"But before that, I would like to know who issued this notice."
Qinchuan pointed to the notice on the wall and asked his question. He was sure that when he came here two days ago, there was nothing posted on the wall.
"Just two days ago, not only me, but all the shops in the entire Black City were put up with these two notices."
Kelly replied without hesitation, "Moreover, as far as I know, these two notices came from the City Lord's Mansion!
With the power to post these two notices in all the shops, the person who issued them must be a high-level official in the City Lord's Mansion, or even the City Lord himself! "
Hearing Kelly's answer, Qinchuan couldn't help but suck in a mouthful of cold air. He didn't expect that these two notices were actually related to the City Lord's Mansion!
One must know that the City Lord of Black City was rumored to be a powerful cultivator at the peak of Building Foundation stage!
For a moment, Qinchuan's heart couldn't help but beat the drum of retreat. If by any chance he was targeted by the City Lord's Mansion because of the identification of the array glyphs, then it wouldn't be good.
Taking such a big risk for two hundred thousand, was it worth it?
Just when Qinchuan's heart was hesitating, Kelly's phone suddenly rang. She took out the phone and glanced at it, then raised her eyes to look at Qinchuan with a strange look, and whispered, "I just got the notice that the City Lord's Mansion issued another order. The price of these two notices has changed. As long as you can identify one of the array glyphs, you will be given two hundred thousand, and if you can identify both, you will be given five hundred thousand!"
Five hundred thousand!
This was a huge sum of money!
It was more than twice as much as before!
"Let's do it!"
Qinchuan fiercely clenched his teeth. Sure enough, riches and honor can only be found in danger!
"I'll go back tonight and ask my grandfather. Tomorrow night I'll come back here. You prepare some body forging and advanced training resources that can help develop the brain for me in advance. I'll buy them at that time."
Qinchuan stared at Kelly solemnly and said in a deep voice, "You can't let anyone know about my grandfather. Otherwise, I'll only get beaten up at most, but you'll lose your life!"
Qinchuan had to ensure that nothing went wrong when it came to the City Lord's Mansion. And to ensure that nothing went wrong, Kelly, as an insider, had to keep her mouth shut!
Kelly nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret!"
What a joke! Only an idiot would do something like offending a great figure like a Talisman Formation Master.
After receiving Kelly's promise, Qinchuan did not hesitate any longer and turned to leave.
Regardless of whether Kelly was reliable or not, once the transaction was completed tomorrow night, he would immediately leave the Black City. For a short period of time, he would absolutely not set foot in the Black City again. He had to avoid the limelight first.
…
Since she learned that Qinchuan's grandfather was at least a Level 3 Talisman Formation Master, Kelly's mood had been in a constant state of excitement. This was a Level 3 Talisman Formation Master! Even the speaker of the State Capital of Qing had to respectfully address him as a Master!
Thinking that she was about to have a connection with such a great figure, Kelly's mood was excited and somewhat perturbed. If she reported the names of the two runes, it would inevitably attract the attention of the City Lord's Mansion. If the City Lord's Mansion asked about the origin of the names of the two runes, should she say it or not?
If she said it, she would inevitably offend Qinchuan and the Talisman Formation Master behind Qinchuan. If she didn't say it, then she would inevitably offend the City Lord's Mansion. It could be said that it was extremely difficult to survive in the cracks. Now, Kelly could only pin her hopes on the City Lord's Mansion not being willing to delve into this matter and offend a Level 3 Talisman Formation Master. Otherwise, her future days would be really difficult.
"For the permanent residency in the Black City and the store's permanent property rights, I'll fight!"
Kelly fiercely gritted her teeth. Riches and honor were found in danger. If she didn't fight, how would she know it wouldn't work?!
…
When Qinchuan once again came to Kelly's store on the night of the second day, what he saw was Kelly with disheveled hair and two dark circles around her eyes. This gave Qinchuan a fright. Could it be that the City Lord's Mansion had already received the news in advance and interrogated Kelly overnight?
How could Qinchuan know that Kelly was so excited that she didn't sleep for the entire night and sat in the store for the entire day. Her emotions were too excited, causing her to become like this.
Seeing that Qinchuan's face revealed a somewhat flustered expression, Kelly knew that Qinchuan had misunderstood. She hurriedly explained, "Don't be agitated. I was just a little excited last night and didn't sleep well. That's why I became like this. There's absolutely no third person who knows about our matter."
Hearing Kelly's explanation, Qinchuan's heart also heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he sat down in front of the counter and whispered to Kelly, "Yesterday, I have already asked my grandfather. I already know the names of the two talisman arrays."
While speaking, Qinchuan handed a piece of paper to Kelly. He wasn't worried that Kelly would embezzle the reward that belonged to her.
Kelly looked at the piece of paper that Qinchuan handed over. Her eyes couldn't help but light up. She stretched out her trembling hand and took the piece of paper in her hand. She took a deep breath and said to Qinchuan, "Wait for me for a moment!"
After saying that, Kelly got up and went to close the store's door. She hung up the 'temporarily closed' sign and then turned to Qinchuan and said, "Follow me to the back."
Qinchuan didn't hesitate and followed behind Kelly into the store's backyard. At this time, if he showed any hesitation or timidity, it might be suspected by Kelly. Therefore, even if there was really any danger in the backyard, he had to show a fearless appearance.
This kind of risk was something that he had to take!
Kelly walked into her bedroom and soon came out with an AI. She placed the AI on the table and said to Qinchuan, "I will send the names of these two talisman arrays to the City Lord's Mansion. As long as the City Lord's Mansion accepts it, you will immediately receive a bonus of five hundred thousand."
"Oh right."
Kelly took a deep look at Qinchuan and added, "I specially prepared a high-grade cultivation resource worth a million today. It is in the cabinet outside. I will bring it to you later."
Qinchuan was stunned when he heard that. He asked in confusion, "Why is it a million?"
He clearly only had a bonus of five hundred thousand. How could he afford a high-grade cultivation resource worth a million? Could it be that there was some secret in this transaction that he didn't know?
"You can't be thinking that it only costs five hundred thousand to invite a third-grade talisman array master, right?"
Kelly chuckled and explained to Qinchuan, "I guess that this bonus of five hundred thousand is just a meeting gift. After this, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely invite your grandfather to be a guest. Whether your grandfather goes or not, the City Lord's Mansion will prepare a big gift for me to pass to your grandfather. When the time comes, this big gift will definitely fall into your hands. Moreover, I will also receive an extremely generous reward through this transaction. That extra five hundred thousand high-grade cultivation resource is just a small token of my appreciation. Don't reject it."
