As the soldiers continued to search, a large number of monster corpses were found empty, without any materials.
Only at the back did the materials gradually appear, but the pile of corpses in the front were all empty, which was unbelievable.
"You think... there is no ghost, right?! Otherwise, why are all the materials of these monster corpses missing?"
"Don't talk nonsense there. What kind of ghosts are there? Aren't these undead monsters the ghosts you are talking about? Who knows how these materials disappeared, we have never seen them."
"That's right. Everyone has been here all the time and has never left for a moment. Who do you think has such great ability and can scrape away such a large amount of materials without realizing it?"
"I can't believe it! This person is really awesome!"
…
While the soldiers were searching, they were discussing what was going on.
However, they obviously couldn't figure out the reason behind the discussion, and they all treated it like a bunch of people.
More and more soldiers were discussing, and the voices of discussion naturally spread to the family forces.
At this time, members of various families gathered together, and everyone looked a little unhappy.
"What is going on? Why did these materials disappear under our noses?!"
"The city lord promised to give us half, but now it's so much less for no reason. What should we do?"
"What else can we do? Either find the city leader, or just endure it. But if we find the city leader, the family may not have a good time in the future."
"That's right. The city lord can't figure out what's going on right now. He's very angry in his heart. If you try to get into trouble with him at this time, you're just looking for death."
…
Although these people in the family were a little unhappy in their hearts, no one dared to take the initiative to get into trouble.
No matter how strong their family is, it is because of the protection of the city lord. Once the city lord hates them, the next life will probably not be easy.
They still have a clear distinction on this matter. After all, the family has developed for so many years, and they get along quite happily with the city lord.
There is no need to disgust the city lord at this time. For them, this is simply not worth the loss.
Although their family members also contributed a lot in this tough battle against the monster tide, they did not lose any manpower after all.
It’s not a big deal to take less materials, just take less materials, just think of it as saving face for the city lord.
If something good happens to them in the future, with this love, the city lord will definitely give them priority.
After discussing with all the family members, they all made the decision not to overly investigate the amount of materials obtained this time.
The people from each family arranged a representative to go to Luo Junshan and tell Luo Junshan their thoughts.
When the representative came to Luo Junshan, he looked so gloomy, as if he was like a lion about to become angry at any time.
The representative said with some trembling.
"Well... Lord City Lord, we already know about the situation here, but it doesn't matter. Although most of the materials have disappeared for no reason, we know that this has nothing to do with Lord City Lord.
Therefore, we are not going to pursue the issue of those materials. As long as the city lord gives us half of the materials as agreed upon, we will consider it as us helping the city lord this time.
If... if in the future, you need your help from the City Lord, please don’t refuse, Lord City Lord."
This is obviously selling a favor to Luo Junshan. Although these families suffered a little loss this time, it is still good for Luo Junshan to owe them a favor.
After hearing these words, Luo Junshan, who was originally gloomy, looked a little better.
At least these families don't require so many materials.
Otherwise, Luo Junshan might have no choice but to do it himself.
So it's a favor owed, but at least both parties have a decent reputation and haven't broken their skins over it, which is pretty good.
Luo Junshan nodded slightly, his face still a little gloomy, and said in a deep voice.
"Okay! I, Luo Junshan, have made a note of the help from all the major families this time. I owe you a favor. I will never forget you if I have the opportunity in the future."
This is not something I say casually, Luo Junshan is serious.
In the future, there will always be times when these families need their help, and then it will be enough to return the favor.
"Yes, yes! I understand, then... I will leave first."
After saying that, the representatives, who were still a little nervous at first, quickly left the place.
After the representatives of these families left, Luo Junshan snorted heavily.
"Hmph! Don't let me know who did this, otherwise... we must make him look good!"
His fists were clenched tightly, Luo Junshan was obviously really angry.
But it is a pity that Luo Junshan may never know who the person who took away most of this material is.
To be precise, no one should know. Except for Ye Ling, who is the person involved, who would have thought that Ye Ling would have such an ability.
…
In Black Rock City, Ye Ling finally returned. At this time, it was completely dark and the whole city entered the night.
Originally, during the day, people in the city were still very panicked.
After all, this is a wave of monsters. If the army can't resist it, wouldn't it be doomed for this city?
Fortunately, the tide of monsters was finally repelled and Black Rock City was successfully defended.
Now at night, Black Rock City is bustling and bustling again, and most people are celebrating that they have successfully passed this crisis.
After entering the city, Ye Ling immediately returned to the attic where they were assigned when they arrived.
When they returned here, except for Li Xingyue, Zhao Siyu and the other three were no longer here.
"Ye Ling, you are back."
After seeing Ye Ling come back, Li Xingyue finally felt relieved after she was still a little uneasy.
She has always been a little worried about Ye Ling's encounter with such a crisis.
After coming back, I have been a little scared, wondering whether I should leave Ye Ling behind to clean up the battlefield.
It was after Zhao Siyu comforted her that Li Xingyue became more stable.
After dark, the bustling sounds of the city could be heard. Zhao Siyu and the three girls liked to enjoy the excitement. Naturally, they couldn't stay any longer and had to go out to the lively streets.
Originally, she wanted to take Li Xingyue with her, but Li Xingyue said that she would wait here for Ye Ling to come back.
After trying all kinds of persuasion to no avail, Zhao Siyu and the others could only go there by themselves, leaving Li Xingyue alone to wait for Ye Ling to come back.
"Teacher, why don't you see the three senior sisters? Aren't they supposed to be with you?"
Since coming back, Ye Ling has noticed that Zhao Siyu and the others are not here at this time.
"The three of them saw that the street was very lively, so they went for a walk. I will wait here for you to come back. If you don't come back, I will never let go."
Li Xingyue's concern was clearly visible. In addition to Hongxiu's special instructions, she also regarded Ye Ling as her student.
Therefore, Li Xingyue certainly has to worry about Ye Ling's safety.
"Thank you for your concern, teacher, but since seniors and others have already gone, why don't we go together too.
It’s rare to come to other cities that are so lively, so it would be a pity not to go shopping.”
Ye Ling was still full of curiosity about the bustling Black Rock City. It would be a pity not to go shopping at this time.
Hearing this, Li Xingyue smiled happily.
"Okay, now that you're back and I'm relieved, I'll go for a walk too. There's nothing to do anyway, so I can just relax a little in the past two days."
Generally, when you go out to perform tasks, you will have a few days. Since you have completed the task so quickly, you can have a good rest for a few days.
There is no need to rush back to Suzaku Academy in these few days, you can just stay in Black Rock City and rest.
Afterwards, Ye Ling and Li Xingyue also walked towards the lively and bustling street.
When they came to the street, they saw the street was brightly lit, crowded with people, and very lively.
Most people's faces were filled with joy. After all, this was the aftermath of the disaster, so how could they not be happy.
There are various snack bars, snack shops, etc. on the street, all of which are open and filled with customers.
After the two of them wandered around for a while, Ye Ling touched his somewhat shriveled belly and smashed it in his mouth.
He was indeed a little hungry. After all, he had eaten almost nothing since lunch until now.
Moreover, he had experienced another battle in the middle, and he was already hungry.
It should be said that not only him, Feng Jiu's condition was not much better, standing listlessly on Ye Ling's shoulder.
Feng Jiu kept pecking Ye Ling's face with her beak, reminding Ye Ling that she was hungry and wanted to eat.
In desperation, Ye Ling had no choice but to make suggestions to Li Xingyue.
"Teacher, why don't we go eat first? It's getting late. I think the seniors have already eaten."
After hearing what Ye Ling said, Li Xingyue realized that this was really the case.
"In that case, let's find a suitable restaurant to eat first. I don't know if there is any authentic delicious food in Black Rock City. Why don't we check it out?"
Now that I'm here, I naturally want to try some of the more distinctive local dishes, otherwise my trip will be in vain.
Ye Ling immediately took out his mobile phone and started to check if there was anything delicious in Black Rock City.
After checking, it turns out that there is indeed one. After all, it is a city, and it is normal to have unique and delicious food.
"Teacher, let's go this way. There is a famous restaurant over there we just passed by. Let's go there to eat."
After completing the inquiry, Ye Ling pointed to the place where they had just come.
