Chapter 232: Luo River God of the Capital (1/2)
I was slightly shocked. I didn’t know this number. Who in Beijing knew my phone number?
Even my father didn't know my phone number, only the few people closest to me. This included He Yi, Murong Mingyue, Beiming Xue, Du Thirteen, Yamete, and the others. Of course, Lin Yixin was among them, but I didn't know what category to put her in.
”I am Lu Chen, you are?”
”Oh, hello. I am a female mage from the southernmost city of the China server, Ice Moon City. My ID is ‘Luo River God of the Capital’. I think you’ve heard my name, Falling Dust.”
I stilled. Honestly speaking, I had heard of this ID. In the later stages of Spirit of Grief, the ID of Luo River God of the Capital had been known as the top female mage of the China server, and remained invincible in Cool Breeze City. The city had even managed to last a year against the Candle Dragon led by Candlelight Shadow. However, Luo River God of the Capital retired, and Candlelight Shadow naturally dominated.
”Of course, who wouldn't know Beauty Luo?”
I smiled and added, ”Have you called me because of an important matter?”
”Yes!”
Luo River God of the Capital laughed and said, ”There is a 2-star Outstanding high-level staff at Floating Ice City. You know anything about it? I’ve been thinking. In all of Floating Ice City, there were only a few who could drop such a staff. And today, the only high-level map that was discovered was the Devil Sealing Tower. Dominating Heaven Blade was outside the Dragonfall Lake, Wind Fantasy was leveling in some forest. Dominating Knight God and the others were with Dominating Heaven Blade, Indigo Collar chose not to enter the tower. With this simple elimination process, the only person who could get the Purgatory Scepter and has 4 characters in their name is you, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!”
I stilled. This woman was terrifying, her intelligence might rival Lin Yixin’s!
However, I was not very wary of Luo River God of the Capital because she was an enemy of Candlelight Shadow, and so was I. The enemy of an enemy was my friend.
Faced with her questioning, I smiled and said honestly, ”Yes, the Purgatory Scepter is mine. Does Beauty Luo want to buy it?”
She laughed softly. ”Of course, I am already Level 78, and have been leveling on my own in Ice Moon City. However, my staff is only a Level 65 Dark Gold–grade, much worse than this Purgatory Scepter, so I want it. Also, in the China server, I am the only one who can make this scepter show off its true might!”
I laughed. Yes, Luo River God of the Capital was also a member of the China CGL Hall of Fame, and ranked in the upper half, above even Candle Dragon’s mage, God’s Dance. But because she had retired too early, she had vanished from people's minds. As the River God was once again descending onto the mortal soil, great waves would surely rock Ice Moon City!
”Falling Dust?”
”Yes.”
”Could you cancel the auction of the Purgatory Scepter? I am willing to pay a high price!” Luo River God of the Capital was speaking in a soft voice, close to pleading.
I frowned and said, ”It's not that I don't want to cancel, but the auction has rules. If I cancel the auction, especially of items of high prices, then the seller will be punished severely. There is a reduction in reputation, and I can’t use the auction system for 60 days. The punishment is too severe for me to tolerate. So, Beauty Luo, come to Floating Ice City to attend the auction. I will cheer for you in secret...”
Luo River God of the Capital laughed helplessly. ”You little... cheer me on. You mean cheer me to up the price?”
”Haha, no no, I’d never...”
”Oh!”
Luo River God of the Capital laughed. ”Never mind. It seems that I must spend 5000 gold to buy a teleportation scroll from the main city to Floating Ice City. In any case, I will definitely get the scepter. Even if someone else buys it, I’ll have a way to get it for myself!”
I shuddered all over. This woman could not be offended, she was too possessive!
”Alright, Falling Dust, that's it!”
Luo River God of the Capital smiled and said, ”Ice Moon City and Floating Ice City are at the two extremes of the China server. I heard that you have rebuilt Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Let's team up against Candle Dragon!”
”Yes, good luck!”
”Yes, bye!”
……
I hung up and gulped down wine. He Yi had gotten the wine from the workshop. Supposedly, it was a few thousand per bottle. I felt this was too luxurious and pricey, but He Yi told me some CEOs in China would drink wine that cost fifty thousand per bottle. Compared to them, I was very frugal.
The more I thought about it, the more sense it made. The world was truly unreasonable.
Murong Mingyue smiled and asked, ”Who was it?”
”Luo River God of the Capital!”
”Oh? She’s also come back?”
”Yes!”
Murong Mingyue laughed softly, ”Ha, it looks like Heavenblessed's China server is growing more interesting. Lu Chen, you've returned, Wind Fantasy’s a rising star, Dominating Heaven Blade’s working diligently, and even Luo River God of the Capital has returned. Haha, I want to see how Candlelight Shadow will dominate!”
I couldn't help but laugh. ”The future situation is easy to imagine. It will definitely not be dominated by a single person. Candle Dragon may be strong, but not strong enough to order all of us around. Also, I don’t plan to ever work with them. The moment I created Bloody Mercenaries, I’ve already had a plan!”
”What plan?” He Yi laughed and asked.
I clenched my fists and said, ”Before the national wars begin, I will erase Candle Dragon from the China server!”
”Haha....”
He Yi laughed softly and gave a praising gaze.
