Feeling Gu Nansheng approaching, Augustus' body twitched. He raised his cloudy eyes and looked at the figure in front of him. After a long time, he recognized Gu Nansheng.
Instantly, his pupils were filled with resentment and crazy hatred. He opened his mouth and his voice was hoarse and dry, "Tell me, why? Why did I lose?"
Gu Nansheng was silent, and Luo Jia replied coldly: "You lost because you chose the wrong opponent. You were blind to your strength. It's ridiculous that you overestimate your capabilities."
"I'm not convinced"
"I don't accept it!" August shouted hysterically, struggling to bite Gu Nansheng regardless of the pain of the iron hook penetrating into his bones.
Gu Nansheng stood there, coldly watching Augustus's futile struggle, but did not take action. Somehow, seeing this opponent who was trying every means to kill him fall to this level, Gu Nansheng felt no pleasure in his heart.
What a glorious time Augustus was. He was the most talented enchanter among the young generation in the bloody city. He was courteous, handsome, powerful but not arrogant. His strategies were superior to those of others. He could manipulate his enemies at the palm of his hand.
Among them, he can easily push his woman onto the bed.
Such a man of the hour in the blood-soaked city has now become a lost dog with his limbs cut off, biting like crazy, hung on a rack and left to be eaten by mermaids.
Destiny is so unpredictable.
Gu Nansheng remained motionless. After a long time, until August's roar began to become hoarse, Luojia reminded: "Mr. Gu, the lord barrier that Lord Xicheng gave to August has been shattered by me, and the mark of the barrier has fallen.
If it's on me, even if Oaker traces it, he won't trace it to you. Of course, with that senior here, even if he traces it to you, he won't dare to do anything to you.
Are you going to do it now? Or are you going to torture him for a while? The healing ointment has been laid out, and if it’s not enough, there’s more in the drawer.”
Seeing that Gu Nansheng had not taken action yet, Luo Jia said doubtfully: "Mr. Gu, I think you know what the other party is planning to do to you? If you were hung up here today, he would only torture you crazily.
To death, I don’t think you will be overflowing with sympathy? Quite a few words”
Gu Nansheng suddenly chuckled, turned to Luo Jia and said meaningfully: "If it weren't for that letter, maybe it's me who is hanging here? There are a lot of words."
Luo Jia's voice was stagnant, and his face looked a little unhappy. He laughed twice and said, "Mr. Gu is joking."
"I just don't like your way of doing things. I mean, your way of doing things that is aloof and thinks of yourself as a judge."
Luo Jia said: "Mr. Gu, are you complaining that I am nosy?"
Gu Nansheng did not answer, but silently took out Frostmourne and looked at August with a trace of pity in his eyes.
What can a lifetime hero do, so what if all his agencies are exhausted? It’s not like he turns into a cup of ashes.
In the face of absolute power, tactics and wisdom pale in comparison.
August looked at Frostmourne with blood-red eyes, gritted his teeth and uttered a few words, "I! Do! Ghost! Nor! Will! Let! Let! You!"
"Then let's wait until you become a ghost." Gu Nansheng waved the sword indifferently. In the black light, August's head rolled to the ground and blood spurted out.
Looking at Augustus's dead head, Gu Nansheng said calmly: "If you want the ghost to be dispersed, you can come to me after you die."
Gu Nansheng wiped the blood of Frostmourne with Augustus's clothes, and said to Luojia without looking back: "Your Majesty, I will not take away your position as city lord, nor will I stay in the bloody city for a long time.
Capital, you can rest assured about this."
Luo Jia replied with some embarrassment: "Mr. Gu is serious. With Mr. Gu's talent and development potential, naturally he will not set his sights on a small place like the Capital of Blood."
Gu Nansheng crushed an upgraded gem of average quality, and violent red flames burst out from his palm. He threw it away, and August's body immediately burst into flames, and a pungent burnt smell gradually filled the entire execution room.
"Your Majesty, please remove the ghoul polyps from my body. I will be leaving the Bloody City in the near future."
"Okay! No problem." Luo Jia was extremely surprised when he heard the news. This ancestor was planning to leave. As long as he left, the evil star would not have to come to him.
In fact, ghoul polyps are very difficult to remove. They have a lifespan of ten years and will die automatically after that. The removal Akasha talks about is actually transfer, that is, Central Emperor Lorca transferred the polyps to his body...
However, Luojia usually doesn't leave the bloody capital, so it doesn't matter even if he endures this tracking polyp.
"Whenever I look at this bloody city in the middle of the night, I can feel a kind of wild beauty, violence, conquest, power, etc., which is full of aggression.
The breath, or in other words, the breath of a man. I always feel that this city conquered and swallowed me up like a strong man," Luo Mei said lovingly while looking at the glorious sunset.
Listening to this little girl's provocative words, Gu Nansheng couldn't laugh or cry. Today was the day he was leaving and he had just packed his things.
When he left this time, he decided to take An Qi and Xiao Lina with him. As for Siyou, due to her limited strength, it was safer for her to stay in the bloody city.
He has redeemed a pass for An Qi to leave the Bloody City, which also means that he will have to take part in the final test within ten years.
"Little girl, it's time for you to go home for dinner." Gu Nansheng said to Luo Mei with a smile. From the bottom of his heart, he admired this little girl for being so shameless as to join the farewell procession. She was the best person here.
Don't know either.
The carriage was ready. Merlin stuffed many precious materials and items that might be used into the carriage, and left Gu Nansheng with gold cards worth a total of 800,000 gold coins. All of these gold cards can be used in the Netherworld Empire. This is not
It’s strange, after all, there are frequent trade exchanges between the Bloody Capital and the Netherworld Imperial Capital.
Lina and An Qi had already gotten in the car in advance.
Gu Nansheng turned his head and saw Siyou standing quietly under the maple tree at the entrance of Donghuang Mansion, wearing a snow-white dress, standing as quietly as a spring gardenia.
Behind her is the brilliant sunset.
Siyou was smiling calmly, the orange sunshine outlined her demure and beautiful face, dragging her slender body into a long shadow.
Feeling Gu Nansheng's gaze, she moved her mouth and said four ordinary words that couldn't be more ordinary: "Be careful along the way."
Gu Nansheng felt warm in his heart, smiled at Siyou, and replied: "I will be back soon."
When the carriage drove out of the city gate of the bloody capital, Gu Nansheng looked back at the gray city and was filled with emotions. Not counting the time when the celestial body was in stasis, he had stayed here for a total of nine months.
These nine months seem like nine years.
One month later, in the Netherworld Imperial Capital, the Earl of Huayue Hotel——
The area of the Netherworld Imperial City is much larger than that of the Capital of Blood. There are countless hotels in it. According to the level, from low to high, they are the Baron Hotel, the Viscount Hotel, the Earl Hotel, the Marquis Hotel, and the Duke Hotel.
The Earl Hotel is already a very high-end hotel, because most hotels don't even have that level.
In a window seat of Huayue Hotel, a man in Tsing Yi was slowly drinking wine. Opposite him sat two girls with bright eyes and white teeth.
One of the girls looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. She was wearing a red magic robe, holding a knife and fork, and was concentrating on the plate of fried eggs in front of her.
The other girl looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and her skin was as good as snow. She looked a little reserved, holding a cylindrical teacup in both hands, staring at the exquisite embroidery on the tablecloth in a daze.
These three people are Gu Nansheng, Xiao Lina and An Qi.
"Sir, we have been sitting here for a long time, why don't we go back to our room to rest?" The speaker was Lina. After leaving the bloody city, for the sake of safety, Gu Nansheng asked the two girls not to call him by his real name, nor Mr. Gu.
Brother Gu and the like, after all, this surname Gu is basically not seen in Duota Continent.
He himself also disguised himself slightly. The black clothes were too conspicuous, so he put on an ordinary blue shirt.
Although in such a vast multi-tower continent, the possibility of Gu Nansheng being bumped into by Knuckles and his men is close to zero, but it is always right to be careful.
"Wait a moment." Gu Nansheng responded, still drinking.
"Good sir, you have drunk a lot of wine." Lina puffed up her red cheeks and said a little unhappy.
Gu Nansheng was stunned for a moment, then put down his wine glass with a smile, "Xiao Xiudou, when did you start meddling in things? This is not a good sign."
Lina blushed, stopped talking, and continued to fiddle with her fried eggs.
Gu Nansheng smiled and turned to look out the window. It was already late at night. Through the window, he could see the bright stars and thousands of lights in the night sky...
The Netherworld Emperor City is much more prosperous and larger than the Blood City, but there are far fewer experts here than the Blood City. After all, this is just a metropolis, not a killing field.
In fact, even if masters of the same level in two cities met, the master from the bloody city would have a better chance of winning. The murderous aura accumulated through experience in the field of life and death is not comparable to those warriors who upgrade by killing monsters.
Gu Nansheng is analyzing the situation he is facing now. With his strength, it is not difficult to meet the head of the Krisif family, but it is difficult to get the fountain of life. Even if the head of the Krisif family has a heart for talents,
If he is willing to use the fountain of life to win over him, he will probably have to sign some kind of contract. He has served in the Krisif family for 180 years. It is impossible for Gu Nansheng to agree to such conditions.
If he wanted to rob, Gu Nansheng thought that he did not have the strength yet. Even if the Krisif family did not have legendary heroes, they must have accumulated a lot of first-level and second-level powerhouses. He faced a first-level and second-level powerhouse without control skills.
A strong person can easily deal with it, but if you deal with someone who controls you to death, you will be completely helpless.
What's more, Gu Nansheng doesn't know the hidden location of the Fountain of Life. This precious item must be well hidden. Even if the Chrissy family allows Gu Nansheng to search it casually, he will definitely not be able to find it.
Now there is only one way, and that is to sneak into the Chrissy family, secretly investigate the location of the Fountain of Life, and steal it.
"Boss Yuan." Gu Nansheng said suddenly, "It's so late. Where did you go before you came back?"
A slightly bald middle-aged man heard Gu Nansheng's voice and turned his head with a smile, "Ah, it turns out it's Mr. Nan. It's so late and he hasn't gone back to his room to rest."
Yuen Long is the owner of the Huayue Hotel. Although he is just an ordinary person, to be able to open an earl-level hotel in the Netherworld Capital, Yuen Long must have some background.
Although the Netherworld Imperial Capital has much less killing than the Bloody Capital, it is still a neutral territory after all, with a mixture of fish and dragons. It is not easy to get an industry in peace and quiet.
Gu Nansheng pointed to the seat opposite, "If you're not in a hurry to rest, just sit down and have a drink."
"Mr. Nan, you're so polite." Yuen Long was always very polite to Gu Nansheng. If nothing else, just the 200 gold coins that Gu Nansheng paid for the room in one go made Yuen Long know that this Mr. Nan was not a small person.
.
The lowest room rate at the Earl of Huayue Hotel is 30 silver coins per day. Gu Nansheng lived in a luxurious suite with three bedrooms and one living room, and the room rate per day was 1 gold coin and 88 silver coins. This is not a small amount for ordinary people.
After leaving the bloody city, gold coins are still very valuable. If you are in Biluo City, ten gold coins are enough for a family of three to spend half a year.
Generally speaking, if guests are staying for several months, they will rent a house instead of staying in a hotel. 200 gold coins can already buy a small house near the city.
Boss Yuan poured himself a glass of wine, toasted it to Gu Nansheng, drank it first, and then answered Gu Nansheng's previous question, "Mr. Nan, I went to the Chrissy family during the day. You also know that if you open a store here, you will definitely have to pay taxes.
Now, I can enjoy the shade under the big tree."
Gu Nansheng nodded. Although the Netherworld Imperial City was more peaceful than the bloody capital, there were still a lot of murders and swindling. Without a big family to protect them, the shops might have been smashed by others.
"Boss Yuan should know a lot about the Chrissy family. There are a lot of people who don't know what's going on with the Witch Doctor Tower, the old enemy of the Chrissy family?"
"Witch Doctor's Tower?" Boss Yuan pondered for a moment, "Witch Doctor's Tower is too far away from the Bloody Capital. Even in the entire Netherworld, it is a corner place, and it is also hidden in the Witch Doctor's Tower.
In the valley, who knows what they are doing these days, I guess nothing big happened."
Gu Nansheng was stunned and looked at An Qi with some doubts. An Qi nodded and said that indeed, as Boss Yuan said, the Witch Doctor's Tower is a mysterious and distant existence for ordinary people in the Netherworld.
Only the upper echelons of the Netherworld knew the fact that the Witch Doctor's Tower had been destroyed.
Gu Nansheng asked again: "There haven't been any major incidents in the Netherworld Imperial Capital recently."
Boss Yuan pointed at the table with his thick and short fingers, and leaned over with his big chubby face, "Mr. Nan, this is what I have heard, the Chrissy family is going to choose the head of the family."
"oh?"
Boss Yuan looked around and confirmed that no one was around. Then he moved his fat face a little closer and said somewhat mysteriously: "To put it bluntly, the Chrissy family is the royal family of the Netherworld. Choosing the head of the family is the same as choosing the emperor. I see.
Sooner or later, the Chrissy family will become emperor. It is said that the fourth prince has the greatest chance of winning among the eight heirs this time. The sensible people in the Netherworld Empire have begun to swear allegiance to him. This kind of thing, once the bet is right,
The new emperor has prospered since he ascended the throne, but if he bets wrong, he will lose all his money. In fact, these things have nothing to do with me, a common man. I am just telling you in private, don't dare to "make chaos" when you go out.
Say it.”….
Seeing the mysterious look on Boss Yuan's face, Gu Nansheng secretly laughed in his heart. This fat old man was talking to him like this just to get closer. However, this gave him a chance. As long as he could assist an heir to ascend to the position of head of the family, then the fountain of life
It's at your fingertips.
"Boss Yuan, please tell me, what are the characteristics of each of these eight heirs?"
"These eight heirs are seven men and one woman. Among them, the eldest prince has average qualifications but is very jealous; the second prince is somewhat powerful and has a deep palace; the third prince is greedy for beauty and is not very interested in the position of the head of the family.
, but women are very interested; the fourth prince has the best talent, practices hard, and has great ambitions; the fifth prince is obsessed with business, and started running the family business at the age of twenty, managing thousands of people in an orderly manner; the sixth prince is equally talented, and is Keli.
The principal of Sifu Academy stays in the academy all day; the seventh princess is the only female among the eight heirs, and her strength is good, but there is still a big gap compared to her brothers; the eighth prince is still a child
, is playful by nature, and if his mother hadn’t repeatedly urged him, he probably wouldn’t have participated in the fight for the position of head of the family.”
Since the transferred hero has a long lifespan and has many children throughout his life, the age gap is naturally very large. Boss Yuan said that the age gap between the eldest prince and the eighth prince is hundreds of years.
The so-called heirs are the more talented children selected from all the children.
After Gu Nansheng thought for a while, he had an idea in mind. He decided to support the sixth prince. Although the eighth prince was younger and easier to control, Gu Nansheng was not a god. A child without much strength would not be able to ascend to the throne no matter how he supported him.
"Are there any masters at Chrissy College?"
When the subject of masters came up, Boss Yuan became interested, "There must be masters. All the teachers in the college are masters, but the real super master is the deputy dean of Krisif College. It is said that he is a transferred hero.
Level 17 or 8, that’s a first-level powerhouse.”
Speaking of the excitement, the fat on Boss Yuan's face kept trembling, "The sixth prince, the dean, is actually not bad. It is said that he is also a first-level powerhouse, but he has just reached the first-level powerhouse not long ago."
Is he a first-level powerhouse? Gu Nansheng gently turned the wine glass with his index finger and thumb. Merlin, as the leader among the heirs of the Krisif family, has only reached the level of a second-level powerhouse in recent years. This is because he has been bleeding in these years.
Only by going through life and death in the capital and caring about the safety of Siyou's mother and daughter can he make such progress. According to this speculation, it is not bad that the sixth prince can now reach the realm of a first-order powerhouse.
"Mr. Nan is going to study at Chrissy College? It's a lot of words." In Boss Yuan's view, Gu Nansheng is a playboy. His family has a lot of money, but he himself is not very capable. He took two beauties out to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
Now, when I heard about the academy, I naturally wanted to hang out there and see if I could pick up a few more beauties.
Gu Nansheng put down his wine glass and said expressionlessly: "I'm not going to study, I'm going to cause trouble."
"What?" Boss Yuan's two little eyes blinked, completely stunned.
Since Gu Nansheng wants to negotiate with the Sixth Prince, he must build momentum for himself before the negotiation and show enough strength. It is best to let the Sixth Prince come to him, so that he can ask for a huge price, otherwise with his current status
