Chapter 58 Holy City, Divine Weapon City!
After all, ferocious beasts are bloodthirsty, violent, and extremely brutal, unless one's strength is absolutely overwhelming.
The more the leaders thought about it, the more their scalps tingled with unease.
They were also very envious of the Black Demon Tribe's vast resources.
Before, they were unhappy that the city lord wouldn't let them wipe out the Black Demon Tribe, but now?
All the leaders cast grateful glances at Xiao Ting, thanking him for not letting them go.
Just look at the mad dragon; they all don't want to face such terrifying beasts!
"Xiao Yu has actually recovered? How could this be?"
At this moment, Xiao Tian's eyes were filled with disbelief and a trace of fear.
His parents have always valued and spoiled him.
Besides his sweet talk and ability to stir up trouble, more importantly, he inherited his parents' talents.
Wind and Lightning Dual-Element Talents!
After all, most awakened individuals possess a single, incredibly powerful talent!
Xiao Tian, however, possesses two talents.
It's like God is feeding them!
Therefore, from the moment he was born, his parents poured all their love and care into him.
But now, his two hunting trips have caused heavy losses to Yan City, and it has begun to decline.
The parents finally realized that their eldest son, Xiao Yu, was different from others, but their second son wasn't that outstanding either.
Not to mention...
Xiao Yu now controls a gigantic monster comparable to a small mountain, as well as a group of powerful ferocious beasts.
With so many ferocious beast pets, isn't that better than having dual-elemental talents?
If he had so many powerful helpers, wouldn't finding food and water be a piece of cake?
Damn Xiao Yu, why is he so lucky! All the good stuff comes his way!
"You unfilial son, you are utterly rebellious! How dare you steal my things? Are you trying to rebel?" The thought of his astronomical resources, which he had coveted and nurtured for many years, being snatched away by his unfilial son Xiao Yu filled Xiao Ting with rage, and he roared wildly.
Suddenly, lightning crackled throughout the hall, and everyone trembled in fear.
Unfortunately, the more Xiao Ting acted this way, the more incompetent he appeared.
After all, this son was someone the couple considered useless and had abandoned with their own hands!
But now, this good-for-nothing son has actually caused Yan City a huge problem!
They stole the glowing tree that Xiao Ting was about to obtain, and the massive amount of energy stones that Xiao Ting was about to acquire...
Could a good-for-nothing really have done so many things?
Xiao Yu's impressive performance only highlighted how blind Xiao Ting and his wife were! They were utterly blind!
Unlike Xiao Ting, Xiao Tian, and others, Feng Murong and Liu Ruyan had different ideas.
Hearing that Xiao Yu had become so powerful, defying the heavens... both of them felt extremely complicated.
For some reason, Feng Murong suddenly had a feeling.
This Flame City base was like a cage, constantly binding Xiao Yu's soul.
Since leaving Yan City, he has completely let himself go and has become increasingly outstanding.
Perhaps, he really won't come back!
He had also completely lost his son!
As for Liu Ruyan, she has been reflecting and observing these past few days.
Suddenly, she felt that Xiao Tian, the prince charming she once admired, no longer seemed so appealing...
These days, every time Xiao Tian tries to ask her out, she politely declines with various excuses.
It's all because another person's image has appeared in her heart, one she can't shake off...
Today's meeting was originally intended for the high-ranking officials to curry favor with City Lord Xiao Ting.
But now, City Lord Xiao Ting has become a complete joke.
For a moment, all the senior executives fell silent, not daring to speak again.
"Lord City Lord, a spy has sent an urgent report!" At this moment, a subordinate handed over a piece of intelligence.
Xiao Ting took the sealed animal skin paper and glanced at it. His pupils shrank immediately, and his face darkened.
"Lord City Lord, we shall take our leave now!"
Knowing something was amiss, the senior executives immediately took their leave.
"My niece is also taking her leave!"
"Everyone else, step back. Niece Ruyan, please stay." Liu Ruyan bowed and turned to leave, but Xiao Ting asked her to stay.
The crowd quickly dispersed, leaving Liu Ruyan looking puzzled.
"Uncle Xiao, is there something you need from me?"
“Niece Ruyan, take a look at this first.”
As Xiao Ting spoke, he handed over the parchment containing the intelligence.
After reading the intelligence report, Liu Ruyan's expression changed slightly. "That highly respected master... has he passed away? Won't that holy city suffer annihilation...?"
Liu Ruyan understood the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime.
In this wasteland, weapons and armor are among the most important resources, and also consumables!
Blacksmiths who can forge weapons are naturally in high demand.
That city happened to be home to a large number of excellent blacksmiths.
Without the protection of that master blacksmith, that holy city is surely in grave danger!
And her childhood friend... must be in a terrible situation too.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but feel a little worried. She looked at Xiao Ting and tentatively asked, "Uncle Xiao, are you... also going to take action against that holy city?"
Even she admired the master blacksmith's magnanimity and breadth of mind.
Naturally, no one wanted to see that place destroyed by war.
Seeing the change in Liu Ruyan's expression, Xiao Ting put on a righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor and said:
“Niece Ruyan, as you saw, as soon as that master blacksmith left, a bunch of demons and monsters jumped out and started causing trouble. Black Soil City even threatened to bring their army to the city gates if we didn’t agree to their demands… So, it’s time for our Yan City to uphold justice.”
"And you have a close relationship with that young city lord; I need you to go there for me."
"This..." Liu Ruyan was caught off guard by Xiao Ting's straightforward approach.
When she came to Yan City, her father told her to do her best to assist the city lord and to perform well.
Moreover, she knew Xiao Ting's character very well.
Yan City and Heitu City, two major bases located in the south and north respectively, have been locked in a power struggle for many years.
Now, Black Earth City has made a strong move.
Even if she refused, Xiao Ting would still take action.
"I can make the trip." In the end, Liu Ruyan nodded.
"With you in charge, Uncle Xiao is very relieved!"
"Thank you for your trust, Uncle Xiao! I will depart immediately for... Divine Weapon City!"
Rather than letting that childhood friend end up in Black Soil City, it would be better to arrange a marriage between her and Yan City!
……
On the back of the earth dragon turtle, in the small courtyard.
"Was this contract also stolen from the Black Demon Tribe?" Honglian Xinglan and Liuyue Sannu looked at the parchment in their hands with curiosity, but even more so with excitement.
Because the contents of this parchment are as follows:
[Contract]
We have received 100,000 catties of iron ore from the Black Demon Tribe.
This city promises to forge 10,000 weapons and 3,000 suits of armor for the Black Demon Tribe!
Signed by: Divine Weapon City!
Date: [Year] [Month]
This is a contract from that holy city!
Ten thousand iron swords, three thousand iron armors!
Its value has exceeded 40 energy stones!
Moreover, it only takes 8 catties of iron ore to forge these weapons and armor.
The extra 20,000 jin of iron ore was the payment given to the other party.
