Panlong, starting from becoming Lin Lei's golden finger

Chapter 123 Adkins' Recruitment (Please Subscribe)

Adkins does not live in the city lord's mansion.

After Linley and Delin left the city lord's mansion, they were greeted by an old man with silver hair and wearing an earth-yellow robe.

"You two must be Captain Linley and Captain Delin, right?"

The silver-haired old man greeted Lin Lei and Delin with a smile on his face.

"I am Bernas, Lord Adkins' butler. Adkins is waiting for you both at the mansion. Please follow me."

With that, the silver-haired old man led the way.

Linley and Delin exchanged a glance, and in the end followed.

Adkins's mansion was not far from the city lord's mansion, and it was not small in size. There were two mid-level god guards outside the gate.

Upon seeing Bernas, the two mid-level gods quickly stepped forward to greet him, but Bernas merely nodded slightly.

Linley and Delin followed him into the mansion and eventually met Adkins in the backyard.

When Linley and Delin arrived, Adkins was embracing a female Sanctuary.

Adkins, dressed in a long gold robe, looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slight smile on his face.

"You two must be Linley and Delin, right?" Adkins took a sip of the wine the female sanctuary had offered him. "My name is Adkins, and I'm your superior. From now on, I'll be in charge of arranging your patrol duties, understand?"

"clear!"

Lin Lei and Delin nodded slightly.

However, I also had some doubts.

Did they summon the two of them just to talk about this?

Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?

"This is Lord Qinghuo's city. Lord Qinghuo has many things to do every day."

Adkins continued speaking.

"So, if anything happens in the city in the future, just report it to me directly. There's no need to bother Lord Qinghuo, understand?"

Adkins' words caused Linley and Delin's expressions to change slightly.

What does this mean?

But neither of them dared to say no.

A radiant aura emanated from Adkins, enveloping Linley and Delin.

The powerful aura completely suppressed Linley and Delin.

In the end, the two had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Very good." Adkins was pleased with Linley and Delin's pragmatism. "These are two Soul Gold Beads, my reward for you two."

As Adkins spoke, he gave Bernard a look.

Bernas quickly stepped forward and handed Linley and Delin each a Soul Gold Bead.

Looking at the Soul Gold Bead in their hands, Linley and Delin both felt it was burning hot.

Is Adkins going to betray Qinghuo?

They just wanted to find a safe place to cultivate, why is it so difficult?

Lin Lei and Delin were lost in thought, but they didn't show it on their faces.

Fortunately, Adkins did not dwell on the topic and simply let Linley and Delin leave.

"Young Master Adkins," Bernas said, watching Linley and Delin's departing figures, somewhat puzzled, "Are we just letting them go like that? What if they report this to Lord Qinghuo?"

"It's alright." Adkins waved his hand dismissively. "Qinghuo doesn't care about these things. Becoming the city lord is just something he does on a whim. He only cares about cultivation. As long as I don't openly rebel, he won't pay any attention to me."

After Adkins finished speaking, he turned to look at the back door not far away.

The back door opened, and two figures walked in.

One of the figures, with short purple hair and silver armor, was one of the five-star demons dispatched by Odin.

If Lin Lei were here, he would definitely recognize the other person as the Lord of Qing Shi City, whom he had killed back then.

"How is it?" Adkins asked. "Is this the person you're looking for?"

"That's right, Lord Adkins." The purple-haired five-star demon nodded hurriedly. "Lord Odin is looking for him. All you need to do is send him out of the city, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

"Hmph~" Adkins sneered, "Tell Odin that within ten thousand years, not a single one of the thirty thousand Soul Gold Beads can be missing."

After saying that, Adkins ignored the two of them and continued to enjoy himself in the female sanctuary.

The purple-haired five-star demon and Huyan did not linger and quickly left Adkins's mansion.

Outside Qinghuo City, Odin's face was full of smiles after hearing the report from his subordinates.

"Good, you did well." Odin looked at the purple-haired subordinate's clone with satisfaction. "After this is over, I will reward you with one hundred Soul Gold Orbs."

"Thank you, sir." The purple-haired clone looked delighted. "But sir, did you agree to Adkins's request for the Soul Pearl?"

"Hmph, he's dreaming." Odin sneered. "Once I obtain the power of the main god and kill Qinghuo, I'll make Adkins kneel before me and beg me to take back the deal. What soul pearl? Unless he wants to die."

Odin's face was filled with murderous intent.

Adkins was unaware that he had helped Odin, but Odin had no intention of paying him.

He would never know that Odin's search for Linley was no small matter; it concerned the power of the chief god.

Otherwise, Adkins would never have let Odin take action.

Instead, he did it himself.

With the power of the main god, although he could not defeat Qinghuo, it would not be difficult for him to break away from Qinghuo City.

Meanwhile, Linley and Delin returned to the city lord's mansion and began thinking about reporting Adkins's matter.

However, both Qinghuo and his two older brothers were in seclusion.

Even if Linley and Delin wanted to report it, there was no one to listen.

Left with no other choice, Linley and Delin had to keep the matter a secret for the time being.

As for a golden bead of the soul.

It's somewhat of a double-edged sword for both Linley and Delin.

In the original story, after Lin Lei entered the Supreme Dimension, he relied on the Panlong Ring to continuously refine amethyst for hundreds of years before he could raise his soul to its limit.

There is no difference in the amount of soul essence contained in amethyst and soul gold beads.

However, for most gods, amethyst is too difficult to refine, unlike the Soul Gold Bead which can be directly absorbed.

In other words, for a mid-level god, to grow to the limit of the soul by continuously absorbing soul gold beads, an astronomical number is needed; one or two beads are simply a drop in the ocean.

For most gods, the only way to restore their souls is through time.

As long as you live long enough, your soul will always be restored.

However, Linley, back in the secret chamber, became interested as he felt the soul gold bead being refined after he swallowed it.

"Brother Lin Ke," Lin Lei communicated with Lin Ke within the system space, "do you have any exchangeable items that can enhance the soul?"

"Yes, and there are quite a few. I've added them to the store; you can check them out yourself."

Lin Ke's voice rang in Lin Lei's mind, but then disappeared.

Lin Ke has recently been trying to directly transplant the laws of other worlds into the Panlong world.

We've reached the most critical moment, so I didn't chat with Lin Lei.

Lin Lei couldn't wait to open the system store.
