Chapter 250 Flying!
The soldiers defending the city immediately stood in awe.
Seeing Yan Li's skillful carving movements, Zhan Wang and others were a little surprised. They obviously didn't expect Yan Li to have this skill.
As time passed, a lifelike demon bird appeared in Yan Li's hands.
Yan Li was seen chanting a spell and pointing at the magic bird's head. The magic bird in Yan Li's hand flapped its wings and flew up.
After flying a circle in the air, the magic bird landed on Yan Li's shoulder and rubbed her cheek affectionately.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned!
She actually carved the demon bird alive!
In fact, Yan Li studied ancient carving techniques, and only ancient carving techniques could give soul to the things he carved.
"God...a god-level sculptor!" the soldiers guarding the city exclaimed upon seeing this.
"Does anyone of mine enter the city?" Yan Li looked at the soldiers guarding the city.
"Master, please come this way." One of the soldiers guarding the city personally led Yan Li and the others into the stone city.
"Master, we have a palace in Stone City that is specially for receiving sculptors. Would you like to stay there?" The soldier looked respectfully at Yan Li in the arms of the War King.
Naturally, he didn't believe that Yan Li was only seven years old!
The soldiers defending the city automatically imagined that Yan Li was a thousand-year-old demon pretending to be young.
"No need, we still prefer to stay in the inn. But why are only sculptors allowed to enter the Stone City recently?" Yan Li looked at the soldiers guarding the city curiously.
"So you didn't know that tomorrow is the Stone City Sculpture Conference. Sculptors from all walks of life will gather in Stone City. There were too many people entering Stone City some time ago, so this rule was made to avoid overcrowding." The soldier guarding the city explained.
"I see." Yan Li nodded.
"Master, the largest inn in Stone City is ahead. I will take you there." The soldier guarding the city said respectfully to Yan Li.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Yan Li nodded.
So Yan Li and the others stayed in the inn.
Originally, people entering the city during this period were quite eye-catching, and people like Yan Li and his friends who were personally escorted to the inn by the city guards were even more conspicuous.
Everyone knew that those who were personally sent to the inn by the soldiers guarding the city were all sculptors of a high level.
But generally, sculptors of this level would live in their own exclusive residence, because it was not only a residence, but also a symbol of the body.
The carvers were proud to live there.
Everyone didn't understand why Yan Li and the others didn't stay there, but instead stayed in an inn.
After the soldier guarding the city left, he ran directly towards the City Lord's Mansion in Stone City.
"City Lord, good news, great news." The soldier guarding the city said excitedly after seeing the city lord.
"What's so exciting?" The city lord looked calm, holding a teacup.
"City Lord, a god-level sculptor just came to our Stone City. The demon bird she carved is alive. It's actually alive." The soldiers guarding the city were a little incoherent.
"A god-level sculptor? The demon bird is alive?" Upon hearing this, the Lord of Stone City jumped up from his chair.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes." The soldier guarding the city nodded.
"Where is that master now?" asked the Lord of Stone City excitedly.
"She doesn't want to live in the sculptor's exclusive quarters and is currently staying in the inn." The soldier guarding the city replied.
"You are unwilling to live in the sculptor's exclusive residence? Isn't this disrespecting this city lord?" Upon hearing this, the Stone City Lord's face darkened.
"City Lord, masters generally have strange tempers." said the soldier guarding the city.
"That's true." The Stone City Lord's expression looked better after hearing that.
"Lord, are you going to see her now?" The soldier guarding the city looked at the Lord of Stone City.
"Since he has a weird temper, I will leave him alone for one night and talk to him tomorrow, so that he won't think that I am trying to please him." The Lord of Stone City said, suppressing his excitement.
City Guard Soldier: ...
City Lord, he is a god-level sculptor, a sculptor that is rarely seen in a century and can give soul to sculptures. Is it necessary for you to be so pretentious?
Even if the soldiers defending the city complained in their hearts, they did not dare to speak out their thoughts.
"Yes, City Lord." The soldiers guarding the city responded and retreated.
"Can sculptures be given souls? Doesn't that mean she has mastered the ancient carving technique?" The Lord of Stone City muttered after the soldiers guarding the city retreated.
"It would be great if we could obtain the ancient carving technique." The Lord of Stone City suddenly became restless and paced back and forth.
He really wanted to run directly to the inn to see Yan Li, but he was afraid that he, as the city lord, would appear worthless.
So he spent the whole night in the City Lord's Mansion.
Early the next morning, he couldn't wait to come to the inn and said he wanted to meet Yan Li and the others.
But he was told that Yan Li and his companions left on a flying monster beast at daybreak.
Originally, Yan Li and the others were not here to attend any sculpture conference, so they naturally would not waste time in this stone city.
Upon hearing that Yan Li and the others had been gone for a long time, the Lord of Stone City just stood there in a daze.
At this moment, he was regretting to the core, regretting why he had to be so reserved.
Why didn't you come here immediately after receiving the report last night?
Now that the master has left, where should I go to look for him in this vast sea of people?
"Aren't they here to participate in the sculpture conference?" asked the Lord of Stone City in a deep voice.
"Seeing how hurriedly they left, it doesn't seem like that." The innkeeper shook his head.
Only then did the Lord of Stone City understand.
Why didn't Yan Li and the others live in the sculptor's exclusive residence?
It turned out that the master did not disrespect himself, but did not take himself seriously at all.
They were just passing by!
The Lord of Stone City felt even more regretful when he thought of this.
"I actually missed a god-level sculptor who could give soul to sculptures." The Lord of Stone City murmured in frustration.
So he ordered the soldier who was guarding the city yesterday to be called over, and asked him to draw Yan Li's portrait and paste it all over the Stone City, saying that there would be a generous reward for anyone who saw Yan Li entering the city and reported to him.
The soldier guarding the city was speechless after hearing this.
I asked the city lord yesterday whether he wanted to meet him or not, but he insisted.
Now, the god-level sculptor who can give sculptures souls is gone, right?
The soldiers guarding the city complained in their hearts while drawing Yan Li's appearance.
By this time, Yan Li and the others had already gone far away from Stone City.
"Li'er, why do we have to set out so early this time?" Xiao Lingjun looked at Yan Li with amusement.
"Of course it's to avoid trouble." Yan Li said and looked at the demon bird perched on his shoulder.
"Avoid trouble?" Xiao Lingjun looked puzzled.
"You are stupid. With Li'er's carving skills, if we had arrived a little later, the city lord would probably have come to block us." Xiao Lingze patted Xiao Lingjun's head.
"I was a little surprised that the Lord of Stone City didn't chase us last night." King Xiao said.
"Either the soldiers reported too late, or the city lord thought we were attending some sculpture conference and couldn't run away." Xiao Lingze said with a smile.
