Chapter 1541 Detention
Just as the City of Hope was celebrating, Song Jian received more than a dozen system prompts, all of which were prompted by the decline in reputation among various cities and him.
Even the title of Count that was obtained in the Capital of Sin was directly deprived. Although this title had become dispensable after Song Jian became the city lord, being deprived at this time always gave people a very unpleasant feeling.
"City Lord, what's wrong?" Wang Qi found that Song Jian's face changed slightly and asked quickly.
"Nothing!" Song Jian shook his head and said. Such things do not need to be shared with others, just know them.
"Don't worry, the city lord, I will arrange people in the next few days to search the sewer to see if there are any undiscovered relics..." Wang Qi promised.
"This kind of ruin should appear in the form of a copy, so that the brothers who are searching will be more careful." Song Jian ordered.
The monsters in the dungeon are much stronger than those in the wild. If you are not careful, maybe even the searching player will not realize that he has entered a dungeon. If he is besieged by monsters, he may be in danger of his life.
"The ruins targeted by so many legendary powerhouses cannot be a small or medium-sized dungeon, it must be a large or even super-large dungeon." Song Jian said in his heart.
"I understand, City Lord, don't worry, we..." Wang Qi nodded repeatedly, and was about to say something, but his face suddenly changed. He seemed to have received some news. After a while, a hint of anger appeared on Wang Qi's face.
"City Lord, our caravan was detained by the City of Holy Light. They not only detained all the caravan's goods, but also asked us to pay a fine of 10 million Doomsday Kill, and also asked you to go and apologize in person." Wang Qi whispered.
"What, how dare the City of Light do this?"
"It's simply shameless. Why do they detain our caravan..."
"Lawless? NPCs in the game world? Are you so arrogant? Our caravan did not transport contraband? How could they detain them at will?"
...
For a moment? The managers of the City of Hope rebuked the City of Holy Light for this behavior.
You should know? Even if all cities list the City of Hope as an "unfriendly city"? Will future commercial behavior be banned? However, the caravans of the City of Hope have no right to detain, let alone fines and let the Lord of One City apologize in person. This is simply a pure provocation.
"What's going on with this caravan?" Song Jian asked in a deep voice.
"The caravan heading to the City of Holy Light? It's just a small caravan? There are three players and twelve NPC professions in charge. They transport only some ores, wood and herbs, and a small amount of gems? After being shipped to the City of Holy Light for sale, they will also buy some specialties from the City of Holy Light? When they come back to sell, they will make a profit of about one million Doomsday Kjets at a time..." Wang Qi said softly.
Since the exploitation of the Valley of the Undead, more than a dozen caravans have been established in the City of Hope, and each caravan has a fixed route, providing a continuous stream of wealth for the construction of the City of Hope.
...
On the other side, in the City of Holy Light, Wang Yueyao was very angry. Facing the crowd of city guards, he shouted loudly: "Why do you detain our goods and why don't you let us out of the city?"
A soldier wearing heavy armor said in a deep voice expressionless face: "The City of Hope has been listed as an unfriendly city by the City of Holy Light. Your caravan is not allowed to approach the City of Holy Light in the future. At the same time, we suspect that your living creatures are hidden in contraband and need to be inspected. You must wait for us to check before you can leave the city!"
"What right do you have to withhold our goods? What right do you have to check?" Another player, Su Nan, held the staff in his hand tightly to block the city guard's goods from approaching the caravan.
"Yue Yao, Su Nan, let them check!" A middle-aged man frowned. He was the captain of the caravan, named Jiang Guo. He could clearly feel that the NPC team of city guards in front of him was different from what they encountered in normal times. They were obviously elite. The armor and weapons on them were all high-quality, and each person's strength was at the third-level combat power. The leader had even reached the peak of the third-level combat power. Once a conflict broke out, their team would be suppressed instantly.
"Captain, they are too bullying..." Wang Yueyao said angrily.
"Okay, the city lord is back. They are targeting the city lord. We just need to do what they said. Don't worry, the city lord will make the decision for us!" Jiang Guo comforted.
Song Jian’s return to suppress more than ten legendary powerhouses has already spread throughout every city through the built-in forum in the game, and Jiang Guo and the others are no exception.
It was precisely because of this that the caravan that had to stay in the City of Holy Light for a few days before purchasing goods decided to leave here immediately. Unexpectedly, the City of Holy Light responded so quickly. When they were about to get the city gate, they dispatched elite city protection troops to stop them.
The caravan's goods were detained, and the three players of Jiang Kingdom and all NCP professionals were also imprisoned in the city prison. In the city lord's mansion in the City of Holy Light, an old man in gorgeous clothes was standing respectfully behind two priests wearing white robes, listening to one of them's teachings.
"Song Jian killed the Holy Maiden of Light and killed the High Priest of Versailles. This is a provocation to the God of Light!" A handsome middle-aged priest, holding a short staff of more than one foot long, waved it gently, and said.
At the top of the short staff, a diamond the size of a fist was inlaid, and as he waved, a dazzling divine light burst out.
"Yes, what Priest Seris said is very true. Song Jian's behavior is a provocation to the Divine Cult!" The white-haired city lord Tos, who was on the side, agreed nervously: "I have followed the orders of the two priests to detain a caravan of Hope City. I believe that this will definitely cause dissatisfaction in the City of Hope. Song Jian is likely to come to rescue them."
"Hmph, the City of Hope is just an emerging city. Except for the city lord Song Jian, there is no legendary powerhouse. As long as he arrives, we must let him be buried in the City of Holy Light!" Seris gently wiped the diamond at the top of the staff with his left hand, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.
"Two priests, I have a small request. If a fight occurs, can I not happen in the City of Holy Light?" The Lord of Tos's forehead was covered with sweat and hesitated.
Seris turned his head and looked at the Lord Toss, which made him feel heavy pressure and almost fell down on his knees.
"If the legendary battle breaks out in the City of Holy Light, it may cause huge damage to the city and cause irreversible losses. This is also a loss for the Divine Cult, and this loss can be completely avoided." The Lord of Tos explained nervously.
"Don't worry, Lord Tos, we have thought of this a long time ago!" Another priest who stood beside Seris and had not spoken, comforted softly: "We will block Song Jian outside the City of Holy Light, and will not cause any damage to the City of Holy Light."
After hearing this, Lord Tos finally felt relieved, nodded slightly, and showed a flattering smile on his face.
