Chapter 85

"…" All the citizens who were standing before the stage stared at Lucas dumbfoundedly. They thought that they had heard him wrong about the salt prices. After all, a kilogram of salt cost 60 copper coins in Sedona City and 64 copper coins in other cities which were far away from the sea.

A few merchants had brought the news that the city which was on the bank of the sea had been attacked by pirates. Pirates had caused the destruction of many salt-making tools, so they will no longer supply salt to western land. And yet, Lucas told them that they could purchase a kilogram of salt with just 10 copper coins.

"Lord Lucas, did you say that we can buy a kilogram of salt for 10 copper coins?" Someone asked from the crowd.

"Yes, you heard right. It's 10 copper coins for a kilogram of salt. However, only people with ID cards can buy 1 kilogram of salt at a time." Lucas said with a smile. 'This is a good chance to increase my fame and good reputation. I can't miss this opportunity.' The reason that Lucas had decided to announce the sale himself rather than just posting a notice on the bulletin board was so he could increase his fame and maintain his good reputation among the citizens.

"Yay! We can afford to eat salt now." A citizen shouted with happiness.

"Long live Lord Lucas! Long live Lord Lucas! Long live Lord Lucas!"

The citizens were all shouting excitedly. In their minds, Lucas, who could give them good food to eat and good places to live in, was akin to a god.

As for what kind of god, well, it depends on the person. Someone who wanted a son would pray towards the castle to wish to be able to get one.

This time, Ben hadn't placed anyone in the crowds, which meant that these were the people's actual feelings toward Lucas.

This was what Lucas wanted. He wanted the hearts of the people so that even if he messed around, the people would still follow him.

The salt store behind Lucas soon opened, and the people immediately went to line up, as taught by their children. They had said that a civilized, educated person shouldn't be like a dog jumping at a bone. Lucas had requested that every time the kids went home, they would teach their parents a few things that they learned at school.

Now that their lives were getting better, none of the citizens wanted to be called a dog, so they all tried to remember their manners.

One person pushed his way through the line to get inside the shop.

"Hey! Did your kid not teach you that you should line up to buy things? Are you rushing to eat shit or something?" Someone in the line yelled.

"My kid didn't teach me." The man's facial expression changed and he immediately walked away, mumbling, "You little kid, watch how I deal with you when I get back home."

The corner of Lucas's mouth twitched. 'Who the fuck taught it that way? I fucking said that civilization creates new styles, so we shouldn't litter, we shouldn't be like a dog and poop or pee anywhere, we shouldn't throw our trash on the ground after we finish eating…'

"It seems that education still has a long way to go in this city." Lucas decided that he should create some new teaching materials when he gets back so such things wouldn't happen again.

He looked at the citizens walking toward the shop to buy rock salt. They were all happy to be able to buy salt. Some even ripped open their paper bags, picked up some salt with their fingers and put it in their mouths.

"It's salt! It really is salt."

The salt in the store was pre-packed into two types of paper bags. A small bag that contained 50 grams of salt and a large bag that contained 1 kilogram of salt.

Jeffrey stared at the crowd of people lining up to buy salt. It was as if he had lost his soul. The people that were walking by with their bags of salt held high and whistling made his heart sink.

Jeffrey had originally been strolling through the Shopping Mall to find something to buy, but what he saw was something that made him despair. He was done. There was still 2/3 of the salt that he had brought with him left, and the price of 10 copper coins per kilogram of salt would make him go bankrupt. He couldn't sell it for 10 copper coins per kilogram as he had bought the salt at a price of 15 copper coins per kilogram.

"What should I do? Do I have to leave Sedona City?" This was the only solution that Jeffrey could think of in this current situation. He didn't consider trying to conspire against Lucas as that was akin to suicide. He remembered what happened to the wheat merchants who tried to conspire against Lucas.

Jeffrey sighed. "It seems like I have to leave this city." There was a complicated expression on his face. He had seen all the changes in Sedona City, so he had decided that after he sold all his salt, he would retire or find some other jobs in Sedona City.

"What a pity. I should go and buy a house before I leave. Otherwise, it would be too late when I come back."

Jeffrey left with his carts of salt. He decided to sell them at a low price and come back to Sedona City to retire or maybe even find a new job. He didn't know how Lucas got such low-priced salt, and he didn't want to know. He knew how competent Lucas was and knew that Lucas would definitely not lose money.

Jeffrey's departure didn't have an impact. Not many people even knew that he had left Sedona City.

Helen looked around quietly and thought, 'Humans aren't that scary after all. They're just like beastkins, worrying about their meals. There was still something different about this city compared to the other cities- no one felt superior to the other.' Helen knew that Lucas was the one who made it all possible.

Annie hugged Helen's waist, trying to look at the stage. She looked at Helen and smiled mischievously. She got close to Helen's ears, whispering, "Helen, let me tell you something."

"What is it?"

"The clothes that you're currently wearing are Young Master's clothes. Oh, and he had worn them before."

"Wh- what did you say?"

Helen froze. Her face turned red, her ears straightened, and she slowly turned her face to look at Annie. Her eyes watered, and while trembling, she said, "Annie, you're joking, right?"

"No, it's true. The clothes you wore last night were also Young Master's clothes. They were tight clothes and stuck to his body."

"St- st- stuck to his body?"

"Hey, hey, don't faint! Oh my god… this idiot rabbit actually fainted from embarrassment."
