40. Spiritual servant
"This time it's really thanks to Little Brother Lin, Little Brother Lin, you ......"
Hongxi, who returned to Beimo City with four carriages and came back early, had already reported the matter of Lin Nan and others to Hongxin.
In fact, Hong Xin's speech ended on the day Lin Nan and the others arrived at the Sichuan Desert Checkpoint, Hong Xi was on the way back to Beimo City, and happened to meet Hong Xin who was still flying in the sky.
But when Hong Xin and Du Mao saw Lin Nan's cultivation, they couldn't help but be surprised.
Didn't you build the first floor? When you go out and come back in a few days, why are you on the fourth floor?
"It's mainly because of the City Lord's Mansion and the people from the Huxin Sect, otherwise there is no way to save people back. ”
Lin Nan is also telling the truth, if there is a shortage of manpower and forcibly snatches, maybe the other party will threaten the lives of civilians, but there is no way to guarantee the safety of everyone.
"Little Brother Lin is humble, and my guard also said that if it weren't for the Endless Gate, maybe the people in my mansion, as well as my friends from the Huxin faction, would have suffered heavy losses. ”
Du Mao thought about it in his heart and felt afraid, if it weren't for Shen Yun to see the cultivation of those people, if it weren't for Lin Nan's superior combat power, maybe Du Cang and Feng Yang would have to be lost in the hands of Sun Zheng.
"Since City Lord Du said so, then I will be disrespectful. ”
Lin Nan can also think of what would happen if he didn't have the participation of his own people this time, just say polite words, of course this time it is his own credit.
After arguing with Du Mao, Du Mao had no time to accompany Lin Nan and them, and more than 100 people still needed Du Mao to arrange, not only to appease everyone's emotions, but also to send them home one by one, but Du Mao was busy.
"Brother Hong. ”
Du Mao left, and Lin Nan found Hong Xin.
"Brother Linnan has something to say, I have to say it to my face. ”
Hong Xin was about to leave three days ago, if he hadn't happened to meet Hong Xi and received the news from Hong Xi that Lin Nan was going to negotiate a deal with Hong Xin, Hong Xin would not have stayed and waited.
"I have already borrowed a quiet place from City Lord Du, and I have to discuss this matter privately with Brother Hong. ”
Lin Nan and Hong Xin left, leaving behind a confused Endless Gate crowd.
"Second Senior Brother, do you know what Senior Brother is doing with my Third Brother?"
Hong Xi pulled Shen Yun and asked.
"I don't know, but Senior Brother has his arrangement, and if he wants to talk about it, he will naturally tell us. ”
Shen Yun shook his head, Lin Nan hadn't mentioned it at all before, how could he know what they were discussing.
Waiting, just waited for an hour, looking at the expressions of Lin Nan and Hong Xin, it seemed that they were very satisfied with the conversation, and Hong Xin didn't stay long, and left directly on the edgeworth, Hong Xin, who had been delayed for three days, could only grab time on the road.
Du Cang and the others were a day slower than Lin Nan before returning to the Northern Desert City, and Lin Nan saw that the corpses of those evil cultivators were also brought back by them.
Fortunately, there were not too many casualties this time, and the City Lord's Mansion and the Huxin Sect had injured a total of four people, and the price paid was already very small.
The sacrificed people were ceremoniously buried, and Du Cang said that he would take care of their families, and he spent the whole day busy, and if he wanted to arrange a banquet, he could only wait until the second day.
During this period, Lin Nan went to the Treasure Pavilion, and the golden ticket of one hundred taels stayed in Lin Nan's arms for less than a week, and then ran into Zhao Xing's pocket, which made Lin Nan feel distressed, but thinking about the unequal treaty he signed, Lin Nan could only accept it painfully.
On the second day of Du Cang's return, five carriages came from the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, from the most ordinary bronze ore to the Xuantie Starfall for refining magic weapons.
But although Lin Nan was receiving the goods, the expression on his face was not very happy, and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion who saw it felt strange, obviously what he bought, what was he not happy about.
There is a reason for being unhappy, thinking that from now on, it is estimated that he will have to stay in the refining room for at least a month, how can Lin Nan be happy.
The banquet was only placed in the city lord's mansion, and only six people from the Endless Gate were invited, several important people from the Huxin faction, and two guests from Huanghua Wang Ping.
Although it is a banquet hero, but over the years, five thousand people have disappeared in the Northern Desert Region, which is the rupture of nearly five thousand families, so Du Mao felt that this matter should not be publicized, so he paid out of his own pocket and invited everyone.
After a meal, Lin Nan finally realized that the banquet was actually a social occasion.
Huxin faction, the city lord's mansion kept coming to Lin Nan's table to toast, except for Caitong and Guo Yu, Lin Nan and the others completely relied on cultivation to survive, they didn't eat much, but they drank a few catties of wine, and there was only Hongxi, a bottomless pit, and one person contracted eighty percent of the meals on the table.
The next day, after bidding farewell to Du Mao Ducang, Lin Nan and his entourage returned to the Endless Gate, and Caitong's father, Wuping, was naturally taken up the mountain by Lin Nan and others.
But faced with a new problem, Uping is in the endless gate and can't move freely.
The Phantom Array of the Endless Gate covers all the areas above the halfway point of the Great Wilderness Mountain, and if you want to move freely in the Phantom Array, you must either crack the Phantom Array or hold the token of the Endless Gate.
But Wu Ping is old, Lin Nan has also tested it for him, and the spiritual root in his body has almost dissipated, although it is not that he cannot cultivate, but the resources that need to be consumed are enough for Lin Nan to cultivate, besides, Wu Ping himself does not seem to want to step into the immortal path.
"To see Caitong again, I am already very satisfied, for other things, I have no extravagant hope, if the endless door can not stay, then I will go down the mountain, plant a piece of land, Caitong has nothing to do, just go down the mountain to see me. ”
Wu Ping's original words were like this, but in Caitong's hopeful eyes, Lin Nan said another way to stay in the Endless Gate.
"Actually, if you become a spiritual servant of the Endless Gate, you can move freely in the Endless Gate, but at the cost of never being able to step out of the Endless Gate again. ”
As for the matter of the spiritual servant, only Lin Nan, who has thoroughly studied all the functions in the Endless Gate, knows about it, as for the others, except for cultivation, they either make sugar, eat sugar, grow vegetables, read books, or eat vegetables, and no one knows about their sect at all.
In everyone's puzzled eyes, Lin Nan explained.
No matter which sect it is, it needs to have grassroots personnel, the cultivation of spiritual plants, the breeding of spiritual animals, the environmental sanitation in the sect, and the diet and daily life of disciples all need manpower.
Now there are only six people in the Endless Gate, so they will naturally take care of it, if there are more disciples in the future, will it be impossible to have all the disciples to deal with the groceries in addition to cultivation.
Therefore, one of the functions of the Endless Gate is to be able to sign a contract with someone who does not have cultivation qualifications, so that he can become the spiritual servant of the Endless Gate, and be responsible for the logistics of the Endless Gate.
The contract is established, unless the spirit servant dies, he can only be a spirit servant in the Endless Gate in this life, and the spirit servant also has the possibility of promotion, I will not explain it one by one here, and in the future, after Lin Nan and others cultivate to improve, they will use more functions of the Endless Gate.
"In that case, then I'll become a spiritual servant of the Endless Gate, and I am so grateful to you Lin Nan for being able to accompany Caitong to grow up. ”
Wu Ping said excitedly, I thought I could only go down the mountain, I don't know how long it would take to meet Caitong once, but now I still have the opportunity to stay, it's just amazing.
"Uncle Wu doesn't need to be like this, since he has decided to stay, he has to call me senior brother according to the rules of my endless gate. ”
There are no rules, there is no circle, since you have entered the Endless Gate, you have to follow the rules of the Endless Gate, the spirit servant belongs to the lower level of the Endless Gate, and when you see all the disciples of the Endless Gate, you have to call yourself a senior brother and sister.
Although the spirit servant belongs to the Endless Gate, he also needs to sign a contract with one of the disciples in the Endless Gate.
After the token absorbed the blood, a colorful pattern appeared on Wuping's forehead, showing which disciple the spirit servant belonged to.
"Then from today onwards, it will be troublesome for Uncle Wu to bear the burden of the big and small chores in this endless gate. ”
"Yes, big brother. ”
Just like Caitong's entry that day, Wu Ping's answer is exactly the same as Caitong.
A month later, when Lin Nan walked out of the refining room with the skin of a national treasure, he saw Wuping waiting outside the door.
"Senior brother, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has sent someone. ”
