"This master-servant contract is to leave us a way out."
Li Zheng explained, "In the future, when the ti is ripe, I will annul the contract and let you go."
Speaking, he pointed at Mirel and said, "Like Mirel, we signed this contract before, and recently I'm preparing to give her a complete Outer City resident identity, but the expense is too high and hasn't been sorted out yet."
"Oh, right."
Saying this, he suddenly rembered sothing very important: "When you go to the Outer City, it's best to take all your valuable items with you. If there are any old players left, keep the items in their personal space. Once in the Outer City, your descendants will all need to obtain an Outer City resident Inscription Card, requiring a very large amount of money, otherwise you'll be unregistered and not protected by Outer City law."
Not only will you not be protected by Outer City law, but you also won't have access to so regular facilities.
Such as Teleportation Gates, Task Halls... these sorts of places.
The earliest players from the three races won't have to worry; after they go, they just need to authenticate their identity, and it won't be a problem.
Li Zheng consulted with Zi Yuan about the cost of getting an Inscription Card, and it costs five hundred Red Crystal Coins without a discount.
Given his current wealth, five hundred Red Crystal Coins is just a small number.
But the three races have nearly nine hundred thousand people altogether, and getting each person an Inscription Card adds up to an astronomical figure, just thinking about it makes Li Zheng's scalp tingle.
"You don't have to worry about this," said the Black Dragon Race Patriarch, "Over the years, those in our three races with ability often go to the Sin Domain and have accumulated a lot of energy-draining Magic Crystals, which should be worth a lot after exchanging them."
He didn't say how much.
But seeing the expressions of the three leaders, that number must be much larger than he imagined.
"Then I'm reassured." Li Zheng nodded, "First, sign the contract, and then have people line up to receive the Teleportation Discs. Once in the Outer City, the destination is the fourth district, where the person in charge is from my race; just ntion my na."
"Hmm." The Black Dragon Race Patriarch signaled to Mo Li, "Sign it, the future of our race depends on you."
Mo Li looked at the contract in her hand, collected her relaxed deanor, and solemnly said, "Rest assured, Patriarch, I will definitely arrange everything for our people and will not disappoint you."
The Black Dragon Race Patriarch stroked his beard, smiled with satisfaction, and said no more, standing to the side, slightly behind Mo Li.
Seeing this, Li Zheng imdiately understood why they had called Mo Li and the girl Anan out earlier; it was to hand over the responsibility of leadership to them.
The gray-haired woman spoke, "Anan, once you're in the Outer City, be cautious. If there's ever anything you can't decide on your own, ask the elders for guidance, understood?"
"Don't worry, great-grandmother." Anan's eyes glistened with tears: "Anan will not fail in her duties!"
The Blood Queen looked at Dan Fenglai with a complex expression but did not speak before Dan Fenglai interrupted, "Grandmother, I won't sign! I don't want to go to the Outer City! I want to stay here with you!"
The Blood Queen's face changed, angrily saying, "Nonsense! This isn't up to you. I've handed the Blood Race over to your aunt as acting leader, and when you grow more mature, you'll take over."
"I don't want to!" Dan Fenglai, in tears: "Wherever grandmother goes, I go. If grandmother doesn't go to the Outer City, I won't either!"
The Blood Queen took a deep breath, suppressing the rising fury inside her, "Do you intend to ignore the lives of the other clansn?"
"I don't care, I just want grandmother..."
Smack!
A resounding slap left Dan Fenglai stunned on the ground, holding her face, feeling wronged.
"You brat!" The Blood Queen was so angry her chest heaved, her eyes nearly spitting fire, "How dare you... you can say such nonsense! You'll sign this contract whether you want to or not, or else don't recognize as your grandmother!"
"Grandmother..." Dan Fenglai cried.
"Are you signing or not?!" The Blood Queen's almond-shaped eyes were wide open, "I'll give you three seconds to think! One!"
"Two!"
As she counted down, the Blood Queen lifted her pale fingers, her tone brooking no argunt. If Dan Fenglai persisted in her stubbornness when the countdown ended, she would indeed disown Dan Fenglai as she claid.
"I'll sign!" Dan Fenglai shed tears as she left her fingerprint on the contract.
"Good child." The Blood Queen embraced her, her voice softening as she said, "Grandmother also can't bear to be apart from you, but for the future of our clan, so things must be done no matter how unwilling we are.
In the future, you must beco an outstanding leader. You mustn't spoil the younger generation as grandmother has spoiled you. As a leader, sotis you have to be firm, understand?"
"Mm." Dan Fenglai nodded vigorously in the Blood Queen's embrace, sobbing.
The other two had already signed the agreent while they were arguing.
Li Zheng put away the three agreents, contacted the Terminal, and submitted them.
Then, a large number of Teleportation Discs appeared out of thin air in his capsule, instantly filling the remaining space.
He poured them out while they continued to fill his capsule.
The spilled teleportation discs poured down like a waterfall.
Over eight hundred thousand teleportation discs, taking a whole fifteen minutes to pour out, piled into mountains on the open ground.
"Each person takes one, just take it and go." The Black Dragon Race elder commanded his clansn behind him.
Then, he, the Blood Queen, and the gray-haired woman from the Suffering Race stood aside, watching the endless mbers of their clans.
They had waited a long ti for this day, and now it had finally co true.
Li Zheng saw those people orderly step forward to take the teleportation discs, one by one activating the discs and then disappearing without the slightest chaos.
He walked to the side of the three forr leaders, seeing no remorse in their eyes but rather an expression of relief.
Li Zheng did not disturb them and just quietly stood with them, accompanying them as they watched their clansn enter the Outer City one by one.
Even though the speed of the three clans' mbers was fast, this process lasted until a full night, and by the next morning, the last mber of the Suffering Race successfully used the teleportation disc to enter the Outer City.
On the scene only Li Zheng, his nominal wives, Little Sakura, and the three forr leaders remained.
Li Zheng said to Mo Li, "You all should go first, being familiar with the Outer City, take Dan Fenglai and Anan to help the other clans with their identity inscription cards, I still need to go to the Gravity Research Institute, I can't go with you all."
"Okay." Mo Li and others turned and took a deep look at their elders, activated the teleportation discs, and left.
Li Zheng put the last teleportation disc in Little Sakura's hand, and then asked the three forr leaders, "Having accomplished your wishes, what are your plans now?"
"We'll go where we should go."
The three forr leaders looked at each other and spoke together.
"Where you should go?" Li Zheng was puzzled.
The Black Dragon Race elder said, "You don't seem like you're in a rush, why not co with us for a walk and let us show you why we choose this place as the base?"
"Sure." Li Zheng thought, having been out for so long, it would take a while to go back to the Outer City and reach the Gravity Research Institute, so there was no hurry.
"Follow us."
After speaking, the Black Dragon Race elder turned and led Li Zheng and the others further into the mountains.
Two hours later, the group arrived at the edge of a canyon emitting strange fluctuations.
"The young one's spiritual power is weak, let's send her off first, it's not suitable for her to go down there," the Black Dragon Race elder reminded.
Li Zheng felt the strange fluctuations and knew what kind of place it was.
He gently shook his head and said, "No need, I can protect her."
As he spoke, a mighty spiritual power surged out, forming a barrier around Little Sakura and Mirel.
Feeling that powerful spiritual power, which evoked a feeling of worship even within their hearts, the three forr leaders' faces changed: "So strong!"
"I didn't expect you to possess such terrifying spiritual power." The Blood Queen lowered her brow, "Thinking back on how I took you all hostage before, that seems quite ridiculous now."
Without ntioning anything else, just this spiritual power alone was enough to retreat with Mirel entirely from the Blood Race's team she was leading at that ti.
Li Zheng managed to squeeze out a smile, quietly withdrawing so spiritual power to reduce the output, enduring the pain caused by the splitting wound on his back: "It's just a minor skill, not worth ntioning."
He released such strong spiritual power, even at the cost of tearing open his flesh on his back, just to get over the frustration of being held hostage by the Blood Queen before.
Now that his purpose had been achieved, he naturally didn't need to be at odds with himself anymore, swiftly reducing the pressure on himself, secretly swallowing so healing dicine.
"With such spiritual power as protection, the young one can be safe, let's go down then."
The Black Dragon Race elder took the lead, stepping out into the gorge and descended downward.
In an instant, his figure disappeared into the thick black mist at the bottom of the canyon.
The Blood Queen and the gray-haired woman followed closely, Li Zheng also spread the Demon Thunder Wings, taking Mirel and Little Sakura with him.
After descending for an unknown duration, they finally reached the bottom, making contact with the ground.
Upon arriving here, Li Zheng instantly felt an unprecedented impulse from the surrounding environnt.
An impulse to feast.
An impulse to devour everything in sight.
Little Sakura patted her small belly and exclaid, "Daddy, hungry, food!"
Li Zheng's spiritual power shook abruptly, snapping him out of the state, he looked around, visibly moved: "This is... the Gluttony Sin Domain!"
