The society is afraid that Shota Demon King just wants to be a salted fish

Chapter 26 The Princess Arrives in Hexi City



At this time, Yan Mu in the maze had a sad face.

The number of adventurers has decreased again.

Yan Mu observed that almost no new adventurers entered the maze, and those who came earlier also needed to return outside for supplies because they had been adventuring for a month.

He felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

But there is still good news. The adventurer's strength has been improved, although it is very weak.

In this way, the souls obtained after defeating adventurers will increase a lot.

The effect of the Qiling God Statue also spread.

Unfortunately, there is currently only one adventurer who has made another spirit bond with the same item.

He suddenly felt that he was very incompetent as a demon king. It seemed that the demon kings in other novels were all about conquering the world, and the worst ones were falling in love with the brave princess.

Yan Mu looked at his body subconsciously.

"Um..."

"Perhaps there is a hero who likes me, the Demon King?"

"There will be!"

"absolute!"

The Demon King adopted a spiritual victory method and baptized himself with chicken soup.

Then he continued to lie down on the throne and watch videos, ahhh, collect information about adventurers.

Two more days passed.

There were less than two hundred people scattered in the maze, and most of them were distributed in various places on the first floor.

The Goblin Lord has made great achievements in the past two days. He has solved more than a dozen teams one after another and provided himself with more than [-] souls.

It can be regarded as a small wave of blood.

and Xicheng.

At this time, the streets were crowded with people. Perhaps there had never been such a glorious moment since the city was founded.

In the center of Xicheng, a towering building with a height of one hundred feet stands tall, covering an area of ​​thousands of hectares.

This building is the Yunzhou Dockyard, the transportation hub of the empire.

There is an endless stream of pedestrians coming out of the interior.

However, due to its high price, most users are adventurers, businessmen, and nobles.

According to the normal passenger flow of Yunzhou Shipyard, it will definitely not reach the current flow of people.

After all, adventurers will choose hump-footed beasts and giant eagles as means of transportation in relatively close places.

But in order to see their goddess, the adventurers from nearby cities were extremely generous.

The seven old nobles have increased the food and accommodation expenses near the dock more than ten times in the past few days, nearly a hundred times more! This caused many adventurers to complain.

But who are they? A thousand-year-old family, so naturally they will not pay attention to the complaints of these mud-legged adventurers.

It was a rare occasion for all the family heads to gather together again, but the atmosphere was a bit tense.

The head of the Chen family had a gloomy old face and spoke first:

"I received the news. As expected, Her Royal Highness the Princess will arrive at the dock early tomorrow morning. We must achieve the best results this time."

"Let's put aside all the previous grievances. If it happens tomorrow, everyone will be rich. If it doesn't happen, whoever has problems will be responsible."

"Everyone goes back and does his best to promote it. We want more mud-legged people to know about the princess's visit to our seven aristocratic families."

"The more people who come here tomorrow, the better. We must make it impossible for those low-class families who don't have a trace of aristocratic character and are involved with mud-legged people to hold their heads high."

Although the other family heads seemed to be blaming each other, they did not refute this plan.

"Hmph! It's like we don't know. Do you need to remind us?"

The head of the Xue family snorted coldly and curled his lips.

Seeing the head of the Xue family speak, the head of the Li family immediately became angry.

"The Xue family leader is right. This is naturally what everyone wants. The Chen family leader only said it to prevent some people from interfering with it and damaging the interests of the other six major families."

"you!"

The head of the Xue family patted the armrest and stood up immediately.

The leader of the Chen family immediately stopped him.

"Okay! I'm not calling you here to quarrel this time. I'm just here to remind you that no one will hold you back."

"Let's discuss specific matters by the way and maximize the benefits as much as possible."

Exactly what these family heads discussed was not known to outsiders.

However, the family heads who left the private room had a rare smile on their faces.

The Chen family and the Li family did not leave. They looked at the five people leaving and sneered.

"You want to pay this price to get the market of those low-level families? It's a wishful thinking!"

"Spit out as much as you are told to take sooner or later."

...

After the patriarchs of the major families returned to their families, the news about the arrival time of Princess Yanyun began to spread like a virus in Xicheng.

The time is even more specific than the one the Adventurer's Guild received.

The news that the princess visited the seven major families this time indeed made many other families a little worried.

After all, these seven families are too old, and their industries cover all aspects of life. They look down on a family like my own that is friendly to ordinary adventurers.

All that can be done now is to try to preserve the family business.

Dawn is approaching the next day...

In the anticipation of everyone in Hexicheng, a long whistle came from the sky.

A giant cloud boat broke through the clouds in the sky and slowly slowed down.

Until it docked at Yunzhou Port, a hundred feet above the ground.

Under the dock, loud cheers erupted.

The lord and president of Hexi City, as well as the presidents of Ducheng and Shun'an City all went to the port to greet him.

As for the patriarchs of the seven major families, they chose to block the exit and wait for Her Royal Highness the Princess with the adventurers.

Yan Yun actually came to the deck when she entered Hexi City. She looked down at the sea of ​​people below and raised the corner of her mouth.

But he soon frowned.

"They're just a bunch of guys who want to eat swan meat. What's there to see?"

The youngest son of the financial elder even spat downwards, but was blocked by the spirit formation.

Seeing that they have arrived at the station, Yan Yun no longer pays attention to this annoying guy.

Turn around and walk towards the exit passage.

The young master was so angry that he punched Yunzhou's railing, turned around and chased after him.

He was cursing in his heart.

"Ignoring me again! Damn it!"

When the Yunzhou stopped, Yan Yun took the lead and walked out of the Yunzhou. What he saw face to face were four old men headed by the Lord of Hexi City.

The four old faces were smiling like chrysanthemums and couldn't stop at all.

The enthusiastic exchange of greetings made Yan Yun, who had been sought after by young talents in the imperial capital all year round, feel uncomfortable.

The young master who followed Yan Yun clenched his fists.

"They all ignore me! These low-level guys, I am the son of the financial elder! Why do they ignore me?"

However, he didn't dare to show it. After all, the lowest level of city lord and guild leader were legendary adventurers. Not to mention that he couldn't afford to offend him, but his father would probably be treated with extra courtesy when he came.

Fortunately, he couldn't see clearly and walked quickly past the crowd, which made the city lord and the guild leaders frown for a while.

Shi Cai, who was riding the Qiling Ladder, became more and more angry as he thought about it.

It seems that since he boarded Yunzhou, everyone has been ignoring him. .

Ever since he was born, when has he suffered such injustice?

About three or four minutes later, the Qi Ling Ladder landed on the ground. The moment it was opened, the adventurers watching outside suddenly cheered.

But after seeing the people walking out, there was another burst of boos.

Shi Cai suddenly felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and saw the disdainful expressions on the faces of the seven old men blocking his road. The resentment that had been suppressed for more than twenty days finally broke out.

What is your identity? The youngest son of a dignified financial elder, the top dignitary of the Yanling Empire! The city lord and guild president are first-rate, so forget it if you can’t afford to offend them.

Moreover, they did not show contempt.

What are these old guys in front of me?

Not only did you ignore yourself, but you also looked at me like I was trash?

Shi Cai then launched a flying kick on the spot, hitting the head of the Chen family in the stomach.

He slapped the old face of the Li family next to him with his backhand.

Although several family heads have reached the level of high-level adventurers, like most children of aristocratic families, they have never really fought. In addition, they are old and frail, and they are no match for Shi Cai.

The sudden change caught everyone watching off guard.

But Shi Cai became more and more addicted to it, and he became very angry in the past few days.

"Where did you get those clay legs? How brave! We are the seven aristocratic families that the princess wants to visit personally!"

At this time, several other family heads who reacted suddenly shouted loudly.

"Guard! Capture this thief for me! I will make his life worse than death!"

The head of the Chen family who was kicked down first stood up with difficulty, clutching his stomach and roaring loudly at the guards around him.

Shi Cai was stunned for a moment when he heard the shouts from the old guys opposite.

Then it seemed like I heard some big joke.

He almost couldn't stand upright with laughter.

He was not at all panicked by the approaching guards.

After all, he could see that their strength was average.

It seems that they are not willing to invest too much in these guards.

"Hey, who do I think you are? It turns out to be the seven major families in Hexicheng! Nice to meet you, nice to meet you..."

Shi Cai put away his smile and clasped his fists at the seven family heads with a serious face.

Seeing that the other party had surrendered, the head of the Chen family immediately waved his hand to several guards to stop first.

Shi Cai came to the head of the Chen family with an apologetic look on his face and stretched out his hand as if he wanted to help him shake off the dust.

Then he suddenly increased his speed, turned a corner, and slapped Patriarch Chen hard on the face.

"You are the only one who calls the Seven Famous Families! You are like a dog!"

"Young master, I am the young master of the Imperial Capital Historian family, and you want me to live a life worse than death?"

Saying that, he kicked me hard again.

"You too?"

At this time, the rest of the people's hearts trembled, knowing that they had hit an iron plate this time.

The historians of the imperial capital have naturally heard of it. The current financial elder's family, I guess they can make themselves miserable just by talking...

The few people who were not beaten retreated silently.

I want to distance myself from the Chen and Li family to avoid being implicated.

But the idea is good, but how can a person like a historian, who has no knowledge or skills, be able to get around in the imperial capital without a few brushes?

Naturally, we can see the purpose of these people. These are all the remaining tricks played by the imperial capital.

Immediately, everyone slapped them, especially those who just said that the princess wanted to visit several big families. Shi Cai also gave them a few extra slaps.

One tooth was knocked out.

"Are you guys with muddy legs? Are you worthy of a visit from a princess?"

"Oh, bah!"

"Don't even look at your own things..."

As he spoke, he kicked the old man closest to him again.

"it is good!"

There was a burst of cheers all around.

From time to time, people from the crowd echoed Shi Cai.

He felt relieved in his heart. This was the treatment he deserved as a young master of the Imperial Capital Historian Family.

Of course, it goes as quickly as it comes.

"The princess is coming down!"

"your Highness!"

The crowd suddenly burst into cheers like a tsunami. As for the young master of the Shi family, he had long forgotten about it.

"Your Highness the Princess is so beautiful!"

"..."

Wearing a snow-white off-shoulder long dress, the various accessories on her body shimmered under the sunlight.

With a beautiful face, skin like mutton fat and white jade, and a plump figure, all the adventurers, both male and female, were a little lost.

"Long live the princess!"

I don’t know who started it, but the originally noisy scene suddenly became unified.

As for the seven aristocratic families, their whereabouts have long been unknown.

After all, being slapped in the face in public makes him look like a clown.

Now let’s think about how to stabilize our business.

The other aristocratic families have completely broken with the Chen and Li families this time.

Shi Cai followed the road signs all the way to the Adventurer's Guild. After all, staying at the scene was really not in line with his noble status.

It was almost noon when the princess and her party walked into the guild with difficulty.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief.

These adventurers were so fanatical that Old Bones couldn't resist them.

Returning to the president's office, Yan Yun was sitting at the head, while the city lord and the presidents of the three guilds were sitting at the bottom on both sides.

As for the verified adventurers and historians, they sit further away.

The other people naturally had no objections, but Shi Cai was a little unhappy.

Back to the topic, President He Xi immediately remembered the most important thing now.

"Princess, this crack verification is too dangerous, please think twice!"

His expression changed so quickly.

One second his face was crumpled with laughter, and the next second he was bursting with snot and tears.

The other two presidents were immediately filled with admiration.

The two presidents naturally knew about the notice sent from the Imperial Capital yesterday.

He was even more impressed with President He Xi's determination to help the princess build momentum even though he was destroying his image.

However, it is estimated that Her Royal Highness was kept in the dark and knew nothing about this matter.

Naturally, this opportunity for performance cannot be missed.

"As President He Xi said, Her Highness the Princess can't back down just because of these small dangers, can she?"

"That's right, who is Her Royal Highness the Princess? That is the pearl of the empire!"

"Your Highness Princess! I support you!"

President He Xi was stunned. Good guy, he was stabbed in the back by two old friends?

Seeing him looking over, the other two people immediately winked at him and extended a thumbs up.

He suddenly had a black eye and could only look at the city lord for help.

The city lord looked very supportive of President He Xi, and clasped his fist at the princess with his backhand.

"Princess, I will use my family's support to go to the rift this time. Don't worry, you don't have to worry at all about logistics."

As he spoke, he patted his chest.

Good guy, is this how you support yourself?

The city lord naturally clearly controls the current population of Hexi City, and there is no news of death among the adventurers.

This means that this rift is not as terrifying as rumored.

I have to say that he still admires his old friend. He not only unified the rhetoric with the adventurers from Xicheng, but also unified the adventurers from Ducheng and Shunan City.

It would be a pity not to do business with this kind of brainwashing ability.
