"We ask to see the City Lord!" The old woman and others submitted an application to see the City Lord, and explained that it was related to the Soul Eater Skin Drum. In this way, we could avoid the City Lord being "busy with business" and not having time to summon him for a long time.
As expected, the old woman's approach was correct. In less than a quarter of an hour, they were summoned.
The old woman and others escorted "Lin Bei" into the city lord's mansion and came to a main hall.
"Meng Linrong pays homage to the Lord of the City!"
The old woman spoke.
The other four people also stepped forward one after another, bowed their hands, bowed, and announced their identities in a respectful manner.
The first one.
The city lord's eyes were quite sharp. His gaze swept over the old woman and others, and finally settled on Lin Bei.
"Everyone, take a seat."
The city lord spoke.
The old woman and others then stood up and found seats to sit down.
Of course, "Lin Bei" is not included.
"Lin Bei" was still standing in the main hall. However, he showed a sense of awe, as if he was curious, but did not dare to look directly at the city lord.
"Where's the Soul Eater Skin Drum?"
After the old woman and others sat down, the city lord asked.
The old woman immediately stood up again and said: "For the information of the city lord, the Soul-Eating Man's Skin Drum is on Lin Bei's body. We only captured him, but if we use force to capture the Soul-Eating Man's Skin Drum, he will die together. To be on the safe side,
We just suppressed him. Then, he said he wanted to join Purgatory and was willing to hand over the Soul Eater Skin Drum, so we brought him back and asked the City Lord to make a decision!"
"That's it." The city lord nodded. Then, he waved his hand and motioned for the old woman and others to go down.
The old woman and others did not dare to ask any more questions, so they quickly stood up and exited the hall.
In the main hall, only the city lord and "Lin Bei" were left!
"Where's the Soul-Eating Man's Skin Drum?" the city lord asked, his eyes still sharp, but not that breathtaking.
"Lin Bei" then looked at him: "Handing over the Soul Eater Skin Drum, does that mean I can join Purgatory?"
"Hand over the Soul-Eating Man's Skin Drum, and I will report your situation to the higher-ups for a decision. Before that, I won't hurt you. I just need you to stay in the City Lord's Mansion." The City Lord responded.
Because it involves the Soul-Eating Man Skin Drum, and there is a kill order issued by the headquarters, even he cannot deal with Lin Bei privately, and needs to report the situation.
But he was also a little excited in his heart. He retrieved the Soul-Eating Man's Skin Drum through his hands and handed it over. Even if he didn't get the God Fruit, he would definitely have a share of the credit.
This is a lot of money!
"Then please City Lord, please report it first. If you allow me to join Purgatory, or revoke the pursuit order against me, then I will hand over the Soul Eater Skin Drum. Lord City Lord, you don't have to worry about me playing tricks.
What's the trick? Next, I will stay in the City Lord's Mansion, and every move I make will be under the surveillance of the City Lord."
"Lin Bei" said.
As soon as these words came out, the city lord's eyes narrowed slightly, and a suffocating sense of oppression instantly filled the entire hall. This made "Lin Bei" overwhelmed, and he used all his power, but he could only resist it.
He was forced to kneel down.
"Lord City Lord, if you want to kill me, just kill me directly. Anyway, if you can't join Purgatory, or cancel the fatwa against me, I won't survive today, but I won't survive tomorrow."
"Lin Bei" gritted his teeth and held on, seemingly speaking with great difficulty.
"Are you threatening me?" The city lord stared at Lin Bei.
Lin Bei shook his head: "I don't dare! I just want to survive, and the Soul-Eating Man's Skin Drum is what keeps me alive. I want to grab this life-saving straw!"
The city lord stared at Lin Bei and said nothing.
There was silence in the main hall.
But it was filled with a terrifying atmosphere.
"If I had known it would happen, why would I do it in the first place!" The city lord snorted coldly.
Lin Bei naturally knew that he was referring to his robbery of the Soul Eater's skin drum.
Lin Bei said: "At that time, I was greedy and lacked the awe of purgatory! Now I regret it. I want to make amends!"
"Ha!" The city lord sneered.
However, after a few breaths, he said: "Okay, for the sake of your honesty. I will give you this opportunity. Just stay in the city lord's mansion and wait for news."
Of course he did not admire Lin Bei. The reason why he agreed with Lin Bei's decision was quite similar to the thoughts of the old woman and others.
In fact, Lin Bei captured the Soul Eater Skin Drum and is now willing to hand it over to join Purgatory, which is a good thing for the city lord.
If other people in their purgatory had obtained the Soul-Eating Man's Skin Drum at that time, then the contribution of the Soul-Eating Man's Skin Drum had nothing to do with him.
But now... that's different!
...
Next.
Lin Bei withdrew from the main hall.
"Lin Bei, how is the matter?"
The old woman and others had exited the main hall before, but did not leave the City Lord's Mansion. When they saw Lin Bei coming out, they hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Likewise, it’s not that I care about Lin Bei.
Lin Bei's life and death had something to do with them.
They just care about whether they can get the divine fruit that day!
Lin Bei shrugged and said, "Let's wait for the news!"
As Lin Bei finished speaking, a maid came over and said, "Follow me!"
She took Lin Bei to a side hall for entertaining guests and said, "Next, you will live here, and you are not allowed to leave this place without permission."
After saying this, the maid left.
Lin Bei smiled and entered the house directly, waiting for the news!
...
The other side.
The city lord was sitting on the throne, and in front of him was a simple round mirror with a bronze handle and a brass mirror.
"Lin Bei, who took away the Soul-Eating Man's Skin Drum, has arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. In order to survive, he applied to join Purgatory in the hope that the pursuit order against him would be revoked. Only in this way would he be willing to hand over the Soul-Eating Man's Skin Drum. Otherwise,
I would rather die together with the Soul Eater!"
After the city lord said such words, the ancient mirror with a bronze handle and a brass surface produced mysterious fluctuations, as if it was connected to somewhere and transmitted his words.
After a while.
The city lord put the mirror away.
Ru Linbei is waiting for news...
Likewise, he also needs to wait for a reply!
After putting away the mirror, he looked towards where Lin Bei was. In his eyes, all the buildings seemed to be nothing, allowing him to clearly see Lin Bei's movement.
And this is different from the exploration of spiritual consciousness.
The person being inspected will not have any sense of being spied on.
"I hope this kid can bring me some credit. In this case, I will be more confident that I will be promoted to the elder class as soon as possible."
"If not, we must make it impossible for him to live or die!"
