Chapter 168: The City Lord's Request
"Young man! Are you really seeing something? β
Qu Xiangyuan, the lord of Sanda City, looked at the constantly changing expression on Feng Ye's face at this time, but the look on his face instantly became a little excited.
And because of the sudden appearance of his voice, Feng Ye also came back to his senses in an instant.
However, what the city lord Qu Xiangyuan obviously didn't notice was that the wind at this moment was actually frowning.
"What's going on, it's only been a few months since I last saw this thing. But now, among the surging dark clouds above the giant tower, there were actually a lot of dazzling blue thunderbolts. It is said that this giant tower represents the luck of the entire spirit control world. But now that this vision is prominent, is there any such thing as it......"
After Feng Ye quickly thought about it for a few seconds, he still said half-truths.
"City Lord, I seem to be able to faintly see some mirage-like scenery from that cloud and mist."
"What the hell do you see?"
Feng Ye looked at Qu Xiangyuan's concerned eyes, but his thoughts were still flipping in his heart.
"I saw a huge black tower towering between heaven and earth."
As soon as the old city lord heard Feng Ye's words, his expression instantly became even more anxious.
"That's right! That's the legendary Tower of Babel. You really didn't live up to the old man's hard work. You can help the old man carefully observe the surroundings of the giant tower and see if there is anything unusual. β
After hearing his words, Feng Ye had to turn around again and look towards the air in the east.
But strangely, this time, he couldn't see anything else in the cloud in front of him!
Feng Ye rubbed his eyes in disbelief for a moment, and then said helplessly.
"City Lord, I'm sorry! Now I don't seem to be able to see the mirage anymore. β
"Oh, is that so? It seems that it is your cultivation that prevents you from seeing everything 'above' all the time. However, through this simple verification, I learned that you really have this special ability. But the old man was already very happy about this. β
Having said that, Feng Ye saw a look of loss on Qu Xiangyuan's face.
"City Lord, the kid has always been puzzled. With your identity, isn't it possible to deliver a letter directly to the Temple of the Divine King? Then it shouldn't be difficult for you to know the local situation, right? Why bother to find such a person? β
Actually, Feng Ye has always been very puzzled about this.
But what he didn't expect was that Qu Xiangyuan, who had always greeted people with a smiling face, suddenly said with a serious face: "It can be." But this one round trip, even if it is a quick horse, will take more than a month. β
Feng Ye was a little stunned by this answer.
"Don't the Moss have railroads? How far is it, how can it be so slow? β
"Just as the people of Sanda City don't trust the Moss tribe, the Divine King Palace's so-called industrial civilization created by the Moss tribe is only superficial."
After Qu Xiangyuan finished saying this, he also looked at Feng Ye with extremely indifferent eyes. And just this glance made Feng Ye react instantly: this is the posture that the patriarch of the Qu clan, who has regarded himself as an immortal since ancient times, should have.
However, at this time, Qu Xiangyuan's words were obviously not finished.
"In our opinion, the Moss are a group of people who want to gain more power by tricks every day. But this is contrary to us practitioners. β
After hearing his words, Feng Ye finally began to understand the reason why the locals of Sanda City hated the Moss people: it turned out that the wealthy Moss clan was just opportunistic businessmen in the eyes of the people of the Sanda Array mage!
Feng Ye frowned, and then spoke again.
"Then since the Moss train can't enter the God-King's Palace, isn't there still a teleportation array? Doesn't that thing only need a blink of an eye to get to the designated place? β
But after his words fell, Qu Xiangyuan smiled again: "Hehe! Little brother, you are so young and naΓ―ve! You must know that not everyone is as rich as the Mossians, and they can spend that large number of soul stones as cabbage in our spirit realm. β
"Oh!" When Feng Ye was in this world, he had no concept of money. Therefore, at this moment, he could only show a puzzled expression and scratch his head.
And Qu Xiangyuan City Lord saw his reaction, but he smiled at him again.
"It seems that you still don't understand the value of soul stones? Then I'll give you an example! Last time, in order to go to Savor to meet you, Zihan spent a whole year's savings just for the cost of taking the teleportation array. With such examples, can you understand the value of things like soul stones in our entire spirit control world? β
And Feng Ye, who heard these words, immediately opened his mouth in shock. But nothing could be said.
Even if he doesn't have any concept of money, Feng Ye still knows the value of the soul stones in this world, which is very expensive! Ordinary people can only use soul power as bargaining chips for trading. And now, he is even poorer. In his pocket, he didn't even have a soul stone equal to 1,000 soul power.
"Little brother, I'm really bothering you today. It seems that in the future, the old man will have to bother you to come and help me more. β
Hearing this, Feng Ye was so shocked that he immediately waved his hand: "Thank you very much for the cultivation of the city lord." However, I'm going to be touring around the spirit world with our troupe. I can't do what you ask! β
"Hehe, it's not a big problem for you to stay on my Quyu Mountain! As long as the old man wants to, he can do it. Just say hello to the kid from the Sima family, no. Presumably, the Sima family will not fail to give the old man this face. β
After Qu Xiangyuan finished saying this, he immediately looked at Feng Ye with meaningful eyes.
Feeling the courage of the old city lord who was not angry and arrogant, Feng Ye rolled his eyes in an instant.
"City Lord, this request of yours is not impossible to consider. It's just that the spiritual power I have cultivated for a long time is only enough to see this thing for a moment. Then my cultivation progress will definitely be slowed down by this world. β
The moment Feng Ye's words fell, the smile on the old city lord's face disappeared again.
"If the world is for one person, it is forced. But if it is for the sake of the common people of this world, it is public morality. You'd better accede to the old man's request. β
