Chapter 678: Holy City Interior Minister

"Ah~ this?" Futiya exclaimed: "How did you do this?"

Anti nodded gently and said: "You just need to control the water content of your facial cells, it's a very simple thing."

"Do you like this reward?"

Hearing this, Futiya's cheeks suddenly turned red.

At this moment, her headache was gone and her eyes were no longer blurry.

Just when she wanted to say something to thank her, Anti's voice came again.

"Go and count how many wanderers are left here. From now on, this is my base."

Anti once again returned to his previous indifferent look.

Futiya complained in her heart with some disappointment: "I said I am the most powerful person..."

After sighing secretly, Futiya went to do what Anti asked.

Looking at Futiya's disappearing back, a subtle madness flashed in the depths of Anti's eyes.

At the same time, the muscles on his face began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

…………

On the other side, Lu Xiao and Tianzai had arrived at the Holy City.

This time, Lu Xiao felt that things had changed.

When he came last time, the holy city was full of warehouse-like buildings.

But not long after, only the palace in the middle of the holy city remained.

Those warehouse-like buildings were demolished at some point.

There were white powdery objects piled up everywhere as high as a hill.

As soon as he walked in, Lu Xiao smelled a salty smell.

Lu Xiao rubbed his nose and asked in a puzzled tone: "Why are there so many salt piled here?"

Tianzai naturally didn't know what happened here, so he didn't answer Lu Xiao's question.

Not long after the two entered the holy city, a big double-horned demon descended in front of them.

The visitor was wearing an elegant red and black contrasting suit.

As soon as he landed, he retracted his wings behind him.

When Lu Xiao was still wondering who the visitor was, the other party took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Lu Xiao, maybe you have forgotten me, my name is Cork."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao instantly remembered who this demon was.

Not long ago, after he took Anti and his lover to the Holy City by teleportation, it was this Cork who received them.

Lu Xiao still remembered that Cork sent a team composed entirely of king-level life forms to escort his lover.

Lu Xiao had a good impression of this demon.

Later, after meeting Yi Hao and Dante, he also mentioned this demon.

Since he met an acquaintance here, Lu Xiao simply decided to get some information from this Cork.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lu Xiao's face and he said, "Mr. Cork, you look very happy. Did you encounter something good?"

Cork's face was full of smiles: "Thanks to you, His Majesty summoned me after returning from the front line."

As he said that, he raised his hand to adjust the tie on his neck.

This scene fell into Lu Xiao's eyes, and even he, who was so picky, felt his eyes brightened.

Cork was about three meters tall, and his muscle lines were perfect.

The red, black and yellow suit went well with his dark red skin.

Plus, the suit was a slim fit, which made his muscle lines look even more perfect.

He looked like a thug in a suit.

Lu Xiao knew without thinking that this was a costume designed by Yi Hao.

Because the native life in hell did not have this kind of aesthetics at all.

Lu Xiao still remembered the evening dress Yi Hao designed for Ruiqi.

He almost had a nosebleed when he saw it at that time.

Sure enough, Cork's next sentence proved Lu Xiao's guess.

"Your Majesty promoted me to Minister of the Interior."

"Oh, by the way, this suit is my work uniform."

"Only the ministers that Your Majesty trusts the most deserve it."

Lu Xiao did not hear any boasting in the other party's tone, which gave people a very comfortable feeling.

It was completely different from the triangular demon guarding in Paradise Lost.

As for that guy, Lu Xiao simply forgot his name.

So Lu Xiao pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Cork."

Cork shook his head gently and said: "Mr. Lu Xiao, you are the most elegant god I have ever seen."

"If I had not already surrendered to His Majesty, I would definitely choose to stay with you."

"I feel that I can learn a lot from you."

Tian Zai, who was standing by, listened to the conversation between the two and exclaimed in his heart that it was awesome.

Cork seemed humble on the surface, but Tian Zai knew that he was actually flattering Lu Xiao.

Although what he said was irrelevant, he always picked the key points.

This can be seen from Lu Xiao's expression at the moment.

When others flattered, Lu Xiao always had a fake smile.

Only this Cork was different.

Lu Xiao had a very natural smile on his face, as if he had met an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

Tian Zai shuddered, and then got goose bumps all over his body.

"Bah! Disgusting!" Tian Zai complained in his heart.

As if he had noticed that Tianzai was being ignored, Cork set his eyes on Tianzai.

Then he pursed his lips, smiled, and nodded at Tianzai.

Tian Zai was shocked, and then thought to himself: "It's a pity that this person doesn't go into sales!"

After Lu Xiao and Cork had a small talk, they finally brought the topic to the point.

"Mr. Cork, why are there so many salts in the Holy City?"

At this time, the Holy City looked no different from a salt field.

After hearing this, Cork looked around, and then lowered his voice and said: "These salts were asked to be left by the High Priest."

"I heard that he wanted to use these salts to make salt bricks."

"Salt bricks?" Lu Xiao asked with some doubts: "What are they used for?"

Cork smiled and then shook his head slightly: "I don't know the specific function, anyway, the High Priest personally gave it down, and these salts are very important."

"We ministers are only responsible for executing his orders."

At this point, his tone became hesitant: "It is said that the High Priest wants to use these salt bricks to build buildings inside the Holy City."

Lu Xiao suddenly realized, and then nodded slightly.

Cork's words were very skillful.

Because this kind of thing actually belongs to the internal affairs of the Holy City.

Cork is from the Holy City and is now the Minister of the Interior.

Therefore, it is not easy for him to disclose the internal affairs to the outside world.

But he did not want to offend Lu Xiao, so he first made it clear that he did not know.

Then he told Lu Xiao his guess.

As for whether it is just a guess or a fact, it depends on how Lu Xiao judges it.
