Chapter 683: City of the Dead 2
After listening to Liu'er's words, Shen Lingyue fell into deep thought.
As Liu'er said, coupled with some information she had obtained through Xuanyuan Xi before, Shen Lingyue felt that it should be easier to subdue the City of Death than she had expected before.
Thinking of this, Shen Lingyue asked Liu'er tentatively: "I heard that the Asahi Empire has sent people over several times to serve as the city lord, but those who came to take office all died mysteriously without exception, is this true?"
Liu'er didn't hide it: "These are indeed true, how could the four major families of the City of Death allow the royal family to send people to manage the City of Death?"
Shen Lingyue asked again: "I heard that His Majesty Xuanyuan has given the City of Death to a girl named Shen Lingyue this time, and this Shen Lingyue seems to be about to take office here, do you know?"
Liu'er said disapprovingly: "The City of Death naturally also has spies all over the Asahi Empire, how can you not know it?"
Shen Lingyue said, "Then how do the four major families plan to deal with Shen Lingyue?"
Liu'er didn't answer Shen Lingyue's words, but asked with a smile: "Miss Shen Yue seems to be very concerned about this matter?"
Shen Lingyue smiled without changing her face: "It's not that I care a lot, I should say it's more curious." I heard that this Shen Lingyue is not only not very compatible with His Majesty Xuanyuan, but also does not seem to get along well with the major families in the imperial capital. And it is said that the main reason why she got the City of Death was because His Majesty Xuanyuan wanted to kill her with the hand of the City of Death. ”
Liu'er was stunned for a moment, "The girl knows a lot of things. ”
Shen Lingyue said proudly: "Don't underestimate us, it's not like we haven't made friends when we travel around all these years." ”
Shen Lingyue's performance suddenly dispelled the doubts in Liu'er's heart.
He lowered his voice and said, "Actually, it is said that the four major families are also struggling with this matter now. ”
Shen Lingyue pretended to be surprised and said, "Are they going to let Shen Lingyue go?"
Liu'er shook his head, "Then I don't know, but they shouldn't have made up their minds about how to deal with this matter, but one thing is for sure, they can't let Shen Lingyue come into the City of Death as the city lord."
Over the years, the City of the Dead has been controlled by the four great families, who rotate every three years to control the City of the Dead.
If Shen Lingyue is allowed to sit on the position of city lord, then what will they do? Could it be that they have to listen to the orders of a little girl?
Besides, no matter what, that girl was also sent by His Majesty Xuanyuan, and they still had some concerns in their hearts. ”
Shen Lingyue nodded, and said in her heart that as long as they didn't have too much hostility towards themselves, then this matter would be much easier to do.
Anyway, she couldn't have waited in the City of Death for a long time, and in the end, she had to be handed over to them to be in charge of the City of Death.
Seeing that Shen Lingyue suddenly stopped talking, Liu'er thought that Shen Lingyue would guess how the four major families would deal with Shen Lingyue's affairs.
He smiled and said, "Okay, this matter is not something we can manage?" Or let's talk about you, how long are you going to stay in the City of Death?"
Shen Lingyue thought for a moment and stretched out three fingers, "I plan to stay for three days for the time being, but you have to accompany us throughout the whole process." ”
Liu'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will accompany you throughout the whole process for the next three days to open your eyes." ”
Then he said: "Since you plan to stay here for three days, you should find an inn to stay in first, and then consider where to go." ”
Shen Lingyue naturally had nothing to disagree.
At Shen Lingyue's request, Liu'er took Shen Lingyue and the others to the largest inn in the City of Death, Tongfu Inn.
Before entering the inn, Liu'er whispered: "After you live here, you must be careful what you say, the Tongfu Inn is the property of one of the four major forces in the City of Death.
You can't just talk nonsense when you come here, once you are heard by the other party, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble.
And if you offend anyone in this city of death, you can't offend the four major families, otherwise the death will be ugly. ”
Shen Lingyue nodded, indicating that it had been written down.
After the three of them booked the inn, because it was still early, Liu'er took Shen Lingyue to take a walk outside.
Xuanyuan Xi didn't say a word along the way, but Shen Lingyue and Liu'er chatted happily, which meant that they met very late.
Shen Lingyue asked Liu'er, "Is it really impossible to walk at night?" She had heard that the night scenery in the City of Death was wonderful.
Liu'er said, "The City of the Dead has always restricted outsiders from traveling at night. ”
Shen Lingyue seemed to be a curious baby: "Does the boss know why the City of Hope did this?"
Liu'er shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." ”
Shen Lingyue lowered her voice and asked, "Then can you get permission to go out at night?"
When Liu'er heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then returned to normal.
"Does the girl really want to go out at night?"
Shen Lingyue said with a smile: "Look at what you said, of course our husband and wife came here today to be able to visit the City of Death at night, otherwise what a pity." ”
Liu'er looked embarrassed when he heard this, and said: "Now the whole city is looking for that old man, and when it is so chaotic, I am afraid it will be difficult to get permission." ”
Shen Lingyue said: "Despite this, the boss must have a way, right?"
"If the boss can get permission, then I will double the commission to the boss every day. Shen Lingyue said.
Hearing Shen Lingyue say that he would give double commission, Liu'er was immediately overjoyed, originally a thousand spirit crystals a day was already a ridiculously large number.
Now that Shen Lingyue is willing to double the commission every day, isn't that even more outrageous?
In other words, getting a permit to go out for a night is not as difficult as imagined.
Liu'er himself is a smart and clever person, and he gets along very well with the people of the four major families, but it is not difficult to provide a license.
At that moment, Liu'er agreed to it, but he also made a request, that is, it was no problem for him to do things, but he couldn't let the people who did things for him get nothing, and he had to take care of it.
Liu'er asked Shen Lingyue to take care of the people's spirit crystal.
Shen Lingyue has no objection to this, after all, she is doing things for herself, and she spends a little, and there are not many anyway.
When he agreed, and directly gave Liu'er 10,000 spirit crystals, he told Liu'er that if it was not enough, he would talk about it then.
Liu'er hurriedly put it away with a smile, and then took Shen Lingyue and the others to apply for permission.
The person in charge of handling the permit originally didn't want to apply for permission at this time, but when he saw that Liu'er gave him a lot of low-grade spirit crystals, he gave Shen Lingyue and Xuanyuan Xi permission without saying a word, and told them that there were more things in the City of Death in the past two days, and asked them to go out at night not to cause trouble.
