“Okay... okay!”
Although he said that, Zhang Fengye's legs were still trembling.
Seeing this, the smile on the guard's face didn't change. After all, he had been through the same thing before. Qian Er's reputation was just too terrifying. Who wouldn't shiver a few times upon hearing it?
He led Zhang Fengye, who was still lost in his thoughts, into the reception hall. At this moment, Qian Er, dressed in luxurious robes, was sitting in the main seat, while City Lord Zhang was sitting in the lower seat, staring at the two people who walked in with a smile.
The guard, who originally had a relaxed expression, suddenly looked a little stiff. He admitted that he had spoken a little too early. The King didn't say anything, but just sitting there, the pressure was already overwhelming.
Qian Er, characteristic: pressure.
After giving Zhang Fengye a 'good luck' expression, he bowed to Qian Er and City Lord Zhang and quietly left.
“Sit.”
Looking at the uneasy Zhang Fengye, Qian Er smiled slightly and pointed to a seat next to him.
“Oh… oh!”
Zhang Fengye nodded quickly, then sat down carefully, his whole body stiff, with only half his butt on the chair.
City Lord Zhang personally poured a cup of tea for Zhang Fengye and placed it in front of him with a kind expression.
Zhang Fengye was so frightened that he quickly stood up, took it with both hands, and then didn't know whether to stand or sit, standing there like a wooden chicken, not knowing what to do.
“Haha, sit down, sit down.”
City Lord Zhang couldn't help but laugh when he saw his own clansman's nervousness, and quickly waved his hand for him to sit down.
Only then did he sit back down as if he had been granted amnesty, holding the teacup with both hands, taking small sips of tea, just like moistening his lips.
“Do you know why I called you here?”
Qian Er asked with a smile.
“Your Majesty, I know. Big Brother Guard told me just now!”
Mentioning this, Zhang Fengye quickly put the teacup on the table, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.
“Well, although you know, I still have to tell you in detail. I've taken a fancy to your talent and want to invest in you. What I'm offering is a direct descendant of an elder of the Void Sky Crane clan, as well as the resources to help it grow.”
As he said that, Qian Er placed the egg on the table.
“Void… Void Sky Crane!!!”
Hearing the name Void Sky Crane, Zhang Fengye's eyes went wide. He didn't understand what a Void Sky Crane elder was, but he understood what a Void Sky Crane was. That was a great enemy of mankind, and there was absolutely no question about its combat power. He didn't expect that his initial summoned beast could be a Void Sky Crane!
“This is no ordinary Void Sky Crane. It is the direct descendant of one of the three elders of the Void Sky Crane clan. The Void Sky Crane elders are all terrifying existences at the peak of the True King realm. Before, they were absolutely the strongest in the world, and this, as its direct descendant, is guaranteed to have golden qualifications.”
These things could not be said by Qian Er, so City Lord Zhang consciously took over this task and explained the egg inside and out.
After listening, Zhang Fengye's breathing became rapid. A Void Sky Crane with guaranteed golden qualifications, the direct descendant of one of the strongest in the world!
This possibility of changing his fate was placed in front of him, within reach.
But soon, he still struggled to withdraw his gaze and opened his mouth to explain, meeting the two people's questioning eyes.
“Your Majesty, City Lord, what do I need to give in return?”
Zhang Fengye swallowed hard and asked the two of them. His parents had taught him countless times that there was no free lunch in the world. Anything gained was marked with a price in the dark.
He didn't think that there was anything on him worth scheming for by these two people in front of him, even the top-level flying-type amplification talent. Although Qian Er in front of him only had a high-level dark-type affinity talent and was not as good as him, as far as he knew, no one with a top-level talent in the world could surpass Qian Er within a hundred years.
Talent was ineffective in front of Qian Er. He himself was one of the strongest in this world.
Hearing this, Qian Er and City Lord Zhang exchanged surprised glances, and then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
“Not bad, not bad, it's good that you have this idea. Since you asked, then I'll break it down and explain it to you clearly.”
Qian Er smiled and revealed his purpose, including the purpose of spending a lot of money to buy a good horse.
“I see. I'm relieved to be able to help Your Majesty!”
Hearing Qian Er say this, Zhang Fengye was completely relieved. Without saying a word, he immediately signed a contract with Qian Er.
What Qian Er paid was just like what he said before, an egg plus the resources for the egg to grow up.
What Zhang Fengye had to pay was his loyalty.
Neither side of the transaction had any objections, the contract was established, and the goods and money were cleared.
After signing the contract, Zhang Fengye completely relaxed, holding the egg and standing silently behind Qian Er, imitating the appearance of those guards in the TV series.
“Take this to my royal palace and just find someone to take you to the incubation room. There are professionals there to incubate it.”
As he said that, Qian Er threw his waist tag to him.
Zhang Fengye hurriedly took the waist tag, and the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed as he retreated.
“Your Majesty, what do you think of him?”
After Zhang Fengye had completely left, City Lord Zhang asked with a smile.
“He has self-awareness, talent, resources, and backing. Maybe he can take over my class in the future.”
Qian Er said with a smile as he took a sip of tea.
“Your Majesty, you're thinking too far ahead. Besides, you're not that much older than him. He might not be able to outlive you.”
City Lord Zhang complained a few words.
“Haha, I'm thinking too much.”
To this, Qian Er only smiled lightly. His hoarding habit had struck again. When he saw good things, even talents, he couldn't help but want to bring them home.
“Your Majesty, this is the process for your coronation ceremony. See if there's anything you want to add.”
After laughing for a while, City Lord Zhang suddenly asked, while handing a list to Qian Er.
He was more concerned about this matter than Qian Er himself, because what was at stake was Qian Er's face. Qian Er's face was the face of Beishi, and it was also his face, so there could be no loss.
“You're fully responsible. I'm relieved with you handling things.”
Qian Er didn't even look at the list and directly pushed it back.
“Okay, then I'll do it according to the list.”
City Lord Zhang took a deep breath and put the list away, his eyes seeming to burn with flames.
… …
Beishi has been very lively these past few days. Envoys from various countries, and even various races, have been appearing in Beishi. Among them, there are some relationships between predators and prey, but they are all harmoniously in Beishi, and no race dares to cause trouble.
The entire Beishi is shrouded in a cheerful atmosphere, and as time goes by, this cheerful atmosphere becomes more and more intense, and the faces of pedestrians on the road are also full of smiles.
