Chapter 1247
For Henry, the days in Eastern City soon became regr. As an appraiser, he was more and more
famous every day in the Treasure Pavilion.
More and more people were waiting in front of the Treasure Pavilion every day.
At first, Trahern was sitting in front of the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion to count money every
day. Now, ten days had passed. Trahern didn''t even bother counting money. He slept in the brothel
every day and drank as soon as he woke up. Even his sword had not been touched for four days.
During these ten days, more and more people flooded into Eastern City. The news that the demonic
beasts were about to encircle the city spread all over the city. Some people who just came in from
the outside even said that they had seen the army of demonic beasts gathering, and they were not
far from the city.
As soon as the news came out, everyone was in a panic.
Knox immediately gave the order to capture all the people who were spreading the panic and throw
them into the dungeon.
In the City Lord''s Mansion.
Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Knox''s brows knitted together.
"Have the other six cities replied yet?"
"City Lord, they have. The siege of the demonic beasts is only a guess. If we were to receive their
support, the beasts might take advantage of the situation to attack the other cities. They won''t be
able to rush here right now!"
"These people!" Knox clenched his fists, and the teacup at his hand instantly broke into pieces. "At
this point, they still think of relying on the demonic beasts to weaken the strength of our Eastern
City! The demonic beasts are stronger each time. They evolved, and they mutated. Now, these
people can''t even imagine how terrible the big beasts from the valley are! They still want to have
internal strife! How long do they want to have internal strife?!"
Knox''s body was filled with rage.
Standing below Knox were many of the upper echelons of the Colver Family. At this moment, they
lowered their heads and said nothing. They all knew how much Knox hated demonic beasts.
Knox''s eldest son died at the hands of the demonic beast.
"Master, I heard from people outside that this time, there are no less than three big beasts with a
size of 100 metres. They have never seen this kind of monster before."
"Notify people!" Knox waved his hand and said, "Now, everyone, get out of the city and dig the
trenches! We will prepare the tomb for those demonic beasts in advance!"
Under the order of the City Lord''s Mansion, all the people in the city got out of the city and dug
outside the city!
All kinds of veins crisscrossed. A trench with a depth of fifty meters waspleted in just one day
in the hands of numerous Qi- controlling Realm experts. The trench was also fifty metres wide, and
it circled around the city.
Once they dug up the trenches, it would be very difficult to transport supplies over. Those who lived
outside the city and didn''t know how to control their Qi wouldn''t be able to enter the city.
In the Chu Family''s house, everyone''s brows were tightly knitted.
"Master, shouldn''t we control Ranjeet''s meals? Right now, the family''s daily meals have been
reduced by thirty per cent. Ranjeet still could eat a whole table of food. This has already caused
many people to be secretly dissatisfied." A senior member of the Chu Family spoke to cido.
"He''s a talent with a high aptitude, so what if he eats more?" cido said, "After this incident, well
only need to train him a little more and he''ll be able to hold his own. His future will be limitless."
"But Master, we have to think for the people below." The Chu Family''s senior member said, "Now in
our family, many people be irritable because they can''t eat enough. Today, there were four
conflicts. If it goes on like this, I am afraid that something will happen!"
cido shook his head. "This kind of situation will happen sooner orter. Try your best to calm
them. I''ll make Ranjeet restrain when ites to food."
"All right."
A day passed once again.
Henry walked out of the Treasure Pavilion. Lisamari and Cherlyn had been following him. These two
beautiful girls attracted many people''s attention. Naturally, Henry was also admired by people. He
was not only able to enjoy the good fortune among these two gorgeous women, but also had the
ability to make people respect him.
Henry left the Treasure Pavilion and went straight to the brothel with the two girls.
Henry hade here a few days ago to drink wine and had gotten to know a girl.
The brothel was the fastest ce to spread the news. The procuress also knew who were the big
shots in the city. How could she not know Henry, the most popr appraiser in recent days?
As soon as Henry entered the door, the procuress came up to him.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, why are you sote?" The old woman walked over, swaying her waist. She was a
charming middle-aged woman who was already in her forties, but her strength of controlling Qi
made her look like she was in her early thirties, which was the most lethal appearance of a woman.
"Ha ha." Henry smiled and then asked, "Where is Aeeshah?"
"Aeeshah has been waiting for you, Mr. Zhang." The old woman held a bright-coloured phoenix-
feathered fan and covered her mouth with a smile. "Aeeshah dares not to apany anyone else
but Mr. Zhang."
"You are sensible." Henry threw out ten gold coins.
The procuress quickly took it and became more enthusiastic. She led Henry into a room.

In front of the room, Henry turned to look at Lisamari and Cherlyn.
"You two wait for me here."
After that, Henry went into the room.
As soon as Henry entered the room, several well-dressed girls came up to the old woman and
looked at the closed door.
"Mother, this guy surnamed Zhang is really rich. Introduce him to us."
"That''s right. Just a casual action and you are able to get dozens of gold coins."
"We serve men for a long time, but it''s much more profitable for this woman to talk with him."
"But Mr. Zhang seems to be stupid. He likes to have such two beautiful women around him. He is
old."
"Go, go, go." The old woman waved the coloured fan in her hand. "What do you know? How can
you serve a man like this, who has been through thick and thin? Moreover, a mature woman is
much more attractive than an immature little girl."
"Mom, do you want to do it yourself?" One of the girls joked. "Mom, if you do it yourself, you''ll
definitely make that Zhang fancy you to death."
"If I go, I''m afraid that you won''t have anything to eat." The old woman waved the fan in her hand
and walked to the side.
Henry entered the room. The woman in the room was about 30 years old, with thin eyebrows, blue
eyes, long hair, and a long skirt. She sat in front of an ancient zither with a kind of intellectual
beauty. She moved her fingers gently and the musical instrument in her hand emitted a pleasant
sound.
"In one stroke, there''s more than one tune. This zither has no tune, but the sound of it is more
touching than the music of chorus." Henry sat skillfully at the table in the room and poured himself a
cup of wine.
The woman in front of the zither smiled and spoke. Her voice was not as crisp as that of a normal
woman, and there was a kind of maism in between. It seemed that there was some magic
power, which made people feelfortable when hearing her voice.
"Every time youe, I use another musical instrument. But you always have somements. It
seems that you like musical instruments very much."
"Everything is involved in music." Henry picked up the ss. "I didn''t expect that the apprentice of
Sackcloth Visitor has a unique love for musical instruments. The old man doesn''t look like a person
with interest."
