Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 106: Fifth Crystal Announcement
"Young master, what are we going to do next?" Ciu San watched around, the atmosphere seemed different after they crossed the border of the Han Empire.
Zhou Fan did not answer Ciu San's question directly, he searched for a tavern and when getting what he was looking for without further ado walked straight towards it.
"You look for a separate seat, gather as much information as possible. On a new night we're leaving." After saying Zhou Fan walked over to a table that was still empty.
Ciu San looked at Zhi Long, while the one looked at was looking for an empty seat.
"Sister, you don't drink too much today." Before leaving Ciu San, Zhi Long did not forget to remind a little about the habits of the brother who likes to drink too much.
Ciu San snorted, then headed to the other side of the tavern.
While at Zhou Fan's place, the young man was fond of a woman who suddenly stood beside his desk.
"Handsome, do you need a friend?" The woman who still looked young asked while bringing her face closer.
Zhou Fan glanced at a glance, he instantly knew if this woman had any intentions towards him.
"Handsome, this lady wants to treat you to the best wine joint. How's it?" The woman winked, with her red lips making her look seductive.
But unfortunately he-Zhou Fan is not interested in 'bid goods'. Even given for free he would not think twice to reject it.
"How, this lady is very kind to you. Aren't you going to consider it, hem?" The woman then called the waiter and ordered the best wine.
It didn't take long for the service to come carrying the order.
"Drink, this is the best quality wine. This lady's the deal."
Zhou Fan grabbed the glass, but it was not drunk right away. "How can I drink if you don't drink yourself."
The woman smiled, then grabbed a glass and drank it.
Seeing this the curvature of Zhou Fan's lips became clearer.
It did not feel like one jug of wine had run out unceasingly, all spent by the woman herself and currently in a state of heavy drunkenness.
"What's your name?" zhou Fan asked as he put down the glass that he did not drink at all.
The woman got up, but sat down and said. "My name is Heng Biyu, the daughter of the second elder of the Heng clan, one of the first-rate clans in Hong City."
After answering the woman put her head on the table. While Zhou Fan was smiling satisfied to see this woman answering the question she asked.
"Do you know the Sian Clan?" Zhou Fan recalled that the surname of the teacher was Sian, so it was very possible that his clan was the Sian Clan.
However not as expected, Heng Biyu shook his head.
Zhou Fan squinted, is there no information about the Sian Clan, his teacher-Sian Lou's clan?
"How many clans are there in Hong City?"
For a while Heng Biyu was silent, but after that he answered Zuou Fan's question clearly. "In the Han Empire there were five cities, Hong City was one of them. Hiccup ... In Hong City were three noble families as well as dozens of clans. Yet only five belonged to the great clans."
Zhou Fan grabbed the glass in front of him, gulping him down slowly. He already knew of the Han Empire which only had five cities, unlike the Shao Empire which consisted of many cities.
The five cities were Hong City, where Zhou Fan was now located. Then there was Lu City, Dianlan City, Zi City and the last one which also doubles as the imperial capital, Huang City.
It did not feel like night had come, Zhou Fan could not help but get so much information from this young lady of the Heng Clan before him.
"The waiter," Zhou Fan called a female servant, pointed at Heng Biyu then ordered a room.
"Put him in the room" Zhou Fan said as he took out a few notes.
The servant accepted happily, he then took Heng Biyu away from where Zhou Fan was.
Zhou Fan ordered Heng Biyu a room because he felt helped by the information that had been revealed to him. He was not an ungrateful person by leaving her just like that. Although the woman actually had intentions towards him, it didn't matter as long as he didn't get any harm from her.
"What did you get?" Zhou Fan asked Ciu San who had come out a while afterwards.
"There aren't many young masters, just some not-so-useful information. It's just that later in this city-Hong City there was a dispute between the big clans, the Heng Clan one of them."
Zhou Fan was interested in hearing Ciu San's explanation, he put on an ear and listened carefully.
"There will be two more weeks of competition among the five great clans. Each will bring down five representatives. And the most surprising thing is that a stranger can represent as long as he has a relationship with one of those clans."
Zhou Fan was no longer interested, it might be a lot of fun. But there's no connection to him.
Simultaneously Zhi Long came out, his visibly excited face made Zhou Fan immediately ask. "What did you get."
"Young master, this will be useful. This is the information you need." Zhi Long could not hide the happiness in his expression, he exposed everything so clearly.
But Zhou Fan still did not capture the gist of information he was about to convey, making him wait with a furious face.
"From some visitors there was news if there would be an auction in this city. And the main item auctioned off was a ninth level beast crystal, the ice element."
Zhou Fan's originally ordinary expression turned spirited and determined. "I have to get it!" he gripped Zhi Long's shoulder.
"Where will the auction take place, and also when will it be held?" Zhou Fan could not be calm, the ice element beast crystal was the main goal on his journey. It is not easy to find this type of crystal, after he gets this information, he will certainly not let go of it.
For a moment Zhi Long was pensive, despite having guessed that his young master would be very happy, not expecting to behave in such a happy manner.
He did not know exactly what this young master was collecting ice element beast crystals for. It was clear that Zhou Fan was looking for ten ice element beast crystals and had already collected four crystals.
"When and where?" zhou Fan asked once again who saw Zhi Pong was silent.
Zhi Long took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. "Tomorrow morning, in the northern part of Hong City."
Hearing this Zhou Fan squinted his eyes.
Tomorrow then? It's late today and the auction will start tomorrow morning. Moreover, the auction would be held in the northern region of Hong City while they were now in the southern region. Could he have arrived in time?
"Young master, if you want to arrive on time we have to buy a teleportation token. Long distance maybe we'll be late to the auction site." This time it was Ciu San who said and for the first time Zhi Long agreed to the input of his twin brother.
Zhou Fan sighed in relief, he had almost forgotten the existence of the teleportation token. If no one had said it, perhaps he would have sped up and reached the auction site when the auction had ended.
Really sloppy!
