All the city lords just glanced at the numb Tang Long and stopped paying attention to Tang Long.
At their level, so what if Tang Long was a genius? His attitude is still unimportant.
It's just that this matter is indeed very bad and it touches the bottom line.
So Leo, the city lord of the Statue of Liberty, spoke first. Anyway, he has a straightforward personality.
"Oh, my dear Mr. Hei, I don't think it's good that you want to keep Tang Long. After all, Tang Long is also a genius that the Star Council has worked hard to cultivate."
"Yes, Hei Lao. Do you need to think about this matter?" The speaker was the mountain owner of Wuhua Mountain, and he was really afraid that Hei Lao would offend the public.
No city lord can treat this matter with an attitude that it has nothing to do with him.
After all, what force doesn't value genius? How disgusting would it be if one's own power spares no resources and the talents that have been cultivated through hard work are poached by other powers
What's even more frightening is that this is simply a wrong demonstration. It will make some unruly geniuses ready to sell at a price. If they are confident, they will feel betrayal at every turn.
This is something that has no precedent in the Ziyue era.
These pros and cons were so smart that the city lords had already thought about it very clearly. When Leo and the mountain lord spoke, the other city lords, although they had their own thoughts, also started to give advice.
Faced with this situation, Speaker Xingchen just crossed his arms and looked at it coldly.
There is no such rule in the Blood of Steel City. No matter what kind of genius he is, he must always make time to serve in the Blood of Steel City, so Marshal Lieyang doesn't feel anything.
As for Mr. Hei, he listened expressionlessly for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Tang Long, I will definitely stay. However, what if Speaker Xingchen is also willing to do this? Do you have any opinions?"
"If Speaker of the Stars is willing, of course." It was still Leo who spoke, but he froze mid-sentence, and then whispered: "Old Hei, are you kidding? How could Speaker of the Stars be willing?"
Hei Lao smiled and said nothing, and only at this moment did he take back the giant hand that had been hovering in the air.
"Speaker, you can consider my proposal. In this matter, I do not have no conditions for exchange."
Faced with what Hei Lao said, Speaker Xingchen originally had a look of absurdity and disdain on his face. However, when he saw the big hand that was still clenched, he frowned.
"If the Speaker is willing, I will return the thing I grabbed to you. If the Speaker is not willing, this thing will be thrown away in public, right?"
When saying this, Hei Lao's hand moved slightly. The big hand in the air then released a finger, and a little bit of gravel fell.
"Stop." Speaker Xingchen's face showed a trace of anger, but in Hei Lao's territory, he was really helpless about this situation. After a low drink, he barely suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: " Let me think about it."
"Time is urgent. How about giving the Speaker three minutes to think about it?" Hei Lao smiled.
Speaker Xingchen took a breath, and his whole body suddenly flashed to the edge of the shield.
Everyone watched without saying a word. In fact, they knew something inside. The Speaker of the Stars was probably just a puppet. Who was the real master behind the Stars Council? It's still a secret.
However, such a secret is definitely not pleasant.
Just imagine, what are their identities? Don’t you know anything about the real master behind the Star Council? This means that the Star Council is like an ice floe. What is exposed may not be as much as what is hidden underneath.
It didn't take three minutes before Speaker Xingchen returned to the crowd.
He glanced at Mr. Hei angrily and said, "The Star Council agrees to your request, Tang Long, you can stay. But"
"Well, tell me." Now that Hei Lao has made such a decision, he seems to be ready to bear all the consequences.
"It's just that Mr. Hei still has a choice. The first choice is, Mr. Hei, if you still insist on keeping Tang Long, then the Star Council will officially declare a hostile relationship with the Port of Darkness."
"Second, Mr. Hei, you can let me take Tang Long away. After all, he is a member of our Star Council. In this way, you will gain our friendship, and we will officially declare to be allies with Dark Port." Speaker of the Stars said solemnly Say something like this.
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of these city lords changed. What is the Star Council doing? Although this era is still in chaos, after more than a hundred years, under the combined influence of mysterious super technology, the power of the purple moon, and the mysterious power hidden behind this world (such as the Realm of Dreams), mankind has finally established a new world. order.
This is something everyone cherishes.
So even though there is still constant internal fighting, everyone still maintains the most basic restraint on some things.
It's like forming an alliance, and it's like being openly hostile.
Could it be that the Star Council wants to repeat the confrontation with the Dragon Army? !
"Speaker Xingchen, this is a matter of outrage." Emperor Han's face darkened, and he couldn't help but speak on this matter.
Marshal Lieri glanced at Speaker of the Stars coldly.
"Emperor Han, since our Star Council has put forward the conditions in this way, we have made all preparations. We are not to blame for this matter. Mr. Hei really forced us to make this choice! Tang Long is the number one genius of our Star Council , He was trained as a successor." Speaker Xingchen spoke righteously.
Obviously, he should have received mysterious instructions just now, and he spoke with great confidence at this time.
"For the sake of dignity and justice, why should the Stars Council be afraid of becoming the enemy of the world?" Speaker of the Stars took a step forward and said a very suggestive sentence - that is, the Stars Council is not afraid of confronting all major powers on this matter. The forces are all hostile.
All the city lords stopped talking. After weighing the pros and cons, they realized that this muddy water was really not easy to flow. Even if Emperor Han was not afraid of the Star Council, he would not be able to confront the Star Council and harm himself over such a matter.
But Hei Lao seemed to be determined. He sighed and said: "I, Dark Harbor, have always been free and have not participated in any struggles. But today, regarding Tang Long, I still said the same thing and must stay. If you are an enemy, you will be an enemy. stop!"
"Hei Lao" Ye Xin covered her mouth in surprise. The price was too high. Why did Hei Lao insist on doing this
Hei Lao waved his hand and said: "The matter has been decided like this, you don't need to discuss it anymore. Now, do you still have any opinions?"
Dark Harbor paid such a high price to retain Tang Long, who could have any objections
All the city lords shook their heads and expressed that they had no objections.
As for Tang Long, he was silent from beginning to end. Although his heart was filled with loss and despair from beginning to end, it did not mean that his wisdom had been wiped out.
These conversations only made him see everything more clearly. To the Star Council, he was just a very important chess piece. But chess pieces, regardless of their weight, can always be discarded, right
Why did Hei Lao insist on keeping him? This point is not important to Tang Long at all.
He doesn't even know what the direction of the rest of his life is. He just doesn't have the courage to leave this world. He still lacks some courage!
What is nostalgia for? Want to find your missing mother and question her? Or do you want to stay for the rest of your life, and when you have the courage to face your adoptive father and Qidou, ask yourself if you are really a pawn in their hearts
Or is it that you can never let go of this world with the other side
What is Tang Long thinking about? It didn't matter at all to anyone who was there.
Now that Tang Long's matter has been decided, it's best to resolve it quickly.
Old Hei gave the thing hidden in his big hand to the Star Council, and never showed it to everyone. Even though everyone was a little curious, they thought it might be something important left by Long Twelve, which was very important to the Star Council.
Besides this result, what else can there be? It’s okay not to pursue this kind of thing.
Speaker Xingchen was really decisive in getting the thing. He said goodbye and left without hesitation.
Everyone is curious. Did the Star Council, a notoriously greedy force, really miss such a huge opportunity this time
However, curiosity is curiosity, and the actual matter needs to be discussed again. This is the most important thing.
At this time, the fog on the top of the mountain had dispersed a lot.
It was vaguely visible that everyone on the top of the mountain had fallen, and all those who could stand were Dark Harbor's troops wearing gas masks.
These troops are very busy now, busy moving everyone down the mountain. Although the medicine mist just now can make people lose their memory for about an hour, it cannot make people comatose for too long.
It would be more troublesome if these people woke up and saw something again.
After all, Dark Harbor doesn’t want to go on a killing spree yet.
"Don't worry, these potion mist are personally prepared by the great technicians of our Dark Port. The ratio is very precise, and people will only remember the scene of Tang Ling's resurrection. Next, the Dark Port will concoct a 3D simulation. Video to explain to people.”
"This matter may not be hidden from some thoughtful people, but it is enough to hide it from all ordinary people. And even if thoughtful people have some guesses, they can't guess the true truth of the matter." Hei Lao said this and glanced at everyone in the beach area. Person: "Everyone has seen enough of the drama. I'm afraid it's time to leave now."
"And I think you all understand the real truth about this life-and-death arena. There is no need to tell it, right?" Hei Lao asked again with a smile.
Darkport is a city of freedom and a city of sin.
How could the owner of such a contradictory and courageous city be a good man? A generation of heroes is pretty much the same.
His words could also be interpreted as outright threats.
"I don't think you need to tell anyone, it's just a big show." Emperor Han also spoke at this time.
"What are you talking about? If you are lonely, you can come and play with my sister. There is nothing you can't think of in our Holy Tree City, and there is nothing you can't play. Haha, especially my sister, my boudoir is very interesting. "Ye Xin also covered her mouth and said a few words with a smile.
"Shameless." The cold mountain saint's face was a little hot, but she also warned her.
In less than a minute, the nine city lords expressed their opinions one after another.
The seriousness of this matter can be imagined. Anyone who speaks out will basically offend all the top forces in the world.
"Hei Lao, Han Huang, City Lord Na Lai, Marshal Lieri, and the boy represent my father to say hello to the three city lords. Since the play has been finished, I will leave first." After all the city lords finished their words of warning, the boy stood up first. It turned out to be that distinguished young man. He politely said hello and left with his people.
However, this young man was really arrogant. He ignored all the top city lords present and only chose four of them to say hello. The other city lords had no objections.
Only Leo from Liberty City muttered: "Why is he here too?"
But since everyone has left, there is no need to delve deeper into this matter.
When everyone in the beach area was gone, only Marshal Lieyang, Xiaozhou Weird, Bian An, Tang Long, Tang Ling and the nine city lords were left in the sea shrouded by a shield. The great captain Tang Ling was also connected. Quietly retreated.
Seeing all the irrelevant people leaving, Hei Lao waved his sleeves, and the originally destroyed arena was rebuilt. Although it was not restored to its original state, at least it had a place to stay, and he no longer had to stand on the sea. Hei Lao was the first to arrive at the ring: "This place is simple and there is no drink reception, so we can just make do with it."
As he spoke, Hei Lao waved his hand again, and some of the sharp stones on the stacked ring were immediately and silently smoothed, making it possible for people to sit on it.
"You and I have come this far through a bloody storm, how can we be so particular about it? Mr. Hei is so polite." Emperor Han took the lead in choosing a stone to sit down on. As the master of the First City, he naturally wanted to be the first to do everything.
After Emperor Han sat down, everyone also sat down. Only a pair of weirdos on the boat did not sit down.
"Hei Lao, the faceless man and I have long since stopped caring about worldly affairs, and we are not even interested in the next thing. Here, we only ask for one thing and then leave." The old woman on the boat finally spoke at this time. .
"Well, Aunt Bo, you're welcome. Please tell me." It turns out that the disfigured old boatman was called Faceless Man, and the old woman was called Aunt Bo? Hei Lao seemed kind, but in fact he was domineering, and showed rare courtesy to Bo Gu.
"From now on, this little girl from the other side will be ours. I wonder if everyone will agree to this request?" Bo Gu was also a straightforward person, and she made her request directly.
What kind of plea is this? Are they the ones who declare that the other side is their protector? Or is the other side following them from now on
But no matter who it was, everyone present had a complicated expression on their faces.
Hei Laoze was very indifferent. He asked: "Aunt Bo, do you want to say that this little girl will follow you from today on?"
"She will follow me and the Faceless Man, but not now. When the time comes, we will naturally pick her up. If you agree to my and the Faceless Man's request, then you have to give us a guarantee for the safety of this little girl. Guaranteed." Bo Gu's head was covered with a veil, and no one could see Bo Gu's expression clearly.
However, it is so natural to say this, but in the face of so many big people, it is really worth pondering how deep this background is.
"I have no opinion. What's your opinion? The important thing is, Bian'an, what's your own opinion?" Hei Lao actually asked about Bian'an's opinion.
It's weird, but it makes sense.
On the other side is the Queen of Disaster. She may not be the opponent of anyone present, but her destructive power definitely exceeds everyone present.
Besides, it's just that she is no match now.
"I have no objection." Bian An glanced at Tang Ling who was unconscious on the beach from a distance.
If possible, what she wanted most was to follow Tang Ling.
But before, Bo Gu had been using secret techniques to talk to Bi'an. She told Bi'an some things and gave Bi'an a sincere analysis of everything about the future.
Bian'an decided that she would follow the faceless man and Bo Gu, at least for a short period of time.
However, she still wanted to spend some time with Tang Ling before that, and in the future, she could also keep some contact with Tang Ling until they could really get together again.
This is already a very beautiful future, and the other side firmly believes that Tang Ling will wait for her.
There is a special bond between them.
"Okay, in that case I have no objection." Hei Lao was very direct and sat down after saying this.
"I have no objection." Emperor Han had his own selfish motives. Bian's departure saved him some trouble. What objection could he have? Although, his mood was complicated and weird.
"I have no objection." Everyone did not expect that the third person to express his stance was Marshal Lieyang. Why would Steel Blood City participate in this? What is the profound meaning of his statement
Everyone was speculating, but it was impossible to give any explanation based on Lie Yang's personality.
However, the three most important bosses, plus the requests from people like Bo Gu and Faceless Man, shouldn’t have any objections!
The Queen of Disaster is actually a time bomb, so this is a good way to deal with it.
Even though everyone's mood was as complicated and weird as Emperor Han's.
"Haha." After receiving everyone's reply, Bo Gu unexpectedly gave a rare laugh.
It's just that her laughter is dry and sounds a little weird, just like her name, it also has a hint of coolness.
"That's good, then the Faceless Man and I will say goodbye. After the Road to the God of War next year, the Faceless Man and I will come to pick up the other side. When the time comes, we will pick up the other side that is intact and without any harm." Bo Gu emphasized again.
"Don't worry, Bo Gu."
"It's no problem, dear Aunt Bo."
"Aunt Bo, don't worry."
Everyone made promises in a hurry. With their strength, it is not a trivial matter to protect the other side.
"Okay, Aunt Bo appreciates everyone. Well, Bian'an also promised me that he will never take action at any time unless the kid is in danger, and he will definitely restrain himself within a certain range. I believe this girl , you all just believe it," Bo Gu said in the end.
"That's very good. Then thank Aunt Bo." Everyone nodded, and Mr. Hei thanked Aunt Bo on behalf of everyone.
Bo Gu didn't say anything anymore. She just waved her hand and moved Bi'an from the pillar of the arena to the side of the unconscious Tang Ling.
The faceless old man gave a rare nod to everyone, then directly propped up the boat and headed towards the sea.
In just the blink of an eye, the boat went very far away as slowly as it came, and in a moment it was no longer visible.
The two men also left, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
These secular representatives could finally talk about the next extremely important thing.
However, before this, Tang Ling was still 'ownerless' after all.
As if anticipating the thoughts of these people, Hei Lao glanced at Tang Ling who was placed on Bian's lap. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Marshal Lieri: "I came here to pay attention to the so-called big things that will happen next. No idea.”
"The only thing I want to be sure of is where Tang Ling will go from here. If this matter is settled, I will leave immediately."
Another person who has accomplished something and is about to leave
Emperor Han valued Tang Ling extremely highly. In fact, he had never given up on getting Tang Ling to the capital city.
Therefore, when Marshal Lieri finished these words, Emperor Han said sarcastically: "Marshal Lieri, why don't you learn from Bo Gu? Just declare that you want Tang Ling to follow you? Or, you still want to Express that Tang Ling is the person you want to protect from now on?"
"I don't have these thoughts. Tang Ling is free to decide where he wants to go." Marshal Lieri denied very simply, but the next second he said, "But, he can't go to an inappropriate place. I will object."
"Dear Marshal Lieyang, what do you mean by this?" It was Leo who spoke again.
"Or Marshal, do you think it's not a good thing for Tang Ling to follow me and become an honorable knight?" Lord William also spoke.
"He knows the sword, follow me to Yaori Island, and I will devote all my life's efforts to teaching him to be a talented person." The owner of Yaori Island is not willing to lag behind.
Other city lords also wanted to express their opinions.
Even at their level, they have to fight for what should be fought for.
"Everyone, can you listen to me?" Hei Lao had expected such a scene and simply interrupted everyone.
Hei Lao again? Didn't he just declare that he absolutely coveted Tang Ling
However, at this time, one can only listen to the words of the owner of the Dark Port. After all, the initiative here lies with him.
"Whose son is Tang Ling? You won't forget, will you? You don't really think that there is nothing behind Tang Ling, right?" Hei Lao did not say any decision, but asked everyone a few questions.
Everyone was silent, it was better to just avoid this kind of question.
But escaping doesn't mean that they really don't know. It doesn't mean that Tang Ling has grown up to this point without anyone to protect him.
Like the crazy lion in Safe Zone 17, he once appeared in this world. Although I don’t know why he disappeared again
Also like in Dark Harbor, Tang Ling studied under Huang Dao. Whether Zodiac admits it or not, this is already an established fact.
Finally, his fighting spirit!
Why isn't everyone surprised by his resurrection? ! It's because everyone knows that people with truly top-level combat types have two lives, and they can share their lives with the combat type at critical moments.
You can't say that Tang Ling was born with a fighting spirit, right
Well, whether it's Su Xiao, Huang Dao, or Zhan Zhong, everything has a strong shadow of the Dragon Army!
Okay, I've paid off the debt. I breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't expect that I, who have always been lazy and updated, would be so diligent one day. Forget it, let’s not mention the dark history. However, I occasionally think that I have many regrets about this book. Would it be better if I updated it as lazily as I did before? When the cold gets better, I will write a summary for October. In other words, it is a summary of the writing of a stage of this book that is about to be completed.
(End of chapter)
