I have a city in another world

Chapter 6871 Spokesperson and Contract Mark
The man in black robes opened his eyes wide, staring at the female elf before him, a flicker of doubt and anger in his eyes.

He simply couldn't understand why this alien race, whom he had rescued and was preparing to sell as a slave, dared to stand so brazenly in front of him.

Although he rescued them, it doesn't mean he was a kind person; he kept the elves around for another purpose.

If needed, they can act without hesitation and without any pity.

Just now, the thought had flashed through his mind: should he kill all the elves?

After all, a group of elves had witnessed the whole process and learned the truth about Chopper's death.

Keeping them alive could be detrimental to the black-robed cultivator; killing them all would prevent them from spreading rumors.

Thinking this to himself, he noticed that the female elf's expression grew increasingly serious, even revealing a hint of majesty.

She went from a plain-looking girl to a wealthy lady in an instant. She was still the same person, and her face was still the same, but her temperament had completely changed.

The black-robed cultivator was surprised, then suddenly realized something, and his expression instantly turned serious.

Sure enough, the next second, the female elf spoke in a trembling and serious voice, saying things that were inconsistent with her identity.

"If you want to live, you must obediently follow orders and not do anything futile."

I could kill you as easily as crushing an ant.

As soon as she finished speaking, the female elf pointed.

A large tree not far away was instantly engulfed in flames, radiating a chillingly high temperature.

The large tree was charred and burned at an extremely fast speed in the raging flames, and an unknown animal was caught in the flames and turned into charcoal in the blink of an eye.

The terrifying flames caused everyone present to gasp in shock. They had all seen flames before, but never such a terrifying raging fire, with temperatures that were simply astonishing.

The thought of those flames falling on them sent chills down everyone's spines.

The elves standing nearby were equally astonished by the female elf's behavior.

I can hardly believe that my companion has such extraordinary abilities.

The black-robed monk understood perfectly well that the attack had nothing to do with the female elf; it must have come from the being he could not see.

Such terrifying power is enough to instantly kill a high-level expert.

The black-robed cultivator knew in his heart that he absolutely could not withstand such an attack; once he encountered it, he would be reduced to ashes.

At that moment, he felt incredibly fortunate for his decisive choice; otherwise, he would probably have been reduced to ashes long ago.

Looking at the female elf now, there was no longer any contempt, but rather undisguised respect.

The female elf's ability to speak for the strong is akin to a hen transforming into a phoenix, making her someone he dares not provoke.

"Thank you, Your Excellency. I will obey your orders!"

At this moment, saying anything more is pointless and useless, since a few words cannot gain trust.

To reassure a hidden powerhouse, the only way is to demonstrate through action, first stabilize the situation, and then devise a long-term plan.

The black-robed cultivator may not be willing to accept this situation, but he knows how to act according to circumstances. Once he gets out of his current predicament, he will have a lot of room to maneuver.

Whether Tang Zhen will control him or he will control Tang Zhen by then remains to be seen.

The black-robed cultivator thought himself clever, but he underestimated the methods of the strong. How could one completely control a person with just a few words of intimidation?

When he pledged his loyalty to Tang Zhen and declared his willingness to go through fire and water, he suddenly felt a burning sensation on his arm.

The black-robed cultivator was taken aback and quickly examined the burn, only to discover a peculiar mark on his skin.

"This is... a mark of rules!"

Upon seeing the mark, the black-robed cultivator was slightly taken aback, then his face turned ashen.

He recognized it as a mark of contract, signifying that a verbal promise must be kept.

Anyone who dares to disobey the rules will be punished and suffer a fate worse than death. Unless absolutely necessary, no one is willing to sign a rule-based contract, as that would be tantamount to putting shackles on themselves.

He was both shocked and angry, but dared not show it, and had to force a smile.

Tang Zhen clearly saw the black-robed cultivator's contorted appearance and knew what the guy was planning.

By using a rule contract to restrict this guy, we can prevent those messy thoughts from arising.

This rule contract is very expensive, and some people will definitely think it's not worth it to use it on a high-level wizard apprentice.

In the current situation, using rules and contracts as a guarantee is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice.

Tang Zhen has no shortage of money at the moment.

Previously, when purchasing supplies, Tang Zhen casually bought dozens of rule scrolls and threw them directly into his storage equipment.

Originally, I thought I would replicate it to add a business item to my own building complex, but I never expected it to come in handy at this moment.

Although Tang Zhen was severely injured and his cultivation was sealed, he was still able to open his storage equipment.

Activating the rule scroll is not a difficult task; even ordinary people without magic power can do it.

Fortunately, the contents of the storage equipment are completely invisible to outsiders, otherwise they would definitely be tempted to steal them.

The storage equipment that Tang Zhen displayed, though containing ordinary items, was worth as much as the total wealth of a small family.

It's like a mobile treasure trove; how could it not attract covetous eyes?

Tang Zhen instructed the female elf to inquire about the black-robed cultivator's origins and the purpose of this operation.

Understand the specific situation and plan for the next steps, rather than rashly facing the unknown.

The more disadvantaged you are, the more cautious you must be, because you cannot afford to make mistakes.

During the questioning, a snake-like thing slowly approached; it was a magical artifact that had been lurking and hiding nearby.

The tree was instantly destroyed by the attack launched by the magical artifact, requiring only a single command from Tang Zhen.

The destructive power of a spiritual weapon is far beyond that of an ordinary magic treasure; cultivators of the level of the black-robed cultivator would never have the chance to witness it on a normal day.

Using a magical artifact of this caliber to intimidate a mere high-level wizard apprentice is indeed a waste of its potential.

However, the operation was indeed quite effective. Judging from the black-robed cultivator's appearance, he dared not have any other thoughts at this moment.

Intimidating the black-robed cultivators was only one of Tang Zhen's goals; he also wanted to take the opportunity to see what he was capable of doing.

The answer was satisfactory; although his cultivation was sealed, he was still able to do many things.

Having confirmed this, Tang Zhen felt even more at ease. The numerous items in his storage equipment were his confidence in the face of danger and unexpected events.

At this moment, the black-robed cultivator had already explained his origins.

His extraordinary organization has been hunted and wanted by the Wizarding Alliance for years, and has been on the run all over the place.

It is said that this organization has a powerful backer behind it, providing continuous funding for its operations.

Without the support of powerful backers, this organization would not have survived to this day, let alone continuously recruit new members.

The black-robed monk's purpose in this operation was to gather the elves in preparation for a larger plan.

The black-robed cultivator was unaware of the specifics of the plan, nor was he qualified to know given his status and position.

As planned, driver Chopper would drive everyone to a secret location to meet up.

Now that Chopper is dead, the original plan has been affected, and the black-robed monk is unsure of what to do next.

After the black-robed cultivator finished speaking, he remained silent and stood quietly to the side, awaiting further instructions.

Compared to his previous fear, the black-robed cultivator was now much more at ease. That expensive rule contract could not possibly be used on someone who was about to die.

The use of the rule contract indicates that he has a chance to live, but how long he can live depends on future circumstances.
