Chapter 281 Darles' Different Attitude
At this time, Ning Rongrong had already brought the Soul Sect that was protecting her to "mark" the locations of the buried soul crystals on the four main roads leading to the east, south, west, and north. She took out an oval-shaped soul crystal that she liked from each of them, and then ordered people to bury the others back.
"Miss, what else do you want me to do next?"
"what--"
Ning Rongrong just stretched, pointed at the patrol officers from Falling Star City who came over, and yawned, "You go deal with them."
"Yes!"
It is actually very simple to deal with the patrolling soldiers in the city. Just release your martial soul/martial soul possession and reveal your spirit rings, and they will not dare to come over to ask questions.
The movement in the city also reached the city lord's mansion.
When Darles heard the news from his subordinates, he was wondering what the previous city lords were up to, when he saw a servant coming to report: "Lord, the heir of the You family in the city, Baron Youhui, sent a visiting card and gifts."
"You family?"
Dales frowned and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out who this Youhui was. He could only guess based on the name that she might be a woman.
"Invite her in!"
"My Lord, she is not alone. She is accompanied by the daughter of the deputy mayor of Notting City, Romantina."
"Oh?"
Darles' eyes lit up when he heard this. "Come in! Prepare tea! Serve snacks!"
After a while, Youhui and Romantina came to the living room led by the servants.
"Haha! It really brings honor to my humble abode that you two are here!"
Darles came forward to greet him, smiling, but with that fat face and the trembling upward mustache on his lips——
No matter how you look at it, it's disgusting.
Youhui was a little timid, but after being gently patted on the back by Romantina, she reacted and immediately said, "Dad... Lord Les, I... am Youhui, a hereditary baron. Today... I came here to visit you. Do you have something to ask of you?"
After saying this, the smile on Darles' face froze a little.
[This girl looks pretty good. Her figure is not much inferior to Romantina's. It can only be said that they each have their own characteristics. But why is she a stutterer? ]
"Take a seat first."
But this smile only froze for a moment, then returned to normal and invited Youhui and Romantina to take a seat.
"I wonder what's going on?"
After the servant poured tea for the three people, Darles looked at Youhui first and got straight to the point.
After all, something happened in the city—
There are soul crystals buried under the roads in Luoxing City! And it also involves the disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect...
He had to investigate as soon as possible, and at the same time, ask the guards and patrolmen in the city not to make things difficult for him, otherwise his job as city lord would be over. He finally found an opportunity to make Notting City chaotic for a while, and planned to use the "soul bone" as an excuse to stir up trouble in Notting City again after Hu Fangyuan finished his retreat.
The purpose of cooperating with Nottingham City to hold a "friendly match" every three years is also to keep the turmoil in Nottingham from stopping, and even expand the chaos to other small towns.
And now, his Luoxing City is also showing signs of unrest due to the temporary settlement of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect... Therefore, if it was only Romantina, whom he coveted in his heart, who came to visit, he would be willing to chat more, but since Youhui, who stuttered, also came to visit, he didn't want to waste his breath.
You Hui realized that she was too nervous just now, so she took a deep breath, and then said everything she wanted to say in one breath: "It's like this, City Lord, my parents died six years ago, and you said at the time that they encountered the Fallen... I came here this time because I hope you can tell me the specific situation at that time!"
Darles was startled.
It turns out it’s not stuttering!
However, he now recognizes who You Hui is...
Six years ago, not long after he came here to take office, a noble couple seemed to notice Hu Fangyuan hiding in the dark, and realized that something was wrong with him...
In order to prevent future troubles, he secretly ordered people to attack the two and handed them over to Hu Fangyuan as nourishment for cultivation, to prevent future troubles. And now Youhui is their daughter.
"Why···"
Dales sighed, "I have tried my best to investigate this matter over the years, but the city's affairs are very busy, and you also know the situation of the Fallen. That kind of people are always good at disguising themselves, coming and going without a trace, and there is no way to investigate them. Although the local Wuhun branch hall has also launched an investigation, it found nothing in the end. They also think it is a vendetta, not the work of the Fallen... I hope you will condole my condolences! Let the past be the past, people always have to look forward..."
Youhui had long been immune to this cliché. She lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
But Darles no longer paid attention to Youhui. He glanced at Romantina and said with a smile, "Ms. Roman, how come you have time to visit me? Are you here to deliver a letter for your father?"
"No."
Facing Darles's undisguised and extremely aggressive gaze, Romantina had no expression on her face. She just stood up from her seat, put one hand across her chest, bowed respectfully, and then told the purpose of her visit, "I hope the city lord knows that Youhui and I are close friends. This time, I didn't come here specifically to visit you. I just came here with Youhui to ask the city lord something."
The smile on Darles' face faded slightly, and he pretended to be angry and said, "What's the matter, Miss Roman? Just say it! Falling Star City and Notting City have already agreed on a three-year friendly match, which can form a friendship for generations to come. Why are you so unfaithful?"
"In that case, I won't hide it."
Romantina said, "I came to Luoxing City this time to accept a mission from the Notting Guild to hunt down the soul master's accomplice who attacked the Xiao Mansion at night. The mission paper described him as a great soul master, but in fact, he is a soul master."
"Recently, a Soul Douluo-level expert passed by Notting City. He was a kind person and told me that he sensed that the Soul Sect was coming to Falling Star City..."
Dales's eyes trembled slightly, and his lips trembled: "Ms. Roman, are you sure? How could that Soul Master escape to my Falling Star City? Also, you just broke through to the Soul Master realm recently, and your soul power is only at level 11, right? How dare you hunt down a Soul Master?"
"I wouldn't dare to do it alone, but I have joined an adventure group. With their help, I can fight against not only the Soul Sect but even the Soul King." Romantina was extremely confident.
Darles' eyelids twitched.
Soul King?
How dare you say that!
Although he was disdainful in his heart, he said: "Miss Roman, you must be mistaken. The Soul Sect will never come to Falling Star City."
"But the person who instructed me is a Soul Douluo. He is currently in Notting City and will stay for three to five days. How about Lord City Lord, come with me to Notting City to ask him about it?"
Romantina seemed anxious.
But Darles is more urgent!
After all, Hu Fangyuan said it clearly, a powerful man with extremely strong mental power really came to Notting City!
How dare he confront a Contra?
Moreover, there are Titled Douluo from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect staying in his Luoxing City temporarily. If they leave, and the people in the city are ignorant and offend them, he, as the city lord, will not be able to escape the blame!
