Chapter 791: Chapter 471: The Great Black Heavenly Buddhas
Watching the city-protecting array being fixed, the Deputy City Lord naturally was overjoyed. He truly had been worried sick; this indeed was a blessing in disguise.
Then he looked at the several dozen array masters beside him, his eyes brimming with contempt. Compared to Logan, these array masters were simply not up to par.
Logan alone had resolved the problem, while these people had researched for more than a day and were completely helpless, even going so far as to kick Logan when he was down.
Fortunately, he had been a bit smarter and hadn’t been led astray by their slick talk; otherwise, what if he had really driven Logan away? Who would repair the city-protecting array?
The Deputy City Lord walked up to Logan, saying most earnestly, “You are the benefactor of Heavenly Moon City. Come with me to the City Lord’s Mansion; I will report this matter in detail to the City Lord.”
“What about the promised one million top-grade spirit stones?” Logan coughed and asked. He was now desperately in need of spirit stones. Risking the consequences of offending others, he had fixed the array. He eagerly wanted to get his hands on one million top-grade spirit stones, otherwise in case of any mishaps, he would be devastated.
“The top-grade spirit stones will certainly be given. Heavenly Moon City has always been known for its credibility. Moreover, since I just mentioned doubling the amount, naturally, I will provide two million top-grade spirit stones. However, I don’t have so many on me at the moment. You still need to come to the City Lord’s Mansion with me, and the City Lord will give you additional rewards.”
The Deputy City Lord was very kind to Logan. Not only was he the savior of Heavenly Moon City, but he was also such a young Grandmaster Formation Master, worthy of everyone’s respect.
Logan hesitated. After all, he was alone and weak. What if he encountered danger at the City Lord’s Mansion? He wasn’t worried about people like William taking action, for it was just one million top-grade spirit stones, and moreover, every citizen already knew about it; dishonorable acts that would ruin one’s reputation were definitely out of the question.
What he feared was that the City Lord and others wouldn’t let him go. After all, a Grandmaster Formation Master would definitely be sought after, and if they failed to persuade him, they might unavoidably resort to other methods. Logan was well aware; no matter how good the character of the City Lord and others, they were, after all, dealing with a Grandmaster Formation Master.
“Now that you’ve demonstrated your strength, I fear that within half a day’s time, all the nearby powers will become aware. They’ll try every means to take you back to their sects and might even want to remove you swiftly. Once a Grandmaster Formation Master joins another power, it would be a disaster for them.”
Seeing Logan’s concerns, the Deputy City Lord continued, “Going to the City Lord’s Mansion is your best option. We won’t force you to stay. If you don’t want to, after receiving the top-grade spirit stones, we will assign someone to escort you out of Heavenly Moon City. I definitely mean no malice. Otherwise, there would be no need for me to say so much.”
“Alright then,” Logan finally nodded. His current situation was indeed not optimistic, and he could only trust the Deputy City Lord. After all, he had helped them with such a big favor; unless absolutely necessary, they surely wouldn’t harm him. So, staying with them, he could have an extra layer of protection.
As for the thousands of onlookers, their mockery of Logan at the beginning had now all turned into envy. This was a Grandmaster-level array master, after all, and in the entire Outer Domain, there were only a few such individuals, all of whom had lived for thousands of years. Where would you find someone as young as Logan? Everyone could see that Logan had a limitless future.
Now that he had made connections with the City Lord’s Mansion, as the City Lord was always very generous with talents, his status in Heavenly Moon City might step up to be second only to the City Lord himself. If they hadn’t ridiculed Logan just now, perhaps they could have approached him to make a good connection for themselves.
It was a pity they held themselves too high and mighty, but it wasn’t entirely their fault either. It was those several dozen array masters who were too incompetent, leading them to believe Logan was inadequate. The several dozen array masters, already in low spirits, heard the surrounding discussions and their faces turned from green to white with embarrassment.
After arriving at the City Lord’s Mansion, Logan was arranged to stay in a side hall. “Wait here for a moment, I’ll go report to the City Lord. If you need anything, feel free to ask the servants,” said the Deputy City Lord.
After a few words, the Deputy City Lord hurriedly left. Logan sat there nervously, just hoping the City Lord was a good person who would let him leave safely.
The City Lord was already overwhelmed with the matters of the Grand Martial Tournament, but he allowed the Deputy City Lord to come in. The Deputy City Lord then recounted the situation with the city-protecting array, which was incredible for the City Lord.
“The city-protecting array has really been fixed? I had no hope for those array masters in the city; that’s why I had specially made contact to invite a Grandmaster Level array master, even offering a few million top-grade spirit stones as bait. It would have taken several days to return; who would have thought it’s all been resolved?”
The City Lord, looking at the Deputy City Lord, said, “That is the city-protecting array, which has been inherited here for more than ten thousand years. It was originally created by the joint efforts of several Grandmaster array masters, and its current cracks, though seemingly minor, must not be underestimated, likely only a Grandmaster could have dealt with them.”
“Indeed, it was a young man. His skill level should be of a Grandmaster grade. In any case, the array has indeed been completely restored, as I watched the entire process at his side,” affirmed the Deputy City Lord.
The Deputy City Lord nodded and continued, “City Lord, however, we have to give two million top-grade spirit stones to the individual. That’s a decision I can’t make, so I need you to give the order.”
“If the individual has indeed resolved the city-protecting array, he is also our benefactor in Heavenly Moon City. A few million spirit stones is a small price to pay. Just take them from the mansion’s reserves. I’ll come and meet the young man in a while, have a good chat with him. If he truly is of Grandmaster level, we definitely must extend an offer,” said the City Lord.
