Chapter 58 [Reaper Temple] (Ch 58)

As Zorn stood up.
The conference room quickly fell silent.
Many eyes were fixed on Zorn.
Mr. Zorn Korrik, the famous fighter in Oglan City, is a well-known and extraordinary celebrity in Oglan City in recent times.
An extraordinary [Fighter] who single-handedly killed the [Rat King Knight] in the sewer.
A newly-promoted noble baron.
A capitalist who owns a steam-powered pharmaceutical factory.
A pioneer of ancient treasure ruins.
He is also a big hit among Mrs. Mabel’s staff.
Ordinary people who want to enter the ancient ruins need to be repeatedly reviewed and need to follow a team of extraordinary people, for fear of causing trouble or stealing the resources inside.
And it is said that Zornkorik treated the ancient treasure ruins as his own backyard, entering and leaving freely without any problems.
However, this [Fighter] Mr. Zorn Korrick does have powerful means and strength.
At such a young age, he has already reached level 4, which is a perfect proof.
“Oglan City is now in the midst of the steam age. Many forces have carved their own stigmata in Oglan City. The [Tolask Steam Train] itself is heading for Oglan City.”
“It’s extremely difficult to stop it!”
“But there are other ways to resolve the pollution and disasters caused by the [Tolask Steam Train].”
“underground!”
Zorn said simply.
“We can guide the [Torask Steam Train] underground.”
“Since the [Torask Steam Train] follows the steam train tracks.”
“We can reroute the original steam train track underground in a short period of time.”
“Build a simple underground station underground.”
“Once we are sure that the [Torask Steam Train] has arrived at the underground station, we will blow up the entrance.”
“Anyway, the target of that [Torask Steam Train] is Oglen City. Now that it has arrived at Oglen City and has reached its destination, it is likely that it will not move again.”
Zorn’s words made Mrs. Mabel frown and think.
The idea of ​​changing the route and guiding the [Torask Steam Train] underground is indeed a bold one.
But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed feasible.
Zorn, who came from the player, knew very well that this was almost one of the most perfect ways to deal with the [Torask Steam Train], and it was also the most beneficial way for the evil wizard.
“That……”
Mrs. Mabel looked up at Zorn.
“What’s the cost of doing this?”
Zorn thought about it.
“If the [Torask Steam Train] were to stay completely stationed at the underground station, pollution would bloom in the sewers.”
“In this way, for ordinary people, the sewers will become a terrible place of death and disaster.”
“Of course, for ordinary people, they don’t go to the sewers very often.”
“But if the [Torask Steam Train] is trapped underground, there will always be various catastrophic events.”
“At that time, the extraordinary people in Ogran City will be needed to handle it.”
“But it’s better than destroying the market and steam factory in Oglan City, or even blooming directly in Oglan City and causing mass deaths.”
“Of course, the premise is that we can trap the [Torask Steam Train]. If we can’t trap it… then it will be more troublesome.”
Having said that, Zorn knew that as long as he operated it properly, he could completely trap the [Torask Steam Train].
After listening to Zorn’s explanation, Mrs. Mabel nodded slightly.
“Zorn, your proposal is very good. I will focus on reporting it to the higher-ups.”
“Also, if you have any good ideas, please come up with them as soon as possible. Once a strategy is formulated, the plan will be launched tonight.”
“We in Ogland City don’t have much time left.”
It was approaching noon.
This meeting just ended.
Zorn, who wanted to go back, was stopped by Mrs. Mabel.
“Come with me. You will sit in on the afternoon meeting and prepare a detailed plan for your proposal. If necessary, you will be asked to explain your proposal.”
“Um!”
Zorn nodded slightly.
It was a rare opportunity to be part of a high-level meeting at Oglen City Hall, even if it was just to sit in.
…………
It was not until around four o’clock in the afternoon that the ceremony ended.
The high-level meeting in Oglan City, which lasted for nearly three hours, finally ended.
As a little-known person, Zoen Korick met the top powerhouses of Oglan City at the meeting.
When he was a player, Zorn received many missions from these high-ranking experts in Ogran City.
Even when he reached a higher level and was preparing to close the game, he would come back and defeat all the former masters in Oglan City. He did this many times.
Zorn was very familiar with these high-ranking powerful people in Oglan City.
At the meeting.
Zorn explained his plan in detail.
This plan was highly feasible but not too costly, so it was naturally passed by the strong men in Oglen City Hall.
At the same time, several other plans that did not conflict with the plan proposed by Zorn were also activated.
For example, a ritual barrier was deployed in the “Steam River Rock City” south of Ogland City to block the advance of the [Tolask Steam Train].
Although the [Torask Steam Train] is an invisible existence, the power of the ritual can still fight against it to a certain extent.
Moreover, if more extraordinary people are stationed at the steam station in Steam River Rock City.
Then the [Torask Steam Train] will sense that there are a large number of extraordinary people at the station and will stop at the station.
This will not be able to stop the progress of the [Torask Steam Train].
At least we can know when the [Torask Steam Train] will arrive.
The plan to clear the steam station in Ogland was also implemented.
During this period, residents were advised to use steamships or long-distance transport carriages for long-distance travel.
Residents living near the station will also have to move out.
The railway extension plan was also approved.
Continuing north, you can reach the important Misty Mining Area in the city of Oglan.
It’s shrouded in fog though, and it’s easy to get lost in the fog.
But the steam train moving forward on the rails would not get lost in the fog.
Continue north past the city of Oglan, and you will find the mining city there, which is the source of Oglan’s heavy industrial production area.
The steam train station was completed and the freight tracks were connected.
If the [Tolask Steam Train] passes through the city of Ogland, it can directly reach the mine on the north side.
If we can keep going, it’s better to reach the mines than to stay in Ogland City.
As many plans and programs were finalized, important documents were signed one after another.
The extraordinary people in Oglan City and the workers who had been recruited began large-scale operations.
As the meeting of the top leaders of Oglan City ended.
When Zorn thought he could finally go home.
Mrs. Mabel stopped Zorn again.
“Marquis Albert wants to see you.”
Mrs. Mabel folded her breasts with one hand and held up her filter cigarette with the other.
She looked Zorn up and down with a slight smile on her lips.
“Duke Albert must have something to ask you. When you were at level 3, you showed extraordinary performance. Now you are already at level 4, and your sequence is unusually stable. Your strength must be even greater than before.”
“You must do well what Albert has given you!”
“Yes, I understand.”
Zorn nodded.
…
Inside the spacious and bright office.
When Zorn came in.
Level 8 [Shepherd of Souls] Marquis Albert Wilder.
He was facing away from Zorn, looking out the window at the city of Ogland.
And in the outline of the window, Zorn saw powerful evil creatures staring at him coldly.
Not only is there an evil spirit in the window opposite.
The area on the ceiling where black fog is surging.
The corridor at the door.
Plus in the cabinet not far away.
Several powerful mid-level evil spirits looked at Zorn with ill intentions.
The [Soul Shepherd] sequence can capture and herd many powerful soul-related evil spirits.
Even special means are needed to capture powerful evil creatures from purgatory and the abyss.
And Marquis Albert controls so many powerful evil creatures.
He is undoubtedly an extremely powerful [Soul Shepherd].
“How effective is the training in the ancient wizard’s ruins?”
An old, slightly hoarse voice slowly sounded.
“The effect is very good. I completed the 4th level promotion in it. I also learned a lot from the undead mentor many times.”
Zorn’s voice was calm and natural.
Zorn knew the character of Marquis Albert very well.
He had been scheming against those cunning evil spirits all his life.
He was nearly killed by evil spirits several times.
He didn’t even trust the evil spirits he enslaved, let alone other people.
Judging from the fact that he used the evil spirit to monitor Zorn in the town of Rift Mist before.
Regarding the confrontation between Zorn and Duke Muhuo, he obviously didn’t trust Zorn, even though Zorn won.
Until this time, Zorn completed his promotion in the ancient ruins using the fighter method.
The Marquis then paid less attention to Zorn.
Of course.
For Zorn, it was enough that Marquis Albert had no ill will towards him.
It would be even more perfect if there were some cooperation based on common interests.
“When you were at level 3, you already possessed extraordinary strength. Now that you are at level 4, your strength must be even greater than before.”
Marquis Albert then changed the subject.
“Some of the information I got recently is very interesting!”
“You can sit down and take a good look.”
As he spoke, Marquis Albert handed a folder to Zorn.
After taking it, Zorn examined it in detail.
The content here is a report about the old city, one of the three horses, the drug dealer “Alvin”, and the mafia he controls.
Reports show that the poisoned horse Alvin has been infected in the last one or two months.
Rapidly changed the industry that originally grew illegal addictive plants.
Then it was replaced by a legal and compliant plantation.
Then we completed the cooperation with Zorn’s pharmaceutical factory.
From being a drug lord and mafia, he quickly cleaned himself up and became a legal supplier of medicinal materials.
Zorn’s steam pharmaceutical factory is the key to this.
And Zorn Kerrick is undoubtedly the focus of attention.
With the review.
This document, which should have caused a huge storm, was just casually flipped through by Zorn.
During the entire process, Zorn’s expression was unusually calm, without even the slightest abnormal fluctuation.
He knew very well that these top masters in Oglan City had many subordinates and spies.
Some of them even control some gray industrial chains.
It is only a matter of time before these traceable business activities are discovered.
What’s more, the city of Oglan itself has long noticed these powerful mafias.
The other party has already investigated to this point.
There is no point in denying it any further.
After quickly reviewing it, Zorn closed the investigation document very simply.
“good!”
“I tamed the poisonous horse Alvin, and I also plan to tame the silver horse and the red horse!”
He looked at Marquis Albert, as if he was explaining a very ordinary matter.
So what if I found out?
This is very beneficial to the city of Ogland.
If you really want to count it strictly, this is definitely a great achievement.
The same goes for what Zorn said about preparing to tame the Silver Horse and the Red Horse.
Upon hearing this, Marquis Albert’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked Zorn up and down and spoke slowly.
“The power of the San Ma Mafia in the old city is not small!”
“The Silver Horse and the Red Horse are not easy to deal with. Even if you defeat them, they may not be willing to obey your orders and be loyal to you.”
Zorn knew exactly what Marquis Albert wanted to hear.
He thought for a moment before speaking.
“Of course I have some special rituals to make them obedient.”
“Once the ritual contract is signed, it is no longer up to them.”
“oh?”
As expected, Marquis Albert raised his eyebrows slightly.
“You are proficient in all kinds of bizarre rituals. Did you learn it from the Dusk Old Temple or the Secret Wasteland Sect?”
“I heard that the secret wilderness sect has appeared in the Ice Country, and there are also some traces on the mountains.”
“Could it be that you are from the Emerald Kingdom?”
Marquis Albert looked at Zorn, hoping to catch some clues.
Zorn said seriously.
“I can’t say that!”
Upon hearing this, Marquis Albert smiled.
“You can’t say this is normal. After all, you are only borrowing those secret knowledge, not owning them. Once you explain them, the knowledge and even the memory will be taken away.”
“You control the three horses, which will only benefit the city of Oglen.”
“Of course. The reason I called you here this time is secondary. The main thing is that Saint Sman’s [Harvester Temple] followed the track of the [Tolask Steam Train] and headed north.”
Zorn’s mind was slightly moved when he heard this.
“Is turmoil…coming so soon?”
Marquis Albert turned around and continued to look at the peaceful and natural city of Ogland.
“Saint Sman wants to take advantage of the turmoil of the Tolask Steam Train to launch a hunting war against us at the level of extraordinary beings!”
“The war between the extraordinary… is coming!”
“As a celebrity in Oglen City, the terminator of the rat plague, and a leader among young people.”
“You must be their target.”
“So, you have to be prepared for defense.”
