Chapter 333 Mission Ended——
After the death of both the real and the fake Darles, the reputation of Norman and the Falling Star Martial Spirit Branch Hall reached an all-time high in the city, and he also nominated Youhui to temporarily take over the position of the Lord of Falling Star City.
The four major families in the city, as well as the other small families, dare not say much—
The city lord Darles was dragged to the square and beheaded. If they jump out at this time, they will probably also be beheaded!
They just thought Norman was crazy!
Luo Xing is crazy too!
No matter what, Dales is still the lord of Luoxing City in the Xingluo Empire. Is he qualified to judge him?
And Luo Xing, why did that guy serve as the executioner himself and behead Darles?
Although they didn't know the specific situation, they still chose to remain silent and cooperate.
They are not stupid.
If you jump out at this time, you will definitely be dragged out to establish your authority!
After Youhui temporarily took over the position of city lord, at Zhou Qing's suggestion, he immediately chose to return nearly 70% of the taxes and donations paid by the city residents to the city residents. Of the remaining 30%, 20% was used to purchase the soul sand dug by the residents, and the last 10% was kept for emergencies.
"Speaking of which, where is the Xing Luo Empire's tax revenue mainly used for?" Zhou Qing asked.
You Hui is relatively familiar with the main situation in the Xing Luo Empire. "In addition to the necessary supplies for the operation of the empire, the vast majority of taxes collected from cities are used for the military. The Xing Luo Empire has been training its troops... People in small cities like us don't know, but in the larger cities in Xing Luo, that is, the cities with the main martial spirit halls, the people in the cities all know that the Xing Luo Empire has the idea of unifying the Douluo Continent."
"Military development is indeed very expensive, but the people in the major cities are all aware of it..."
Zhou Qing realized that the Xingluo Empire was really inclined towards the JG regime as he had imagined before, but it was not crazy enough to make all the domestic economic and political affairs serve the military.
It’s normal to think about it.
The competition for the throne of the empire had to involve two Netherworld White Tigers fighting to the death, and it was all exposed, and not even a single high-ranking official thought there was anything wrong with it.
The Spirit Hall's secret obstruction must have ulterior motives, but judging from the current results, it might be a good thing, otherwise a Douluo Continent version of the World War might break out!
"However, this is a bit far from us." Zhou Qing changed the subject and said, "Can we not sell the soul crystals and soul sands we purchased for now? We may buy them from you in the future."
"no problem."
Youhui has the personality of a good person. She will agree to other people's requests reluctantly unless they are extremely rude. What's more, Zhou Qing is her friend, just like Romantina?
You must agree to this favor!
"Thanks!"
Zhou Qing was very grateful.
Soul sand and soul crystal. The former is very good at transmitting soul power...
The latter can even store soul power, and might be the raw material for making soul guide energy storage devices. In the future, let Tang San study it and load it onto the soul guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
As long as the corresponding soul power is stored in advance, this weapon may be used by ordinary people without any soul power...
···
After staying in Luoxing City for another three days, Zhou Qing said goodbye to Youhui and Norman and set off back to Notting City.
"After returning, how do I submit the task?" Tang San asked about this.
"Just consider it a mission failure."
Zhou Qing said, "I have convinced Mr. Norman that he will try his best to minimize our presence in this incident. In addition, since we have 'failed the mission', the top leaders of the two empires will not associate us with this incident after learning about it."
"No, someone will be exposed now!" Xiao Wu's pink eyes fell on Romantina who was driving outside the car.
After all, she was born into aristocracy! "You actually doubted me!" Romantina seemed to have sensed something, turned around, and hugged her arms, "In order to prevent me from betraying you, are you going to hang me up naked and whip me hard? Come on! I will never give in!"
Tang San's face was filled with black lines.
Xiao Wu: ￣□￣｜｜
Zhou Qing laughed and said to Xiao Wu: "Your worries are unnecessary, and what I am most worried about now is you, who looks like a young lady."
"You actually doubted me!" Xiao Wu was indignant, imitating Romantina's tone, but with a puffed face. Seeing that Tang San was also wary, she couldn't help but humph, "I'm ignoring you!"
"Ha ha!"
Including Xiao Wu, four of them laughed.
Then, Tang San brought up the matter of hunting soul beasts again: "Brother Qing, your soul power has reached level 20, and my soul power has reached level 19, not far from level 20. Xiao Wu is the same, and we all need to consider obtaining the second soul ring."
"I won't go with you to hunt the second soul ring. Haven't you analyzed the second soul skill for me? We already have the string, and the next step is to create a 'chest bow' so that we can use our body as the bow."
When it comes to hunting soul beasts, Xiao Wu is a little unimpressed, but she doesn't object as much as she did when she first heard that Zhou Qing and Tang San were going to hunt soul beasts.
But now she obviously cannot reveal her true identity to Zhou Qing, Tang San, Romantina and others -
Afraid of being disliked by Zhou Qing and Tang San.
"OK then."
Zhou Qing also understood Xiao Wu's dilemma and knew that now was not the right time, so he did not force it.
Tang San didn't say much. Everyone has their own secrets and one shouldn't dig into them. Otherwise, they might not even be friends anymore.
Afterwards, Zhou Qing took out the "Death Diary" from the storage soul guide, looked through it carefully, and found the black paper page as thin as a cicada's wing that was sandwiched in it.
"This should be the way Hu Fangyuan wants to complete the evolution of his martial soul."
Tang San took the paper, and looked at the vortex-like lines on the top that were outlined with white lines, frowning: "It seems that the martial soul is really being nurtured in an organ similar to the uterus, but it should be like what you said, Qing Ge, it is nurtured in the 'Soul Palace', not in the uterus that nurtures the fetus."
“So, if we want to study the Soul Palace that truly breeds martial spirits, we have to find children whose martial spirits have not yet awakened and conduct detailed examinations.”
Zhou Qing called Romantina who was driving, "I have already thought of a method. When the vacation starts this semester, we will go back to Holy Soul Village and conduct a detailed check on the children under the age of six to see how they existed before their martial spirits awakened! Of course, Romantina, you can also come to help. I will pay you a salary."
"Salary?" Romantina turned around, not very happy.
"Oh, I see. You must come to help!" Thinking of Romantina's character, Zhou Qing's tone became tougher.
"hiss--"
Romantina shuddered all over. "How dare you be so tough? You are worthy of being the boy I like. At such a young age, you already want to treat me as a slave? This is terrible! I wonder if in a few years, you will become a vulgar person who wants me to wear sexy clothes and have fun with you..."
