Chapter 2662 Blackwater City! Tang Family Guest! (5 more)
After paying the spirit liquid, Lin Bai received the identity token and walked into Blackwater City with Ban Ye and others.
Lin Bai smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Banye, does this Blackwater City actually have to pay so much spiritual liquid every month?"
Ban Ye nodded and said: "Yes, this is a lot of income!"
Lin Bai asked: "Then where are these spiritual liquids used?"
Banye laughed and said: "Basically, they were divided among the big families in the city!"
Lin Bai frowned.
Ban Ye said: "Brother Lin Bai also has influence in Blackwater City!"
"The first is the city lord. The city lord is the most powerful person in Blackwater City. He is extremely powerful and is responsible for managing everything in Blackwater City, such as waging war and plundering other cities, presiding over defense, etc.!"
"In addition to the city lord, there are eight major families in Blackwater City!"
"The Tang family is one of the eight major families. However, the Tang family has gradually declined over the years and is only at the bottom of the eight major families."
"And the current city lord of Blackwater City is a member of the Zhao family, one of the eight major families in Blackwater City!"
"Brother Lin Bai, do you know that the eight major families fought hard for the position of city lord!"
Ban Ye said with a wry smile.
Lin Bai asked curiously: "Why? Are there so many benefits to becoming a city lord?"
Ban Ye smiled and said: "Of course there is. In Blackwater City, the city lord is equivalent to an emperor. He has the full power to speak for himself. The other eight major families must also obey the city lord's words!"
"With such great power, you naturally have to think about your family!"
"So in these years, because the current city lord is a member of the Zhao family, the power of the Zhao family has become more and more powerful in these years!"
"If nothing else, let's just say that the Zhao family accounts for three-tenths of the spiritual fluid allocated to each family every month!"
"The Zhao family exclusively owns three-tenths!"
"As for the other seven major families, three-tenths are born!"
"The remaining two-tenths are allocated to other small families in the city; the remaining two-tenths are used to maintain the magic circle of Blackwater City, or to recruit strong men!"
Hearing Ban Ye's explanation, Lin Bai smiled slightly: "Listen to what Uncle Ban Ye said, becoming a city lord is really a big temptation. The Zhao family actually monopolizes three-tenths of the spiritual fluid share!"
"And the other seven major families account for the other three-tenths!"
"This is not at all on the same level!"
Lin Bai said with a smile.
Banye said: "Yes, the most important thing is that in the battle between Blackwater City and Houtucheng a few years ago, the current city lord was seriously injured. It is said that the Zhao family spent a lot of money, but it has not been effective!"
"It is said... that the current city lord should not die!"
"And the other seven major families are also eager to try, preparing to nominate a strong person within their own family to become the city lord!"
"So, it is estimated that if the news that the Lord of the City is critically ill really spreads in the near future, the other seven major families will probably take action!"
Ban Ye said calmly.
Lin Bai smiled and said: "If it were me, I wouldn't want a warrior from the Zhao family to become the city lord again. There must be a fight for the position of city lord!"
"If you lose the fight, you're just surrendering. There's not much difference!"
"If we win the battle and the warrior of our family becomes the city lord, we can protect our family's stable growth for hundreds of years to come!"
"You can't lose this deal no matter what!"
Lin Bai nodded and said.
Banye also smiled and nodded: "We're here, the Tang family is in front of us!"
Lin Bai looked up and saw that at the end of this street, there was a continuous group of palaces. The buildings were extremely luxurious. At first glance, it was the residence of the leader in the city.
Ban Ye said: "The gentlemen and ladies are tired from traveling all the way. You should go back and rest first. I will take Brother Lin Bai to complete the guest examination!"
Those young men and women already had tired faces. After hearing Banye's words and seeing that they were already home, they walked into the house with their tired bodies in their arms.
Lin Bai looked at these young men and women and said, "Are these the descendants of the Tang family? If the descendants of the Tang family are like this, it seems that the Tang family will not be able to stay in Blackwater City for a long time."
Ban Ye shook his head and said: "Yes! Over the years, the Tang family has indeed not produced many geniuses. The only genius who can use it is today...Tang Yuezhi!"
"Except for Tang Yue, among the current generation of young people in the Tang family, it is almost difficult to choose a talented person!"
"Stop talking about this, let's go, Brother Lin Bai, I will take you to take the guest examination."
Banye said.
"Okay!" Lin Bai followed Ban Ye.
If he wanted to stay in Blackwater City, Lin Bai must have an identity and a place to live.
At this moment, we had a good chat with these wild uncles, and Lin Bai felt there was nothing wrong with becoming a guest of the Tang family!
Soon, Lin Bai followed Ban Ye back and forth in the high-walled courtyard of the Tang family, and came to a palace. The plaque on the door of this place read "Ke Qing Ju".
Immediately, Ban Ye walked in with Lin Bai.
"Ban Ye, you are back. I heard that you got a good job and went out to play with a few little kids?"
"This is a good job. You can go out to have fun and earn some spiritual fluid at the same time."
As soon as I walked into the guest house, a middle-aged fat man inside smiled at Banye and said.
Banye shook his head and said: "Damn fat man, forget it, it almost scared me to death. I originally thought it was a good job, but these juniors insisted on going to the Forest of Earth Snakes to see it, and I almost couldn't come back!"
"
The fat middle-aged man said in surprise: "Holy crap, you're crazy, take them to the Forest of Earth Snakes!"
Banye said helplessly: "Don't you know about those little ancestors? Can I resist their demands?"
The middle-aged obese man smacked his tongue and said, "I hope you come back safely! Is there anything you want to do when you come to Keqingju this time?"
Ban Ye smiled and said: "This is brother Lin Bai. He wants to join the Tang family and become a guest minister. I will take him to complete the guest minister examination!"
"Brother Lin Bai, this is mine. You can just call him Fatty. That's what we all call him anyway!"
Lin Bai cupped his fists and said, "Lin Bai has seen the fat uncle!"
The fat uncle looked at Lin Bai with a frown, and whispered to Ban Ye: "Ban Ye, what's the matter with you? You invite him to be a guest guest like this. Look at this kid's appearance. He is younger than my son. He is qualified to be a guest guest.
?”
"Can you pass the assessment?"
Ban Ye whispered at this moment: "Fat man, don't underestimate him. Although he is not old, his swordsmanship is superb!"
"I advise you not to provoke him, otherwise, you will be tortured alive by him!"
Banye said with a smile.
When he thought of the scene when Lin Bai was in the forest of earth snakes, where one man and one sword killed the whole world in darkness, Ban Ye felt terrified in his heart.
Even in the end, the Snake King of the Earth Snake Forest even sent gifts to apologize!
This kind of strength is simply astonishing!
The fat uncle said: "Okay, since it was your recommendation, let him try it. But Brother Lin Bai, I also want to remind you that not everyone can be a guest of the Tang family. You
You must have the strength to pass the assessment!"
"In the assessment, neither Banye nor I can help you!"
Lin Bai nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, and I will do my best in this decision!"
