Chapter 698 Two hundred seventy-five. Cheers surrounded him
The city lord of Nwa Ebili did not know where the girl's confidence came from, but without them, his freedom was restricted by the minions of the nobles.
"Do you have a friend or foe to recommend? Viscount Khamis." Gullian asked.
"Alvarez, the richest businessman in the area." Viscount Hamis didn't want to let others share the pie, but he said no. "I have a good relationship with me."
"That stingy..." City Lord Enwa Ebili snorted, disliking the person Viscount Khamis mentioned. "I don't think he will agree, and he will take the initiative to take out the supplies."
"I will try to convince him, if not..." Viscount Khamis looked at Lu Li and Anna.
Viscount Khamis left the mansion to contact his friends. The city lord went to the city lord's mansion, gathered guards before more nobles reacted, and sent a trusted friend to follow Lu Li to pass the news.
During the period, Lu Li returned to the hotel. People gathered in the living room and talked about what to do next - they didn't even have a place to live.
Lu Li told them that they would migrate to Cape Storm, and it was hard for people to disagree.
They have a kind of blind trust in Lu Li, and at least Storm Corner is not so easy to starve to death compared to Rotary City.
Lu Li crushed a stone badge and called for the merchant to come.
"How many people are there in Rotary City?" Lu Li asked the city lord's cronies.
"...There are people leaving all the time, and now it's less than 20,000."
So Lu Li bought a hundred boxes of canned pork from the merchant, now. The merchant agreed, asking for an empty warehouse with no one around.
The city lord's cronies arranged to assign a vacant warehouse in the west of the city to Lu Li.
A merchant appeared half an hour later and told Lu Li that the goods were delivered. The guards guarding outside the warehouse also quickly ran over and said that the warehouse was full of wooden boxes.
No one knows how the merchant got in a hundred boxes of cans.
In addition to the canned food, the merchant also updated the evil spirit broadcast for Lu Li. In addition to the original silent time, the shadow of stealing fire, the visible sound, the newly added whispers of the suffering people approaching, and the sizzling noise that evil spirits will make when approaching.
"Evil spirits around will warn you, but you can't tell the difference," said the businessman.
Lu Li watched the evil spirit broadcast and remained silent.
At this time, Anna curiously took the evil spirit broadcast, which was still in the shape of a square box the size of a fist: "Will the evil spirits meet?"
The evil spirit broadcast was silent.
"No," replied the merchant.
The transaction is over, and the merchant leaves the hotel. Anna returned the evil spirit broadcast to Lu Li. Lu Li asked the city lord's cronies to send more people to guard the warehouse, and the young and middle-aged people who were rescued by the village surrounded the city lord's mansion.
Viscount Hamis is back, along with Alvarez, a wealthy businessman who is moved by it - a bloated man with a wig and a wig with his clothes studded with luxurious gold threads.
There was a trace of doubt in his respect for Lu Li and Anna. He believed what Viscount Khamis said, because Viscount Khamis was the noblest who opposed migration the most. But he suspects that the so-called "power" is just some kind of magic trick.
Ana lifted Alvarez at random and let him hover in the air to dispel his suspicions.
"I only have a little more food than Viscount Chamis, but I have a lot of money," Alvarez said, puffing out his belly when it came to money.
Alvarez and Viscount Chamis "donated" food and a hundred boxes of canned food, barely enough for people to survive the journey.
Anna asked them to continue to win over the rich and aristocratic. Not only for food, but they will face less resistance when dawn leaves.
"Early morning?"
The city owner of Nwa Ebili was stunned. He thought that he would prepare for a day and migrate again the next morning.
"We don't have that much time," Anna said.
"Okay...but the plan needs to be changed." The Lord of Nwaebili likes this kind of vigorous and resolute fashion.
He gathered all the guards and the personal guards of Viscount Alvarez and Chamis, and ordered them to go and inform the inhabitants.
Hundreds of soldiers scattered, holding torches, knocking on the door from house to house at night.
The residents opened the door shyly, and the cold night and the bright fire poured into the house. They were told by the guards to migrate to Storm Cape tomorrow morning, where there are large houses and enough food, and at the same time, they can pick up a can of pork at the Nancheng Gate.
So unlike the usual quiet nights, the revolving city tonight is extraordinarily lively.
In order to make an impression in front of Lu Lianna, Alvarez spent money to buy all the food that could be bought in the rotating city, and hired the only two exorcists in the rotating city.
But they are not professional exorcists, just ordinary people with some means of exorcism.
Until late at night, Viscount Alvarez and Chamis had attracted some nobles, but only five were willing to donate all the food, and the rest were only willing to follow and leave or help them with small favors that would not cost them anything.
There are also some nobles who are reluctant to leave. The bad-tempered Alvarez scolded them as a group of conservative outdated species, so let's be buried with the city.
Surprisingly, these aristocratic and rich people who had participated in the overhead control of the city lord of Enwa Ebili had a harmonious relationship with him, and even became respected-unlike them, donating food and money would not make them have nothing.
But the most precious thing about Nwa Ebili is his status as the city owner. He is nothing after leaving the Rotary City.
"If all my people are dead, what's the use of a title of lord?" said the lord of Nwaebili.
Lu Li and others gathered in the city master's mansion, waiting for the dawn.
Five o'clock, forty minutes before dawn.
The streets became lively. Once again, the guards went to inform the residents.
130 miles away, an adult man may be able to barely cover it, but it is difficult for women, old people and children to do so. The earlier they set off, the more likely they would reach Stormwind before dark.
When Lu Li and the others came to the city gate, it was crowded with people who brought their families along, while wooden boxes full of canned food and food donated by nobles and rich people were piled up beside the city gate.
City Lord Enwa Ebili shouted a few words, and then introduced Lu Li to the people, saying that he was the promoter of the migration plan.
People's cries of gratitude made the Rotary City boil, Lu Li looked at Anna: "But this is your plan."
"I'm a ghost, it's useless to get fame, and you're different." Anna blinked, her white and transparent hand under her sleeve robe held Lu Li's.
The more and more people gather on the street. At dawn, a group of cavalry galloped out of Rotary City, carrying a letter from the city lord of Enwa Ebili, and they wanted to take the lead in rushing to Cape Storm.
The day is brighter and the migration starts when torches are no longer needed.
The people first received a ration, and then took the cans handed over by the guards, with sawdust on the surface, and happily walked out of the revolving city. The people in the back stood on tiptoes and watched the people in front receive them.
A hundred boxes of canned food are piled up into a hill, so people don’t have to worry about not getting them.
