Chapter 31 31. Loyalty used as a bargaining chip
From Tiandou City to Star Dou Forest, you can walk in a straight line up and down.
Crossing the Tianling Mountains.
Passing through Bingpo Grassland.
There is only one Star Dou Mountain Range left from the Star Dou Forest.
The Xingdou Mountains are the border of the Tiandou Empire.
Since the Star Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire have a no-go zone in the Star Dou Great Forest, in order to guard against their opponents, an elite army composed entirely of soul masters was sent across the Star Dou Great Forest to raid their own hinterland, the Star Dou Mountains and the Golden City. The mountains have always been heavily garrisoned.
The Xingdou Mountains belong to the Tiandou Empire.
The Jincheng Mountains belong to the Star Luo Empire.
Between the two mountain ranges is the Star Forest.
Since it is a mountain range, there is always an end. The two mountain ranges can only block the front. On the left and right sides, there are Longxing City and Gemstone City of the Tiandou Empire and Xingyao City and Hadrian City of the Star Luo Empire. Between Gem City and Hadrian City, close to the Star Forest, there is also a Wuhun City, which is the headquarters of the Wuhun Palace. The Pope's Palace, the Elder's Palace, and the Enshrinement Palace are all in this city.
Thanks to the excellent performance of the soul guide.
This journey would take a normal person two months to walk and more than twenty days on horseback. It only took the Lanba Academy group five days to reach a small town under the Star Dou Mountains from Tiandou City. .
The advantage of flying soul guides is that they are fast.
There is no need to take a detour, and it is difficult to think quickly.
The disadvantage is that it consumes more soul power.
Moreover, precisely because of its high speed, if the soul master who controls the flying soul guide cannot keep up with the nerve reflex speed, there is always the risk of destroying the weapon and killing people. If you want to use it in battle, don't go for the upper limit, only go for the ability. Flying, the flying soul guide is still very qualified, but if you go for the upper limit and expect to use speed to decide the outcome, it is not recommended to play like this.
It's okay.
But the risk is too high, so it is not recommended.
You can rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you can rely on water to eat water.
This small town on the edge of the Star Dou Mountains, including other small towns on the edge of the Star Dou Mountains, all rely on the Star Dou Forest opposite the Star Dou Mountains.
Soul masters need to obtain soul rings to break through the level → Soul masters can only obtain soul rings by hunting soul beasts → Star Dou Forest is the largest forest in the world and also the forest with the richest variety of soul beasts → Soul masters are hunting soul beasts In the end, the corpses of the soul beasts can be recycled. The flesh, bones, fur, mucus, including cubs and eggs, are all purchased by someone = these small towns located on the edge of the Star Dou Mountains serve as the closest acquisition stations to the Star Dou Forest. The market is not gorgeous, but it is rich enough.
The formula is very long, but fortunately the logic is correct.
"Lanba Academy has a purchasing station here."
“Moreover, there are purchasing stations not only here, but also in other towns.”
"Even over the Jincheng Mountains in the Star Luo Empire, in many small towns close to the Jincheng Mountains, there are Lanba Academy acquisition stations."
"It's just that their names have nothing to do with Lanba Academy."
"Anyone who checks can only find the purchase channel of Lingshanfang."
As the dean of Lanba College, Liu Erlong and Flanders introduced the peripheral department of Lanba College, which also explained why someone came to pick them up when they arrived in this town.
It was already afternoon when we arrived in this town.
The Starry Forest at night is a hunting ground.
It is not a prudent choice for a weak and exhausted team that has come from afar to enter the dangerous Star Dou Forest, even if there is a Titled Douluo, a Soul Douluo, and three Soul Saints in the team.
When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.
Therefore, after soliciting everyone's opinions, Liu Erlong issued an order: everyone is free to move around, but they must arrive at the hotel where they are staying before nine o'clock in the evening to gather. Get up at seven o'clock tomorrow morning and enter at eight o'clock. The Star Dou Mountains are expected to arrive at the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest around ten o'clock at noon, and after an hour's rest, they will take advantage of the scorching midday sun at twelve o'clock to enter the Star Dou Great Forest.
The order was given at four o'clock in the afternoon.
to 9 p.m., five hours of fun.
On a rare trip, Ma Hongjun was like a husky that had been released from its chains, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Tang San originally wanted to take this opportunity to communicate with Xiao Wu, but the flight was too hurried. Those old students of Lanba Academy had all kinds of props to supplement their soul power. They each had a storage soul guide, and some flew privately. The soul guide even has the function of dual slots. If the soul power is not enough, take out a gem full of soul power from the storage soul guide, open the spare slot and insert it, and then take out the gem that is almost used up. , you can reset the battery life in the air. According to a member of the law enforcement team, he once created a 22-hour flight while chasing an evil soul master, and when he landed on the ground and started fighting, the soul in his body The record of full strength depends on having enough gems in hand; obviously, they do not have this condition.
Stop and go along the way.
If it hadn't been for them, it might have been there in three days.
Even so, they were so tired that they had no time to talk and laugh. They only rested again and again. Under the helpless eyes of many veteran students, they sat cross-legged on the ground and recovered their soul power. Only when they arrived in a certain city did they find a place to stay. Only then can you get some leisure time.
Then, it was time to leave again the next day.
It's too late to recover the soul power, so how can there be time to communicate?
However, Xiao Wu still needed to be quiet.
What's more, even though Tang San was tired, she wasn't idle either.
Tang San recovered his soul power, and she was also recovering her soul power.
Everyone is tired.
Ning Rongrong is also tired, Zhu Zhuqing is also tired, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai are all equally tired. She doesn't want to listen to Tang San's explanation now, she just wants to rest.
Therefore, under Tang San's incredible gaze, Xiao Wu rejected him once again...
Rejected him again...
Rejected him...
"Okay, mistress, don't think so much..." In the noisy bar, Dai Mubai held a beer and hugged Tang San, telling him the philosophy of life he had understood: "As long as you are strong enough, women like this There are as many things as you can grow, three-legged toads are hard to find, two-legged people are everywhere, look at the bamboo..."
"I said, Boss Dai..." Tang San interrupted Dai Mubai. If Dai Mubai used other people to persuade him, he really couldn't find an excuse to refute, but if he used Zhu Zhuqing to persuade him, it would be a bit funny. : "You can take down other people, don't you also take down Zhuqing?"
Dai Mubai was choked and couldn't speak.
Is there anyone who chats like this?
I am trying to persuade you, not letting you prick my heart.
For the sake of face, I can only argue: "Zhuqing is different from other women!"
"No matter how different, she is still a woman..." Tang San rolled his eyes, drank the beer in the cup, shook his head, patted Dai Mubai's shoulder regretfully, and threw down five copper coins: "It's getting late, I'll go first Go back.”
Dai Mubai nodded absently.
For a moment, I even forgot to drink the wine in the glass.
Holding the cup, there was a strange light in his eyes.
Tang San's words meant farewell.
But to Dai Mubai, it sounded like a brand new door had been opened!
"No matter how different, she is still a woman?"
"No matter how different, she is still a woman!" "Soul guidance technology, stellar martial arts, titled Douluo!"
"White Tiger of the Netherworld, daughter of the Zhu family."
"When a girl leaves the Zhu family, she becomes the daughter of the Zhu family."
"If I remember correctly, there is a supplement after the three conditions, unless he personally allows it."
"So, can it be understood that if he gives his permission personally, he can..."
In the bustling bar, Dai Mubai silently made a decision that left the whole world silent. He paid for the drink with a twinkling look in his eyes, left the tavern, and headed straight to the hotel.
……
……
"Please come in..." Ye Qingcang was concentrating on two things. He held a red crystal carving knife in one hand and a metal wristband in the other. When he heard the knock on the door, he just didn't look back. After giving an order, even if the knocker opened the door and the footsteps stopped behind him, he still calmly engraved characters on the metal wristband: "Is something wrong?"
"Yes." Dai Mubai witnessed with his own eyes how the young man with his back turned to him used devastating methods to capture a titled Douluo alive. Therefore, he did not dare to express his dissatisfaction at all, let alone let those dark thoughts in his eyes. The thought sprouted: "I want to make a deal with you."
"From the perspective of your identity: any support and promise you can give me, your father and your brother can give me, and more than you can give me, I have to pay less."< br>
"From your personal point of view: Your future is not worthy of my investment. Some are aloof eagles, some are obedient dogs, and some are immature wolf cubs. When the seeds of prejudice take root and sprout, Even I will still succumb to prejudice and suspicion; it’s just that I am more rational than others and am willing to wait until the facts and evidence I want to confirm are confirmed before I am willing to take the next step. Decision making.”
"No one is perfect when it comes to his deeds but not his heart."
Ye Qingcang's every word gave Dai Mubai a feeling of dissecting himself, as if he had no secrets in his body. That kind of shame and panic constantly impacted his psychological defense: "So, after ruling out all the inconveniences, There is only one possible answer left; I don’t want to believe that this answer will be regarded as the correct answer, so I want to ask you, how do you think that I am a man controlled by the lower body? "< br>
Unknowingly, Dai Mubai's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
He is the third prince of the Star Luo Empire.
Even if his heart energy has been defeated, he has learned the art of the emperor's mind.
He thought no one could see through his disguise.
Because no one has ever seen through it.
Unexpectedly, it was analyzed vividly, clearly and every detail in one sentence. This kind of ability to observe words and emotions can only be said to be terrifying!
However, even with such horror, it cannot stop his desire for life!
People, in order to survive, often do things that exceed the limits of human beings!
This is not an exception, this is generally the case!
Dai Mubai took a deep breath, his pupils were aroused to the extreme by fear, the scene of Dugu Bo being dragged away by Ye Qingcang flashed before his eyes, the heterochromatic pupils were temporarily intensified into dominant features: "People, especially Men, aren’t they all animals that think with their lower body? ”
The room was quiet for a long time.
There was only the sound of the carving knife rubbing against metal.
Not harsh.
But it's like a knife has been scratched on people's nerves.
I don't know how long it took to shave.
One year?
Two years?
Three years?
Or ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years?
It wasn't until the carving knife stopped rubbing against the metal and finished carving the runes that Dai Mubai's dilated pupils instantly shrank to their original size. He looked up at the clock in the room and saw that only three minutes had passed!
I moved subconsciously and was shocked again by the soaked clothes on my back!
"You're right, men are animals that think with their lower bodies."
"No matter how well you do it, no matter how well you control it, you can only think without being controlled by the lower body. After all, you still have to use the lower body to think."
"This is human nature."
"Even so, there are still very few things people can control."
"You can only control your hands not to reach into other people's pockets to take certain items, and you can only control your eyes to avoid those indecent places; you can't control your heartbeat, you can't control your internal organs, I can’t control your subconscious mind at the moment; maybe to put it another way, you can control it, but you are no longer a human being.”
Ye Qingcang's calm and powerful tone gave people a gentle and gentle feeling.
But his god-like and demonic temperament always makes people feel scared.
The combination of the two is like the devil's whisper.
But what he said was correct.
It's a bit like a revelation from God.
The contradiction is so chilling that no one dares to deny this fact.
Because he's right.
It's a violation of morality.
"Three sentences." Ye Qingcang put down the metal wristband and put away the carving knife: "I will give you three sentences to prove your sincerity."
"To the Xingluo royal family, the title Douluo's status is greater than that of the prince!" Dai Mubai played a trick and held on for a breath: "If the title Douluo is a prince, he can ignore the ancestral precepts and ascend the throne, and there is no need for Queen Zhu. ! ”
"One sentence." Ye Qingcang stood in front of the window, looking out at the fireworks in the world.
"Zhu Zhuqing is loyal, and her loyalty is the most precious thing!" Dai Mubai did not have time to think about the consequences of taking advantage of the loopholes, and continued: "Those who are in high positions can only see smiling faces when looking at everyone. , it is not uncommon, a partner who never betrays you is probably rare even for you! ”
"Second sentence." Ye Qingcang was indifferent and couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Dai Mubai could only throw out his last bargaining chip, which was also his last trump card: "I will help you deal with everything cleanly, and I will never do anything to her. I just want to live. She can find me because she also wants to live. Davis and Zhu Zhuyun will not let us go, but they can let me and her go separately. There is only a dead end for me and her together. Only by being separated can we survive. I want to cultivate stars. Martial arts, becoming a titled Douluo, changing your destiny. For this, I can give everything except myself. I can also be your eyes and ears, hiding next to Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, helping you accomplish things that are inconvenient for you! ”
"The third sentence." Ye Qingcang turned around, his calm eyes made Dai Mubai despair, because he couldn't find any sign that he could impress Ye Qingcang: "Are you done?"
"That's it..." Dai Mubai smiled sadly and stood up, preparing to leave.
But unexpectedly, I heard my own voice!
My eyes widened in horror and I followed the sound!
A jade seal machine suddenly came into view!
"This is the contract." Ye Qingcang put the jade seal machine into the storage soul guide: "You should know the rules of asking for help, right?"
"I understand, I understand, I understand..." Dai Mubai nodded frantically. The titled Douluo had been subdued. No matter how strong the white tiger was, he was just a white cat: "Pay first and give later. I will repay you when you are satisfied!"< br>
"It's past eight o'clock." Ye Qingcang crossed his bracelets and looked at the wall clock in the room.
Dai Mubai nodded immediately, found an excuse to leave wisely, and left Ye Qingcang's room with mixed emotions, filled with guilt for Zhu Zhuqing, excitement for changing his destiny, and contempt for Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
"He is a smart man." Violet jumped out from the shadows, took off the ferocious ghost mask on her face, and handed the record of Shrek's group's activities, which was a black notebook, to Ye Qingcang : "It's a pity that he is not smart enough to help you count the money after being sold by you..."
"He has the qualifications to work hard to live..." Ye Qingcang looked at the black notebook and said something casually that seemed to be unintentional, and it also seemed to be a meaningful pronouncement of fate: "But I also have the power to use him; Weier Li Te, you have been with me for many years. Today I will teach you another truth: For those who are not friends, or for those who you cannot tell whether they are your friends, never believe their promises to you. , you have to see what you get, not what he pays. In the same way, for a friend, when you give, you must see what he gets, not what you pay..."
The kitten was betrayed(-^〇^-)
