59 Eclipse Pagoda (1/2)

Town Lord seemed astonished at his request, he didn't expect that as it would be that simple. He could easily arrange rooms for 26 men in Bright Silver Inn, but he just couldn't believe that this demon would leave him that easily.

Town Lord was sceptical at his simple request but he still complied nonetheless, ”If that's all you want then I can instruct Inn manager. He can arrange accommodation for those men at most for a month.”

Ryusei looked at him wordlessly as he didn't expect that the Town Lord to agree this easily. He expected some resistance but not that he cared much about it as he was excited about his organisation. He didn't expect to get so many members without much difficulty.

He knew that he had to arrange a base for his organisation where his men could stay. He started ruminating about the type of place. First, he thought about a majestic Palace but discarded that as it would be too eye-catching.

Then a thought struck him all of sudden, he remembered Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and got inspired by it. So, he decided to build a pagoda for their base and it matched the name as well.

Eclipse Pagoda!

”It seems I have to rely on Town Lord once again. I would like to request you to build a pagoda on the outskirts of the town. Pagoda should have 9 floors with 100 rooms on each floor. But the topmost floor will only have 10 rooms.”

Town Lord went stiff slightly, even though his workers could build a pagoda but the time required to build such a massive pagoda would be lengthy and from demon's tone, it looked like he required that pagoda as soon as possible.

”Sir, I could have the pagoda built, but it would at least take a year's time to complete it” Town Lord said nervously as he looked at demon, but to his surprise Ryusei just nodded and casually said, ”Then let my men stay at that inn for a year otherwise they won't have a place to live. Remember that after I set up my base in this Town, my men will protect this town and support you so it's beneficial to you as well.”

Town Lord mulled over his words and nodded as it would indeed benefit town with extra protection. Building the pagoda simple and arranging accommodation for two dozen men wasn't anything too difficult for him.

Finally, Ryusei left satisfied and the Town Lord sighed from exhaustion as he slumped down on his chair because he always felt a formidable pressure from the demon so he was relieved to see him leave and felt mentally exhausted. That was the reason he didn't try to refuse Ryusei.

He felt that the boy was the same as that Nether Bird's Lord, he couldn't afford to offend any of them. It would be better to obey their wishes and live life peaceful instead of a worthless death.

People will ridicule as a Foolish man who came and became a Town lord, but didn't even know who to offend and died a worthless death.

So, rather than losing his position as a Town Lord to someone else, he might as well just cooperate with Ryusei and that Mysterious Organization's leader.

Ryusei went back towards the empty fields and where his men were still training and decided to check their progress secretly.

Lin Yanluo seemed to be getting used to weights as he was finally able to stand up and move forward one step a time. While the former members of the Blood Mercenary Gang were also doing this seemingly useless training as they didn't dare to refute against his instructions

They knew that if he was displeased with their performance, then it won't even take him seconds before he destroyed them so everyone was training earnestly. The weights they were using were lighter than what he gave to Yanluo.
