Chapter 715: Chapter 654 Difficulty of Replication Increases (Two in One)

Every second ticked by in this stifling ambiance, and the collective heartbeat of the gathered crowd seemed to halt.

However, keeping in mind the young charmer’s instructions, none dared to break the silence, patiently awaiting the City Lord to continue his speech.

"You all did well," he remarked.

Seeing these five adventurers cooperating so effectively, the City Lord’s face beamed, "You surpass my good-for-nothing younger brother in substance. Oh, speak up. What brings you here this time?"

Only then did the charming young man step forward, humbly stating, "Sir, we have come for the citizens of Cloud City."

Holy cow, what a damn good reason!

A twitch tugged at the corner of Su Ran’s mouth involuntarily.

"The citizens? My subjects?"

The fiery red eyebrows upon the City Lord’s forehead rose slightly as he glanced at the charming young man in mild surprise, "Go on."

"Sir, we are newcomers here, and we saw Cloud City in trouble. United, we were able to break the city’s seal. But after entering, we discovered there is not a single soul. It’s practically a ghost town! Although Cloud City was sealed, it’s not a city trapped by death. We have come here to seek justice for its citizens!"

Without any consideration for the City Lord’s status, the charming young man voiced his anger, already drawing his wand. The teammates behind him took a unified step forward, their collective force bracing against the City Lord’s powerful aura.

Su Ran also took a step forward, falling in line. He knew that he was there simply to make up the numbers. He greatly admired the charming young man, wondering how he managed to prepare so much dialogue without irritating the City Lord, a non-player character, while also being able to take on subsequent side quests. He was truly extraordinary.

Once the charming young man finished talking, the City Lord fell silent, his face as deep as still water, leaving Su Ran clueless about his thoughts.

"Ha ha, ha ha ha!"

Suddenly, the City Lord roared in laughter, thundering out into the room like an explosion.

This abrupt laughter startled Su Ran, but when he noticed the nonchalant expressions on his teammates’ faces, he realized that they were well used to such occurrences, and it’d be surprising if they were startled!

Well, even he would have grown a layer of callus in his ears by now....

Su Ran cleared his throat, quickly regaining his earlier poised composure and stood upright.

"Young adventurers, your sense of justice is heartening. It’s not justice that’s lacking in this world, it’s people courageous enough to stand up for it! You are indeed commendable!"

The City Lord spoke congenially, his fiery red eyebrows trembling, indicating his great satisfaction.

"Let me assure you all that my citizens were relocated to a hidden location when the city was sealed. Don’t worry about that. Now that Cloud City is once again bathed in sunlight, it’s time to let my people return!"

The City Lord paused in contemplation, fingers rhythmically tapping on the table. Once he made up his mind, his eyes burned bright as he bellowed, "Where’s my younger brother!? Come out and show yourself!"

Su Ran was startled once again.

Damn, people with a weak heart would be in danger due to these sudden outbursts, acting like a trigger for a heart attack!

Stabilizing his nerves, Su Ran mentally cursed the City Lord’s entire female lineage over and over again.

"Big brother, you called me?"

A muscular man wielding a double-ax strode in. As soon as he noticed the extra faces in the room, he snapped into a fighting stance, his axes crossed in front of him. He looked ready to swing his axes at any moment.

"Impudence, stop this at once! These are our guests, treat them courteously!"

The City Lord slammed his hand onto the table, the loud crash echoed through their ears.

Su Ran felt his nerves had turned numb, even if the City Lord was to scream his lungs out, he wouldn’t feel a thing now.

This bastard, so freaking outrageous!!!

"Yes, big brother! I was rude earlier, please have a seat, honored guests!"

The double axes in the younger brother’s hands vanished instantly. With a wave of his hand, clouds rose from the ground and formed five stools in a row.

"Thank you, sir."

The charming young man took the lead and occupied the nearest stool, with the others following suit. Su Ran hesitated slightly, glanced at the City Lord’s facial expression, and finally took the last stool.

Oh?

Su Ran discovered, to his surprise, that the cloud-made stool was extremely comfortable! It was soft and gentle, bringing a refreshing comfort to his buttocks.

Even passing gas might puncture a hole in this stool...

"Now that my younger brother has arrived, I have two things to share," the City Lord began after a brief pause. As he slowly rose from his seat, he directed his words at the sturdy man, "These adventurers have helped break the City’s seal, which deserves a reward! What do you think would be a suitable reward for them?"

"Big brother, breaking the city’s seal is a significant contribution! In my opinion, bestowing them with some gold and silver would suffice."

The younger brother offered his suggestion without a second’s hesitation.

"Vulgar, incredibly vulgar!"

The City Lord huffed dismissively, "Never mind, I’ll ask them directly."

"Adventurers, what do you think would be a suitable gift? Speak your minds, don’t hold back!"

"No need to hold back? Well, that’s generous of you, Your Lordship. As you have great wealth and no worry about sustenance, naturally you wouldn’t care for such worldly possessions! How about this then, give me a ton or two of gold and silver. Even if it’s vulgar, I’ll accept it."
