Chapter 102: Scrapwood City Lord
The two chatted with each other, and the sky outside was gray, and they couldn't tell whether it was day or night.
The sound of ticking water was heard, and the gray sky was torn into a miserable white by the sudden rain curtain.
"The gray rain in this underworld has been getting more frequent lately. The lord frowned as he looked at the puddle of water that was gathering outside the window, and the rainwater inside was also a light gray color.
"Huh?" Wednesday was clearly unaware of the situation, but his face was full of genuine curiosity.
"The underworld is a place of deep resentment, and after the resentment gathers to a certain extent, the gray rain in front of you will appear, this gray rain used to basically appear once in a few years, but now it is the third time this year. The city lord's voice was low.
"Is there nothing that can be done?" Wednesday had apparently understood what the city lord meant.
"Yes, it requires extremely powerful telekinesis to guide and surpass the souls, but unfortunately, there are hundreds of millions of souls in the underworld, and there is no return for this kind of thing, and it is extremely energy-consuming, so far there are fewer and fewer people doing this, compared to the number of souls now, it is really a drop in the ocean. The castle lord's expression changed, and Wednesday could feel the real worry.
"Maybe there will be other ways. Wednesday suddenly remembered the dead pearl that the city lord had given him.
"Hopefully. ”
"I think you should be more worried about Li Meng now. Wednesday stretched hard, the joints crackling all over his body, and slowly walked to the city lord's side, looking at the gray rain outside the window with the city lord.
"Hmph, Dirt Chicken. The corners of the city lord's mouth twitched slightly.
"I hope that's what you say, but if you need my help, just say it. Wednesday patted the city lord on the shoulder.
"Of course, in return, you can give me this place. Wednesday didn't wait for the city lord to speak, he reached out and took out a piece of paper in his pocket and threw it to the city lord.
"Damn, is there anyone more shameless than you?" the city lord glanced at Wednesday.
So, the next day, Wednesday had already lived with Jiang Qi in the house selected by Wednesday.
The area of the house is not very large, but it is definitely not small, with a four-fold courtyard and dozens of houses, although it is not as spacious as the city lord's mansion, it also has everything.
"Little Seven. "Wednesday cleaned up and shouted at the door of a side room.
"What's the matter? Big brother. Xiao Qi's head was still dripping with sweat, and in his hand was a wooden stick the thickness of his arm.
"What's the practice?" Wednesday looked at the sweat on Jiang Qi's face, as well as the arm that was already a little trembling.
"I don't know. ”
"Ahh
"It's like, it's like, it's like there's no realm. Xiao Qi scratched his head and thought with a frown.
"No realm?" Wednesday felt that he was already a stranger, but now looking at the weak-crowned teenager in front of him, it seemed that he was not much worse than himself.
"Hmm. Xiao Qi smiled innocently.
"What moves do you know?" asked Wednesday again.
"Well, yes. ”
"Attack me. ”
"Huh?" Xiao Qi was a little confused.
"Don't worry, your eldest brother can't die, you are so small, you still want to hurt your eldest brother?"
"Oh. Xiao Qi agreed.
"Big brother, are you ready?" Seven steps away, Xiao Qi looked at Wednesday and shouted, his face full of excitement.
"Alright, come on. Wednesday reached out and made a defensive gesture.
"Instant!" Xiao Qi's voice was still a little immature, and his voice was short and high-pitched.
Boom!
Wednesday reached out and grabbed Xiao Qi's stabbing stick, but his eyes were shining.
Your sister, this is too wicked, isn't it?
Wednesday felt that his palm was slightly numb, and, just now, he even grabbed Xiao Qi's chest stab, and more importantly, the guy in Xiao Qi's hand is a wooden stick that can be found in any horn, if this is replaced by those amazing magic weapons, he estimates that he has made this little cub poke out two transparent holes.
"Big brother, am I stupid?" Xiao Qi watched Wednesday slowly spread the wooden stick, and his expression was also unusually dignified.
"Xiao Qi, is there only this thorn in your exercise?" Wednesday didn't answer Xiao Qi, but asked him in turn, because Wednesday seemed to be vaguely aware of something.
"Hmm. Xiao Qi nodded.
Hahahaha......
Wednesday's wild laughter suddenly exploded in the courtyard.
"Xiao Qi, remember, cultivate well, just this thorn, you are enough to step through this nine-turn reincarnation. Wednesday reached out and rubbed Xiao Qi's head a few times.
"Well, good. Xiao Qi agreed, although he still didn't understand what the eldest brother meant.
Early the next morning
Tuk tuk tuk knock sounded on the door, Wednesday, who was admiring Xiao Qi's sword practice in the courtyard, frowned slightly, Xiao Qi also stopped practicing, and the sword roar that had reverberated throughout the courtyard instantly dissipated, and the entire courtyard was quiet.
"What person?" asked Wednesday in a low voice, this place, only the city lord knows. And Wednesday had already refused the maid and servant that the city lord had given him.
"Elder Zhou, the city lord has something to discuss with you. The person who came was obviously very sensible, and what he said did not make Wednesday a little unhappy.
"Well, you go back, I'll be there shortly. Wednesday answered.
A moment later, Wednesday had already taken Xiao Qi to the door of the City Lord's Mansion.
At the moment when he was about to enter the City Lord's Mansion, on Wednesday, he saw several Yin soldiers not far away driving a group of lonely souls, which seemed to be heading in the direction of the barracks.
Soon, the two of them came to the study located in the depths of the City Lord's Mansion, and when they pushed the door open, the City Lord was frowning and staring at the stack of papyrus in front of him.
"What's wrong?" said Wednesday.
"Look. The lord handed over the straw paper in his hand.
"Is this information accurate?" Wednesday read it, and handed the straw paper back to the city lord Long Li.
"Absolutely. ”
"You're not prepared?" Wednesday squinted at the city lord, he didn't believe in such a big thing, although the city lord in front of him was not old, but he was absolutely calculating, he would not have prepared in advance.
"Yes, but unfortunately not enough. The city lord let out a long sigh.
"I didn't expect this Li Meng to have some good friends. Wednesday rubbed his chin with his palm.
"I have long known that Li Meng is the eye he planted next to me, just like the intelligence in front of me, there are my eyes by his side, if it was before, I could easily suppress him, his city is inferior to me in terms of military reserves and materials. "At this moment, the city lord is full of the aura of a king, but unfortunately it only lasts for a moment.
"It's a pity, now after several vicious dog sieges, my reserves are almost exhausted, and his city is not the slightest consumption because it is not a border, I didn't expect ah, I guarded against the vicious dog in front, but ignored the vicious dog behind me. The city lord crushed the information in his hand.
"How many days are left?" asked Wednesday.
"Ten days at most. ”
"This time, as a reward, I need to pick a group of lonely souls by myself. Wednesday pouted at the city lord.
"Hehe, okay, don't say a batch, you can pick any lonely soul in the future. There was a deep shamelessness written on the face of the city lord.
"Hey, how could I meet such a scrap city lord as you. Wednesday shook his head and left with Xiao Qi, behind him was Long Li's heart-rending scolding.
