Do you want to be Morrison's assistant? Zuo Chang’s answer is very simple——
don't want.
Today was the first time he had seen the powerful man in the fifteenth realm in front of him. He didn't know his nature or his past. How could he work directly next to him?
What if this person is very powerful and the "surprise" and "friendliness" he is showing at this moment are just disguises. He is testing Zuo Chang and determines his true purpose by observing Zuo Chang's every reaction.
Therefore, Zuo Chang showed some hesitation, and finally shook his head slowly: "Senior Morrison, thank you for your invitation. I haven't decided whether to stay in Sky City yet, so I can't give you an answer."
"oh……"
Morrison nodded slowly and asked again: "In today's world, wealth and opportunities can only be found in the sea of reflection. Are you an adventurer willing to give up here?"
Zuo Chang smiled slightly: "You don't seem to know what happened to me? A few days ago, my friends died at the hands of Master Haifang, and only my wife and I survived."
I see!
Morrison stopped pushing. He is a "person in a high position". He has already lowered his dignity by inviting Zuo Chang twice.
Zuo Chang is still hesitating, so forget it.
If he continues talking, it seems like he is begging someone to stay. How shameless?
Seeing his silence, Zuo Chang took the initiative and said, "Whether I leave or not, I will let you know."
"Um."
Morrison nodded slightly: "I live next door to you. If you have any ideas, you can come to me directly. In addition, I will prepare two sets of magic potions. After taking them, they can help you advance to the twelfth realm. This is my thank you gift. ”
Zuo Chang showed just the right amount of confusion, but Morrison didn't explain much.
He changed the topic and asked about the origin of Zuo Chang's ability, chatting for a while. He quickly said goodbye and walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Zuo Chang looked at the saint behind him and asked, "Have you seen this person?"
The saint shook her head: "No."
"Didn't he say that your Pope would see a doctor?"
The saint still shook her head: "I don't even know which pope it is. That man is in his early two hundred years."
oh.
That's okay.
…
…
Time is like running water. Half a month passed quickly.
After the battle of Umibozu, there were no large-scale battles in the Sky Castle. Before Biqier came into being, there were several groups competing for the position of city lord, far more than just Umibozu's family.
However, under the temptation of the "magic potion", almost all organizations with some strength chose to show goodwill to Biqier and stopped fighting.
His heart is kinder than his ears.
They did not forcefully require everyone to become their vassals. They preached that what they pursued was democracy and that virtuous people lived there. They had no interest in the Lord of Sky City at all!
But now that there is no leader and chaos in the city, it is not a long-term solution.
The most urgent task is to elect a temporary leader to command everyone.
Many people believe that the current patriarch of the Biqier family, a fifteenth-level powerhouse known as "grandfather", is the best candidate. Although his grandfather's birthplace is unknown, he has a high level of cultivation.
Grandfather shook his head, thinking that his virtue was shallow and he was too embarrassed to bear the heavy responsibility.
Everyone invited again, but still no one was accepted;
Everyone made three requests, and some radicals claimed that if my grandfather refused again, it would be a loss of face for everyone! If you don't give me face, you will get angry!
My grandfather had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
At this time, it has been seven days since the first conferment was given by Master Haifang.
People in the city say that my grandfather understands justice well, takes credit without being arrogant, is generous and kind-hearted, and is really an elder. In their hearts, they feel that this old guy is really capable of doing things, so he can do whatever he wants. Why is it so complicated?
On the day when my grandfather became the city lord, a button suddenly appeared in his office.
Along with the button came a letter.
Grandfather looked at the signature on the envelope, and his expression suddenly became serious——
"Eighteen seats before God, yours sincerely"
It turned out to be a letter sent from the Eighteen Seats in front of God!
"Everything in Sky City is indeed under their surveillance! It's not difficult for me to inquire after I become the city lord, but not everyone can send letters and 'gifts' to my desk without anyone noticing. can do it!"
Grandfather scratched the wax paint on the envelope and thought to himself.
He read the letter and found that it only contained two short paragraphs:
"Congratulations, Sky City Lord. You currently have the right to use the entire Sky City. You can plan the city as you like, but please do not arbitrarily transform the city for the purpose of destruction. Otherwise, we will reserve the right to punish you."
"The button you received is a switch. When you press it, we will stop guiding adventurers and will no longer increase the population of Sky City; if you are eager for more manpower, please press the button again."
Although the words are short, the amount of information is not small.
It was obvious that the Eighteen Gods did not think that this city belonged to their grandfather or Beqier.
They talk about “rights of use” and may also impose “punishments”…
The Eighteen Seats before the Gods believe that the City in the Sky is their city and is now only leased to Biqier.
Who would rent their "mansion" to others for no reason?
The eighteen seats before God must have another purpose!
They didn't ask for taxes or all kinds of extraordinary materials, so their purpose is obvious!
"Do you want us to be enemies with dragons?"
"No……"
"The expectations of the Eighteenth Seat before the Gods should be even greater. They want me to rule the entire Sky City than Qier. After we succeed, will they expel us?"
Very accurately, grandfather saw through Zuo Chang's intentions.
He folded the letter and thought to himself: "I was almost scared by you because of your pretense. The 'Eighteen Seats Before God' is just a nameless thing! If you are strong enough, you don't need to rely on the power of Bi Qier, you can face it and do it on your own." Isn’t it bad to conquer?”
Eighteen seats in front of God, insufficient strength.
No.
It may not even be a deficiency, but a weakness!
Thinking of this, my grandfather took a deep breath and felt refreshed and at peace.
A hidden camera was pointed at the grandfather, capturing his expression and showing it on the monitor.
The representative of Shenyin stood behind Blood Rose and said: "This old gentleman is very smart. He must have seen our 'weakness' from our letters and mistakenly thought that we wanted to use their hands to conquer the Sea of Reflection. .”
Blood Rose crossed her fingers and placed them on her knees.
She held her head high and her body was graceful: "The general said that this is a conspiracy. Even if our truest intentions are placed in front of him, he will not give up the City in the Sky. From the moment he enters the city, he is doomed. He moves slowly at the pace we set - unless he gives up his ambition."
The representative of Shenyin nodded slowly: "Our goal is not to reflect the sea. On the one hand, it is to weaken Beqier, Hesse, dragons and all threatening forces. This is easy to achieve, because they will inevitably break out into conflict, but It’s a matter of time; on the other hand, it’s about buying time for our own growth..."
She lowered her head and looked at the potion in her hand.
This is a promotion potion made from freshly harvested cabbage flowers.
The acting Shenyin looked at Blood Rose and asked: "Chief Rose, can I really take it? I think I have not yet shown my ability and loyalty."
Blood Rose turned her head and smiled: "The general ordered that high-level combatants be treated equally. Ms. Shenyin, you have been in the fifteenth realm and are qualified to use medicine."
