1056: urgent

The Renault Family.

Su Liang also received the relevant news, and even knew that Li Changkong had successfully escaped from prison!

After learning this, his expression was extremely gloomy.

"Su Liang."

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the house.

Hearing this, Su Liang's expression straightened, and he immediately got up and went out to greet him.

The person who came was a Middle-aged man with long golden hair wearing a fitted Magician's robe. Behind him were a group of attendants from the Renault Family.

"Lord Viscount." Seeing the person, Su Liang bowed respectfully.

"Hmm, how is your magic study going?" The Middle-aged man squinted his eyes and asked Su Liang with a smile.

"Under the Instruction of Lord Viscount, I have successfully entered the ranks of Magic Apprentices."

"Magic Apprentice? That speed is really not slow. Back then, it took me a whole month to touch this Realm from nothing. You only used less than ten days. I told you that you have the ability to become my Student!" Raine's face showed a satisfied smile.

"I didn't come here for anything else today, just to tell you that in three days I will be going to the Vog Country Western Main City to discuss a major matter with various noble titles there. On this trip, I want to take you with me to broaden your horizons and also guide your studies along the way."

"I wonder if you are willing?"

Magician Raine's words carried an inquiry.

Upon hearing this, Su Liang was overjoyed internally and immediately nodded without any hesitation: "Of course I am willing. Lord Viscount values me so much, Su Liang will definitely not disappoint Lord in the future!"

"Hahaha, good. Then you prepare for these three days. Don't worry about food or anything like that. Just see what you need to bring, what you need to take care of, and get everything sorted out."

"Just follow my team when the time comes."

Leaving these words, Raine departed.

Standing in place and seeing him off, Su Liang's heart pounded with excitement.

Vog Country Western Main City.

That was a truly Big City.

And listening to Rhein Viscount, it meant that other people of noble status and position would also be going on this trip!

For Su Liang, this was a brand new Opportunity!

If he could get to know one or two nobles, or even win the favor of a certain Princess, then he would just have to wait for his fortunes to soar!

Of course.

When Raine just left, Su Liang did not forget what he said to him.

Raine told him to prepare well, and take care of things.

This seemed like a casual remark, but the meaning within it seemed to be pointing out the matter between him and Li Village!

"Li Changkong, Li Village, it seems I need to completely settle all of this within these three days!"

...

Li Village.

After Li Changkong returned, he explained the general situation regarding the iron ore trade to Li Bo.

At first, Li Bo was so startled he almost jumped, and was about to pack his bags and tell everyone to run together.

Later, under Li Changkong's persuasion, he gradually calmed down.

Of course, the feeling of worry was always present.

Perhaps only when the iron ore was completely dug out and the money was in hand would he feel at ease.

As for the mining of iron ore, Li Changkong specifically arranged for Li Man to take over a dozen strong youths to do it.

Having arranged these things, Li Changkong did not stop and once again organized the remaining people to continue expanding the territory!

Fortunately, his image in everyone's hearts had become very solid over the years, coupled with his Breakthrough to Formal Knight yesterday.

Under these circumstances, everyone was still relatively willing to listen to him.

However, among those who were arranged to continue working and expanding, there were still quite a few complaints.

The main reason was that this kind of behavior, in their opinion, was completely baffling, and could even be said to be meaningless!

Expanding the Village area and enclosing a piece of wasteland was one thing. It could be used for farming and cultivation later.

But this time, they were directly expanding and cultivating a lake outside the Village...

The lake was right there, you could go whenever you wanted. It was just a few fish inside.

Nobody was fighting over it, so why did they need to enclose it too?

Li Changkong ignored the Villagers' questions and the complaints of some lazy soft bones.

At this moment, he was in his own room, his hands placed on a plain iron shield.

His palms touched the iron shield, and Li Changkong slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, the power within him gradually condensed, solidifying into a rich radiance.

The moment this radiance took shape, it directly manifested on his arms.

And in a moment, the golden light manifested on his arms, like flowing water, gradually converged into the shield, which resembled the surface of the sea!

After a long while.

When everything was over, Li Changkong opened his eyes again, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

Looking at the shield in front of him now, he could clearly see streaks of golden light emerging from it!

Holy Light!

Within the shield, a force of Holy Light had already been stored!

This had already become a qualified Knight Shield!

Taking out the shield granted by the System from behind him, Li Changkong compared them.

He found that the shield rewarded by the System was significantly more powerful.

He wondered what material and Holy Light the System's shield used.

...

It was night.

The pitch-black night sky enveloped the land.

In Li Village, a bright radiance instantly dispelled all Darkness and deterred the monsters that were always lurking around!

"This, this is a high-grade spiritual lamp?!"

The people who were preparing to finish work by the lake, upon sensing the spiritual lamp's radiance covering them, each had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Why is it that after we couldn't sell alcohol, the Village Chief is using money even more ruthlessly? A high-grade spiritual lamp, that must be three gold coins each, right?" A limping, greasy Middle-aged man washing his hands by the lake said with a look of displeasure.

His name was Zhang Yang, and he was originally a slave in the home of a Vog Country Citizen.

Later, because he stole something, his leg was broken.

It was also by chance that he managed to escape and found Li Village, a Village where people huddled together for warmth.

In the Village, before this, he basically played for several days before helping everyone with brewing alcohol once.

But today.

Having been called upon by Li Changkong to work for a whole day, the resentment in his heart had accumulated quite a bit.

"Now we don't have brewing technology and can't sell alcohol. The Village Chief wouldn't take the money we helped him earn and abandon us, would he?" Li Village was originally a family formed by various homeless people.

Among them, there were many people with weak wills, and even more people lacking a sense of security.

Therefore, a single sentence of Zhang Yang's baseless speculation caused many people to feel uneasy.

...

The central area of the Village.

Li Changkong gathered everyone who had been busy all day here.

Looking at the faces of these people, full of questions and some dissatisfaction, Li Changkong took a deep breath.

"Tonight, I might have to trouble everyone again."

"After eating later, please don't stop. Our work must continue."

Li Changkong issued this command with a heavy heart.

He knew that when this command was issued, it would inevitably lead to voices of dissatisfaction and resistance from below.

After all, he had always treated people kindly and approached everything with a consultative attitude.

However, Li Changkong understood even more clearly that if he didn't keep everyone busy and continue the work of expanding the territory, once Su Liang noticed Li Village and launched an attack on it, they would simply become fish on a chopping board, at his mercy!

At least they had some strength now.

In order to pass through the later period safely, they couldn't rest now!

Urgency had already turned into a black cloth, enveloping their entire Li Village!

"We still have to work next?!"

"Village Chief, that can't be right? We've been busy all day, and it's all heavy labor. Who can bear to keep working tonight?"

Someone below indeed spoke up with dissatisfaction.

And the person who spoke was none other than Zhang Yang.

As he finished speaking, many voices of agreement and echoing gradually appeared in the crowd.

"That's right, Village Chief, we are Villagers, we are not slaves!"

"Are you going to exploit us like the Vog Country Citizens? I knew you had ill intentions when you became Village Chief!"

"Anyway, I'm not working anymore. I've already helped you, Village Chief, work for a day, and you won't even give us a rest. Is that reasonable?"

One by one.

In the Village, those people with different surnames who had gradually gathered over the years were all expressing dissatisfaction and directly stating they wouldn't work.

Zhang Yang, in the crowd, saw that everyone was on the same side as him, and smugness couldn't help but appear in his eyes: "Village Chief, we also want to know, where did all the money we earned for you over the years go?"

"Did you use the money we helped you earn to indulge yourself?"

"I see you are no different from those Vog Country Citizens who exploit us!"

"You should announce where you used all that money. If you can't say it, then don't order us to work, step down from the position of Village Chief, and let us elect a better person to be the Village Chief!"

After Zhang Yang finished these words, the faces of Li Bo and Li Man turned dark.

Voices echoing Zhang Yang also gradually appeared in the crowd.

In response, Li Changkong did not explain.

If the people below ask you to explain something and you just go along and explain, it will only highlight your incompetence.

These noisy people are not looking at how fair you are, but rather whether they have benefits.

"If you work, I will pay you wages. You will all get paid for the work done during the day today," Li Changkong said calmly to everyone.

In fact, he had encountered situations like people below contradicting him many times over the past few years.

If you want to change it, there is only killing!

But before, in the situation of Li Village, if he dared to kill someone, the entire Li Village would completely disband!

Therefore, he could only tolerate these guys.

Even now, it could only be like this. Only by waiting for the future...
