Chapter 2467 To Save People Or To Take Lives?(2)
Although the inn manager"s curiosity was piqued, he still kindly reminded,"Your Excellency! If you don"t have an Alchemist, I advise you not to accept the city Lord"s bounty. If you don"t handle it well, you might die!"
"Eh? Is the city Lord a homicidal maniac?" Leng ruoxue blinked her beautiful eyes as she asked curiously.
"No! What I mean is, if you can"t cure the city Lord"s illness, he might do something in a fit of anger! So, you"d better not accept this bounty and just stay in the inn! My Inn belongs to the Lu family, so it"s relatively safer. " The inn manager advised earnestly.
"But it"s too boring to stay in the inn. We want to find something to do and take a trip to the city Lord"s mansion." Leng ruoxue asked with antic.i.p.ation.
However, the inn manager who heard this was in a state of confusion!
Bored? Looking for something? He still had to go to the city Lord"s mansion?
These people were really bored to death! One had to know that this was a critical period. Most people couldn"t wait to get as far away from the city Lord"s mansion as possible. How would there be anyone willing to take the initiative to court death? But these people really made him, a kind Inn manager, powerless!
After a long while, the inn manager did not know what to say. He could only stare at Leng ruoxue and the rest. Finally, he made up his mind and put on an expression that said he was going to risk everything. He whispered to Leng ruoxue and the rest,"My esteemed guests! To tell you the truth, the city Lord"s illness is not light. If you are not alchemists and can"t cure his illness, he will definitely not leave you alive in a rage. You"re my customers, and I really don"t want to see you die! AI! You"d better listen to me and not go to the city Lord"s mansion to join in the fun! I promise that if there"s any news from the City Lord"s mansion, you"ll be the first ones to know. Is that not enough?"
The inn manager"s words were extremely sincere. Even though it was suspicious that he was siding with an outsider, he was truly concerned about the safety of Leng ruoxue and the others. He did not want anything to happen to the guests who were staying in his Inn as it would affect the reputation of his Inn!
With this thought in mind, the manager of the inn hoped to keep these people in the inn. At least, their lives would not be in danger. However, these people in front of him did not look like good people who knew their place. This fact made the manager particularly worried.
As expected, when Leng ruoxue heard the innkeeper"s words, she only gave him a grateful look and said softly,""We"re not afraid that the city Lord of Chuan city will kill us. We"re afraid that we won"t be able to resist the urge to kill him. What do you think we should do?"
"..." These words made the inn manager dumbfounded. He was completely confused.
While the inn manager was still in a daze, Leng ruoxue led a group of people and left the inn.
By the time the inn manager regained his senses, Leng ruoxue and the others had already disappeared. Upon seeing this, the inn manager could only sigh helplessly. However, for some reason, when he recalled what Leng ruoxue had said, he felt a tinge of joy in his heart!
After quickly putting away his other thoughts, the inn manager looked around and went back to doing what he had to do as if nothing had happened.
Leng ruoxue and the rest left the inn and headed straight for the city Lord"s residence.
Due to the incident at the city Lord"s residence a few days ago, the city gates had been heavily restricted, causing the streets to be almost deserted. Leng ruoxue and the rest were unimpeded along the way. When they arrived at the city Lord"s residence"s main gate and saw the undamaged tall walls, everyone could not help but think,"it seems like the city Lord"s residence did not suffer a huge loss!" At this moment, they saw that there was a bounty notice posted on both sides of the door. Leng ruoxue did not even think about it and immediately went to the designated location to register.
The person in charge of the registration was a Butler from the city Lord"s residence. After glancing at the unremarkable-looking Leng ruoxue and the rest, the Butler raised his head arrogantly and asked indifferently,""Who"s an Alchemist!"
"No one!" Leng ruoxue said with a smile, her att.i.tude extremely good.
When a certain Butler heard this, he was instantly enraged!
F * ck! If there were no alchemists, why would they come here to register? Was he kidding?
A certain Butler was very angry, and the consequences were very serious!
The Butler in charge of registration did not say anything and immediately called for the guards. He pointed at Leng ruoxue and the rest and said,""Arrest these people who are here to cause trouble!"
The moment the vicious guards heard this, they were ready to take action. Leng ruoxue saw this and quickly stopped them,""Wait! Why did they capture us? We"re not here to cause trouble!"
"You guys aren"t alchemists, and you"re not here to cause trouble. Could it be that you"re really here to treat the city Lord?" A certain Butler shouted out of certainty.
"We"re really here to treat your city Lord, we"re not here to cause trouble. " Leng ruoxue vowed.
"Hmph! Do you think I"m a three-year-old child? Do you think I"m that easy to fool?" A certain Butler clearly didn"t believe Leng ruoxue"s words at all. He looked at her with an even worse expression.
Originally, the city Lord"s mansion was in a troubled period. The villain who destroyed the city Lord"s mansion was not caught, and these people wanted to cheat the city Lord"s mansion of its money on the grounds of treatment. If this was not causing trouble, what was it?
"I"m not lying to you, I"m really here to treat your city Lord, you have to believe me! Besides, the bounty notice didn"t say that only alchemists are allowed!" Leng ruoxue could not help but remind him.
Hearing this, a certain steward began to think. The bounty they issued really didn"t state that only alchemists could come. However, no matter how he looked at it, these people didn"t seem to have any ability. Thinking this way, he said,"Since you"re here to treat the city Lord, I"ll give you a chance in accordance with the principle of fairness. However, because you"re not alchemists, if you can"t treat the city Lord, you can only leave your lives here, understand?"
"I understand! We understand. " Leng ruoxue nodded her head.
Seeing that these people were still tactful, a certain Butler gave a look to the guard. The guard understood and brought Leng ruoxue and the rest into the city Lord"s residence.
The last time they came to the city Lord"s mansion was at night, so they basically didn"t have the chance to properly tour the city Lord"s mansion. This time, although it was daytime, they were also unable to visit the city Lord"s mansion. The city Lord"s mansion was in a mess. They had thought that the city Lord"s mansion didn"t suffer too much damage. However, when they saw the ruins, they had to admit that only the outer wall of the mansion was barely visible. They couldn"t even think about the inside.
The city Lord"s courtyard was the first to be renovated. However, only one room was renovated to allow the city Lord to recuperate. When Leng ruoxue and the rest were brought here, they realized that the dilapidated courtyard was filled with people.
Not only that, but those people seemed to be lining up.??????????e?.c??
The guard who had led Leng ruoxue and the others only said to them,""Let"s line up here and wait!" He left them behind and turned to leave.
"Little girl, are the people in line here to treat the city Lord?" Uncle long couldn"t help but click his tongue when he saw the situation. How many alchemists did the city Lord"s mansion find to treat the city Lord"s illness? Or was the city Lord"s illness too serious, and he was trying a last resort?
