes and patted the shoulder of his red-robed mentor.

   "Mentor, sometimes carrots and sticks are compared together so that the disobedient donkey can finish the work of grinding."

   Ask for a recommendation ticket, thank you
