Chapter 242: Politics are Trickery (4)
100 gold coins were given for moving a single boulder.
This news quickly spread to all of the villages. People started to whisper among each other asking if His Highness the Demon Lord was perhaps pulling an extremely bizarre joke. Three days later, a new decree was posted at the front door of the Grand Assembly Hall. It was another ridiculous order.
– 300 gold coins will be given to whoever returns the boulder that Yammer had moved three days ago back to its original position.
This time no one complained. They all ran straight to the bottom of the hill.
“Get out of the way you old coots! You’ll break your backs if you push yourselves too hard!”
People shouted at each other as they ran to the boulder. A young man had arrived first, but the others didn’t care as they latched on to the boulder like a bunch of leeches.
“No, why are you guys acting like this when I got here first!? This is mine, mine I say!”
“There’s no such thing as yours or mine. Huhu, the decree doesn’t say that only one person can move it.”
“Dear Lord, this guy is trying to rob me in broad daylight!”
