Yongzhen's routine ended and he returned the dominance of discourse to Lu Xiao again.
Adrian saw some clues from this detail. Among the three, it was the man who made the decision. The other woman had a bored expression and was talking in a low voice to the wolf beside her.
'Talking to wolves...what is the outside world like?'
Even though he is old, Adrian is still a mage who relentlessly searches for the truth. These three strange extraterrestrial visitors aroused his curiosity about the outside world.
Lu Xiao waited until Adrian, who was a little distracted, came back to his senses before speaking with a smile.
"Mr. Speaker, why don't you put forward the conditions? As long as we think the conditions are reasonable, we will try our best to help you achieve them."
"Shall I bring it up?"
Adrien was a little stunned. Lu Xiao's negotiation skills were not consistent with common sense.
Logically speaking, at this time, he should first lower the terms that he can pay, and then conduct a series of bargaining, striving to get the maximum gain with the minimum effort.
Lu Xiao is not the kind of person who likes to waste time and make careful calculations. As long as what Adrian proposes is not an obviously unreasonable condition such as destroying the four elemental gods, he is confident that he can achieve Adrian's request in the shortest possible time.
Adrian, whose mind was filled with questions, tentatively said, "Then I'll mention it?"
"please."
Since he was not fully prepared in advance, Adrian simply asked questions that he had not received answers to before.
"I want to know who is behind the sowing discord at the border."
"I don't ask you to catch him, as long as you can provide information about the other party's whereabouts."
"Uh~"
Lu Xiao scratched his head speechlessly. He did not expect that Adrian's condition would be this.
"...Okay, but we need some time."
Adrian smiled and raised his head and said, "Please, I'll be waiting for you to come again at any time."
…
After going in a circle, we finally have to return to the grassland battlefield to investigate the truth.
However, equal exchange is what it is. Lu Xiao doesn’t hate this kind of transaction model. Only those who pay will be rewarded.
"Actually, even if Adrian doesn't say anything, after getting the information about the world's exit, I will stay in this world and investigate again."
Consus was the first to understand what Lu Xiao meant: "Do you suspect that guy is up to something again?"
"Um."
Lu Xiao sneered: "Since it has hidden dangers in the first world, there is no reason why the second world would skip it."
"According to the history books I read today, although there are often differences between the four gods, they are brothers and sisters after all, and they have never been at each other's swords before."
"There must be someone behind this chaos in the mainland who is fanning the flames, and it's probably that guy who intentionally left the seeds of chaos in this world."
"If we think more divergently, maybe the next three worlds will be no exception."
Tamamozu suddenly clapped his hands and said: "So you want to remove the hidden dangers it left along the way to weaken its strength?"
Lu Xiao nodded solemnly: "I have a guess. There should be a reason why it planted the seeds of chaos in these worlds."
"Whether it wants to absorb nutrients from the world or harvest negative emotions from human struggles to strengthen itself, disrupting its layout will definitely be beneficial to us."
Lu Xiao believes that the world chosen by the space beacon should not be just a coincidence. There should be something in these five worlds worthy of being obtained by the mastermind behind the scenes.
The seeds of the first world were spoiled by Lu Xiao before they were fully formed. It should be more cautious in the subsequent worlds.
'I wonder if the seeds of this world have matured...'
…
On the Berwick Prairie, at the junction of the Free Federation and the Cainite Theocracy, the war between the two countries continues.
Senior generals on both sides showed restraint when commanding their armies, and did not let the border conflict expand into a full-scale war.
Leaving the lazy Tamamo Mae and Fenrir behind in Purple Eagle City just in case, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen teleported directly to the top of the grassland.
'Again?'
Lu Xiao frowned and looked above his head. The abnormal spatial distortion in the clear sky made Lu Xiao very concerned.
"Yongzhen, you first find a place to use shikigami to collect information. I have some things that need to be confirmed."
Yongzhen raised his head and glanced at the sky: "Okay, please pay attention to safety and notify me immediately if you encounter danger."
Watching Yongzhen land on the grassland, Lu Xiao controlled the wind and rushed to high altitude.
The space distortion point that Lu Xiao felt was located high in the altitude of the Arant continent. The closer he got to the distortion point, the stronger his feeling was.
"Come on, let me see what's hiding in there."
After being prepared, Lu Xiao used his space power to forcibly tear open the mezzanine space, and a huge eggshell exuding a foul smell immediately fell from the cracked space mezzanine.
The remaining shit-yellow viscous liquid in the eggshell fell below and made an unpleasant "squeaking" corrosion sound when it was contaminated by the clouds.
"Sure enough, it has broken out of its shell."
Temporarily abandoning his sense of smell, Lu Xiao held the falling eggshell in mid-air.
"Aletheia, Consus, help me analyze these disgusting liquids."
A few minutes later, Aletheia and Consus came to a unified conclusion.
"That's right. The residual spiritual power contained in these liquids is exactly the same as the meat balls in the first world and the unknown creature in the center of the Lost Land."
Lu Xiao tried to trace the remaining mental power, but failed to get any clues. The creature that broke out of its shell had long since disappeared without a trace.
"Tsk~ It seems I can only find it in a stupid way."
Through the soul contract, Lu Xiao contacted Tamamo who was fishing in Purple Eagle City, and with her cooperation, Lu Xiao teleported Fenrir over.
"Ouch~"
"good."
After patting Fenrir's head, Lu Xiao pointed at the disgusting liquid suspended in the air: "I feel sorry for you. Remember these smells and help me track the owner's whereabouts."
"Woo~"
As soon as Fenrir got close to the eggshell, he was hit by the foul smell and rolled his eyes, tears bursting out uncontrollably.
After confirming that Fenrir had memorized the scent characteristics, Lu Xiao clenched his left hand and annihilated all the eggshells and remaining liquid on the spot.
"Hu~hu~"
The source of the pollution disappeared, and it took Fenrir a long time to exhale before the stench that seemed to be carved into his soul dissipated from his nose.
"Ouch!"
There is no contract directly connected between Lu Xiao and Fenrir, but Fenrir's intentions can be seen from her smart eyes and dissatisfied expression.
"Okay, I will find an opportunity to compensate you later. Just tell Yongzhen what you want and I will definitely help you achieve it."
"Ouch~"
After receiving the assurance, Fenrir started to work energetically.
The sense of smell of ordinary canines is at least 1,000 times that of humans, not to mention the powerful demon wolf... it should be called a divine wolf now.
Soul tracking couldn't find the target, but Fenrir could follow the stench that impressed him.
When he arrived at the scheduled rendezvous point, Nagazhen stood there with his eyes closed and formed a seal, controlling the temporarily summoned small shikigami to collect intelligence from the military camps on both sides of the battlefield.
Feeling the auras of Lu Xiao and Fenrir, Yongzhen dispersed his handprints and opened his eyes.
Habitually squatting down and combing Fenrir's silver fur, Yongzhen said solemnly: "I have heard some unusual information, which may be useful."
"Soldiers from the Cain Theocracy mentioned in private conversations that the Archbishop of the Earth Church has been a little unusual recently."
