Chapter 37: If It Rains
"If you don't prove it, how do you know?"
"The city lord is very busy, so I don't occasionally play with you. The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the guards on both sides naturally surrounded him.
Faced with this situation, Sun Ziqi took a few steps back from the decomposition, after all, this is the courtyard of the city lord, they don't have any provenance to do it, once they fight back, maybe they will be wanted by the city lord, rather than being beaten passively, Sun Ziqi would rather take off the rabbit.
But Xiu stood there motionless, and if he was an ordinary person, he would probably be scared silly now. Sun Ziqi couldn't figure out what Xiu was going to do, did he want to be the enemy of the city lord of a capital of the Yongri Empire? That was to make enemies with the Yongri Empire in disguise.
"I thought it was a very good task to complete, but it seems that compared to this task myself, it is important to obtain the approval of the city lord. β
But the city lord's assistant didn't have time to mess around with the two children, he kept a straight face and ordered: "Blast these two children out." β
"Repair. What to do? Will we be beaten, will we be able to fight back?"
"Whatever. Xiu smiled meaningfully at Sun Ziqi, and then several black fighting qi arrays beside him elaborated, "Come!
Looking at the huge black phantom that has been discovered so far, with a suffocating majesty. As an ordinary person, just staring at the illusory demon, it was difficult for his body to roll.
Xiu didn't encourage any attacks, just the illusory giant shadow wrapped in black and magical power had already shattered the resistance of those ordinary people.
"Halter. Let them in. β
A few floors away, Ste James's faint voice could still be heard, and Xiu had no hope of doing it, and he also withdrew his magic. The guards on both sides also returned to their posts at Hart's suggestion.
Halt smiled pleasantly, a rare smile on his vicissitudes of life, and respectfully gave way.
"Please. β
"Thank you. Let's go, Sun Ziqi. β
"Oh, oh!"
Admittedly, I don't know what happened, but it's always right to follow Xiu. Originally, I thought that Xiu was going to fight with them just now, to be honest, Sun Ziqi Khan almost flowed out, and he had encountered this situation before, but he simply left, and I don't know how Xiu made the city lord approve of them.
"Didn't they just want to drive us away?" Sun Ziqi pointed to the guard behind him, looking dazed.
"Because we're so young, and given our current age of 16, most of us are still only intermediate Dou Qi masters. Therefore, the city lord thought that we were just an intermediate Dou Qi Master who had received the wrong task, and wanted us to leave like this. β
Xiu didn't mind giving Sun Ziqi a glimpse of what had just happened while he was walking.
"The Dou Qi I just used is a mid-level rare Dou Qi, and even an ordinary Great Dou Qi Master can't fully grasp it. And the city lord of every capital, not to mention how powerful the Dou Qi master is, at least he has no shortage of understanding of the Dou Qi, and he can naturally roughly understand what my Dark King said. β
"What does that mean?"
Sun Ziqi asked very cooperatively.
It shows that our strength is at least not inferior to those of those great fighting masters. β
"Oh! Oh, so sharp! If I blow up this city lord's house with one punch, will it also prove my strength? β
"Don't, don't!" Xiu quickly stopped Sun Ziqi's naΓ―ve thoughts, "Just let me do this kind of thing, you can only kill demons together when the time comes." β
If that happens, the names of both of them will be indispensable on the wanted warrant of the Eternal Sun Empire in the future. Xiu now knows why Sun Ziqi has strong strength, but he is still very poor, and it is estimated that he will lose money.
The place where the city lord lives is really impressive, it is true that this unmet city lord has a much better impression on Xiu than those sinister nobles, but the decorations in his house, just pick a few pieces and enough for a few families to make a living for a year.
St James was reviewing the reports written by the citizens today. Usually, there is a problem with the building in one place, where there is an unidentified Douqi Master who is causing trouble, or where a few demons have been found infiltrating the city and causing a riot.
It is true that it was a small matter that was dealt with at that time, but St James not only had to review it, but also asked every official who disposed of it to submit a report and results of the disposal. At the same time, there is also feedback from a small number of citizens, and he has seen it all.
"Both, I was rude before, and I hope to understand. It's been a long time since I've wanted to see such a good young man. Are the two of us the Dou Qi Masters of the Eternal Sun Empire?"
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, St James raised his head slightly, looking at the two teenagers who came in, Sturt was still a little surprised.
"No, no, no, I'm Ling Tian's Magician!"
Sun Ziqi has been an orphan since he was a child and has not been registered in any country, so for him, Ling Xiantian is his home.
"Ling Tian's Dou Qi Master. Repair. β
Xiu didn't know which country he belonged to, Ling Tian's memories were short and long, and then he traveled everywhere with his parents, although it was a trip, but he had never been to any capital, just like Yu Xiaoyao was excellent, let's play in the mountains and rivers.
Xiu didn't know what the standard of a magician was, and it was true that he knew that his combat ability was already at the level of a magician, but he was still just a pure Dou Qi master.
"It turned out to be Ling Tian's congenital, no wonder he was already a great Dou Qi master at a young age, thinking of my nephew, he was much worse than you. I've already explained the details of the quest in the bounty order, and you have already obtained my approval, but you can occasionally complete the quest on your own at any time. β
"Xiu, when did you become a Great Dou Qi Master, why did Long and this city lord think you were a Great Dou Qi Master?"
"Because the level of Dou Qi I use is easy to use by the ability of the Great Dou Qi Master. Xiu shrugged helplessly, "I'm sorry City Lord, I'm just a high-level Dou Qi Master, and I haven't realized that I belong to my own Dou Qi, so I can't be regarded as a Great Dou Qi Master." β
St James suddenly stopped writing in his hand, slowly lifted the head, and looked at Xiu carefully.
"Hello, take the liberty of asking, Ling Tian's Dou Qi Master, Xiu. Are you willing to come into our Eternal Sun Empire, become our commoner, and in the future, you will not only have the compensation of the high-level Dou Qi Master, but I will even be able to give you a compensation alone. β
"Thank you for your kindness, but I like freedom. β
If it weren't for the excellent experience of Yu Xiaoyao, Xiu might have agreed, but thinking of Yu Xiaoyao's excellent manager, Xiu still chose to refuse.
"Yes. Feel free to come to me if you wish. St James, I represent the Empire of the Eternal Sun, and the doors are always open for you. β
On behalf of the Eternal Sun Empire?
This surname is indeed a bit impressive, but it is not these things that Xiu is stable at this time, and he does not want to participate in the affairs between those imperial nobles.
"Thank you. So can we go about the mission now?"
"Definitely. β
Sturt James experienced the bounty order on the cultivator's hand to activate the Fighting Qi Array, and at the same time gave them a temporary circulation card.
This capital is on the border of the Eternal Sun Empire, Aris. With an army composed of 20,000 ordinary people and an elite army composed of 1,000 Douqi Divisions, it can be roughly said that the Eternal Sun Empire attaches great importance to this frontier, surrounded by winding demon mountains, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and at the same time, there is also a "roving lighthouse" that is one of the three general fortresses of the Eternal Sun Empire. It not only has a strong monitoring power, but also a strong prevention power.
After the mountain range, it is the holy land of all Dou Qi masters, Ling Tian, in the whole continent, is in the neutrality of everything, and it does not have any armed strength except for Ling Tian Academy, and Ling Tian Academy was jointly established by the previous monarchs of several major empires, there have been regulations before, Ling Tian Academy's strength is forbidden to be used in any empire.
Therefore, Ling Tian's side was not a threat, only the Tianhua Empire in the southeast and the Huiyue Empire in the southwest posed a threat to them. The other two borders also have two blockades as a precaution. Because the threat to the "Roving Lighthouse" is short-lived, it is also particularly important, not only to protect one's own capital, but also to be ready to stand in solidarity with the other two fortresses at any time.
But now, with the proliferation of demons, many low-level demons, especially those who like to live in groups, often haunt the vicinity, and occasionally encourage attacks on those who are on guard. Admittedly, the losses were minor, but many soldiers were wounded during this time, and they were greatly hindered from their outposts. In the past, I have sent many Douqi divisions in the capital to sort it out, but there are too many of them, and you can't send too many people, and you even have to consider whether this is artificial, whether it is to reduce the combat effectiveness of Arisbon, if the strength in the city is too much, will there be an enemy surprise attack, there are too many factors in this, so you can only issue a bounty order.
Save the strength inside the city and use the power of the unions outside the city to rid yourself of these annoying demons.
Seven or eight kilometers away from Arisbon, there were already woods, and Xiu and Sun Ziqi opened their eyes. It is true that the task list clearly indicates that only hunting 50 low-level demons can be approximate, but this bounty order has an additional reward, which means that the lower limit is 50 demon cores, and the more you kill, the more praise you will get. But there is no clear reward for this kind of task, and it all depends on the mood of the person who entrusts it. But for a bounty order that can be recognized by the guild, the credibility of the trustee is naturally needless to say. Not to mention Ling Tian's guild.
The combined amount of tasks for the two is at least 100 demons.
There are not a few people who look at the demeanor to recover this entrustment, because of its huge quantity, so St James issued several bounty orders at the same time.
When Xiu and Sun Ziqi arrived at the place 10,000 meters outside the city, there were already many people hunting demons, and there were even many people who patted their carrot bags and walked back, looking like they were ready to receive their rewards after completing the task.
"Xiu, how many demons are there, why didn't you find it when you came here before?"
Shi Xiu had already discovered that there were many demons in the vicinity, but he was busy hurrying at the time and deliberately avoided it.
"Go ahead, it's already dark. β
The golden sunset faded, and the darkness enveloped the forest. The Demon Mountain Range, which was already in danger, was even more dangerous at this time, and in the dark night, the perception ability of many Dou Qi masters was reduced, causing many Dou Qi masters to choose to retreat for a while.
"Sun Ziqi, it's dark, does it affect you?"
It turned out to be the cultivation of the dark attribute Douqi Master, and the dark night was a short and long battlefield for him. But for Sun Ziqi, who was not a Dou Qi Master, the situation could be about the same as that of another Dou Qi Master, and it was probably more unfavorable.
When Xiu told him to do it, Sun Ziqi was already running out, and what caught the monkeys on the trees one after another was a burst of hammers, probably because of the anger of the flame-tailed monkey before.
"Ahh Sun Ziqi smiled at Xiu, and shook the monkey's tail at Xiu, "Look at this monkey, it's really ugly, it's not as sharp as the monkeys I've seen before." β
"As wind attribute demons, speed is one of their strengths, and they are not as fast as you, so you naturally think that they are much weaker, and these monkeys are indeed inferior to those monkeys in the Flame Cliff, but they are numerous, and they are more entangled than those in the Flame Cliff. β
"Oh oh!" Sun Ziqi suddenly realized, nodded vigorously, and then seemed to remember something, "By the way, Xiu, at night, why do most Dou Qi masters' perception become weaker." When I was with Tutor Payne, I was only able to learn a little knowledge when I was in the academy, but I was stupid and couldn't learn. Mentor Payne also taught me a lot, but I still haven't remembered it. So the guru told me to go through the battle to memorize those things. But I still don't know why. I don't know how to remember anything. β
