Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law
Chapter 124 Nottingham, Miles
Chapter 124 Nottingham, Miles
Notting City.
The senior siblings did not go directly to the Spirit Hall here, but instead visited the nearby villages and the city. They wanted to make sure that the people in the Spirit Hall here did not collude with the city lord and soul masters to oppress ordinary people.
The two knew very well that what they saw if they came secretly was different from what they saw if they came openly.
If they had known the news in advance, the purpose of their coming here would have changed from investigation to a formality.
Everything was arranged well, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
However, after learning that the bishop of the Spirit Hall branch in this city was actually Miles, Gu Han was instantly happy.
This is really a coincidence. I didn't expect that Miles was already a small hall master of the Spirit Hall during this period.
Now, it is the day for martial soul awakening, and Gu Han and Bibi Dong have fortunately come to the countryside, a place called Holy Soul Village.
Today, the legendary Soul Saint has long been born, and Old Jack is still Middle-aged Jack, but there is no doubt that Jack is now the village chief here.
The awakening of the martial soul is something that everyone in Douluo Continent is very familiar with, and it is also an important node that determines the fate of people in this world.
In order not to attract attention, Gu Han and Bibi Dong did not dress fancy and were very low-key.
"Eh? Who are you two? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Although the two were dressed very modestly, they were strangers after all, and the villagers could tell at a glance that they were not from the village.
Village chief Jack organized the children to come to the broken pillar in the middle of the village. He was about to tell them about the story of a Soul Saint who appeared in their village decades ago when he happened to see two people who were also there.
Gu Han and Bibi Dong turned around and looked at Village Chief Jack. They smiled politely and said, "Uncle, we are soul masters traveling across the continent. We passed through your place and happened to encounter a martial soul awakening. We wanted to take in the excitement. Please forgive us for disturbing you."
"It's actually the Soul Master!"
Jack looked at the two in surprise, then quickly waved his hand and said, "No, don't bother. It's an honor for our village that you two adults can come to our village. I am the village chief of this village, and I would like to say hello to you two adults on behalf of the villagers."
"Nothing, Uncle Jack, there's no need to be so reserved. You still need to help these children awaken their martial spirits. You don't need to worry about us."
Gu Han's smile was very approachable, making Jack feel no arrogance from the Soul Master.
Bibi Dong also nodded slightly and said, "Uncle Village Chief, don't worry about me and my junior brother. We will just watch from the side and leave soon. You can do whatever you need to do."
"Hey, good."
Jack nodded repeatedly, and then began to tell the children the origin of the broken pillar. When he talked about the Soul Saint, his face was full of pride, as if that Soul Saint was himself.
After finishing his talk, Jack took the group of children to the Wuhun Hall at the entrance of the village.
It is called the Spirit Hall, but it is actually just a spacious wooden house.
The soul master who came this time was not the legendary blind Douluo Su Yuntao, but he was also a great soul master of more than level 20.
Jack smiled apologetically and walked forward to greet him: "Master Soul Master, thank you for your hard work this year."
"Well, but this year is different from the previous ones." Great Soul Master Tong Yun nodded first, then changed the subject and spoke.
"Ah? What's the difference?" Jack asked in confusion.
Tong Yun didn't answer Jack's question immediately. Instead, he walked to the Spirit Hall's door and said, "Everyone, Lord Miles said that he's received a notice from above. Starting this year, every village will need to pay 100 gold soul coins when awakening their spirits. Otherwise, the Spirit Hall will not provide awakening services."
"Wha...what?"
Jack was completely stunned, and so were the other villagers. The children who were going to awaken this year looked at each other in confusion.
Gu Han and Bibi Dong frowned slightly and looked at each other. Gu Han stepped forward and asked, "Brother Zhishi, we have traveled for many years, but we have never heard of the Spirit Hall changing its rules."
"Yes, yes, the Spirit Hall helps everyone in the village awaken their spirits every year, but they never charge a penny. How can they change this so suddenly?"
"Master Soul Master, are you mistaken?"
As soon as Gu Han said this, the villagers started talking about it, and they were all very confused.
You have to know that, that's one hundred gold soul coins. The combined income of everyone in their entire village may not be able to save up that much money in a whole year.
Isn't this just embarrassing?
Is this still the Spirit Hall they know?
Everyone looked at Tong Yun standing in front of the wooden house with eyes that were weathered, simple, doubtful, and even a little hopeful, hoping that this was not true.
Facing the various looks coming his way, Tong Yun shook his head slightly and said, "Sorry, this is what the bishop told me, and I just followed his instructions. The specific details may be the decision of the Spirit Hall's upper echelons."
Gu Han shook his head slightly. There was no new rule at all. It was probably just some trouble made by Miles.
Thinking of this, Gu Han didn't say much. The six yellow, purple and black soul rings under his feet slowly rose, and the Xuanshuang Sword was inserted into the ground in front of him under his control.
"Soul, Soul Emperor!!"
Everyone was stunned, especially Tong Yun, who had some knowledge of spirit masters. He was terrified. What kind of spirit ring configuration was this? You know, the first spirit ring of ordinary spirit masters is basically white. A hundred-year spirit ring can only be hunted by those with good reputations and many friends.
In the eyes of ordinary soul masters, the combination of soul rings is mostly white, yellow, yellow and purple, which is already very good.
The configuration that Gu Han showed now was too scary. It was obvious that he was a big shot.
Seeing that he had calmed the other party, Gu Han spoke calmly: "I am the Inspector of the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall does not have the charging rules you just mentioned. You just need to awaken their spirits. As for the rules, I will go see Miles."
"Yes, yes, I will follow your instructions."
Tong Yun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
Even if Gu Han didn't fabricate the identity of an inspector, Tong Yun would not dare to disobey the request of a Soul Emperor. After all, he was just a high-level worker. He might be a noble Soul Master in front of ordinary people, but in the Soul Master world... So there was no need for him to lose his life for this.
"Thank you so much, sir, for speaking up for us."
Seeing this, Jack walked over cautiously. His respectful attitude made Gu Han sigh in his heart. He inexplicably thought of his grandfather. Before he rose to power, his grandfather also had the same attitude towards soul masters.
Gu Han put away his aura and martial spirit, shook his head slightly and said: "It's nothing, just remember that the Spirit Hall will always awaken your martial spirit for free."
After saying that, Gu Han greeted Bibi Dong and left Shenghun Village under the grateful gaze of the villagers.
"Humph, that fellow Miles is truly audacious. He actually dared to do such a heinous thing and tarnish the reputation of our Spirit Hall!"
Bibi Dong was filled with righteous indignation. Having grown up in the Spirit Hall, she now considered it her own home. Now, a branch hall bishop under the Spirit Hall had actually done something so audacious and presumptuous. It was truly despicable!
"This person is truly daring."
Gu Han nodded slightly, his tone calm.
Bibi Dong turned to Gu Han with doubtful eyes: "Junior brother, are you angry?"
Gu Han smiled slightly, smoothed Bibi Dong's long, smooth hair, and said, "Senior Sister, this matter is certainly hateful, but there is no need for us to waste our emotions on a dying person."
That's right. In Gu Han's opinion, Miles has now touched the bottom line of the Spirit Hall. If any other bishop or elder were to deal with him, this person would definitely die and there would be no possibility of survival.
"Hmm...that makes sense..."
Bibi Dong nodded thoughtfully, feeling that it did make sense.
Although Bibi Dong is more mature now, she still occasionally reveals some cute little expressions inadvertently.
The senior sister and the junior brother came all the way to Notting City. Although it was a small border town, its environment and economy were better than those of Shufeng City where Gu Han was.
Although they are both fourth-tier small cities, there are still gaps.
People are coming and going on the streets, and occasionally you can see a few children gathering together to play and fight on the street.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the distance, breaking the originally calm and peaceful atmosphere.
Gu Han and Bibi Dong looked in the direction of the sound and saw a carriage moving slowly on the street. In front of it were several servants holding whips. They kept waving their whips and whipping the pedestrians who were blocking the road. Wherever they went, there was chaos.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, Master Miles is traveling, everyone get out of the way!!"
The group of people gradually approached and came in front of Bibi Dong and Gu Han.
One of the servants saw that the two men were so bold and dressed in ordinary clothes, so he didn't take them seriously and walked up to them arrogantly.
"Are you deaf or blind? Can't you see Lord Miles' car? Why don't you get out of the way!?"
As he said this, the servant raised his whip and was about to attack.
"stop!"
Just as Gu Han was about to take action, a majestic voice came from the gorgeous sedan chair behind, and then a man in white who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old walked out of it.
At this time, Miles was just a small white cardinal, and his soul power was only level 32.
But with such soul power, he is a rare master in this small border town.
Although there are quite a few soul masters, they are like a pyramid: the higher the level, the fewer people there are.
Although Miles is only a Soul Master, he is enough to dominate a small town.
"grown ups."
The servant immediately stepped aside respectfully and moved to the sides.
Miles's eyes were always on Bibi Dong. Although Bibi Dong was dressed very ordinary, her beauty could be said to be the best of the best. Miles noticed it when he was in the sedan chair, so he called the servant.
Before Miles could even enter, Bibi Dong took the initiative to draw out the Evil Sword. Six soul rings of yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, and black rose up from under her feet. Her eyes were stern as she asked in a cold voice:
"Miles, you're so arrogant. As the White-robed Cardinal of the Spirit Hall, not only do you use your position to privately squeeze the people's money, but now you condone your subordinates to do such oppression of the people. What crime should you be punished for?"
