Chapter 2026 - 2019: I Don’t Care About It at All
This sentence directly stunned the City Lord of Wind Demon City. How could Zhang Menglong say "I intend to lure" so calmly? He is a person of status and position, and discussing interests with others in public has a very serious impact on his image as a City Lord.
"I don’t think you have anything that can move me!"
The comprehensive strength of the Magic Spirit Clan is about the same as that of humans, so their Guardian Beast’s combat power is roughly comparable to the Azure Dragon.
Humans are a very ancient race, and the existence of the Azure Dragon predates their Guardian Beast by far. Although humans have declined later, if the Wind Thunder Pearl exists, even the Azure Dragon may not be much weaker than the Ice Wing Dragon Bat.
Currently, the Ice Wing Dragon Bat is completely unstoppable without two or three Guardian Beasts to restrain it, and during this process, the Guardian Beasts are likely to suffer severe injuries or even fall!
Why do powerful races not dare to casually eliminate weaker races? It is precisely because of the existence of Guardian Beasts. If the Guardian Beasts do not exist, their defenses would be virtually nonexistent.
And as long as there are Guardian Beasts, even if they eventually win, the cost is not small.
Therefore, asking the Magic Spirit Clan’s Guardian Beast to help Zhang Menglong is definitely a very risky matter. It even concerns the future of the entire Magic Spirit Clan. Zhang Menglong certainly can’t negotiate without offering a big enough benefit!
"That may not necessarily be the case!" Zhang Menglong smiled, "City Lord, although I haven’t reached the Peak of Dao Realm, isn’t my ability to command this massive army of Warcraft enough for you to talk to me?"
This sentence made the City Lord of Wind Demon City pause. Yes, if he appeared to be so weak on the surface, why would those insect clans willingly accept his dominion? This shows that Zhang Menglong is definitely deeply hidden.
"Come in with me!" The City Lord of Wind Demon City waved his hand, "These insect clans..."
"Rest assured, City Lord, these insect clans are all under my control. Without my orders, they will not run around."
"Jin Kela," Zhang Menglong communicated with Jin Kela via divine sense, "take a few subordinates and explore nearby. If there are any insect clan nests, take them in along with you."
Jin Kela’s antenna brushed against Zhang Menglong twice, then turned into a streak of light and flew directly toward its insect clan army.
"A newly born insect king?" The City Lord of Wind Demon City clearly noticed Jin Kela. He was well-informed and had heard that occasionally some very special individuals could be born within the insect clan, known as insect kings. This term does not refer to their life level reaching King Level Warcraft but represents a kind of status, prestige, and the nobility of their bloodline.
"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything," the City Lord of Wind Demon City quickly explained, seeing Zhang Menglong’s wary look, "Several tens of thousands of years ago, an insect king was born, leading countless insect clans to sweep across several hundred races, causing many Guardian Beasts to perish. I don’t know how you subdued it."
The City Lord of Wind Demon City still clearly remembers that disaster, where trillions of insect clans were counted, and even the insect king’s own strength did not lose to a Guardian Beast. Wherever it passed at that time was a complete mess. If it weren’t for multiple races joining forces to slay that insect king, the disaster might have been even greater.
"Your human race will definitely have a huge assist in the future," the City Lord of Wind Demon City showed an envious expression.
...
"Sit down," the City Lord led Zhang Menglong into a luxurious reception room, "You should know, deploying the Guardian Beast is no small matter for a race. I need you to show enough sincerity, and my opinion is just a reference for the Guardian Beast."
The Guardian Beast of the Magic Spirit Clan is a black male lion with three heads and wings, wielding a shadow power that can hide in the shadows and launch a fatal strike. It had some fame long ago, but later, like the human race, it declined due to certain reasons and finally withdrew from the stage of history.
"Of course I know this," Zhang Menglong said, "the City Lord brought me here just to see what kind of price I can offer."
The City Lord of Wind Demon City blushed slightly, but this old monster who has lived for so long values face the most. It’s always a bit awkward when his thoughts are exposed.
"Ahem," he cleared his throat, "Let’s get back to the point, if our Magic Spirit Clan is willing to let the Magical Extinct Beast step in, what kind of reward can you offer, young brother?"
"Actually, in this place, everyone’s purpose is the same—to get a large amount of Supreme Coins or Supreme Crystals. But I think for the City Lords, Supreme Coins should be about as valuable as trash."
"Indeed," the City Lord of Wind Demon City nodded, "Supreme Coins mean nothing to me. I am the City Lord of a main city of a race, and Supreme Coins are just a number to me. Even if you can offer me more, I won’t be interested."
"I can offer Supreme Crystals," Zhang Menglong extended a hand, "five million Supreme Crystals in exchange for your Magical Extinct Beast’s action, how about it?"
"Five million?!"
The City Lord of Wind Demon City stood up sharply.
As a City Lord, he is naturally rich, but he doesn’t have many Supreme Crystals.
In this place, the only source of Supreme Crystals is killing Warcraft, but only Adventurers killing Warcraft might drop Supreme Crystals, and those in key positions cannot achieve this.
In other words, their only way to get Supreme Crystals is through Adventurers, and a regular Adventurer getting a Supreme Crystal would likely treasure it more than their heirloom. Unless faced with absolute necessity, it’s not possible for them to use or sell it.
The City Lord of Wind Demon City, a figure of his caliber, possesses only 1.2 million Supreme Crystals, even having accumulated them over tens of thousands of years.
An Adventurer having 5 million Supreme Crystals?
Unheard of and unseen!
According to the information he currently has, among the entire Magic Spirit Clan, there are less than a hundred people with over a thousand Supreme Coins, and not a single one has over ten thousand Supreme Crystals!
million Supreme Crystals are enough to change a race!
"Do you really have 5 million Supreme Crystals?" The City Lord of Wind Demon City still couldn’t believe it as he looked at him.
"Haha!"
Zhang Menglong stood up and extended a hand. A large number of Supreme Crystals poured out of his hand with a rush, soon covering the hall with a thick layer.
The City Lord of Wind Demon City was dumbfounded—when had he ever seen so many Supreme Crystals!
"Aren’t you afraid that I might rob all these Supreme Crystals from you?" He swallowed nervously. The saying goes: wealth should not be exposed, but Zhang Menglong seemed to have no such awareness.
"If you rob them, you rob them," Zhang Menglong shrugged, "I don’t care about these things at all, but if the City Lord has such a thought, he’d better make sure he can kill me on the spot. Otherwise, I don’t know what I might do!"
