Chapter 918 New City Lord

After Lu Yu finished speaking, everyone below was respectful. Some even wanted to kowtow to Lu Yu.

“City Lord Lu, it was you who saved us from danger!”

Lu Yu added, “Everyone, if I want to be your City Lord, it means I will bring all of you along and betray the Ember Empire. All of you will no longer be citizens of the Ember Empire. Therefore, all of you should not interact with people from other regions of the Ember Empire.”

Hearing this, those people looked at each other.

They were painfully aware of this.

If they recognized an outsider as their City Lord, would they still be considered citizens of the Ember Empire?

At the very least, the Ember Empire would not acknowledge Lu Yu’s position as the City Lord.

However, if they were to wait for a new City Lord, would they still give them resources and food like Lu Yu?

Thinking of this, they soon had an answer in their hearts.

“No problem. We will never interact with other cities in the future. We in Mountain City have nothing to do with the Ember Empire!”

“That’s right. The Ember Empire treats us badly, so why should we have anything to do with them? We, the people of the Mountain City, from now on have nothing to do with forces from the Ember Empire!”

They had decided to draw a clear line with the Ember Empire.

“Very well, since this is the case, please go back to your lives after you have distributed the items. I will quickly select a new temporary City Lord to manage this city. Please rest a.s.sured that the new City Lord Lord will definitely not repeat the mistakes of the previous one.”

“No problem, we support you!”

The crowd shouted Lu Yu’s name. It was obvious that they trusted Lu Yu.

They would support whoever benefited them, as this was the simplest way of thinking.

Even if they had to betray the Ember Empire because of this, they would not hesitate!

After all, surviving was already so difficult. How could they look at the future?

As for the other regions of the Ember Empire, their situation was similar. These were people from thousands of years ago. The social structure was still the same as a thousand years ago, even if they had revived in the modern era.

Commoners like them were no different from slaves to those in power.

Everyone received their supplies one after another. After receiving it, the worry on their faces disappeared as they returned home.

Helen and the Empress came to Lu Yu’s side, looking exhausted.

“It’s already so late. I really need to rest early.” Helen rubbed her sleepy eyes and said.

“Let’s go to sleep. There are many rooms in the City Lord’s mansion, so just pick one. Staying here is much better than a hotel.”

To Lu Yu, the crude room in the hotel was torture.

The Empress had it better, but it was also unbearable.

Helen was the only one who could tolerate it and feel it was normal.

Helen suddenly thought of something and said, “Oh right, I have a very good friend in Mountain City. I can go visit her tomorrow.”

“Your friend? Was she born here?”

Lu Yu asked.

“Of course, I met her when I came here for a visit back then.”

“How is her personality?”

Lu Yu continued to ask.

Helen thought for a while, trying to understand the reason for that question and recall her friend’s personality.

She quickly regained her senses and looked at Lu Yu with surprise.

“Don’t tell me you’re…”

“That’s right, I have the intention to let her be the City Lord here.”

“It… it’s not impossible. She was not young anymore. She should be almost thirty years old and is a very nice person.”

“I’ll take you to her tomorrow.”

Lu Yu nodded slightly. He was just worried about who to choose as the temporary City Lord when Helen just happened to give him a good candidate.

After that, the three of them each found a decent room. Lu Yu fell asleep quickly, as it was dead in the night.

The next morning, Lu Yu left his room and went to the courtyard.

There was a huge willow tree in the middle of the courtyard, with many branches hanging down.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

After several consecutive slashes, many willow branches dropped to the ground.

Lu Yu had just gotten this weapon not long ago, so he wanted to practice wielding it whenever possible. The power of this divine artifact was excellent, and just the fact that it could be mentally controlled was already outstanding.

After a short while, the Empress and Helen walked out.

The Empress’s purple robe opened from the middle, revealing her short skirt. Her slender, snow-white legs were exposed, making her look exceptionally alluring.

She lived in a dark place all year round, so her skin was extremely fair. Coupled with her gorgeous face, her beauty was astonishing.

Helen, on the other hand, was a little younger. She was wearing a long white dress and had a different charm to her, although she was not as tall as the Empress.

Helen came to Lu Yu with a smile, tied up her hair, and sat on the chair beside him.

“Have you thought about what you want to do today? It’s time for us to head to the next city.”

“Didn’t you say that a friend of yours is here?” Lu Yu asked. “Bring me to her.”

“Okay, okay. I don’t know where she lives, but come with me.”

The three of them walked out of the City Lord’s mansion together.

Originally filled with servants and guards, the City Lord’s Mansion was particularly deserted; only three were there.

When he left the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Yu saw a large group of people at the entrance.

They had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw Lu Yu walk out, they cheered excitedly.

“It’s Lu Yu! What happened last night was not a dream! Everything was real!”

“Unbelievable. I never dreamed that someone would come to our city and help us escape our sea of suffering!”

“City Lord Lu, we’re your people from now on!”

This group of people was extremely excited. After all, they had just received gold coins and food.

“Everyone, please move aside. I have something to do and need to go out.”

The crowd obediently made way for him.

Lu Yu followed Helen down the street.

At this moment, a person walked over with a flattering smile.

“City Lord Lu, didn’t you say yesterday that you had something to do and needed a temporary City Lord to take over? I think I’m very suitable.”

“No, I don’t think you’re suitable.”

Another person walked out from the side. “City Lord Lu, I can do it! I can be the City Lord as I have the strength and experience!”

“No, don’t bother me. I know what I’m doing. I don’t need you to remind me of my choices.”
