Angry city lord

When Liang Lidong returned to the village, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Both children and adults were worried that Liang Lidong would not come back. They were worried that Liang Lidong would never come back. This was not because Liang Lidong owed them anything … Teaching dozens of children how to read and how to be a human being was not enough to build three such temples, let alone one. However, if Liang Lidong left the village, it would be very difficult for the children to find another teacher and for the village to build another temple. It had been hundreds of years since the village was built. There was only one chance in hundreds of years. Once it was gone, the villagers would be depressed for at least a few decades.

After returning to his small cottage, Liang Lidong and Joan Of Arc slept until the next day. Although he had been staying in the hotel for the past few days and did not move much, his mental exhaustion was real. In order to make his plan succeed, his spirit had been tight like a bowstring. Things were just as he said. No plan could be guaranteed to be 100% perfect. No matter how sophisticated a plan was, it needed a certain amount of luck to succeed. Fortunately, Liang Lidong did not lack luck this time. The plan went smoothly, so he could now sleep soundly.

When he woke up the next day, he found a lot of fresh ingredients at the door. Because it was just the beginning of the spring equinox, most of the green plants were not yet edible. So there were some meat at the door, such as rabbit meat, beef, mutton, and so on.

When Liang Lidong returned to the room, Joan Of Arc, who was lying on the bed, smiled and said, "You were not vigilant at all last night and this morning. If someone had put something at your door, you would have woken up long ago. I thought I was the most tired person these days, but now it seems that you are more tired than me."

Liang Lidong smiled and then made a hearty breakfast for himself and Joan Of Arc. Then he went to the river to teach the group of children.

After not seeing each other for about ten days, the thirst for knowledge in the children's eyes was even more exuberant. They were already used to learning new knowledge every day. Suddenly, there was a gap of about ten days. That feeling of emptiness and loss was something they did not want to experience again.

After teaching the children for more than an hour, he asked Belin and Kail to follow him. In the back mountain, Liang Lidong asked them to show their learning in the past ten days. Belin could now look at everything without blinking. Her willpower had grown. The next step was a higher level of training, meditation.

Meditation was a skill that mages and priests must learn, but it was not necessary for warlocks, because warlocks cast spells more by instinct, not knowledge, or willpower. Also, the magic effect of warlocks was higher. At first glance, warlocks seemed to be more powerful, but in fact, warlocks were greatly limited. After all, warlocks' magic was limited by their bloodline, and there were only a few of them. In order to enrich their combat methods, most warlocks would learn additional combat skills, such as using crossbows and making scrolls.

The Divine Nobles were actually similar, but because of the class features, Liang Lidong could learn quite good melee swordsmanship, and he also got the specialty of making scrolls, which greatly improved his combat methods. Besides, the magic skill Mist Manipulation was quite powerful. It was thanks to the effect of this skill that Liang Lidong was able to kill monsters above his level and defeat many enemies.

Although warlocks did not need to master the skill of meditation, Liang Lidong knew how to practice this specialty. He said to Belin, "Now I'm going to teach you the skill of meditation. First of all, you have to sit cross-legged. It doesn't matter what position you are in. In fact, you can lie down, but it's easy to fall asleep lying down, so the common posture for meditation is to sit cross-legged. It's easier for beginners to learn."

Belin sat down and closed her eyes. Liang Lidong pointed his finger and condensed a spot of white light, then tapped it on the girl's forehead, and asked, "You can see this spot of white light in your consciousness, right?"

Belin nodded.

Liang Lidong retracted his finger. "Can I still see the white light now?"

Belin closed her eyes and shook her head. Liang Lidong said, "That's right. In the future, just imagine that there is such a mass of white light in your consciousness. Don't think about anything else. Just start trying it now."

Belin sat cross-legged and nodded vigorously.

Then Liang Lidong turned his gaze to Kail, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time. He smiled and said, "It's been five months. Let me see how you've practiced the stab. Show me."

Kail picked up the wooden training sword and stabbed it to the side. He used almost all the strength in his body for this stab. The wooden sword stabbed out very quickly, and with a whoosh in the air, Kail's sword momentum was exhausted. Although he had used all his strength, the tip of his sword was very stable, stopping in the air without even moving.

"Teacher, it's alright." Kail didn't have much confidence in his heart.

Liang Lidong frowned slightly. It wasn't that Kail's sword was bad, but that he was using it too well. He had only practiced the stab for a short five months, but he already had the demeanor of a master swordsman. Logically speaking, this didn't make sense, unless … Liang Lidong thought of a possibility. He pulled the system's character notification into his field of vision and was a little surprised.

Name: Kail Reed (Level 1)

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Occupation:???

As expected! Liang Lidong looked at the data and sighed. In the game, if an ordinary NPC wanted to become a professional, they had to go through very strict training and then master a combat specialty before they could undergo a qualitative transformation. For example, Belin, she had also trained for five months, but she was still an ordinary person.

Seeing that Liang Lidong didn't speak for a long time, Kail was a little nervous. He asked in a low voice, "Teacher, is my swordsmanship really good?"

Liang Lidong heaved a sigh of relief. "Although I've never believed in the existence of geniuses, I have to say this time, Kail, you're indeed very good. No wonder you could practice the nondescript swordsmanship that the mercenary taught you. Now that you're practicing orthodox swordsmanship, you're improving very quickly! "

Hearing his teacher's praise, Kail was so happy that he grinned. Liang Lidong then continued, "Don't be too happy, I have another very important thing to tell you. Although I don't know what's going on, you're now a professional, and your swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. I suspect that you've already mastered the specialty 'Swordsmanship Specialization.' "

After a brief hesitation, Kail's mouth opened wider and wider. Finally, he jumped up and let out a happy cry, then he ran around on the grass with his hands open. This sound startled Belin, who was meditating, and she frowned.

"Teacher, really, really?" There was an indescribable ecstasy on Kail's handsome face.

Liang Lidong understood his current mood very well and didn't think that he was troublesome. He just said, "You can try chopping trees with your wooden sword. If you can cut small trees like I did, you'll definitely be a professional."

After hearing this, Kail immediately walked to the side, and after half a second of concentration, he stabbed out with his sword. Half of the wooden sword was stabbed into the tree trunk, but the wooden sword itself wasn't damaged at all. At this time, he still couldn't believe it. After repeatedly confirming that his wooden sword was intact, he finally grinned happily.

Becoming a professional was the dream of most NPCs, because it meant a new way out. But Liang Lidong understood that Kail wanted to become a professional not for the so-called way out, nor was it for survival, but for a dream. A dream to go out and see, and also the purest motivation. In this dangerous world, people with dreams were very rare. But the more dreams a person had, the more likely they were to be harmed by the malice of the world.

Just as Liang Lidong was about to warn Kail about some unwritten rules regarding professionals, a child ran in and shouted, "Teacher, there's a noble looking for you at the village entrance. He says he's the mayor!"

"Coming!"

Liang Lidong laughed in his heart. He let Belin continue to learn meditation techniques, and he went to the village entrance. As soon as he arrived, he saw the mayor's face beyond recognition. Behind him were about a hundred cavalrymen.

Half a minute later, the two sat in the straw hut. The mayor directly scolded, "Sir Beta, I don't think I've offended you in any way. How can you harm me like this?"

"How did I harm you?" Liang Lidong asked.

"I found Ackerman's body in the mine yesterday. This was your doing, wasn't it?" Uther angrily slammed down with all his might, and the wooden stare broke into a few pieces. He scolded, "You offended the Church of Life, and now you're blaming it on me. You really think I, Uther, don't know how to kill, don't dare to kill?"

"Of course I know you know how to kill. I'm sure you killed the six priests of the Church of Life." Liang Lidong chuckled, as if ignoring the mayor's anger. "But Ackerman's death really has nothing to do with me. Moreover, you killed six priests of the Church of Life. Adding another Ackerman won't make any difference. Why are you so angry?"

"Ackerman's death really has nothing to do with you?"

Liang Lidong said resolutely. "Nothing to do with me!"

"Very well! That 15% of the gold mine's income has nothing to do with you from now on! "Uther got up and was about to leave.

Liang Lidong didn't even raise his head and directly asked, "Why?"

"I don't want to work with a liar." Uther's face was full of mockery.

Liang Lidong laughed. "I'm a liar? My treasure map is fake? Or is the contract I signed fake? The contract clearly says that I provide the information and you provide the manpower. You get the lion's share of the profits, but you're still not satisfied. You still want to find an excuse to swallow my share. You, Uther, do indeed know how to kill, but … do you also think that I, Beta, don't know how to kill, and don't dare to kill? "

Uther's eyes narrowed, reflecting a cold light. He didn't think that Liang Lidong would dare to be tough at a time like this. "You dare to threaten me? Do you know that I can kill you with one hand? Even if I can't, there are more than a hundred cavalrymen outside the house. You can try to kill me! Let's see if your magic is stronger or if I have more men. "

"That's unnecessary!" Liang Lidong pointed at the ground. "Actually, I've set up a magic array where you are. As soon as I suffer any damage, this place will explode with a bang. Besides, do you really think that I don't have any melee abilities? Uther, you've already been outsmarted by your own cleverness a few months ago. Don't play petty tricks again. You'll have to give me the last dregs of my share, or don't blame me for being rude. Do you really think that I don't have anyone behind my back? "

Liang Lidong's face was as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice. Activating Noble Temperament, he pressed his opponent like a real mountain.

Uther was even more infuriated. Nobody in Winterwind dared to talk to him like that ever since he destroyed Elric half a year ago. He came to Reed Village this time with the intention of denouncing Beta, but on the other hand, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to swallow Beta's share of his share. He didn't expect that he would receive an even tougher answer after coming unyieldingly.

He really wanted to kill Beta right now. Fifteen percent of the profits from the gold mine was too much. It was so much that he wanted to kill anyone. But the problem was that the young man gave him a dangerous feeling. He didn't realize that the young man was so terrifying half a year ago, which made him hesitate to act recklessly.

"Hehe, if you weren't my future son-in-law, Master Kail, I would've killed you. I'll let it go this time, but if you dare to lie to me again, you'll be dead. " Uther stood up and left the cottage in a hurry. He truly believed that there was a powerful magic array buried underground. He was relieved when he was outside and quickly left with his cavalrymen.

"Humph, you're insulting me?" Liang Lidong looked at Uther's back and was quite disdainful. "In the game, I dared to point at a Demigod's face and call her a whore. You're just a Castellan. Do you think I'm afraid of you? Do you think I don't know why you're here? What scammer? What mischief? It's all a lie. You just want to make things difficult for me and swallow my share! "

Joan Of Arc asked, "If you don't like money, why don't you just return his share of the gold mine to him? Why do you have to piss off a mayor?"

"Uther is a noble before he's a soldier!" Liang Lidong replied, "I know the nobles very well. They are jackals that bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as you take a step back, as long as you show the slightest bit of weakness, they will think of ways to get more benefits from you and then swallow you whole, bones and skin. To deal with these nobles, it's a good way to be tougher than him. If I hadn't done that just now, in less than ten minutes, he would've brought the cavalrymen outside the village to kill the two of us. Of course, he might not be able to kill us, but it's not nice to be bullied and disgusted. "

As Liang Lidong listened to the sound of the cavalrymen's hooves fading away, he continued, "Uther is a good father, a good mayor, and a very competent and cunning nobleman. I believe in the saying, 'You have to pay for what you've done sooner or later.' Half a year ago, he dared to drag us down with him and almost got us killed. Now, I dare to put the blame on him and take a large sum of wealth from his mouth. In the early years, I was bullied by the NPC nobles, and now he wants to play these little tricks again. Do you really think that my eight years of game time was for nothing? "

Joan turned her head sideways: "Why can't I understand the second half of your sentence... What is NPC, game time?"
