The thought of seeing the ugly face of the city lord again made Ling Xiao feel interesting. Normally, the city lord should not want to see him, so it would be best to let Ling Xiao disappear, in the physical sense.
After all, the city lord had suffered from depression at Ling Xiao's place. This was a black mark that could not be erased for the city lord who had always been very impressive. Basically, he was not happy to see Ling Xiao.
This is human nature. No one is very happy to see themselves embarrassed in front of others. This is not even a matter of being embarrassed, it is completely a situation of social death.
As a human being, if I have ever had this kind of experience, I would like to turn back time, and I would never do the same thing, so as not to be remembered as a black mark. But turning back time is completely delusional. If you have the ability, you will not even think about how to turn back time.
Most people know that black spots cannot be erased at all, and they wish that everyone would forget that black history. But how could everyone forget? Generally, scenes of social death are easier to remember.
As one of the parties involved, I wish I could erase this memory. Only by forgetting that scene can I not feel the embarrassment at all. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be forgotten, so it is inevitable to get angry.
The most likely targets of anger are those who saw the scene of their social death, especially their enemies, who remember it very deeply. Most people most likely do not want those people to appear in front of them because they feel too embarrassed.
In this case, as the frustrated party, the city lord, he really doesn't want to see the instigator, because when he sees the other party, he will think of the previous conflict. However, Ling Xiao didn't sign the contract at all, and the city lord has nothing to do with the other party for the time being.
Even if that kind of concession is inevitable, it will still make the city lord very annoyed. According to the noble's urine, this person should really want to destroy Ling Xiao.
However, due to various reasons, Ling Xiao could not be eliminated for the time being. The main reason was that the city lord noticed the association's distrust and sent more troops here during this period. He even blatantly told the city lord's palace that he wanted to ensure the safety of the pharmacist.
When the city lord insisted that the pharmacists left Windhearth City and had no idea where they went after that, the people from the association sent additional manpower to ensure the safety of the pharmacists.
When the city lord found out, he felt that he had shot himself in the foot. He was completely unable to refuse the association's increase in manpower. This shows that Ling Xiao's weight in the association is not light.
This is also one of the reasons why the city lord gritted his teeth but did not take action after Ling Xiao's hard fight. You must know that the people in the association have something to say: once it is discovered that the city lord knows the problem but pretends not to know and cheats the pharmacist, the association will never let go easily.
Pass.
The city lord laughed, but of course he couldn't change his story, because the previous incident had touched the bottom line of the association, and as a person involved, he certainly couldn't admit it.
Later, he talked with Ling Xiao and others, thinking about deceiving the three pharmacists. In his opinion, pharmacists are mostly idiots who don't pay much attention to external things, and are easy to fool.
Even if the deception fails, he can also try the threat of violence. Although the threat from the association makes him a little afraid, he is more concerned about his future development.
In fact, after he met his favorite goddess, after some conversation, he felt that slavery was good and could greatly squeeze out the money-producing power of those slaves.
For example, pharmacists can only refine a few bottles a day as free people, but after becoming slaves, they can squeeze them in every possible way, and their production capacity is much greater.
It's a pity that the number of people is still small, and it is completely impossible to control the market. As a city lord, he has never been a soft-faced person. The city lord's mansion has been taking away a lot of free people's business. It used to be just asking for prescriptions, but now I think it should also include people.
Signed.
Ideologically, he felt that slavery was good, and he became more greedy and courageous. Even though he felt that the association had discovered something wrong with him, he still refused to give up and was unwilling to let go.
Because the original city lord was a Celestial Dragon, but now he feels that he is superior to others, and he is really unwilling to give in because of the association.
There is another reason: the goddess wants a money-making machine, but the money he can provide is not enough, and the goddess prefers that her subordinates can make money so that they do not feel regretful about spending it.
The city lord naturally looked around for candidates because he wanted the goddess to live a good life without worrying about running out of money. However, there were not many ways to make money, so in the end he started targeting pharmacists again and again.
Even if the association discovered a problem and even issued more or less warnings, the city lord felt that as long as he was not caught by people from the association, he would never admit what he had done.
In his opinion, those lowly civilians should serve the nobles, and they should be treated as cattle and horses, and they should die in exhaustion.
If pharmacists had to be literate, otherwise they would not be able to pass on the knowledge, so he wanted to seize the opportunity to learn and prevent civilians from having the opportunity to learn more.
After the common people learned something, they became rebellious and even organized themselves to fight against the nobles. However, the noble nobles had to give in. Why didn't this make him extremely irritable?
As he becomes more of a Tianlong in his heart, he hates the Pharmacists Association even more, so he will not stop his actions because of the association. This is why in Ling Xiao's opinion, his actions and thoughts are really stupid, but he himself is not at all.
I can feel it, and I haven’t stopped trying to commit suicide.
The city lord wanted to deceive him at first, but when he found out that it didn't work, he became furious. He never expected to meet an outsider who had traveled through many worlds and was not afraid of the city lord at all.
In the end, the three pharmacists had to be let go, because the guard behind Ling Xiao kept his hand on the weapon, and the eyes under his visor were calm to the point of indifference, which made the city owner suspect that if the attack continued, the other person would kill him with a sword.
Also, after he woke up after being furious, he remembered that Ling Xiao was a person sent by the association, so he had to stop the original attack quickly. Knowing that he could not directly confront the association, he thought about how to smooth things over, and must not involve him.
My own goddess.
After Ling Xiao left, he had no plans to attack the three pharmacists for the time being. You must know that six pharmacists had disappeared before, and the association was still investigating. If something happened to these three again, the association would never let him go.
of.
The association is very ruthless and will use various means to retaliate, such as no longer supplying goods to those blacklisted. This is a protest for the entire pharmaceutical industry.
It is said that some nobles were tricked into spending a lot more money to buy suitable potions. There were also cases where they were unable to buy important potions even though they had money, which resulted in the death of several nobles.
They even took out some precious potions to invite people for revenge. It was said that they were looking for people who specialized in assassinations, which led to the death of some nobles. The association was completely rude. In fact, most of the nobles who died in assassinations were bounties paid by the association.
.
Although other nobles have not officially found relevant evidence or information, it is easy to see who is behind the scenes when a person dies after offending the association.
But the remaining nobles had no choice. When those people forcibly took the pharmacist away and later caused the pharmacist's death, the people from the association found other nobles and demanded justice. The nobles at that time ignored them at all and instead talked about who was more powerful.
Who has the final say.
After hearing this, the people in the association laughed until they shed tears before leaving. After that, news of the deaths of the nobles who had plotted against the pharmacist came one after another.
After that, the association never approached the nobles for justice, but directly took cruel measures. However, most of the pharmacists were still very affectionate towards the association and stood on the association's side.
It was precisely because of the association's ruthlessness that the later nobles, although they still didn't like pharmacists in their hearts, were still a little more taboo about the association.
The city lord was a little afraid of the association, but he also felt unconvinced. An organization composed of civilians dared to compete with the nobles, which completely broke his Tianlong heart.
Moreover, he wanted to serve the goddess wholeheartedly and was a little dizzy when doing things, but Ling Xiao's actions were like pouring cold water on him, which made him sober up for a while before letting them go, but he did not dare to let them go.
Mansion.
No matter what, they still play a role similar to hostages. The goddess still wants to take down the pharmacist. You must know that one of the six previous pharmacists died unexpectedly, and the others are full of resentment, so the speed cannot be increased at all.
Why are you willing to teach people, so you want more pharmacists?
She expressed the opposite opinion when the city lord wanted to let him go, saying that she could try other methods. The relationship between the association and the pharmacists was not very close, so if the pharmacists were willing, the association could not force the pharmacists to leave.
.
This is also the reason for the appearance of this dance, and Ling Xiao is the chosen one. After all, he still looks very young. People of this level usually focus on work and have never experienced the ups and downs of love.
Once you fall in love, you will be devoted to it.
A woman like this can easily seize her weakness and use it to the advantage of the blond beauty. You must know that there have been people who had a bad relationship with the blond beauty before. After someone made peace, they actually turned enemies into friends.
The goddess was very confident in taking down the female pharmacist. She knew that among these pharmacists, she made the best medicines, had the highest value, and had the best techniques. Therefore, the blond beauty was completely reluctant to let Ling Xiao go.
This is the reason why the city lord let Ling Xiao attend the dance not long ago. If it weren't for the blond beauty, the city lord wouldn't want to see Ling Xiao at all. If he wanted to see her, it would take a longer time to get rid of the shame as much as possible.
Ling Xiao, who didn't know much about the inside story, finished sorting it out and went out with a bit of nonchalance, because at her level, she wouldn't take anything to heart about the dance, and she preferred nature.
When we arrived at the place, we found that there were really a lot of people here, and they were all dressed in gorgeous clothes. However, Ling Xiao felt that she was suffering a little because she had superhuman six senses, and there were so many people at this dance, which caused a lot of various smells.
For example, body odor, eh! It feels really off-putting. In addition, there is a lot of spices. It should smell better, but Ling Xiao feels that it really doesn't smell good.
Don’t think that having too many spices is a good thing. The most fragrant smells bad. For example, the top spice ambergris is originally very smelly. If it hadn’t been soaked in sea water for many years, I’m afraid you would leave early even if you encounter it. You would never expect it to transform into something
spices.
Ambergris is the intestinal secretion of sperm whales. Naturally, it cannot be fragrant. It cannot be fragrant either as feces or as the wax substance secreted after swallowing cuttlefish.
Moreover, fragrance and fragrance are intertwined together, and they mutate after interacting with each other. This smell is not pleasant, so Ling Xiao quickly shuts down his sense of smell and ran to a place with the fewest people.
Some people had nothing to do, so they went to get food to eat. After taking a look at the so-called food, they found that it was indeed a bit more upscale than the previous food, but it couldn't be called gourmet. It's really difficult to find a gourmet master these days.
After all, cooking well does not increase your chances of survival much. People with some strength prefer to become warriors themselves to increase their chances of survival.
There are also people who do not have the talent for fighting and can study how to cook, but they often do not live long, because once they do well, they will either be forced to serve as referees by the nobles, or they will directly become the subordinates of the nobles. Who wants to be like this? Therefore
Just cook whatever you want.
When Ling Xiao knew this reason, he didn't know what to say, so how nice it would be to have a peaceful and stable living environment, and sighed. What was going on?
She took a look, took some food, and took it to a higher place. Anyway, she had arrived at the dance, but that didn't mean she had to contact those people. Do you think she didn't know?
These nobles all have a very high self-esteem, and they will fly to the sky if they are not good. They have their own rules. As a pharmacist, if you want to come to your door, you will only get ridicule.
Ha! Speaking of which, someone is really powerful. Among the three pharmacists, she was the only one who came to the dance. At this time, people often look for someone to talk to, but will others treat Ling Xiao kindly?
It's impossible, because there is an insurmountable gap between classes. As a member of the aristocracy, how can he deal with Ling Xiao? In their eyes, Ling Xiao is not a person in need of help, but more likely a plaything.
Therefore, after Ling Xiao entered the dance, she was completely isolated from everyone else. No one talked to her, and no one was near her. Everyone stayed away from her, as if Ling Xiao was a god of plague, but Ling Xiao didn't care about the other party at all.
move.
Instead, I looked at the situation around me with a bit of bad taste. I saw those women applying their eyebrows and hair on their temples one by one. They looked very normal. In fact, there were several pairs of feet and feet secretly hooking up where others could not see them. Haha.
!
At the same time, Ling Xiao felt that someone was observing him, and he discovered the radiant blonde beauty. Speaking of it, she was really a great beauty. That was the feeling after seeing her, and nothing more.
There were many men surrounding the blond beauty. It could be said that they were very intimate. What made Ling Xiao most amused was that the men knew each other, including the city lord with an ugly face.
The reason for his bad expression was because he saw Ling Xiao. The city lord wanted to find an opportunity to kill Ling Xiao, but he had to endure it. Ling Xiao looked at the constipated city lord and was secretly amused.
After this period of observation, I can tell that the blond beauty should be a Mary Sue, but I wonder if she can sue men everywhere?
Ling Xiao's mouth twitched as he looked at it. As an outsider, he didn't care what the blonde beauty did. She was not a child. How she lived was her own business.
Ling Xiao will not specifically target those people, but he will never get close to them, because he will accidentally become their tool. Anyway, sometimes there is no need to talk to them.
