Chapter 64: Uninvited
"Damn, I can't bear it any longer, in just five days, our Lu family has lost at least fifty or sixty percent of its profits, and if it continues like this, all the Fang Markets will go bankrupt!" In the conference hall, the three elders said angrily with a fierce light on their faces.
In the hall, all the clansmen of the family who were not low in status were sitting here, their gloomy faces showing the anger in their hearts.
"It's true that it can't be delayed any longer..."The Great Elder exhaled slowly, and said, "Although Master Dan of the Hitus Auction House has refined hundreds of bottles of healing medicine for our family, this amount is too small, and it is impossible to compare with the huge quantity of the Horse Head Gang, and we can still stalemate with the Horse Head Gang in a short period of time, but once the time is too long and the healing medicine is sold, we have to return to the previous embarrassing situation." ”
Sighing, Lu Yong smiled bitterly: "Although if Master Dan is willing to help with all his might, he will definitely be able to kill the first-grade alchemist of the Matou Gang in terms of quantity, but after all, he is a person from the Hitus Auction House, and they have always rarely intervened in the battle between families, and it is already very surprising that they can do this now." ”
Lu Zhan, who was sitting in the first place, nodded with a gloomy face, although the level of healing medicine sold by the Matou Gang was extremely low-level, but it was superior in quantity and cheap, which was most suitable for the appetite of those mercenaries who often added blood to the knife edge.
"If we can also invite a first-grade alchemist, then we can compete with them...", someone in the hall whispered.
Hearing this, Lu Zhan shook his head helplessly, there are very few alchemists in Soto City, and it is not easy to invite those guys who think very highly of themselves, and this time the Matou Gang doesn't know what **** luck they have stepped on, and they really got an alchemist to help.
In the corner of the hall, Lu Tianyu and Lu Tianning and other members of the younger generation of the family were also sitting in it, looking at the gloomy faces of their own families, they didn't dare to interject indiscriminately, and the atmosphere was silent and depressing.
"Sister, that first-class alchemist, is it really so strong, and it actually made our Lu family like this?"
Hearing this, Lu Tianyu sighed lowly, smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Alchemist, it is indeed a unique profession, a first-class alchemist, the strength is at most at the level of the alien, if it is a head-on fight, any elder in the family can easily kill him, but the terrible thing about the alchemist is not that it is a frontal battle, they can refine magical pills that make people crazy, and with these pills, they have unparalleled appeal, in order to get these pills, many strong people are willing to act as pawns for the alchemist." ”
"On the Purple Continent, many people compare the alchemist to a poisonous honeycomb, as long as he stabs it, he can immediately find countless thugs, think about the scene of being beaten by hundreds of strong people, then even if he can't kill you, I'm afraid he will have to tire you to death. ”
Thinking of the scene of the group fight, Lu Tianning shivered at first, and then his face was full of envy.
"Don't be delusional, how harsh the conditions for becoming an alchemist are, you don't know it, the odds are even smaller than pie in the sky. Glancing at Lu Tianning, Lu Tianyu unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water on him.
Somewhat sluggish by Lu Tianyu's blow, Lu Tianning pouted and said, "I'm afraid that our entire Lu family really doesn't have the blessing to produce an alchemist." ”
Hearing this, Lu Tianyu just wanted to nod, but in his mind, he jumped into a black-shirted young man very abruptly, and the appearance of the young man seemed to be Lu Tianyu.
Shaking his head fiercely, Lu Tianyu muttered in his heart: "How can you think of that little bastard?" Hmph, with that guy's character, if he can become an alchemist, I'm afraid that the alchemist in this world will be worthless. ”
After cursing Lu Tianyu in his heart, Lu Tianyu looked at the corner by the window, where the girl in Tsing Yi was quietly holding a thick and simple book, occasionally turning the pages of the book with her fingers, her eyes flowing, and her calm and elegant appearance attracted the secret attention of many peers nearby.
"What a good girl, why do you have such a favor for that little bastard?" Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Tianyu remained silent again.
Sitting quietly by the window, although she sank her mind into the books, she could still detect the oppressive atmosphere in the hall, no matter what, she had also been in the Lu family for more than ten years, and she didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, even if it was because of Lu Tianyu, she would not really let the Lu family be hit by the Matou Gang and never turn over.
"Alas, I hope those guys won't go too far!" sighed lightly in her heart, still looking at the pages of the book again, without Lu Tianyu by her side, she almost didn't want to speak.
Just as the hall was discussing the strategy, a family guard hurriedly ran in and reported respectfully: "Patriarch, there is a black-robed man outside, saying that there are some cooperation matters that he wants to discuss with the patriarch in detail. ”
Hearing this, Lu Zhan and several elders were stunned, glanced at each other, their gloomy faces suddenly rose into ecstasy, and several people stood up at the same time, and shouted urgently: "Please!"
Seeing the appearance of Lu Zhan and the three elders, everyone in the hall was a little stunned, and then looked at each other.
"Hehe, no need to invite, Patriarch Lu has been doing lately? Old man, I came uninvited. As soon as Lu Zhan's voice fell, the old laughter came from outside the door.
As the voice came, a figure shrouded in a large black cloak crossed into the hall without hurrying into the hall in full view of everyone.
At the moment when the black-robed man entered the door, the still willow eyebrows, who had been immersed in the books, suddenly raised, slowly raised his little face, and stared at the black-robed man who entered the door with autumn eyes.
Looking at the black-robed man who came through the door, Lu Zhan and the three elders hurriedly walked out of the table, stepped forward quickly, and said with a respectful smile: "Old man, things in the clan are busy, and Lu Zhan has never come out to greet him, so I hope to bear with you!"
"Hehe, there's no need for false courtesy. Under the black robe, the old voice smiled faintly.
Lu Zhan nodded eagerly, glanced at the three elders, hurriedly got out of the way, and said with a smile: "Old gentleman, please sit down." ”
The black-robed man smiled and nodded, and was not polite, walked straight up, and sat down in the first place.
Seeing that Lu Zhan and the others treated the black-robed man so respectfully, the younger generation of clansmen couldn't help but whisper, and their curious eyes kept sweeping over the black-robed man, and when they heard the elders beside him say the identity of the black-robed man's alchemist, their eyes suddenly became hot and adoring, no matter where they were, alchemist is always the most awe-inspiring profession.
