124. Message
The stars in the night sky twinkled quietly, the bright moon hung high, Zhao Yuan looked at the sky a little dazed, he remembered the sky of his hometown, which was always dyed by the lights, bustling and noisy. That was what he was most tired of, but now he thinks about it with a sad nostalgia.
He felt more and more that he was very similar to his father. In the past, he was disgusted with his father's indifference to the company's employees, and he was also disgusted with his vicious attacks on business opponents, but now Zhao Yuan feels that the world is respected by the strong, and the law of the jungle is an eternal law. As a strong man, he can trample on the rules at will, because the rules are originally made by his heart. The so-called justice is also his will. If he wants to punish the Starlits, then they have to be next to each other, if he doesn't plan to take care of this, Starlit and they will sell Joshua, no one will care, but they will be prosperous and happy because of this money. In this world, only the strong have the final say, and the weak have no right to speak. Looking at the starry sky, Zhao Yuan sighed faintly.
At some point, the cold air began to smell of fresh blood, and a few terrible screams sounded outside the silent night, giving people goosebumps. I don't know how long it took, but there was a gradually clear footstep behind Zhao Yuan.
"Lord Zhao Yuan, thank you for giving me this opportunity to take revenge. There was an indescribable taste in Qing Yue's male voice, Zhao Yuan frowned slightly, and looked back.
The beautiful elf, dressed in moonlight, is more delicate and perfect than the person in the painting, as if the creator himself has drawn his eyebrows and filled in the color of his lips. And his light purple eyes had regained their former gentle look, and he was looking at Zhao Yuan with a smile. Zhao Yuan looked at him, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.
"You don't have to thank me for helping you get revenge," Zhao Yuan said to him, "You should thank me for giving you the opportunity to return to the elven race." β
Joshua was stunned, but there was still a gentle smile in his eyes: "Yes, Lord Zhao Yuan, thank you for giving me the opportunity to return to the elven clan, you are a grace to me to recreate." β
Zhao Yuan glanced at him deeply, did not speak, turned around and got into the carriage. Joshua followed suit. By the time they returned to Saifei City, it was already twilight.
In a tall tower in the center of Saifei City, an old man who was like a giant bell suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes seemed to penetrate the void and looked in Zhao Yuan's direction.
"Pretty polite......," said the old man, muttering to himself, and then closed his eyes cross-legged, as if asleep.
The rule of Saifei City is that no fights and killings are allowed in the city, but such a rule is the same for an eighth-order archmage like Zhao Yuan, even if he kills someone, the strong people guarding Saifei City can't do anything to him. But Zhao Yuan still chose to toss a little more and took people out of Saifei City, which can be regarded as a kind of respect for the great martial artists who are guarding here.
Zhao Yuan originally wanted to personally send Joshua back to the Elven Forest after finishing this while, but he didn't expect Joshua to write a letter and send it back to the Elven Clan, so when Zhao Yuan opened the door early in the morning and found two Elves standing outside, he was startled.
"I have something important to rush back to the elf clan immediately, thank you Lord Zhao Yuan for taking care of me during this time. Joshua bowed deeply to Zhao Yuan, and left with the two elves who had come to pick him up.
Zhao Yuan didn't understand why Joshua was in such a hurry to go back at first, but soon, he knew why.
"Have you heard? The elves actually announced that they were going to expand their territory, asking the grass clad clan closest to them to give up part of their territory!"
"Oh my God, are those elves crazy? If they dare to go out of the Elven Forest, they are not afraid of being caught and sold in Saifei City?"
"You're all old Huang Li, I heard that there are actually three eighth-order powerhouses in the elf clan! three! more than the Dragon Valley clan!"
"You don't lie to people and don't make a draft, just the small body of the elf clan, there are also three eighth-order powerhouses, and they haven't produced an eighth-order powerhouse for tens of thousands of years. β
"Why am I lying to you, if they didn't have so many eighth-order powerhouses, would they dare to do this?"
"There's a bit of a point to what you say......"
Zhao Yuan listened to the discussions of the passers-by, and his brain crashed for a moment - the elf clan actually broke through the eighth order in such a short period of time? Xiweier, this elf king, is really not covered, it is actually so strong!
But he couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart, the elf clan was not a member of the beast clan, even if the beast god did not interfere, the dragon valley clan and the mammoth clan still had a ninth-order powerhouse. If the elves leave the range of the elder's protection......
However, Zhao Yuan also knew that it was in vain for her to worry about it here, and Xavier would have her own considerations. Instead of bothering about these, it's better to get your own things done.
The Black Rose's business is just as good day and night. When Zhao Yuan visited Black Rose again, Asha almost didn't recognize him.
"Little brother, how did you become like this?" Asha asked with a smile. She is still as cold and sexy as ever, exuding a mysterious color. Today's Zhao Yuan has almost changed as a person, except for a pair of black eyes exposed, his face is all covered by a thick beard, and his body is also wrapped in thick, bloody animal fur, which looks like a fierce primitive person, and it is completely impossible to see that this is a human race. The surrounding orcs all felt the momentum of a fifth-order martial artist on him, and several orcs who originally thought he had a big taste hurriedly turned their heads away, not daring to talk about it anymore.
Zhao Yuan didn't gossip with her either, and went straight to the point: "Asha, I want to buy news of a snake clan named Sherman." β
"Sherman? I know him, he bought the news of the Ice Crystal Phoenix Lotus from me for a lot of money two months ago...... I heard that there was an abnormal situation in the alchemy room two days ago, maybe it was him, and this news was sent to you for free. β
Zhao Yuan almost blurted out: "I made that movement." But he took it in a moment, and looked up at Asha.
"Hey, what a smart little brother, I'm not fooled. Asha didn't care about being stared at by Zhao Yuan like that, and said with a smile. "Okay, okay, as an apology, I'll tell you a piece of news for free: Sherman has been looking for a Xuanwu type of demonic beast recently, and it is said that he wants to take him as a demonic pet. But I don't understand what is the use of him as a snake clan wanting a Xuanwu to be a demon pet, and they will be frozen to sleep in the ice and snow together?"
When Zhao Yuan heard the word "Xuanwu", a fine light flashed in his eyes. With a smile on his face, he chatted with Asha as he ordered a glass of wine called Scarlet Melody at Asha's recommendation.
"What, is Xuanwu a very rare magical beast?"
Asha shook her head: "Xuanwu is not rare, but because of the long life span of ordinary Xuanwu, the knowledge is much more than that of ordinary demonic beasts, so they are very shrewd, plus they are good at constricting their aura, there are very few Xuanwu who can be found by the beast clan." Generally, when a Xuanwu appears in people's field of vision, it is at least a sixth- or seventh-order demonic beast, who dares to provoke them!"
"Sixth or seventh order, it's not too high. Zhao Yuan said, silently saying in his heart, my family's Xuanwu level is lower, only the fifth order.
"Ouch, my lord, you naturally don't take the sixth or seventh order seriously, but if you look at the entire beast clan, the powerhouses of the seventh order can be the leader of a big tribe!" Asha said half-teasingly. "Besides, Xuanwu can reach the sixth or seventh order, and the age starts at three thousand, with that age, I haven't seen any scenes, plus Xuanwu is the top defense among all the demonic beasts, even if the eighth-order powerhouse comes, it may not be able to subdue it. β
But I subdued the old Xuanwu with a small fireball of the first order, Zhao Yuan smiled secretly in his heart, and silently drank the last sip of wine.
The wine is good wine, but when it came time to pay the bill, Zhao Yuan looked at the "One Thousand and Five Magic Crystals" written on the checkout, and the aroma of wine in his mouth seemed to be a little bitter. No wonder Asha's woman was so generous just now, and her feelings were waiting for him here!
Walking out of the black rose, Zhao Yuan put away a strange outfit in a corner. He knew that as a Terran, he would be blinded everywhere he went, so he had to be cautious in order to prevent Sherman from knowing that he was looking for him.
Just as he quickened his pace and was about to go back to the Norse Hotel to rest, the conversation between the two orcs walking by him drifted into his ears.
"Oh, the Bolton couple of the chinchilla clan are too pitiful, and they finally sent their daughter to the Bounty Pavilion with some connections up and down, but who would have thought that after just a few days of working in the city, the people would be gone!" said a fat-headed, big-eared orc.
"What's the call that people are gone?" The other orc next to him was slightly shorter than him, but his body shape was still the same round, Zhao Yuan looked behind them for a long time, and finally saw a short tail in the crack of his pants, it turned out to be two pigs!
"It's just dead! It's also that she herself is not blessed, she actually walked on the road and fell, and happened to fall on the tooth of the snake tribe who didn't know which snake tribe had dropped, and she died of poison on the spot. The taller pig clan was full of embarrassment. "When I was a child, I always went to her house for dinner, and Mr. and Mrs. Bolton are also rare good people!"
"It's a bit of luck, when will there be any other fangs in that place, if I accidentally step on themβ" The shorter pig asked worriedly.
"What are you worried about, it was a few days ago, and the place was already cleaned. β
"That's good, but she's really not lucky, and it can be seen that the work of the Bounty Pavilion is not something that anyone can go in and do. Although the dwarf pig said this, there was an unconcealable sourness in his tone.
"Yes, poor old Mr. and Mrs. Bolton, all their life savings have been wasted like this. β
......
Zhao Yuan's footsteps slowed down slightly, and then returned to his normal speed and continued to walk towards the original trajectory. He looked at the bustling streets that gradually appeared, and sneered in his heart, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door to hell, Sherman, this time you sent it yourself.
