She had never thought before that Cordola would come to her to confirm the itinerary first, and then fake the frost scene.
In other words, in her subconscious mind, no one would be so crazy as to cover up the truth by creating a fake frost scene!
Lying and all that, Lux has seen it before.
But after lying, in order to cover up the lie, he made things true...wait, why do you suddenly feel inexplicably familiar?
Shaking her head, Lux dismissed this thought from her mind, and then focused on the fake frost.
If you want to create artificial frost damage, using magic is almost the only option!
If you think along this direction, then upon careful consideration, the whole thing seems to be a bit complicated.
"Isn't it?" Lux forced herself to calm down, "Things may not come to that point. He just came here specially to teach me the wrong way to judge frost disasters. Wasn't it just to make me confused about the situation? What's more?
Do you need to actually create an artificial frost?"
"Maybe not." Kalya's answer was extremely calm, "But if he really made preparations, do you have to admit that Mithril City was really hit by a disaster just because of your own luck?"
"Of course I can't just sit back and watch!"
"So, you plan to tell all the nobles that there was no frost here a few days ago, but you can't provide any evidence?"
"..."
Lux was a little silent.
Different from the previous tips on everything when dealing with social etiquette, this time, Kalya, who was interested in cultivating Lux, chose to ask questions instead of giving answers.
He didn't even provide any guidance, and directly pursued and attacked Lacus in the places she subconsciously wanted to avoid. He grasped the problems she didn't want to face with his dazzling eyes, leaving no room for confusion for Lacus.
Faced with Kalya's sudden change in style, Lux was somewhat at a loss.
Fortunately, she is no longer the ignorant child she once was.
Following the direction of Kalya's question, Lux began to look for a solution step by step.
"If he really plans to fake frost, he must use magic." Lux first made an important judgment, "And using magic will leave traces!"
"It's a good idea." Kalya agreed, "especially these untrained mages."
"And the demon seekers can capture traces of magic!" Lux clenched her fists, "Under normal circumstances, the demon seekers will not take care of a farmland, but if I invite them, I should be able to mobilize a team of demon seekers.
!”
"For your uncle's sake." Kalya agreed again, "Very good, you used your identity."
"But even if it is proved that someone has used magic in the farmland, it cannot prove that the frost is fake." Lux continued, "But in this way, we can use the topic to explore more farmland. The other party cannot be in every place.
All fake frost!”
"The plan has become more rigorous."
"But there is a problem. I am not very familiar with the situation in Mithral City right now. If they want to cheat and delay, things will be more troublesome after all." Speaking of this, Lux couldn't help but frowned, "And
, the matter of promoting civilians to serve as retinues is likely to arouse opposition from everyone."
"It's a very correct concern." Kalya's tone finally became relieved, "But you are lucky. Do you remember our second guest? He is here."
While talking, Lux's door was knocked again.
With a pile of evidence that Lux wanted most, Dili took the initiative to come to the door.
……………………
Unlike Cordola's pretentiousness, Dili is very direct.
After meeting Lux, he simply expressed the purpose of his trip - I am here to seek refuge!
In order to gain Lux's trust, Mr. Dili behaved very sincerely from the moment he entered the door.
He answered all of Lux's questions without any cover-up. He even revealed his identity as his adopted son-in-law and proactively said, "If I hadn't married my wife, I wouldn't have been able to be here."
But at the same time, he also repeatedly emphasized that he and his wife did indeed love each other, and that he was completely different from the other bugs when it came to lying about the disaster, and he completely disagreed with this method of concealing tax returns.
"That is a smear campaign against the Crown Guard family. Because of a small profit, it has a bad impact on the entire family!"
However, according to Di Li, before that, because of his special status, he had no say in the clan.
All he could do was to collect information about this matter, then prepare his own farm tax accounts, and seal up all the wealth he gained.
In other words, in this matter, before coming to seek refuge with Lux, he used all means to stop it except actual prevention, and the final result was that he could only survive alone.
"I have never touched this tax since I collected it!" Dili patted his chest and vowed, "I tried to contact the last envoy who came before, but he had already been bribed by Cordora.
, I really have no choice!”
"Why don't you just send a messenger to the capital?" Lux asked with some confusion, "This shouldn't be too difficult."
"Because... because my family is really not very wealthy." Hearing this topic, Di Li lowered his head in shame, "I am a knight retinue of the Rangers. In order to allow me to establish meritorious deeds, my wife had
I was qualified to marry her, and I even spent almost all of my private money to buy reliable armor, weapons and horses for me. After that, my family's conditions were not very comfortable."
"..."
"Okay, to be honest, Miss Laxana, my previous description was not very accurate." Dili hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke as if he mustered up the courage, "Actually, it's not that I didn't touch the money at all.
I used it to invest in some financial products, but I guarantee that after I get the profits, I will return the principal as soon as possible - you can send a professional to check the accounts, I have saved them all."
"This is not a big deal. I didn't want to pursue the past debts." Seeing the other party being so frank, Lux waved her hand magnanimously, "You have been a big help this time. I am thinking about it.
What kind of conspiracy has Cordola prepared? I want to find some land deeds for reference!"
"Kodora is a very cunning person, Miss Laxana, please be careful." Dili thought for a moment and took the initiative to remind, "He always likes to have multiple layouts in many places. Here in Mithril City, some of them are not very good.
In a clean acquisition case, he plays the role of a hunter..."
"I see this." Lux showed undisguised disgust, "He is observing me, and then using the results of his observations to try to control me - he is even planning an itinerary for me in order to make everything happen.
Come under his control!"
"Then you must be extra careful!" Di Li couldn't help but want to raise his tone, "When he starts a plan that doesn't seem dangerous, it means that he has already made a lot of plans - if possible,
I suggest you not follow his pace..."
"Why not?" Lux shook her head, "The more content he plans, the more he has to mobilize, and the more he will eventually expose, isn't it?"
"..."
Dili was stunned.
This surprise was half feigned and half real - on the one hand, he wanted to make himself look not so cunning, on the other hand, he was indeed surprised by Lux's boldness.
After all... the fact that strong dragons do not suppress local snakes is also justified in Demacia, and looking at Lux's posture, it is obvious that she wants to see this matter through to the end.
The scheming Dili obviously couldn't understand that Lux actually did this out of justice.
In his opinion, justice is just an empty slogan, and those who take it seriously are children who have never seen the world. People with means like Lux will definitely not be so naive.
So, after thinking about it, he could only think that this was Lux showing off her skills and control.
Hiss - what a scary little girl!
"Miss Laxana." Dili was secretly frightened while continuing to give his own reminder, "Cordola's methods are never very clean. If possible, I suggest you... pay more attention to your safety."
"..."
This time, Lux did not speak, but raised her head slightly, raised her eyebrows, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
It seems as if it has been prepared for a long time, and it seems that it is unexpected.
This half-smiling expression made Dili break into a cold sweat.
A gust of evening wind blew, and Dili felt a slight dampness on his back, and the collar seemed too tight - it was clear that Lux was just a little girl, but he didn't dare to look at her at all!
At this moment, he couldn't help but subconsciously review his performance during this trip.
Hmm, it seems like everything you said is true, right?
As long as you stay loyal, there will be no problem!
Well, that’s no problem!
After once again confirming that he had not made any omissions, Di Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He canceled his plan to become Lux's staff officer and never planned to stay any longer.
After leaving behind the accounts and marked maps he brought, he left the hotel where Lux was staying and quickly disappeared into the night.
And it wasn't until he was far away from the hotel that Dili started breathing heavily like a drowning person.
Thank God.
Although it was not exactly as planned, this investment was successful after all.
The process was a bit difficult, but after seeing and talking to Lux in person, he was full of confidence in this investment!
Dili believes that with this investment, he will definitely get a ticket to the capital of Demacia!
Riding on a white horse, blowing the cold evening breeze, Dili was excited and nervous. He couldn't help but think of his previous plan along the way.
Thank God, Gaokan didn't really take action.
Otherwise, with this person's scheming attitude... I might be even more unlucky than Cordola!
