A King Summoner Travels Through the World of Ye Luoli
Chapter 117 Luoque City, also known as the City of Tyrants
A vast expanse of stars, encompassing the world...
The next morning, Lu Zhaoran looked at the bamboo tube book in her hand, and two lines of text on it caught her attention.
Luoque City... Galaxy...
Perhaps this city lord's magic is related to the stars.
"Gentlemen, the manager has already paid the protection money. The guests staying here are all our customers. If you need anything, just tell us. We'll give you whatever you want. We just ask that you don't disturb the guests. If this affects our business, we won't be able to afford to pay you any money."
"Oh!"
"Get out of the way! Obstructing official business, you'll all be beheaded!"
Suddenly, the sounds of arguing outside the door and the loud thud of a person slamming against the door interrupted Lu Zhaoran's thoughts.
Lu Zhaoran watched as several people with elf ears kicked the door open and walked straight in.
So these are the spirits of this world.
Lu Zhaoran had not seen any so-called elves along the way. According to Xiao Qi, elves serve high-ranking fairies, and only powerful fairies like the Lord of Luoque City have elves serving them.
As for Yue Lin, who was in a weakened state, and the city lords of the small towns she encountered along the way, none of them had this qualification.
They also knew the true strength of the city lord of Luoque City.
She deeply felt that the fairies in this world were far more powerful than the fairies in her original world.
She was absolutely confident in defeating the weakened Yue Lin and the little fairies from those small towns, but she wasn't so confident in dealing with the powerful fairy who was currently at the height of her power in this world.
"Humans? I never imagined that the human race could produce such a person."
The elf strode in and, after scanning the room, fixed his gaze on Lu Zhaoran.
For some reason, this human was particularly attractive to it.
"Humans, I've heard you're new to Luoque City. According to regulations, you need to pay a certain entrance fee."
This elf is clearly here to take advantage of its power and make money.
"But we already paid once when we entered the city."
Upon hearing the words "city entrance fee," Tao Ning couldn't help but recall the huge sum of money Jiaotong University had charged when they first entered the city. They had paid so much, yet it still wasn't enough; they had to pay even more once they entered the city.
"Oh, you paid it? I didn't see it."
"you……"
Seeing the elf's shameless manner, Tao Ning blushed with anger, but she was always mild-mannered and wouldn't be like Rong Qi'an, whose mouth was full of honey as soon as she opened it.
"biu~"
Lu Zhaoran twirled the pearls in her hand and then threw them one by one.
Because she was so strong, you could hear a "biubiu" sound when the pearl hit her.
"You! You are so brave!"
The elf was beaten black and blue by the pearl, and it grimaced in pain. It immediately gathered its strength in its hands and cast a spell at Lu Zhaoran.
Lu Zhaoran looked at the faint spell and chuckled, like a cat teasing a mouse, not killing its prey directly but thinking of slowly playing with it.
With a slight turn of her fingertip, the spell was somehow drawn to her fingertip, as if it had gained sentience and changed masters, becoming eerily docile on her fingertip.
"You...you! You! Who exactly are you?!"
The elf stared in astonishment at the scene before it. This person's control over energy was terrifying, and this was its own energy.
It could only use this energy to attack, but the person in front of it could control the energy as if it were tamed, changing according to her will.
"What kind of bully training base or sycophant training camp is your Luoque City? How come it's full of such trash, both weak and fond of playing around?"
Before Lu Zhaoran could speak, Rong Qi'an's voice rang out from outside the door.
After hearing the commotion, the three people in the next room rushed over, but because Lu Zhaoran was there, they weren't in a hurry and just watched the show from outside the door.
"biu~"
Lu Zhaoran twirled the energy between his fingertips a few times, but after getting bored, he returned the energy to the sprite.
She did return it, but... the other party didn't catch it.
"what!"
The elf clutched its injured right eye and screamed in pain.
"Hey, you should hurry up and find a doctor to treat it. Maybe he can save your eye."
Xiaoqi leaned against the door and kindly reminded it.
Driven by the instinct to save its eyes, the elf ran away without looking back.
"Sir, I'm so sorry..."
Looking at the apologetic-looking waiter outside the door, Lu Zhaoran waved his hand.
The world is in chaos, and the lower classes suffer from the bullying of the upper classes. She wouldn't make things difficult for a poor working person.
"Please have someone clean up the pearls on the ground, and while you're at it, please change my room."
Upon hearing Lu Zhaoran's words, the shopkeeper's eyes widened instantly. Didn't this mean that all the pearls were for him?
"Alright, alright, don't worry, sir. Please wait a moment while you go downstairs for some morning tea. When you return, I will make sure everything is arranged for you."
…………
"Brother Xiaoqi, we've already offended two people as soon as we arrived, no, it's a person and an elf. Are we going to get into trouble?"
While eating breakfast, Tao Ning nervously nudged Xiao Qi, who was happily eating next to her, and then voiced her concerns.
"Oh, don't worry, it's alright. In three months, Luo Que City will be hosting a banquet for several great fairies. This banquet has been in preparation for ten years and it's finally almost here. In the past few months, no one has dared to cause trouble. At most, they've settled things privately and haven't dared to make a big fuss."
After swallowing her food, Xiao Qi said something that both reassured and shocked Tao Ning.
"ten years!"
"What's so surprising about that? Fairies have long lifespans, so ten years is nothing to them."
Xiao Qi didn't feel anything was wrong. The city lord of Luo Que City was not comparable to the city lord of a small city. The fairies he was going to invite must be extremely powerful and have great magical abilities. Such a grand occasion was enough to show the strength and status of those fairies. They could probably even come into contact with the legendary queen. It was of utmost importance to the city lord of Luo Que City to entertain those people well.
"Hmph, ten years is just a blink of an eye for them, but how many human lives have been lost in this ten-year feast? For the sake of a feast, the people are forced to build special palaces, and the corvée labor and taxes have been increasing year after year."
Xingchen spoke through gritted teeth, each word distinct, until the chopsticks in her hand broke under the strain.
"But clearly... they have everything they need."
Tao Ning's words silenced everyone.
Yes, they lack nothing.
If they want something, let alone a palace, they could have ten, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand palaces with a wave of their hand.
They have a high status and great power from birth, so why do they have to send and enslave these humans?
The boys around this table were confused, resentful, and powerless.
Lu Zhaoran, however, was unaffected.
It is said that human nature is evil, but in fact, it is most common for intelligent beings to seek advantage and avoid harm, and to do so for their own benefit. The so-called "goodness" comes from the accumulation of education. Humans can develop good qualities because of education, but other creatures that have not been educated cannot, which is why some people are called "beasts." Lu Zhaoran knows these principles, but these teenagers cannot understand them.
Goodness was extinguished, and evil seeds were sown. Lu Zhaoran had always focused on cultivating their abilities but neglected their moral education. At this moment, she could never have imagined how serious the consequences of her negligence would be in the future.
