Chapter 3: The First Arrival in Nashu (Part II)
"To say that the most eye-catching thing on the continent now is that the city lord of Naxu is collecting ancient books everywhere, if you have a book with a long history, send it to him immediately, and it is guaranteed to be sold at a good price, you must know that there was once a commoner who relied on an ancient book to sell a hundred alum, and he didn't have to worry about food and clothing in this life!"
This person's words caused everyone to exclaim, they were unheard of about selling books, what books were so valuable, it was like pie in the sky, and a few greedy people couldn't help but ask the doubts in their hearts.
"As long as it is relatively ancient, it is best to go back thousands of years ago, of course it is the best, everyone also knows that the city lord of Naxu is the most learned person on the mainland, he has been reading since he was a child, and the books that can arouse his interest can naturally be sold at a good price, which one has a book that thinks it is better, hurry up to Naxu City, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it if it's late, now there are many people rushing to Naxu City, and the city lord of Naxu City also invited the city lords of each city to be guests, maybe you can see a few nobles with dark blue eyes? See how they are different from us!" The people who were surrounded shouted to the people around them, and the people were so moved by what he said that they had left in a hurry, and went home to see what valuable books they had.
"Do you think what he said is true?" Zilong turned to the two and asked, he always felt that this matter was weird, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with him, and the one that had the most to do with him was probably the Seven Tribal Canon, but the Seven Tribal Canon had already been obtained by him, two were snatched by the Tianji Gate, and the remaining one was in the hands of the Roushui Clan, how could this continent exist.
"It's true that the city lord of Naxu likes books, and he has a grasp of ancient and modern history and literature, I'm afraid that no one knows anything better than him in the Lixi Continent, it is said that the books in his house have been piled up in a large study room, I'm afraid that he has come up with such a method after reading it now, anyway, the city lord of Naxu can't spend a lot of money, and it's not impossible to collect some books!" Rio Luo, like Karachisi, knows a lot about the celebrities and nobles on the mainland.
Rio Luo's words made Zilong interested in this Naxu city lord, a person who loves literature and history must have done a lot of research on that period of history thousands of years ago, after all, it was a major event that affected the Lixi Continent, and he didn't know if he could find some clues from his mouth, and now Zilong no longer knew what he was looking for, whether it was Zilong's past or his own life experience, he only knew that Zilong had a very important connection with himself, as long as he understood Zilong's true identity, then the doubt of who he was would be solved, so as long as it was about Zilong, history was within the scope of his search。
Zilong decided to go to Naxu City to have a look and talk to this knowledgeable city lord, of course, this is not the most important reason, even if the city lord of Naxu is rich, I am afraid that it is not as good as the library of Gada Academy, and Zilong does not have much hope for the harvest obtained from him, there is another reason for him to make this decision, he broke into the forbidden land of Gada Academy, and now the academy and Tianjia are probably looking for him, wouldn't returning to the academy be self-defeating, so he needs to change his goal, not to mention, from Zi Qianhua's attitude towards himself, he has already learned about the impact of his arrival on the fifty-two city lords, and even this continent。
Once the pure blue eyes appear, it also means that the fifty-two city lords will lose their supremacy, which can be seen from Zi Qianhua's attitude towards himself, even if he is the first city lord, he must be respectful in front of himself, not to mention the other city lords, he doesn't believe that there are no selfish people in these city lords, if the previous fifty-two city lords are to maintain a balanced situation, then his appearance will inevitably disturb a pool of spring water.
Because in these thousands of years, the fifty-two city lords have the same status and enjoy the same honor, so in order to maintain a balance, even if there are people with bad intentions, they can't set off a big storm, but when one person stands on the head of these fifty-two people, it is very good to unite them, and then he is very likely to become the target of the public, which may be the reason why Zi Qianhua guards against himself, and it is also the reason why he continues to explore his own background.
Based on this idea, before his identity was revealed, he had to take a good look at the attitudes of these city lords, so that he could take precautions and prepare in advance, and this banquet of the city lord was the best time for him to achieve his goal.
Once the decision was made, Zilong's mood relaxed, and he told the two of them his decision, and several people returned to the 'hotel' to rest for one night, preparing to go out the next day.
After ten days of marching on the grassland, several people finally arrived at the city of Nasu, which was different from the magnificence of the city of Gada and the desolation of the city of Junjia, the prosperity of the city of Nasu could not be imagined, which can be seen from the long queues of vendors and luxurious and elegant shops on the streets, as well as the crowds of people who came and went in the shops.
Tired, Qixiang, who had experienced the pain of fatigue, also forgot her tiredness at this time, and her small figure threw herself into the crowd, looking east and west at the various stalls, staring at the strange gadgets with curious eyes, and couldn't look away for a long time, several people who were worried about Qixiang's safety hurried to catch up, this little girl who loved her was loved by several people, and Rio Luo, a new member, spoiled her even more, just because Qixiang said a sentence after listening to his few hums: "Brother, your singing voice is so powerful......"
Choosing a hotel as a temporary place to stay, a few people settled lunch and prepared to visit the lord of the city of Naxu, the lord of the city of Nasu is called Ourut, and people from the outside world call him Lute, it is rumored that he is very approachable, and treats the civilians of Nasu City very gently, and is deeply loved by the people of Naxu City.
However, even if Rout is peaceful, it is so easy for ordinary civilians to enter the door of his mansion, after all, Rout is not only the lord of a city, but also the most noble nobleman, and his noble status makes him always look high and intimidating.
Standing in front of the city lord's mansion and looking at the gate that was more than ten meters high, Zilong finally thoroughly understood the life of the nobles, and even the gate was made so luxuriously, seeing that these nobles were really "very expensive".
It seems that it is not easy to see Lot, especially now that the nobles from all over the country are rushing to Nasu City, Lut will not easily meet the civilians, but that is only for others, but the three of Zilong have a way to let this noble city lord take some time to meet them.
When Zilong, Karachith and Rioro took out their nameplates at the same time and showed them in front of the guard guarding the door, the signs of the three top servants seriously stimulated his nerves, and the disdain on his face disappeared in an instant, and after passing from white to blue, turning black, and then returning to his original complexion, the ugly face was replaced by a flattering smile.
The three of Zilong were invited into the reception room, and the guards hurriedly reported the news to the city lord, when Root heard the report of the subordinates, he couldn't believe his ears, he asked the subordinates over and over again if anyone was wrong, and when the subordinates took their lives to ensure their correctness, Lut straightened his clothes and strode towards the reception room.
Although the footsteps are very regular, but Lut's heart is uneasy, although they are the most noble people on the Lixi Continent, but in the face of the strong, their self-esteem does not allow them to gain any benefits, each of the fifty-two city lords is recruiting masters, and they have great respect for the strong people on the mainland, and the famous powerhouses in the mainland are naturally those who have not seen the true face of the five top servants, each of these city lords is willing to spend a huge fortune to recruit them, but no matter how they look for them, they can't see these people, and now these five people have appeared three at once, and they haven't gotten any news in advance, which makes how can Root not be shocked.
What is their purpose? Could it be that the other city lords have sent them to kill their own limelight, or are they going to take refuge in themselves...... Countless thoughts flashed through Rutt's mind, but he couldn't grasp anything?
The door of the reception room appeared in his sight in the blink of an eye, and he exhaled deeply, returning to his previous aristocratic appearance, and gently pushed open the white door.
"Welcome to the city of Nasu, I, the lord of Nasu City, Orut!" said Rute with a smile that did not show the slightest flaw.
Although Root's behavior is very natural, Zilong feels Root's hidden uneasiness in the depths, and even feels that Root's is a little mysterious, this middle-aged city lord is like a rumor, has a face that makes people feel warm at first sight, and the elegant face makes people not have any disgusting thoughts, but that is only on the surface, compared to Naruto's natural feeling, Root's smile will only make Zilong feel hypocritical, and even his impression of this city lord has dropped a lot.
Hiding the feeling in his heart, Zilong pretended to be very honored, and said with an elegant attitude: "It should be a great honor for us to meet the honorable city lord, is the city lord really as approachable as the outside world says?
Zilong's mouth spit out a series of words of praise, which made Root very useful, and let out a hearty laugh, politely letting the three of them sit down.
"I don't know what advice the three of you have for coming to the Humble House!" After some pleasantries, Rout finally rushed into the main body and asked the question in his heart.
"I don't dare to give advice, but I heard that the city lord is going to hold a very grand banquet recently, inviting the nobles on the mainland to participate, and we small people in the market also want to see a gathering between the nobles, I don't know if it!" Zilong said with his eyes staring at Lut.
"This is a banquet between nobles, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Although he was very jealous of the strength of the three of them, the dignity of the nobles told him that these three people were not qualified to participate in the banquet.
Root's refusal was already expected by Zilong, and he didn't speak, his eyes under his sunglasses shot a fierce gaze, deliberately exuding a powerful momentum.
The huge pressure came, and Root hurriedly tried to stop it with the strength of his whole body, but as soon as the power came out of his body, he felt a spiritual force that seemed to have substance, and in an instant, his brain was like being knocked by an awl, and a sharp pain came, and a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. Although he was unwilling, Rute immediately thought that this was a good opportunity to win over the three of them, so it was better to sell his favor by offering flowers to the Buddha.
"However, you think you are attending as my special guest!" Thinking about the stakes, Root immediately changed his tone, and at the same time made up his mind to introduce the three of them to the other nobles in the name of special guests at the banquet, so in the eyes of the other nobles, the three of them are their own people, and when the time comes, the other city lords may not be able to underestimate him.
Root's wishful thinking dragon three people also guessed, they did not reveal it, after accepting the four invitations sent by Root, they said goodbye and left, when walking through the courtyard of the city lord's mansion, which can be called a large park, several people saw one after another luxury motor cars driving into the courtyard, and from the open door stepped down one after another noble young men and young ladies with their heads held high, and their eyes were exposed to the air, revealing a kind of pride......
