Chapter 70 Soul Bone Troubles (1)
When Zhou Qing and others left the Notting Guild, it was already evening.
Romantina said goodbye to Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, and headed to the wealthy residential area in the center of Notting City.
"Tina, are you back?"
The deputy city lord of Notting City, Romanyak, came forward.
"Father, you?"
Romantina was a little strange. In the past, her father was very busy. He would come home almost early every night and would not come to greet her.
“I heard that you helped people hunt down soul beasts and got a soul bone this time?” Romanyak was a little anxious, “Take it out quickly, we can’t have this kind of thing!”
The soul bone is the most precious treasure in the soul master world.
No one who has a soul bone will tell others, for fear that others will covet it.
If her daughter had a soul bone and no one knew about it, Romantina would be very happy, but this matter was exposed!
The city lord of Falling Star City, Baron Dales, had already visited him and inadvertently revealed that Romantina had obtained a soul bone.
Who is Dares? Romanyak has secretly inquired about it. It is clear that he is a nobleman who is gradually becoming lonely in Star Luo City. After the birth of the eldest prince of Star Luo Empire, he wanted to support him, but His family was in decline, and he could not even see the eldest prince...
The second prince did not have the innate sense of martial soul fusion with the children of the Zhu family, so he automatically withdrew from the candidates for the throne.
After the third prince was born, he planned to invest in the third prince. However, due to the brutal competition for the royal family in the Star Luo Empire, the six-year-old eldest prince and his supporters had begun to secretly support the third prince. of nobility.
The competition for the throne in the Star Luo Empire is cruel and (relatively) fair. Until the final winner emerges, nothing can happen to the prince.
But for the courtiers and nobles of the Star Luo Empire, it is also important to take sides in advance. Otherwise, it will be too late to support the next prince of the Star Luo Empire after he is elected.
Perhaps the future prince will not say anything openly, and will even try his best to appease the ministers and nobles who did not support him in the past, but privately he will never completely trust them, and it is possible There will also be suppression in secret.
Dales was squeezed out by the nobles who supported the eldest prince six years ago, so he had to rely on his connections to come to this small town on the border between Tiandou and Xingluo to become the city lord in order to avoid the limelight.
Romanyak knew that Dales had great ambitions, and the appearance of the soul bone now would give him a reason to cause chaos in Notting City, and then he would find a reason to intervene.
What is the specific competition in the Star Luo Empire?
Romanyake didn’t know, but he was sure that Dales would also want to take this opportunity to find the reason for the Star Luo Empire to attack the Tiandou Empire.
Contradictions and conflicts are accumulated in collisions!
If it succeeds, it doesn't matter whether he supports the eldest prince or the third prince of the Star Luo Empire in the future, because he has already proven his worth.
For this kind of outsider who initially supported the eldest prince and later supported the third prince, it is not easy to be liquidated in the end, and can even get along like a fish in water...
"Dales!"
Romandina gritted her teeth secretly. She originally thought that the other party had aristocratic demeanor, but she didn't expect that she would think so far and be so arrogant that she would find a reason for the Star Luo Empire to attack the Tiandou Empire!
It’s really hateful!
Although Notting City, Falling Star City and the large area on the edge are mountainous and watery, and are not important military areas, if this matter is really done by Dales, Notting City and the surrounding villages The peace and tranquility will definitely be broken.
【At that time, we should have directly shot them to death with the Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow! 】
Romantina regretted it.
This was the first time she realized the cruelty of the world. In the past, her life in the Notting Guild, where she performed missions with other adventurers and received rewards, was so pleasant. She didn’t expect that because of this mission— -Because Zhou Qing was not familiar with him at first and did not want to reveal the soul guide... This is understandable, but the problem of soul bones being exposed has such a huge impact!
“It’s useless to talk about him now.” Romanyak said anxiously, “Take out the soul bone, we will immediately hold a temporary auction and sell it.”
This is Romanyak's response plan. Due to Dares's insidiousness, Romanyak was sure that the other party would secretly spread the news: Romantina, the daughter of the deputy city lord of Notting City, possesses a soul bone!
Although it is only a century-old soul bone, Romanyak cannot protect his daughter once it is exposed.
Therefore, the best plan is to sell the soul bones.
He could see that Romanyak also wanted the soul bone, so he would treat it as a waste of money and disaster.
“You shouldn’t have absorbed it, right?” Seeing Romantina’s silence, Romanyak’s heart sank, and he sighed and said, “Then, I will arrange for someone to send her off tonight. You leave the city.”
If it has been absorbed...
Then the only thing he, Romanyak, could do for his daughter was to send her out of the city, stay anonymous, avoid the limelight, and keep the storm away from Notting City.
Although he is extremely helpless, he is the deputy city lord of Notting City. His first priority is the stability of Notting City. For this daughter, he can only pray silently in his heart that she will be strong in the future. To survive - [Dales, you and I are at odds with each other! 】
“No, but the soul bone is not in my hands.” Romantina shook her head.
“What?!” Romanyak shouted, “That’s a soul bone, and you actually gave it to those children?”
About Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Romanyak naturally sent people to investigate Wu's identity, and easily obtained the information from the Academic Affairs Office of Notting College.
However, he never expected that his stupid daughter would not even want a soul bone.
"The Adventure Guild has regulations. Once you accept the task, everything else except the reward belongs to the employer." Romantina said loudly.
"You...I..." Romanyak's fingers trembled, and finally turned into a long sigh, and said: "You are just too upright."
"Father, haven't you been since you were young? Did you teach me this?" Romantina asked in confusion.
“Hey, it’s my fault... Forget it, let’s go find him. Before the news spreads, we buy the soul bones from him and then auction them... I hope he doesn’t Absorb it, otherwise we can only cut off his limbs." Romanyak knew the cultivation potential of the innate full soul power, but after all, he came from the small village of Holy Soul Village and had no background or power. He had already found out this. .
If the other party comes from some sect or family, it would be easier to tell Dales the matter directly, so that he would not dare to fish in troubled waters again.
But unfortunately——
No.
For the stability of Notting City, he can only be sacrificed.
Big deal···
From now on, he will keep him at home, eat and drink him well and look after him.
“That’s a head soul bone.” Romantina said softly.
Romanyak: "..."
Zhou Qing is an orphan. He also found out about this, but it is also a head soul bone... Didn't he force him to kill innocent people indiscriminately?
If the soul bones of the limbs are cut off, find a better doctor, and you have a chance of saving your life. He can also compensate for it afterwards...
He was about to convince his inner conscience, but he didn't expect that it was actually a head soul bone!
Do you want such good luck?
Isn’t this torturing the justice in his heart?
"Zhou Qing probably didn't absorb it. He said he wanted to study soul bones." Romantina added.
“That’s good.”
Romanyak's heart went up and down, and he finally let go, but he didn't believe that Zhou Qing could research anything. He just wanted to get the soul bone quickly, and then auction it off to divert the storm...
