Chapter 312: City Lord, Please Help Me
Because he had already made plans, when the dragonman youngster heard the mercenary report in the carriage on his way home that the Love Triangle had been attacked by assassins, he was not shocked. His first thought was, “The other party actually took action tonight!”
When the city government palace handed over the goods to the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, it caused quite a stir.
In fact, when the transport team was halfway there, the news had already spread throughout Snow Bird Harbor.
This was the first time that both sides had completed the handover and settled the payment.
The survivors had already discussed this during their deliberations—this was the first dangerous period, and it was very likely to attract the enemy to infiltrate!
Because everyone knew that the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps was buying up gold level equipment on a large scale, obviously to help their commander, Long Fu, prepare for the heroic duel that would take place in the near future.
As Long Fu's opponent, would Teng Dong Lang sit idly by and watch his opponent grow stronger?
Even if he was proud of his identity, his subordinates would inevitably take the initiative to be the "bad guys", tripping up the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps and playing dirty tricks.
Because the duel between the two had a very wide-ranging impact, it was not only about the two parties involved, but also about the future activities and profits of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps and the Bayonet Gang in Snow Bird Harbor.
It could be said that the survivors were already on guard against the mysterious intruder and had taken as many defensive and investigative measures as possible.
But the mysterious intruder was indeed skilled and daring. That night, he struck and “successfully” assassinated the only two magicians of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, then disappeared with a large amount of treasure.
After receiving this news, the dragonman youngster immediately rushed out of the carriage and rushed to the pier at full speed, looking extremely anxious and urgent.
Of course, he was extremely vigilant on the way.
This was because the survivors had also analyzed in advance that it was very likely that the other party would ambush the reinforcements.
Fortunately, the dragonman youngster ran all the way back without any accidents.
When the dragonman youngster returned to his flagship and saw the corpses of Hong Teng and Lao Zhong, he immediately put all his worries aside.
They were just two alchemy puppets.
As for the lost supplies and equipment, the dragonman youngster didn't care.
The lost gold level equipment was risky and unsuitable for the dragonman youngster to use in the first place. Using it as a vessel for the positioning device was the best use for it at the moment.
The lost alchemy materials could be bought again. The alchemy materials delivered in the first batch were naturally more common and ordinary than the latter two batches. The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps had sufficient funds and the confidence to do so.
The dragonman youngster even felt that these alchemy materials had already served their purpose by distracting some of the mysterious assassin's energy and time.
The magician leader of the investigation team talked with the dragonman youngster, his words revealing a hint of comfort and sympathy.
However, he did not know the true thoughts in the other party's mind.
Such a “loss” was good news for the survivors!
The dragonman youngster perfunctorily replied to the magician leader with a few words, then returned to the captain's cabin to meet secretly with Zi Di.
Good things came in pairs.
He learned another piece of good news from Zi Di—
What exactly was Lan Zao's bloodline?
The answer to this question has been found.
The Fish Bladder bloodline was a silver level bloodline, which meant that Lan Zao would have more room for growth. He would no longer be limited to the bronze level for the rest of his life.
Of course, in order to enhance the Fish Bladder bloodline in his body, the survivors had to build a Bloodline Purification formation.
This brought them back to the old problem.
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps urgently needed an alchemist!
The dragonman youngster and Zi Di didn't stay long. The former left the captain's cabin.
He came before Zong Ge, the magician leader, and the city guard leader, and instructed, "Shi Qi, take care of the two leaders and continue to command the flagship."
“I'll go ask our city Lord for help!”
The magician leader's eyes lit up when he heard this. He ran a few steps to catch up with the dragonman youngster and whispered a few words to him, implying that he had received orders from the city Lord to favor the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps before taking action!
After hearing this, the dragonman youngster immediately thanked the magician leader.
The implied meaning was very clear: the city Lord was on the side of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, and there was a high possibility of cooperation between the two sides!
The dragonman youngster jumped directly off the ship and stepped onto the pier.
His every move immediately attracted a large number of hidden eyes.
The pier was very noisy, attracting a large number of intelligence workers to come and spy. However, the city guard and the magician investigation team were one step ahead of them, preventing them from getting close to the Love Triangle.
Under the gaze of everyone, the dragonman youngster, with an angry look on his face, did not take a carriage, but rushed directly to the city government palace.
He was much faster than a carriage.
Soon, he arrived at the gate of the city government palace.
An attendant had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the dragonman youngster, he immediately greeted him and whispered, “The city Lord had already anticipated your arrival, Lord Long Fu. He has given orders that you should go directly to his study.”
In the study, the dragonman youngster met the city Lord.
The city Lord was very concerned about the vicious incident that had occurred at the pier. As soon as they met, he asked directly, “Commander Long Fu, is the mysterious assassin who committed this crime really Hua Tang?”
The dragonman youngster bowed his head and said, “I am ashamed to say that our group was completely fooled by this despicable mysterious assassin. From beginning to end, we were unable to determine his true identity.”
“All we can say now is that he may be Hua Tang.”
The city Lord looked up and sighed, "Ah, if it really is him, it's understandable that your group couldn't defend against him. Not to mention the pier, even my castle is probably just a place that Hua Tang can come and go as he pleases."
The city Lord was very eloquent.
He was both comforting the dragonman youngster and excusing himself for his poor supervision of the pier.
The dragonman youngster bowed slightly and said bluntly, “I came here to ask for your help in investigating the truth.”
The city Lord looked solemn and said, "The criminal committed a heinous crime, and it is my duty to investigate and pursue the murderer. What's more, we are close trading partners."
"Commander Long Fu, you asked me for help, which shows that you trust me. I naturally don't want to betray that trust. However, I can't guarantee the success of the investigation. Especially if the perpetrator is really Hua Tang."
The dragonman youngster nodded, "If it really is Hua Tang, I want revenge! He slaughtered the only two magicians in our group. This is a deep hatred that I will never be able to get over."
The city Lord patted the dragonman youngster on the shoulder: “Let's go, we have to hurry, many clues will gradually disappear with the passage of time.”
The city Lord personally led the dragonman youngster into the magician tower on the pier.
It was the first time the dragonman youngster had entered such a core location.
The magician tower lived up to its reputation indeed!
Although it was just a quick tour, it still made the dragonman youngster envious.
