To the southeast of Tianwang City, there is a small hill, which the locals call Red Blood Mountain.
People who come to Tianwang City for the first time must not understand why a lush hill full of bright blue flowers is called this name.
They won't understand the truth until they come to the foot of Red Blood Mountain.
The soil of Red Blood Mountain is as red as paint.
Zuo Chang knew in his heart that the "stones watered by the divine blood" mentioned by the gods must be buried under the Red Blood Mountain, so he took people there on the spot.
The car was racing on the road, and the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion pointed to an exceptionally beautiful blue hill with a unique painting style: "City Lord Bai, Mr. Zuo, that's the Red Blood Mountain!"
Bai Lin nodded and asked: "Is this Scarlet Blood Mountain the property of Tianwang City?"
"Uh... no." The housekeeper shook his head, "Red Blood Mountain is a beautiful scenery. People feel like they are in a fairyland in it. It is so beautiful that people cannot leave! As early as when Qian Wuyi was the city lord, Red Blood Mountain was contracted out. ——I remember it seemed like it was contracted for three hundred years.”
How many years?
Three hundred years?
Zuo Changqi asked: "Is it a bit exaggerated to contract for three hundred years? What kind of family can live for such a long time!"
"This... subordinates don't know. I've heard a lot of rumors. Some said it was contracted by dragons, some said it was contracted by demons, and some said it was contracted by an ancient family. The only thing that can be confirmed is that this is a The forces from the higher-level community built a manor after contracting the Red Blood Mountain and seldom communicated with the outside world."
In just a few months, Tianwang City changed its owner three times.
The cadres of the City Lord's Mansion naturally changed one after another, and the steward in front of him was newly promoted by Bai Lin.
Zuo Chang had read his information. The housekeeper's surname was Lu Ke. Although he had never worked in the city lord's mansion before, he was a serious local sage with a cultivation level of seven levels and a reputation of ten people.
Bai Lin felt something was wrong and asked, "Why did they contract the Red Blood Mountain?"
"I don't know... I don't know. People from the higher-level community spend a lot of money and sign contracts for three hundred years. It's hard for me to sympathize with what a wealthy family like this thinks."
Butler Luke thought for a moment.
He speculated: "Maybe you think the scenery is good, so you come here to stay for a while sometimes to cultivate yourself?"
Not impossible.
Bai Lin asked again: "As the city lord, can I go in?"
Luke frowned: "In terms of the contract, Red Blood Mountain is the private property of that family and is protected by law. If they insist on not letting in, I'm afraid we don't have a legitimate reason to break in, but you are the city lord and they won't let you in. Whoever comes in can't let you in?"
Zuo Chang was sitting in the back row. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "As an emperor and a courtier, what does the contract signed by Qian Wuyi have to do with you, Bai Lin? God, are you right?"
The god raised his head and said, "Strictly speaking, that's not true; however, it is reasonable and legitimate to follow the emergency and forcefully go in for a look."
Bai Lin was unusually calm and said slowly: "If we are not allowed to visit, it is always okay for us to go in and see if there are any suspects hiding or if there are any fire hazards. As the acting city lord of Tianwang City, I have the obligation to protect the citizens under my jurisdiction. Safety, routine inspections, no room for relaxation!”
He is truly a model knight, even breaking into a house so plausibly.
Butler Luke had a new understanding of his leadership, and he immediately said: "This is true. Safety is no small matter, and caution is the embodiment of responsibility."
During the conversation, the car had already driven up the mountain road of Red Blood Mountain and stopped in front of the gate.
In front of the gate, there were two guards in helmets and armor. Zuo Chang looked up and found that they actually had twelve realms of cultivation.
A guard walked to the car door and knocked on the window: "Who is it?"
Luke was very dissatisfied with his scolding tone.
He rolled down the window and handed over his business card without saying a word.
"snort."
The guard read the words on the business card and already knew that he was the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion.
The housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion is technically Bai Lin's personal assistant. He doesn't seem to hold an official position, but his actual status is definitely not low.
When ordinary people see people like this, they won't be guilty of flattery, so they must be polite.
But the guard directly crumpled the business card into a ball and threw it on the ground: "I'm sorry, Butler Lu. No one is allowed to approach the Scarlet Blood Manor without my master's invitation! I have not been notified of receiving you, please get my master's invitation first. Please come back after you get a clear answer to your invitation!”
Luke leaned on the car seat: "Who is your master?"
"No comment!"
"That's really weird. You want me to get your master's invitation, but you don't tell me your master's name. Then who should I go to?"
The guard looked indifferent: "If you don't have this way, then don't come! Scarlet Blood Manor is not a place where everyone is welcome!"
Luke wants to curse!
But considering that City Master Bai was in the passenger seat, it was not easy to speak.
Bai Lin also felt the contempt. He immediately opened the door and got out of the car, and said to the guard: "Please go and inform the Lord of the Heavenly King City, Bai Lin, that he wants to see you. Or - your master has a noble status, and I, the Lord of the Heavenly King City, also Not worthy to see you?"
The guard obviously knew Bai Lin. He only glanced at him and showed a troubled expression.
After a moment of silence, he smiled: "I didn't expect City Lord Bai to come in person... Please come to the concierge and wait a moment, I will report immediately."
Bai Lin has long since lost his patience: "No, I'll just stand here and wait. Please move quickly."
The guard agreed and turned behind the gate.
"What the hell! You are really looking down on others!"
Luke cursed lowly as he sat in the car.
Zuo Chang smiled and said: "Nobles are like this, they have many rules."
"Mr. Zuo, I think this Scarlet Blood Manor is not a kind person. Why don't you go back and call the city defense troops?" Luke turned his head, "I'm not worried about anything. After all, this is the territory of the Scarlet Blood Manor, and they The divine dragon can never see its tail, so who knows how many soldiers it has raised!"
Zuo Chang shook his head: "Don't worry. If a fight breaks out later, just stay in the car and don't come out."
Luke chuckled: "Although I am old and my cultivation level is not very high, I was also a quite famous adventurer when I was young! When it comes to fighting, I am not afraid of them!"
"Something's wrong."
Suddenly, the god spoke.
She looked at Scarlet Blood Manor and said, "There seems to be someone from the Thirteenth Realm inside."
"……What?"
Zuo Chang didn't understand.
"There is a person from the Thirteenth Realm inside." God repeated, "And he is walking towards us."
As soon as she finished speaking, a man wearing a dark green brocade robe walked out of the door.
He laughed heartily, walked up to Bai Lin with his robe in hand, looked him up and down and said: "Are you the Lord of Bai Lin and Bai City? Oh, you are not welcome from afar! You are not welcome from afar!"
Surprise flashed in Bai Lin's eyes——
He discovered that the man in green robe in front of him actually had the thirteenth level!
