Fantasy: Rune Inventor

"Then why didn't you do it later?" asked

Chen Mu curiously.

"After seeing you, I hesitated again, like you said, what's the point of me killing you?"

Styx sighed, his eyes complicated.

"Then I showed up to see you, just to see what you had to say. "

That means you're really going to kill me if I said the wrong thing at the time?" Styx

smiled, as cold and deadly as a poppy.

"Guess?"

"Forget it, I'm still not a good guess."

Chen Mu cupped his forehead, deeply doubting whether he was overestimating his charm.

......

The next day, when he woke up early in the morning, Chen Mu contacted Hu Sailei.

"Brother Hou, something big happened this time!

I don't know if you Bafang Commercial Bank has any industry in Absolute

Sword City..."After the two discussed for a long time, Hou Sailei gave Chen Mu the contact information of the person in charge of the Bafang Chamber of Commerce in Absolute Sword City.

Chen Mu immediately set off and met the person in charge, Liang Yu, in a grocery store on the commercial street.

The Bafang Chamber of Commerce is a comprehensive chamber of commerce, which involves any business, among which the groceries are not very profitable, but they are stable and very suitable for the long stream.

Liang Yu is an old man in his fifties, he grew up in Absolute Sword City, and he came out to help his father run a grocery store not long after he became sensible, and he has a deep affection for this place.

"Old Liang Yu, I've seen Master Mu!" After

seeing Chen Mu, Liang Yu immediately saluted respectfully.

Chen Mu hurriedly stretched out his hand and helped Liang Yu up.

"Uncle Liang, I came this time to ask for something, please don't be polite.

After Liang Yu got up, he shook his head and lowered his posture.

"Just now, Young Master Hou Sailei has already told me about the situation. With the three young masters Hou Sailei, Hou Tian and Hou Gu as your guarantor, there is absolutely no problem for you to embezzle funds. With that

, Liang Yu took out a ring and handed it to Chen Mu.

"This is all the liquid funds that our Octagon Chamber of Commerce can embezzle in Absolute Sword City, and I have exchanged them all for spirit stones.

Chen Mu took the ring and felt the spirit stones filled inside, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

"Thank you so much! That way, I'm more sure of resisting the demons. Hearing

Chen Mu say this, Liang Yu's respectful expression became a little more sincere.

Although the City Lord's Mansion has not yet announced the news that the Fenghai Customs has been broken, in the city, the forces that are slightly more well-informed have already received the news, and Liang Yu has already received the news last night.

"Master Mu, I heard from Young Master Hou Sailei that the master is planning to gather people and horses to fight against the demons.

If necessary, the guards of my grocery store are willing to saddle up and serve the master. "

Now many of the merchants in the city have left, but Liang Yu can't go, he has been worrying about the business of Absolute Sword City all his life, and now a war may be ruined, which is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

Although Absolute Sword City is the second line of defense against the alien demons, there has not been a war with the alien demons for hundreds of years, and the most common thing to deal with is to deal with scattered alien invasions, which is why the city's commerce is so prosperous.

In the matter of defending Absolute Sword City, these local forces are the most loyal, and they are absolutely reluctant to give up their efforts for so many years unless they have to.

Chen Mu felt the strength of the guards in the grocery store and nodded silently.

"Okay, then I'll come back to you when I need it. "

Although the strength of these guards is not high, there are quite a few of them, and they can also be used as an alternative when they need manpower later.

......

In the afternoon, in Chen Mu's room, he was looking at the map of Absolute Sword City, thinking silently.

Two knocks rang out at the door.

"Come in!"

Chen Duo pushed the door and walked in, saying to Chen Mu.

"Brother, just now, the White City Lord has issued an announcement and posted the matter of the wind customs being broken.

Now the city is in chaos, and a lot of people are packing up and leaving.

Chen Mu was a little surprised, he didn't expect Bai Jinglong to announce it so quickly, which was a lot earlier than he expected.

"We asked the disciples of the Heavenly Pavilion how their reactions were, did anyone leave?"

"Not yet, after all, it's not sure if the alien army will attack Absolute Sword City.

However, I've heard that some people have already contacted their families, and they will leave once it is determined that the alien army is coming.

After all, these big families are huge, and as long as they pay the price, they can completely offset the crime of defection.

Chen Mu nodded, refocusing his gaze on the map.

"Duoduo, you go and call Ah Huo and Styx, I have a plan to talk to you about. "

Okay!"

Chen Duo turned to leave.

A moment later, she had already come with Ah Huo and Styx, and it seemed that neither of them had left the room.

Chen Mu stood up and circled a mountain peak with a pen in the upper north of the map.

"You're all here, so I'll make a long story short!

I'm going to organize a team of men and horses to be stationed on this Broken Blade Mountain together, and form horns with Absolute Sword City.

In this way, even if the alien demon's strength is several times that of us, it will be difficult to break through the Absolute Sword City!"

"But this is too risky for us, although the terrain of Broken Blade Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but once the demon king powerhouse on the opposite side forcibly rushes up, it will be difficult for us to resist.

Ah Huo said cautiously.

"This is indeed a problem! I will talk to the city lord and the elders about this.

In fact, Broken Blade Mountain is only about ten kilometers away from Broken Sword City, and the powerhouses of the Demon King level can fly, even if they fly to Broken Blade Mountain in Absolute Sword City, they can arrive at the latest in the time of half a stick of incense.

As long as our strong men can keep an eye on the enemy's strong men, it will be difficult for them to inflict much damage on us.

After Chen Mu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the side.

Only then did everyone realize that Chen Mu had released the bloated spaceship in his ring, disassembled some parts, and was obviously transforming it.

"I've been transforming this spaceship, I've added a space shuttle rune to it, and when the time comes, it's really not possible, we can get on this spaceship and escape, this is my way out.

However, if we are convicted of defection, it will be very troublesome, and it is likely that we will not be able to return to Middle-earth in the future.

So I don't want to use it as a last resort.

Ah Huo, Styx, and Chen Duo all nodded suddenly, more convinced of Chen Mu.

"Chen Mu, are you so optimistic about

the Absolute Sword City? As a border city, the Absolute Sword City has garrisons, and it is said that there are now 80,000 Absolute Sword Troops in the city, and there are tens of thousands of City Guard troops in the City Guard Mansion.

Maybe we don't have to do anything, and the White City Lord will take down the demons with these armies?"
