Chapter 697 The Polite Bone Demon
The Bone Demon was about to speak.
Lin Feng grabbed the Bone Demon's arm and said, "Senior brother, let's go to Ironblood City for a cup of tea first, and then we can talk about it slowly."
I've finished making the weapon I promised to customize for you; it's even better than my senior sister's.
I've been too busy guarding the city lately to deliver it to you.
Now that you're here, you can take it with you.
Lin Feng was so enthusiastic that even the Bone Demon was embarrassed to speak.
Bone Demon led a group of Blood Demon Sect disciples into Ironblood City.
The people of Ironblood City began to worry again when they saw someone coming.
Unfortunately, as the lowest level of the Taixu realm, they have little control over their own destiny.
The people gathered in twos and threes and began to discuss the matter.
"Judging from their clothes, this time it's people from the Blood Demon Sect. Could they be here to borrow people again?"
"During the Great Calamity of the Primordial Era, what else could happen besides this?"
My nephew works for the Chamber of Commerce. I heard that the major sects of Taixu are even struggling to defend medium-sized cities and are in dire need of manpower.
"Our city lord is a disciple of the Blood Demon Sect."
We can't just send them away like we did with Wuji Palace and Xingchen Pavilion.
"I think we'll need to borrow some people this time."
I just don't know how to choose people.
Alas, in the end, he couldn't escape the fate of dying far from home.
One of the villagers, a squad leader, said, "The moment the Blood Demon Sect people entered the city, why did you start to doubt the city lord?"
Who was it that said they would fight the city lord with their eyes closed last time? Have you forgotten so quickly?
We must trust the city lord.
Let's all stop gathering here and go about our business.
"Once the results are in, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely notify everyone."
Many people still believe in Lin Feng, but some are more pessimistic.
Lin Feng invited the Bone Demon and his group into the city lord's mansion. Instead of leaving them waiting in the courtyard, he sent his men to treat them to good wine and food.
Bone Demon and Lin Feng were drinking tea in a reception room.
Bone Demon felt that this matter had to be discussed sooner or later, so he might as well bring it up sooner.
He put down his teacup and said, "Junior Brother Feng, I've come here today..."
Lin Feng interrupted him, saying with a smile, "Senior Brother Bone Demon, you didn't come here specifically to get a weapon, did you? I'll get the weapon for you right away."
Lin Feng left for a quarter of an hour, then returned to the room and handed a box to the Bone Demon.
"Brother Bone Demon, what do you think of this weapon's crafting?"
The Bone Demon took the box, opened it, and his eyes lit up.
Inside the box lay a silver-inlaid demon head sword. The dragon-shaped silver patterns on the sword looked quite imposing, and its appearance was comparable to a work of art.
The Bone Demon picked up the Ghost Head Blade and flicked it lightly.
A buzzing sound came from the Ghost Head Blade.
Bone Demon immediately recognized that this knife was not made of ordinary iron; it must contain precious materials such as meteorite iron from outer space, making it more than capable of hunting high-level demons.
The Bone Demon felt a sense of gratitude. "Junior Brother, you are very kind. This knife suits my taste perfectly."
"I'm glad you like it, senior brother."
The Bone Demon sheathed his steel sword and continued, "Senior brother, my purpose in coming here is not for this, but for something else."
Lin Feng poured Bone Demon a cup of tea. "Just say what you need to say, Senior Brother. Don't be so pleading."
Lin Feng has already interrupted twice; he can't interrupt again.
Moreover, interrupting twice is enough. There's a proper way to speak: one should strike while the iron is hot, then the momentum wanes, and finally, one's energy is depleted.
When the Bone Demon made further demands, it lost its momentum.
The Bone Demon said, "The Great Tribulation of the Primordial Chaos has also been quite difficult for our Blood Demon Sect."
The sect abandoned all the outer cities, suffering heavy losses.
Now, even the medium-sized cities of the sect are experiencing a shortage of personnel.
My senior brother wants to borrow some people from you.
If possible, you'd better abandon Ironblood City and bring everyone to Bloodmist City.
If you manage to defend Blood Mist City, your senior brother will grant you one-third of the city's rights.
how do you feel? "
Lin Feng said with a troubled expression, "Senior brother, to be honest..."
A while ago, Wuji Palace and Xingchen Pavilion also came to me to borrow people.
It was a very unpleasant situation, and I even killed two of their elders.
The reason why Ironblood City has been able to stand until now is entirely because the people of the city are united as one.
I united everyone in Ironblood City as one, and that's how I managed to defend Ironblood City.
Moreover, the black mist of the Demon Hunter Wilderness might spread and cover Ironblood City, which would be the most difficult time for Ironblood City.
If I lend people to my senior brother, the morale of the Ironblood City will collapse, and the city will fall.
The Bone Demon said, "Then why don't you abandon Ironblood City and bring everyone to Bloodmist City?"
I have relocated all the people from Ironblood City to Bloodmist City.
They were given houses for free.
"Junior brother, you'll also gain access to Blood Mist City's rights. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Lin Feng could tell that his senior brother, Bone Demon, had come with sincerity and was not trying to seize by trickery or force.
Even so, Lin Feng would not give up Ironblood City.
Lin Feng walked to the window, looked at Ironblood City outside, sighed and said, "Senior brother, when I was still an ordinary Grandmaster, I started fighting for Ironblood City."
I spent countless efforts to conquer this Ironblood City, how could I possibly give it up willingly?
Besides, I have sworn to all the people of the city that I will never abandon Ironblood City.
Bone Demon frowned. Since his junior brother had already made such a vow, it would be unreasonable for him to insist.
It seems I'm going to have to return empty-handed this time.
The Bone Demon stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't say any more, I'll take my leave now."
Blood Mist City desperately needs manpower; I must quickly lead these men back to defend the city.
Lin Feng thought to himself, "Look how polite my senior brother is."
Knowing he was in a difficult position, he didn't say much and went straight back to defend the city.
These people of the demonic path are far more reasonable than those self-proclaimed righteous individuals from the Star Pavilion and the Boundless Palace.
Of course, this is also based on the premise that one possesses formidable strength.
When the strength is unequal, no one will reason with you.
The Bone Demon started to walk out.
Lin Feng grabbed him, "Senior brother, wait a moment."
The Bone Demon turned around and asked, "Is there anything else, Junior Brother?"
Lin Feng pushed the Bone Demon to sit down at the table.
"Although I cannot provide manpower, I can provide a batch of weapons and magic crystals."
The Bone Demon's eyes lit up. "Junior brother, do you have any extra weapons?"
Lin Feng refilled the Bone Demon's teacup and said with a smile, "Junior brother, I have spared no effort in protecting this Ironblood City."
Even before I obtained Ironblood City, I was already preparing for the Innate Tribulation.
The iron mines and blacksmith shops under my command have been constantly forging weapons.
A while ago, a merchant guild came to Ironblood City to sell weapons. Do you remember, senior brother?
The Bone Demon nodded. "That's true."
Those weapons solved Ironblood City's immediate crisis.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "That batch of weapons was sold to the Chamber of Commerce by me."
I gave them a portion of the profits, forcing them to sell at a low price to the Blood Demon Sect first.
“Oh, I see.
I was wondering why the Chamber of Commerce was selling weapons to the Blood Demon Sect.
My junior brother has a better perspective.
It seems that Junior Brother still cherishes our Blood Demon Sect.
"Back then, I was short of magic crystals, otherwise I would have given them away to the sect for free."
During this time, Ironblood City has killed quite a few demons, and I, your junior brother, am now financially well-off.
I have a batch of unused weapons that I plan to donate to the sect for free.
The Bone Demon asked somewhat anxiously, "Junior Brother, how many weapons are there in this batch?"
