Chapter 5: The Good Intentions of the City Lord
The name of this token is 'Desert Domain Bronze Venerable Order', and there is almost one true martial arts realm martial artist. The Desert Bronze Venerable Order is of great help to the warriors, and the Desert Mansion is not only the largest force in the Desert Domain, but also the first intelligence bureau and the first treasure house!
In exchange for treasures, intelligence, or requests for the Desert Domain, as long as you pay a certain price and have a token. The tokens here are collectively referred to as the 'Desert Order', and the Bronze Order is only the lowest level token among them.
The higher the token, the higher its authority, and the better it will enjoy the treatment of the Desert Domain!
If there is no token, these services of Moyu Mansion have no rights and qualifications!
In the Desert Domain, as long as the True Martial Realm is reached, some of the Desert Domain's stationed branches will send out tokens, or the warriors themselves will go to the branch to apply.
Xiao Chen's token was sent by the Moyu Mansion Branch yesterday afternoon. In the morning, as soon as the news that Xiao Chen was a True Martial Realm martial artist was released, the Moyu Mansion Branch received the news, and then found out that Xiao Chen was a new True Martial Realm martial artist and did not receive a token. In the afternoon, this was delivered.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh, the efficiency of this Desert Mansion is really high!
"Quick! Hurry up and give orders! A True Martial Realm powerhouse is here!"
A guard at the door saw Xiao Chen walking away, so he hurriedly ran out at full speed and gave the order.
Xiao Chen walked leisurely, and soon came to a hall. This is inside a tall and ornate building. There weren't many people in the hall, most of them were staff members who were running around.
There are tables and chairs on both sides of the hall, which are also separated by screens. Several businessmen and the like were talking to the staff about something.
"Sir, is there anything I can serve you?" As soon as Xiao Chen walked in, a very handsome woman who looked to be in her twenties walked over and asked with a smile.
"Oh. I'm here to apply for a trade permit. Xiao Chen thought for a while. In addition to shops, chambers of commerce, taverns and inns, such as medical halls and schools, these are also classified as 'merchants'.
If you want to go to other cities, you only need to apply for one more certificate in Moyu Mansion. As for the stalls, there are not many requirements. This system was established by almost every city lord's mansion.
"Okay. Sir, please follow me!" the staff member led Xiao Chen aside and sat down, then took out a large dozen pieces of paper full of words, and said in a loud voice.
For about five minutes, Xiao Chen was listening to the staff talking.
"Hmm. Xiao Chen suddenly looked up in one direction. Somewhere in the hall, a chubby middle-aged man was walking towards it. Years in a high position have naturally exuded a special temperament of majesty and authority without anger. While Xiao Chen looked at him, he also smiled.
"Coercion?" Xiao Chen raised his head only when he felt the coercion on the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man walked in.
"City Lord!" Seeing the middle-aged man, the staff member stood up and bowed his head respectfully.
"He is the city lord?" Xiao Chen touched his nose.
"Hmm. You go down first. This lord's business must be done!
"Yes!" the woman stepped back.
"Lord Xiao Chen. The lord smiled and sat down.
"My lord?" Xiao Chen wondered. It's the same True Martial Realm, and the other party still has the identity of the city lord, why do you still call yourself an 'adult'?
"Huh. The adult was still at the peak of the Origin Martial Realm cultivation two years ago, and now he is the strength above the middle stage of the True Martial Realm, and the progress and speed are rare in the world. Besides, the adults are young, and their future achievements must be limitless! If you join the Desert Mansion now, your status will naturally be much higher than that of the lower ones!"
"Oh. Xiao Chen understood. It seems that the city lord is trying to encourage himself to join the Desert Domain.
However, Xiao Chen will not go in.
How did Xiao Chen's current achievements come about, he himself knew very well, almost all of them relied on the exercise 'Divine Crystal Ninefold'! If there was no Divine Crystal Ninefold, it is estimated that he would still be in Mangmo City and in the civilian circle of the Shiwu Realm!
Without the advantages brought by the Nine Layers of the Divine Crystal, as well as the protection of the mysterious crystal, Xiao Chen would have been reduced to the feces and urine in the belly of the sand scorpion! Not to mention the later breakthroughs, as well as the creation of the Hoe Heavenly Gong!
Meantime. This also shows that Xiao Chen's luck is excellent.
What is the fastest way to improve your strength?
Of course, it's a fight to the death!
At the beginning of the sand scorpion gathering place, Xiao Chen had to bear the huge pressure from the threat of life and death every day. Fighting frantically with sand scorpions every day, he approached the invincibility of the Shiwu Realm in just half a month!
If you join the sect now, I'm afraid that it will gradually disappear in the future!
Joining the Desert Mansion should be just a mediocre genius. But going alone, although there is a lack of resources, you can also get what you can't get by joining the sect!
Traveling alone, the future is bound to be more difficult, easier to fall, but also more exciting!
"My lord, I have already instructed my subordinates to do your business, so you can rest assured. ”
"Oh. Then thank the city lord for his help. ”
"Haha. No thanks, no thanks!" The city lord hurriedly waved his hand.
"I don't know if the city lord came in person today and saw me Xiao, is there something wrong?"
"Well, that's right. The old guy from the Desert Mansion asked me to ask, I wonder if the adults are interested in joining the Desert Domain?"
"This ......" Xiao Chen actually had the answer in his heart, but he just rolled his eyes and pretended to think. "City Lord, I think, men, should have their own careers! Young people, love to work hard, but they can't stand restraints. So...... Maybe in a few decades, I'll be tired and will consider joining. ”
"Oh. That's right. ”
The castle lord was still smiling.
"But now if you join the Desert Domain, you can immediately get a lot of resources! The conditions that the Desert Mansion can give are not comparable to your own adventure!"
"Huh. Castle Lord, I prefer to be free. Enter the sect...... I'm really not used to it. Thank you for your kindness. ”
"Oh. Never mind. ”
The city lord said with a smile.
After that, the lord of the city never talked about it again.
......
"City Lord. Things were almost done, and Xiao left first. If the city lord is free someday, come to my place for a drink!"
"Yes, definitely!"
Xiao Chen was ready to leave.
"Uncle Zhang. You take me with you for such a boring thing, and I'm not a child, are you still afraid that I will get lost?"
"I don't think you've grown up yet! I think you're going to play all the time! A girl doesn't know how to be reserved. ”
A voice suddenly came, and Xiao Chen couldn't help but be stunned.
"This voice, so familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere?" Xiao Chen felt that the voices of these two people were a little familiar.
Subconsciously turning his head to look, Xiao Chen couldn't help but be stunned. A middle-aged man with a young girl was walking towards the hall.
Well, it's familiar...... Can you not be familiar? Wasn't the first person Xiao Chen saw when he came to this world!
"Gu Qing, why is she here?!" After Xiao Chen came to Mangmo City, he never saw Gu Qing and his party again, he thought that they had not entered Mangmo City at all, and went directly elsewhere!
More than two years have passed, and suddenly I ran into it!
"I'll say hi later. Xiao Chen said in his heart. After all, it's a lifesaver, and it's okay to say hello.
"Uncle Zhang, you, can you bear to put my cute little bird in a cage?" Gu Qing pursed her lips, her eyes glistening with tears, and she looked pleading.
Uncle Zhang seemed to be used to it, and just glanced at it and looked away.
"Hmph!" Gu Qing saw that this trick was useless, so she immediately put away her expression, but she still pouted and twisted her head away.
Xiao Chen was walking towards this side.
"Hmm, who is he?" At the same time, Gu Qing noticed Xiao Chen, her head tilted, and there was doubt in her eyes. The person in front of him just felt familiar.
Xiao Chen approached and said, "Gu Qing, Uncle Zhang, do you remember me?"
Uncle Zhang paused and frowned at the same time. Because of Gu Qing's practice, it requires a pure and thorough soul, and at the same time, it is an ice attribute exercise. And the eyes are the windows of the soul, after Gu Qing broke through to the True Martial Realm, those glasses became more and more powerful. Therefore, before, there were many male martial artists who cultivated in the True Martial Realm, even if they sensed the coercion emanating from the two of them, they would still come over to talk.
But now, having traveled through so many cities, Uncle Zhang has slapped and broken many legs......
"Aren't the martial artists in Mangmo City who are truly martial arts realm cultivators all old guys who are old and don't like women?"
Uncle Zhang turned his head slightly, but Gu Qing just stopped, and his head didn't move.
The young man in front of him, although he was familiar, Uncle Zhang couldn't remember it for a while.
"Oh, you are, you are ......" Gu Qing vaguely remembered. "You're dust!"
Xiao Chen also breathed a sigh of relief when he came here. Looking at the two of them just now, it seems that they have forgotten themselves. If the other party doesn't remember himself, he goes up to say hello like this, Xiao Chen's cheek can't bear it!
"Dust! That native!" Then, the sentence that Gu Qing blurted out instantly made Xiao Chen petrified, and even his face darkened......
"Uh...... Earth... "In Xiao Chen's impression, the image of the aborigines has always been: no clothes, covering the ** part with leaves, the whole person is black, and the birds don't talk, and when you laugh, you can clearly see a row of neat and white teeth......
"Qingqing, how can you speak? Apologize to others!" Uncle Zhang saw that Xiao Chen's face was not very good.
"No, no, no, no, no, you are my savior, how can I make you apologize?"
"Ahem. Uncle Zhang coughed a few times.
"Ugh. We still have urgent things to do, and I will educate this child well when I go back. ”
"Oh, do you know each other?" said the city lord with a sudden smile.
"Hmm. We did have a one-sided friendship with the little brother Chen. Uncle Zhang said.
The city lord's eyes narrowed.
He knew that Uncle Zhang and Gu Qing in front of him were both True Martial Arts Realm cultivators, and Gu Qing, according to the analysis of intelligence, seemed to be about the same age as Xiao Chen.
