King of the Fairy City
Volume 1: Trapped on an Island Chapter 71: Offending the City Lord
When Ye Mo heard that City Master Zou wanted to buy all the slaves, he suddenly understood.
There was a smuggler at the dock who bought hundreds of "captive slaves" from the pirate ship from him before. Could it be that the smuggler's backend was the Lord Zou of Donglai Fairy City!
"Lord City Lord, these people captured by Feng Xiongchang are all registered civilians from various countries in the Kyushu Continent. They are not slaves such as prisoners of war or criminals. According to the laws of various continental countries, civilians are not allowed to be sold as slaves."
Ye Mo said.
"What? You don't want gold and silver? Or the coral trees and clam pearls on the seabed. These rare treasures from the East China Sea are priceless treasures when they are brought to the mainland. If you complete this transaction, you will be rich."
Seeing that Ye Mo didn't agree or even offer the asking price, Zou Ruhai frowned and said again.
"Lord City Lord, I'm sorry, but those civilians are not my prisoners and will not be sold!"
Ye Mo was silent for a while and then said. Not long ago, he himself was a commoner in the Wu Kingdom. He couldn't do anything like human trafficking.
"Oh! I forgot that you are already an immortal cultivator, so naturally you don't like these worldly treasures. You don't want to trade these slaves for spiritual stones, or elixirs, magic weapons, etc.? This appetite is too big!"
Zou Ruhai's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he couldn't help but sneer, "You have just stepped into the ranks of immortal cultivators, and maybe you are not clear about the rules of the immortal cultivator world. Slaves and other worldly things can only be exchanged for worldly gold and silver treasures.
The spiritual objects used by monks cannot be exchanged for secular objects. This is a rule in the world of immortality, a common practice in all fairy villages, not a rule in my Donglai fairy village. Even if you find chambers of commerce and mine owners in other fairy villages, and they are willing to take over these slaves, the price they offer will only be gold, silver and jewelry, not spiritual stones! "
"I'm sorry, Lord City Lord! I can't trade with you. I have released those civilians. They are all free. They can stay as they please. I have no control over them!"
Ye Mo knew that answering like this would offend the city lord, but he still said it.
"What, you freed all the slaves on the ship?"
Zou Ruhai's expression suddenly changed slightly.
Many pirates pretend to be sea merchants, swindle in various countries under the guise, and sell warriors to the island fairy villages to work as mining slaves. He had seen many pirate ships selling slaves, and he also bought many warrior slaves to mine in the mines on Lingdao.
But it was unheard of for Ye Mo to free all the hundreds of slaves in a ship.
If Ye Mo just thought the price was too low and didn't want to sell it, he could negotiate the price and everything would be easy to negotiate.
But Ye Mo's answer was completely beyond his expectation.
Zou Ruhai's face suddenly darkened.
"Hmph! Since you don't sell slaves, why do you come to this city lord? There's nothing more to say, and I won't embarrass you. Okay, let's see you off!"
Zou Ruhai glanced at Ye Mo displeasedly and waved to the boy in green next to him.
Ye Mo is an immortal cultivator, and he is a casual cultivator passing through this immortal village. He can come and go freely without being ordered by the city lord. Ye Mo is unwilling to trade slaves, and he, the Lord of Donglai City, cannot forcefully order Ye Mo.
What about the nautical charts for ships entering and exiting the foggy area of East Laing Island?
Ye Mo was stunned, and just as he was about to ask, Zou Ruhai had already stood up, flung his sleeves and left the study.
"Let's go, don't disturb the city lord's rest!"
The boy in green reminded him in a low voice.
Ye Mo was originally a person with strong self-esteem, and he could see that the Lord Zou Ruhai was not planning to give him the foggy navigation map for entering and exiting the Spirit Island.
Once his ship leaves Donglailing Island, it will be extremely difficult to re-enter.
However, he couldn't do what he asked for.
What's more, even if you open your mouth, you may not get good results. His refusal to trade slaves just now had offended the city lord.
Ye Mo endured his anger and exited the study.
"I'll send you out to prevent you from wandering into the house!"
The boy in green looked at Ye Mo with a strange look, led Ye Mo outside the city lord's mansion, and said, "I don't know what you think, but you made me angry! If you can please the city lord, maybe you can also There are many benefits to becoming an official resident of Donglaixian Village.
But now it seems there is no hope. Although casual cultivators can freely enter and leave the fairy village, they lose many benefits. You go back and think about it again. If you change your mind, you can come to me and inform the Lord of the City. "
Ye Mo was also helpless. He didn't mean to offend the city lord.
However, if he had to do it all over again, I'm afraid his answer would still be the same. He couldn't do anything like trafficking civilians.
After leaving the gate, Ye Mo looked back at the majestic City Lord's Mansion and clenched his fists tightly.
You must find a way to become the city lord and the cultivator of immortality. The city lord has overwhelming power in this spiritual island. If you can't become the city lord, you will be controlled by others everywhere.
After taking a deep breath, Ye Mo regained his composure.
He was about to go to Donglaixian Village to look around, but turned around and saw a group of warriors such as Mo Ling and Gao Jian looking at him from a distance.
Ye Mo immediately walked towards them.
"Brother Ye, after meeting the city lord, can the city lord give you the navigation map of the foggy area?"
Mo Ling asked with concern.
Ye Mo went to the City Lord's Mansion, and everyone else also entered the Fairy Village. However, Mo Ling insisted on waiting outside the City Lord's Mansion.
Gao Jian, Huang Yi, Li Ruofeng, Wang Hu, Yang You and others also followed.
"City Master Zou asked me to sell him all the 'captured slaves' on the ship, but I didn't agree. He didn't give us the navigation chart. It seems he doesn't welcome us very much!"
Ye Mo shook his head.
"In this case, once our ship leaves Spirit Island, it will not be able to enter. There are many reefs in the foggy area of Spirit Island, and the fog is unpredictable. Without a fog navigation chart, it is impossible to enter."
Vice Captain Chang suddenly said bitterly.
Everyone was dumbfounded. They were also warriors and were once captured slaves of Captain Feng. Although Ye Mo was unlikely to sell the slaves even if he planned to sell them, they still felt frightened.
"The status of warriors in Donglaixian Village is so low?"
Lin Zhi's eyes were extremely complicated. She had some respect for Ye Mo, but also felt pity for him.
The Lord of Donglai City is the most powerful monk in this fairy village. Ye Mo actually gave up the opportunity to make friends with the Lord of Donglai City because of an unrelated prisoner.
"Stop thinking about these troublesome things! At least we have arrived at Donglaixian Village, which is countless times better than wandering aimlessly on the sea before. The city lord has not driven us away, so we will stay here in Donglaixian Village for now. Come on, let’s go take a look. There are many shops and spiritual objects on the street over there!”
Mo Ling suddenly smiled.
"That's right, let's go to Fairy Village and look around first. We still don't know what's going on in Fairy Village!"
"Finally we have arrived at the legendary Fairy Village. This time we are going to have an eye-opening experience."
Everyone laughed.
Vice Captain Chang hesitated to speak beside him. It was not easy for civilian warriors to stay in this fairy village. But he didn't want to get into trouble with Ye Mo again at this time, so he had to follow behind.
After walking a few dozen feet outside the city lord's palace, everyone came to a quite bustling street. There were a large number of Lingge shops on both sides of the street, one next to the other.
"Zhang's spiritual elixir shop, Yang's spiritual weapon shop, magic shop, grocery store, spiritual valley shop, spiritual beast pavilion... there are so many, these are all things used by the immortals."
Wang Hu stretched his neck and looked around at the signboards of these shops, amazed.
"Well, this street, which is dozens of feet long, is full of shops like this. Let's go and take a look."
"Look, this shop is full of vitality pills! With just one vitality pill, I can break through the ninth level of body refining, cultivate the soul, transcend the ordinary world in one fell swoop, and become an immortal cultivator!"
