Chapter 340 Old Morey's Plan
The arrival of Ivy brought a new guest to the third floor of the hotel. Mu Hua discovered that the conflicts among the heirs of the Benson family seemed to be more acute than he imagined.
Tebitha has always faced Ivy with a bland attitude, so bland that she almost ignores her.
Ivy always had an unconcealable disdain for Tabitha, but she was also guarded against Tabitha, as if Tabitha would grab her and slap her at any time.
Even if the two would say hello when they met, they would always be far away from each other, and Ivy would never take the initiative to communicate with Tabitha.
Tebitha always hangs out with Vivian, Icarus, and Eve. These four girls are more like sisters. Clark is like the stereotypical younger brother who is always teased by them. Tebitha will also greet the people in the logistics team.
Ivy mostly accompanies Gray, and they will get along with Ajer, who was sent by Otis to fight on the front line. After confirming that Mu Hua is the inspector general of the Raiders Association, Ivy and Gray looked obviously better when they met Mu Hua. It's a bit cloudy and hard to tell.
And Mu Hua is not trying to get close to Ivy for the time being. Too much is not enough.
Mu Hua has been looking for opportunities to attack Ivy, the kind that goes in with a white knife and comes out with a red knife.
It's a pity that she and Gray were too close. Mu Hua couldn't find a chance for a while. He wanted to use Ajer to separate the two, but he was worried about causing trouble. Moreover, there were many adventurers wandering around the town recently, so Mu Hua temporarily stopped thinking.
Deman was taking care of the hotel affairs. As a hands-off shopkeeper, Mu Hua was originally planning to go to the Island of the Abyss to smelt the magic stone sent by Paji. By the way, it was time to leave on Tuesday.
But the small town's arms dealer, Old Morey, suddenly came to the hotel, which surprised Mu Hua. What's more, this old guy actually invited Mu Hua to have a drink in the hotel.
Did this guy have a falling out with old Barron? He even supported Deman's wine business.
“嘿，伙计，难道尤多拉夫人爱上了老巴伦，你想让我帮你揍他一顿么？”来到吧台附近的酒桌旁，穆骅坐在老莫雷的身边，接Have a glass of gin with olive juice.
"Haha, all eyes of Eudora are my shadow, Mu, I have some serious things that I want to talk to you about." When Old Morey smiled, Mu Hua unexpectedly discovered that he was actually wearing formal clothes, and his usual expression on his face The arrogance seems to be reduced a lot.
"What's wrong? You make me feel bad when you look like this. What happened?" Old Morey's strange behavior made Mu Hua stop joking.
He can be regarded as the first person Mu Hua made friends with after coming to Loren, and thanks to his introduction, Mu Hua was able to integrate into the town so quickly.
Although the two of them usually joked and quarreled and made some minor jokes from time to time, Mu Hua also regarded him as a friend.
"No, don't worry, I'm fine. I just wanted to ask you, how do you feel about Hobert?" Old Morey waved his hand and asked.
"Hobert? Your son-in-law? Why do you think he's doing it when I'm fine? Man, if you have anything to do, just tell me." Mu Hua said inexplicably.
Old Morey turned his head and looked around. The lobby on the first floor was very spacious. In addition, many residents had recently gone to the courtyard, and there were no people around the two of them.
Old Morey didn't look nervous at all. This action was like gossiping about someone in a bar. It was just a habit.
"Mu, Pete has become more and more outrageous recently." Old Morey said.
"Well, I know. Didn't you say you want to remove him? No problem, I support it." Mu Hua said casually.
Citizens' rights to vote and to be elected are essentially taking off their pants and farting, but knowing how to use chicken feathers as an arrow and voluntarily ignoring and giving up are not the same thing.
Ever since the Cannes City project was established, the mayor of the town, Pete, has been a little distracted. Recently, he has not communicated with the townspeople about many things related to the town. He has not learned much about the skills of politicians, but his style is getting more and more powerful. Mu Hua does not Mind stumbling upon him.
"Yes, we are going to remove him, but you also know that from now on our place will be the City of Cannes."
"If we really push him out of office, what if Bridges takes advantage of the situation and sends us a mayor or district mayor? Those people are all here for Cannes City, and they will definitely not share our hearts." Morey said.
Bearpig Town originally belonged to Hayman City, and Hayman City was a city under the jurisdiction of the Earl of Bridges. Now Bearpig Town is under the jurisdiction of Cannes City and is separated from Hayman, but it is still under the jurisdiction of Bridges.
"You mean...?" Old Morey's statement is not unfounded. Originally, Bear and Pig Town was located in a remote area, and there was nothing you could ask for. Naturally, it would not attract the attention of the big men, and no politician would be willing to go here. .
Nowadays, there is a lot of investment in urban construction. Regardless of whether it is speculation or planning, regardless of whether it is dispatched or on your own, there should be many people who want to come here to plant flags.
Local official, local official, you, an outsider, come to be an official in a local area, you say that you will wholeheartedly work for the welfare of the local area? What a ghost.
Of course, after the town becomes the city of Cannes, the term "place" will gradually become blurred and the concept will change. Probably only the aboriginal people in small towns are more attached to the original meaning of ‘place’.
If they are not persistent, it doesn't really matter. At most, they can just stop complaining when "outsiders" ride on their heads in their hometown, give up their own land, shut down their own livelihood, and screw screws for others. alright.
But obviously, the gang of unscrupulous people in Xiongzhu Town did not have this awareness for the time being, and Mu Hua instantly understood that Old Morey planned to overthrow Pete and then push one of his own to take up the position.
"Yes, that's right. What do you think about letting Hobert be the mayor?" Old Morey asked Mu Hua.
"I think...even if I think there is no problem, it can't be done by just squatting here and having a few sips, right?" Mu Hua said with a smile, no wonder Old Morey went to the battle in person, and his feelings were to rival his own son-in-law.
"I talked to some people in the town about this matter. Ivan, Gena, Dorn and Selma all support it. Now I'm looking at you." Old Morey stared at Mu Hua, with a pair of old eyes, quite a bit... The momentum of urging people to go to Liangshan.
Ai Wen and Gena are both big households in the town, and they control a large amount of land. Although one is a logger and the other is a farmer and livestock farmer, they have a lot of say in the town.
Including those bosses who open factories and run businesses, no matter how shiny they are on the surface, no matter how profitable they are, when it comes to matters in the small town, it’s not that they don’t want to mess with the bumpkins in the town, but that they understand very well that in Ai In front of Wen and Gena, they had no qualifications to intervene.
Dorn is the "family" of doctors in the town. In the early years when the town was unpopular, the townspeople had to rely on Dorn's family to take care of their problems.
From treating eyes to treating constipation, from treating people to treating animals, Dorn can do it all.
Well, no matter in any world, throughout the ages, there are only two abilities that can last forever, one is to kill people, and the other is to save people.
So Dorn is quite important in the town.
As for Selma, who sells magic materials, she is considered a veteran in the town. She was also the only resident in the town who knew some magic knowledge in the early years and could teach it to the children in the town.
In addition, Old Barron, who has been in charge of the town's "entertainment venue" for many years and has worn the same pants as Old Morey since childhood, has won the support of this group of people, and Old Morey has almost won the support of all the townspeople.
But gaining the support of the townspeople does not mean that his son-in-law can become the mayor. After all, they are still a group of unruly people. . .
This is Bear and Pig Town under the rule of the Sorcerous Empire. Public opinion is very important to the empire, but it doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.
Thinking about this, there is no need for Mu Hua to remind him, and it is impossible for Morey to not understand this.
"What do you want me to do?" Mu Hua asked Old Morey.
"I heard that you have many skeleton relatives?" Old Morey asked.
"Who did you listen to?" Mu Hua was stunned. Everyone in the town knew that he was a necromancer, but he did not summon a large number of skeletons in front of the villagers. The townspeople could not tell whether the skeletons he created were his dependents. .
"I asked about it from Tricia." Old Morey whispered.
"Tsk, you actually talked about swaying her?" Mu Hua's eyelids twitched, this old guy is awesome, he dared to seduce the wandering witch.
"Well, as long as she is still in the town, no other witches will be allowed to open and operate shops in the town in the future." Old Morey said.
"Very good. If Hobert doesn't go up, I'll try my best to persuade Tricia to spare your life." Mu Hua twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Don't talk about this. How many skeleton warriors do you have? Can you make up a hundred?" Old Morey said.
"Who are you looking down on? You have the nerve to use a word like "less than five hundred"? What do you want them for?" Mu Hua curled his lips. He really had a lot of skeleton warriors.
"Hi, are they all your dependents?" Old Morey gasped.
"Well, that's not true. Get me hundreds of devil's skin scrolls and I'll sign them all." Mu Hua shook his head.
The devil's skin scroll is very cheap, and the little devil's skin can be used to make it. It's not that Mu Hua can't afford the devil's skin scroll, it's mainly because it's troublesome.
Mu Hua found it troublesome for the "auxiliary products" created by the skeleton warriors to farm the skeleton mages, so he just told them not to kill each other, and did not sign a slavery contract with them one by one.
"Then how many dependents do you have? If it's not a dependent, I wouldn't dare to use it." Old Morey rolled his eyes. It's not that he can't afford the devil's skin scroll, it's mainly because he doesn't believe that Mu Hua can make all those skeletal warriors into dependents.
"You use it? You... forget it, the family members can probably raise two to three hundred, what on earth are you going to do?" Mu Hua was stunned, then waved his hand and asked.
"Two or three hundred? Well, how about two hundred? You send out two hundred skeleton warriors, and I will equip them with weapons and ammunition."
"I think, let Hobert form a guard to maintain law and order in our town."
"And isn't the star patrol meeting about to start soon? Let Hobert take them to show off. He is just a mayor. With such an armed force in his hand, he should be able to earn some money, right?" Old Morey analyzed.
Mu Hua was stunned: "Maintaining law and order? Hobert is not the mayor now. Are you pretending to be a guard?"
"I've discussed it with Sheriff Lolaini, it's no problem." Old Morey said.
"Old guy, why didn't I know you were so awesome before? But what's the use of your first-level exorcism bullets during the Star Patrol Meeting?" Mu Hua truly admired Old Morey. Hobert, his father-in-law, was Not in vain.
"Level five, level five exorcism bullets. Kunna is willing to cooperate with us. She can provide level five exorcism bullets." Old Morey said proudly.
"..." Mu Hua was silent. Good guy, even Kunna has joined the gang. Even if Peter doesn't step down, he may not be able to hang out in the town anymore. (End of chapter)
