Lan Bingchen's words could be considered sensible. Since the situation was irreversible, he could only fall on Nie Tian's side.
"Mister Nie, when do you plan to go to Heaven Luo City?" Lan Bingchen suddenly asked.
"I will leave very soon, latest by tomorrow." Nie Tian didn't hide anything and directly said.
Lan Bingchen pondered for a moment and said: "Heaven Luo City is three thousand miles away from the imperial city. Mister Nie will need at least a few days to arrive. The current Heaven Luo City Lord is my uncle, Lan Yunjiang. After I return to the imperial palace, I will immediately send a letter to him to prepare to leave immediately and vacate the city lord's mansion for Mister Nie. "
"En." Nie Tian nodded, expressing his satisfaction.
Lan Bingchen was quite thoughtful.
At this moment, Lan Bingchen wanted to say something but hesitated.
How could Nie Tian not guess what he was thinking? He faintly smiled: "Don't worry. Heaven Luo City is located at the border between the Wind Qin Empire and the Blue Cloud Empire. If the Wind Qin Empire really wants to start a war with the Blue Cloud Empire, then Heaven Luo City will bear the brunt. I can guarantee you that with me here, the Wind Qin Empire's army won't be able to take half a step into Heaven Luo City, let alone threaten the Blue Cloud Empire. You can be at ease as your Emperor and let me be your strongest barrier. "
"Thank you, Mister Nie." Lan Bingchen was extremely excited and immediately bowed.
Qin Yetian poked Lan Bingchen at this moment. The latter immediately reacted and wanted to apologize.
However, Nie Tian waved his hand, indicating that it was fine.
Nie Tian wasn't willing to listen to those polite words. Heaven Luo City was what he wanted anyway. If he could guarantee the Blue Cloud Empire's safety, why not?
"Mister Nie, I will take my leave now." Since she got a definite guarantee from Nie Tian, Lan Bingchen didn't stay any longer and said: "I will definitely come and see you off tomorrow."
"No need." Nie Tian faintly smiled and indicated that Lan Bingchen could leave.
Lan Bingchen and Qin Yetian immediately left. Today's matter was too big, they needed to go back and properly digest it.
After the two of them left, only Jin Mingxin, Nie Tian, and the others were left in the hall.
"Mr. Nie, the guarantee you gave Lan Bingchen just now couldn't be true, right?" Jin Mingxin bluntly asked.
"Of course it's true." Nie Tian smiled faintly.
Jin Mingxin furrowed his brows and said, "Mr. Nie, you should know that Heaven Luo City is not only the border between the Wind Qin Empire and the Blue Cloud Empire, but it's also adjacent to the Water Crow Empire and the Sun Chu Empire. These three empires are second-rate empires, and the Blue Cloud Empire can't afford to offend them. Therefore, Heaven Luo City is truly a dangerous place."
Waving his hand, Nie Tian interrupted Jin Mingxin's words and confidently said, "President Jin, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Although the other three empires are strong, as long as I am in Heaven Luo City, I will not allow others to covet it. If anyone dares to lay their hands on Heaven Luo City, I will make them pay a painful price. "
Looking at Nie Tian's calm face, Jin Mingxin immediately swallowed back the words he had prepared in his mind.
Jin Mingxin was someone who had read countless people. As long as he took a glance at someone, he would be able to guess most of them. However, even though he had known Nie Tian for a long time, he still felt that the latter was a mystery. The more he tried to see through him, the more he couldn't.
If anyone else said that they could protect Heaven Luo City by themselves, Jin Mingxin definitely wouldn't believe it. However, coming from Nie Tian's mouth, he was 70 to 80% convinced.
Nie Tian was a person who could create miracles.
Thinking about it carefully, just two months ago, who would have thought that a youth from a third-rate city would be able to stand at the peak of the Blue Cloud Empire? Even the emperor had to be respectful to him like a servant.
Such an unimaginable thing had happened just like that, and the protagonist was standing right in front of him.
As Jin Mingxin thought of this, he actually believed Nie Tian's words by a lot.
If Nie Tian said he could protect Heaven Luo City, then he definitely could.
"President Jin, do you know of a place called Dan Wu City?" Nie Tian suddenly asked.
Dan Wu City was the city that Gu Yi mentioned to Nie Tian. It was also the place where the Feng Qin, Shui Wu, and Ri Chu empires held the Dan Wu Provincial Assembly.
Jin Mingxin was stunned at first, then he said, "Dan Wu City is just beside Heaven Luo City, separated by a river. However, this city doesn't belong to the three empires, but the Alchemist Guild's private city. "
"Alchemist Guild's city?" Nie Tian was slightly stunned.
"Yes." Jin Mingxin nodded and explained, "The Alchemist Guild is an ancient and huge organization. It is said that it has existed since the medieval era. In the three thousand small worlds, almost every country has an Alchemist Guild branch. And the Alchemist Guild also has its own private city in various places. "
"It is said that Dan Wu City is not only a private city of the Alchemist Guild, but there is also a red-robed elder of the three thousand small worlds' Alchemist Guild Headquarters overseeing it. Therefore, even though Dan Wu City is located at the border of the three empires, no matter how the three empires fight, the flames of war never dare to burn into Dan Wu City."
"So that's how it is." The corner of Nie Tian's mouth slightly curled up, but he thought of something in his heart.
He vaguely remembered that on the Black Iron Token that Gu Yi gave him, there seemed to be two words engraved on the back: Red-robed!
"This old fella, could he be the red-robed elder of the Alchemist Guild Headquarters overseeing Dan Wu City?" Nie Tian guessed.
Although Nie Tian was an Alchemist, he didn't know the rules of the three thousand small worlds' Alchemist Guild Headquarters, nor did he know what this red-robed elder represented.
"President Jin, what does the red-robed elder mean?" Nie Tian thought that it was a little strange, and couldn't help but ask.
Jin Mingxin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Nie Tian with a strange expression. That expression was clearly saying: You're an Alchemist, how can you not know what the red-robed elder means?
Although he had doubts in his heart, Jin Mingxin still explained, "The elders of the three thousand small worlds' Alchemist Guild Headquarters are divided into four grades: white-robed elder, red-robed elder, yellow-robed elder, and blue-robed elder."
"Among them, only the headquarters' president can wear white robes, and is called white-robed elder. Red-robed elder is second only to the president, and it is said that there are only seven red-robed elders in the Alchemist Guild Headquarters. There are more yellow-robed and blue-robed elders, and basically, the branch presidents of first-rate empires or second-rate empires can all become blue-robed or yellow-robed. "
Nie Tian couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this, and thought in his heart, "The Alchemists of the three thousand small worlds aren't much, but this classification is rather detailed."
But hearing Jin Mingxin say this, it seemed that red-robed elders were very awesome, and gave off a feeling of being awesome.
"Mister Nie, why did you suddenly mention Dan Wu City? Could it be that you're going to Heaven Luo City to participate in the Dan Wu City's Alchemy Grand Meet? "Jin Mingxin suddenly thought of the Alchemy Grand Meet, and couldn't help but ask.
Nie Tian smiled faintly, and said, "That's not it. I'm not interested in whatever Alchemy Grand Meet. It's just that a friend asked me to look for him in Dan Wu City when I have time, so I'm just asking."
Nie Tian wasn't lying, it was indeed Gu Yi who asked him to go to Dan Wu City to take a look.
