Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 87: Soul Bone Trouble (Part )

"Have you heard? The deputy city lord's daughter obtained a soul bone when she was helping a few children hunt soul beasts."

"What? Soul bone!"

"Shh - keep your voice down. I'm telling you, it's a head soul bone, which is second only to the torso bone in value!"

"Only at the hundred-year level..."

"What do you know? A century-level head soul bone is also priceless, and the price is at least 500,000 gold soul coins!"

"I heard that the mayor and deputy mayor will hold an auction in the square in the center of Notting City in three days!"

"Soul bones, such a precious thing, you don't absorb it yourself, but you want to auction it off?"

"The news is flying everywhere. This hot potato must be thrown away..."

As soon as he left Notting College and arrived in the downtown area, he heard a lot of people discussing soul bones on the street. Zhou Qing also truly understood how much trouble the soul bones would cause once they were exposed.

Especially in a small town like Nottingham, the problem is even more serious.

Accompanying Xiao Wu to the blacksmith shop——

The blacksmith shop in Nottingham was built on the bank of a river about eight meters long that ran from outside the city to inside the city.

One of the branches of this river is the stream that flows near the Holy Soul Village.

"Tang San, Xiao Wu asked me to persuade you to go on a date with her." Zhou Qing found Tang San who was forging with the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique, and opened his mouth. As soon as he finished speaking, he was punched on the right cheek by Xiao Wu.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, her cheeks slightly red, not knowing whether she was embarrassed or angry.

But how could Zhou Qing admit his mistake?
Moreover, he was also a feminist, and he immediately grabbed the corner of Xiao Wu's mouth, pulling it hard, making all kinds of funny faces, and said to Tang San: "Xiao San, come out and help me, this little bastard is going to bite people!"

Xiao Wu was not to be outdone, she grabbed Zhou Qing's face hard and inserted her fingers into his nostrils, pushing upwards.

"Today I will let you know what it means when a rabbit is cornered it will jump over the wall!"

"That's a dog, not a rabbit."

Tang San covered his eyes and lowered his head, really wanting to pretend that he didn't know the two little brats, but when the blacksmiths in the smithy saw this scene, they burst into laughter.

One of the blacksmiths even came over, pushed Tang San's shoulder, handed him the wages, and said: "You have exceeded the forging quota today, so go and play with them."

"Thank you, boss." Tang San took the money, but still forged the last piece of iron before leaving the blacksmith shop.

At this moment, Zhou Qing and Xiao Wu immediately separated and straightened their clothes, as if nothing had happened just now.

"What do you want from me?" Tang San asked speechlessly.

"It's mainly because Xiao Wu wants to find you..." Seeing Xiao Wu narrow her eyes, Zhou Qing immediately changed his words, "She wants us to go to the Notting Guild together to take on a mission and earn some gold soul coins. This girl spends money lavishly, especially on clothes. She's almost converted half of the space in Dormitory 7 into a wardrobe."

Tang San was also aware of Xiao Wu's "generosity" in spending money. If it weren't for the flesh worms in Romantina's body... bah, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said it would protect him, Zhou Qing, Xiao Wu and Romantina herself. The four of them were already a team. He was actually not very willing to go to the guild to take on missions.

After all, there are very few tasks on the Notting Guild's task bar today to help soul soldiers and soul masters hunt soul beasts, so combat experience is difficult to improve.

For this reason, it is better to practice forging and engraving soul guide inscriptions in the blacksmith shop to prepare for dealing with stronger and possibly hostile soul masters in the future. "Just think of it as a way to relax and combine work and rest."

Zhou Qing also saw what Tang San was thinking, hooked his neck, and went to the Notting Guild with Xiao Wu, "The food in the guild is much better than that in the junior college."

This is true.

Moreover, Zhou Qing did not expect that after arriving in another world, "the food in school is worse than that outside" is also a universal rule.

"It's really delicious, but also expensive." Xiao Wu really likes the fruit wine from the Notting Guild. During the last mission, most of the gold soul coins she earned from the Notting Guild were spent on purchasing the guild's fruit wine, and she stored a large box of it in Dormitory 7.

"You get what you pay for. If you have no money, you can only complete missions." Zhou Qing laughed.

"Didn't you earn 500,000 gold soul coins? Can you lend me some?" Xiao Wu came close to Zhou Qing, her face flushed and her voice softer.

"This is your ultimate goal, right? But I won't lend it to you." Zhou Qing turned his head away. "If you want to learn from Miss Alice in the guild, you have to grow up first. You look so ordinary, which makes it difficult for me."

Tang San opened his mouth, thinking that Zhou Qing might have become a bad person after spending too long with Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu puffed up her cheeks, her entire face red with anger, and cursed: "Just wait and see, I will definitely be bigger than anyone else in the future!"

Snapped!
Tang San held his forehead with his hand, suspecting that if he stayed with this person for a long time, he would probably become so "sincere"... Could he really say these words in public?

[We are all children, it’s okay...]

However, after being with Zhou Qing for a long time, Tang San immediately thought of a reason, and his heart was relieved a lot because of it - perhaps, this is childhood and youth?

Come to the Nottingham Guild.

Xiao Wu took the two of them straight to the task column to check the tasks.

"Looking for the lost kitten..."

"Cleaning up the river in the south of Nottingham..."

"Serving as a sparring partner for the city lord's son Xiao Chenyu—"

Seeing this task, Xiao Wu paused for a moment and said unhappily, "That annoying wolf cub actually wants to find a soul master to practice with. Doesn't he have one at home?"

"Soul masters are a minority after all. The two guards at the entrance of the Spirit Hall have only soul masters' soul power level, without even a soul ring, not to mention the Lord of Notting City and his family." Tang San was not surprised. "Do you want to take on this mission?"

"It annoys me to see that face."

Xiao Wu became furious when she thought about the little wolfdog saying he wanted her to be his pet. If she really accepted this task, she would probably teach Xiao Chenyu a lesson afterwards... If she beat him up, she would feel bad - she would feel bad for her money.

"How about this mission?" Zhou Qing pointed to a mission paper with the words "Guard the auction venue" marked on it.

Unlike other task papers, this one has twenty blank fingernail-sized circles at the bottom, thirteen of which are marked with red “√”.

"Three days later, a soul bone auction will be held in the center of Notting City. Soul masters are needed to guard it..." Xiao Wu read it out, and finally, her eyes fell on the reward. "During the auction, other items will also be auctioned. The auction will last for two hours. The reward: one soul master, one hour, and one hundred gold soul coins!"
