Chapter 132: Rumors in Fantexi Cheng

~7 min read 1,277 words

Through Lilisi's senses, Xie Yaoyao finally knew why he had been assassinated.

Originally, it was simply because that toy bear Aaron had been camping him in the Dong Qu for too long, which made that goat-headed demon Bafengte feel that he was an extremely important character, so he planned an assassination.

Sure enough, the world is just a makeshift stage; he almost died for such a reason.

This is too unjust!

No, it seems it's not unjust!

That City Lord of Fantexi Cheng, whom he had never met, seemed to be paying too much attention to him!

If he were just a friend his son could talk to, he wouldn't arrange for a top general under his command to camp in the Dong Qu for several days.

But fortunately, he had now successfully used Wumusi's words to attract Roman's attention, and looking at the rabbit's reaction, he was unaware of this matter.

Then this guy would inevitably go to investigate or simply ask the City Lord in person. As long as Lilisi kept following him, he would be able to get more intelligence!

But what Xie Yaoyao didn't expect was that after Roman returned to the manor, he didn't ask the City Lord, nor did he send anyone to investigate intelligence; he just stayed in his own territory with his newly acquired Dark Elf lackey and Lilisi, tinkering with his machines.

However, with Roman's prestige, Lilisi managed to tour the entire manor, except for the castle in the very center.

Everyone knew that Viscount Enqin Feng Gelaci lived in the castle, but Roman hadn't been to the castle once since he returned, only experimenting with his new machines on his personal drill ground.

The mechanical workshop next to the drill ground was Roman's daily workspace, and he spent most of his time soaked in it.

Through Lilisi, Xie Yaoyao also witnessed what a mechanical otaku was, and at the same time, he found rows of brand-new pocket watches in a display cabinet.

Needless to say, these pocket watches must be the rabbit holes that could travel between various worlds.

With this biggest harvest, Xie Yaoyao began to calculate how to go home.

First of all, the rabbit Roman didn't know the spatial coordinates of the real world, so it was certain that none of those rows of pocket watches could lead to the real world.

Then the closest thing was the Fairytale World, or he could let the rabbit make him a new rabbit hole that could go to the real world.

But from the story of the Devil Grand Duke Beiruier, Xie Yaoyao understood that it was better not to leak the spatial coordinates of the real world casually; who knew when it would bring a disaster to the world.

Besides, he didn't know how to handle spatial coordinates or anything!

With various difficulties placed in front of him, Xie Yaoyao had to instruct Lilisi to follow the rabbit Roman first and make other plans later.

Since they were both playing with machines, he didn't know if that old goblin on Aier's side could make a device similar to a rabbit hole.

"Or, just kill the rabbit Roman? It makes no sense that I can't make something that guy can make after I equip his entries!"

In his self-talk, Xie Yaoyao set the last resort for himself.

In the following time, Fantexi Cheng completely ushered in days of martial law.

The shock troops were arresting the Rebel Party throughout the city, and fierce battles broke out from time to time. As the situation intensified, whether they were truly Rebel Party members no longer mattered.

Because a rumor began to spread in the city.

"The three-year period is up! The time Viscount Gelaci and the devil Beiruier signed has almost arrived. Gelaci has already prepared to sacrifice the souls of the entire city to the devil."

The one speaking was the bear-man boss of the bakery next door. It's hard to imagine a bear-man over two meters tall and extremely robust being so gossipy.

Xie Yaoyao had changed the 【Gunfire Baron】 entry and had been working at the 'Riddle Men's Clothing Store' for three days. During this period, he had already communicated the situation with Helai'er and Nie Yingying, who were still in the real world, and temporarily handed over his pet shop to her to take care of.

And the sneaky bear-man in front of him had come to get familiar with Xie Yaoyao on the second day. He didn't know where he got his information sources, but he could always get the latest intelligence in the city.

"Tom, if you ask me, you're really miserable. You just got rolled into this damn world by a space-time rift and ran into this world being finished!"

The bear-man boss looked emotional, not forgetting to take a bite of his homemade baguette.

"That can't be helped. My original world wasn't a safe world either."

Xie Yaoyao smiled and took the conversation casually.

Seeing that Xie Yaoyao didn't mean to attach importance to it, the bear-man boss looked around sneakily and continued.

"People on our street have already discussed it. If something happens, everyone will hide at Old John's Clock Shop at the end of the street. The Tuchi Brothers have been there for the past two days!"

Looking at Xie Yaoyao's confused expression, Lao Fulanke on the side explained.

"The Tuchi Brothers are magicians from another Underground City who also came here by accident. Finding Fantexi Cheng more stable, they settled down."

Then the bear-man boss took over the conversation.

"They also kept the coordinates of that Underground City and have been setting up a teleportation array in Old John's backyard for the past two days!"

After speaking, he winked at Xie Yaoyao and Lao Fulanke.

"Eighty soul coins per person, this is a price only for old neighbors!"

Xie Yaoyao and Frank looked at each other.

These people really had great supernatural powers.

But if that Underground City were very good, the Tuchi Brothers wouldn't have settled here. Thinking about it, it probably wasn't a good place either.

But compared to being about to have their souls harvested by the Devil Grand Duke, it was acceptable.

Frank said under Xie Yaoyao's eye signal.

"My entire net worth adds up to less than twenty soul coins. It seems I can't run away! How about you, Tom?"

"Me? I just arrived here! Beili, do you think the Tuchi Brothers will accept gold coins? I do have some gold coins."

"How is that possible! This isn't the main material plane; who would want gold coins!"

Bear-man Beili's voice became sharp, then he shook his head with regret, and then went sneakily toward the gray dwarf's grocery store across the street.

Watching bear-man Beili leave, Xie Yaoyao and Frank smiled at each other.

But then Frank's face showed a worried look again. Ordinary humans like him were most afraid of changes.

Little Alice saw Frank's worry, her little hands grabbing Frank's hem tightly, her little face full of concern.

"Don't worry, Miss Alice! It will be fine, Frank will have a way!"

He didn't know if Frank had a way, but Xie Yaoyao knew that compared to the money-cheating Tuchi Brothers and the silly bear-man boss, he still had some confidence in being able to protect these two fellow countrymen.

"Frank, you guys be careful, I'll go out and scout the situation again!"

Saying this, Xie Yaoyao picked up a white mask from the counter and put it on, flicked the tail of his tuxedo, and turned into a swift to fly out of the small shop! ===== CHAPTER 133 =====
