Chapter 3294

God's Grace City · Middle Ring · Qiyin Avenue · Back Street Area.

The carriage stopped in the courtyard. Although it was less than half a kilometer away from the prosperous Qiyin Avenue, the courtyard appeared quiet and close to nature.

Su Xiao walked out of the carriage. The scent of flowers drifted over. Although the courtyard he was in was not large, it was managed exquisitely. Flower beds, rockeries, ornamental pools, etc., were all available. There were also two jujube trees in the courtyard, and the jujubes were already a bit red.

Symmetrical to this exquisite courtyard was a three-story mansion. Even from the perspective of modern people, this mansion was impeccable.

"Doctor Bai Ye, there is a curfew after 7 o'clock every night in the inner city area, so don't go out casually. Even if you are a distinguished guest invited by the Sea God, it is a very troublesome thing to be detained by the night patrol."

Life Priest · Sophia poked her head out of the carriage and finished this sentence, then ordered the two silly sea beasts pulling the carriage. Before long, the carriage left the courtyard. Sophia should have gone to report to the Sea God.

Su Xiao didn't receive an invitation or anything. After arriving in the main city, Sophia didn't mention that the Sea God wanted to see him, as if it was okay to come here.

Su Xiao pushed the door and walked into the mansion where he was to stay temporarily. After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja checked all the rooms from the first to the third floor, they didn't find any means of surveillance.

This represented the Sea God's attitude. For Su Xiao's arrival, he was both welcoming and not eager, and was not prepared to meet Su Xiao in the near future.

In Su Xiao's view, this was a very wise approach. If he were to win over someone, if time was ample, he would never contact that person immediately, but would observe for a period of time, and then through secret means, let that person have friction with the forces he was hostile to, preferably forming a feud.

At this time, he could stand up and protect that person, making the hostile side uncomfortable, and also making the person he won over more loyal.

This was just a very conventional method, forcibly making that person stand in line, avoiding the other party's arrogance.

In Su Xiao's view, at the moment, the Sea God wanted to use this method to "entertain" himself.

The main city was very large, far beyond the city in cognition. The area here was close to a province in reality, and the population was about ten million.

The main city was divided into many jurisdictions, among which the planting and pastoral areas, outer flow areas, etc., had the largest area. The biggest characteristic here was that the land was vast and sparsely populated, leading to few multi-story apartments, etc.

Calling this a city was mainly because of the hundred-meter-high city wall at the edge of the territory. It could be determined that this was definitely not built by manpower. Its engineering volume was N times that of building the Great Wall. With the situation of the Painting World, it would be good to resist the beast disaster. This kind of historical-level construction project was absolutely impossible to appear.

Even with extraordinary power, creating the city wall in the most marginal area was also an astonishing thing.

Within the scope of the main city, there were mountains, rivers, forests, etc. Those surrounded by walls must be noble areas or rich areas. If you found yourself climbing mountain roads and there were buildings on both sides, you had to be careful. You had a high probability of entering a slum. Whether you could live out depended on your strength, clothing, etc.

Either be particularly strong or particularly poor, otherwise don't go to the slums, let alone go to a slum called the Wolf Spider Area among several slums.

The refugees there were like wolf spiders hiding in sheds. When you arrived at the slum, you would see those children who were starving to skin and bones, the elderly who died of illness on the side of the road. That was an absolute lawless place, hallucinogen trading, brothels, rare beast and organ auctions, etc.

Compared to several slums, the planting and pastoral area was another scene. Even if the people here couldn't reach the level of wealth, they could still eat and wear warm. As long as they settled down, farming was an absolute big daddy, and the second daddy was animal husbandry.

The contrast between the Wolf Spider Area and the planting and pastoral area was too great. In fact, this also revealed a situation: the Sea God's control over the main city was not as powerful as imagined.

Su Xiao had thought of this point before. If the Sea God had great power in the main city, there was no need to let the seven shelter cities outside be autonomous. These were all hidden dangers.

Su Xiao speculated that the Sea God's intention was to first pacify the situation in the main city, and then go to clean up the seven shelter cities outside when he had spare energy.

The current situation was very likely that the Sea God and the hostile forces in the main city were deadlocked. Both sides' forces were intertwined in the main city. It was impossible to have a large-scale chaotic battle. In that case, even if they won, most of the territory of the main city would become ruins.

Without external supplies, the main city would become very poor, and it would be poor for a long time, and it wouldn't be able to recover for a hundred years.

So the two sides were deadlocked, and the fighting between the two sides was constant, but limited to individuals, and would never create large-scale conflicts, or rather, in the struggle between the Sea God and that big shot, the subordinates of the two sides would not obey the order to launch large-scale fighting.

Although the main city was large, this was under the sea. The home one lived in = one's own life + the lives of the whole family. Compared to the safety of the home, the orders of the rulers had to step back. Without a home, the whole family would die. Disobeying orders, one would die, and the whole family would die with a small probability.

Su Xiao believed that the current situation was very good. Before he came, he was very worried that the Sea God would dominate, which would be difficult to handle. At the moment, it seemed that the Sea God had an opponent. Although that opponent couldn't be evenly matched with him, it also made him uncomfortable. At the very least, it was a thorn in the eye.

Looking at it this way, the Sea God's subsequent operation was basically to first not meet himself, and then let himself inadvertently provoke the Sea God's opponent, and then protect himself.

In this way, the Sea God not only beat the opponent but also forced Su Xiao to stand in line, and saved a large sum of "loyalty fees" that should have been paid to Su Xiao, killing three birds with one stone.

Su Xiao came to the Underwater World. Although the mission was not to kill the Sea God, he came to find scroll fragments and fleece wool. If the Sea God didn't let him fleece wool, it would be a huge loss.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao decided to cooperate with a professional in fleece wool. He took out a gold coin from the storage space.

Don't underestimate this gold coin. This was when Su Xiao led hundreds of thousands of wolf cavalry to fight in the Canglong Continent. A wolf cavalry squad was performing an enemy-behind-the-lines blockade mission and robbed it from a king city official, and then presented it to Su Xiao. It was said that this was a coin minted by a certain duke in ancient times. There were only 99 of them. Su Xiao didn't know the specifics. Although this thing didn't have attribute introduction, it was an item that could be brought out of the Canglong Continent.

*Ding～*

The Duke Gold Coin was flicked away, and after a crisp sound, it landed. In the next second, a shoe stepped on it.

"My dear friend, do you have business to find Caesar?"

Caesar appeared, sitting opposite Su Xiao. This guy leaned over and picked up an apple in the fruit plate, and also took away three jujubes, stuffed them into his butt pocket, his technique natural and skilled.

Su Xiao indeed had a big deal to find Caesar, but he had to know Caesar's identity in the main city first.

"Caesar, how long have you been here?"

"Today is the fourth day."

Caesar didn't hide it. Calculating this way, when Su Xiao was still in the ancient castle in the main painting world, Caesar had already arrived here.

"What is your identity here?"

"Potion Master."

"Cough, pfft～"

A wisp of cola spurted out of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's nostrils, and the test tube it was holding in its mouth also fell to the ground.

"Xiang Bubu, you don't believe in my strength."

"Woof?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was confused, particularly confused. It had always felt that Caesar was not as good as it in alchemy.

This was not Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's arrogance. In the Demon Sea, after Su Xiao cooperated with Caesar, he promised to teach Caesar part of the alchemy potion knowledge. As he taught, Caesar didn't learn much, but Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was watching from the side, learned it.

In Su Xiao's team, except for Amu who knew nothing about alchemy, others understood some under the influence of ears and eyes, but the gap with Su Xiao, who had interpreted the Alchemy Secret Code, was huge.

"In other words, the Sea God thinks you are a potion master?"

Su Xiao's words made Caesar raise his chin slightly, and said righteously: "What do you mean by think, I am."

A trace of humble smile appeared on Caesar's face. Unfortunately, he didn't have this temperament.

"How did you fool them?"

"Uh～, using those potions you had left over in the Sun Church."

Caesar's expression was as usual. With his degree of shamelessness, being exposed for this kind of thing, he didn't care at all.

Hearing Caesar say this, Su Xiao no longer cared about this aspect of things in his heart. As long as other alchemists didn't appear, it wouldn't disrupt his plan.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I had a feud with the Sun Bird before, so I had to stew it. Taste it."

Su Xiao took out a lunch box, which contained Sun Bird stewed with mushrooms. Caesar swallowed, then waved his hand, indicating that he had no appetite and wouldn't eat. This guy obviously guessed something.

Su Xiao said Caesar kept him waiting because he thought that Caesar disguised as a potion master to come to the main city had a hundred harms and no benefits. After being exposed, all kinds of troubles would follow.

The reason why Caesar did this was that he was sure Su Xiao would come to the main city of the Underwater World. This was not hard to guess. The Sea God possessed a large number of scroll fragments, and Su Xiao, as a participant in the scroll battle, would naturally come here.

In the situation where Su Xiao would come here, Caesar disguised as a potion master, which was equivalent to preemptively occupying the trademark, meaning that this time he took the initiative to join.

Caesar arrived three days early. In these three days, with his means, he must have contacted a large number of connections and channels. The problem was that he only had connections and channels, but no real talent.

This was Caesar's cleverness. He had to ensure one thing when cooperating with anyone, that was, his own role was irreplaceable. For example, before in the Sun Church, try to ask, if someone else became the quartermaster, could they replace Caesar in the plan? The answer was absolutely impossible.

At the moment, Caesar made himself irreplaceable. By disguising as a pharmacist, he could not only seek a large amount of benefits through alchemy potions but also avoid the risk of exposure. Caesar was responsible for connections, channels, sales, etc., on the surface.

Su Xiao really needed 【Divine Blood Crystal】. The 15 grams obtained before were like stuffing the teeth of the 【God's Judgment】 ring. Not to mention 15 grams, even 150 grams, 1500 grams were not enough. Therefore, 【Divine Blood Crystal】 was the first priority resource to obtain.

Su Xiao could act as a doctor who could suppress beast-transformation disease to earn 【Divine Blood Crystal】, plus the potion business on Caesar's side, and the channels derived from it.

This was the small goal at the current stage: earn 10 catties of 【Divine Blood Crystal】. Regarding how to arrange the Sea God, it also had to enter the planning stage.

In this regard, Su Xiao would not join forces with Wood and Siniyas. If they split up to deal with the Sea God, even if one party was exposed, they wouldn't be wiped out in one pot. One could run away first, and the remaining two would continue to arrange the Sea God, inside and outside.

In dangerous moments, they could also sell each other, abandon the pawn to save the handsome. The one who progressed more smoothly was the handsome, and the other would take the blame and run away, allowing the plan to continue.

Wanting to arrange the Sea God required a breakthrough. Su Xiao's goal at the current stage was Sophia. The other party was the Sea God's eldest daughter. First, make this woman doubt life, and then follow this line to start arranging the Sea God.

Sophia was breakthrough 1. There was another breakthrough, which was the leader of the hostile forces against the Sea God in the main city. This aspect was Su Xiao's personal speculation, and he didn't know if such a person existed.

"Caesar, in the main city, is the Sea God the absolute ruler?"

"Yes, he has the greatest power, but he rarely shows up."

"Is that so."

Su Xiao felt disappointed in his heart. It might be that his previous inference was wrong.

"Actually, it's not accurate to say that. The Sea God does control the entire main city, but the big nobles in the city won't let him handle it at will. More importantly, it's Os · Conrad. This guy is particularly ruthless and dares to go against the Sea God."

Caesar said this, and didn't know where he took out a handful of melon seeds. After eating two, he poured the melon seeds on the table. The melon seeds were damp.

"Os · Conrad?"

"Yes, Os · Conrad, he is the only person in the main city who dares to challenge the Sea God."

"Who is he, so awesome."

Hearing Baja ask this, Caesar smiled mysteriously and said: "This is the Sea God's eldest son. He has a dream, which is to kill his father."

Baja was enlightened. It turned out to be a filial son.
