Dragon's Origin

Chapter 87: Acting on One's Own Initiative (Part 2)

The tusk in my hand is not the tusk of a Razorback Boar. The Razorback Boar's tusks are curved, with a large arc, and relatively thick. But this one in my hand is thin and straight, and its shape is completely different.

In addition, everyone judges that Wang Sheng at most killed a fifth-level demon beast, so this tooth is at most a fifth-level demon beast's tusk. However, as soon as the appraiser took it, he realized that things might not be that simple.

A fifth-level demon beast cannot have such an aura. The appraiser has been in Worry-Free City for many years, and he has seen countless items from fourth and fifth-level demon beasts. He knows what kind of aura a demon beast of each level has, and this aura is wrong.

At this moment, the appraiser didn't dare to say anything more. He took the tusk and looked at it carefully for a long time, with a blank expression, saying nothing. He just took another tusk from the staff and looked at it carefully again.

From the beginning to the end, the appraiser kept his mouth shut and said nothing. The expression on his face was as stiff as if someone had died, gloomy, as if he was very unhappy.

"What kind of rubbish is this? Daring to come to Worry-Free City to swindle with two random things?" Although a storm had already risen in his heart, the appraiser didn't show it on his face, but still said with that contemptuous emphasis: "Not enough, far from enough!"

That's what he said, but his hands were holding one tusk each, and the veins on his hands were showing. There were no fools present, and everyone was a killer who observed the enemy's weaknesses and attacked when they were unprepared. How could they not see this kind of small action?

But no one said anything, this was just a means of control. This guy is from the City Lord's Mansion, could it be that the City Lord wants to knock Wang Sheng down a peg?

In Worry-Free City, you can ignore any aristocratic family or royal family, but you cannot disobey the City Lord's will. Otherwise, without any means, just expelling you from Worry-Free City is enough, and there are plenty of people outside who want your head.

Most people would endure this kind of situation. What else can you do if you don't endure it? Confront the City Lord? That's just wishing for a quicker death.

Seeing that the appraiser was determined to stand out and suppress Wang Sheng, even the fatty who had just reminded Wang Sheng quietly moved back a little, staying a little further away from Wang Sheng. No one else wanted to stand up to help, and they were all watching to see how Wang Sheng, this man of the hour in the past two days, would respond.

"Not enough?" Wang Sheng seemed not to have expected this result, but he didn't immediately explode. He just reached out and said, "Then I took the wrong one, come, give it to me, I'll exchange it for something more valuable."

He reached out to take back the two tusks from the appraiser's hands. Everyone heard what Wang Sheng meant, and he didn't mean to fall out with the City Lord. If it's not enough, just exchange it for something more valuable, that's too normal, isn't it? You could even say that Wang Sheng lowered his head, saying that if it's not enough, I'll exchange it for something more valuable, his attitude couldn't be better.

However, the appraiser was holding onto the two tusks tightly, not wanting to let go. In fact, he regretted it after saying that it wasn't enough. At this moment, he didn't know whether he should curse himself for being stupid or slap himself twice. How could he have been so blinded by greed to make such a move?

It's true that there are rumors in the City Lord's Mansion that Wang Sheng entered Worry-Free City from the Thousand Mile Forbidden Zone, triggering the highest alert, and it would be false to say that those experts who interrupted their cultivation to rush out had no complaints. However, rumors are just rumors, and no one has heard the City Lord personally say that he wants to suppress Wang Sheng.

If the things in his hand were just the tusks of a fifth-level Razorback Boar, then it wouldn't be a big problem. A fifth-level demon beast is still vastly different from a fifth-level human expert. With the strength of a fifth-level human, plus human intelligence, that's the most terrifying thing.

But the problem is, these two tusks are not from a fifth-level demon beast, but from a sixth-level demon beast. If the appraiser guessed correctly, they are the teeth of a Six-Star Nightstar Wolf, a sixth-level demon beast!

Wang Sheng can take out the teeth of a sixth-level Nightstar Wolf, what does that mean? It means that Wang Sheng may not have walked around the edge of the Thousand Mile Forbidden Zone, but came directly through the core area.

If the City Lord knew about this, even if he hadn't personally said that he wanted to suppress Wang Sheng, even if he had personally said it, he would definitely kill everyone who heard these words, and then tell Wang Sheng that it was his subordinates acting on their own initiative, and then personally apologize to Wang Sheng to win him over.

Everything was completely the appraiser's own idea, completely because the appraiser himself was unbalanced and wanted to suppress Wang Sheng as he did with other people, but the deadly thing was that he forgot the difference between Wang Sheng and other people who escaped into Worry-Free City. Others escaped into Worry-Free City from all directions, while Wang Sheng entered Worry-Free City from the Thousand Mile Forbidden Zone. The difference between these two is like heaven and earth.

Two Nightstar Wolf's tusks can already explain a lot of problems, but what did Wang Sheng just say? He can take out something more valuable. What would the situation be if he took out something more valuable than the tusks of a Six-Star Nightstar Wolf?

The appraiser's head has already lowered, no longer looking down on people with his nostrils, and he even has to raise his eyes to look at Wang Sheng at this moment. His hands holding the tusks have begun to tremble, and he has begun to sweat on his body and head.

Wang Sheng's hand is still reaching out, and everyone's eyes are staring at the appraiser, watching his reaction. In front of everyone, the appraiser doesn't dare to do anything small, like swapping the tusks, he can only remain silent.

After a long while, the appraiser felt that he couldn't continue to be silent like this, and he had to respond no matter what. Thinking of this, the appraiser pursed his lips and said with a slightly apologetic tone: "Honored guest, please wait, maybe I'm old and my eyes are dim and I saw it wrong, please allow me to take another look, take another look!"

"No need!" A gentle voice sounded from the side, but it was the steward of the City Lord's Mansion who appeared here at some point. He had seen this person when Wang Sheng entered the city yesterday. At this moment, the steward was nodding and smiling at Wang Sheng, and at the same time, his hand reached out to the appraiser.

When the appraiser heard this voice, he raised his head with an incredible expression and saw the City Lord's Mansion's steward smiling at Wang Sheng. He couldn't help but feel a darkness in front of his eyes, it's over!

Trembling, he sent the tusks in his hands to the steward's hand, and then the appraiser heard the voice of the City Lord's Mansion's steward: "Your appraisal and valuation level is still lacking, go back and study hard for another two years!"

One sentence almost made the appraiser burst into tears of gratitude. He was only punished to go back and study, not killed, which was simply great news!

In a daze, the appraiser only heard the steward's gentle voice: "The tusks of a Six-Star Nightstar Wolf, the two are worth 50,000 gold coins, is this price acceptable to you, honored guest?"
