554: The only rule of Wuluan Ancient City

Chapter 553: The Only Rule of Wu Luan Ancient City

Although the System's UI interface had disappeared, the Blessings and talents were still operating normally.

First was the guest currently enjoying the meal before him, whose identity information was incredibly exaggerated; it was actually a Level 98 Savage Demon Pig.

Just a casual hint of magic power intensity was enough to make Dick feel suffocated.

If this Savage Demon Pig were placed in an S-rank Underground City, he could probably become the final BOSS in the last level's Secret Treasure Room.

But in Wu Luan Ancient City, he was just a street-side diner, and because he was short of luan stone, he could only order a table full of vegetarian dishes.

There was also 'Disaster Empathy', this talent was now maxed out, fear filled Dick's entire body, and goosebumps suddenly rose.

Without a doubt, he was facing a death threat!

The next second, the Savage Demon Pig extended his sharp giant claw and grabbed Dick's waist.

'Complimentary meat dish? No luan stone needed? Haha, this old man's luck is really good today...'

Saying this, the Savage Demon Pig wrapped Dick with two vegetable leaves, then opened his foul-smelling large mouth, preparing to enjoy the meal.

'Hmph, I'm Lord of the End's person, do you dare eat me?'

Dick wasn't flustered, instead, he brought out Master Alice's esteemed name, attempting to scare away the Savage Demon Pig.

He believed that with Master Alice's arrogant personality, she must be quite famous within Wu Luan Ancient City.

'Huh?!'

As expected, upon hearing the four words 'Lord of the End', the Savage Demon Pig was immediately startled, his claw trembled, and he let go of Dick.

But soon, the sounds of questioning from the surrounding diners rang out.

'Doesn't the Lord of the End only have one pure-blooded Dragon race maid under its command?'

'This meat slave's level is so low, the Lord of the End is incredibly arrogant, would it even look at him?'

'Peiqi, look at your useless appearance, you were actually scared by a single nonsensical sentence from a meat slave...'

'Hahaha, truly stupid to the core, don't even think about it, the Holy Master lives in Chaoyue District, how could its people come to Chaoxing District...'

Soon, the surrounding diners began mocking the Savage Demon Pig, he couldn't keep his face, and immediately grabbed Dick again.

The sharp claw easily tore through his clothes but did not cause any damage to his skin, which greatly shocked Dick.

Could it be that his body in Wu Luan Ancient City had particularly high defense?

Soon, the Savage Demon Pig lifted Dick high with a single claw, saying fiercely, 'Damn meat slave, this old man will eat your limbs first, then your organs, and finally...'

Swish—

Suddenly, a red light flashed, the Savage Demon Pig's claw loosened, and Dick gently landed on the tabletop.

Looking up, the Savage Demon Pig Peiqi still maintained his fierce expression from before, but his eyes were vacant, already devoid of life.

A Level 98 Savage Demon Pig had actually died just like that.

Dick looked around again and soon discovered a greater anomaly.

The diners and waiters inside this restaurant... were actually all stiff and motionless like the Savage Demon Pig Peiqi, all having inexplicably died!

'Lord Dick, please forgive my unauthorized action, after all, the Holy Master's highest priority command is to protect your safety.'

A gentle voice came from behind, Dick immediately turned around and saw Adela, who was curtsying while holding her skirt.

She was as elegant and calm as ever, as if everything was under control.

And that was indeed the case, in Dick's perception, all the creatures throughout the restaurant were already dead.

'Killing people in Wu Luan Ancient City... does it not require bearing consequences?'

Hearing this, Adela chuckled and shook her head, saying lightly, 'Based on the number and strength of the people killed, I need to pay the full amount of the fine to the City Lord's Mansion within seven days, otherwise I will be prohibited from stepping into Wu Luan Ancient City for the rest of my life.'

Even a serious crime like murder only requires paying a fine in Wu Luan Ancient City, so the punishment for other crimes is also imaginable.

Dick wasn't actually surprised by this legal system, after all, this was a place where strength was respected, and equality of human rights was simply impossible.

What Adela referred to as the City Lord's Mansion sounded like the governing body of Wu Luan Ancient City, but in reality, it should just be a powerful profit-making organization.

The enforcers of the City Lord's Mansion would not stand up for the weak, they were just a group of wealthy individuals protecting their vested interests.

Wu Luan Ancient City only had one rule—the strong prey on the weak, and this was also the common rule of the entire River of Time and Space, and the myriad worlds.

Dick didn't feel any guilt for the innocent people who died in the restaurant because of him, after all, they wouldn't have felt any pity when eating people.

'Right, where is the carriage parked, is it far from here?'

'Not far at all,' Adela gently shook her head, 'It's right next door.'

Hearing this, Dick was a bit hesitant, because Adela was also a Lord, and what she called 'not far' or 'right next door' could very well be tens of millions of kilometers.

Master Alice was like this before at the Main Time-Space passage, she directly described a distance of over a hundred million kilometers as 'nearby'.

'Be clearer, how far exactly?'

Adela tilted her head and pointed outside the window, saying, 'It's right downstairs.'

Dick was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked to the window and looked down, clearly seeing the carriage parked right at the restaurant entrance.

Adela was indeed honest enough, she said it was next door, and it really was next door.

It seemed it was just a deviation of a few meters, the pattern he had discovered was indeed correct, as long as he switched consciousness at the corresponding coordinates, he could travel to the corresponding location in Wu Luan Ancient City.

...

Before long, the two left the restaurant, and the carriage continued to move slowly forward.

The City Lord's Mansion's efficiency was extremely high, a blockade barrier had already been set up at this time, completely surrounding the restaurant.

As for the culprit, Adela, she just signed a document simply and then left gracefully.

On the carriage, Dick asked curiously, 'How much fine do you need to pay after that? And how exactly is it calculated?'

'Uh... is that important?'

Due to her tragic experiences in her early years, Adela strongly disliked calculations, even the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Dick saw Adela's resistance but still pressed, 'It's very important, I might need it later.'

Hearing this, Adela sighed helplessly, then bent over, cupping her cheeks with her hands, and began calculating with a pained expression.

Because it was a close-up downward view, Dick's view was excellent, and coupled with the maid's long dress being low-cut, he could easily see everything.

Her snow-white beautiful breasts were full and pear-shaped, firm and not drooping, and they were constantly swaying with the bumps of the carriage, the deep cleavage was incredibly alluring.

But Dick didn't care about this beautiful sight, he just felt that Adela was calculating too slowly and was feeling annoyed.

In terms of breast shape, not as good as Alice; in terms of size, not as good as Cecilia; in terms of feel, not as good as Mina...

Although Dick hadn't tried Adela, the criteria for judging feel were often inseparable from size.

If they were too large and heavy, the feel would be poor, whereas someone like Mina, who was just right for a single hand's grasp, was perfect.

'It's already been a minute, haven't you finished calculating?'

'Don't, don't rush me, there were dozens of people in that restaurant...'

Looking at Adela, who had a troubled expression, Dick curled his lip and immediately asked, 'Then tell me the rules for the fine, and I'll calculate it myself.'

Hearing this, Adela immediately stopped being troubled, and her beautiful purple eyes regained their brightness.

'For professionals below Level 100, one hundred luan stone is paid for each level; for max-level professionals, twenty thousand luan stone is paid in one lump sum; if a Lord is killed, then you have to go to the City Lord's Mansion to accept judgment, and generally, over one million luan stone needs to be paid.'

Adela had thought for so long before, Dick thought it was going to be very complicated, but he didn't expect the rules for the fine to be so simple and clear.

For example, that Level 98 Savage Demon Pig from before, Adela killing him required paying a fine of 9800 luan stone, it was that simple.

As for other illegal and criminal acts, Dick estimated that paying a fine would suffice for those too.

In Wu Luan Ancient City, having strength and luan stone truly allowed one to do whatever they wanted.

Looking at the street view outside the window, Dick chatted idly with Adela, while his mind was thinking about the incident that had just happened in the restaurant.

That Savage Demon Pig's sharp claw was actually unable to cause any damage to his body, this clearly couldn't be explained by thick skin and tough flesh.

After all, that was a Level 98 Savage Demon Pig!

This matter was too outrageous and couldn't be concealed, Dick planned to discuss and research it with Master Alice later.

Speaking of Master Alice, Dick suddenly realized a problem.

Wu Luan Ancient City was so large, just Chaoxing District alone was the size of three continents, so at the slow speed of a carriage like this...

When would they finally arrive at Chaoyue District where Master Alice was located?

Thinking of this, Dick immediately raised his question to Adela, and this Dragon race maid said unhurriedly, 'It will probably take over a thousand years.'

...

Dick was utterly speechless, the flow of time in Wu Luan Ancient City was consistent with the Main Time-Space, he absolutely couldn't sleep for over a thousand years.

'Let's stop sightseeing for now,' Dick said irritably, covering his forehead, 'Take me to see Master Alice right now.'
