Mortal Epic of Douluo

That night, Pancheng Wuhun Hall branched into another hall.

"Young man, it's already dark. If you have anything to do, come back tomorrow." An old man who looked to be about 60 to [-] years old blocked Atreus from the Spirit Hall and said to him with a smile.

Atreus briefly inspected the old man and found that he was just an ordinary person, and there were a few obvious patches on his clothes, which made Atreus a little confused.

"Old man, please inform the head of your branch hall that there are guests from Wuhun City visiting." After saying that, Atreus handed over a token. It was the token Bibi Dong gave him. In addition to the angel pattern symbolizing the Wuhun Palace, there is also a chrysanthemum and a vague figure, representing the identity of the Golden Butler of the Law Enforcement Palace.

"Ah! Wait a moment!" The old man was suddenly surprised. In the decades he has been guarding the Pancheng Wuhun Branch Hall, he has never seen an envoy from the Holy City. The most outsiders he has seen are A lay deacon sent from the Lord's Temple in Calgary.Although I am not sure of the identity of the young man in front of me, it is always right to report it. Whether it is true or not will be judged by the person in charge.

Not long after, a middle-aged man walked out quickly. Before Atreus could say hello, the middle-aged man bowed respectfully: "Sebas, the head of the Pan City branch hall, has seen the people in the Holy City." The envoy, I didn’t know that the envoy was coming, but he was too far away... Huh?"

Sebas didn't look carefully before, but now he took a closer look. Is the Golden Butler of the Law Enforcement Palace a little too young?

Atreus smiled and said hello: "Hello, Master Sebas, I am Atreus."

"Atreus, aren't you...?" Pan City is remote, but not isolated from the world. Naturally, there are rumors about the Pope recruiting disciples. Although Sebas has never seen it, But I have always heard the name Atreus.

Atreus still smiled and said: "Master Sebas, if a guest comes, should we just let the guest stand outside?"

"Hi, I really... come in, come in!" Sebas smiled awkwardly, and quickly turned sideways to let Atreus in. He asked the old man guarding the door to make a pot of good tea, and then led Ah Tris went up to the second floor.

In the past, Atreus rarely entered the lowest-level Wuhun branch. The first time he entered the Wuhun temple was in the Borno sub-hall. Later, after being brought to the capital of Haagen-Dazs, Bloomington, by Leonid, he came into contact with it. It is the higher-level Wuhun main hall.

The first feeling that Atreus had in this Wuhun Branch Hall was that it was simple, which could even be described as "shabby".The majority of funding sources for Wuhun Palaces at all levels come from higher-level allocations. Although Wuhun Palaces are as rich as any country, there are many Wuhun Palaces at all levels in the world, so the amount of funding naturally has standards.

For example, the lowest level of martial arts branch hall, how much funding can be obtained, the most important thing is to see how many children with soul master qualifications can be attracted by the branch hall personnel to join the martial arts hall during the free martial soul awakening period for the children of urban and rural residents. .

The Spirit Hall has never been a pure charity. It awakens martial spirits for civilians for free. Its main purposes are twofold: to maintain civilians' faith in angel gods and to cultivate enough reserve spirit masters to maintain competitiveness.

And the Pancheng Wuhun branch where he is currently has obviously not received sufficient funds for a long time. Unless the leader Sebas in front of him is a corrupt person, he even dares to embezzle the funds to renovate the branch. .

Naturally, there won't be any masters in a martial soul branch hall at the lowest level. The leader Sebas in front of me is probably a 36-level-30 soul master. I think the innate soul power is only one or two levels, and he can barely reach it before he is [-] years old. It's just a Soul Sect. It would be great to be able to break through the Soul Sect in this life.

After some more mental exploration, Atreus found a total of four soul masters in this branch hall, two of whom were old and great soul masters, probably no different from Yu Xiaogang.There is only one great soul master who is around 20 years old and is about level 27 or [-]. His talent is neither high nor low. If he keeps practicing hard, he should be able to get close to the Soul King at Sebas's age.

Atreus finally understood why Pan City's Wuhun branch was so "crude". There wasn't even a soul sect in the temple. How much say could it have in Pan City's territory?

It is also a Wuhun branch. The Pancheng Wuhun branch is not much different from the Notting City branch, which is also a branch. Although the staffing of the latter is closer to Wuhun City, even if their strength is not strong, the latter is closer to Wuhun City. , but still able to overwhelm the local nobles and soul master families with force.

But like Pancheng, a corner far away from the Emperor of Zhongshan, there are rich mineral and forest resources that attract powerful soul master families to take root here. It is strange that this sub-temple is better.

I thought I could rely on my status to win over the people from Pancheng Wuhun Branch as allies, but looking at this situation, I am afraid that not only will they not get help, but Atreus will have to help them in turn.

Arriving at Sebastian's office, Atreus, who had explored the situation thoroughly, gave up the draft he had prepared before and went straight to the point: "Chief Sebastian, since the teacher accepted me as his disciple, I will automatically Please take a tassel to patrol temples located in remote areas like your Pancheng branch. Please answer the questions I am going to ask truthfully, okay?"

"..." Sebastian was obviously a little confused by Atreus's straight-to-the-point move. He was silent for a while before speaking: "It is my honor for you to come and it is the honor of the branch hall. If you have any questions, just ask, I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Atreus pointed at the old wall and said: "I think this branch hall has been in disrepair for a long time. I'm afraid it will damage the image of Wuhun Hall. Chief Sebas should have applied for funds, right? Could it be that the superiors deliberately made things difficult and refused Grant you money?"

"This..." Sebastian immediately sighed and said, "No, all the deacons in the main hall in Calgary are very talkative. The reason why this branch hall has fallen into disrepair is because I have no shame to speak!"

"Oh? Is there another hidden story? Can you tell me?"

"It's a long story. If your Majesty doesn't mind me being long-winded, I'll tell you the reasons one by one."

Atreus raised his hand and said, "Please speak."

"Pancheng was originally just a remote town a long time ago. However, due to the rich forest resources, people gradually attracted people to settle here, so it reluctantly developed into a large town with a population of more than [-]. The people at that time were simple and simple, and this branch hall Just like the branch temples in other regions, they continue to preach angelic teachings and help civilians awaken their martial souls day after day."

"Later, in the process of mining the forest, various mineral veins were gradually discovered, which attracted many outsiders to flow in. Pan City even showed signs of developing towards the level of a big city. But the good times did not last long, and there were three powerful soul masters one after another. The family settled here and used various means to occupy the mineral veins. These three major families are the Wang, Jin and Bai clans located in the east, south and west of the city respectively. They not only occupied the mineral veins, but also spent a lot of money to buy out the Beiyuan Bank. Officials at all levels in the province are integrating forest farms and annexing land, and they are committing all kinds of evil."

"At first, there were some righteous people who resisted, and some city lords who took office wanted to break their monopoly, but without exception, accidents happened. Either they were robbed by Zhang Mazi from Nanshan, or they were hijacked by the white-haired bandits from the west. Or he was attacked by a spirit beast when he was observing the sentiments of the people in the countryside..."
