Johnson was not stupid and had guessed Downton's intention to kill and silence him, but he still looked at the new owner for final confirmation.
"What are you thinking about?" Downton asked, "Remember to make sure our distinguished guests don't suffer too much."
"Yes Master!"
Johnson grabbed Campana's head and wrenched it off.
"Downton, I was wrong, I shouldn't have targeted you..."
Campana died with his eyes closed. If he had known that such a day would come, he should not have caused trouble to Downton in the first place. It was a pity that there was no regret medicine in the world for him to take.
Blood spurted out and spread all over Johnson.
"Does it have to be so bloody?"
Downton took the jug from Homer, drank a few sips to replenish his strength, and then asked the troops to set off. Because there were more slaves, the speed of the journey was slower.
"Can you go home?" Celes was worried, "Will you be arrested as a deserter?"
"No!" Downton comforted. The cunning Roquel had been caught. It was estimated that Rukia was also in trouble. Not to mention that he would not cause trouble for him. Even if he did, he could just run away with an excuse.
Shirk responsibility.
"Whether he can return to Morning Mist Town is a question." Homer said disdainfully, "Besides, Downton has the heads of Bugbear leader, Wild Boar Davis, Lone Wolf Romario, and The Rock.
The total bounty is more than Tyson. In the situation where the whole army is defeated, Downton is the only shining point, and the commander has no reason to trouble him."
Because he was worried about the ogres causing trouble, Downton only gave them one meal a day, and they could only eat half full. At the same time, he forced them to rush on the road non-stop, squeezing their physical strength.
Some ogres couldn't stand this kind of treatment and wanted to escape and even kill Downton. However, in the end, Quasimodo wrenched his head off, stabbed his body with a wooden stake, and left him standing on both sides of the street.
This is the simplest and most direct form of deterrence, allowing bandits on the border to understand that there are some people they cannot afford to offend in their lifetime.
After more than a week away from Dagger Mine, Downton returns.
The attitude of the miners was as respectful as ever. Especially after seeing the more than twenty ogre captives tied behind him, they were even more impressed.
"The chief engineer has returned in triumph again!"
The big foremen got together and insisted on dragging Downton out for a drink to celebrate his safe return and get closer to each other, but he refused them all.
Elaine will officially be on vacation next weekend, and Downton can't wait to see her, but he has to report the situation to Dofink first, which is also a sign of respect.
"I heard that all the bandit suppression coalition forces were wiped out. What happened?" Dofink met Downton in the study, squeezing his brows and looking tired.
"The news spread so fast? But I'm not sure." Downton was stunned, and then briefly explained what happened. Of course, he would not talk about things like the magic lake beads obtained from the fish-men tribe.
"A few cavalrymen escaped back. They said that the bandits have united and are preparing to make a big move. I don't know if they are shirking responsibility or if it is true." Dofink is also worried. If there is a fight, it will be an important source of money.
Mines are bound to be affected.
"It should be true. I captured Johnson. You can go and interrogate him."
The maid carried the plate and handed the black tea, and Downton took it and said thank you.
As Downton's status continues to rise, the maids' attitude towards him becomes better and better.
"Well done, these four heads are enough to guarantee you the position of mayor." Dofink finally had a smile on his face, "I really saw the right person."
"I would also like to thank you for your cultivation and the opportunity." Downton stood up. After all, he had been a postman for three years. He knew how to deal with this situation.
"Very good!" No one likes an arrogant guy. Dofink was very satisfied with Downton's humble attitude, but it was a pity that he did not have a daughter, otherwise he would definitely be a good candidate to be his son-in-law.
"I want to take a few days off!"
Downton said what he had planned for a long time.
"Well, yes, when you come back, I believe I should call you Mayor Downton." Dofink teased. He had already investigated Downton and knew that he had a genius sister who had great abilities in divine arts.
With outstanding talent, he is already a full-time priest of the Holy See of Light at a young age.
"What an honor!" Downton suppressed his excitement.
"I heard that Elaine is currently studying at St. George's Academy of Magic in the Royal Capital. It is the best school in the country. Send my regards to her."
Dofink stood up and sent Downton away personally.
"Um!"
As soon as Downton walked out of the villa door, a figure rushed out from the side and hugged his waist.
"What are you doing?" Downton grabbed Nina's hand, and her breasts pressed against her back, feeling a soft touch.
"Are you so heartless that you forgot about me so quickly?" Nina licked Downton's earlobe, giggled, and teased him.
The servants and some passing foremen pointed in this direction, with envy that could not be concealed on their faces. Nina was very famous in the mines, and many men were courting her, but it was a pity that they didn't even look at her.
"Sorry, I have something else to do!"
Downton used brute force to pull Nina away. If he hadn't gone to see Dofink and couldn't bring the demon servant with him, Nina wouldn't have even thought of getting close.
"Hey, wait!"
Whisper wanted to chase her again, but Quasimodo, who arrived just in time, blocked her way.
Downton left without looking back.
"You are so domineering, you don't even show mercy to Goddess Nina who comes to your door!"
"Come on, Nina is beautiful, but she's just a high-end socialite. With her current status as a supervisor, how can I look down on her?"
"Yes, the women the chief engineer will sleep with in the future must be the ladies and aristocratic ladies from the royal capital's upper class!"
The miners were whispering and staring at Downton's back with infinite emotion. You must know that a few months ago he was a worthless commoner, but now he has great power and a full pocket.
"Master, you are finally back!"
Abagon, who was handling business, heard the news of Downton's return and immediately ran back. Although he was sweating profusely, he was not willing at all.
Seeing Downton, the newly appointed goblin butler knelt on the ground and kissed his master's boots. Of course, he didn't forget the little Loli either.
"Little princess, you are still so beautiful and cute!"
"How much money have you made recently?" Hutao sat on the chair, her eyes had turned into $ signs. In her opinion, the slave's money is the master's money. So she should pay attention to her pocket in a timely manner.
"The income in the past two weeks has been 800 gold coins." Abagong took out a book filled with dense handwriting and reported quickly, "Although it is small, I have mastered 50% of the logistics supply share. Every month
Anyone can get this amount!”
"Why only 50%? Won't it be more if you take it all?" Hu Tao was puzzled, "Is there anyone unconvinced? Come on, I'll blow him up!"
"Wait, Master!" Abagon quickly explained, "The other share is given to the nephew of the master. If we swallow it all, we will be in trouble."
"Well done." Downton didn't care about the small money. He took out a million gold tickets and handed it to Abagon. "This is the money to buy the mayor's position as a favor. If Dofink wants it, you can give it to him."
he."
All the money was obtained from the dead ghost Doshaf. Downton didn't feel bad spending it at all, if it weren't for the small number of golden tickets. He would have wanted to keep more, anyway, Abagong signed a death contract. He fled to the ends of the world, and he
You can find him.
"Master, are you leaving the mine?" Abagon was very smart and guessed Downton's itinerary from between the lines of his words, "Will you take me with you?"
"Reason!" After Abagong showed his talent in business, Downton respected him.
"The layout of the mine is too small. I want to go to the big city, see the big world, and make more money for you and the little princess!"
Abagon was very humble and lowered his head to kiss Downton's boots again.
"Did you know? In the entire human world, there has never been a goblin on the streets. They will always only live on the border, in the wasteland, and in the wilderness. If you enter human society, you will be killed!" Downton was not trying to scare Abba.
Gong, a border commoner like him would be laughed at as a country bumpkin when he went to the royal capital, let alone a dirty and despicable goblin.
"I know, that's why I want to go even more." Abagon straightened his back, "I believe the master can protect me, because your legion is invincible to the Western Continent!"
"Stop flattering and tell the truth!" Downton didn't believe these excuses.
Abagon was silent, but after five minutes, he decided to speak, "I want to change mankind's understanding of goblins. Our Abagon family should shoulder the important task of revitalizing the goblin country!"
"Wow, I suddenly feel that you are so great!"
Hutao blinked, not expecting that the goblin slave who had been beaten like a maggot before actually still had such ideals.
"I'll wait and see!"
Downton wanted to see how far Abagon could go.
"Thank you, Master!"
Abagon returned to his humble attitude again and made a suggestion, "Master, you should buy a few maids to take care of your daily life. Even if you don't need them, Little Princess Walnut and Miss Celes still need them. Only in this way can they be worthy."
It deserves your status!"
"Let's talk about this later."
After settling the daily affairs, Downton took the two girls and teleported back to the dungeon.
"Jackson, where are you?"
Hu Tao shouted as soon as he jumped out of the teleportation array in the Duke's Mansion, as if he had returned to his own home.
"Master, what a great discovery, I found the vault!" Not long after, Jackson, who had recovered from his injuries, hurried over and brought some exciting good news.
"Oh, have you been in there?" Hu Tao was overjoyed, "Take us there quickly!"
"No, there was a monster guarding him. He was very difficult to deal with. I was almost beaten to death." Jackson complained, showing how dedicated he was to his duties.
"How is the Devil's Hunting Ground? What's happening over there at the Mana Well?" Downton was not excited, but asked a series of questions, "Is there any big event happening in the dungeon?"
"Sixteen demons came through the rift in the plane. As Master Homer expected, they all got trapped in the maze magic circle. The magic well is very dull." Jackson reported one by one, "The Skeleton Mage came to the Duke's Mansion once.
, but I never dared to step in. Apparently the owner here is in awe of him." (To be continued...)
