My Pokémon Player
#667 - Isn't this bungee jumping?
Facing his confidant's gaze expecting praise, Dick almost couldn't maintain the indifferent expression on his face.
Return to Guanhai City? Isn't this just rushing to give Ryan a head?
If this confidant had not already passed the loyalty test, Dick would have suspected that he was an undercover agent sent by other forces.
I'm not afraid of the enemy racking their brains, I'm just afraid of a foolish person having an idea!
No, this idiot will get me into trouble sooner or later. Next time I go to the island, I will let him explore the way. It will be a good use of his resources.
Dick suppressed his anger and said, "No, your idea is great, but there is just one small problem."
"What's the problem?" the confidant asked in confusion.
"The problem is what if we are discovered by Ryan? Do you have the ability to deal with his group of Dragonites?" Dick asked in a cold tone.
The confidant was stunned for a moment, then replied with an embarrassed expression: "How can I do that?"
"Who will deal with the Dragonite tribe? Me?" Dick squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"Is this okay with you?" the confidant said with clear and stupid eyes.
Dick almost laughed out of anger when he heard this: "You don't want me to die in Ryan's hands and then take my place, do you?"
"I dare not!" the confidant denied in panic.
"It's not that I don't want to, but that I don't dare? It seems that you have had this thought before!"
Dick sneered, his eyes gleaming coldly.
"No! Absolutely not! How could I betray you!"
The confidant loudly expressed his loyalty, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Actually, I don't care whether you have this idea or not." Dick's tone suddenly slowed down, staring at his confidant in front of him.
"We in the Shadow Church have always valued ability and pursued the survival of the fittest. The reason why that idiot Sarko was able to become a deacon is not only because of his loyalty, but also because he has excellent combat ability."
"So as long as you have outstanding abilities, you can definitely covet my position as deacon. If I am replaced by you, it only means that I am not capable enough, and I can't blame anyone else."
"It's a pity that you have no ability and are always too smart. You can't become a deacon on your own."
"But you have this idea. If you continue like this, you will not only hurt yourself, but you may also implicate me. What do you think I should do with you?"
The confidant looked at the indifferent expression on Dick's face and knew that his next answer would be a matter of life and death.
Under the threat of death, his wisdom reached its peak for a time.
"Master Dick, I admit that I want to climb up, but I really have no intention of betraying you."
"I just plan to follow a guardian like Sarko did, and then climb to the position of deacon."
Dick raised his eyebrows: "Oh? But I'm not a guardian now."
The confidant smiled charmingly and said, "With your ability, it is only a matter of time before you become a Dharma protector."
"Even a mentally ill guy like Ram can become a guardian. You will definitely be appreciated by the Lord Leader!"
Dick looked at his confidant deeply, and then said calmly:
"Although you have used all your brains to flatter, at least you can still be saved. I can give you another chance."
"If you dare to mention any good ideas in front of me next time, I will make you dive into the lava to find the molten bird!"
When the confidant heard Dick say this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say a few more nice words, Dick interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Okay, let's rush to the next volcanic island as soon as possible. According to the information I bought on the merchant ship a few days ago, a powerful fire-attributed monster appeared on the next sunflower island."
"Although those merchants did not see the beast, it is not difficult to tell from the battle traces they described that the opponent was extremely powerful. It is very likely to be a molten bird."
"Pass my order, you must reach Sunflower Island within two days!"
"Yes, sir!"
——
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, five days have passed since the battle of Guanhai City.
During these five days, the situation in Guanhai City gradually stabilized.
Because the war ended very quickly, the residents of Guanhai City hardly felt the cruelty of the war and suffered no losses.
If there were not some traces of fighting left in the city, some people might not know that Guanhai City had just experienced a war.
But because of this, the residents of Guanhai City have no resistance to Ryan.
On the contrary, they actively embraced Ryan's rule because of the Chamber of Commerce's use of civilians as human shields during the war.
As for the Business Association, I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with it!
How can a group of businessmen be compared with the Viscount!
Putting aside other aspects, Viscount Ryan lowered the price of food as soon as he took over Guanhai City. Based on this alone, they knew who to support.
So with the cooperation of the residents of Guanhai City, the city quickly returned to its original living conditions.
Although the level of prosperity has inevitably been affected, people believe that under the wise leadership of Viscount Ryan, Guanhai City will become more prosperous!
What? The nominal lord of Guanhai City is Viscount West, and Viscount Ryan is just managing it on his behalf?
Haha, only a three-year-old child would believe this. Even a child one year older would find this statement ridiculous.
Anyway, whether it is the civilians in the commercial district or the poor in the slums, they all understand that Guanhai City has a new owner. Only some nobles and businessmen are unwilling to accept this fact.
"They don't want to? Why shouldn't they want to?"
In the study of Blue Moon Castle, Ryan's angry voice echoed in the room.
“Bang!”
He slammed the document in his hand onto the table and said angrily:
"Their land had long been sold to the Merchants' Association. In order to maintain their relationship with the nobles and gain their support, the merchants did not take back their land and helped them build luxurious houses."
"But I'm not as generous as the merchants, and I don't need the support of these nobles. I only know that their land belongs to the Merchants' Association, and the Merchants' Association is now my property. I am naturally qualified to take back their land and houses!"
Seeing Ryan was angry, Locke quickly explained softly:
"Please calm down, Lord Viscount. I told them the same thing, but they refused to acknowledge the deal with the Chamber of Commerce and said they were deceived by the Chamber of Commerce."
"You are a member of the nobility and you should make decisions for them. You can't be so shameless. It must be me, a lackey of the Chamber of Commerce, who is interfering."
Ryan laughed in anger when he heard this: "Face? They occupy nearly one-third of Guanhai City's land with less than one percent of the population. How can they have such a big face!"
"I've already given them enough face and even arranged other places for them to live, but they just don't want to take it seriously!"
"By the way, didn't I sign the order for you? Why are you wasting time talking to them? Why don't you just force them to move out?"
Locke hesitated and said, "I showed them the order, but..."
"But what?" Ryan asked, frowning.
Locke gritted his teeth and said, “But they said that the land was given by the West family. You have no right to deprive them of their land. They will only obey the orders of Viscount West.”
As soon as these words came out, Ryan's face suddenly darkened, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Good! Very good! It's really good!"
Ryan's tone became heavier with each sentence: "I didn't expect them to be so loyal to the West family, but there is one thing I don't understand."
"Why didn't they show their loyalty when the Merchants' Association took away Viscount West's power? But when I took over the management of Guanhai City, they suddenly became loyal to Viscount West?"
"So their loyalties will change as power shifts, right?"
"When facing the Merchants' Association, you are submissive and want to lick the soles of the merchants' shoes, but when facing my orders, you dare to disobey them and act crazy and stupid!"
"They don't think I will take into account the respect between nobles and won't do anything to them, right?"
"How ridiculous! The sword of the Chamber of Commerce is sharp, but my sword is not bad either!"
After that, Ryan shouted loudly: "Someone, let Knight Commander Noz come to see me!"
"yes!"
After a while, Noz rushed to the study of Blue Moon Castle and saluted Ryan as a knight.
"Greetings, Lord Viscount! May I ask what instructions you have?"
Ryan did not answer Noz, but said to Locke:
"I remember that the Merchants' Association once requisitioned the nobles' magical beasts during the war, which caused considerable casualties to my men."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"So, you should know what to do, right?"
When Locke heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted and he said in a trembling voice:
"I understand, but"
"No buts!" Ryan said impatiently.
"I know you think they are nobles and you don't dare to act rashly. However, people like them fear power but not virtue. The more polite you are to them, the more they will take advantage of you."
"Only when they see blood will these good-for-nothings bend their noble knees, so just do it, and I will bear all the consequences for you!"
When Locke heard these defiant yet confident words, his eyes suddenly shone brightly.
"Yes! I know what to do!"
"That's good to know. In addition to the nobles who disobeyed the order, let's also deal with those dishonest businessmen." Ryan said, leaning back in his chair.
"They were so slow to take stock of their own industries and business channels, and some are even secretly transferring their assets and contacting other lords. They simply don't take me seriously!"
"Since they think I will forcibly plunder their property, then let them do as they wish."
"Of course, I won't wrongly accuse a good person. You must be fair and just when dealing with them. If they haven't violated the laws of the kingdom, I will let them go. Do you understand?"
Locke nodded: "Understood!"
Now that Ryan has said so, there is no way these businessmen are not guilty!
Moreover, there is no businessman who is dishonest. In addition, the laws of the kingdom target businessmen. As long as they are businessmen, there is no clean one. He is not wronging these businessmen.
Ryan saw that Locke understood what he meant and nodded with satisfaction:
"Very good, Knight Commander Noz will cooperate with your actions."
After listening to the conversation between the two, Noz understood his mission and nodded to Locke.
Seeing this, Locke quickly bowed to Noz with a very respectful attitude.
"By the way, Noz, you can bring some trainers with you when you go. They are quite experienced in raiding houses."
Ryan instructed Noz, the corners of his mouth rising unconsciously.
Noz seemed to have thought of something when he heard this, and his expression became a little unnatural, but he still obeyed the order without hesitation:
"Yes, sir. I will issue them the task."
"Well, I only give you two days. After two days, I hope to see those nobles and businessmen confess their crimes in person!" Ryan said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
"Go ahead."
When Locke and Noz left the study, Ryan sighed softly with a complicated expression.
He knew that after he issued this order, some more people would be hanged on the gallows.
I just moved my mouth and dozens of lives passed away quietly. The feeling is indescribable.
There is the pleasure of holding power, as well as the pressure and confusion of deciding the fate of others, and a bit of loneliness in between.
In his previous life, Ryan was just an ordinary office worker who couldn't even kill a chicken. But now he can kill enemies and issue execution orders without batting an eyelid.
Although this change in mentality is a good thing for Ryan, it also makes him feel a little emotional.
Of course, it's just an emotion.
“Dongdong~”
Before Ryan could think more, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Come in!"
Ryan looked up at the door, only to see Baron Williams push it open and greet him with a salute.
"Greetings, Lord Viscount."
Ryan waved his hand casually: "Okay, old man, there's no need to use this trick between us."
"That won't do. The hierarchy between superiors and subordinates is the guarantee for maintaining the rule of the system. Your Excellency, please don't underestimate it!" Williams said solemnly.
"I see. Thank you for your reminder." Ryan said thoughtfully.
Although he is still influenced by modern thinking, his way of thinking is gradually moving closer to that of ancient aristocrats.
In fact, Ryan has a difficult task. On the one hand, he needs to maintain modern thinking so as not to drift away from the players.
On the other hand, we also have to take into account the factors of the times, and the scale of this has to be determined by Ryan himself.
Williams shook his head: "This is not a reminder. You will understand it sooner or later without me saying it."
"By the way." Williams asked curiously, "I just saw Locke and Noz leave the study together. Did you assign them any tasks?"
Ryan nodded slightly: "Well, some people don't understand the situation. I'll let Noz take the Cavaliers to teach them."
Williams' eyes lit up: "Well done! You should have done this a long time ago!"
"You didn't see how arrogant they were. If you didn't know, you would think they won the war. They even criticized me and said that I didn't have the demeanor of a noble."
"Pah! Who the hell are they? They are just trash who only know how to beg for mercy from merchants. I think they should all be sunk into the sea!"
"As for those businessmen, it would be best if they were sentenced to death by falling from the sky!"
Ryan was puzzled and asked, "What is the punishment of falling from the sky? I have never heard of it."
Williams explained: "Oh, the Skyfall Punishment is a punishment unique to our Feiyu Town. It is to ride Pokémon to take the criminals to a high altitude and then throw them down."
"If he didn't die after landing, he is innocent."
Ryan's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this: "What kind of punishment is falling from the sky? Isn't this just bungee jumping? And it's ropeless!" (End of this chapter)
