Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wei Huo and Zhou Song walked toward the City Lord’s residence. Along the way, they often heard pedestrians talking. Information among the players flowed the fastest, but humans also had communication skills that allowed them to travel over long distances. That was why they knew about the situation on Mount Emei.
Compared to the players, the number of humans was larger. It was actually almost hundreds of times larger.
“The vultures were exterminated, alright? You have to pay the price for stealing Mount Emei!”
“I heard that the vulture race’s Legendary creature destroyed the human cultivation techniques in the cave. Fortunately, someone brought these cultivation techniques out long ago.”
Zhou Song said, “The one who took out the cultivation technique is the City Lord of City A. It’s said that he cultivated on Mount Emei for decades. After he left the mountain, he taught these cultivation techniques to many talented humans.”
Wei Huo nodded slightly. That was why he had come to City A. Not many people had cultivated on Mount Emei. Apart from him, there was only Xiao Bin. If Xiao Bin was really the City Lord of City A, Wei Huo had something to ask him.
At that moment, orderly footsteps were heard behind Wei Huo and the others. At the same time, the sound of armor rubbing against each other could be heard.
The sound was very weird. The footsteps were so neat that they should belong to trained soldiers. However, the soldiers they had seen had not been wearing heavy armor. Their combat uniforms would not make such sounds.
Zhou Song turned around and exclaimed, “It’s the Rose Women Warriors!”
The pedestrians made way for them. There were seven of them, and a woman who looked like a soldier walked ahead. The other six female soldiers walked in two neat rows.
They did not have any guns on them. Every female warrior was carrying a small round shield and a scimitar. They looked awe-inspiring. The armor on their bodies covered them, and only their faces were exposed. One could tell from their eyes that they had undergone rigorous training.
The leading soldier’s equipment was different from theirs. She did not have a small round shield or a scimitar. Instead, she was carrying a heavy sword.
There were rose patterns carved on the female warriors’ armor, and black roses were embroidered on their cloaks. They walked forward quickly.
The pedestrians made way for them, as if they knew how powerful they were. Zhou Song said, “They are Countess Rose’s subordinates. It’s said that the Countess is the City Lord’s niece, so they have a high status in the city. No one dares to provoke them.”
The female warrior swept past Wei Huo and the other two and walked away. Wei Huo thought of something but did not speak.
Zhou Song continued speaking. “It’s said that the Countess fled here. Her pursuers were also holding roses, but they were white ones. However, after the City Lord appeared, the pursuers retreated. No one knows what happened then.”
Wei Huo and Zhou Song walked to the City Lord’s mansion. The City Lord’s mansion was very imposing and occupied a huge area. Not only was this the City Lord’s residence, but it was also the administrative center of City A. Countless administrative staff members were working there.
There were soldiers guarding the City Lord’s residence, as well as security checkpoints. Normal people were not allowed to enter.
However, Wei Huo and Zhou Song were not ordinary people. Zhou Song walked forward and displayed his false imposing aura. The soldier who was on guard duty was stunned. The detection device immediately reported his value: Half-Epic!
The guards were shocked and immediately made way. A sergeant walked over and asked respectfully, “May I know who you’re looking for?”
Zhou Song said, “Your City Lord!”
Zhou Song sounded like a visitor who had walked through the city gate and shouted, “I’m looking for your mayor!”
Under normal circumstances, the guards would have chased such a person away. Could a normal person see the mayor?
