Dragon's Origin

Chapter 483: Agreement (Part 1)

Move half of the armory to Wang Sheng? Of course, that's impossible! The butler's wry smile was even more pronounced than before. This was only because of their reputation. If they didn't consider their reputation, would he want to move the entire armory over?

Why did Wang Sheng clash with Uncle Li? The fundamental reason was that Wang Sheng wanted to find a powerful attacking martial skill in the armory. The City Lord gave him two as a favor, which made Uncle Li think that Wang Sheng's level was obtained through deception, leading to conflict between the two.

Therefore, from the beginning, the butler knew that Wang Sheng would definitely have designs on the armory. The City Lord was also clear about this, and it could even be said that Wang Sheng's initial target was the armory.

However, the armory was extremely important to Worry-Free City, so much so that even though the City Lord knew Wang Sheng's goal, he still wanted the butler to try his best to satisfy Wang Sheng with other methods, rather than using the secrets within the armory.

Now that Wang Sheng directly mentioned the armory, the butler naturally couldn't avoid it and could only smile wryly.

"Brother, you also know that half of the armory is absolutely impossible," the butler said, even though he didn't want to speak, he could only bargain with Wang Sheng at this moment.

"Then how much do you say?" Wang Sheng asked unceremoniously, "Forty percent?"

"Forty percent is also impossible!" The butler still shook his head.

This time, Wang Sheng didn't speak, waiting for the butler to say Worry-Free City's bottom line.

"Four books." The butler looked at Wang Sheng's expression, feeling a headache. But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say what the City Lord meant.

"How much?" Wang Sheng looked at the butler with an expression of being insulted, and asked loudly.

"Four books." The butler's voice was three points lower, and his head was also lowered. He didn't dare to look Wang Sheng in the eyes, just held out four fingers to indicate the number.

"Brother, how many gold coins did you spend on this trip? Count it tenfold, and Steward Wang will bring it to you later, so you won't have made a wasted trip." Wang Sheng chuckled, his tone softened: "Don't leave at noon, I'll treat you all to drinks. Recently, Yu Baozhai has a new batch of good wine, try it."

Regarding the armory secrets just now, Wang Sheng didn't mention a word, and directly invited them to drink. The meaning was very clear, this matter doesn't need to be discussed, everyone should do what they should do.

Of course, whether it's the Royal Symphony Orchestra or the All Grandmaster Band, people from Worry-Free City shouldn't plan to participate deeply in the future. Maybe some can get tickets through other relationships, but it's unlikely to go through normal channels from Wang Sheng's side.

This is the only way Wang Sheng can restrain Worry-Free City now, and it's also a method of putting pressure on all parties. Anyway, whoever doesn't cooperate, then his enemies will grow stronger. They don't even need Wang Sheng to do it himself, their enemies and opponents will be happy to help step on them.

It was easy for Wang Sheng to say, but the butler immediately became anxious. If he couldn't reach an agreement with Wang Sheng, then Worry-Free City would be passive in the future, how could this work?

But in the end, the current situation between the two sides was caused by Uncle Li. The focus of the conflict was that the one who made the mistake didn't receive any punishment, but the consequences had to be borne by Wang Sheng, who didn't make a mistake. This was unfair no matter where it was placed. This was also the reason why the dignified City Lord of Worry-Free City was willing to bow his head in front of Wang Sheng.

"Brother, for the sake of me and the two of them, please raise your hand slightly." The butler quickly continued to speak, not wanting Wang Sheng to stop talking: "You don't want to fall out with Worry-Free City, right? If you really fall out, Uncle Li will be the happiest one."

"Brother, you don't dare to move Uncle Li, I'll help you deal with him, aren't you happy?" Wang Sheng looked at the butler and asked in confusion: "Just because he can help you guard the armory? To be honest, I dare not say that there are ten thousand ways to keep secrets, but I can definitely get out a thousand ways safely, is it necessary?"

"It's not that simple." The butler could only continue to reveal a little bit: "Just like how if someone commits a great crime, as long as they escape to Worry-Free City, outsiders can't pursue them, these are all agreements from a long time ago. As long as Uncle Li is in Worry-Free City, he can't be touched."

"If you had said so earlier, I would have killed him in the capital!" Wang Sheng's eyes widened. If he had known this, he would have directly killed Uncle Li with Old Daoist Lingxu in the capital. Regret! He let such a hidden danger leave.

"Then he must never leave Worry-Free City in the future, and it's best not to appear on the ground of Worry-Free City." Wang Sheng directly threw out a suggestion: "Or go back to his underground to be a rat. As long as he dares to come to the ground, then don't blame me for being impolite."

"Brother, you're joking." The butler finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "If he's only in the inner city, who can move him? Brother, please don't do anything in the inner city, to avoid trouble."

"Brother!" Wang Sheng laughed: "Do you want me to prove that I can send the City Lord's Mansion of Worry-Free City to the sky from twenty miles outside the city? You can't say that I'm doing this in the inner city of Worry-Free City, right?"

Send the City Lord's Mansion to the sky from twenty miles outside the city? The butler shivered directly. If someone else dared to say this, the butler would definitely listen to it as a joke. But if Wang Sheng said this, then it might not be a good joke.

Wang Sheng had killed the Great Elder of the Dai family from several miles away. It didn't seem completely impossible to destroy the City Lord's Mansion of Worry-Free City from tens of miles away, right?

This is troublesome! The first thought in the butler's mind was this. Uncle Li might really only be able to shrink back underground to be a rat, otherwise, as long as Wang Sheng kept acting outside Worry-Free City, there would be no stable place in the inner city, and even the City Lord might have trouble sleeping and eating.

Looking at Wang Sheng's serious face that wasn't joking at all, the butler's heart kept twitching. What's going on? Because of an Uncle Li, now even the City Lord can't sleep, this is a big trouble.

The only good news was that Wang Sheng had relented and no longer insisted on killing Uncle Li. But the price was that Uncle Li couldn't appear on the ground and couldn't leave Worry-Free City. Although Uncle Li was definitely still guarding the armory underground, being forced to stay underground and staying underground voluntarily were two different things. I don't know if Uncle Li can accept this.

Of course, these are all things that the City Lord has to worry about. Now the butler's affairs haven't been completed, and he hasn't obtained Wang Sheng's complete understanding. He has to make Wang Sheng treat Worry-Free City equally in the matters of musician training and future performance tickets.

"What other requirements do you have? Say them all." The butler asked Wang Sheng, taking advantage of Wang Sheng's current relaxed attitude: "Four kinds of cultivation methods are the foundation, what else does Worry-Free City need to do? Bring them up together."
