Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 208 Chapter [-]
That night, members of the "Yehuo" Chamber of Commerce enjoyed a free meal at the "Dragon Hotel" in the "Southern No. [-] Rest Area".

During the meal, the owner of the inn not only came to receive them in person, but also brought several bards, and sang for them excerpts from "The Chronicles of Haven Continent" created by the famous wasteland artist Karim Lodge.

Coupled with a few glasses of fine wine, the members of the "Yehuo" caravan, from Alexios to ordinary grooms, couldn't help but feel a little drunk and exhilarated:

Traders in the wasteland originally earned a lot of hard money, and the guys in the "Yehuo" caravan all came to the Land of Soul Breaking with the spirit of sacrifice of "willing to cut their bodies, and earn a lot of gold coins";
No one expected that in this wild area, they could enjoy a luxury comparable to that of Autumn Moon City;

And it's free!
The warm atmosphere of this dinner reached its climax after the arrival of a "Lord Elliot Igor's special envoy";
On behalf of the honorable lord, the special envoy in brocade clothes expressed his heartfelt greetings to these drunken wasteland merchants, and praised their outstanding contributions in developing wasteland commerce and stimulating economic growth. Alexios presented the "Friends of the Wasteland" Medal of Honor.

Although this heavy and golden "Friends of the Wilderness" medal is a cheap mass-produced product cast with lead and painted on the outside, the drunken-eyed Alexios and his party have long lost their ability to distinguish.

Alexios even put his arms around Mr. Special Envoy's shoulders, speaking inarticulately:
"Brother...brother, I...I really admire...you...lords! You spend a lot of money! Money...is all outside the body...I...I just...can't...I...I, Alexio Adams is going to make a lot of money!"

Mr. Special Envoy's eyes lit up when he heard Alexius mention "making a lot of money".

He looked around exaggeratedly, and after "confirming" that no one was eavesdropping, he "lowered his voice" and said:

"President Alexios, I just bought a batch of goods recently. It's not a big commodity, but some personal luxury goods. The advantage is that the price is extremely low, and you can earn money when you buy it! What do you say?"

"Bring it up, get it up!" Alexios slammed his glass on the table.

The members of the "Yehuo" Chamber of Commerce couldn't even think about it, how could a "Lord Special Envoy" care about "purchase"?

Then, Mr. Special Envoy snapped his fingers, and the clerk of "Dragon Gate Hotel" hurried over with a tray full of small commodities and placed it on the dining table.

Then Mr. Special Envoy completely abandoned his political identity and began to introduce these small commodities one by one:
Amulets that "can ward off evil spirits", secret medicinal ointments that "can't heal", diamonds that are "mined from the Dragon Bone Peak" and have "huge potential for appreciation"...

In the end, most of the small commodities piled up on the tray were bought by the demon caravan members who were strong and brave. Businessmen who have developed a pair of old cold legs in their business career for many years are flocking to the "Lina brand" thermal stickers. Even Alexios, who usually doesn't like collecting, can't stand Mr. Envoy's promotion and spend a lot of money to buy them. A brand new and shiny "Elf Ancient Sword".

And when "Mr. Special Envoy" left with a large bag of gold coins, the old businessman in the "Yehuo" team realized something was wrong:

Why did our caravan come to the wasteland and didn't sell any goods, but bought a bunch of things at a high price first?
Alexios, who was gradually sobering up, stared at the "Ancient Elven Sword" in his hand for a long time, then stumbled and ran out to return the product, but he couldn't find the special envoy, but bumped into Shuangfeng who had been acting as their guide Ridge Knights.

"What's the matter, dear Mr. Alexios?" The knight of Frost Maple Ridge smiled, "Are you having fun?"

"Bo, Brando..." Alexios grabbed the knight's sleeve in a panic, "You...have you seen Lord Igor's special envoy?"

"Master Igor's special envoy?" The Knight of Frost Maple Ridge chewed the word for a while, his face suddenly changed, and he said solemnly, "Mr. Alexios, in recent days, the lord has never sent someone to the southern No. [-] rest area. A special envoy!"

"What?!" Alexios' complexion, even among the fair-skinned demons, seemed a little too pale.

"Damn!" the Knight of Frost Maple Ridge exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Mr. Alexios, you must have encountered a liar! Recently in the rest area, there have been some bastard scams from Rock Creek City. Offender, pretending to be the lord's special envoy to deceive you! You...you can't be fooled!"

"Cheat... liar..." Alexios muttered to himself, then fell to the ground with a thud.

If a photographer is present at this time and takes a photo of him, it can definitely be used as the cover of "Anti-Fraud Alert"-the black and white one.

"Mr. Alexios, don't panic! Our Frost Maple Ridge resolutely safeguards the lives and property safety of businessmen! I'm going to chase that bastard of Rock Creek!" Alexios sat there in a daze, and ran away without looking back.

It took a long time for Alexios to finally accept the tragic fact that he was deceived when he first started trading, got up from the ground, and returned to the banquet hall of "Dragon Gate Hotel" like a walking dead.

The members of the "Yehuo" caravan were still unaware of the fact that they had been deceived, and the banquet was still held in a warm atmosphere.

There are also a few demon girls who are frantically smearing "Dave, Master of Beauty" beauty cream on their faces.

The old businessman in the team, seeing Alexios walking into the hall in a daze with the "Ancient Elf Sword", couldn't help asking in doubt:
"Master President, are you alright?"

"I'm... fine." Alexios smiled uglier than crying.

He knew in his heart that once he told the caravan members the fact that he was defrauded, his dignity and authority as the new president would be ruined, and even his noble family would be ridiculed...

Even though he was unwilling in every possible way, poor Alexios could only suffer from being dumb.

The only thing that comforted Alexios was that at least this dinner was indeed free, and the dishes served by "Dragon Gate Hotel" were rich enough...

So he could only turn his grief into appetite, and with the idea of ​​"eating back what he eats", he ate Hesai for a meal.

Then I started having stomach pains that night.

At nine o'clock in the night, when Alexios walked out of the room with his belly in his hands and wearing a pain mask, he turned his head in the corridor and found a series of very familiar faces:

All members of "Yehuo" are all holding their stomachs, and all are wearing pain masks.

"Fuck! You eat too much too?!" Alexios cried out.

"It's free..." The old businessman stomped his feet anxiously, "Master President, hurry up, where is the toilet?"

A group of unlucky "Ye Huo" scrambled towards the toilet of the "Dragon Gate Hotel" with their stomachs in their hands, only to be blocked by an old human nun who was deaf and blind.

"In the middle of the night, the toilet is being cleaned!" The old woman stood at the door of the toilet with a broom in her hand, as if she was going to make a move, "I can only use it tomorrow morning! You need to go to the toilet, go outside." on the rest area!"

The dangerous voice from the stomach told the group of demon businessmen that they had no time to argue with the old woman why it took all night to clean the toilet.

They had no choice but to turn their heads and run wildly, all the way out of the gate of the "Dragon Gate Hotel", and rushed to the toilet on the edge of the "Southern No. [-] Rest Area";

Then, they saw the price tag of "ten silver coins per person" at the door of the toilet, and the charging old man sitting at the door of the toilet, scrutinizing them with eagle-like predatory eyes.

"Ten silver coins per person, pay first before entering!" the old man muttered.

"Ten silver coins?! Why the hell don't you grab them?!" Alexios' voice changed, and he didn't know whether he was holding back or angry.

The old man who charged was silent, just stretched out his fingers like dead branches, and slowly placed them on the price tag.

Knocked.

"Fuck!" The old businessman in the line yelled, "Who spends this unreasonable money to go to the toilet?! I just shit on the side of the road and it's over?!"

"Then what shall we do?!" The girls in the caravan paled.

"Find a way for yourself!" The old businessman said viciously, and then ran to the grass at the edge of the rest area in three steps and two steps, and began to untie his belt.

As a result, as soon as he showed his white butt under the moonlight, he heard a broken drink:
"Stop! Oh no, hold your butt!"

Everyone in the "Yehuo" Chamber of Commerce turned their heads and saw a heavily armed Shuangfengling soldier rushing over.

The armband of "Civilized Supervision" on the soldier's arm made Alexios feel as if his heart and lungs had stopped.

"In the southern No. [-] rest area, it is forbidden to defecate anywhere!" Shuangfengling soldiers said righteously, "Anyone who violates the law will be fined a gold coin! Maintaining the environment of the land of broken souls is everyone's responsibility!"

Alexios almost cursed:

As for the land of cracked souls, which is a shitty place, where the hell is there a fucking environment that can be fucking maintained? ! ! !
However, facing the official people in Shuangfengling, he could only cover his stomach with a bitter face, and begged in a low voice:

"Little brother, look at this toilet, one person has to pay ten silver coins, it's not for people to go..."

"Anyway, you are not allowed to defecate anywhere!" Shuangfengling soldiers stretched out a shining saber in a serious manner as a warning.

"Fuck!" The old businessman stomped his feet fiercely with his trouser belt, "You Shuangfengling set the price of the toilet so high, isn't this bullying the honest demons?!"

Shuangfengling soldiers glanced at the charging old man and the price tag in front of the toilet door, and said seriously:
"Dear businessman friend, I think you have misunderstood! At present, the public toilet in the No. [-] rest area in the south has not been completed. This toilet does not belong to the Igor family, but a private business! The pricing is a completely free market behavior, and we, Shuangfengling, have no right to interfere!"

"This... this!" The old businessman blushed and was speechless.

He was afraid that if he tried hard, some catastrophic accident would happen.

Shuangfengling soldiers seemed to have not seen the embarrassment of the caravan members, shaking their heads and saying:

"In addition, according to the economic principle of market competition, if the price of this toilet is too high, there will inevitably be competitors with lower prices. In the long run, under the influence of market competition, the price of the toilet will definitely reach a reasonable equilibrium Therefore, we, Shuangfengling, as a law enforcement agency, should not arbitrarily interfere with the service pricing of toilet companies."

"Yes! But we have to go to the bathroom now!" Alexios was sweating profusely.

"In the long run, the price will become more reasonable." Shuangfengling soldiers insisted that Qingshan would not relax.

Then, with a loud "poof", the old merchant of the "Yehuo" caravan showed a mournful expression.

The other caravan members quickly began to take out silver coins.

……

In the middle of the night that day, in the "Southern No. [-] Rest Area Management Office" that was closely guarded by guards.

The lord of Shuangfengling sat behind the desk with his legs crossed, flipping through the bills in the rest area.

The director of "Southern No. [-] Rest Area" who was occupied by Xiahou Yanjiu stood at his desk respectfully, nodding and bowing for a while.

"It's been a week since the trial run?" Xia Houyan put down the account book, tilted his head and asked, "How effective is it?"

"It's perfect!" the director of the rest area hurriedly said, "If this continues, we will be able to recover the construction cost of the rest area even before this summer!"

"Don't be impatient, the water will flow slowly, the territory's capital reserves are still sufficient." Xia Houyan shrugged.

"Yes!" The director of the rest area saluted, "I will definitely not let you down!"

"Relax, don't be nervous..." Xia Houyan smiled, and pointed to Alice beside him, "Captain Comstock and I are going to discuss things at the Arcane Spire defense line in the south this time, but it just so happened By the way, just come to your rest area for a walk, it's not a formal assessment, don't be so rigid..."

"Southern No. [-] rest area, treat every day's business as an assessment!" The supervisor of the rest area yelled a pretty awesome slogan, and then said with a smile, "My lord, all the outstanding employees in our rest area are here. See?"

"Okay!" Xia Houyan smacked his lips.

The supervisor of the rest area quickly clapped his hands, and a string of rest area employees filed in.

If the unlucky members of the "Yehuo" caravan are here, they will definitely find that this group of "excellent employees" includes the knights of Shuangfengling who lead them the way, the clerk who counts the goods, the owner of the "Dragon Gate Inn", and the fake and real ones. The sometimes true and false "Lord's special envoy", the cleaning aunt at the hotel toilet door, the old man charging at the sky-high toilet door, the fined soldier wearing the armband...

In other words, they are all from Shuangfengling.

Xia Houyan stood up from behind the desk, walked around to the front, and shook hands with these outstanding employees one by one.

When shaking hands with the cook of the "Dragon Gate Hotel", the lord also kindly instructed that the amount of laxatives used in the meals must be controlled, and that production safety should be kept in mind...

The outstanding employees were flattered and assured the lord that they would work hard in the future.

"How did you come up with such an excellent design for the rest area?" The supervisor of the rest area did not forget to flatter, "This one-stop fraud... service process is really a genius idea!"

Xiahou's gaze suddenly became deep and distant.

"It all started a long, long time ago, when I went to a barber shop and joined a tour group..." he said slowly.
