Chapter 807: Lowly as Grass
Entering the Ice King City without any obstruction, not a single soldier dared to come forward to check Su Hao's identification, and Jack was the same.
After walking for a long time after entering the inner city, Su Hao looked around, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
It was almost the structure of a complete ancient city, markets, houses, children playing, but he didn't see any private schools or schools for teaching and educating people.
The more Su Hao observed, the more he could see the thoughts of the ruler through various layouts.
It seems that he only wants absolute rule and doesn't need disobedient people.
Su Hao turned his head to look at Jack, his performance of the contempt that a Magic Beast Master should have becoming more and more proficient; he considered himself to have performed 80% of the contempt and arrogance of a Magic Beast Master.
Su Hao asked lightly: "What are you going to do next, go to Priest Yana to report the loss of the Radiant Petals?"
Jack gave a bitter smile and told everything to this Magic Beast Master who could be said to be kind to them: "This lowly one can only do this. I only hope Priest Yana can give me a pension considering that my brothers have all fallen. After all, their families are not well-off either."
Su Hao's brows furrowed slightly, but Jack didn't see it under the cover of the fur hat, and he continued to talk to himself: "Xiongda's child will be eight years old this year. If he hasn't saved up 10,000 Eris by then, he will be banished from the King City. Then he will fall into those small tribes outside that are full one meal and hungry the next."
Su Hao knew what Jack meant by Eris; it was a currency in the Ice King City.
And Jack and his team of more than a dozen big men traveled long distances to the harsh, bitter cold place for a task that took nearly half a month, and the total reward was... 1,000 Eris.
This was already an exceptionally generous reward from Priest Yana... The normal daily wage for working in the Ice King City was... 5 Eris.
Moreover, they needed to work at least twelve hours a day, and only had one day off on the weekend.
Many people, in order to make money, were often willing to work on weekends voluntarily, just to save enough money to keep their children in the Ice King City.
And they tried to be frugal every day, but the unavoidable expenses still required 2 to 3 Eris.
It's just like hell...
It takes many years of work to keep one's children in the Ice King City and avoid the pain of separation.
Walking in the city for a while longer, fortunately, he didn't run into a real Magic Beast Master.
Magic Beast Masters were an identity possessed by only a small number of people in the Ice King City, and a small number meant that they all knew each other's roots; as long as a stranger like Su Hao met them, his identity would probably be exposed.
Soon, led by Jack, who didn't dare to ask why Su Hao followed him, the two came to an old mansion that was larger than the commoners' residences but already very simple.
Jack walked to the gate of the old mansion, and the iron ring used for knocking on the door was already covered with a thick layer of dust; it could be seen that no one had visited here for a while.
Jack carefully knocked on the door 2.5 times with the iron ring; this was the secret code required by Yana. If the code was wrong, Yana would neither see him nor pay the reward.
Jack was very uneasy about whether he could get a meager pension for his dead brothers.
Soon, with the creaking sound of the old door being pushed open, a voice as beautiful as an oriole rang out.
"Jack, you're finally back!"
Su Hao could hear that the woman's voice was a bit anxious, and there was a faint joy of relief.
Like the image in the Flower of Time, the woman wore a light green translucent veil that reached her thighs, and her clear and beautiful face was covered with a gold-edged translucent black veil. She wore a green slim-fitting long dress, and wore a ring that could be seen to be made of gold on each wrist and ankle.
Ever since she entrusted the caravan task to Jack, Yana had been waiting at home in anxiety.
The state of the God of Abundance was getting worse and worse, and their clan had been unable to successfully remake the God's Reins due to the obstruction of the Ice King.
Finally, she used some connections to find Jack's caravan, which hadn't received too much attention. In the half a month waiting for their return,
she could be said to have not eaten well or slept well.
Now, she finally waited for Jack's return, but... what is the situation with this Magic Beast Master who is followed by a Magic Beast wearing a restraint device!!??
Yana's heart was almost in her throat, and the thought that the plan had been exposed flashed through her mind, along with a trace of sadness for her parents who had conveyed their long-cherished wish to her and had already been taken to the execution ground and beheaded.
If one person knows, it means all Magic Beast Masters, and even the Ice King, know.
In such a desperate situation, Yana's belief was strengthened again... she couldn't be caught now!
Yana's gaze became sharp, and at the same time, she looked at Jack with a disappointed expression; it seemed that Jack had tipped them off. She even intended to mention the reward again.
"Weavile!" Yana raised her voice and shouted toward the room.
The next moment, a dark gray phantom rushed out from the inner room. The magical thing was that it wasn't wearing any restraint devices.
Weavile's figure was like the wind, its claws entwined with dark purple energy, and it aimed its Night Slash directly at Su Hao's throat!
Su Hao was also confused by Yana's sudden hostility, but he didn't make any reaction, and Lucario beside him directly carried the heavy training device that suppressed half of its speed and strength and met it.
In an instant, Lucario's right fist fell with starlight, and its fists, plated with a metallic luster, caught the Night Slash, and then its left fist blasted out. Weavile let out a pained cry and was knocked flying several meters away.
Su Hao stopped Lucario, who was slowly rotating a Vacuum Wave and preparing to teleport over to instantly kill Weavile, and looked at Yana, who was pursing her lips and looking determined not to give in, and said helplessly: "I haven't said anything yet, why did you attack directly?"
Yana gritted her teeth, ready to not say a word to these betrayers no matter what cruel treatment she received, and would never reveal the truth that the God of Abundance was very weak now: "No matter what you do to me, I will not say a word to you betrayers!"
Su Hao's mouth twitched slightly, and he instantly understood why Yana had attacked him.
Emotionally, she had mistaken him for an accomplice of the Magic Beast Masters in the Ice King City.
Su Hao signaled Lucario with his eyes, and Lucario understood and took off the weight training device.
Under Weavile's terrified expression of "Was I just fighting this monster?", accompanied by the crisp sound of the alloy falling to the ground, Su Hao smiled: "Is there a possibility that I am the same as you?"
