837: Chapter 837: eting Lucas Armstrong 837: Chapter 837: eting Lucas Armstrong Lucas Armstrong was a Nascent Soul Stage expert, and now he looked at Peter Brown standing before him.
He did not expect Peter to co at this point.
“Peter, you’re back?”
Lucas asked, puzzled.
At such a critical mont, according to his thinking, Peter would absolutely not return.
He should have hidden himself sowhere by now.
“Greetings, Elder Armstrong.”
Waving his hand, Lucas said: “State or no state doesn’t matter now, don’t refer to like that, just call Lucas, sigh!”
Despite what was said, Peter knew in his heart that the place was still under the charge of Lucas and the other elders.
He invited Peter to sit down, and Lucas still clearly held Peter in high regard.
He sighed: “You must know so of our country’s affairs by now?”
“I have heard so.”
“Those with so ability have already left, not many remain.”
“Lucas, why haven’t you left yet?” Peter was sowhat puzzled.
“I presu any power needs an Alchemist, and I am a Nascent Soul Stage Alchemist!”
Lucas appeared sowhat proud as he said this.
Looking towards Lucas, Peter had sowhat understood.
Lucas seed convinced that there would not be any problems, and wanted to stay to protect so people.
“Lucas, I heard that two countries have already enslaved their alchemists.”
Lucas was stunned for a mont, and then sighed: “Those who have left are all cultivators.
As you know, mortals cannot survive in interstellar travel.
I have a large family, and I can’t leave!”
At this mont, Peter didn’t know what to say.
Lucas had lived so many years and naturally had a lot of children, not to ntion a considerable number of mortal descendants.
If he left, what would beco of his descendants?
Lucas added: “Everyone thinks that they only target cultivators, actually, for the cultivator experts who have left, they will still get implicated!”
Lucas appeared helpless as he spoke these words.
Nodding slightly, Peter knew that although Lucas had practiced cultivation for so many years, he was likely a cultivator that relied on elixirs to boost his cultivation.
He hadn’t truly reached the state of oblivion in terms of ntality.
It was normal that he couldn’t part from his family.
“What if they still co to harm you?
Not only will you be unable to protect your family, but you won’t be able to protect yourself either.
What will you do then?”
At this point, Lucas sat there and sighed deeply: “Let’s just hope things move towards a positive developnt!”
He then looked at Peter and said: “You’re a promising young man.
You really shouldn’t have co back.
Go and see if there are any flying Magical Artifacts for sale.
Leave as soon as possible.”
“I did not plan to leave when I ca back.
I cannot part with this place either.”
Peter was certainly not going to leave.
The gateway to Earth was right here.
It would be hard to co back again if he left.
Lucas looked at Peter and didn’t ask any more.
He rely nodded and said: “The situation is chaotic now, and there is no expert in Great Yecheng City anymore.
Only Elder Charles Wilson and I are still here.
If you insist on staying, then temporarily manage the city’s trading market, take on the role of the Great Steward.
It’s also quite chaotic there.”
While they were speaking, a Nascent Soul Expert strode in.
When Peter looked, it indeed was Elder Charles Wilson.
He had seen this man before but was not very acquainted with him.
Now he looked just like a middle-aged man.
“Greetings, Elder Donald,” Peter greeted with a bow.
“You are?
Oh yes, you’re Peter, weren’t you on a task?”
Peter quickly brought out so Lingcao required for Jieying Dan: “Exactly, I have obtained several Lingcao, but have not had the ti to collect them all.”
Charles waved his hand and said: “How can there be ti for tasks at a mont like this?
They’re all void.”
After speaking, he looked at Lucas and said: “Max, the city is in total chaos right now.
We can’t control it anymore!”
Lucas gave a bitter smile: “Those who could have left are gone already.
Only we two who couldn’t part from our families stayed.
To tell the truth, as Peter just said, we don’t know how they will treat us when they co.”
“I was just thinking of discussing this matter with you.”
Seeing that they seed to have so confidential matter to discuss, Peter quickly excused himself: “Alright, I will take my leave now.”
Lucas looked at Peter and said: “Alright, you go on with your affairs.
You must handle the trading market well.
This is your appointnt token.” He threw Peter a token.
When Peter was leaving the room, he had a feeling they definitely had sothing to discuss.
Peter had paid a visit to Lucas today intending to obtain a position.
He had his eyes set on the Elixir Formulas in the Alchemy Hospital.
Unexpectedly, Lucas gave him the position of the Great Steward of the trading market.
This Great Steward position typically required soone of the Golden Core Level or above.
But now, Peter had been given the role.
With this position, he had the qualification to kill here.
It could be considered a good job.
Upon entering the trading market, Peter imdiately t Maureen Martin.
When Maureen saw that Peter had beco the Great Steward, she was surprised.
The position used to be held by her man, now Peter held the position.
“How’s the situation now?” Peter asked.
Shaking her head, Maureen said: “It’s very chaotic.
Flying magical artifacts are now incredibly expensive, while the price of the elixirs has dropped significantly.
Every day brings a different situation, even many changes within a day.
According to the news I received, several countries are determined to wipe out our cultivators.
All cultivators will beco slaves.
Moreover, families of the Golden Core Level or above have been dragged into this.
Their older mbers were killed, and the young ones beca slaves of various countries.”
Peter thought about Lucas’s intention to stay behind to protect his family and told Maureen about it.
With a sigh, Maureen said: “That’s totally impossible.
I heard that two Nascent Soul Stage alchemists from other Shires also had the sa idea, but they ended up getting killed.
All their family mbers beca slaves.
It was terrible.
His idea is completely useless.”
At this point, she looked at Peter and asked: “Can our place really provide protection?”
“Don’t worry.
For now, you help gather as many materials as possible.”
“I have been selling my stock in large quantities to help you purchase materials.”
“Oh yes, now that you’re the Great Steward, you’re entitled to access the treasury here.
It’s not my personal treasury, but rather, a place that was originally responsible to the County Governor.
Now that the County Governor is not here, the guards are still there.
You can enter with this token.”
Peter’s eyes lit up at this.
This was a good news.
