Chapter 17: The Celestial Chamber of Commerce's Overtures
"Brave Lord?!"
Yulina was obviously surprised when she saw the holy sword that Lu Ming took out, of course their elves also recognized this holy sword, and they also knew what this holy sword meant.
Just looking at Yulina's appearance, it seemed that she had something to say, but before she could open her mouth, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the room.
"Excuse me, does Mr. Brave live here?"
A low male voice sounded outside the door, attracting Lu Ming's attention.
He heard that the other party was referring to himself with the words 'Lord Brave', which showed that the other party could only be two kinds of people.
One is the people from the kingdom, and the other is the people from the Sky Chamber of Commerce, others have no ability to track him down here, after all, after he knew that the people in the royal capital knew the holy sword, he specially asked Lifa for a sword bag to load the holy sword.
Lu Ming motioned for Lifa to open the door, and there were several guys dressed as magicians standing outside the door.
"Who are you?"
When Lifa saw these people, she asked with a cold face, these people are all a bit of a level among humans, although she is not afraid of anything, but she doesn't want such a low-level guy to challenge the authority of the Demon King.
"We have no ill will."
The man at the head has obviously reached the level of a magician, and his level is not low, more than eighty levels, which is already close to Yulina's level.
"We are the people of the Sky Chamber of Commerce."
These people first pointed to the magic medal on their chests to identify themselves, and then took out a purple crystal brand that Lu Ming was somewhat familiar with.
"Our Chamber of Commerce intends to befriend the Brave Lord, please help me convey to the Brave Lord, our Sky Chamber of Commerce, we are willing to pay the price of 10 million gold coins in exchange for the Brave Lord and our common front."
Lifa was about to refuse, but suddenly her face was stunned, and she took the sign in embarrassment.
Because Lu Ming just sent a message to her and asked her to accept this 'bribe'.
Seeing the brave maid take the gold coin, the few people from the Sky Chamber of Commerce outside suddenly showed a knowing smile:
"Then, don't bother, please remind the brave lord that the palace banquet is about to start, and the person in charge of our chamber of commerce has already entered the palace, and I will rush over next."
These people came and went quickly, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
And Lifa had already returned to Lu Ming's side, and asked a little strangely:
"My lord, why should we accept this thing, those people don't even ...... your idea"
Lu Ming shook his head and said indifferently:
"Just take what they want and see what this Sky Chamber of Commerce wants to do."
From the beginning of the auction, these people from the Sky Chamber of Commerce expressed great interest in making friends with themselves, and they ignored them and already indicated that they wanted to refuse, but they didn't expect them to post it again.
At the same time, they constantly want to get close to themselves, and anyone with a discerning eye can see their problems, and they are too anxious.
They can take their time and brush up on their good feelings once in a while, and Lu Ming can also see it, but coming to him several times a day will make people feel bored.
The Sky Chamber of Commerce risked being hated by him to do this, which meant that they didn't have time to take their time, and if it wasn't right, there would be problems at the palace banquet tonight.
"It's almost time, let's just get ready to leave for the banquet."
Lu Ming glanced at the clock, it was already six o'clock at the moment, plus the time spent going to the palace, he was already ready to travel.
"Yulina, how about you stay and watch the house? It's a rare time for us to rent a hotel and stay here when we come back from the banquet. ”
The first half of the sentence is asking Yulina, and the second half is about Lifa.
Lifa naturally nodded and obeyed Lu Ming's arrangement, but Yulina's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she also nodded slightly, looking a little absent-minded.
Seeing this, Lifa's sharp eyes glanced straight at her, but she didn't expect to be stopped by Lu Ming.
"Alright, Lifa, you come with me to the palace banquet."
Lu Ming patted the maid on the shoulder, didn't say anything more, and walked out of the room first.
Seeing this, Lifa flicked her fingers, not knowing what magic she had released, and then followed Lu Ming.
Seeing that both of them were out of the room, Yulina slowly crouched down in the corner, biting her lip tightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Outside, thanks to a few gold coins in the Brave's package, Lu Ming had already rented a carriage with Lifa and drove towards the palace.
According to the groom, it took them about an hour to reach the royal palace.
Along the way, Lu Ming closed his eyes in the carriage to recuperate, and only Lifa beside him always looked nervous.
This is the first time she has traveled with the Demon King, and in the past, the safety of the Demon King was protected by the future of the Four Great Wars, but this time she was replaced by a maid who was twice as low as her level, and Lifa was under a lot of pressure.
Suddenly, Lifa's tense body shook as if it had been disconnected.
Without waiting for Lifa to say anything, Lu Ming on the side had already opened his eyes and said lightly:
"It's Yulina who ran out."
Lifa was stunned for a moment, and told the truth:
"Yes, Lord Demon, she left our room in the hotel."
She had used a probing spell in her hotel room, and she could receive messages from anyone entering or leaving, even if she was far away.
Moreover, the advanced point of this magic is that anyone who touches this magic will be contaminated with the breath of this magic, and she can find it wherever she goes.
"Lord Demon King, what are we going to do with that elf?"
Lifa thought that Yulina must have escaped, and the Demon King believed in her so much that he left her alone in the hotel to watch her family, but she didn't expect her to take the opportunity to slip away.
This is absolutely unforgivable.
What Lifa didn't expect was that Lu Ming didn't answer her question, but said softly to himself:
"She went to the Sky Chamber of Commerce to take revenge, even if she is smart, she eavesdropped on the conversation between you and those magicians of the Sky Chamber of Commerce, and knew that at this moment, the strong people of the Sky Chamber of Commerce have all gone to the palace banquet, and the current branch of the Sky Chamber of Commerce is when they are the most vulnerable."
Lifa was a little surprised, she didn't expect this to be the case, she didn't doubt the speculation of the Demon King, she was only responsible for believing in the Demon King, and then she could just obey the order:
"So what are you going to do now?"
Lu Ming was silent for a moment before telling her:
"You go and protect her secretly, and remember not to let her be hurt."
Then Lu Ming closed his eyes again, rested on the seat of the carriage, and added casually:
"She'll come back, and if she doesn't, there's no point in keeping her."
"Yes, Lord Demon."
After Lifa received the order, she disappeared into the carriage in an instant.
Leaving Lu Ming alone in the carriage, he gradually arrived at the palace.
"My lord, the palace has arrived."
Approaching the entrance to the palace, the groom turned around and called him, but after speaking, he was stunned, why is this guest missing?
However, before he could be surprised, Lu Ming had already paid the money and left his sight.
