Chapter 326 What do you mean? "what do you mean?" Norman seemed to have grasped the key point, but perhaps because he was old and his thoughts were not clear enough, he could not think of the details, so he could only beg Zhou Qing not to keep him in suspense. "Looking at the expressions of those people, they are not so loyal to Darles. I'm afraid Darles has something on them." Zhou Qing laughed and expressed his guess. "They are all soul masters who love freedom and are always carefree. The only thing that can make them bow down is power, money, status, beauty, etc., or being threatened." "Based on their angry but unaware attitude towards the fake Darles, it is basically certain that they were threatened, not that Darles promised them anything. Otherwise, how could they be so stubborn at the critical moment of life and death? Life is much more precious than money, beauty, etc." "With your ability, sir, you can find their information, resolve their predicament, and perhaps win them over to our side." "If we want to defeat Darles openly, we must strive for all the power we can get!" Norman's eyes lit up when he heard that.
Fight for all the power you can? It is really the truth! [This kid not only has a strong talent for cultivation, but also has a unique way of dealing with people, and——] [Is he trying to win me over now, or rather, to win the power of the Spirit Hall, to accomplish his goal? This is truly amazing!] [If we become enemies with Spirit Hall...] Norman didn't dare to think about it any further, and continued to ask: "What happens next? With the evidence, can Darles be executed? But I don't have the right to deal with Darles. The top leaders of the Xingluo Empire have to come in person. The most I can do is to delay him and prevent him from destroying the evidence." "So, that's why I said that you can treat this fake one as the real one." Zhou Qing chuckled, "Since he is fake and has no official status, you can just beat him to death, because you didn't kill the real Darles, but just a fake one! So, what crime have you committed?" "And the reason why we want to kill him is just to show the people of Luoxing City that once the city lord makes a mistake, he will be punished accordingly... I think you also know that I have a big heart. This is also an experiment of mine. Just regard it as my selfish desire." Norman pondered for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell the higher-ups in the Spirit Hall everything?" "For Youhui..." "Okay!" Norman was angry and laughed, "You have me defeated! If I could beat you and I am still single with no children, I wouldn't care what happens to my niece and granddaughter." Zhou Qing laughed dryly twice and continued: "When the relevant people from the Star Luo Empire's upper echelons come and question you, you can release the real Darles and describe his trick of finding a substitute for himself. Then, in order not to damage the reputation of the Star Luo Empire, the real Darles will have to die." "Or, you can hand over the real body of Darles and say that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment." Norman sighed and said, "If I had not killed you with my powerful strength in the first place, but had been dealing with you, I would probably have died inexplicably." "On the contrary, except for those who are depraved or those who I think are mentally ill, I will make sure that everyone who dies in my hands in the future will die clearly and clearly." When Zhou Qing said this, his tone was extremely calm, like an ancient glacier, chilling to the bone. But for some reason, Norman found his heart beating faster, not out of fear, but - excited! He actually became excited!
He really wanted to see how Zhou Qing would make Darles die clearly... ··· Day two. Dales had just finished his breakfast and walked into the courtyard. He looked up at the red sun shining through the dark clouds in the east and couldn't help squinting his eyes. The eastern dawn today is so dazzling! "Boom!" "Boom!" "Swish!" Listening to the faint noise coming from outside the City Lord's Mansion, Darles frowned and cursed, "Can't those lowly people dig soul sand a little quieter?" Then, Darles called the servants and said, "Find a few people to go to the square to collect soul sand and soul crystals. By the way, contact the people of the four major families and ask them to help transport the soul sand to Xingluo City for sale. Afterwards, we will split the profits 60% and 40% according to the original rules." "Lord City Lord, what is the purchase price?" "One copper soul coin is worth ten pounds!" “Isn’t this a bit…” Snapped! Before the man could finish his words, Darles, who was annoyed by the noise, slapped him to the ground and scolded him, "My orders are to be executed! Not to be questioned! One copper soul coin for ten kilograms is already a high price! What else do they want? If not, they can transport it to Xingluo City or other big cities by themselves. They will bear the risks on the road themselves!" "Yes, yes!" The servant hurriedly got up and knelt on his knees, but he was worried, "It's just... Lord City Lord, won't you go there in person? If I just come here, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince you." "Idiot, I should be out here exterminating the Fallen right now, how could I appear in front of those lowly people?" Darles cursed, "You are from my City Lord's Mansion, how dare others question you? I don't have the guts! What are you still standing there for? Go down and execute the order!" "Yes!" Fearing further scolding and punishment, the man left the courtyard in a hurry, called a few guards, and beat drums and gongs in the square to attract the attention of the people in the city. When the people in the city learned that people from the City Lord's Mansion wanted to buy soul sand, they immediately set out and carried the soul sand they had dug out two days ago to the square. "How much will the City Lord's Mansion offer?" "Five silver soul coins per pound." "I don't think so! The city lord still needs us to pay taxes and donations to raise enough money to go out of the city and wipe out the fallen." "Tsk! Who doesn't know that the city lord is very rich? He just doesn't want to pay for it himself and doesn't want us to have an easy life!" "He might even be colluding with the Fallen!" "Shh! Quiet!" "I think that exterminating the Fallen is just a cover. Darles just can't stand us being rich, so he's trying to get our money into his pocket..." People were talking about all kinds of topics, and the whole square was extremely noisy. It was not until the servants of the City Lord's Mansion marked the purchase price of soul sand and soul crystals on a sign and held it up that the people quieted down, and then - There will be even greater noise! "What? Soul sand is worth 10 kilograms for one copper soul coin! Soul crystal is worth 5 copper soul coins for one kilogram!" "You are robbing money!" "We worked so hard to dig the road for so long, and the price is just this low?"
“My family doesn’t even have enough to pay the taxes!” "protest!" For a moment, the people surrounding the square all started protesting! But the servant took the loudspeaker soul guide and cursed: "Why are you shouting? Are you digging soul sand for money? That is the evil soul guide core array set up by the Fallen! Does the array know? You are digging soul sand to save your own lives!" "Also, this is the purchase price for the soul sand and soul crystals in the City Lord's Mansion!" "Sell it if you want! If not, get out!" "I want to see how many of you have the money to hire a soul master to escort you to a big city to sell soul sand and soul crystals?!" Afterwards, the guards also released their martial spirits and spirit rings. Although their spirit powers were not high, they were still spirit masters after all. The civilians present did not dare to resist at all and could only hold back their anger in their hearts. As for money, they all still had some, but they were all ordinary people and did not have the courage to use the last bit of money they had to hire a soul master. What if an accident occurs while transporting the soul sand to the big city? They can't afford the risk! And it was precisely because of this that Darles dared to lower the purchase price to such a low level... (End of this chapter)
