In front of the city lord's mansion.
The city lord knelt on the ground, supporting the ground with both hands, raising his upper body, his eyes wide open, with two lines of blood and tears on his face, like a howling wolf, but his eyes were full of tenderness.
It seemed that as long as the people in the city could immerse themselves in this happy life forever, it didn't matter what happened to him.
"The heroic hero and the respectable city lord, let us bow to pay tribute to this hero."
Chrollo crossed his chest with his right hand and bowed to the city lord.
The others bowed after him.
After bowing, Chrollo took out another incense burner and placed it in front of the city lord, put nine incense sticks in it and lit it.
"Great City Lord, the people of Jinxiu City will always remember your sacrifice for everyone. I hope you can get rid of your obsession as soon as possible and send all living beings to a blissful life."
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and gently touched the city lord's eyes.
But the city lord's eyes were still open.
"Hey...the obsession is too strong to transcend." Chrollo sighed.
"Then we will be trapped here forever?" Zhao Xiaoyao curled his lips and said, "If I had known, I would have listened to Celia's detour."
"Why panic? With the leader here, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome." Xiang Nanfei said.
"Let's search separately to see if there are any records related to 'Qian Huan Qing Wu' and various jade slips recording illusions."
Chrollo gave an order and then walked into the city lord's mansion.
Lu Xingman and others followed in.
Only Luo Qingcheng, sitting next to the city lord, looked at the street in front of her from the city lord's perspective.
There are many shops on the street, people coming and going, and everyone's face is filled with happy smiles.
A scene of family joy.
"Because all the people you love are dead, do you want to create a world where everyone lives happily?"
"If it were me, I would definitely do the same thing, right?"
"But this kind of technique...why is it called Qian Huan Qing Wu?"
Luo Qingcheng turned her head and looked at the side face of the city lord. At this moment, the city lord in her eyes seemed to have come alive, and he turned to look at her.
…
"Lu Chen, Lu Chen, Chrollo asked me to call you to the City Lord's Mansion."
Celia ran back and said.
"I got it." Lu Chen stood up and pulled Hua Linglong up: "Let's go, we still have a long way to go, and we can't stop moving forward just because of a little thing."
"Um."
…
The three of them came to the city lord's mansion.
The first thing to see was the city lord who was staring at the people in the city, and Luo Qingcheng who was staring at the city lord.
Both people seemed to be sculptures.
"Luo Qingcheng?"
Lu Chen shouted, but the other party didn't respond.
"Lu Chen, the leader calls you to come in."
Zhao Xiaoyao waved and shouted at the door.
The three of them followed into the City Lord's Mansion, passed through several houses, and came to the study. There were three rows of bookshelves and a desk in the study.
There was a map on the desk, and Chrollo was looking at it.
"Is this a map of Dayu Imperial City?" Lu Chen asked.
"It seems so."
Lu Chen was delighted when he heard this, and immediately leaned over to check it out.
The first thing he saw was the Imperial City of Dayu marked with the word "Emperor" in the center of the map! !
At the second glance, he discovered that Dayu's area was actually a circle!
The imperial city is the center of the circle.
At the circular border, there are eighteen royal cities marked with 'King'.
Among them were Fengtian City they were looking for, and Zhenbei City they had visited before.
Jinxiu City and Beimang City are both within the sphere of influence of Fengtian City and are under the jurisdiction of Fengtian City.
But it's a pity.
There is only Dayu on this map, and the spheres of influence of the other two dynasties are not drawn.
"The Eighteen Kings City should be the most important force besides the Imperial City. After we go to Fengtian City to search, we can go to Binhai City."
Binhai City is on the left side of Fengtian City.
On the map, there is a vast ocean outside Binhai City. There are also several "whale" and "squid" patterns marked on the sea. It is estimated that there are powerful monsters there.
"Well, but have you found a way out?" Lu Chen asked.
"Not yet." Chrollo smiled and said, "But I believe that the city lord will not keep poor innocent people like us trapped here."
Lu Chen was slightly startled but didn't say anything.
"Let's continue shopping. After all, this is a city that has not been raided by anyone. There will definitely be some incredible treasures."
Chrollo put away the map, stood up and left.
Lu Chen walked around the study room and found that the city lord loved reading and was proficient in poetry and poetry, leaving behind many calligraphy treasures.
Unfortunately, he had no interest in these, so he didn't take them.
"Lu Chen, Lu Chen, come to this room."
Celia, who was searching in the opposite room, shouted to him. After Chase Lu rushed over, he saw Celia staring at the painting on the wall.
"What did you find?"
"Don't you think this painting is unusual?" Celia said.
There is a painting hanging on the wall, about three meters long and one meter wide. It depicts a blue sky, white clouds, beside a green mountain, a blue river, and an old man in the river, rafting forward.
On the left side of the painting, there is a line of words.
If the mountains don't see me, I will go to see the mountains - the water flows eastward.
Lu Chen observed for a long time but didn't notice anything unusual, so he said: "The painting is quite beautiful, but I don't see anything unusual about it?"
"Oh, look into the old man's eyes."
"This old man has his back to us, how can he have any eyesight..."
Lu Chen suddenly stopped mid-sentence, because when he looked at the back of the old man's head, a pair of eyes actually appeared on it!
The moment their eyes met, Lu Chen felt a sharp pain in his eyes.
"ah!"
Lu Chen screamed and took three steps back.
"Lu Chen, what's wrong with you?"
Hua Linglong quickly supported Lu Chen.
Lu Chen rubbed his eyes, and after making sure he could still see, he said, "I'm fine, don't stare into his eyes."
"No, Celia, look at his eyes, are you okay?" Lu Chen asked.
"It's okay." Celia said.
"I'm fine too." Hua Linglong on the side guessed: "Is it possible that you are the only one with something wrong?"
Everyone else can see it, but I can’t?
Lu Chen was dumbfounded.
"Lu Chen, Lu Chen, look, the words on this painting have changed."
"The mountain is right here, when will you come?"
"Lu Chen, the people in this painting are not waiting for you, are they?"
Celia widened her eyes and exclaimed, while Hua Linglong quickly closed the door. Ever since she knew that Chrollo and the others massacred more than 300 million people in Ice and Snow City, she had a prejudice against these people.
Even if they are Lu Chen's friends, she will not treat them without reservation.
"The mountain is right here, when will you come?"
"Does this mean that I go to this mountain to find him, or does he leave something for me on the mountain?"
"But this painting must be at least 17,000 years old. How did you predict that I would come here?"
"Water flows eastward..."
"Who is he?"
