Chapter 225 Choice

"Sir, do you want a drink of water? Google search reading" Fortress, Xiao Hou took a bottle of water and walked to Lin Kun's side.

"No need." Lin Kun shook his head and looked up. The teenage boy in front of him was sweating profusely and his thin vest was in tatters.

Watching Xiao Hou drinking water, he showed a pure smile. That smile seemed to have healing energy, and Lin Kun also smiled slightly.

He also has a son who, if alive, would be about the same age as Xiao Hou.

"Son..." Lin Kun muttered something as he thought of something, and some memories appeared in his eyes.

His son is also the kind of obedient child who works hard and gets good grades. At this age, he should have already started to shine in the beast control academy.

If there hadn't been that turmoil and those hateful people...

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" While he was thinking about it, Xiao Hou's voice sounded from the side. Looking at Lin Kun, he seemed a little puzzled, "You don't seem to be very happy."

"No, I'm happy." Lin Kun replied, shaking his head, but a hint of bitterness appeared in the corner of his mouth. He looked at the fortress in front of him, paused for a while, and then spoke slowly.

"In two days, the fortress will be repaired."

"Yes, after the fortress is repaired, the higher ups will pay us wages. When the time comes, I want to buy something for my mother..."

Xiao Hou was very happy and was about to talk about some future ideas, but Lin Kun interrupted him and suddenly said: "When the fortress is repaired, you can come back to Nange City with me."

"Ah? Going to Nange City?" Hearing this, Xiao Hou was a little surprised, stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Why are you going to Nange City?"

"Go to Nange City and I will help you study."

Lin Kun spoke, staring at Xiao Hou, his tone seemed a little serious, "I will send you to the best academy in Nange City to learn beast control and become a beast master. You have the talent to control beasts, although you are only C-level." , but there is also the opportunity to embark on the path of a strong beast master."

"Being a hard worker moving bricks will lead to no future in your life."

"Do I also have a chance to control beasts?" These words made Xiao Hou slightly excited.

Obviously, for such a young man, he had never thought about such an expensive profession as a beast master.

Learning to control beasts also requires money. The tuition fee for the best academy in Nange City costs tens of thousands of yuan a year, which is beyond what a family like theirs can afford.

Go to that kind of academy, where those powerful beast-controlling teachers will teach you how to control beasts, be classmates with those noble students, and have your own beast-controlling...

Thinking of these scenes that seemed to only appear in dreams, Xiao Hou seemed a little unbelievable and asked, "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true." Lin Kun nodded with a smile, but the next second, Xiao Hou shook his head, and his bright eyes turned gray.

"Forget it, I won't go."

"Why? Don't you want to go to school?" Lin Kun was a little surprised.

"I think." Xiao Hou nodded heavily, but the next moment, he looked at Lin Kun, his eyes seemed serious and determined, "But my mother needs me."

"I can help you." Lin Kun replied, he knew Xiao Hou's situation.

He has a mother who is bedridden. She fell down while working in her early years and was paralyzed in bed. His father has passed away long ago. Over the years, except for the occasional help from kind-hearted neighbors, this teenage boy has taken on everything early. , working everywhere, doing manual labor, supporting this small family.

Lin Kun knew all this, so he took great care of this teenage boy.

"I can help send money to your mother, and I can also hire someone to take care of her." Lin Kun said, "Also, as long as you read the book, you can make money, a lot of money. At that time, I can give your mother a lot of money."

These words were already very sincere, and Lin Kun felt that no one would refuse, but unexpectedly, Xiao Hou in front of him shook his head again.

"She stays in bed every day and doesn't see the outside world. She doesn't know anyone. She only knows me."

"I am her only support. If I leave, she will definitely be very lonely, just like I was at home alone when she went away."

"I know that kind of loneliness, so I won't leave my mother."

"But..." Lin Kun wanted to retort, but when he looked at the stubbornness in the young man's eyes, he froze, and the words that reached his lips were choked in his throat.

After a few seconds, he seemed to have thought of something and sighed helplessly.

His knowledge was much further than that of this teenage boy, and he knew ten thousand better choices and methods, but at this time, he just sighed.

You may call him ignorant or stupid, but when he saw that young man's firm gaze, it seemed that nothing he said mattered.

After looking at the young man for a long time, Lin Kun slowly said, "But in that case, you will have a very hard time."

"bitter?"

This sentence seemed to make Xiao Hou hesitate for a moment, but soon, he smiled, took a sip of water, and seemed to be full of energy and walked towards the fortress.

"Being with mom is not bitter."

…

"Ye Fan, our troops have been assembled." In the jungle not far from the fortress, the two legions had assembled. They seemed to be well prepared, and their guns were loaded.

"You can wait a little longer in the evening. I tortured their intelligence soldiers. Generally, they only change shifts at seven o'clock in the morning and evening."

Suan Sansheng stood beside Ye Fan, waving his feather fan, "The Dynasty Organization's action this time was very secretive. They thought no one else would know about it, so they were not very prepared."

"Yeah." Ye Fan nodded, "How do we arrange the people sent back to Yuncheng?"

"Let's draw them from the Heavenly Condemnation Army. I'll ask Zhang Da to pick out some younger legion members." Suan Sansheng replied, "After all, if we take over this fortress, the Dynasty Organization will definitely come to rob it. If there is a war, those young people may not be able to adapt."

"Okay, just do what the military advisor says." Ye Fan nodded, but didn't say anything. He walked a little higher, looking at the busy workers and various personnel in the fortress, his brows frowned a little.

His eyes were very sharp. It could be seen that these 1,800 people were not all members of the Dynasty Organization. There were many who seemed to be the hard laborers recruited from the construction site.

"Military Advisor, which family do you think this dynasty organization belongs to?" After looking for a while, Ye Fan stepped back and looked at Suan Sansheng, and said with some doubts: "Such a fortress can accommodate tens of thousands of people, but even in Yuncheng, all the members of the dynasty organization, including the servants of several large families of Sun and Zheng, are only more than one thousand or two thousand people." "Tens of thousands of members, this is not allowed in any city, and I haven't heard of any obvious dynasty unrest in that city during this period." "The dynasty organization is not a monolithic entity. It is controlled by people from various large families. Even if there are people who can take out 10,000 members to the secret realm, they will take great risks." "This is indeed a problem. Ordinary people can't raise an army of tens of thousands of people. Even if you are like Ye Fan, who completely controls a city, you still need to escape supervision, otherwise the name of a private soldier will be settled, and no one dares to respond." Suan Sansheng also answered, looking at the distance, frowning slightly. "And in a place like Nanchuan Province, it's not easy to recruit 10,000 troops from a single city, and we can't do it freely, unless..." "He can mobilize personnel from many cities." "Many cities?" Hearing this, Ye Fan frowned a little. This sentence seemed to give him some advice, and a figure slowly emerged in Ye Fan's mind. Nanchuan Province is not big, but since it is a province, there is naturally a nominal provincial governor. This person has a higher level of power than all city lords, and can do more than other city lords. It may be difficult for a city lord to mobilize personnel from multiple cities, but for a provincial governor, this is one of his privileges. "If it's him, it's interesting..." Thinking of something, Ye Fan nodded slightly, and at this moment, Suan Sansheng also stood up, "Ye Fan, the time is almost up, we should go out." "Okay." Ye Fan nodded. "Those people in the fortress, kill them all together?" Suan Sansheng said. "It doesn't matter whether they are killed or not. It doesn't matter to me that they are a group of laborers." Ye Fan waved his hand, glanced at the thin boys in the crowd, paused again, and then added: "Those who don't resist will stay to confirm their identities. If they are just workers, they can be spared." "The fortress has not been completed yet."
