The Alchemist crept into Raoxue Castle at night. The behavior of the Deputy City Lord of Raoxue City was strange—whatever power he used to strike at Lu Hong must have been instructed, a probe to test the waters.
Kaif kept a close watch on the young girl's comings and goings, hinting that this small Raoxue plane was not as peaceful as one might imagine.
As Lu Hong pondered, a disturbance seemed to arise within the small town.
"What's happening out there?" Lu Hong asked.
With a chuckle, Kaif replied, "It should be my aged son's return from the hunt, and the demon beast he's killed this time must be quite valuable."
"Oh?" Lu Hong said curiously, "May I ask how you exchange the spoils from these demon beast hunts for wealth?"
"On the third day of each month, we hand them over to Gui Sheng, who tallies our goods and calculates a fair price. The Queen of Raoxue then exchanges the corresponding money and supplies with us."
