Seeing Sigrid taking out the knife and walking towards him step by step, Devin struggled violently. However, after resisting the light of the soul-cleansing light, he was exhausted. How could he be under the pressure of Huo Gu? Escape.
"don't want…"
Devin, who had no chips in his hand, looked at Aesop not far away in horror.
"Interesting look."
Seeing Aesop starting to struggle, Dewen, who thought he could seize a chance of survival, heard Lu Yu speak lightly.
Aesop did want Lu Yu to stop immediately and wanted to take the people here back and let his father handle them.
But Lu Yu's words brought him back to his senses.
Devin looked at himself for the first time, proving that he knew very well that the only person here who could feel compassion and had the ability to save him was himself.
And the reason why he has such a judgment is precisely because he is kind enough.
A strange feeling of resistance arose spontaneously, and he swallowed the words he was about to say.
Aesop didn't know what this feeling was, but he had made a decision and turned his head.
Lu Yu was very satisfied with Aesop's performance and waved his hand.
Sigrid slashed Devin's throat with a knife without hesitation. With Huo Gu suppressing his magic power, he was unable to struggle at the end. He could only hold his bleeding throat and move in the direction of Aesop. Xu grabbed a handful.
Sigrid wiped the blood off the knife and walked slowly towards Old Moore.
Old Moore, who could not speak human words, was inexplicably horrified. Devin, who was also a sixth-level magician, was blood-splattered on the spot. He originally thought that a sacrifice would be enough to calm the anger of the dragon and Lu Yu, but it seemed far from that.
He was so weak that he could not defend himself, and his face was red with anxiety.
Seeing that Sigrid had already started to go through the process, Old Moore waited for the life-saving "Wait a minute".
It was Lu Yu who spoke. After he finished speaking, he turned around and asked Aesop to issue an order for his followers to take custody of the collapsed Sanctuary Elves.
Aesop thought that Lu Yu had vented enough anger, so he naturally agreed. However, the female guard captain next to Aesop saw some clues. When she escorted the sanctuary elf away, she deliberately did not take Old Moore away.
A dinner party involved a poisoned assassination, a betrayal and an attack, a giant dragon descended from the sky, and the death of a sixth-level magician. Aesop couldn't help but feel dizzy.
The anger was washed away by confusion, and Aesop covered his head, sitting on the chair and feeling a little at a loss.
Because Aesop's head guard cleared the place, only Old Moore, an eyesore, was left on the scene.
Being stared at by the giant dragon and the dragon girl, with two masses of fog, one black and one white, surrounding him, one on the left and one on the right, Old Moore's heart was pounding.
How can he enjoy such treatment?
Judging from the situation at the scene, there is a high probability that he will not die. After all, if you want to kill him, you can kill him directly. Lu Yu is not the kind of person who is nagging.
While he was thinking wildly, Lu Yu pulled Aesop and dragged two chairs in front of him.
"Old Moore, congratulations, my plan to kill you has been abandoned."
Unable to speak, Old Moore, who was lying limply on the ground, held himself up and saluted Lu Yu half-kneeling to express his surrender and respect.
"Don't get me wrong. Although I have a good temper, you all want to kill me. Turning you all into corpses is my usual style."
Old Moore put his head close to the ground in fear, showing in a humble manner that he would never have any thoughts of becoming an enemy of Lu Yu.
Sigrid and Hogu despised the villain like Old Moore. A sixth-level magician and an old elf who had lived for hundreds of years was about to enter the grave. He didn't give up any dignity in order to survive.
If Lu Yu hadn't been here, Huo Gu would have added another breath of soul-cleansing light, turning him into a wisp of smoke.
"It was Aesop who interceded for you and said that losing too many Sanctuary elves in a short period of time might unbalance the situation between Grand and Thoresen, so you saved a life."
Old Moore quickly turned his head towards Aesop.
It was also because of this that he didn't see the flash of confusion on Aesop's face.
But Aesop reacted very quickly, and he immediately became serious.
"but…"
Old Moore quickly looked up, extremely nervous.
"Although Aesop bypassed you, the matter cannot be settled here. Among those Sanctuary elves, those who have the biggest objections to Aesop, if you find out, they will all die."
Old Moore already knew what Lu Yu was going to do. He didn't dare to disobey and nodded repeatedly.
When Old Moore regained his strength, he immediately found the list of Sanctuary Elf members who traveled to the Silent Mountains this time, and sketched it out.
"Why, you look down on people like Old Moore, right?"
Lu Yu asked with a smile when he saw Sigrid and Huogu both showing disdain.
"He's a servile man with no backbone. He shouldn't be alive," Huo Gu said.
"It's because he is such a person that I let him live." Lu Yu patted Aesop on the shoulder.
Lu Yu had previously learned from Aesop that Old Moore was a classic profit-seeking person.
Such a weakling will definitely respect Aesop after seeing Huogu's strength and knowing that Huogu lives in the Silent Mountains.
Because of the relationship between Lu Yu and Aesop, he could see it.
He personally wrote the list of those Sanctuary elves who opposed Aesop, which was equivalent to forcing him to Aesop's side.
Once something happened to Aesop, he would not only worry about Lu Yu coming back to settle accounts with him, but also worry about being regarded as Aesop's person when he was liquidated.
Lu Yu patiently informed Aesop of these ideas.
"This is the bodyguard I found for you. Huo Gu also has his own affairs, and he doesn't like to get involved in human affairs, so..."
Huo Gu snorted, acquiescing to Lu Yu's words.
"Are you leaving?" Aesop did not feel happy because he was a blessing in disguise, but he was keenly aware of something.
"After staying here for a long time, after explaining the situation to your father, it's time for me to continue my journey. My journey is still very long, and now is not the time to stop."
Aesop opened his mouth to say something to save him, but in the end he couldn't.
When the Sanctuary elves who were under house arrest returned, it started to rain lightly. The smell of blood in the air had not dissipated yet, lingering lightly on the tip of each Elf's nose.
Tu'er had already learned what happened from his shocked companions. At a glance, he saw Lu Yu chatting animatedly with Aesop not far away, as well as the giant dragon that he couldn't ignore even if he wanted to.
Tur plucked up the courage to introduce himself to Hogu, but Hogu didn't even think of looking down at him. Instead, he grabbed the mist demon and asked her to transform on his paws for him to see.
The Sanctuary Elves who advocated the assassination of Lu Yu are now silent. Their experience of escaping from death has made them not only in awe of Lu Yu, but also deeply grateful to Aesop.
Tur saw the performance of these elves and sighed deeply.
"If I had known this, why bother..."
After sighing, Tur caught a glimpse of old Moore being among the survivors, which puzzled him.
"Why the hell is he still alive?"
Lu Yu didn't look at this group of Sanctuary elves under house arrest differently. He was now a seventh-level magician who had just been assassinated, and his lingering anger against them was the effect he needed to perform.
Because he was about to leave, Aesop asked a lot about his hometown.
This silly guy cut in with the word "make a glass of wine" that appeared before the assassination, hoping to get a glimpse of the corners of Lu Yu's hometown.
However, after Lu Yu told him what the occasion was for drinking a glass of wine...
Aesop was embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Sigrid touched her chin, thoughtfully.
The mist demon turned into a wine glass and swung around Aesop.
Lulutis silently recorded this interesting ceremony.
Lu Yu did not stroll back to the royal city of Thoresen. He climbed on Huogu's back and extended an invitation to Aesop, who had never dealt with a dragon, let alone soared on a dragon.
The anxious Aesop couldn't suppress the throbbing in his heart, and climbed up carefully using his hands and feet.
Seeing that Huo Gu had no intention of objecting, Aesop followed Lu Yu's example and sat tight, waiting for takeoff.
Just like Lu Yu did when he took the Hogu flight for the first time, Aesop got motion sick, and it took a while for the wind to gradually calm down.
Entering the royal city, Huo Gu found the most magnificent palace complex with ease and landed there.
The extremely nervous Thoresan elf was only surprised when he saw the person on his back.
Lu Yu walked through the crowd as if there was no one around, turning a blind eye to the awed eyes, and walked straight to the Elf King who was surrounded by guards in the distance.
"I have completed your commission."
The Elf King's eyes widened, and the joy that was about to surge into his heart was wiped away by Lu Yu's next words.
"But there is one thing, you have to give me an explanation."
The routine indifference made everyone present at Thoresen quickly realize the seriousness of the situation.
Lu Yu was not like this before, probably because he had a good relationship with Aesop. He always felt like a spring breeze when he came into contact with most people in Thoresen.
Thinking of the dragon descending from the sky, a strong sense of uneasiness spreads.
The Elf King had also seen strong winds and waves, and immediately welcomed Lu Yu into the palace.
Lu Yu stated the reason he had already thought of and reiterated the fact that the Silent Mountains had been occupied by Hogu.
Everyone who originally planned to regain the Silent Mountains took a peek at Huo Gu outside the palace, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.
"It's your business how you want to deal with it. I was entrusted by you and got this answer with difficulty. However, someone did not abide by the agreement and tried to poison me and control me in order to obtain the secret of the Silent Mountains."
"Thoreson, should you give me an explanation?"
The Elf King stood up in shock.
Everyone present fell into a daze.
"Poisoning, control...where do you start talking about this?"
Aesop took a step forward and informed everyone in detail about what happened outside the Silent Mountains.
Now everyone felt confident that since Dewen had been executed, they could just push the dead man.
While pushing, everyone was still cursing inwardly, feeling that Devin was unreasonable.
Bypassing so many people and making their own decisions, now that they are dead, they have thrown a huge problem in front of them and given them a headache.
Although De Wen died, Lu Yu's anger had not subsided. Lu Yu, who came with the dragon, felt so oppressive that no one dared to talk to him.
There was silence in the hall.
"This is all caused by Devin's own initiative and self-imposed fault. In this case, let Devin's family be responsible for compensating Sir Lu Yu for his losses." Seeing that no one spoke up, Aesop stood up and said that he had already discussed with Lu Yu Good content comes out.
The Elf King was still thinking about what kind of compensation could make a giant dragon and a seventh-level magician appease their anger. After hearing what Aesop said, he did not hesitate and turned to look at the messy nobles.
"What do you guys think?"
"Agree."
"I have no opinion."
No one wants to have anything to do with the Dewen family at this time. Anyway, he is not the one who is unlucky. The right way is to cut him off quickly.
The Elf King asked again: "Sir Lu Yu, are you satisfied with this compensation plan?"
"What if what I want cannot be satisfied by the Devin family?"
"Then Thoreson will try to accommodate your request."
As the Elf King spoke, he used his eyes to signal Aesop, who had a good relationship with Lu Yu, to say something.
Aesop walked to Lu Yu's side belatedly: "After all, this is Devin's crazy move in pursuit of a breakthrough in rank. Please Sir Lu Yu not to misunderstand Thoreson because of this."
Aesop's words attracted a burst of echoes from the nobles.
Lu Yu didn't say anything. He once again took out the list of Lulutis' transformation potions.
"You didn't find it for me last time. Now, I hope you can show me some sincerity."
The Elf King quickly circulated the list to all the nobles, and soon someone identified it and said that the Dewen family happened to have the items Lu Yu needed.
It's really interesting. Last time the Elf King handed over this list to find it, the people below couldn't find it after searching for a long time. They couldn't even provide clues. Now they suddenly have a clue.
Two other families close to Dewen's territory volunteered to summon their clansmen and asked them to fetch the items on the list for Lu Yu.
Lu Yu did not stop the people from these two families. He knew very well that as long as these people went there, they would not be able to just help him collect materials.
But he didn't bother to mention it.
If Dewen hadn't been so mean and planned to kill him, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Taking this opportunity, he hoped to make Aesop remember a truth deeply.
It is not a good thing to always be considered kind, because powerless kindness often brings the label of being weak and can be bullied.
Appropriate violence can allow you to gain a foothold in a chaotic environment.
The kindness of the weak and the gentleness of the strong, most people can only remember the latter. This is the reality of this world.
Lu Yu continued to make requests: "In addition to the materials on the list, I want half of his family's property and replace them all with highly versatile magic materials. Don't fool me, otherwise the dragon you woke up will not mind setting your fire on fire. territory."
"Of course, you can also choose to slay the dragon, but it concerns my promise to him. I will definitely stand on the same front with him, even if Aesop intercedes."
The two families that had just sent people to Dewen's house panicked again and issued new guidelines for searching their homes.
No one among the nobles present felt inappropriate about this naked act of cannibalism. Instead, they felt it was a pity that Devin was not near his territory.
The Elf King's eyes moved back and forth between Aesop and Lu Yu. After a while, he seemed to understand something.
