Peaceful nights.

There are also cicadas.

In the room, Ju Wanqing sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the statue of the city god motionless with dark eyes.

Qin Lan was stared at by her, and finally couldn't help but break the silence.

"It's late at night, why don't you sleep, staring at me?"

"I had slept enough before. ”

"Then you won't be staring at me, will you?" Qin Lan really didn't know what was so beautiful about this wooden statue of the city god.

"I wonder what the principle of a statue that can speak and think. Ju Wanqing said with great interest, "I think you may be a big liar." ”

"Whatever you want. ”

Qin Lan didn't have the heart to coax the child.

"I want to smash the statue open. Ju Wanqing said seriously, "You should also be an ordinary person, in order to pretend to be a ghost, so you hide inside the statue." Tricked my cousin and the Gravetooth team into them. ”

Qin Lan sighed.

Hiding inside the statue?

How idle is it to do such a thing......

However, Qin Lan absolutely could not allow Ju Wanqing to smash the statue open.

When a statue is broken, its integrity as a sacred relic decreases. The consequence is that the power of faith is lost, and Qin Lan's consciousness cannot be fully carried out.

"Do you think that an ordinary person could make an elixir out of thin air that can heal your injuries?"

"It could be that you hid inside the statue before and then took it out with a special means. ”

"By what means?"

"I don't know. ”

"Then how can you assert that?"

Ju Wanqing snorted lightly: "Anyway, there must be a way." ”

"Huh. I thought you were a talent, but I didn't expect you to be such a careless person. Looks like I'm blind. ”

Ju Wan pursed her mouth, she also knew that it was unlikely, but she just wanted to explore Qin Lan's secret.

In her opinion, everything about Qin Lan was extremely mysterious, as if she was shrouded in a veil.

After a slight pause, Qin Lan spoke.

"You want to know who I really am?"

"Can you tell me?" said Ju Wanqing's eyes lit up.

"Yes. Qin Lan said, "There's nothing to hide." I am the city god of Yuancheng, and I was born in response to the will of the people of Yuancheng from generation to generation. ”

"Are you telling me a mythical story?" Ju Wanqing rolled her eyes, "Do you think I will believe this kind of trick to deceive children?"

Myths and stories......

20,000 years ago, the era when warriors possessed extraordinary power and ascended to heaven and earth has become a myth.

Qin Lan also knew that in that era, it was not written into the history books and passed on to future generations.

In other words, a small number of historical books that have been handed down to the present day will also be recognized as mythological stories created by predecessors.

Nimbus?

Warriors?

It's simply impossible to get people to imagine the full picture of something they've never been exposed to.

It's like asking a person who has been blind since birth to imagine the concept of color.

"Mythical story...... Qin Lan chuckled, "You can think of it this way: I am a living myth." ”

Ju Wanqing covered her stomach and laughed like a silver bell: "You are so funny." ”

"Haha, it's good if you're happy. Qin Lan also looked joking.

It would be almost impossible for anyone in modern times to believe in the transcendent world of 20,000 years ago.

Qin Lan didn't want others to understand.

Just be happy.

"One day, I will unveil your mystery. Ju Wanqing waved his fists, looking high-spirited.

"Do you agree to join Yuancheng by saying this?" Qin Lan said deliberately.

Ju Wanqing's expression froze, and then he snorted softly: "I didn't say it." ”

"But that's what you say. ”

Ju Wanqing said a little angrily: "Hmph, it's nothing." Sleep!"

After speaking, Ju Wanqing fell directly on the bed with his head and covered his face with a quilt.

Qin Lan smiled.

If Ju Wanqing returns to Yuancheng with them......

But it's lively.

......

The next day.

When it's cloudy.

There was a lot of noise outside.

"Don't crowd, don't mess around!" Hu Fan's voice came, "Line up, come one by one! Even if you are in a hurry, you can only be assessed one by one!"

"None of you will be left behind. As long as you meet the criteria for passing the assessment, the adults will definitely pass you!"

The sound of chaos woke up Ju Wanqing directly.

"What's going on out there?"

Ju Wanqing opened her sleepy eyes and muttered a little unhappily.

Qin Lan's old god responded: "They should all be here to be assessed." ”

"Is the assessment here?" said Ju Wanqing's face was puzzled.

"That's right. Qin Lan smiled, "Didn't I say it, we in Yuancheng are in need of manpower now." ”

"Ahh

Ju Wanqing blinked: "Then they all want to join Yuancheng?"

Listening to the sound, the people who gathered outside to line up are not a few.

"Of course. Qin Lan quipped, "There are as many people who want to join our Yuan City." If I find someone who can perfectly serve as the president of our Yuancheng Chamber of Commerce, I will not hesitate to kick you out. ”

"Huh?"

Ju Wanqing's expression was a little nervous. But then he relaxed again and snorted coldly: "That's just right." I'm not uncommon. ”

Although she said this, how could she hide the anxiety and nervousness in her eyes?

Qin Lan's laughter was repeated, and Ju Wanqing's reaction made him feel very interesting.

"What are you laughing at?"

Ju Wanqing has some airways.

"Nothing. ”

Qin Lan said softly, "It should be about the same." ”

Qin Lan's words just fell.

A figure approached the door and pushed it open.

It's the ink dyeing.

"My lord, the time has come. The gathering of people is almost complete, and the assessment can begin. Mo Ran bowed slightly and explained to Qin Lan.

"Good. The assessment begins. ”

Ink Dye approached the statue of the god of the city and lifted the statue up.

The location of the assessment is in the reception room of Guixiang Garden.

Ju Wanqing watched Mo Ran lift the statue of the city god, and turned his head to leave, ignoring his own meaning at all. Suddenly a little angry: "Hey!

"What are you doing?" Qin Lan's tone was a little impatient, "I'm pressed for time. ”

"You go to the assessment, what about me?" Ju Wanqing pointed to himself.

"Rest. Qin Lan said a little indifferently, "The assessment is an internal matter of our Yuan City, you are an outsider, it is better to recuperate from your injuries." ”

Qin Lan's unkind words made Ju Wanqing's heart burst into flames.

What!

What a ...... Nasty statues!

"Okay, then I'll have a good rest!"

Ju Wanqing angrily wrapped his body in a quilt.

Qin Lan didn't continue to respond, and Mo Ran left the room with the statue of the city god in his arms.

Seeing Mo Ran and Qin Lan, he really didn't pay attention to his own meaning, and Ju Wanqing was even more angry in his heart.

"Obviously, I have hinted at ...... before," the more Ju Wanqing thought about it, the more aggrieved he became.

There was no intention of lying in bed and continuing to sleep.

Also recuperate......

What kind of recuperation?!

I took out the pill, how good the effect is, don't you know??

Obviously energetic to death, I have to lie in bed...... It's just too tormenting.

Ju Wanqing felt that if he didn't stand up and move, he would suffocate in bed.

"Hmph, damn, damn!"

Ju Wanqing lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and walked back and forth on the ground.

The more she thought about the statue's hateful face, the more angry she became.

Obviously, he already knew what he meant, but he still pretended not to understand.

Do you have to say it yourself?

She knows it herself.

In addition to following his cousin and them back to Yuancheng, he had no other choice.

Without the protection of the Tomb Tooth Squad, she wouldn't even be able to get out of Shore Mountain City.

This is the headquarters of the Makihara Chamber of Commerce.

If she doesn't accept Yuancheng's protection, the Muyuan Chamber of Commerce can take care of her at will.

Even if she was forced, joining Yuancheng was her only way.

And, from the point of view of rational analysis......

Even if she doesn't want to admit it, joining Yuancheng is indeed the best choice.

That mysterious statue, the body of the 'city god' of Yuancheng, has always been shrouded in an extremely mysterious veil. Those miraculous means can really only be seen in those myths and legends.

Even she herself had to admit that the statue's claim that it was a living myth had considerable credibility.

The turnaround from the Tomb Tooth squad and the enthusiasm of the people who came to participate in the assessment are the best examples.

The strength of the Tomb Tooth Squad, she herself knows it all too well.

She has also experienced the hardships of orc hunters.

It was easy for the Tomb Tooth Squad, a Bronze-level beast hunting team, to gain the strength to easily slaughter the elite guards of the Muyuan Chamber of Commerce, and the strength of that statue was unfathomable.

Moreover, the statue also has a special appreciation for itself.

Whoever looks at it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity......

Ju Wanqing stopped, stomped on the spot, and looked in the direction of the door.

"I didn't want to join Yuancheng. I'm here to repay the favor...... Yes, repay the favor!"

After thinking of this reason, Ju Wanqing's eyes lit up slightly. Walked quickly to the door, and then, gently pushed it open—

......

As soon as Qin Lan came out of the room, she could hear the noise outside the courtyard more clearly.

Those orc hunters don't have any intention of restraint at all. Some people even quarreled because of the order of the queue, and there was a tendency to fight if they didn't agree.

Orc hunters are inherently a profession that moves between life and death. This kind of life of licking blood on the tip of the knife makes most beast hunters develop a fiery temper. Hu Fan's people, due to their different ways of survival, have become outliers among the beast hunters.

In the reception room, the statue of the city god was placed on the main throne.

Gas**, facing the door of the reception room upright.

No matter who it is, as long as they step into the range of the reception room, they will be intimidated by the ** momentum emanating from the statue of the city god. It is not only the atmosphere condensed by the power of faith, but more importantly, the coercion of Qin Lan's own consciousness.

It's just that Qin Lan consciously restrained himself at ordinary times.

If you don't restrain yourself and release the coercion of your soul and consciousness with all your might, then the entire Yuan City will stop functioning.

Now, the momentum was slightly let go by Qin Lan.

In order to make it more convenient for Qin Lan to conduct the assessment. Let them understand that they are the lord of Yuancheng and the only 'city god' in Yuancheng.

After a while, Hu Fan walked in.

"Lord Castle God, it's all ready. Hu Fan clenched his fists, "According to your orders, the personnel to be assessed include all the basic personnel such as hunters, traders, self-employed people, craftsmen, etc. ”

"Hmm. Let them in. ”

Unified assessment, because of the formal restrictions, the assessment of personnel, will also have a certain purpose.

If it is a 'genius' who has a high talent, or a half 'successful person' who has made small achievements in the industry, he will never let go of his arrogance and accept the assessment with those low-level personnel.

The more gifted and accomplished people are, the more they will care about the promotion of status and class brought about by the results of their struggles.

It is simply impossible to get them to give up these, let go of the arrogance in their hearts, and mix with the people at the bottom.

And for Yuancheng's side, for Qin Lan, there is also a sense that he doesn't pay much attention to the other party.

You have to give enough respect to geniuses in order to show the importance of your own side.

Otherwise, why did people join Yuancheng?

Of course, these should not be too important.

After all, Qin Lan is a self-proclaimed 'first genius in ancient and modern times'.

When it comes to arrogance, his own arrogance is the heaviest, and no one can compare with him.

The more talented a person is, the heavier the arrogance in his heart.

It is the most basic etiquette to give some so-called geniuses and successful people a certain amount of respect.

But Qin Lan would not put the status of Yuancheng's side down.

There are many geniuses.

But Yuan Cheng, Qin Lan, this 'god-level refining master', there is only one such one in the world.

It is their luck to know how to judge the situation and join Yuancheng.

This is Qin Lan's most fundamental and original idea.

If you rely on your two cents of capital and be proud in front of Qin Lan, Qin Lan can only say to them: You have found the wrong person.

The first person to be tested walked in.

It was a young man, wearing an inferior armor, probing his brain, and a little nervous.

"Why don't you meet your lordship?"

Hu Fan said with a serious face.

"Big, sir......"

The young man looked left and right in the room, and his eyes were unfocused because of nervousness. Hu Fan's unkind voice sounded, which made him even more nervous and extremely panicked.

"There's no need to be nervous. ”

Qin Lan spoke slowly.

After hearing this voice, the young man finally found the statue in front of him. Finding that the statue could speak, his face turned pale in an instant, and he was intimidated by Qin Lan's might, so his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a puff.

"Bye...... Meet your lords!"

The young man was in a cold sweat.

Qin Lan shook his head and smiled.

He was a little too nervous.

"Tell us about your name, age, history, and other basic information. Qin Lan said.

"Yes...... Yes!" The young man didn't dare to move nervously, and the undershirt of his armor was wet, "My name is Bai Shan, and this year, I am nineteen years old. My father, my father and mother taught me from a young age to be a good person. So I think I'm a good person. ”

"When I was three years old, there was an orc hunter in silver and white armor in our village, and I asked my father, who was that uncle? Originally, there were no crystal beasts near the jungle where our village was located, but for some reason, a crystal beast suddenly came. I also found out later, that crystal beast killed a lot of us......"
