Volume Two: Two-Headed Dragon Kiki Chapter 191: Witch Doctor Tower
Chapter 191: News from the Witch Doctor Tower (Part 1)
Siyou's face changed when she heard what Merlin said. She wanted to refute immediately but forced herself to endure it. She knew that her father only said this to make those lords give up the idea of poaching.
But if these words reach Gu Nansheng's ears, how will she see him in the future?
The dissatisfaction in her heart could only be buried deep in her heart, because the eyes of several lords were cast on her.
Siyou knew that it was best to put on a shy expression at this time, but she really couldn't do it, so she simply turned her head away and didn't look at anyone.
"Tsk tsk, Donghuang is really willing to spend a lot of money. I remember correctly, you are the apple of his eye." Oaker said sarcastically.
"It's incredible." Merlin couldn't help shaking his head, with an unimaginable expression on his face, "Brother Ao, you can remember the number of other people's children, but you can't remember the number of your own. With so many wives, it must be difficult to manage them? Quite a few.
You may need to hire someone to manage the house, eh, are you sure August is your son?"
The lords were quarreling for a while. At this time, Benson announced the results of the competition, "In the first round of the Enchanter Competition, 46 people passed. Taking into account the two factors of synthesis time and work quality, the first place was No. 089 Gu Nansheng, and No. 089 Gu Nansheng won the first place.
Second place, No. 002 Jerome, third place, No. 003 Berlin, fourth place"
While Benson was announcing the results, Luo Jia kept looking at Gu Nansheng who was sitting in the corner meditating, and the smile on his face grew stronger and stronger.
Although Luojia was at a high level in the Bloody City, it was difficult for him to find a confidant. Apart from him, the other enchanters could only reach level four at the highest level. He could not find anyone to discuss any problem he encountered.
At five o'clock that afternoon, Gu Nansheng woke up from meditation. At this time, there were not many people in the enchantment hall. Looking around, Merlin and his party were all there.
Feng Lao was delayed a lot of time due to the failure to synthesize the second three-star equipment, so he was not much faster than Gu Nansheng. He had just recovered from meditation an hour ago, and the two yuan generals had not recovered. Merlin was worried and kept waiting.
, others naturally followed suit.
"Brother Gu, how are you recovering?" Merlin asked with a smile.
"It's okay." Gu Nansheng moved his numb legs, took a deep breath, and his mental strength was restored to its best condition.
"Lao Feng just told me that the quality of your sky plate is not very good. There happens to be a fairly good sky plate in the Enchanter Guild in Dongcheng. I wonder if Brother Gu is interested."
Gu Nansheng was not polite and helped Merlin solve such a big crisis. He wanted to figure out what to do and just agreed directly.
"Should we go out to eat something first?" Merlin suggested. Even a high-level transferred warrior would be a little unbearable without eating for several days in a row.
Gu Nansheng shook his head and said: "Forget it, this is not our territory after all. It's not safe. Let's go see Tianpan first."
"That's fine, that's what I'm thinking about." Merlin took out the communication crystal and told the guards outside the door to prepare for the East City Enchanter Guild. At the same time, he notified the guild's servants to prepare for the dinner.
While Mei Lin was talking, Gu Nansheng caught a glimpse of Siyou behind Mei Lin. Her expression was a little panicked for some reason, her head kept lowered, and her eyes were a little dodgey.
There was a trace of haggardness that could not be concealed on her plain white face.
Unexpectedly, this girl has waited until now. Although there is a rest room next to the enchantment hall, Siyou is weak after all, and it must be uncomfortable to spend more than a hundred hours here.
When a group of people walked out of the Enchanter's Guild and passed through the corridor, Merlin deliberately lagged half a step behind Gu Nansheng.
Gu Nansheng naturally noticed this small detail. Every time he slowed down and wanted to walk side by side with Merlin, Merlin would stretch out his hand and make a gesture of invitation. Gu Nansheng couldn't help but sigh. Merlin is indeed a polite corporal. This kind of person can easily make his subordinates willing.
Work hard for it...
Through today's game, Merlin has classified Gu Nansheng into the ranks of fifth-level enchanters. Level-5 enchanters are at least level 20 transfer heroes. For this reason alone, Gu Nansheng is already on a par with him.
Therefore, Merlin himself felt that being half a step behind Gu Nansheng did not insult his status.
Four carriages were waiting outside. The carriages were luxuriously decorated. Bright magic lights were hung around the dome roof, which was somewhat like European palace lights. The carriages were spacious enough for a person to lie down, and the ground was covered with soft
With velvet carpets, shock-absorbing devices under the seats, and the emblem of the Lord of East City engraved in fine gold, this carriage probably cost no less than three thousand gold coins.
Gu Nansheng was lamenting the luxury of the lord's life. Five enchanters including Merlin and Feng Lao had already boarded the carriage. The six of them were riding in a carriage. It seemed that they had already discussed it. They got on the carriage very quickly. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.
Gu Nansheng and Siyou are two people.
Gu Nansheng was stunned, looked at the only remaining carriage, and then looked at Siyou who was in a daze beside him. Is this a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement?
The sudden change made Siyou a little confused. She could guess with her toes that her father had used magic transmission to discuss this with the other five old guys, and he didn't even ask for her consent.
Siyou deliberately stood in front of Gu Nansheng so that she could avoid the awkward look at each other. She complained about her father's arrangement. If she had known about it in advance, she would not have ridden in a carriage alone with Gu Nansheng even if she had been killed.
If someone doesn't want it, he takes the initiative to deliver it to his door. It's so embarrassing.
Thinking of this, Siyou bravely walked to the carriage where her father and Feng Lao were riding. The carriage was very spacious, and it was not a problem for four people to sit side by side. As long as she got on the carriage, there was no way her father could drive her out.
But she never expected that the carriage seemed to have eyes on the back. She just took two steps. The driver whipped his whip, the horse neighed, and pulled the carriage away.
Siyou was stunned, and her steps stopped in mid-air. She never thought that her father had already guarded against this move.
Immediately afterwards, the other two carriages also started to move. Gu Nansheng was not stupid. Seeing this scene, he vaguely guessed Merlin's intention. According to common sense, he should ride in the same carriage as Merlin, not Siyou.
Seeing Siyou's hesitant steps, Gu Nansheng naturally understood that girls are thin-skinned. At this time, a girl would be even more embarrassed if a man acted like a mother-in-law, so he pulled Siyou's sleeve and pointed to the only carriage.
"Miss Siyou, I'm sorry, but I have to force you to ride in the same car with me. We have to get on the bus quickly, otherwise the distance between the carriages will be longer and it will be difficult to be a bodyguard."
After saying that, Gu Nansheng opened the car door and made a greeting gesture. After all, he was from a business background, so he still knew how to be polite.
Siyou felt her heart beating unsatisfactorily. She took a breath and calmed down. Siyou, Siyou, why are you so reluctant to let go today? We were just riding in the same carriage. No one thought about it.
What, what are you thinking about?
Thinking of this, Siyou smiled as naturally as possible, said thank you in a low voice, and then got into the carriage.
The carriage was very high and Siyou was weak, so Gu Nansheng helped her hand.
Although he knew in his heart that this was the most common etiquette when men and women rode in a carriage together, Siyou still felt a little weak when their skin was touching.
Siyou didn't know whether she was tired these past few days or because her body was really too weak. Suddenly when she climbed high, she felt dizzy in her head. She almost fell into Gu Nansheng's arms, otherwise she really wouldn't have to live.
Although Augustus may have opened the car door for her many times before and behaved like a gentleman - to be precise, he was much more gentlemanly than Gu Nansheng...
But Siyou was always careful to avoid August's hand, because his father once said that although August was talented and hard-working, he was very wealthy and had a poor private life. Like father, like son.
.
Because of these words, Siyou always felt that August's gentlemanly smile was disgusting.
After Siyou got on the carriage, he immediately opened the curtains and pretended to look at the scenery without turning his head to look at Gu Nansheng.
At this time, Gu Nansheng felt a little uncomfortable. He unconsciously touched his face, thinking to himself that I didn't look so ugly.
To be fair, Gu Nansheng's skin is pretty good, and he looks like a gentleman at first glance. When he was in high school, a little girl chased him, but because Gu Nansheng was really innocent at that time, his first love had not yet begun.
It has been declared over.
After coming to Duota Continent, Gu Nansheng's appearance has been tempered by soul energy, and he has become a bit more handsome. If he returns to Earth now, he will probably be "fascinating".
The carriage moved very smoothly. The road in the bloody capital was originally smooth. Coupled with the superb skills of the driver and the shock absorbing device under the seat, even if a glass of water was placed, not a drop would be spilled.
"Well" Siyou spoke first, her voice seemed a little hesitant, "My father and Mr. Feng have something to talk about tonight."
Gu Nansheng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Siyou meant. She meant that Meilin and Feng Laotong were riding in a car today to discuss matters, and definitely not to create an atmosphere intentionally to push their daughter to him.
Gu Nansheng secretly thought that he might have been too preoccupied just now. Although Merlin needed him very much, he loved his daughter more and would never sacrifice her daughter's happiness for his own future.
Thinking of this, Gu Nansheng felt a little more comfortable, and the conversation became more casual, "How is your health lately? A lot of words."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your treatment. I'm feeling much better."
Silence again.
After a long time, Siyou suddenly said: "It's quite beautiful outside."
When Gu Nansheng heard the sound, he also looked out the window and saw gorgeous magic lights intertwined beside the spacious avenue, while a few solitary lights hidden in the distant night looked a bit precarious.
Gu Nansheng has always stubbornly believed that loneliness is a kind of freedom and a state of mind. Even when he was eating instant noodles, carrying a tattered travel bag, wandering around and desperate, he never gave up the stubbornness hidden in his heart.
He can pretend to be a grandson in order to negotiate a business deal, and he can hypocritically socialize with those businessmen who cannibalize people without spitting out their bones for the sake of business.
But he doesn't need others to comfort him. Whether it's his former relatives or his girlfriend who has left him, he would rather never appear in front of them.
"It's quite beautiful and relatively quiet." Gu Nansheng responded.
The Central City is a city within a city in the Blood City. Everyone who enters the city has a certain status. There are relatively few cases of murder, arson, and torture of slaves, so this place can barely be regarded as a pure land in the Blood City.
When the carriage left the middle city, Siyou withdrew his gaze because he didn't want to see the bloody scenes that often happened.
"Why did you come to the bloody city? I mean - why did you go through this kind of life and death experience, just to become stronger?" Siyou turned his head and looked at Gu Nansheng calmly. The moonlight shone down like silver yarn.
It is usually attached to her pale and somewhat haggard face, making her look quite as ethereal as the Han Palace.
Gu Nansheng's heart moved. He had seen too many beauties in Duota Continent. Compared with them, Siyou's appearance was not outstanding, but she had a unique and cold temperament.
This kind of coldness is not like an iceberg that has not melted for thousands of years, but it is like a pure snow lotus that people cannot bear to approach.
After organizing his words, Gu Nansheng said: "In order to meet destiny, this continent may not be peaceful forever"...
"Won't it calm down? You mean the war between the natural disaster guards?" Siyou smoothed the hair in front of her forehead. She had completely restored her usual calmness.
Gu Nansheng shook his head and replied: "No, the natural disaster guards are just superficial."
"Appearance?"
Gu Nansheng said half-jokingly: "Who knows, maybe the existence of this world itself is a conspiracy."
"What?" Siyou didn't understand for a moment.
Gu Nansheng shrugged and stopped explaining. Everything was just his speculation. He would have to ask Eisenfrog for the truth.
"What about the little girl with you? Why did she come to the bloody city?" Siyou asked pretending to be casual, but his ears were perked up, listening carefully to Gu Nansheng's answer.
"You mean Lina, she is a disciple of a friend of mine. I didn't want to bring her here, but she insisted on following me."
"Oh" Siyou responded casually. The information Gu Nansheng gave was really limited, but it was hard for her to ask again. She was the kind of girl who would rather suffer than let go of her pride. If she asked too many questions, Gu Nansheng would naturally understand.
Be suspicious.
In fact, Mei Lin had promised Siyou a long time ago that Gu Nansheng and Lina would never have any "illegal" relationship. But Siyou knew that Gu Nansheng was very protective of Lina. If Lina and him were ordinary friends, then he and he were just friends.
It's like a stranger's relationship.
Gu Nansheng may fight for Lina, but he will not lose even a little profit for himself.
Thinking of this, Siyou felt a little uncomfortable. She lowered her head and stared at the soft velvet on the carpet quietly. Siyou, what do you want?
"It will take about half a year to cure your illness." Gu Nansheng actually had a way to cure Siyou within a month, but considering that he was not strong enough, it was better to delay it as long as possible.
"Well, thank you. Actually, I'm not in a hurry." Siyou is really not in a hurry, because she knows that once Gu Nansheng cures her illness, the two of them will probably have nothing to do with each other in the future. Their strength is too different, and they don't belong to the same group at all.
A world.
At this time, the Dongcheng Enchanter Guild——
"Everyone, please cheer up!" Xiaolan, wearing a blue skirt, was lecturing in front of a group of girls. Her hard-soled leather boots kept squeaking as she walked.
Xiaolan used to be a salesperson in the scroll section of the Enchanter Guild in Dongcheng, because Gu Nansheng's mutated scroll offended two enchanters, Hassan and Luo Ka, but later she recommended Gu Nansheng and was promoted to the foreman of the Enchanter Guild by Merlin. Now
All the waiters and salespeople in the guild are under her control.
"It's fate that we have been sisters for so long. Let me remind you that today is your best opportunity. The lord will come in person and bring a group of big shots with him to draw all your eyeliners for me.
If your breasts are puffed up, your thighs are "exposed", if your butt is loose, you can hold it for me. If you have a belly, you can hold it in for me. I don't think you are stupid. You also know what kind of hell this bloody city is.
, come here, live one day to make money, live two days to make money, to be honest, the sisters who can stand here are already lucky, look at the girls in the brothel, is that how people live?
?Look at those male slaves again. How many of them can live for more than a month? But if we can stand here safely today, it may not happen tomorrow, so you all need to be more energetic tonight. I don’t know.
If you get noticed by some big shot and take her in as a personal maid, aunt or something like that, you will have a sure future!"
In Dongcheng District, the capital of blood, Merlin is the emperor. If the Lord's Mansion and the Enchanter's Guild are compared to the imperial city, and the female slaves inside are compared to the palace maids, then the competition here is more cruel than the harem, and the fate of the female slaves is even worse than that of the palace maids.
miserable.
Merlin rarely visits the Enchanter Guild in person, and even if he does, not every female slave can see it. In the past, concubines who were not popular in ancient times would rarely see the emperor for a while, so once they have the opportunity, they will do their best to attract the emperor.
attention...
I don't want a sparrow to turn into a phoenix, I just want to live a stable life without worrying about the fate of tomorrow.
At this time, nine men and one woman came down from the second floor. A man walking at the front asked: "Xiaolan, are you ready? There will be a big scene in a moment, Lord Lord, Lord Fengli, Lord Hassan"
Wait until all the powerful people in Dongcheng come, don't cause any trouble."
Xiaolan immediately said with a smile on her face: "Don't worry, Mr. Dan, I promise not to ruin your situation. If something happens, Xiaolan, the foreman, will be done with it."
"Well, that's good."
These nine men and one woman are all enchanter apprentices of the East City Enchanter Guild. "Second Master Dan" is the second one to join the apprenticeship, so Xiaolan calls him Second Master. The oldest apprentice, Riel, has already reached the apprenticeship level.
Enchanter level, this time I went to the Enchanter Competition with Merlin, but unfortunately, he failed to pass the initial preliminary selection.
These enchanter apprentices, including Riel, are eleven people in total. They have a very high status in the enchanter guild. Apart from Feng Lao Hassan and other five enchanters, they are them. Below them, there are people like Xiao Lan.
The meritorious servant is here.
"Put away your collars and expose a large piece of white hair to whoever! A bunch of local chickens don't care about their own virtues. Who do they want to seduce?" A sharp female voice suddenly sounded from the stairs.
