Ted came to the city lord's mansion, and there were guards at the door, who stopped Ted.
Then, the guards went to the mansion to report.
At this time, the city lord was pacing back and forth in the hall, looking absentminded and thinking about something.
His face sometimes showed a worried expression, and he looked very anxious.
Just then, the guard came to report.
"Ted, what is he doing here?"
The city lord noticed a change in his face, glanced at the guard, and said, "Let him in."
Soon, the guards led Ted over.
Ted walked into the hall and the guard turned and left.
"How did you come?"
The city lord looked at Ted with an indifferent expression.
Ted walked to the front and sat down casually. He took the initiative to pour himself a glass of water, then looked up at the city lord, "You don't seem to be in a good mood."
Looking at the other party with the old god, the city lord had a hint of irritation in his eyes, "Stop talking nonsense, who asked you to come?"
Ted was not angry. He took a sip of water and said calmly: "Is it because I have been waiting for no news for a long time and my heart is in a state of confusion, so when I saw me appearing, I became a little angry?"
"I don't know what you are talking about. Leave now, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"
The city lord's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he issued an order to expel the guests.
"Do you know how Xingsha City came to be?"
Ted put down the water glass and glanced at the city lord.
The city lord, who already had a cold look in his eyes, was slightly startled and asked subconsciously: "How did you get here?"
"Back then, blue crystal particles were discovered in this area, so Star Sand City was born." Ted said.
"Are you kidding me?" Murderous intent appeared in the city lord's eyes.
Ted smiled faintly and said: "Young man, don't be impulsive. I haven't finished what I said. After the blue crystal particles were discovered, this Sand Star City appeared just to mine the blue crystal particles here."
The murderous intent grew stronger in the eyes of the city lord, and the temperature in the hall dropped sharply. This is something that all the children in Shaxing City know. Why do you want this old guy to talk so much?
He was already ready to take action because today he was so upset that he wanted to kill someone.
And he was a majestic city lord, but he still had a way to deal with the consequences after killing a mere three realms person.
The most important thing is that once the news comes back, this old guy will die!
Ted still said calmly: "After that, there was Blue Sand Island!"
"What?"
The city lord was stunned, and the murderous intent in his eyes disappeared little by little, "You said there was Star Sand City first, and then there was Blue Sand Island?"
"That's right."
Ted said: "This is the origin of Star Sand City."
"Old guy, have you lost your mind and gone crazy? Blue Sand Island has been around for a long time. How old is this broken city?"
The city lord said dissatisfied: "So what, this is just a dilapidated city at the moment."
"You have been the city lord here for three hundred years, but you still don't understand this city. It seems that you really don't like it here."
Ted sighed and said, "Do you know what the three words Blue Shazhou mean?"
"Isn't it what blue crystal means? The blue sand here means blue crystal, which represents power and resources."
The city lord answered seriously, because he vaguely felt that this old guy seemed different from usual.
Ted smiled and said, "Your explanation is reasonable. The blue sand in Blue Sand Island can also be regarded as blue crystal particles. However, you can also think that 'blue' is the 'blue' of the Lan family."
"What, the Lan family?"
After hearing this word, the city lord's expression suddenly changed.
Being in Lanshazhou, who doesn’t know the Lan family?
That is a truly behemoth, an existence that keeps its promise!
If the Ghost King and his like control many cities and have an extraordinary status, then the Lan family controls half of Lanshazhou's territory, and all the Ghost King and his like are under their jurisdiction.
Although he was shocked by this secret, the city lord quickly came to his senses and said, "What does this have to do with me?"
Ted said calmly: "Blue represents the Lan family, and sand has a homophonic pronunciation of sand."
The city lord's heart felt again. In this blue sand island, there was another huge family, the Sha family, which could compete with the Lan family.
But, what does this have to do with me?
What's the point of telling me this secret?
Ted said in a deep voice: "The first head of the Lan family was called Lan Xing."
"Blue Star... Star Sand City... Star Sand... Could it be...?"
The combination of these words made the city lord guess a possibility. Could it be that the two aristocratic families today made their fortunes from this place?
Doesn't that mean that this is the ancestral land where they made their fortune?
Seeing the change in the city lord's expression, Ted praised: "It seems you are not stupid. Yes, this is the ancestral land where the blue and sand families made their fortunes. The city was originally named after one of them.
This is why, every time a crisis occurs in this dilapidated city, it can always survive the crisis and remain standing."
"What does this have to do with me?"
The city lord was shocked and said forcefully, but the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Ted looked up at the city lord and said, "Because the people we want to protect this time are the people of the Lan family."
"What?"
The city lord almost jumped up. Is the young lady they want to protect this time a member of the Lan family?
How can this be?
Does the behemoth Lan family still need their protection?
"So, although you have been the city lord here for three hundred years, you are just here to make money. You have never liked this place at all. Naturally, you have never thought about getting to know this city. Do you really think that we are all just some people?"
An old fool who has lived a little longer? You can discover the identities of Zi Chen and the others, but we can't?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Ted's eyes, "Do you really think that the houses on our street are really high-quality and affordable and accessible to everyone?"
"In the past few years, you deliberately used tricks to keep people away from our street. Do you really think that the reason for our silence is just because we are afraid of you?"
"Tell me, what do you mean?"
Seeing the sarcasm in Ted's eyes, the city lord turned pale, because this was a secret. Why did Ted tell him this secret?
And how can he guarantee that he will not spread this secret?
"I originally wanted to give you a chance, but I didn't expect that not only were you so bold, you even wanted to swallow my share."
Ted shook his head and said, "It's a pity for you, you are so greedy, you want to eat everything."
"I don't understand what you are talking about." The city lord's face became increasingly ugly.
"Have you not received the news yet?"
Ted glanced at the city lord and said: "The Lan family is nostalgic and has always paid attention to this place, so this city can always exist. The Sha family has always been radical and gave up here long ago. You, you took the wrong train this time.
"
After Ted finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Stop, what do you mean by this? Aren't you afraid that I will tell this secret?" the city lord shouted loudly.
Ted looked back at the city lord, and the sarcasm in his eyes became even more intense.
Can the dead speak?
On that day, the City Lord's Mansion had a new owner.
A young man named Lan Zhan became the new city lord.
At the same time, this also heralds that the Lan family will officially take over the city.

In the dense forest, Zi Chen looked at the bandit leader in front of him, "Is it really that difficult for you to look behind you?"
"Are you trying to deceive me with such childish tricks?" The other party sneered: "None of you can leave today!"
Zi Chen said again: "Then why don't you think about why those people who were injured and escaped didn't come back again?"
The other party's expression changed slightly, but he still did not turn around, "You are too cunning. After I kill you, I will naturally go back and take a look."
"Forget it if you don't believe it."
Zi Chen said lightly, and when the words fell, the eyes of the bandit leader were filled with darkness.
When the black light dissipated, a small black beast stood in the air.
It's a ghost that never takes action.
"Clean the battlefield and leave."
