Chapter 114: The Price of Freedom
The power of the states of Wuzhou City is distributed according to the southeast, northwest, and middle, and the city lord's mansion is located in the center of Wuzhou City.
Long Fei and the other four came to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion, and after explaining their intention to the doorman, they were taken to a reception room.
An old man who looked like a housekeeper appeared in front of everyone and smiled kindly: "Welcome to the four friends, the contemptible surname is Mo, you can call me Mo Lao." The City Lord's Mansion has not had any fresh blood join for decades, but I didn't expect that this time, all the people from Middle-earth would come to the City Lord's Mansion. ”
"Elder Mo, you said that for decades, isn't the Holy Land only opened once in a thousand years?" Long Fei frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Haha, a few of you have just come here, you may not know, the Middle-earth continent where you are located, the speed of time is a hundred times that of here, the so-called millennium opens, here is only a period of ten years, if not, what would this Wuzhou City be desolate. ”
"His grandmother's, if Lao Tzu goes back in a few years, not all the people in Middle-earth will be dead, and there will be no one he knows by then. When Tong Tie heard Mo Lao's words, he immediately burst into foul language, and the rest of the people were also shocked.
"If you come, you will be safe, several of you have already chosen the red pill, what is there to be nostalgic for that illusory realm. Mo Lao stroked his beard lightly and comforted him.
"Having said that, but the illusion in Mo Lao's mouth is the life of our waiter, the white clouds and dogs, the years are ruthless, hey...... "Although the monk is a monk, he has not yet seen through the red dust."
Long Fei and Bai Mengdie listened to Mo Lao's words, and their thoughts drifted back to the Middle-earth Continent, and no one spoke under their own concerns.
"Let's go with me to see the city lord first, after meeting the city lord, I will take you to choose Lingtian, this is a benefit only when you join the city lord's mansion, before you, someone has already chosen this. Mo Lao broke everyone's silence, and after saying this, he took the lead and walked out of the room.
Long Fei and the others looked at each other, even if they knew the truth of the current situation, they had no choice but to take one step at a time.
Several people followed Mo Lao, walked through a long corridor, and came to a hall, where a middle-aged man was sitting, Long Fei and the others could see at a glance that this middle-aged man was just a projection, not a real body.
"The old slave sees the master. Mo Lao bowed down on his knees, and Long Fei and the others also bowed and saluted, and said, "Meet the city lord." ”
"No need to be polite. The middle-aged man stood up, his right hand raised. His body is very tall, with a long beard and white face, and under his elegant temperament, he faintly reveals the majesty of the superior.
"Master, these are the people from Middle-earth who broke through this time, plus the previous one, all five of them have come to the City Lord's Mansion. ”
"Good. The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he was very happy, his eyes swept over Long Fei and the others one by one, and said: "It is a wise choice for you to choose to join the City Lord's Mansion, you will choose Lingtian and receive the seeds in a while, even if you are from my City Lord's Mansion, if there are people from other forces bullying you, you can report my name Dugufeng, I, the city lord, still have a little right to speak here." ”
"Dugu City Lord, there is something unclear below, and I hope the City Lord can answer it. Long Fei heard that Mo Lao and Dugu Feng both mentioned the idea of joining the City Lord's Mansion, which was different from what Monk Can't said before.
"If you don't know anything, just ask. Dugufeng glanced at Long Fei and said with a smile.
"City Dugu Lord, I don't know if we choose to plant Lingtian, the relationship with the City Lord's Mansion is subordinate, or is it hired?" Long Fei was very cautious in his wording, the reason why several of them chose to come to the City Lord's Mansion was that they didn't want to send people under the fence, if they planted Lingtian, they could be regarded as joining a faction, and the decision of those people would have to be reconsidered.
Tong Tie and Monk Can't also had the same question in their hearts, and at this time, Long Fei asked this question, which was exactly what they wanted to ask.
"Haha, if you don't want to join the City Lord's Mansion, then you can choose to only grow elixir and not join the City Lord's Mansion, in this way, the City Lord's Mansion will not interfere with anything with you, as long as you hand over the prescribed elixir on time, the City Lord's Mansion has no other requirements for you, of course, if you have any trouble, the City Lord's Mansion will not come forward. ”
Long Fei and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard Dugufeng say this.
"However, I want to remind you that if you don't have the protection of the City Lord's Mansion, I'm afraid that other forces will come to the door to find trouble at the first time, with your current cultivation, there is no other way than to become a fish and meat. ”
Although Dugu Feng's words gave Long Fei and them two choices, in fact, if they chose not to take refuge in the City Lord's Mansion, in this environment, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch.
"Several, the one who came to the City Lord's Mansion before you chose to take refuge in the City Lord's Mansion, once you have made a decision, you can't change it, this is the rule here, so please think twice. Mo Lao saw that a few people were entangled, and reminded kindly.
"Brother Long, what should we do?" Bai Mengdie only looked forward to Long Pegasus, and Long Fei's decision at this moment was her decision.
"Brother Tong, master, do you two have a decision?" Long Fei didn't answer Bai Mengdie immediately, he wanted to hear the choice of the other two.
"Tong is not used to looking up to people, I choose not to take refuge, great monk, what do you say?" Tong Tie said loudly, looking at the monk who could not be.
"Amitabha, the idea of a poor monk and a child brother is the same. The monk clasped his hands together and said to Long Fei.
Long Fei saw that Tong Tie and Master Can't had already expressed their positions, and then turned to Dugu Feng and said: "Thank you for the city lord's love, me and Humble Jing are also used to freedom, and we can only live up to the city lord's good intentions."
"Haha, it's okay, Mo Lao, the rest of the matter is left to you, you can do it yourself. Lonely Wind saw that Long Fei and the others had made up their minds, and after explaining Mo Lao's words, the projection slowly dissipated in the air.
"Several, I hope you don't regret your decision today, come with me, I will take you to choose Lingtian and receive the elixir seeds. Mo Lao sighed, as if he was feeling sorry for Long Fei and the others for not choosing to take refuge in the City Lord's Mansion.
Long Fei was relieved to see Dugufeng leave directly, he was really worried that Dugufeng would be annoyed and angry before.
Freedom comes at a price, Long Fei and the others chose freedom, the difficulties they have to face are not yet known, but in the face of comfortable refuge, they all refused, this choice is good or bad is unknown, after all, what will happen in the future, no one can predict.
