Chapter 311 Isn’t This Really a Rebellion?
"Uncle!"
Hearing that Norman actually said he was going to kill Zhou Qing, You Hui was shocked and quickly stood in front of Zhou Qing with open arms, "He is Tina's friend, and also my friend! I won't allow you to do it! Otherwise, I will not recognize you as my uncle!"
Tang San also narrowed his eyes slightly, put his hands behind his back unconsciously, and took out a few wind leaf darts from the Yue Ziming in the twelfth floor.
But Norman ignored Youhui and just stared at Zhou Qing.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Zhou Qing chuckled and said, "Master Norman, it seems that you can't beat me?"
"Cough cough!"
Norman coughed violently twice, feeling embarrassed and speechless. He said faintly, "You kid, you really love to tell the truth! That's right, you can even kill a Fallen Soul Sect-level one, let alone a Great Soul Master like me? And I'm so old now, if we really fight, I'll probably sprain my waist before I even touch you."
After saying that, Norman bent his body, put his right hand around and tapped his back, and waved his left hand in front of Zhou Qing and others, indicating that they could leave.
Before Zhou Qing was about to step out of the door, Norman stopped him and said, "To be honest, I really want to see what kind of storms you can stir up on this continent in the future."
"Then please don't pass our information to the higher-ups, Mr. Norman. After all, we want to live a peaceful life."
Zhou Qing turned his head with a smile.
"Ah."
Norman also laughed and cursed:
"I don't think you are someone who will stay at peace!"
"But don't worry, the higher-level Spirit Hall won't care about you. Every year, so many lists of spirit masters are submitted and uploaded one level at a time. When it comes to the Spirit Hall, the relevant personnel only organize and record the names, but don't pay much attention to them. Even if you have full innate spirit power, if you don't join the Spirit Hall, you still have to reach the Soul Venerable realm to be noticed by the Soul Kings and Soul Emperors in the Spirit Hall. "
"The Spirit Hall upholds the attitude that the strong are respected. Even if you make a big noise in Falling Star City and even spread it across the entire continent, the powerful spirit masters in the Spirit Hall will at most be surprised."
At this point, Zhou Qing was completely relieved.
Originally, he was most worried about making too much noise and attracting the attention of the Spirit Hall, but now that he has learned more details about the Spirit Hall, he can be bolder in his next actions...
In the blink of an eye, two days passed quickly.
The people in Luoxing City have all paid their taxes and donations. Those who could not pay mortgaged their houses. At one time, nearly 60% of the houses of the city’s population belonged to Daries.
For a time, everyone complained about Darles, but they were not soul masters and did not have the courage to resist Darles, so they could only curse him secretly.
And Dales immediately announced to the public that he would buy the soul sand and soul crystals dug out by the people in the city at a suitable price afterwards.
This trick really worked, and it made the people in the city focus their attention on digging soul sand.
"Zhou Qing, Tang San, what do you think, how much will that idiot Darles offer for the soul sand?" On the way to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss the extermination of the Fallen, Xiao Wu walked on the road that had been dug up beyond recognition. Looking at the city residents who were working hard, she couldn't help but become interested.
"With Darius' stinginess, I estimate that the maximum is one silver soul coin per kilogram." Tang San sighed, "Most people can't make any profit. At most, they can make up for the shortfall of one thousand gold soul coins they paid."
"Zhou Qing, what do you think?" Xiao Wu nodded and looked at the silent Zhou Qing, wanting to know his opinion.
"Replace the 'silver' in the Silver Soul Coin with 'copper'." Zhou Qing said concisely.
But Tang San was not calm: "One copper soul coin per kilogram? If Darles really does this, it will arouse public indignation, right?"
"Think about it. Dales collects taxes based on the number of people, 1,000 gold soul coins per head. 20,000 people means 20 million gold soul coins. If they can make up for the 1,000 gold soul coins they handed in, how much can Dales earn? One time? Two times? Or ten times?"
Zhou Qing asked back, "He has big ambitions, and is aiming for a hundred or a thousand times the profit! I even suspect that the price of one bronze soul coin per kilogram will drop!"
"As for arousing public indignation... Just as you worried before, they can't be united. They have no power, and they have concerns in their hearts. Moreover, if they are really pushed into a corner, they don't know how to act. If they are frightened a little, they will fall apart and shrink back, unless - someone can lead them!"
Now Tang San understood!
They are the ones who lead the people in the city to rebel against Darles at the right time and in the right place!
but--
“Isn’t this really a rebellion?”
Tang San tilted his head, feeling a little too anxious.
"This is just an experiment. We are just helping the people in the city to seek justice from Darles. How can it be called a rebellion?"
Zhou Qing blinked his eyes. "Besides, Darles is in cahoots with the Fallen, but the fact is - he wants to use us to wipe out the insiders at Luoxing Slope, 50 miles outside the south city. So we can also leave one or two alive and let Mr. Norman protect them as evidence."
"As long as Darles is proven to have a connection with the Fallen, the people in the city will be innocent. In addition, the high-ranking officials of the Star Luo Empire will definitely not allow the impact of this incident to expand for the sake of their reputation. It is best to make a big thing small and a small thing nothing."
Fallen one!
This is the target that the entire continent is cracking down on!
If the fact that a city lord in Xing Luo has a connection with the Fallen is widely publicized, the entire Xing Luo Empire may be labeled as the "Land of the Fallen" by the Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Empire.
Although this is at most a joke when the two empires and the Spirit Hall are at peace, once a war breaks out, this label can be taken too far and used as one of the legitimate reasons for attacking the Star Luo Empire.
"Haha, you guys are finally here!"
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Darles came up to greet them personally, showing his big white teeth and looking very happy.
"Lord City Lord, have you recovered from your injuries in the past two days? Why don't you rest for a few more days?" Zhou Qing was quite concerned about Dales' physical condition.
"It's okay. I'm a Soul Master after all. I have a strong physique. How can I be hurt so easily? I was just irritated on the speech stage two days ago." Dales said it easily, as if he didn't care about the injury he suffered two days ago at all.
Zhou Qing nodded slightly, and followed Darles into the mansion with his companions beside him, but he was somewhat confused in his heart——
Is the person in front of me really Darles?
Zhou Qing practiced the Xiantian Neijing Diagram and was quite sensitive to the auras of different people, especially after he accidentally awakened the "Hegemonic Color" - although he did not fully control it, his sensitivity was improved by three points.
The man in front of him looked the same as Darles in appearance, voice, and even the lines on his palms. The fluctuations of his soul power were also similar, but his aura was completely different from Darles. Instead, it was exactly the same as that of the butler whose figure was not much different from Darles...
