A King Summoner Travels Through the World of Ye Luoli

"Sister Lu, we can't go any further. There are patrols ahead, and ordinary people are not allowed to get close."

When they were still 800 meters away from the city lord's mansion, Xiao Qi grabbed Lu Zhaoran.

"Is there any way to get in?"

Lu Zhaoran looked at the city lord's mansion and asked.

The city lord's mansion was built in an extremely magnificent manner. Spirits and humans patrolled the surrounding area, and a river surrounded it, separating the mansion from the adjacent land. There was no bridge over the river, presumably because the owner of the mansion did not need a bridge to cross it.

"There's a way, Sister Lu, you can sign up to be a guest elder, that way you can get in."

How do I register?

"You need connections to do this. Usually, it's through family connections. Of course, someone as rich as Sister Lu can just use money to build connections."

However, we can't go now; we have to wait three months. After we find connections, we'll have to go through various selection processes..."

……

After listening to Xiao Qi's long explanation, Lu Zhaoran gave up on this method.

She can't wait that long.

"Is there any other way? I want to get in right now."

"Ah...now...I have a risky plan, but I don't know if I should say it."

"explain."

"Ahem, well, this is the city lord, right? He's a lecherous man who doesn't discriminate between men and women. There are plenty of cases in Yue Lin City where the city lord forcibly takes women and men. If Sister Lu wants to go in..."

Xiao Qi glanced at Lu Zhaoran a few times and then looked at Xingchen.

"If you two want to go in, there won't be any problem."

"You're asking for it! What kind of terrible idea is this?!"

As soon as Xiao Qi finished speaking, Xing Chen pounced on him and grabbed his neck.

"Save...Save..."

Xingchen has a strong grip. Although she is smaller than Xiaoqi, who is the same age, Xiaoqi is like a chick caught by a cat in her hands.

"Star, let him go."

Seeing that Xiao Qi was being pinched so hard that her eyes were rolling back, Lu Zhaoran quickly stopped Xingchen.

"Xiao Qi, how do we get arrested?"

"Sister! No!"

Upon hearing this, Xingchen knew that Lu Zhaoran had designs on him.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Lu Zhaoran absolutely had to go on this trip, not only to gather information, but also because she... wanted to absorb some of the fairy's essence.

Since she developed this method, she has only absorbed the power of spirits and monsters and has not yet tried absorbing the power of elves or fairies. She had not made up her mind before, but after listening to Xiao Qi's words, she felt that now there was a ready-made solution, so of course she would not let it go.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!!!"

“Sister Lu, if you want to get in using this method, the first way is to meet with the city lord, but this way is naturally more difficult. The second way is... the city lord has a bunch of people under him who want to curry favor with him. If you hang around in front of them, they will naturally find a way to get you in.”

Xiaoqi coughed several times before finally recovering.

"Okay, then you know a few people like that. Go find them now."

"Sister Lu is definitely out of the question right now. If we go directly there, we'll definitely be driven away by their guards. Let me find out their schedule first before we go. That way, we'll have a better chance of running into them."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, Lu Zhaoran felt that what he said made sense. Moreover, along the way, Lu Zhaoran found that this independent young man was indeed very reliable, except that he ate a lot.

----

"Ah...it's so good to be with Sister Lu!"

After leaving the outer perimeter of the city lord's mansion, Lu Zhaoran and his two companions found an inn to stay at, intending to wait for Xiao Qi to make arrangements before taking any further action.

At this moment, Xiaoqi rolled around on the bed several times.

This is so comfortable; the most expensive room is definitely different.

Lu Zhaoran booked two rooms. Xiao Qi had a single room, while she and Xingchen shared a double room. They all chose the most expensive rooms.

…………

It was already quite late, so after washing up, Lu Zhaoran lay down on the bed, ready to go to sleep.

"Dong dong dong."

"Who?"

There was a knock at the door, and Xingchen got up to ask who it was.

"Hey, gentlemen, I'm here to deliver your late-night snack."

Upon hearing this, Xingchen opened the door, confirming that they did indeed offer late-night snacks.

Xingchen opened the door and took the tray from the man's hand.

"Does your sister want a midnight snack?"

Lu Zhaoran got up and looked at the table. There were two bowls of sweet porridge, two flatbreads, and a plate of roasted meat on it.

"Eat some."

Lu Zhaoran found the food appetizing, so he sat down and ate with Xingchen.

……

"Bang!!!"

"Tom!"

……

Why is it so noisy downstairs?

Lu Zhaoran frowned when he heard the noise coming from downstairs. Why was it so noisy in the middle of the night?

"Sister, I'm going out to take a look."

Xingchen opened the door and ran out to check.

…………

"Sister Lu! Sister Lu!"

Soon after, Xingchen returned, accompanied by Xiaoqi, who lived next door.

"what happened?"

Seeing that the two of them looked rather unwell, alarm bells went off in Lu Zhaoran's mind.

Could it be that what she did in the desert has been discovered?

It's strange, there's no communication equipment here, how can messages travel so fast?

"Sister Lu, cough cough!! Something terrible has happened!"

"Slow down, speak slowly!"

Lu Zhaoran patted Xiao Qi on the back, signaling him to slow down.

"I went down to investigate just now and found that the people who came were soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion. They were looking for someone with a portrait. I secretly glanced at it and found that the person in the portrait was Sister Lu!"

"Sister, you should leave now!"

"No need, it's not far to walk. The people in the shop saw me when I came here, they're definitely leading me this way now."

Lu Zhaoran felt that since things had come to this, he should just let nature take its course. Although the process was different, the result was about the same. As long as he could be captured and taken to the city lord's mansion, that would be fine.

----

"Oh!"

As Lu Zhaoran had expected, a group of people soon came upstairs and started banging on the door.

Xiao Qi opened the door as instructed by Lu Zhaoran, and a group of soldiers squeezed in as soon as the door opened.

"You! Come with us!"

After one of the soldiers opened the scroll and looked at it, he came up and tried to detain Lu Zhaoran.

"You, you, you! Stop! Stop right now!"

A man who wasn't wearing a soldier's uniform came up and stopped him in time.

"None of you know to wait for me! Didn't I tell you not to be irritable! Not to be irritable! Especially you! You've slighted this young lady, do you even want your head anymore!"

???

Lu Zhaoran and the other two stared at each other, completely bewildered.

Do you have to use polite words when arresting people? Your custom is quite unique.

"Young lady, our city lord requests your presence. We would be grateful if you could come along."

When the man turned around and faced Lu Zhaoran, he adopted a fawning expression.

Although Lu Zhaoran was very puzzled by this, since both sides had the same goal, it saved him the trouble.

"elder sister!"

"Hey! Stop her! Wait... um... take this with you."

The man circled the star once and decided to take her along as well.

"I...I...my sir, please take me with you."

Seeing that Lu Zhaoran and Xingchen had been invited, Xiaoqi hurriedly followed.

"Hey! You... no, I don't want this."

"???"

Xiaoqi felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart.

It hurts, why wasn't he brought along? (「▼皿▼」)

After Lu Zhaoran and Xingchen left the inn with them, they boarded a carriage. This carriage was similar to the one the city lord had ridden in before, but it was not as luxurious.

A winged, horse-shaped spirit carried them towards the city lord's mansion.
