614. Don’t let the monster think the ceremony is fake
The Tsing Yi members of the Puppet Masters Association did not continue to entangle with Lu Yu, and those crazy words were considered to be stress caused by fear after encountering the assassination.
The so-called ability to lift tables is a bit confusing. In Selkalo, the Supreme Puppet Masters stand on the top of the mountain, overlooking everything. Their puppet skills are almost as good as those of the legendary gods. If you haven't seen those ingenious creations,
, how can so many people be willing to follow?
However, they still complied with Lu Yu's request. All the materials on the list were quickly prepared and sent to the manor. However, in just over a day, what kind of potion could he make?
The puppeteers were skeptical.
But many people are happy to see him take care of everything, so that when Gaglan's Doll Association explains to the superiors, "it was his refusal that led to the deterioration of the situation."
The scene soon appeared in the secret meeting workshop in Selkaro. As the highest level of the secret meeting, the black-clothed people browsed the report, asked Gaglan's green clothes, and then fell into collective silence.
"Check it out slowly." I don't know who said it, setting the tone of the investigation for this matter.
This voice that broke the silence received the collective approval of the black men on duty.
Lu Yu didn't know what happened in the secret meeting. Looking at the white fish belly in the sky, watching the morning light piercing the darkness before dawn, Mei Qiu already had a plan in his heart. As long as Cercaro didn't respond, he would
will be implemented.
"Teacher, I'm so hungry..." Herola, who had just been poisoned, was lying on the bench in the garden, her stomach growling.
As a price for Lu Yu's offending the puppet masters, they "thoroughly investigated the food supply chain" on the grounds of protecting the contestants. Therefore, they did not reissue last night's food, and even the meals that were supposed to be delivered in the morning were missing.
Lu Yu knew all this well. He stretched out his tentacles and patted Herola's head: "Whatever you want to eat, the teacher will make it for you."
Herola subconsciously asked for the menu, but then she thought about it... Whether it was the question of ordering her teacher or the teacher's craftsmanship, it seemed that it was worth pondering.
“Quiet Garden.”
"A moment!"
The morning glory squirming in the darkness appeared together with Xu Mo.
"Protect them. I actually don't trust the dolls too much."
Lu Yu gathered all the puppets in the manor last night and faced the wall together. Even the magic circles in the manor were closed by him, eliminating any possibility of snooping and obtaining inside information.
Although he felt that the group of people had the courage to initiate a poisoning, it was powerful enough, and they would not be crazy enough to instruct the puppets to assassinate them, but the three of them had seen too many crazy people, and they felt that it was too crazy to be possible.
Implementation is just the arrogance of rational people, and not playing by common sense is the main tone of this chaotic world.
Herola had a special liking for mutton, but as a piggy bank, she would only reward herself symbolically a few times a year. Thinking of this, Lu Yu became more and more curious about what she was saving money for.
Lu Yu, who was wandering in the morning market, quickly selected the freshly slaughtered lamb. The mutton feast that was discarded after the frightening moment last night should be continued.
"Dear guest, are you hosting a banquet for friends? Do you want some other ingredients besides the whole lamb? I can introduce you to some merchants who sell fresh ingredients with good quality and low price." The mutton stall owner enthusiastically offered his companions
Creating business opportunities.
Seeing Lu Yu's interest, he quickly asked: "I don't know what dishes your guests prefer. Give me a list and I can help you more."
"them……"
Lu Yu paused. The stall owner's words echoed in his mind. A detail that he had ignored suddenly flashed across his mind. The whole sheep suspended in the air by magic was still dripping with blood. Along with the drop of scarlet in his field of vision, it fell to the ground.
Splash, his sight was focused again.
"Mushroom soup, mutton, Herola and I's preferences..."
Sera also noticed something strange: "All the dishes that night were manipulated and were not provided randomly, but the dishes that were poisoned for us and Herola happened to be what we like to eat... The person who poisoned us knew our preferences?
Herola doesn't have many friends, and she only eats mutton a few times a year, and she only enjoys it alone. Needless to say, we haven't been here long, who would have known that we like to drink mushroom soup?"
Seeing that Lu Yu had already set off, both Sierra and Lu Lu knew that he had an answer.
When they came to a familiar tavern, a group of drunk people just happened to help each other out. The streets of Gegelan were empty in the early morning. They staggered on the bluestone road and kept chattering.
Six or seven people turned into an alley, and their voices began to echo in the quiet space.
Someone echoed: "That's right, that's right, people want information and sell it...with bad intentions...what's the matter, it's none of our business, you can't make money, you bastard."
"The guy who is digging at Sosou is lucky, he can talk, he just leans on his lap... He really thinks he is a person, just a native."
"Forget it, just say a few words, exchange the coins, and let's squat outside for a while. I heard that those people violated the supreme iron law, and I don't know if it will implicate us."
"It's implicated. Who cares about little people like us?" He smiled wildly, "Aren't we still allowed to discuss eating and drinking normally?"
A whole sheep fell from the sky, fell heavily to the ground, and was disemboweled. The body was still oozing blood, which made the drunken group hesitate at first, and then became alert.
"What...someone!"
Seeing Lu Yu falling in the air, everyone's face, which was red due to drunkenness, suddenly changed, white and green alternating.
"Keep talking, I still want to hear it." Lu Yu said calmly, "Why don't you say anything? Is it because you're sober and don't have the courage, or do you only dare to talk behind your back and don't dare to speak directly to your face?"
There was another moment of silence, but the entire adventure group was already on alert.
"Kenuo, Selisa, to be honest, I don't have a good opinion of you. There is a saying that the first impression is extremely important. Our first encounter was not wonderful. I still clearly remember your accusations against me.
Your sarcasm and biting sarcasm still sting."
Perhaps because the alcohol was still taking effect, Keno couldn't help but stiffen his neck and stammered: "What, what, do you think you are justified in destroying other people's material?"
Lu Yu chuckled and did not answer directly, but kept talking to himself.
"I was in a good mood at the time. I haven't been so relaxed for a long time, so I am willing to ignore your rude requests, and am willing to sympathize and pity you adventurers who are struggling for livelihood and income. On you, I project my past
Another group of adventurers I have met, they are hard-working, kind, grateful, and united to help each other. My encounter with them was wonderful."
"The other person thought of his parents, and the last one graciously chose not to care."
"You passed the first round of voting with us very safely."
"but……"
There was a chill in Lu Yu's calm tone, and in the quiet alley, his voice echoed like the voice of the devil in a bard's story.
"This is consideration, mercy, charity, and my self-control as a strong man. You have never been qualified to bargain with me.
"The so-called destruction of materials can also be understood to mean that your hunting skills are not good and you almost killed others? You didn't criticize me, a passerby, for doing extremely evil things. Aren't you also afraid that Herola in the team is an outsider and has a weak mouth?
"
"You are using strong words!"
"Strong words?" Lu Yu smiled, "The principles in this world have always been spoken by the strong, and the weak listen. Only those that I think are reasonable are reasonable. Those that are not, are all rubbish. What qualifications do you have to defend me?
definition?"
The unkindness in Lu Yu's words was palpable, and everyone felt the imminent crisis.
Selisa warned: "Private fights are prohibited in Gegelan City. Violators will be expelled from the city-state, and your promotion quota will also be cancelled."
"Actually, I don't feel any offense to you. I have seen too many villains like you. They are like bugs and are not worth caring about." Lu Yu said in a deep voice, "But my apprentice has been affected. You have to pay for it."
You will pay the price for the information you leaked."
"How do I know what those people want to do when they ask me those things?"
"If I hadn't heard your drunken chatter just now, if I had a better impression of you, if I was still willing to control myself, I would be willing to believe your excuse. But you also said it, you know it, and you guessed it.
Their intentions, but you also want them to do it...because what you can't get, you don't want others to get, even if this person once told me proudly that he has a good taste in people."
"Unfortunately, she made a mistake this time, but as her teacher, I think this lesson is necessary. With you as a lesson learned, she will be more cautious in the future and wipe her eyes brighter."
"You are expressing your anger!"
"You can comfort yourself and vent your anger. I won't refute. I said it, I don't care about being judged by you, let alone your definitions. It's your freedom to hate me, but don't let me hear it, otherwise..."
The shaping elemental wind appeared, and his small figure was as tall as Lu Yu from unknown time, and his wingspan was enough to completely wrap Lu Yu.
"Little Manta, cut off their modified prosthetics."
Without any resistance, everyone in the team was wrapped in a vortex, and the razor-like wind blade accurately cut off their modified limbs. In an instant, they fell to the ground with their mutilated bodies.
Seeing their prosthetic body being blown into the air by the vortex and being smashed into pieces by the waving wings of the manta ray, all members of the adventure group let out miserable screams.
The strength they had just gained through hard work and continuous hunting was wiped out in the blink of an eye. How could this incomplete body obtain wealth to make up for its damaged body?
Despair made them furious, and they all stared at Lu Yu with red eyes.
"It won't be easy for you. If you violate the rules, you will be removed from the list of promotions!"
Lu Yu said jokingly: "It seems that my self-control gave you the wonderful idea that I dare not kill anyone."
"You...you dare."
"Why not? That Miss Rabbit who once gave you kindness didn't say anything to stop it."
This sentence was extremely cold and incomprehensible to all members of the adventure group.
The sound of dense footsteps sounded, and the morning light finally rushed into this cold alley. The light shone on the arriving guards. The leader saw the promotion sign on Lu Yu's clothes and was stunned for a moment. He quickly called his companions. Soon,
Tsing Yi from the association appeared at the scene.
"That's him, he violated the rules, expel him, deprive him of his qualifications."
Lu Yu glanced at him, and the manta ray's wind blade passed over Keno's fingers. After a miserable howl, he lost all his fingers.
The face-to-face attack shocked Qingyi of the association. This contempt for the supreme iron law of Selkalo made them angry. It was during the trial and they could not decide the matter on their own, so they could only send Lu Yu back to the manor first and then make a report.
.
Before leaving, Lu Yu passed by Keno and said coldly: "Do you believe it now? You can live. You should really be grateful that the strong person you met is the calm me, not other monsters."
After being sent back to the manor, Qingyi Association sent a large number of puppets and magicians to surround the manor, trying to prevent Lu Yu from taking the opportunity to escape.
Lu Yu didn't take it seriously. He calmly grilled lamb chops and handled various dishes. His skillful skills made the weak Herola's eyes widen. Although she should question first and then question before eating...
But, it smells really good.
The mutton that was constantly turning gradually turned golden in color. Lu Yu, who was applying the sauce, felt a strange fluctuation of magic power, and the three people in the coal ball chat room smiled slightly.
"For a moment, you can take over and I'll go talk to a friend."
As soon as he arrived near the area facing the manor doll's wall, Mei Qiu bumped into a doll that suddenly moved for some unknown reason.
"You flouted the rules. During the trial, you hurt people in an area where private fighting is prohibited for no reason. Why?"
"I want justice for them."
"What's fair?"
"Fairness provided by the rules." Lu Yu said, "The tester is poisoned and the perpetrator goes free. I don't like it. I have no connections here and can't move forward. I think someone should come forward to solve the problem for me."
"Interesting..." the puppet murmured.
"In my hometown, there is a story about an extremely ferocious but intelligent monster that appeared near a town. None of the warriors in the nearby city-states were its opponents and could only allow it to destroy, and this one
The monster was almost approaching the town. At this time, a wise man stood up and organized all the townspeople to hold a very grand and complicated ceremony."
"Even though they had realized that the monster was secretly watching nearby, the entire ceremony was still going on in an orderly manner. They were worshiping a god that did not exist at all, but the monster chose to leave soon after stopping to watch."
"interesting story."
"Yes, I think so too." Lu Yu said, "The ritual that cannot lead to the correct god is complicated, mysterious, but useless, just like the supreme iron law at this moment. People at the top of the supreme iron law know the following
Some people are corrupting and doing evil, but as long as everything is intact and stable, they don't care too much."
"But unfortunately, if the monster sees that this ritual is fake, he will not hesitate, nor will he enjoy this pastime in peace."
Lu Yu said thoughtfully: "Maybe there is a monster watching Gegelan."
"I like this story. You are an interesting person and it makes me feel satisfied."
He said in a gender-neutral voice: "I wish you a good appetite."
After the conversation, the puppet remained motionless.
He didn't introduce himself, and Lu Yu didn't ask. The conversation was completed tacitly, as if everyone knew who the other person was.
…
…
Late at night, the ancient bronze bells of the Secret Meeting Workshop rang together, and the majestic and resonant sound filled the empty space.
"Geglan, the assassination incident targeting the promoted people must be thoroughly investigated."
When he was on duty at the secret meeting, Hei Yi was shocked when he heard the message from the Supreme.
"You didn't report it."
"We are very dissatisfied."
The secret meeting man in black, who suggested "slowly investigating" without elevating the seriousness of the matter, was sweating profusely. It wasn't until the sound of the bell stopped that he wiped the sweat from his brow with trembling hands.
The blasphemy against the Supreme Iron Law can be big or small. Similar vicious incidents have occurred in the past, but the Supreme Being has never intervened. It is always handled by the Secret Society personally. For a long time in the past, the Secret Society has also been favored by the Supreme Being.
Decentralization of power has also led to many ills in secret meetings over the years.
Why did the Supreme Being suddenly speak out on this matter?
Did the Supreme Being know who was behind the scenes and expected to use this as an excuse to do something?
Is it that the Supreme Court intends to punish the so-called "capital" of the emerging family who have over-expanded in recent years?
Or should he let the secret party experience his unpredictability?
No one knows, but no one dares to disobey the orders of the Supreme Lord in Selkaro. Even if it is a trivial matter, it must be handled by the secret society personally.
