C287 Great Sticks and Sweet Dates(3)
The following matters were much easier to handle. Qingtian carefully explained his plan and plan to Bryan. After getting a positive answer, he immediately embarked on a new journey with Gordon and headed straight to the next city.
"Now, the only small city that has nothing to do with the other major powers is left. This was the place that all three major powers wanted to fight for, because he was located at the center of the intersection of these three major powers. It is because all three factions have scruples and do not dare to send out their full forces. They were afraid that once they made a move, they would cause the other two major powers to stop them, which also resulted in that they had never received any invasion before. Although they live in fear every day, it is the safest place." Gordon kept muttering to Tian Tian about the situation there.
"This is a good place. It is related to the interests of the three major powers. If we can win it over, it will be much easier for us to get married in the future." Moreover, his plan would also have a relative change. In just a short while, qingtian thought of an even more vicious method.
"Do you know the city lord there?" He subconsciously asked Gordon, who shook his head as if he was not familiar with him.
"That's easy. I must fight for this power. No matter what! Even if I have to use a special method, I won't hesitate to do so. Even if I want to turn its city lord into an obedient puppet, I want to get there. " Tiangtian clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes flickered. It was as if he had discovered a new continent.
Very quickly, the next day, they flew there. It was a Level 5 city called Oglin. This place was clearly much better than Gordon and Bryan's territory. There were no traces of Devil Beast attacks on the high city walls. It was no wonder that this place was located in the center of the three forces. Since the attack of the Devil Beast was blocked by them outside the door, there was naturally nothing to worry about here.
"If I obtain this place, then I can control the three major powers in the surrounding. It might even cause them to fall into internal strife. When the time comes, I'll take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and perhaps really unify the continent. " Atlas thought of a beautiful future as he walked into the city with Gordon, one in front and one behind.
This city was much more prosperous than they had imagined. In Atlas's impression, except for Unfalling City, he had never seen such a lively place. Their objective was clear. They walked towards the City Lord's Mansion. After Gordon revealed his identity, the guards naturally let them pass. Two of them were led by one of the guards to the living room. "This city lord is called Tao. Of course, everyone calls him by his nickname." Gordon lowered his voice and whispered to Qingtian to ensure that the city council would not be able to hear him.
" Oh? What nickname?" Atlas did not understand. This was the first time he had met someone with a nickname that was even more famous than his real name.
" He has two nicknames. One is called Old Bull, because this person is very stubborn. Once he decided on something, he would do it like a cow. Unless he understands, no one will be able to pull him back. " Gordon said in a serious manner.
"Ha, interesting. It seemed like it would be very difficult to change his mind. This way, his first impression would be very important. However, I am handsome and handsome, with a heroic aura. I believe that this fellow will be subdued by that domineering aura of a king when he sees me. Right, what about the other nickname? " Qingtian asked after being narcissistic for a long time.
"The other nickname is Ghost, and some people call him Old Ghost." Gordon's words almost made Qingtian laugh out loud. "What? Could it be that this guy looks so bad to the people and looks like a ghost?" "Of course not. This nickname means that this guy is very cunning. He has a lot of evil ideas, and it always allows him to obtain the greatest benefits." After saying that, he gestured with his mouth like he was trying to say... A certain person beside him seemed to be in the same state.
"Old cow, old ghost! Haha, a cunning and stubborn person. What exactly does he look like?" Just as he was thinking, the guard had already brought the two of them into the living room. "Please wait a moment, the city lord will be here soon." As he spoke, the guard turned around and walked out.
Looking at this room, the feeling that the Sky High Tower gave was that it was luxurious. "I really didn't know that a mere City Lord could decorate his residence in such a manner. It seems that this fellow's life isn't bad. However, these are going to be mine soon."
Not long later, a person walked out from within. A fat man, similar to the Turu that Qingtian knew. However, this man seemed to be fatter. But it could be seen that this was a martial arts practitioner, even though he was very fat. He did not have to exert any effort to walk. Every step he took was steady. There was a smiling expression on his face, as if he had never changed. Seeing his appearance reminded Tian Qingtian of Lu Yuan. This old man usually wore a smiling expression on his face. However, Lu Yuan was more of a calm and composed person. The fat man in front of him had a very crafty smile on his face. He looked very uncomfortable.
Although Tao didn't have a very deep relationship with Gordon, they still greeted each other for quite a while when they first met. If he didn't understand them, he would find that the two of them were like old friends. It could be seen how cunning this guy was. Qingtian pretended to be Gordon's subordinate and watched the two of them speak.
"Hehe, I wonder why brother Gordon came all the way here for? You also know that the situation here is rather special. There are three big guys staring at me. But I don't think you came here just to talk to me. " The old ghost was very smart. He had nothing to do with Gordon. This man must have a request for him.
"Of course. I think Brother Tao should know about what happened in Unfalling City recently, right?" Gordon probed him first. "Oh, I have heard of it. A few elders had died, and the patriarch had changed. I heard that it was the champion of this year's Rookie Competition, and it was recommended by the previous Clan Head himself. Sigh, now there are more and more mysterious young people. " Fatty Tao didn't know why Gordon mentioned this matter, but he still sighed with emotion.
"Although this new patriarch is very young, he has great talent and great strategies. He seems to have the attitude of surpassing the previous patriarch." Gordon knew that he couldn't tell Gordon everything in one step, so he guided him bit by bit.
"Is that so? That's true. Compared to this child's age, he was much younger than the patriarch at that time. However, it is impossible to reach that level. You should have noticed the current situation. No matter who became the clan head, they would not be able to unify the clan. They've been separated for too long. The hearts of the people have dispersed. " Fatty had a pained expression on his face, as if he was truly worried about the clan.
"Brother, there's no need to be like this. Now is a good opportunity. You also know that Lord Patriarch came from my territory. He is currently contacting some small forces. Are you interested in eliminating those few fellows who split up?" Gordon finally stated his intention, but he did not expect that he would be strongly opposed by the fat man.
"Hahahaha! Are you talking about me? What does that brat want to unify the continent have to do with me? Although I am the weakest in the vicinity, look who dares to touch me among the three of them? As long as someone notices me, a war is imminent. Under their protection, I can't even encounter the Devil Beast sieging the city. Although this place isn't too big of a force... It's true that Unfalling City is the most prosperous city in the entire continent. You want me to follow that wet behind the ears kid and unify the continent? What a joke! " Fatty was telling the truth. Ogrin was indeed the most prosperous city besides the Unfalling City. This was because the entire continent was almost under the attack of the Devil Beast. Only this place was the safest. Therefore, many merchants' headquarters were set up here, and even more people had moved in through various means. The three powers by the side were staring at each other covetously. How could they have the time to care about the development of this place? Even if it stood up, it would not pose any threat to him.
Seeing the determination of the fatty and the fact that he had long heard of his character, Gordon really didn't know what to do. "In other words, you won't follow the patriarch no matter what you say. Instead, you want to maintain the current situation."
"Of course. Eh! " Before he could finish his words, his arm had already pierced into his chest.
