Naturally, Master Four wanted to make some money. Ten million was not a small amount and it was not a big deal.
Lu Li had said that he could turn down the offer at any time if there were any problems.
Master Four left without hesitation. Lu Li stayed in the guest room on the upper floor of the tavern and waited for Master Four's news.
Lu Li drew two portraits for Master Four and said that Tuoba Ying had just bought them from the Haunted Castle.
Master Four was a bit hesitant when he heard that it was Tuoba Ying who bought them. But he didn't mind when he learned that Tuoba Ying had bought thousands in one go.
It was just two slaves, not a big deal.
Lu Li waited patiently. He could not afford to be careless. He kept an eye on the surroundings in case the Tuoba Family would do something to him.
If Fourth Master found a group of people and arrested him for being a spy, then he would die a wrongful death.
He waited for two days, which was peaceful. On the third day, Master Four came. He entered Lu Li's guest room with a terrible look on his face.
"You are in trouble!"
Master Four cut to the chase as soon as he came in, "Those slaves have been sent to the Thunder Prison Mountain to mine there.
That is a place under strict management of the Tuoba Family. I cannot do anything so I cannot do anything. "
"Thunder Prison Mountain?"
Lu Li had asked around about the Tuoba Family. He knew something about the Thunder Prison Mountain.
This was one of the most important places of resources for the Tuoba Family. The Thunder Blood Gems produced there were priceless. Naturally, the security was strict.
Lu Li had never thought about kidnapping people by force. That was one of the most important places of the Tuoba Family. There would be at least warriors at the fourth tribulation. The divine patterns inside must be powerful as well. On the off chance that there was a strong shield, Lu Li would not be able to crack it.
Lu Li thought about it and cupped his fists again. "Master Four, can you do something?
I can add a few more parangons.
You have done your research. Those two are of no importance. They are not worth mentioning for the Tuoba Family. "
"This is difficult …"
Master Four let out a deep sigh and did not continue speaking.
Lu Li understood. The ring on his hand glowed as he handed over another two million divine stones and said, "Lord Four, as long as you can help me save these two, I will give you another 20 million later."
The Fourth Master took it and casually glanced at it. His eyes immediately lit up. He hesitated for a moment and said with some difficulty, "Alright, I'll try my best. I definitely won't be able to do it by myself. I have to find a clan uncle to think of a way. You can wait here for news."
After Patriarch Four left, Lu Li called over a waiter at once to ask about the Thunder Prison Mountain. After a while, Lu Li was intrigued.
It wasn't that the Thunder Prison Mountain couldn't be taken down. It was because the Thunder Prison Mountain was huge. It covered an area of millions of kilometers.
Although there were many patrolling soldiers, there was still a chance to sneak in.
Originally, Lu Li had thought that the place was covered by a Divine Rune Training Hall. Now, it seemed that there were no Divine Runes. How could there be Divine Runes in an area with a radius of millions of miles?
They could only rely on the soldiers to guard and patrol.
"Let's wait for a while!"
Lu Li thought about it and decided to wait for Lord Four. If Lord Four could get it out easily, then Lu Li wouldn't have to take the risk.
Otherwise, he would fall out with the Tuoba Family and could be killed by the powerful warriors guarding the Thunder Prison Mountain.
Three days later, Lord Four came. He pulled a long face as soon as he arrived. He said, "Brother, this is difficult. Our family has been reorganizing our internal affairs.
I have found a clan uncle and begged him for a long time. He said that it is difficult to get them out secretly unless we can bribe the patriarch guarding the mountain … "
Lu Li frowned and asked, "How much?"
Lord Four raised one finger and said, "300 million and you must pay half of it up front. We have to bribe the patriarch or else we cannot get two people out."
"That much?"
Lu Li pulled a long face. After a moment of hesitation, he made up his mind and said, "I don't have 300 million now. I need to collect them. Lord Four, are you sure you can do that?"
Lord Four nodded. Lu Li nodded and said, "Then please wait for a month or two. I will go and collect the Divine Stones. By then, I will need your help. You will get your share."
"Sure, do it as soon as possible. The Thunder Prison Mountain is dangerous. Don't let the people you want die."
Lord Four said and swaggered away. Lu Li's face was clouded after Lord Four was gone.
This Lord Four was a good-for-nothing. He couldn't do anything and he wanted to cheat Lu Li out of his Divine Stones?
If he could get them out, it would be a piece of cake and he wouldn't have to spend 300 million Divine Stones.
Clearly, this Lord Four was either trying to swindle Lu Li out of his Divine Stones or he was trying to extort more Divine Stones from Lu Li.
Lu Li didn't have that many Divine Stones. He was afraid that if he gave too many Divine Stones, Lord Four might get greedy at the sight of money and find someone to kill him.
Therefore, Lu Li's words were meant to calm Lord Four down.
Lu Li decided to save the two himself. He wanted to go to the Thunder Prison Mountain first and bribe the warriors there if he could.
If he couldn't buy them, he could only forcefully kidnap them and escape with the two of them.
He went to the city and teleported to a small city nearby. After several teleportations, he arrived at the Thunder City.
The Thunder Prison Mountain was three thousand miles to the north of the Thunder City. As a matter of fact, the Thunder City was built for the Thunder Prison Mountain.
There were many warriors in the Thunder City and so were the entertainment industries. Tens of thousands of warriors were stationed at the Thunder Prison Mountain all year round. They would work in shifts and needed to rest. The Thunder City was a place for them to relax.
There were taverns, brothels, brothels, and brothels everywhere. Lu Li wandered around in the city. He was relieved to see so many warriors.
Those warriors were from the Thunder Prison Mountain. At the very least, it would be easier for them to gather information.
Money could make the world go round!
Lu Li stayed in the city for two days and successfully made friends with a minor commander. He also gathered a lot of information. But the result was frustrating.
The management of the Thunder Prison Mountain was too strict. All the slaves had a serial number and special marks were planted in their bodies to prevent them from running away.
Once the slaves left the Thunder Prison Mountain, they would be noticed immediately and an individual troop would be sent to hunt them down.
Therefore, it was hard to get them out secretly. Was Lord Four not trying to extort Lu Li for Divine Stones?
Did he really have to bribe the patriarchs?
Lu Li did not have that many Divine Stones unless he sold the Cauldron of Thousand Transformations and other treasures. Was he sure he could get them out for 300 million?
Lu Li was not so sure.
He did not act rashly. Instead, he continued to gather information. After spending several million Divine Stones on that minor commander, Lu Li finally got what he wanted.
He could do Lu Li a favor and find out which area of the Thunder Prison Mountain the two were in. As for how to get them out, that would be up to Lu Li.
He suggested that Lu Li spend a lot of money to bribe the patriarchs in charge. Without the approval of the patriarchs, Lu Li would not be able to get them out.
Lu Li didn't want to waste his time. He made up his mind. As soon as he found out where the two were, he would go … and kidnap them.
In a month, Tuoba Ying would be getting married. The most powerful patriarchs in charge would go back for a day. Only a dozen average patriarchs would stay. This was a good opportunity.
