When Chen Lin heard the tone of the Black Bear County Magistrate, he realized that he had asked too many questions.
But there is no other way. I finally caught a demon creature that can communicate. How can I let it go
So he continued to ask, "Is it possible to upgrade the pass here, sir?"
If he could upgrade the pass, he would exchange it for magic coins. When he had accumulated 10,000 coins, he would exchange it for a level 4 pass, which was much better than raising his status level.
The Black Bear County Magistrate nodded and said, "It can be upgraded, but only to level three. I don't have the authority to issue level four road passes. Level four road passes can be used to travel between different territories. Only officials of at least the third rank have the right to issue them, and they have to be the main government offices."
Chen Lin looked disappointed.
Seeing Chen Lin's expression, the Black Bear County Magistrate felt slighted and immediately said, "The fourth-level road pass is very important. Not only can it be issued by a third-rank official office, but in addition to paying magic coins or corresponding merits, it also requires completing assessment tasks. It is not something that can be obtained easily."
"Do you still need to complete the task?"
Chen Lin asked back, and immediately felt the difficulty of obtaining the fourth-level pass. He also didn't know how Xirina got it.
"Apart from… "
Chen Lin wanted to ask more, but the Black Bear County Magistrate showed an impatient look and said, "Brother Chen, you should hand over the items first. You will know the information later. I am busy and cannot delay too much time."
Seeing that the other party was already very impatient and that further questioning might lead to unexpected events, Chen Lin finally shut up.
Everything in the demon world scene was out of the ordinary. Even though the other party seemed well-organized and friendly to him now, he might get furious and turn into a monster the next moment. Moreover, he had killed the father of the other party's concubine, so he was already angry and could not go too far.
Although he still had many questions in his mind, he could only suppress them and take out the weapons of the Tianluo people one by one.
"There are so many. Brother Chen, are these weapons obtained by killing Tianluo believers?"
Looking at the various weapons that piled up like a small mountain in front of him, the Black Bear County Magistrate was shocked, and his expression became strange when he looked at Chen Lin.
"Exactly!"
Chen Lin answered decisively.
It is necessary to show some strength at this time, so as to prevent the other party from going back on their words or having other intentions.
You can't completely believe what the other party said before, as there are many obvious loopholes in it. You need to verify it from multiple sources and don't let down your guard.
The Black Bear County Magistrate did not pay attention to Chen Lin, his eyes were always on the weapons of the Tianluo people.
After checking, he looked at Chen Lin and said, "The weapons of the Tianluo people are not valuable in themselves. Although these weapons are powerful, they require Luo's unique strength to wield. In our hands, they are just ordinary swords. If the Demon Realm and Luo Realm were not mortal enemies, we would not want them at all."
Chen Lin's heart moved, and he blurted out, "What does the county lord mean?"
He also felt that the merits given were too little and not proportional to the strength of the Tianluo people. It turned out that there was something behind it.
The Black Bear County Magistrate picked up a 'General' and weighed it, saying, "The main source of merit is killing foreign enemies. How can Luo's followers be so worthless? Killing an ordinary follower will give you ten merits. Killing a leader-level follower, even if it's just the lowest-level leader, will give you a hundred merits!"
Chen Lin's spirits lifted, and he said hastily: "I killed the masters of these weapons myself!"
This matter must be fought for with all our strength.
This is a ten-fold difference. With so many merits, the operability is much greater.
The Black Bear County Magistrate shook his head and said, "Words alone are not enough. We need evidence."
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something. He probed into the storage ring with his mind, and then took out a box.
After opening it, more than ten small black crystals were revealed.
"This thing can prove it?"
Chen Lin looked at the Black Bear County Magistrate with anticipation.
These black crystals were obtained by killing elite Tianluo people. Ordinary Tianluo people only had ashes. Because it was not easy to collect and seemed useless, he only collected a few, but collected all the black crystals, even those killed later in the territory of Wood Fairy.
The Black Bear County Magistrate picked up a black crystal, felt Luo's aura contained in it, and nodded.
"Yes, it is indeed the crystallization of the willpower in Luo's followers. It can prove that you killed him."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Lin and said, "There are so many weapons here, but only a dozen of them have crystals. As for the rest, the believers who have not formed complete crystals will also have tiny remnants of their wishes that are like ashes."
Chen Lin's head buzzed.
He had been worried about this just now, but he didn't expect it to be true. He suddenly felt a sharp pain rising from his heart and almost vomited blood.
More than a hundred copies are gone!
More than a thousand merits were lost just like that!
But he calmed down immediately.
Given the situation in the Wood Fairy's territory at that time, it was too late to collect the crystals, and there was no time to collect the ashes at all. It was already good enough to collect a few.
After comforting himself, Chen Lin took out a few small boxes, each containing a portion of ashes, but there were only five portions.
"Reporting to the county lord, since I don't know the usefulness of this thing and it's not easy to collect it, I only took five and gave up the rest."
Chen Lin explained, his tone extremely uncomfortable.
But he still did not forget to use telepathy to remind Hua Ruyu to be on high alert and take the things back immediately if there was anything unusual on the other party.
The Black Bear County Magistrate did not make any other move. He just looked at Chen Lin with a regretful expression, then grabbed a token at his waist, which emitted a bright light.
After a while, several strange-looking people walked into the lobby and began to take inventory under the instructions of Black Bear County Magistrate.
"One hundred and twenty-three ordinary Luo weapons, eleven general weapons, five portions of willpower powder, and eleven low-level willpower crystals, with a total value of one thousand three hundred and eighty-three merits. The inventory is correct!"
After checking, the subordinate reported.
The Black Bear County Magistrate nodded and said, "Let's register them!"
After saying that, he touched the token, and a palm-sized jade token was taken out. He first input a stream of light into it, and then two other people each input a stream of light into it, and the jade token immediately emitted a fluorescent light.
Then he stretched out his hand and said to Chen Lin: "Give me the identity token."
Chen Lin handed the shepherding order to the other party without hesitation.
The Black Bear County Magistrate took it in his hand and put the jade token and the Shepherd's Order together. Then he saw a light flash on the Shepherd's Order.
"Okay, the merits have been transferred to you. Merits cannot be traded and can only be used by you. If you want to upgrade your status, just use the identity token."
The Black Bear County Magistrate returned the token to Chen Lin.
Then he continued, "Your status does not represent your position. Even if you are a first-class official, if no other place accepts you, you are still a shepherd's order. You can only get rid of the restrictions if you are promoted to an official."
Chen Lin subconsciously checked the token and found that it was still empty. There was only one magic coin in it, which was this month's salary that had not been withdrawn.
He couldn't help but look at the Black Bear County Magistrate with a look of surprise and doubt.
The Black Bear County Magistrate also showed doubt, and then asked uncertainly: "Brother Chen, don't you know how to use the identity token?"
Chen Lin's heart moved, and he realized that he was wrong, and immediately showed an embarrassed look.
The Black Bear County Magistrate grinned and wanted to complain about Princess Gege Yun, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. That person was not someone to be trifled with. Several territory lords he knew had all been dealt with by her.
He shook his head and said to Chen Lin: "You only need to refine the token in the same way as you refine treasures, and then you can activate it. You will understand it naturally when the time comes."
Chen Lin showed a look of realization, and secretly complained in his heart about that goat Gege Yun, who really didn't care about anything and didn't even tell him about such things.
However, the other party had disappeared and he couldn't find him even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, I met the Black Bear County Magistrate in front of me, otherwise I don’t know when I would be able to know these things. This time I took a slight risk to explore this scene and gained a lot.
While thinking, Chen Lin used the Treasure Refining Technique to refine the token and then activated it.
Suddenly, he had a strange connection with the token and discovered that there was some information in the token. In addition to his name and identity level, there was also an item of merit, and behind it was exactly one thousand three hundred and eighty-three.
After focusing his mind on the merits, he immediately had a feeling that he could 'call' these merits.
He tried it, called up ten merits and put them in the identity column, and the level immediately changed to "third class middle".
I see!
Chen Lin secretly marveled at how magical this demon world was. What the Black Bear County Magistrate knew was probably just the tip of the iceberg. The real veil would probably only be revealed after Niu Niu broke free from the seal.
After thinking about it, Chen Lin felt that there was no need to upgrade his pass.
His current merit points are enough to raise his status to the first-class public security, which means he will naturally have the authority to use the third-level pass. However, the fourth-level pass cannot be upgraded here, so there is no need to make repeated purchases.
However, he could upgrade his two level one road passes to level two and give them to Qin Lingyu and the others.
"Brother Chen, is there anything else?"
After his men took all the things away and put them into the warehouse, the Black Bear County Magistrate asked something.
This is the time to see the guests off.
Chen Lin killed his concubine's father. Although he didn't care because of the rules and the power of Princess Gege Yun, he didn't want to be an eyesore either.
However, Chen Lin still had one most important thing to do, so how could he leave? Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "There is one more thing I want to ask the county lord."
The Black Bear County Magistrate's face turned cold, and he seemed on the verge of getting angry, but he held back.
"explain!"
Chen Lin was startled when he saw this, but he still said, "I met a girl named Fuyao in the Li family's house. She claimed that her family's case was wronged and asked me to help her redress it to the county lord!"
After saying this, he looked at the Black Bear County Magistrate.
I feel a little more relaxed too.
Having said this, he could be considered to have completed the mission and could not be considered to have given up, and even if he failed, the punishment would not be doubled.
