Chapter 96: The True Source of the Earthquake
The skill of slapping is a very technical skill, so Malone had to admit that the skill level of slapping was not enough, because he only got R110,000 worth of food, bedding and the like from Sreel Oldman outside the crystal ball.
"Master, if it were discussed by Miss Toromi or Miss Evena, the income would probably be at least two to three times more than it is now."
Therefore, after Malone took the initiative to inform the old housekeeper of the cause and effect of Sreel Oldman's visit and the profit he received, the old housekeeper commented like this.
"Okay OK, I know I'm not good at negotiating, and next time I will remember to call Evena or Torome."
Because he could not say that he had made a fortune in a quiet voice, Ma Long could only speak in a slightly shameless tone and self-deprecating manner.
"Yes, this is the most correct choice."
Unfortunately, the old housekeeper had a very high laugh, so he nodded at Ma Long very seriously.
"Okay, please prepare your car by the old butler. After all, Sreel Oldman has agreed to go to the Earth Temple to worship God, and just took the way back the food and bedding he promised!"
Since the old housekeeper didn't laugh, Ma Long was too lazy to continue telling a cold joke. He finally issued an order as his master.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."
The old housekeeper was naturally decisive and arranged several freight cars and freight carriages to appear outside the Fanhua Garden as fast as possible.
At this time, Toromi had also sent someone to inform him that all young and strong employees who were suitable for recruiting out for rescue and disaster relief were all gathered.
"You go back first and let Mr. Carnegie be the leader, and start searching for every ruin in the direction of the city with Hope Primary School as the starting point."
Because he had to go to the Temple of Earth, Ma Long could only issue such a temporary order to the person who came to report the news.
In order to hurry, Ma Long rushed to the Temple of Earth as fast as possible. Then he admired the sculpture of the Goddess of Earth in the main hall of the Temple of Earth for about twenty minutes.
Afterwards, Malone hurried out of the Temple of Earth and had a cordial conversation with Sreel Alderman, the chief eternal priest who had been waiting at the entrance of the Temple of Earth, in a friendly and warm atmosphere.
In this cordial conversation, Malone first thanked Chief Pastor Sreel Oldman for his private identity to donate the relief supplies worth tens of thousands of rands to the earthquake victims.
Chief Pastor Sreel Oldman expressed his sincere praise for Malone's noble altruistic sentiment during disaster relief, and expressed his ashamed of the failure of the Earth Temple to predict the earthquake, although the sudden source of this earthquake may actually come from some places where the Earth Temple cannot predict.
After listening carefully to the words of Chief Pastor Sreel Oldman, Malone first expressed a little modesty for his behavior, and then expressed regret for Chief Pastor Sreel Oldman about the earthquake predicting the Earth Temple. He also encouraged Sreel Oldman to try to find out the reason for the predicting the power of the power to avoid the same tragedy happening again...
In this way, Malone easily became a political actor and completed the deal between him and Sreel Oldman.
What's more, everyone has eyes, and the vehicles filled with food, bedding, tents and other things that came with Ma Long have fully proved Ma Long's confidence in keeping his word.
But just as Ma Long comforted the injured, a burst of rapid gunfire suddenly came from the direction of the city, and then another second round...
How could gunfire come? Hasn’t Baisha City actually abolished slavery and become a free city without slaves?
Listening to the crackling sound of gunfire, Ma Long couldn't figure out what was going on. Fortunately, Sheriff Bernard and the Old Paladin finally arrived in time and relieved Ma Long's doubts.
"Mayor Kakib has signed an emergency temporary order and mobilized the National Police Force to participate in disaster relief. The gunfire just now should be a gunfight between the National Police Force and the robbers who took advantage of the situation."
Regarding Malone's doubts, Adela's father, Dris Trem, who has always maintained the identity of Carnegie's old paladin, made such an explanation.
"Has the National Police Team been engaged in disaster relief?" Ma Long looked around and then showed a slightly puzzled expression: "Why didn't I see any?"
"Of course you can't see any of them. Because those guys who are better at causing trouble than saving people have been bombarded by me!"
Sheriff Bernard's answer made Malone complain a little.
However, Sheriff Bernard's answer at least allowed Malone to wonder about the gunfight that had just happened in the city, so he shrugged and said after understanding, "Fortunately, they proved that they were not useless."
This sentence was not a complaint, but caused the injured people around Ma Long to burst into a kind laugh. Amid the laughter, their emotions became more and more relaxed.
Malone took this opportunity and ran to the side with Sheriff Bernard and the old paladin, and began the intelligence exchange with his voice like an underground worker.
"Boy. The situation is not optimistic! The sky is about to give it to you. It is unlikely that you can clean up the entire slum before dark. Everything may happen after the nightfall! Those guys who are full of resentment because of losing their loved ones and losing clothes and food to resist the cold, God knows if they will do anything extreme under the nightfall. The trucks of food and bedding you brought can relieve their emotions slightly... You also heard the gunshots in the city just now."
Unlike Sheriff Bernard, who was having a private conversation with Malone in front of everyone, his brows frowned obviously.
"Yes, I also discovered that this damn earthquake was really not the time! This winter..." Malone nodded at Sheriff Bernard. Then she sighed and continued: "It seems that we can only re-activate the method of the night of the riot, gather the people who are willing to accept our help, and then form a team for them according to the rules of the army, and survive tonight before talking about it..."
"Well, actually, I think so too! We protect them if we are willing to obey the arrangements. If we are unwilling to obey the arrangements, we will find ways to do it ourselves. If we dare to make trouble, let them know what pain and death are. We should see if they can survive tonight!"
It is obvious that the old paladin held the same opinion as Malone, after all, the experience of the riot night in Baisha City is obvious to all.
"By the way, where did you get the food, bedding, etc. that you brought?"
Sheriff Bernard, who did not object to Malone's opinion, after confirming the next basic disaster relief program, pointed to the several cars full of supplies standing next to the three of them and asked curiously.
If Sheriff Bernard remembers correctly, neither Fanhua Garden nor Ma Long's companies had hoarded so many daily necessities.
"It was brought from the Temple of Earth."
Ma Long didn't hide it.
"I got it from the Temple of Earth? Are we not familiar with the Temple of Earth? I seem to remember the chief eternal pastor of the Temple of Earth, who has always been very low-key in his work."
Sheriff Bernard's expression became even more confused. He had no idea what special friendship Malone had with the Earth Temple, nor did he think that the chief eternal migrant priest who was very low-key in the Earth Temple would suddenly do such a high-profile thing.
"Does the Earth Temple ask Ma Long for your help to eliminate the adverse effects of this major earthquake on them?"
The old paladin thought a little deeper.
"In fact, it is not the Temple of Earth that wants to eliminate the adverse effects of the earthquake, but the Chief Eternal Mid Priest, who usually does a very low-key job. This is actually the case..."
Malone denied the old paladin's speculation, and then he had to wait for Sheriff Bernard to ask questions with the old paladin. Then he told the whole story.
The only thing that was hidden by Ma Long using the Spring and Autumn style was the small crystal ball containing a bright silver equilateral triangle.
"Hey, Ma Long, you guy, are so nice! That guy clearly wants to push things on your head first. After failing, you have to lower your posture and beg for help. You should have taken the opportunity to plunder him for a big bleeding, but in the end you will be able to fight you with such a thousand pieces of rand supplies... You guy, you guy, are still the emerging tycoon with a property of three million rands as mentioned in the newspaper. Look at your promising prospects!"
Because the most critical content was hidden, after Malone made the matter come out, Sheriff Bernard couldn't help but scold Malone after hearing this.
"Actually, this is good. At least it won't force the chief eternal pastor to the point of being too impatient. After this matter is over, there is no way to deal with him slowly. Just because he comes to blackmail you, you must be punished enough!"
Because Adella is already Malone's de facto wife, Dris Trem, whose pseudonym Carnegie Paladin, looked at this matter with obvious perspective, putting himself in his shoes and considering Marlon.
"That...what should I forgive others if I have to?"
The words of Sheriff Bernard and the Old Paladin made Malone, who felt that he had taken a lot of advantage, feel a little embarrassed to plot against the poor Chief Eternal Pastor.
"Ghost! When that guy came to you with the God-Transporting Scroll with your name written on it, why didn't he think he should let you go, a brat?!"
Sheriff Bernard showed a very iron-clad expression and had the urge to implement the law in public.
"Dede, when I said nothing! Uncle Bernard, your will. is my command."
Malone is now a handsome man of 1.8 meters tall. How could he let this embarrassing thing happen to be implemented in public? So... Poor Chief Pastor Sreel Oldman, please beg for your own blessing.
"Hmph, this is almost the same! Don't worry about this matter. After the disaster relief is done, it depends on your uncle's method!"
Because Malone was very embarrassed and lost, she felt very proud of her face, Sheriff Bernard hummed twice and took the matter of dealing with Sreel Oldman on him.
"Ma Long, is the matter on that scroll of the God-Translation Scroll true?"
Since the matter had been taken over by Sheriff Bernard, the old paladin turned his attention to the scroll of the God-Transporting Arts. Speaking of which, this big earthquake was too strange, forcing the old paladin to think about whether the earthquake was really related to the answer written by an unknown evil god on the scroll of the God-Transporting Arts.
"How could it be true!"
Ma Long answered this sentence unhappily.
But after answering this answer, Ma Long's heart was really unconsciously moved. Because he had thought that even if the cause of the earthquake was related to him, it was probably because the gods who threw him from the earth's world to Baisha City, which affected the natural flow of energy on the earth.
But now when asked this question again, Ma Long subconsciously began to recall the things that happened to him in the past two days-
First, the goddess of nature came to the dream, then the golden apple tree was ripened with two golden apples, and then a treasure chest buried underground for hundreds of years was provided, allowing a mysterious mechanical storage object from Leonardo, the hand of God, to be unearthed.
Then, Hans von Kruger, who was supposed to be hiding in Helpha to serve the prince, mixed in among a group of druids who came to worship the miracle, sent another secret mechanical storage object of Leonardo, the hand of God, and made a request to take the whole family of Phoenix, the black-bellied and capable technology man, away from Helpha.
Finally, with the help of two mysterious mechanical storage objects of Leonardo, the two pieces of the God's Hand Leonardo entered the semi-plane that should belong to Leonardo, the God's Hand, and witnessed the breathtaking metal tower in the semi-plane.
By the way, before the earthquake, I suddenly dreamed of the World of Warcraft map.
Could it be... the unknown evil god who answered Slair Oldman's question actually did not tease the poor unlucky Slair Oldman, but told the truth very kindly?!
No, no, this is unscientific...
According to the geographical knowledge obtained by my young master in the Earth world, earthquakes are a natural phenomenon that causes vibrations during the rapid release of energy in the earth's crust and generates seismic waves during the period, so how can this matter be related to me?
That evil god must have fooled Sreel Oldman!
Because of a move in my heart, Malone, who felt that he might have something to do with yesterday's earthquake, rejected his bohemian style Goldbach's random thoughts in the shortest time.
In order to stop his random thoughts, Malone quickly ended the secret conversation with Sheriff Bernard and the old paladin, and then devoted himself to the intense disaster relief work.
While Ma Long was burying his head to save people, the sky gradually darkened. The goddess of night spread her black wings to cover the devastated Baisha City.
Just when Malone ordered the bonfire to be lit, a light also lit up in a small cove far from the slum.
The light emitting this faint light illuminated a vague small boat and two men in black wearing black cloaks standing by the boat.
"Go on the boat, Mr. Stein, you have proved your great value to the Helfar Empire with this earthquake! So, your wife and children will soon meet you in Helfar, and I swear by the Helfar Gods and the Styx!
