Chapter 2576: Strange request, there is no solution!
"I want to know everything."
Ling Tian spoke softly. After a moment of stunned silence, Mina revealed a helpless smile and said, "Mr. Ling, I really don't know how to respond to your question. What do you want to know?"
"The capital." Ling Tian sat on a chair in front of the bar, looked at Mina, and said seriously: "I want to know everything about the capital, and also, the Central Continent."
After hearing this, Mina was obviously startled.
She paused, then quickly came to her senses. She coughed softly and said, "Mr. Ling, I didn't expect you to be interested in the Central Continent. I thought you just wanted to stay in the capital. It seems... your ultimate goal is the Central Continent? Could it be... the Central City?"
"Yes." Ling Tian nodded without hiding anything in response to Mina's question. "I do want to go to Central City, but before that, I've decided to go to the Central Continent first. I heard that a passage to the Central Continent will appear soon. Is that true?"
Hearing this, Mina put down what she was doing and sat down on a chair at the bar. She smiled faintly and said, "I understand. No wonder Mr. Miao asked me to answer all your questions. It seems that you came here just for this matter, right?"
"Yes, I just happened to hear that the passage would appear, so I wanted to find out more about it."
Hearing Ling Tian's frank answer, Mina smiled faintly and nodded. "Okay, since Mr. Ling is so curious, I'll give you a brief explanation. The passage to the Central Continent does appear in the capital once a year, but... entering the passage is quite difficult."
"I don't know if Mr. Ling knows this, but in order to enter the passage to the Central Continent, three conditions must be met in the capital."
After she finished speaking, Mina held up three fingers, looked at Ling Tian, and explained softly, "The first condition is your realm. It must be above the Saint Realm. This is the most important requirement."
Then, Mina put down a finger and said, "The second one is to get the recommendation of the city lord or deputy city lord, pass their assessment, and become the top three in the competition."
After Mina finished speaking, she paused for a moment, then raised her finger and said, "The last one... you must kill at least three adult demon beasts and bring their flesh and blood to the city lord. Only then will the city lord provide a token to allow the warrior to pass through the passage."
To be honest, these three requests were completely beyond Ling Tian's expectations and made him visibly surprised.
Not to mention anything else, just the martial arts competition itself is something that is beyond imagination.
I thought only Licheng would have such strange rules, this so-called martial arts competition.
I didn’t expect that even the capital city would have one, and that only the top three would be able to go to the central continent.
But it is quite interesting that the city lord himself provides the token. At least there is no need to worry about the token.
Of course, the requirement of being in the top three in the martial arts competition is not very difficult. It is not a difficult task for Ling Tian, but it is a bit difficult for Lin Qi. If he wants to follow Ling Tian, he may need to work harder.
So after a moment's thought, Ling Tian looked at Mina and said, "If I have my own token, can I enter the passage directly without these requirements? Is that possible?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Mina's expression changed noticeably, and she couldn't help but scan the faces of the warriors in the hall.
Noticing Mina's gaze, Ling Tian was slightly startled and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you..."
"Shh!" Mina put her finger to her lips, making a stop gesture. After confirming that no one was paying attention, she whispered, "You can't say this directly. Wait a few minutes."
After she finished speaking, Mina walked around the bar and spoke to someone. When the other person came inside the bar, Mina looked at Ling Tian and said, "Let's talk outside."
Hearing this, Ling Tian nodded and followed Mina out.
Coming outside, Mina breathed in the fresh air and said softly, "Mr. Ling, you just said you had a token. Is that true?"
Mina's sudden question made Ling Tian speechless, and he just looked at her quietly.
This scene made Mina smile helplessly and said, "Alright, since Mr. Ling doesn't want to talk about it, I won't continue to ask. I'll just assume that Mr. Ling is simply curious."
Hearing Mina's words, Ling Tian nodded.
"If there is a token..." Mina said this, staring at Ling Tian and said, "There is only one requirement, and that is to become the city lord."
???
Mina's words made Ling Tian stunned for a moment, then he smiled with a hint of helplessness and said, "Are you kidding me?"
Hearing this, Mina shook her head seriously: "I'm not kidding, I'm serious. If you have a token, you can apply to become the city lord. Only then can you use the token to enter the passage, otherwise it's unlikely."
"I remember three years ago, a warrior with a token appeared. At that time, he also wanted to go to the Central Continent like Mr. Ling, but in the end, he died because of challenging the city lord, and the token was taken away by the current city lord."
After Mina finished speaking, Ling Tian frowned slightly, and a hint of helplessness appeared in his heart.
He originally thought that Mina was joking, but looking at her like this, it didn't seem like she was joking at all. And with what happened before as an example, to be honest, this so-called current city lord seemed a bit... violent in Ling Tian's mind.
After all, it would be inappropriate to kill the other party for challenging you and then steal the token.
But this also shows that it is better not to challenge the current city lord for the time being, as he possesses absolute overwhelming strength.
"What realm is the current city lord at?" Ling Tian looked at Mina and asked softly.
Hearing this, Mina shook her head. "We don't know either, but I do know that challenger was at the peak of the Saint Realm, but was ultimately crushed by the City Lord, leaving him with almost no chance of resistance. Mr. Ling also knows that our capital is considered the most developed city in Ningzhou, so the City Lord must undoubtedly be powerful enough to control the entire capital."
"That's true." Ling Tian nodded in agreement.
Ling Tian looked at Mina in front of him and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
If this city lord can crush those at the peak of the Saint Realm, then his strength... is at least similar to Jiujiu, so... it may be a bit difficult for him to rely on this method.
In other words, he had to pin his hopes on those three requirements.
So Ling Tian looked up at Mina and asked softly, "If I want to participate in the competition... how do I sign up? Do you know?"
