Chapter 344 Sotun: I want to slap myself!
Gulu~Gulu~
Sotun and several of his confidants were displeased because their weapons had been confiscated.
However, upon entering Dragon City, the group was immediately drawn to the spacious and clean streets before them.
The streets here are much more glamorous than their city lord's mansion.
In particular, after a long and arduous journey, everyone was quite hungry.
As soon as they entered the city, they smelled a rich, sweet aroma, and several people's stomachs immediately growled.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings! You're a disgrace!" Sotun scolded with a stern face.
But the next second, a rumbling sound came from his stomach.
Several trusted confidants stared blankly over. "Is your stomach growling the loudest?"
"I'm not hungry! It's just... my stomach is a little upset." Sotun was being stared at by several of his confidants, and his face turned slightly red, a rare occurrence for him. He could only offer this weak excuse.
"Yes, yes!" The confidants nodded in agreement.
In his heart, however, he was thinking, "Eighth-level experts are immune to all diseases and indestructible."
You're already halfway to the ninth level, how could you possibly have an upset stomach?
"Brother! You must be hungry from your journey." Just then, Batu, who had just left, returned with a few ears of corn and handed one to each of them.
"Thank you, Lord Batu!" Several trusted men took the corncobs and began to eat them without any regard for appearances.
Glug~ glug~ a few more stomach growls sounded.
Sotun held the corn, swallowing repeatedly, hesitating whether or not to eat it.
After all, as the city lord, his word was always law.
"Brother, why aren't you eating? This corn is a top-quality delicacy! Aren't you starving?" Batu asked, puzzled, seeing that his brother wasn't eating.
Upon hearing this, the confidants immediately looked at their city lord with suspicion.
Sotun's face darkened, and he spoke again: "I've already said, I'm not hungry!"
As he spoke, he casually shoved the corn into the eye of the bald man next to him.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord!" Bald Eyes had just finished eating a cookie and was still hungry, so he immediately expressed his gratitude.
Then, he picked up the corn and wolfed it down again, his face full of enjoyment.
Seeing how much the bald-eyed man was enjoying his food, Sotun felt a surge of hunger; he was getting hungrier and hungrier.
At that moment, what he wanted most was to slap himself.
"Where is the Lord of Dragon City? Take me to see him! Tell him we need to discuss a deal. And you guys... hurry up and finish your meal and get down to business!" Sotun looked towards the inner city, his tone full of impatience.
Watching those bastards eat while he couldn't get any himself made him angrier and angrier.
"Yes, Lord City Lord! It'll be ready soon!"
A moment later, Sotun walked ahead with a dark face, his confidants following with satisfaction.
Xiao Yu knew as soon as Sotun and the others approached the Earth Dragon Turtle, so he had already made arrangements.
Soon, the group passed through the entrance to the forging area and entered the inner city.
Then, the group was once again shocked and exclaimed in amazement.
"Did the Lord of Dragon City say what he wants to trade with us? Can we trade for these corn?" Sotun thought of what his younger brother Batu had mentioned before, the astronomical transaction amount of five million.
Along the way, he saw many good things in Dragon City.
But what he wanted to ask most at that moment was whether he could trade for corn.
Because I had been watching my men eat corn.
Just smelling those aromas makes them look delicious.
At this moment, Sotun's mind was filled with thoughts of corn.
And now, there is such a large cornfield in Longcheng.
If... the five million deal that the Dragon City Lord mentioned can include these corn.
That's something we can consider. It's not that he's just hungry and craving something to eat.
"Uh, well..." Upon hearing this, Batu scratched his head awkwardly and said sheepishly, "The city lord of Dragon City said that I didn't bring any money and wouldn't even talk to me."
"Is that so?" Sotun breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, saying, "Let's talk to the Lord of Dragon City first."
He was afraid that Xiao Yu would simply refuse to discuss it and wouldn't sell these things at all.
After all... if he owned these good things, he would never sell them.
Wouldn't it be better to keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly?
But now it seems that the Lord of Dragon City is greedy.
It's just an energy stone, right? He has plenty!
"Gentlemen, our city lord invites you!" At this moment, three beast-eared girls came to greet them.
Upon seeing the three women, not only the several seventh-tier peak confidants, but even Sotun's pupils shrank. Damn it, all the warriors along the way had each been equipped with a third- or fourth-tier quasi-divine weapon.
Now, three guards who randomly appear are all equipped with top-tier gear?
Compared to that, the weapons of his men were utter garbage!
The key question is, these talents are only at the fifth rank, isn't it a waste to use such good equipment?
"Sigh... Let's go, let's go!"
Sotun has realized that the wealth of Dragon City is far beyond his imagination.
I once thought that the City of Ruins was a behemoth in the wasteland world.
But now... Sotun is feeling a bit exhausted; he feels like he's been outmaneuvered.
Even Sotun was deeply affected, and his confidants were terrified.
The arrogance that once came from a megacity has long since vanished.
At this moment, they looked like a group of defeated roosters, dejected and crestfallen.
"Lord City Lord, this tree seems to contain an incredibly rich life force." As soon as the group entered the City Lord's mansion, a trusted confidant with plant-related talents whispered in Sotun's ear.
"Oh? Could it be that Xueye's recovery from his injuries is related to this tree?" Sotun stared at the towering tree in front of him, which blocked out the sky, and pondered something.
He decided that when he met the Lord of Dragon City later, he would also like to discuss the trade of the essence of this tree.
The essence of this miraculous plant can not only heal wounds, but also greatly help in enhancing strength.
However... thinking of this, Sotun frowned slightly.
Because he felt he had too many things he wanted to trade.
This Dragon City Lord probably won't make a deal with him.
A moment later, Sotun and the others were led to the reception room to sit down.
The group of people looked at each other, surveying everything in the reception room, and marveled once again.
The reception room was much more luxuriously decorated than the neat and tidy house outside.
The walls are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and inside there is a small compartment about the size of a human head, displaying all kinds of exquisite crystal sculptures, both animals and people.
The windows are also semi-transparent crystal windows.
The sunlight shines in.
And on the coffee table and desktop, streaks of brilliant rainbows were scattered.
Several exquisite paintings also hang on the wall.
One of the paintings depicts a stunningly beautiful woman seated on a throne, none other than Medusa, the Queen of Beasts.
"How idle is the Lord of Dragon City! He even learns to paint?" a trusted confidant muttered under his breath.
"Indeed! Instead of wasting time on this, why not improve your strength? Can these pretty but useless things fill your stomach?" The others glanced disdainfully at the paintings and crystal artworks, making sarcastic remarks.
Those portraits with signatures clearly read: Lord of Dragon City, Xiao Yu.
The thought that these seventh and eighth-level powerhouses were eating dust in the desert every day was unbearable.
The city lord of Dragon City, however, spends his days at home painting and has created a collection of exquisite crystal statues.
They felt very uncomfortable.
It's true what they say, comparisons are odious!
"A bunch of idiots!"
Upon hearing this, Sotun angrily retorted, "We are all peerless experts, but we are exhausted like dogs every day and can only eat dust in the desert, while the Lord of Dragon City can live a leisurely life and still hone his painting skills to such a high level. Why do you think that is?"
"Why?" Everyone was completely bewildered and didn't understand at all.
Upon seeing this, Sotun was immediately enraged.
What a bunch of idiots, they can't be taught anything.
This Dragon City Lord is a true super strongman, who surpasses them in every aspect!
This lifestyle was something even the Snow Night City Lord at his peak could only dream of!
"Dear guests, please have some tea!" At this moment, the maid Xiao Zhuo walked in with light steps, carrying a tea tray, and served each of them a cup of hot tea.
A small dish of popcorn was also placed on each person's table.
"What are all these?" Sotun asked curiously, picking up a golden popcorn kernel.
This thing looks so familiar, I wonder where I've seen it before?
