He Jia was sent out of the secret chamber by the teleportation array. After returning to the stone door, he stood there for a long time. He looked up at the sun and went down the mountain with a melancholic expression.
In the City Lord's Mansion of Grace City, dozens of people were sitting in the meeting hall. The City Lord, Li Ken, was knocking on the corner of his chair and angrily said,""Where did Zhang Shenjian go? Why did he suddenly disappear? What were his guards doing? At this point, where can I find another appraiser?”The City Lord, who was originally furious that the empty land next to his City Lord's Mansion was bought for free, now had to have a headache because the only appraiser in the city was missing, and the City Lord's guard beside Zhang Shenjian was still unconscious.
"City Lord, calm down! In my opinion, there are two ways: 1. Send someone to search for Zhang Shenjian immediately. Second, I feel that we can issue a recruitment notice and hire an appraiser. There is no limit to his ability, as long as he is an appraiser.”An old man said.
"Advisor Jiang, General Ding has already carried out your first plan according to the City Lord's wishes. I don't think your second plan will succeed. It's not like you don't know that our city is special. There's only one appraiser. It's impossible for a new appraiser to be produced for us at this critical time. Based on your method, we might as well send someone to another city to secretly snatch an appraiser.”The old man in luxurious clothes sitting opposite Advisor Jiang said.
"What I mean is, if you spread the news of finding Zhang Shenjian to all the residents in the city and inform us of his whereabouts, there will be a reward!”Advisor Jiang was furious.
"Elder Lu, do you have any ideas?" City Lord Li Ken looked at the two elders and frowned. These two were always quarreling, and they were still quarreling at this juncture.
"I feel that although the chances of Old Man Jiang's two ideas are very small, as long as there's a chance, I think it's worth a try! As for snatching people, I wonder if Advisor Wen has any specific implementation plans?”Lu Binyang, the old man sitting on the left side of the City Lord, spoke.
"Allow me to think about it again. I'll report it after I've thought it through.”Staff Officer Wen was depressed. He had been too talkative back then and had no idea what to do. Now, he had to change the topic.
"Generals, send a large number of soldiers to guard the four city gates. Anyone who passes by must be checked strictly. Also, issue a ban on leaving the city. Unless it's a citizen of Grace City, no one else is allowed to leave the city without my permission. Xu Wenshi and Little Xu Wenshi, follow Advisor Jiang's instructions and issue two recruitment notices and a missing person notice. Put them up everywhere in the city. Tell them that the city is hiring appraisers with high salaries. Regardless of their rank, the treatment is the same as that of Zhang Shenjian. If anyone tells the whereabouts of Zhang Shenjian, they will be rewarded with 100 gold coins. Immediately execute it!" The City Lord stared at Advisor Wen and thought for a moment.
"Yes, sir!" The four generals and two secretaries stood up and left.
He had left his small mountain forest and wandered around the Grace City. His mind was in a mess and he didn't know how to go in the future.
"Open the door, quickly open the door! Investigate!" A group of soldiers knocked on the door of a house under the command of a general on horseback.
"Milord, no!" A soldier said to the general on horseback.
He Jia looked at it and found it strange. What happened in this city? He saw several other soldiers putting up notices next to a restaurant. After the soldiers left, a large number of people immediately gathered around.
"Brother, what do you mean?" He Jia pulled over a scholar and asked.
"It's strange that the only appraiser in the city, Zhang Shenjian, has gone missing. The city is currently searching for his whereabouts and is publicly recruiting an appraiser. If only I were an appraiser, I wouldn't have to take the examination.”The scholar shook his head and said.
"Thank you for your reminder, brother!" He Jia cupped his fists and thanked him.
Perhaps this is a way out. I wonder if there will be any problems if I go? What questions will the City Lord ask me after we meet? He Jia was drinking tea in a teahouse next to the City Lord's Mansion. In the end, He Jia left the teahouse and stood beside the small empty space that he had bought. He looked at the sky.'I don't want to die. If I want to live, I need money, strength, skills, business, and business.' He couldn't help but admire You Bailan's original arrangements. It seemed that He Jia's path was planned by her.
He had to go. He had to go. After He Jia figured out his connections, he decided to take a risk at the City Lord's Mansion.
"Who are you?" The guard of the City Lord's Estate looked at He Jia's high-grade clothes and swept a glance at him as he said coldly.
"I'm here to apply to be an appraiser." He Jia said.
"Grandmaster, please wait here. I will inform the City Lord immediately.”The guard's attitude immediately changed as he spoke respectfully. A guard immediately rushed into the manor. He Jia was instantly confused. Were appraisers really that important to the development of the city?”
"I wonder what level Master's appraisal skill is at?”A guard asked.
"I've only just entered the beginner level.”He Jia said embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter. It's fine as long as he's an appraiser. The City Lord had said that no matter what level they were, they could enjoy the treatment of Master Divine Mirror Zhang.”Another guard complimented.
"The City Lord has invited you! Grandmaster, please follow me." A guard ran out and passed He Jia in.
He Jia followed the guards through the hall, passed by the garden, turned right along the pavilion path, and came to a big house, which was the City Lord's meeting room.
"Grandmaster, please come in!" The guard pointed inside and He Jia nodded.
"Master, please sit here." City Lord Li Ken, who was wearing a black blue scholar's robe, pointed to the position on his right and said to He Jia. On his left was Elder Lu.
"Alright." He Jia didn't stand on ceremony and directly walked over. When the staff officers and soldiers saw He Jia sitting in that position, they were very jealous. Elder Lu looked at He Jia and only smiled. That was because that was the position of Great General Ding.
"I am the city lord of this city, Li Ken. May I know your name, age, and where you are from?”The City Lord asked with concern.
"I am Jin Mingcha, thirty-six years old, a resident of Grace City.”He Jia said firmly.
"I wonder if Master can introduce your family's situation, whether they have official jobs, and Master's current appraisal skill level?”The City Lord asked.
"Alright, I lived in Shengka Town with my parents in my early years. After my parents died, I returned to my hometown to visit and reminisce. There was no official job for the time being. " I'm ashamed to say that my appraisal level is very low. I only became an appraiser after ten years. After becoming an appraiser, I was troubled by many things and didn't train at all. Current Level, Basic, No Experience.”He Jia waved his hand, embarrassed.
"It's fine! Grandmaster, can you come to my study room to sit for a while? I'll come over to discuss with Grandmaster after the meeting.”The City Lord nodded and said.
"Good!" He Jia nodded, stood up, and left with the guards.
"Li Department of Revenue, how is this person? Is what you said true?" The City Lord asked.
"There's no problem with his background. He's indeed a local resident.”The Ministry of Revenue Li checked the household registration and said that there was very little information in the household registration record book. Of course, the average citizen would only have such a short period of time, so the Ministry of Revenue Li did not suspect it.
"Mhm, Elder Lu, what do you think?" The City Lord asked.
"I feel that if there is no more news of Zhang Shenjian, we can hire him.”Lu Binyang said.
"It's good that you're a local. Do you have any other opinions?”The City Lord nodded happily.
Immediately, the city generals discussed.
"Milord, I feel that this person is arrogant and has an extremely low comprehension ability.”a soldier said.
"Sir, I think this person came at a good time. I thought his appearance had a lot to do with Zhang Shenjian's disappearance.”Wen Chen said.
"I think that this person's appearance is a test from the heavens. We don't expect him to be of great use, just satisfy our current needs. The city only produces mortal weapons, especially ordinary weapons. He only needs to meet the requirements of our beginner appraisers. At worst, we can just use the basic equipment to push him to the beginner level.”Another official said.
"Alright, let's do as everyone says. Without any relevant evidence, we don't have to make wild guesses. This person would be treated like Zhang Shenjian. If Zhang Shenjian returned, he would be treated even better. His personality and manners were not important. As long as he was a talent, I would bend my knees and beg him.”The City Lord laughed.
The Legend of Cards was divided into four continents, sixteen islands, eighteen hidden islands, and secret realms and spatial portals that were unknown to the public. Every continent had a very special city. This city did not have any villages or towns under its jurisdiction, but the land was huge. Outsiders were not allowed to occupy the Lands of NPC City Lords, and other NPC cities were not allowed to send troops to attack such cities. Such special cities were considered purely commercial cities. Grace City was a purely commercial city in Azure Continent. However, such a city would accept players 'investments and businesses. Players would attack cities and attack player cities. Every time it conquered a player city, the system would give it an equivalent amount of gold coins as a redemption after a period of time.
This was also what troubled City Lord Li Ken. He could not expel any players for no reason. He could only punish the player groups according to the laws of China and the system rules.
