Chapter 468: The Preciousness of the Star Stone
Chapter 468
At the same time, ten miles outside the city.
After Lan Yu asked his squadron leader to lead people to search, his eyes instantly turned cold.
After Lan Yueling came back, she told him what happened to him as soon as possible.
At that time, Lan Yueling's original words were like this.
She and a few sisters who had a good relationship went out of the city and went to the Lake of Forgotten Worries.
But before he arrived at the Lake of Forgotten Worries, he was knocked unconscious and taken away by a master who suddenly appeared.
Because she had a hidden weapon for self-defense, she found an opportunity to escape.
But the master had been searching for her.
As a result, the Blue Moon Spirit could only hide near the Forgotten Worry Lake, not daring to move around at will.
Then he was caught by the master who went to the Lake of Forgotten Worries to kill the beast, and became the bait to lure the beast to appear.
Then, it was saved by Xiao Zhan.
This matter, at first glance, does not clear any clues from it.
But Lan Yu is a captain of the City Lord's Mansion, and peeling off the cocoon is what he is good at.
He didn't think he had any enemies.
His daughter is kind and well-behaved, and she will not offend anyone.
Then it is obvious that the person who kidnapped Lan Yueling must have a conflict of interest with Lan Yu himself.
The most likely of these is the other captains of the City Lord's Mansion.
It's just that he couldn't guess which captain it was.
But the moment he saw Hong Biao just now, Lan Yu figured out something.
The City Lord's Mansion, below the City Lord, all the captains are all masters of the Starlight Realm.
And Hong Biao is the ninth layer of the Starlight Realm, and his Lan Yu is the seventh layer of the Starlight Realm on the surface, but in fact it is the eighth layer, and he is about to enter the ninth layer.
If Hong Biao felt that he Lan Yu was a threat and wanted to arrest Lan Yueling to threaten him Lan Yu, this would also make sense.
A cold light flickered in Lan Yu's eyes.
"If it was really you Hong Biao who did it, I would never let you live!"
Lan Yu was about to leave when he saw a young man in black armor running wildly.
This person came to Lan Yu and respectfully clasped his fists and saluted:
"Captain Lan Yu, our captain, let me bring you a word."
Lan Yu's eyes lit up, "You are the squadron leader under Hong Biao."
The young man nodded.
Lan Yu snorted coldly, "What did Hong Biao ask you to bring me?"
The man spoke slowly:
"Our captain said that on the day Miss Lan Yueling disappeared, all the people in our brigade were transferred to the south of the city to search for the bandit "Han Santong", and you also know about this matter, Captain Lan Yu."
"And on the day Miss Blue Moon Spirit returned to the city, all of us in the brigade were sent to escort the Sui Gong of the Shangjiao Domain Lord's Mansion."
Lan Yu sneered, "What Hong Biao means is that my daughter's disappearance has nothing to do with him, right?"
The squadron leader hugged his fists:
"Our captain didn't say anything else."
Lan Yu glanced at the squadron leader coldly, "Go back and tell Hong Biao, I will find out this matter clearly, it's not that he can put aside the relationship with a word."
The squadron leader didn't talk nonsense, nodded and said, "Captain Lan Yu's words, I will definitely bring them."
After saying that, the squadron leader turned around and left directly.
Lan Yu's eyes narrowed.
Hong Biao's words were not only saying that Lan Yueling's disappearance had nothing to do with him Hong Biao, but also hinting at Lan Yu that this matter was made by the city lord.
After all, the city lord has the final say on what tasks they go to perform.
But Lan Yu still can't figure it out for the time being, what's the point of the city lord doing this?
Lan Yu took a deep breath and glanced at the blurred shadow of Songcheng in the distance.
He seemed to hallucinate, feeling that the sky over Matsujo was always shrouded in a fog that he couldn't see.
"Is it really going to change?"
Lan Yu muttered to himself, then turned around and continued to search for people from the outside world.
Somewhere in the mountains.
Xiao Zhan and Deng Xiaozhuang stopped.
Deng Xiaozhuang lit a fire, caught another pheasant, and roasted it with ease.
Xiao Zhan took out all the star sand on his body in front of Deng Xiaozhuang and counted it.
Seeing that Xiao Zhan had nearly a thousand grains of star sand on his body, Deng Xiaozhuang's face was full of surprise.
Xiao Zhan directly took out ten grains of Xingchensha and handed them to Deng Xiaozhuang.
Deng Xiaozhuang was stunned, but he still stretched out his hand to take it, and said, "Thank you, big brother."
Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice, "I urgently need the Star Stone now, so I can't give you too much."
Deng Xiaozhuang hurriedly clenched his fists: "I'm already very satisfied."
Xiao Zhan didn't say too many polite words, and put Xingchensha in his arms.
Deng Xiaozhuang roasted the roast chicken, handed it to Xiao Zhan, and said:
"Big brother, how many Star Stones do you need?"
Xiao Zhan frowned:
"The more the merrier."
Deng Xiaozhuang didn't ask Xiao Zhan why he urgently needed so many star stones, but said directly:
"Matsujo, there won't be too many Star Stones."
"Almost all of the sand circulating in the market is star sand."
"All the Star Stones have gathered in the City Lord's Mansion and are regularly handed over to the Domain Lord's Mansion."
"The next time the City Lord's Mansion hands over the Star Stone to the Domain Lord's Mansion, it should be a year later."
What Deng Xiaozhuang meant by this was to let Xiao Zhan consider robbing the annual tribute handed over to the domain lord's mansion from the City Lord's Mansion.
But Xiao Zhan shook his head.
This is undoubtedly a move to find death.
Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and asked:
"How did the Star Stone of the City Lord's Mansion come from?"
Deng Xiaozhuang said truthfully:
"Astral stones are born in the starry sky, and sometimes they fall everywhere like meteorites."
"Therefore, the daily tasks of each city are not only to maintain the stability of their respective management areas, but also to search for the Star Stones that have fallen in the management area, and then turn them all in."
Xiao Zhan frowned, "Can this satisfy the demand?"
Deng Xiaozhuang shook his head:
"In fact, in our Tianlan World, there is a special team that operates in the starry sky all year round, and the only task is to find the star stone veins in the starry sky, and every person in that team is strong and mysterious."
"Ninety percent of the Star Stones in our Tianlan World were brought back by them."
Speaking of this, Deng Xiaozhuang seemed to suddenly realize something, and his expression was stunned, "Big brother, you ...... You're not from the Tianlan World?"
"How else you wouldn't know about these things?"
Xiao Zhan didn't hide it, nodded and said, "I am indeed not from the Tianlan World."
Hearing Xiao Zhan's admission, Deng Xiaozhuang's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Big brother, I suggest that you leave the Tianlan World as soon as possible."
"Now the entire Tianlan world is searching for people from the outside world, if you are found, then you will not be able to escape."
"Although your Moyun World has successfully polluted the origin power of our Tianlan World, the Tianlan World will not be defeated so easily."
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I'm not from the Moyun World."
Deng Xiaozhuang was stunned again, and then he breathed a sigh of relief:
"Okay."
Xiao Zhan said truthfully:
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm from a lower world."
"I need to bring back a lot of Star Stones so that more people can walk into the starry sky."
Deng Xiaozhuang couldn't hide the shock on his face.
The lower world, a word that is rarely mentioned.
Even people like Deng Xiaozhuang don't often mention the low-level world.
Because people in the low-level world can't even use the power of the stars, at most
It is to absorb the power of one's own world to survive.
Deng Xiaozhuang never thought that in the low-level world, someone as powerful as Xiao Zhan would be born.
Although Xiao Zhan's strength at the seventh layer of the Star Light Realm is not a master, it is incredible from the premise of the "low-level world".
Xiao Zhan frowned at this time and asked:
"If I want to get the Star Stone, is there any other way?"
"It's too slow to earn Starsand by completing quests."
Yes, calculating the time, Xiao Zhan has been here for more than a month, but he only got nearly a thousand grains of star sand.
You must know that 10,000 grains of star sand are equivalent to the value of one star stone.
Deng Xiaozhuang shook his head:
"Ten thousand grains of sand are indeed equivalent to the value of one stellar stone."
"However, no one will be willing to exchange a complete star stone for 10,000 star sands."
"Big brother, if you want to get the Star Stone, or if it's a low risk, there's only one way."
Xiao Zhan frowned, "What's the way?"
Deng Xiaozhuang lowered his voice:
"Go and be a scavenger."
"Scavengers?" Xiao Zhan's face was full of doubts, "What do you mean?"
Deng Xiaozhuang said in a deep voice:
"In our Tianlan world, there are no big villains."
"But there are many bandit forces that have been destroyed and reappeared, and they have never been able to cut off."
"In addition to that, there is another group called the Scavengers."
"As the name suggests, scavengers are all about looking for fallen star stones."
"This is a shady thing, it is equivalent to snatching the star stone from the hands of the city lords everywhere, and once it is discovered, it will be wanted."
"There is a wanted list of scavengers in Tianlan World, and all the people on it are scavengers whose identities have been exposed."
Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up:
"Where are the places where it's easy to pick up star stones?"
Deng Xiaozhuang shook his head, "It's not easy to pick it up anywhere."
"But if you're lucky enough, maybe in the next second, a star stone will fall from the sky and fall in front of you, big brother."
Xiao Zhan was about to speak, when he heard the sound of breaking the sky in the air.
When I looked up, a ray of light with a flaming tail was falling at a rapid rate.
Xiao Zhan hurriedly pulled Deng Xiaozhuang to dodge.
The next moment, a "bang" was heard, and a pit appeared where Xiao Zhan was standing just now.
In the pit, there was a thumb-sized purple hedron that was hot and smoking.
Xiao Zhan was stunned.
Deng Xiaozhuang was also stunned.
The next moment, Deng Xiaozhuang urged:
"Big brother, pick up this star stone, let's leave quickly!"
Sensing Deng Xiaozhuang's urgency, Xiao Zhan directly reached out and picked up the hot star stone, and his figure swept away into the distance in a flash.
After a few moments, the two stopped in a dense forest.
Deng Xiaozhuang gasped, bent over, pressed his hands on his knees, and panted:
"Everyone in the City Lord's Mansion has a microphone and stuffs it in their ears."
"The sound of the falling star stone can be heard by them from a long distance."
"There must have been people from the City Lord's Mansion now, rushing to the place where the Star Stone fell just now."
"If we're too late, we're going to get caught red-handed."
Xiao Zhan nodded, looking at the star stone in his hand that had faded to a blazing temperature.
In the sunlight, the star stone emits a soft purple halo that looks crystal clear and extremely beautiful.
Although he picked up a star stone, Xiao Zhan knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to pick up more star stones by being a scavenger, it would be time-consuming and labor-intensive, the risk factor was extremely high, and the harvest was extremely low, which was not a long-term solution.
As if he could see what Xiao Zhan was thinking, Deng Xiaozhuang hesitated for a moment before saying:
「
Actually, there's another way."
Xiao Zhan asked in a deep voice:
"What's the solution?"
Deng Xiaozhuang said truthfully:
"The Domain Lord's Mansion will release some tasks from time to time, and they are all settled with Star Stones."
"But those tasks are extremely difficult, and they require at least the Starlight Realm to complete."
"With your current strength, big brother, you can't take on those tasks yet."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan also realized that the Star Stone was also an incomparably precious thing in the Tianlan World, and it was not something that ordinary people could have.
But Xiao Zhan still didn't give up and asked:
"How do the people in the Tianlan World practice?"
"Don't you use the Star Stone?"
Deng Xiaozhuang shook his head, with a hint of envy in his eyes:
"Only the people of the City Lord's Mansion have it."
"The Domain Lord's Mansion will regularly distribute some Star Stones to the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord will distribute them to those captain-level figures."
"But the ordinary people of the City Lord's Mansion, including those squad leaders and most of the squadron leaders, are not qualified to use the Star Stone."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Understood."
"This is to monopolize the star stones of the entire Tianlan world."
