711.As a friend, I have done my best to be kind and righteous.
The member of the medical team with a good nose finally recalled what this special smell was. It was precisely because she knew the greatest use of this herb that she hurriedly informed Lu Yu.
Royer stared at Xialem and hesitated to speak. Thinking of Gulu who might appear here at any time, he said: "Dream grass."
Sharem's face was expressionless, and Sera seemed to be mentally prepared.
Dream grass is an herb that combines hallucinogenic, calming, and soothing effects. Chewing it dry without any refinement and sucking the juice can give you a "dream-like" experience, and you can see another bizarre world.
It is widely used in hallucinogenic potions. In addition, the folk treatment of it is usually to crush it and suck the slurry.
Lu Lu came back, she took the pills from Lu Yu's hand, just stuck out her tongue and licked it, and then immediately "sucked" it out, which made many of Roye's followers feel distressed.
"In addition to dream grass, what else?"
Royer closed his eyes: "Didn't you taste it all?"
The flame in Lu Lu's hand burned the black balls to ashes in an instant, but the diffuse smoke made Sigrid next to her a little dizzy. It was just dizziness. The dragon bloodline is highly resistant to many negative effects.
"Dream grass is a cheap, low-harm hallucinogen. Many territorial lords will add some to the meals of slaves to appease their resentment and prevent them from thinking of resistance... But the ingredients you added have already made
It has become addictive." Lulu gritted his teeth, "Do you know what you are doing!"
"Only if you are willing to give me time to explain."
"please."
Roye stopped sitting. He stood up, looked at Shalem, and wanted to move forward, but Shalem immediately grabbed Xiao Niba's tail and took two steps back.
She didn't say anything, her eyes were as lazy and calm as in the memories of the past ten years, as if she would fall asleep in the next second, and she didn't care about the world. She just needed someone willing to hold her hand.
I am willing to open my eyes and take a few more steps.
"With the end of the Infested Spirit War, the population of the Northern Territory dropped by 70%. Most of the few survivors, those warriors who were active in the Northern Territory and fought for their homeland, suffered from severe hysteria. Every quiet night, they tossed and turned.
When sleeping, the chirping of cicadas can make them stand up sweating profusely. The wind blowing through the leaves will make them see the overwhelming, whistling noise. Even the faint rustling sound during hunting can make them have hallucinations.
now."
Roye said quietly: "The North is destroyed, and the homeless people in the North are also sick. Even the bravest magician will be frightened by the roar of crows... I need these potions, and he can at least
Let the soldiers, magicians, and homeless people abandoned by Solon have a peaceful sleep."
"In the early stages of stress disorder, you use calming and sleeping potions for treatment. I don't object, but it has been more than three years since the infection, and you are still using it, and taking it as a sugar pill..." Lulu glanced at her.
Followers from afar.
"Has Mera ever had peace since the brief period of peace across the continent after the infection ended? Where did they have the time to heal those unforgettable wounds." Royer asked, "Tanya and Zenil each have their own.
The black owl has been trying to behead me. In the past three years, although there has been no direct confrontation on the northern border, those infiltrations have indeed continued all day long."
"It's so ridiculous. Solon obviously gave up the Northern Territory. They allowed the people in the Northern Territory to be eroded and killed. Even though they knew that there were still a large number of survivors in the Northern Territory, they turned a deaf ear to it. But now they are thinking of re-conquering the Northern Territory.
Accept it back into your own territory... Why? Ask the group of people behind me, they are all infected survivors, if they are willing to become the 'People of Solon' again!"
The entourage who followed Royer had solemn faces and silently expressed their position.
The originally menacing road was silent, and the morning light led to a corner. Although it had experienced three fierce battles with the Infection, the Undead, and the Siren, and the color of the world had changed due to several unprecedented waves of magic, overall, it was still calm. The children who followed them
No civilians have been killed in battle, but in the north... they are really miserable.
Lu Lu's experience of poverty at a young age allowed him to imagine how difficult it must have been for the survivors in the northern border during the first winter after the infection. The hellish scene seemed to be right in front of him.
Lu Yu suddenly spoke: "If my information channel is correct, your territory became self-sufficient in the second winter, and a large number of people who had no way to go due to the undead disaster set foot in the north.
Looking for a glimmer of vitality in the environment, you not only supplemented the population and labor force, but also doubled the area of cultivated land, and the grain harvesting has initially achieved results."
Royer smiled proudly: "There are many people who hate Solon, but they are also good enough. They were depressed when the Dewek family was in power, and they were reused by me. This turnaround was completed in just one year.
It is the product of the concerted efforts of the Royal Dukedom."
Little Niba felt that the hand holding his tail trembled slightly, and Xialem seemed a little moved.
Sigrid was calculating her accounts, calculating the minimum self-sufficiency standard for feeding them based on the population of the Roye Principality.
Sera raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lu Yu meaningfully, seeming to be hinting at something.
Lu Yu understood what Sera meant. He glanced at Xialem and asked casually: "Really? Has your Slago smuggling channel been cut off?"
Augustus, who was accompanied by the consul, suddenly shuddered and did not dare to raise his head.
The surprise on Royer's face could not escape Xialem's eyes. She looked at Lu Yu in confusion, uneasiness spreading in her heart.
Mi Lai didn't have magical powers that could spread people to the vast northern border. After the raging spirit of dipping, there were only ten empty houses there, and it was easy for strangers to be targeted. However, relying on the channels of some businessmen, she once reported to Lu Yu.
A very small thing - Royer seems to have a smuggling channel leading straight to Sligo.
It was the first year after the Dipin attack. What could be smuggled out of Solon's northern territory in exchange for output confused Mi Lai. Now the question that confused her seemed to have a suitable answer.
Lu Yu continued: "Now that I understand the reason why you don't stop people around you from taking these pills, it's time to talk about the gifts you continue to send to Sligo. According to the scale, as well as Tanya and Zenil,
You haven't noticed this yet, so you've done it covertly enough. Of course, it's also possible that there are too many new forces in the Solon area, so they have no time to take care of it."
Royer paused: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Lu Yu closed his eyes and laughed to himself. He rested his head on the cushion and stopped looking at Roye: "I thought you would at least make up a reason... Do you really want me to expose you?"
"If you believe Tania or Zenil's propaganda against me, I have nothing to say..."
"enough!"
Lu Yu finally broke out. He stood up in a rage and shouted with great disappointment: "When did you become like this? Don't dare to admit it! Is this still the Roye I know? I regard him as a friend and am willing to
Roye, who seeks benefits for adventurers, takes care of the poor people he sees along the way, and is willing to draw a knife for Little Niba's family!"
The development of the incident made Xiao Niba tremble. On one side was Roye, who had saved her life, and on the other side was Lu Yu, who had given her knowledge and taken care of her for a long time. She hoped that the two of them could continue the conversation peacefully, but it seemed that they had already
It was an extravagant hope. Her hand was tightly held by Xialem, seeming to prevent her from moving forward.
The conflict caused Roye's entourage to stand up one after another, with vague magic lingering on their bodies.
The people in the combat team also stood up. Eunice, who was watching the show, blinked her eyes and thought about which skill she should call when the fight actually started.
"If this place is demolished, they won't punish me, right?" she thought.
Royer turned around and yelled angrily: "What are you doing? Sit back!"
His prestige was very high, and although his followers were dissatisfied, they still followed his orders.
Lu Yu covered his face. Royer's performance made him feel complicated. He once again ignited a glimmer of hope and said feebly: "Noel in Slago is much scarier than you think. You are on the border."
He most likely knows about the transshipment stuff, but he just can't take action for the time being. He will not allow such stuff that can corrupt his people to spread, even if your intention may be to use it to harvest the wealth of Tanya and Zenil's territory.
, strengthened itself, but this poison spread to Sligo."
Augustus broke out in cold sweat. He secretly glanced at Royer's expression, only to find that he was also staring at him.
Just when he was about to say something, Royer looked away and said to Lu Yu: "This is not a competition between countries. Businessmen are willing to sell this kind of goods, so they will ask us for the supply of goods. This is business.
"
"Have you ever thought about what will happen to those addicted people?" Lu Yu asked.
Royer remained silent.
"Why are you silent? Do you know very clearly that your previous self would never tolerate this sin, so you don't know how to answer!" Lu Yu pointed at himself, "Look at me, Roye, I let you look at me
I!"
"Lu Yu, I am the lord of the principality, and I have countless people under my rule. They are all expecting me to bring them a stable, stable, and prosperous life. I am not the one who can wander around this land carefree.
Adventurer." Royer emphasized, "I have my own responsibilities...I am different from you."
Charem closed her eyes in disappointment.
"Sooner or later, that poison will swallow up your principality together. In my hometown, I have seen many countries that condone similar products. They think they are just making and selling. The disaster belongs to the buyer and
They have nothing to do with it, but they don't know that the backlash will come in an instant, and the wealth and resources you gather through it will eventually become the sharp blade that destroys the foundation of the principality!"
"I will impose strict bans."
"If the ban is effective, no one will commit a crime!" Lu Yu said angrily, "You have let everyone see the benefits. There are countless greedy people in the dark, and there are countless people who take risks."
Lu Yu took a breath and advised earnestly: "Luo Ye, give up on it while you can still control it."
He knew very well that sooner or later, these pills would breed a huge criminal base. After tasting the huge profits it brought, those who came into contact with this business would no longer look at other trades.
Poison is destructive to any organizational structure that pursues stability.
Sooner or later, even if Roye sees that the principality is beginning to rot and tries to stop it, he will be suppressed by pairs of giant hands fed by pills.
The most important point... as a transit point to launder his own Sligo smuggling channel, there is a high probability that he will not be the country cut off by Noel.
Compared to Tanya, Royer and Zeniel both look immature. If they face Noel...
"Give up your pills and get rid of the person who gave you this idea. This seemingly smart method is actually destroying your stable organizational structure. Whether he is stupid or simply bad, he is really harming you. You have a group of people.
The companions who were forced by Solon to gather together have a common goal and do not want to add variables."
"Don't touch Sligo. Noel is not as simple as he seems. If you want to improve the lives of your people, cooperating with him would be a good choice."
"As a friend, this is my last advice. Whether you listen to it or not, it's up to you and me..." Lu Yu sighed softly, "My benevolence and righteousness have been exhausted."
