"I lost. I didn't expect that you look young, but you are already a strong man at least the sixth ring level. Yesterday, it was me who was meddling in my own business."
The gray-haired old man spoke again, his old voice full of helplessness and a little temptation, "I don't think you came here just to cause trouble for me. I don't know what your purpose is."
"I come from outside the Sun and Moon Empire. If I want to establish some business in the Ming Capital, I need some reliable helpers."
Yan casually let go of the old man's shoulder, then turned his back to him and continued: "I need someone who knows the Sun Moon City well, and preferably a soul master. I think you are very suitable."
The gray-haired old man looked at Yan in surprise, "You want to recruit me to join your force, in this way?"
Yan then said: "You have the strength of the fifth ring, but you are hiding on this street corner. You must have some enemies that are not easy to provoke. Can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help."
"Haha, what a joke."
The old man was stunned for a moment and then laughed. Yan looked back at him, his eyes full of solemnity. The old man seemed to feel his sincerity, a complicated look appeared in his eyes, and he sighed: "That's fine, it's just me.
I want to take revenge, but I don’t know when and how long it will take to succeed. If you want to hear it, I’ll tell you.
You should have guessed it, I have not awakened my martial spirit for a long time, and I was very old when I awakened. The money I saved was not for myself, but for my daughter..."
The old man told his story, a very simple story about a noble bullying others. There are too many nobles in the city of Mingdu. Although small people can get more opportunities here, it is also easier to get in touch with them.
Big shot.
About twenty years ago, this old man's family was harmed by a nobleman because of some trivial matter. He was the only one to escape. He spent all his savings to awaken his martial soul and wanted to take revenge. However, the enemy's power was too great, and he did not have a single blow to kill him.
I have been waiting for the certainty of killing for many years.
So many years have passed, and the nobleman back then has inherited the family business and become a great nobleman. When he travels, he is followed and protected by strong men of at least the fifth or even sixth ring level. He can't find a chance to take revenge at all, so he can only hide and lurk.
Mingdu.
Yan was silent for a while after listening to the old man's story, and without thinking for long, he spoke again: "What's the name of your enemy? His mansion or residence should be not far from here."
The old man seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said quickly: "He is the Marquis of the Empire, so naturally he will not live near here, but a manor nearby belongs to him, and he comes to stay for a few days every month, but that is also him.
The time of greatest preparedness.”
"You wait first."
After Yan turned his head and said something again, the figure disappeared instantly. The streets in Mingdu are complicated, especially in some slums in the outer city. There are many illegal buildings and other self-built things. It is easy for outsiders to come here.
get lost.
After Yan walked around the street a few times, he came to a place where the outer city and the inner city met. There was a manor at the end of the street in front of him. After observing for a while, he found that the figure had come under the high wall.
…
In the shop on the corner of the street, Dick was rubbing some medicinal wine on himself. He had just fought with Yan. Although the latter was merciful, he was still slightly injured. Just when he was about to put down the medicinal wine, he suddenly heard something outside.
There are some small movements.
"This, this is that guy..."
An object was thrown into the room and fell in front of him. After the old man Dick saw it, his body couldn't help but tremble. His dream for many years was realized, and his enemy finally died in front of him.
"I checked him out before I killed him. He was indeed a guy who did all kinds of evil. He also had a plan for death. You didn't deceive me. That's good."
Yan's voice came from outside the door. He had already changed his clothes and slowly walked into the room. Then he came all the way to the guest seat of the shop and sat down, looking at the old man again.
"Thank you, Your Excellency. From now on, Old Dick's life will be yours."
The old man cried bitterly, his clothes wet with tears, but he didn't care and knelt down in front of Yan while sobbing loudly.
"You have been in Mingdu for many years, and you should have some unique intelligence and methods. Help me establish a stronghold here and recruit some people."
Yan casually took a sip of tea and tasted snacks, and then ordered the old man to do things. He was originally such a lazy person who could instruct others to do things, but would never do it himself unless it was something particularly important.
.
The old man quickly said solemnly: "Your Majesty is my great benefactor. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of things for you."
"Um."
Yan nodded and waved, and then walked to the backyard of the shop, where the old man usually lived. The conditions were not very good, but for the time being, it was more suitable for him to hide here.
He wiped out the whole family of a big nobleman in broad daylight, destroyed a marquis' mansion, and killed many dark-skinned nobles. This was still in the Sun and Moon City, the capital of the Sun and Moon Empire. This incident had already caused a sensation in the city, and now it's full of people outside.
Of course he has to be careful about people who avoid him.
"Don't worry, Lord, I will handle the matter here."
The gray-haired old man Dick made a promise to Yan, took some things, nodded slightly and said hello to Yan, and then left the small courtyard.
"Yan, what are you discussing? Why can't I understand you?"
Shortly after Dick left, a small head popped out of Yan's arms. The much smaller demon soul Great White Shark Bai Xiuxiu asked Yan that this guy was not ordinary curious about some things.
"You don't understand these yet, so it's best not to understand them."
Yan reached out and gently touched Bai Xiuxiu's big head and smiled, without explaining too much to her. For the time being, let the carefree little shark continue to be carefree.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...
The Jingyang Mountains are located in the north-central part of the New World, about a thousand meters straight away from the Sun and Moon City, the capital of the Sun and Moon Empire.
This mountain range covers a very large area, with branches extending in all directions and covered with a large amount of vegetation. Inside the mountain range, there are extremely rich mineral resources, accompanied by many special spirit beasts that like metal energy.
This place can be regarded as a paradise for many adventurers. Every year, countless adventurers go deep into the Jingyang Mountains, either for resources, soul beasts, mineral deposits or even legendary treasures. Anyway, the reasons are all kinds of strange, and Jingyang is also fascinated by them.
The mountains are even more lively.
"Yan, I feel the presence of a lot of spirit beasts in front of me. When are we going to eat?"
On the official road outside the Jingyang Mountains, a figure slowly approached the outside of the mountains. It was Yan who had temporarily left Sun Moon City.
The turmoil he caused in Sun Moon City was not small, and it was difficult to calm down for a while. The trouble was not small, so he temporarily left Sun Moon City at the suggestion of the old man Dick and entrusted Dick with the responsibility of the affairs there.
It can be regarded as a test for him.
Yan was not worried that Dick would act recklessly or run away. Of course, he left some means before leaving, hoping that Dick would not disappoint his hopes.
After he left Sun Moon City, he headed north again towards the Jingyang Mountains. Probably because the further north he went, the closer he got to the gathering place of soul beasts. The further north he went, the more desolate he became. Until now, this place is...
There are not many traces of human activities left.
This situation makes Bai Xiuxiu very happy. Because only in this inaccessible situation, she can talk to Yan anytime and anywhere. In a place with many people, she can only stay silent or even hide, although she is very obedient.
, but also very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I won't starve you. But, you don't even have a neck, you should lose weight."
Yan finally stopped in a leeward valley near the Jingyang Mountains. After preparing some dry firewood and building a fire with local materials, he started to take action. Bai Xiuxiu was doing something nearby and was very unhappy when he heard what he said.
.
Bai Xiuxiu's voice is very cute and pleasant, and she feels like she's being coquettish when she loses her temper. "Sharks can't even see their necks. Shouyan, the bad guy, knows how to bully me..."
Yan suppressed the groaning Bai Xiuxiu with one hand, and then took out something from the soul guide. Although this long journey away from Sun Moon City was rather abrupt, Yan was still very well prepared.
Because Bai Xiuxiu is a big foodie around him, and he also likes to enjoy and eat, he brings a lot of things. Vegetables, fruits, various fresh meats and seasonings, and even various kitchen utensils, tableware, etc.
, everything is available.
"Xiuxiu, go fan me and light a fire."
Yan directed Bai Xiuxiu to participate in the exercise, and while talking, he skillfully placed the barbecue grill he carried. Bai Xiuxiu's eyes shone with that familiar look.
Little Shark watched Yan place the skewers one by one and brush them with layers of sauce, oil and honey, and her big mouth secreted saliva unconsciously. If she hadn't had any hands and feet, she would definitely have participated at this time.
Yan slapped the restless little shark's head aside, and while doing things, he did not forget to warn: "Don't mess around, watch the surrounding situation for me, these are not yet cooked, eat too much raw,
His mouth stinks."
Bai Xiuxiu listened to Yan's words. After reluctantly chewing two fruits, she controlled the soul guide to let her body fly into the sky, and then observed the surroundings to let out wind.
This is not because Yan is overthinking or anything, but there are certain risks in living and cooking in the wild. It is easy to attract not only wild beasts, but also humans. And in the poor wild environment of the New World, meeting humans is not a big deal.
Not a good thing.
PS: This is the second chapter of January 28th. It was not coded until this morning. The main reason is that the author has a lot of work and is a little stuck. Don’t worry, it’s just like these days. I will definitely try to adjust it before the Chinese New Year.
