Luther and Roz chose the place where they had their first conversation to meet.
When Roz took Olivia to the lakeside behind the orphanage, they found that Luther was already waiting for them, but in a strange way.
I saw two more wooden tables on the shore of the sparkling lake, one of which was filled with various seasonings and kitchen utensils.
On another table, Luther was kneading a large piece of dough vigorously. From time to time, he grabbed the dough and threw it heavily on the table, making a muffled sound.
Luther's Tibrim held a basin of water on his head. When he saw Luther stretching his hand toward him, he immediately took it over.
After moistening the dough with water, Luther continued the previous operation until the dough was extremely round, then he picked up a stainless steel basin on one side and covered it with dough.
After Roz saw Luther's series of actions, curiosity replaced his sullenness, and he decided to temporarily suppress the discomfort he felt when he heard the news.
"I never knew you could make pastries."
Driven by curiosity, Roz wanted to open the stainless steel basin and look at the dough inside. He was so far away that he could only see an outline.
Are you still so skilled at Lutheran cooking?
Roz was a little skeptical.
Qixi Bluebird stretched its neck and blocked Roz's hand with its head.
Shuttlecock cotton Tanabata bluebird jumped down from the neck, stepped on the stainless steel basin with one foot, and stared at Roz who wanted to find out with great dissatisfaction.
"I'm in front of you. If you want to see it, just wait." Luther did not blame Shuttlecock Mian, but picked her up and put her back on the Qixi Blue Bird's head.
Roz said curiously: "I only knew you were a very powerful trainer, but I never thought you were actually versatile."
"Do you enjoy doing this?"
Luther washed the flour off his hands and wiped them clean on the Qixi Blue Bird.
"People on the island like to eat these. In fact, Mai and the lucky eggs can make them, but others insist that they don't taste as good as the ones I make, so I have to keep studying."
"Unlike others, I always have to work hard and scheme against others, so I still have time to specialize in the things I like to do." Luther said, "No, the elves haven't returned to the island for a long time, and they are a little homesick.
Now, I will make a delicious meal to reward them."
Luther's words were directed at Roz. Behind Roz, Olivia excitedly wanted to step forward to argue. She almost blurted out "you guy", but Roz blocked her with her eyes.
Olivia's resentment had nowhere to release, which made her eyes look cold when she looked at Luther, and even her movements to help Roz get a chair became a lot rougher.
"Whether you like to make pastries or study cooking here, you don't need such a big battle." Roz joked, "In order to protect your unique craftsmanship from being stolen, how many elves have you put here?
"If you use this lineup to play in a championship, I'm afraid it will make many trainers dizzy. Don't you think it's too low-key to put it here?"
"Not low-key, not low-key, there must always be an elf who takes care of and protects Misaki."
Roz said: "This is my orphanage. This is Galar, not a lawless outer sea zone with no order. I believe the police can do a good job in protecting Misaki."
"But I don't believe it."
Luther opened the stainless steel basin and took out the cooked noodles.
"Now I only believe in what I see and feel."
"You mean, my words can't be trusted?" Roz asked.
Luther didn't answer, he just rolled out the dough vigorously and spread it out.
Luther's silence made Roz choose to go straight to the topic and stop beating around the bush.
"I hope you know clearly that Misaki is a prisoner in the Galar region. The reason why she was not taken away before was because Misaki was crazy and the Emperor was begging for mercy."
"Now you take her away. This is a shameful move for the Galar Alliance. We still have the right to deal with Misaki."
Roz was very calm. He still did not mention the information he knew before meeting Luther, and tried to limit the topic to the present.
"It's just an injury. I've been injured so many times before, I don't care about this one."
Unlike Luther before, this time he had no intention of being reasonable, and his words even contained some joking elements, as if he sincerely wanted to see Roz's joke.
If Emperor Dan were here, he would definitely find this style of dealing with things very strange, completely different from the Luther he knew.
Although Luther now has a polite smile on his face, his words are completely alien to others.
"Besides...I'm not allowed to take Misaki away. Is it really because of face issues?"
Luther brushed the prepared ghee on the spread dough with a small brush and entered a serious state again.
"Olivia, please leave for a moment. I want to have a chat with Luther alone. Don't let anyone else come near here."
"Don't worry, my elf has been alerted from a long distance, and I don't want anyone to interrupt our next words."
Luther really admired Roz. He clearly knew that he had noticed his trick, but he could pretend not to know at all and continued the conversation with Luther in a dazed manner.
Is this the secret to his success?
"In the past four days, there have been a total of thirteen elves secretly watching and trying to approach Misaki's courtyard at night. They are not wild elves. It is obvious that someone remotely controls how they should behave."
Luther focused on the pastries in his hands and didn't bother to look up at Roz's expression.
"Is there such a thing?" Roz looked surprised.
"Of course, it's possible that these elves were released by some people to get information, but they don't seem to understand the concept of a mythical beast like Darkrai sitting in the yard."
The gossamer-like feathers shone with a faint shimmer. The moment this elf appeared in Rozi's field of vision, he was stunned, followed by surprise, confusion and shock.
Roz gradually reached his current position, and he has been working hard to recharge his batteries, fearing that his status and knowledge would fall behind others.
Therefore, unlike those nobles who were stubborn and powerless, Roz could recognize the elf in front of him at a glance as Cresselia, the dream god who echoed Darkrai in the legends of the Sinnoh region.
Luther not only has Darkrai, the god of nightmares, but he also holds Cresselia, the god of dreams, who restrains his power?
Roz once again discovered that his estimate of Luther was completely wrong.
The Lutheran Congress has been going on to this day and even the main force has not been present. How rich is his family?
After letting Roz think about it for a while, Luther slowly introduced: "Creselia, the elf of my fiancée Mai."
"I originally asked her to stay with Mai, but when I thought that the situation here was a little more corrupt than I expected, I borrowed her. After all... I was afraid that something would happen to Misaki suddenly and she would be gone."
"Would my orphanage be such an unsafe place?" Roz asked.
"yes."
Luther's straightforwardness made Roz a little unable to adapt to the rhythm of the conversation.
After all, Roz would never admit it anyway, and would only argue endlessly about whether Misaki should leave Galar, so Luther didn't plan to make a fool of himself with Roz.
"Loz, I admire your methods and your ability to disguise. When I talked to you just now, I can see that you don't feel guilty about Misaki at all, and you are even more convinced..."
"You really are a scumbag."
The corners of Roz's mouth raised slightly: "Luther, what have I done to deserve being so insulted by you?"
Luther put down the dough that had emerged into the shape of a pancake and looked at Roz seriously.
Roz smiled kindly, like a caring elder who is willing to take care of you.
This is the most powerful opponent Luther has faced in so many years. Even Dieffenbachia is not as good as Roz, because Roz will not show much emotion at all, and all his expressions will be clicked.
His laughter, sadness, and melancholy can all be disguises to cover up his true thoughts.
Roz never reveals his true intentions. Even if you are convinced that he did it, he can still try to make you believe that you have misunderstood him through his exquisite expressions and body language.
It is really normal for a guy of Misaki's level to be played like this by Roz. Even if a clever guy like Acerola comes to the line, if he is not warned in advance, he will probably be tricked.
"Is this how you use your performance to push Misaki into the abyss?"
"I don't quite understand what you are talking about."
"No, you know exactly what I'm talking about, but you won't admit it."
Luther stuck sesame seeds on all the dough and asked Darkrai to bake it in the oven of the orphanage.
"I want to know one thing, do you really feel no guilt towards Misaki?"
Roz's eyes were calm and his expression was as usual: "It's all her own choice that makes Misaki what she is today. What does it have to do with me?"
"Luther, you don't want to attribute the reasons for Misaki's own character to the fault of my inaction, do you?"
The corners of Luther's mouth twitched, and he chuckled at first, but inexplicably he couldn't control his expression. As the corners of his mouth moved wider, he laughed loudly.
"I would rather you do nothing. As long as you don't act, she will still have a chance to look back!"
"That night, Dandi promised me that he would teach Misaki well in the future, and he also described to me the scene where his apprentice Galar was running all over the place many years later."
"Do you know why Dan Emperor said this? Because he hopes that I can understand his mood. He hopes that I understand that in his eyes, although Misaki has some problems, he is not hopeless. Let me give him some
time."
Luther thought of Dan Emperor's expression at that time and his sincere words, and he really felt unworthy of Dan Emperor.
Luther never expected that if he let Misaki go, someone would use very despicable methods to completely lure her to a dead end.
"Loz, your chances of winning are so great, do you really need to push a child you know off the cliff to set the tone for your victory?"
"Luther, I really don't know what you are talking about. I hope you understand that I didn't do anything."
In the true sense of the word, an old fox keeps his mouth shut for fear that he may have done something secretly.
"Okay, okay, okay, okay." Angrily, Luther said four good words in a row.
"Since you suspect that I'm secretly recording, I say, listen!"
"On the night when Dan Emperor and I met, you noticed something was wrong with Misaki's state. You also discovered that the old nobles who had been in contact with Misaki earlier were secretly contacting her."
"With your experience, you quickly realize there's a lot of room for maneuver here."
"You found the hidden clues in the old nobleman, and you knew the content of the old nobleman's contact with Misaki, so you thought of a way to defeat the old nobleman in one fell swoop and make the meeting that might have gone wrong very safe."
"You created a fake document that contained material that was true but was not actually what you would reveal at the meeting."
"After making this fake document, you first gathered your confidants together and told Emperor Dan that they would all stay in your group. Then you gave another fake document to Emperor Dan and asked him to take it home and read it.
.”
"I didn't realize it at the time. Emperor Dan didn't participate in the meeting with you at all. Why did I need to read this document? I didn't come back to it until after it happened."
"With Dan Emperor's character, he will definitely not guard against his apprentice. You know this very well, so you are not worried that this document will not be seen by Misaki and your plan will go bankrupt."
"Misaki, who was originally at war with heaven and earth in his heart, saw such a document, but because of his low self-esteem and worries, he finally chose to steal the document and take it upon himself to do something for Alchemy Emperor and restore his own image."
"However, she didn't expect that everything she was doing now was actually someone who had already guessed it and planned it for her."
"This person not only knows her character and handling style well, but also her master Dan Emperor, so he can easily achieve his goals."
"It doesn't matter whether Misaki is crazy or not in the end. If she is crazy, it is the best ending. After all, someone cannot justifiably throw her into prison and slowly digest this person in the territory under their control."
"And Emperor Dandi has no reason to continue to protect Misaki after this incident. After all, he is the champion of Galar. Misaki has done something wrong and will be punished. He must avoid suspicion."
After this trick, Roz plotted against the old nobles, used the Dan Emperor, destroyed Misaki, and gained the power of the alliance.
And he just created a fake document.
This kind of ability to move a thousand pounds with only four ounces is really scary.
Of course, the most frightening thing is his proficiency in doing these things, link by link, leaving no loopholes at all. If you want to trace the source afterwards, you will only come to the conclusion that Misaki is mentally retarded.
No one could realize that there was another hand secretly manipulating the outcome of this incident.
If Roz hadn't spoken so smoothly, would Luther have discovered it?
Luther himself thought about it these days, and finally found that he was really not good at playing tricks and people's hearts with Roz.
Roz's rank is too high.
So he decided to use other methods to deal with Roz.
Roz smiled, clapped his hands, and said in a rich male voice: "Great guess, great story. I appreciate your reasoning, but Luther... do you have any evidence?"
"Besides, Misaki doesn't have to be fooled. Is anyone forcing her to be fooled?"
