    Ai Wen led the pedestrians to his residence.  After simply letting them introduce each other, he asked Emma to wait here with them and get acquainted with everyone. He quickly drew up a list of names on the prepared parchment and stamped it on the nameplate.  After receiving the official seal, Empress Cai took the two mages again and rushed towards the inner city.  The security along the way was still in a mess, but when I saw the three of them were all dressed in the official mage robes of Bone Prison City, the heroes who met along the way who were robbing the rich and giving to the poor turned their heads and pretended not to see them.  Who takes the initiative to cause trouble.  Not long after, Ivan and his party arrived at the inner city. Unexpectedly, the people guarding the gate of the inner city had been changed several times, and now they were replaced by the scavenger that Ivan saw when he first came here.  Although it is not clear why such a scavenger was able to retain his official position during this great purge, at least they are considered acquaintances. Meeting him here is better than meeting anyone else.  These are turbulent times.  Those who have survived the Great Purge to this day either have little backers or have untrustworthy backers.  When they meet each other, of course they need to keep in touch with each other, and this is also one of the purposes of Aiwen coming here.  Accompanying the scavenger, they complimented each other's abilities sincerely, chatted about their former revolutionary friendship for a while, and promised a banquet that God knows when. In the end, Ai Wenfang had a look on his face.  With a happy expression, he entered the inner city sweating profusely.  Although it was delayed for a short period of time, it was not without its benefits. At least Ivan learned one thing from the scavenger leader. The power division meeting held by the forces in the inner city seemed to be coming to an end.  Although this scavenger was limited to status issues and did not know which force had obtained which important position in Bone Cage City, there was one thing he knew very well, and that was that the three major assistants of the Death Cave "soon after the meeting began."  They left the meeting, and when they left, they didn't seem to ask for any benefits from the meeting.  It seems that staying the same is their greatest wish.  But is this possible?  Ivan is skeptical about this. After paying such a high price, there is no reason not to demand some privileges for their nominal subjects, such as prohibiting the killing of undead at will, digging up special items, etc. This is the most basic requirement for a single brain, right?  , If they can't even do this, how can they command the undead under them?  Unless the undead party¡¯s brain was seriously injured in the battle with the former city lord, there is no reason why they would not take the opportunity to ask for some benefits at the meeting.  But if he was really seriously injured, given the shamelessness of the powerful leaders who participated in the meeting, they would probably have turned against him and taken action. How could they easily retreat?  For this matter that is closely related to his vital interests, Ivan is puzzled. Although the rumored result seems to be beneficial to him, it is not credible because it is too beneficial.  Thinking about the last time he was let go in the Death Cave, Alvin thought about it all the way to the end, but he could only temporarily attribute it all to the fact that the brains of the undead are sometimes not working properly, so they often do inexplicable things.  .  The next journey.  Ivan didn't meet anyone or anything that took up their time. I couldn't say whether it was luck or misfortune.  After arriving at the Mage Tower.  Ivan found that the security force deployed here was at least half lower than the last time Ivan came. It seems that as the scavenger demon leader said, the main content of the meeting has ended, and the rest is just some insignificant details.  But I don¡¯t know what kind of rights Maize obtained in the meeting.  After reporting to the security personnel guarding the stairs, Ivan went all the way up and came to Maize easily.  Then he anxiously handed over the list of troop members he had drawn up.  With such a lot of inside information, the experienced Maize could naturally see the problem at a glance, but he did not show a disappointed expression to Ivan. Instead, he had a smile on his face, just like what Ivan had done  Everything he did was in line with his wishes.  After simply reading the parchment, Maize put the parchment on the table, then picked up a cup of herbal tea and took a sip and said, "I can see that you work very hard in this position.  In a few days, you have recruited a complete army." "But after all, you have just been exposed to such a position, so many things are not written in detail. Although this is inevitable, you have to do it.  You know, now is the time to clean up the internal bugs. Your army can be regarded as a force affiliated with Bone Prison City. If you put a bunch of people with unclear information in it, it will attract a lot of attention. "  Ai Wen was made to feel happy and sad by Ma Ze's call. In the end, he was sweating profusely and could only maintain a smile on his face. "Well, teacher, the people I recommend on this list are all rare talents."  , if because of some "unnecessary"It would be a pity to give up without any reason. I wonder if there is any way to teach me?  "Well, strictly following the rules is the basis for a city to develop stably. If you can't provide more detailed information, then you have to at least give some reasons. If these reasons can convince me, it's not that I can't."  Let me help you clear things up.  "Maize said with a smile in his eyes. Making things difficult for his apprentice seems to be a rare leisure for him. "Give some reasons," Ivan frowned and murmured to himself. What reasons can he have?  Is this so he can get money or train them as his direct subordinates? Although Maize should have guessed a bit about the former, he would definitely be criticized as a loser with no ambitions, while the latter is true.  The idea was different from the simple and fast way of doing things in the devil. When he said it, he was still scolded as whimsical. So what kind of reason did Aiwen think about for a long time? Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.  Although this guy is Master Xi and has a high position, he is a newcomer after all. He has no foundation, but he wants to make friends with the ruling class of this place quickly. His daily expenses must be far greater than his income. Even if he has some savings in the past, he can support himself like this.  Of course, as allies, Maize may also borrow money from Joanna, but Joanna's thoughts are unpredictable and her behavior is even more crazy. As an individual, she would not consider her request for assistance with serious consequences, let alone  He said that he is a cautious person like Maize, so he should be able to think of a way in this regard. After thinking for a long time, Ai Wenfang hesitated and said, "Teacher, you also know that I seem to be a clumsy person, so their advantages are.  I can't explain it, but if they help me, I think I owe you 10,000 gold coins and tuition fees, which will be paid off soon!  "Pfft." There was a sound. Maize sprayed out the medicinal tea in one gulp, then raised his head and said with a very strange expression, "What did you say? You owe me ten thousand gold coins and tuition?" "Yes,  Ten thousand gold coins! Since I owed such a huge amount of tuition to the teacher, I have been thinking about how to pay off this debt all day long, and my heart is beating secretly.  Why haven't I seen him hold my hand and call me a disciple? Is my guess wrong? This old guy is not financially nervous at all.  Can you take it out in a short time?" Maize closed his eyes to hide the shock in his heart. He was too lazy to pay attention to Ai Wen's nonsense words about his loyalty, and slowly leaned back on the chair, seemingly talking to himself.  road.  "Of course, as long as the teacher can support me to the maximum extent, I can raise this fund in the shortest time." Ivan responded quickly, but the meaning of his words was obviously asking for more rights.  .  Even though he could collect 10,000 gold coins by selling off all his valuables, magic items, etc., Ivan obviously felt that he could not afford to bleed. If the loss was truly unavoidable, then no matter what the cause was,  No matter what, you must be compensated accordingly.     ,So.  What exactly do you want me to support you for?  "After closing his eyes for a long time, Maize's mood finally calmed down. He leaned back on the chair, opened his eyes slightly, and said with a half-smile. "If possible, teacher, in addition to helping to recruit these people, can you also  Allow the garrison troops under my name to retain the head tax to 20% per month?  Seeing Maize's expression change, Alvin hurriedly said, "If it doesn't work, then 15%, 15%, or even 10% will do!"  " "No, just 20%.  It's the same as your original request, but to meet this requirement, in addition to the ten thousand gold coins, you have to give me another thousand gold coins in interest every month. What do you think?  "It seems that he doesn't feel that he is blackmailing his apprentice. Maize's expression is as leisurely as if the thousand gold coins in his mouth are just a few cents in the hands of a small vendor. "Uh" OK!" I didn't expect Maize to be so ruthless in raising prices.  , Ai Wen quickly calculated the benefits of this transaction in his mind, and finally nodded slowly. The initial investment of 10,000 gold coins was obviously a loss, but being able to exchange it for Maize's support was even greater for him.  It is enough to pay enough attention to it. If you have money but no life to spend it, this is the saddest thing in this world.  "In that case. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!" Ai Wen said respectfully.  "Go on, maybe you should visit Miss Joanna before you leave. With her help, your position should be more secure." Probably because of the concern about the interest of one thousand gold coins that need to be paid every month, Maize rarely  gave some tips to Alvin.  "Ah, teacher, I understand!" Joanna?  Alvin nodded suspiciously.  ,
