Chapter 118 Soul Bone Troubles (5)
On the auction stage.
After the soul bone showcase.
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Romanyak's forehead, and he looked at City Lord Xiao with a slightly stiff head.
He knows the identity of the man in black clearly!
But now Dales won’t increase the price!
The smile on City Master Xiao's face gradually stiffened, and he motioned unnaturally to Romanyak to hit the auction hammer - otherwise the soul masters in the audience would be incited by that bastard Dales!
“Once in a million!”
Romanyak knocked hard for the first time, and the dull sound echoed throughout Notting Square.
After ten seconds, no second person increased the price again.
"Twice a million!"
The auction hammer struck for the second time.
But still no one increased the price.
Most of the soul masters in the field want to get this piece of soul bone, but they have the intention but not the wealth. One million gold soul coins is already a wealth that most of them will never earn in their lifetime.
“One million, the third time!”
Thirty seconds passed. Seeing that no one else had raised the price, Romanyak knew that he could not drag it out any longer. With a heavy heart, he struck the third hammer.
[Notting City will probably be in chaos for a while in the future...]
Romanyak knows very well that Dales wants to cause chaos in Notting City ···
If this soul bone is obtained by Dares, it will be a waste of money and disaster. At least Dares will not be able to make a fuss about the soul bone in the future.
But once this piece of soul bone does not belong to Dares, no matter whether he confirms that the man in black is the person of Xiao City Lord, he will secretly spread the word and guide the soul masters who come to Notting City to the City Lord. There were investigations and even thefts from the Mansion and Xiao Mansion.
Members of the soul master group kill each other for a piece of soul bone, even flesh and blood——
This is not alarmist, but a bloody fact in the soul master world.
[We have to prepare tonight to send Romantina away from Notting City and go outside to avoid the limelight, so as not to harm Chiyu. 】
Romanyak sighed secretly and ordered someone to take out the next auction item: a crystal rose necklace said to be polished by a master carver.
However, most civilian soul masters are indifferent to such things that cannot enhance their strength. Only some aristocratic children and soul masters who have formed small families will buy such luxuries. I hope to interact with nobles with more noble status and status through this...
After the auction, Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu went to the guild to collect their rewards, and then they met Romantina, who had arrived late.
Xiao Wu handed over the bag of gold soul coins belonging to Romantina and said: "We have collected it for you."
"Thank you."
Roman Tina took the bag of gold soul coins and felt a little depressed. She was not at all like her usual pervert. With Lively, he said with a bit of sadness, "My father is sending me away from Notting City tomorrow, saying that he will pick me back up after the recent Soul Bone crisis has passed... How about you leave with me?" "
Leaving Notting City and not getting involved in this matter is the best choice.
But——
Zhou Qing was hesitant.
After all, once they leave Notting City, what will he, Tang San, and Xiao Wu do?
Although the martial soul certificate issued by the martial soul hall is also the qualification for admission to the junior soul master academy, suddenly traveling from one area to another does not follow the normal admission process, and it will always attract attention.
Join Wuhun Palace?
Join a sect or family?
He didn't want to choose.
Maybe it’s the pride of being a time traveler that’s causing trouble.
Perhaps I am afraid——
I will not be able to help myself.
Once you enter the system of the two, you will probably assimilate yourself into what you look down on now - your own family knows your own affairs. Once you become a vested beneficiary, you may not have the courage to say anything about changes.
And Tang San noticed Zhou Qing's hesitation again, but he didn't know what Zhou Qing was hesitating about, so he didn't know how to persuade him. He could only make up his mind in his heart to complete that gift as soon as possible. ······
“Leave? I don’t want to.” Xiao Wuyao Head, "I haven't even visited every corner of Notting City, how can I leave?"
Tang San said: "I won't leave either, my home is in Holy Soul Village."
It's not that Tang San missed the blacksmith shop at home, but the forge built near Zhou Qing's home.
In the year or two before his martial soul awakened, he had also become familiar with the villagers of Holy Soul Village. It was always not good to leave without saying a word.
However.
Tang San finally decided to see what Zhou Qing wanted. If he wanted to leave with Romantina, then he would also go with her.
“I’ll stay.”
Zhou Qing was silent for a while and gave his own answer.
He has temporarily convinced himself in his heart:
Since you want to make some changes for Douluo Continent, you can no longer hesitate and need to straighten your back!
Just a Dales!
A mere possibility that will destabilize the city of Notting!
If you just shrink back like this, what achievements can you make in the future?
Moreover, he is now extremely powerful, and if he uses his first soul skill, in theory, it would be difficult for the Soul Master to compete with him, so why should he be afraid?
"Do you want to abandon me?"
Romantina changed her previous sadness and turned into tears, "The flesh bug is still in my mind!"
Tianmeng Bingsi:【···It’s really sad! Until now, you are not willing to call me Brother Tianmeng! 】
"Hey! Don't hug me! Don't let people in the guild think that we have anything to do with each other! If you don't want to be innocent, I still want it!"
Zhou Qing was speechless and pushed Romantina, who was hugging his thigh. Originally, Romantina was leaving, which was very happy... ah, no, it was quite sad. Who knew that this person would change at his will?
How many days have they known each other?
At this moment.
The other adventurers in the Nordin Guild also paid attention and pointed at Zhou Qing, Romantina, Tang San, Xiao Wu and others.
"Young people nowadays are having so much fun!"
"Isn't that the deputy city lord's daughter? Someone dares to abandon her. How disgusting!"
"No! That man He seems to be even younger!”
“You have become a soul master, didn’t you also serve as a guard at the auction house before?”
“You are already a scumbag at a young age? After all, I have two childhood sweethearts with me, and they actually get involved with Romantina. Wow, that’s so romantic and amazing.”
Tang San's face turned pale.
These adventurers really dare to say anything!
He is not a woman!
Zhou Qing immediately broke away from Romantina and ran outside the guild. He did not dare to imagine what more outrageous words these outspoken adventurers would say if they stayed in the guild any longer. .
Romantina only verbally turned out to be a little bit perverted, but among these adventurers, there may be some perverts in the real sense, the kind who have been tested personally!
"Wait for me!"
Romantina shouted as she chased out.
Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other, and turned around in unison. Looking at the adventurers' expressions that expressed emotion, ridicule, fun, or encouragement, they felt their scalps go numb and ran away quickly. Go out...
Miss Alice behind the guild counter has not yet come to her senses, because she saw the whole process between Zhou Qing and Romantina, but How to describe this picture now?
How strange!
It feels as if reason and art have been shattered, mixed together with humor, and then steamed with doubts. The entrance is three parts crazy, five parts funny, and two parts torture... It lingers in my mind.
“These kids are really lively.”
Su Yuntao sat in front of the counter, turned around, picked up the fruit wine brought by Miss Alice, and took a sip, haha He smiled and said, "I remember that I also had such a beautiful youthful past, and I should be in Romantina's position."
"Same personality as Miss Romantina?" Seeing Suyun Thao's dark circles disappeared a lot, and Alice started to joke.
“Of course not!”
Su Yuntao immediately retorted.
There are not many people in Notting City who know Romantina’s true character, but it happens that Su Yuntao and Alice both know it.
Alice has a delicate mind and can notice the "obscene smile" that Romantina showed when accepting tasks in the guild. Moreover, several teams that she has partnered with have changed her mind after returning. Terminate the cooperative relationship with her immediately...
Although these teams gave face to the deputy city leader Romanyak and kept silent about Romantina's personality, Alice still learned from an adventurer situation.
This adventurer is Su Yuntao.
After all, except for the task of awakening the martial soul every year, Su Yuntao is relatively idle most of the time, so he will naturally make money in other ways (taking tasks).
Su Yuntao happens to be one of the few adventurers who has cooperated with Romantina. After learning about Romantina's "unnatural" qualities, he "respectfully" stayed away from her. And warned others...
"Hey, I don't know how many soul masters will gather in Notting City in the next month or two." Speaking of this matter Su Yuntao's eyes showed a hint of sadness, "In the past few days, the City Lord's Palace and Wuhun Palace have to cooperate and increase inspections. I came here also to release the mission. Wuhun Palace needs to recruit temporary soul masters. Form a patrol team and cooperate with the soldiers in the city to patrol."
"Master Matthew No. will not go to Baozi Hall?" Alice wondered.
Who exactly was the soul bone auctioned off... There is already a rumor among the adventurers in the guild: City Lord Xiao.
Whether it was the commission he arranged to get a fortune from Dales, or whether he tricked all the soul masters who came to Notting City, it didn't matter anymore.
The important thing is that the soul bones still exist in Notting City!
This will cause turmoil in the originally quiet and peaceful small city!
Logically speaking, Mathieu Nuo should immediately report to Wuhunzi Palace and tell the whole story, and the higher authorities will naturally send manpower over to help patrol.
Why only help patrol and not deal with it?
The Wuhun Palace cannot interfere in matters such as internal affairs and management between the various cities in the two empires. At most, it can only participate in disputes and conflicts between soul masters.
“Isn’t City Lord Xiao blocking the way?”
Su Yuntao sighed, “Once our branch hall reports to the Zidian, the Lord of the Zidian, or other people, and The city lords and officials of the local city have contacted each other. If this matter is revealed, City Lord Xiao will be punished."
"The noble status may be retained, but the position of city lord must not be continued. After all, once chaos breaks out in Notting City, he will be accused of neglecting his duties."
"There are many nobles, big and small, in Tiandou, but not many have real power. Others. The small nobles who have no real power in the local area are all hoping that the city lords of remote towns like us will make mistakes, so that they can rely on connections and connections to come and become the 'City Emperor' of small cities like ours."
"But if the storm of this matter passes, it means that he, City Master Xiao, is talented and capable, and it can even become his qualifications for future promotion."
Different from Wuhun Palace, the way officials in the Tiandou Empire are promoted , does not rely entirely on strength, but on ability and qualifications.
Otherwise, the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xueye, should be the strongest soul master in the Tiandou Empire.
"City Lord Xiao just used everyone in Notting City as his springboard." Alice took out the task paper and wrote the task of recruiting temporary patrol soul masters, "If Deputy City Lord Romanyake It'll be nice if you get the upper hand."
"As the receptionist of the Nordin Guild and in charge of the Soul Coin Machine, you can't say such things." Su Yuntao joked.
"It's just something you feel. You don't have to be so serious, Master War Soul Master?" After Alice filled out the task content, she handed it to Su Yuntao and said with a smile, "Okay, you can post it on the task wall yourself. , I'm busy."
"Ah, it seems I'm hated!" Su Yuntao laughed, ordered the last glass of fruit wine, drank it, stood up and posted the task paper on the wall. Go up, say goodbye to Alice, and walk out of Notting Guild.
"See you next time."
Looking at his back, Alice smiled slightly, the longing in her eyes fleeting...
