First impressions determine a person's opinion of a person to a large extent. Preconceived impressions are so ingrained that they can ignore details that can be learned with a little inquiry.
For example, Benlong left the courtyard twice and took away animals in batches.
For another example, Lulu and Sigrid were no longer around Lu Yu, and they had obviously left.
The glutton cannot be washed away. As long as Lu Yu is still active in Mera, this name will be mentioned again and again.
Gold and even crystal adventurers are already the limit of the strength of adventurers from various countries in Mera's human territory. Both Sera and Roye only know of three adventurers with purple scales, that is, seventh-level strength, who are not recruited by the four major countries.
During the few days he stayed in Broken Gold City, Lu Yu witnessed the arrival of adventurers from various regions and in different costumes.
The high bounty offered by Broken Gold City finally worked. After weighing it, the gold-level and crystal-level adventurers chose to "take risks".
Most of these adventurers who advocate freedom and have outstanding strength are unruly. It was okay to talk to the city lord Colin, but they became cold and arrogant when talking to the Adventurer's Guild and the vampire hunter team in the city. The contempt in their words could not be hidden at all. .
However, these unruly adventurers seemed to know Royer and were very friendly to him.
A second ago, he was mocking the Vampire Hunters in a contemptuous tone for how little they had harvested over the years. The sharp-tongued adventurer suddenly changed his face when he saw Roye standing aside.
Not only did they take the initiative to say hello to Roye politely, but they also complimented Lu Yu who was standing aside.
This scene happened several times in a row. Royer seemed to know most of the adventurers who came here. No matter how fierce these adventurers were, like black bears in disguise; no matter how coquettish and arrogant these adventurers were, they coldly rejected a person. Another hookup; no matter what the adventurer's mood is...
In short, these adventurers whose average strength is above gold, as long as they know Roye, suppress their wildness that they can't hide, and talk to him. These people's words reveal a feeling of affection for Roye. gratitude.
"I helped them with some small favors." Royer explained to Lu Yu lightly.
A little favor?
Under Lu Yu's questioning, Roye couldn't resist and could only tell him some details.
Ever since they fell out with their family, Roye and Charem relied on commissions to support themselves. To this end, they traveled across the borders of the four major countries, looking for large commissions, and quickly jumped from the gold rating when they left to crystal.
With rich experience and powerful strength, Roye and Xia Leim have always been excellent companions for many high-level tasks that need to be completed as a team.
In adventure after adventure, Roye saved countless dying adventurers and helped many people in desperate situations. Over the years, their names became very famous among adventurers.
Many mid- to high-level adventurers seem to have made a lot of money from one commission, but apart from recuperation and equipment wear and tear, they sometimes find that they have actually lost money.
Many adventurers would rather treat their injuries with local methods than seek treatment from professional doctors, just to save money.
After Roye and Charem understood the situation, they would often divide some of their rewards and give them to these adventurers who were unwilling to give up better treatment. Their financial difficulties were often caused by the money-splitting boys. .
"Is this a small favor?" Lu Yu pretended to be angry because he found that Roye always pretended to be humble.
Royer seemed to have guessed Lu Yu's thoughts. He explained awkwardly and helplessly: "I don't want to be said by the Solon royal family that I am trying to win people's hearts. This is something that cannot be boasted... You should know how important my identity is..."
"So many years have passed, and they are so afraid?" Lu Yu frowned, "In the war of the Drained Spirit, your ancestors sacrificed their lives for the establishment of Solon..."
"It is because our ancestors shine so brightly that we are like flowers in the shadows. We want to bloom, but we have to worry about the ruthless wind sweeping the earth." Royer said, "I can say that what I do is worthy of my heart. But in their eyes, maybe all that’s left is to win people’s hearts.”
Lu Yu began to understand what Roye said under the silver maple statue.
Whether it is the title of Six Pillars or the noble title of Noble, it is a burden to him.
With Roye in charge, the adventurers in Broken Gold City behaved very calmly. However, for several days, there was no movement from the dominant vampire race.
The adventurers carried weapons and went out of the city in groups, proceeding cautiously until they reached the vicinity of the Red Flame Mountains, but no active Vampires were seen.
At first, Lu Yu thought that the vampires had attacked his manor, but the glorious incarnation who was hiding in the dark and delivering messages sent news that the territory was very safe and the construction was proceeding in an orderly manner.
For a moment, the vampire disappeared.
In order to get more information, the adventurers continued to go deep into the Red Flame Mountains, and finally encountered the vampires who were letting loose, and "smoothly" engaged the large army of vampires.
After returning to Broken Gold City with wounds all over his body, Broken Gold City still did not wait for the vampire's attack.
Lu Yu looked at the mountains covered with red leaves in the distance, and a thought flashed in his mind.
"Do you think... the vampire's attack on Broken Gold City was just a test?" Roye, who had just been treating the injured adventurer with Xia Leim, hurried over and was confused when he heard what Lu Yu said, "But their actions before were not like that. It’s false. In the era when dragons were king, this place did belong to the territory of the dominant vampire race, and they should be eager to take it back.”
"Ruijin City is a big city with a huge population and sufficient food. Even if the city is besieged, as long as the residents in the city don't panic and get into chaos, the Vampire Clan will have no chance." Lu Yu said, "We understand this, and the leader of the Vampire Clan, Newman, will naturally also Understand."
"So he chose to consume."
Royer's eyes widened, and following Lu Yu's thoughts, he guessed Newman's true intention.
Broken Gold City is under siege and the adventurers have fled. In order to defend the city, the rulers of the city will inevitably recruit powerful adventurers to fight against the Vampires. To deal with the Vampires who have relatively high-level combat power, gold and crystal must be the first choice...
Gold and crystal adventurers are expensive!
Lu Yu said: "Newman's goal has been achieved. By observing Broken Gold City and asking for help from Solon and the Theocracy, he learned the attitudes and bottom lines of the two major human powers - they will only take action if they excessively infringe on human interests. For this reason, Newman's decision Yes, we won’t massacre the city.”
"Newman can force Broken Gold City to launch a bounty through siege time and time again, and then use the bounty to bring down Broken Gold City. No matter how rich Broken Gold City is, and how rich the deposits it once sat on, it will be defeated in the long tug-of-war. Eat away bit by bit. For the Vampires, Broken Gold City is right here, but they are in the vast mountains."
I expected the Vampires to fight to the death in Broken Gold City, but the idea of picking up the slack on my own was shattered.
Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh, not everyone who attacked the city was a Bidelis, who could lead the dominant vampire race to rise secretly in the gap between Solon and the Theocracy, trying to carve out a little living space bit by bit, Newman's obvious rank Much higher than Bidillis.
And judging from the performance of the vampires, Newman has no internal pressure, and the entire dominant species obeys his words, thus eliminating any hindrance from behind.
After re-examining, Lu Yu discovered that his territory was likely to face tremendous pressure.
"I can't let you succeed."
Lu Yu found the city lord Colin and told him all his speculations.
At first, Colin still had a proud smile on his face. The Vampires' lack of attack allowed him to sleep peacefully for a rare period of time.
As Lu Yu spoke in more detail, Colin's expression became solemn and he could no longer laugh.
Lu Yu's description is very likely to come true. The vampires can completely avoid the adventurers' efforts to defend the city, and wait until the adventurers have left to besiege the city again... Each time the adventurers are reconvened, it will be a huge financial burden for Broken Gold City.
"Changing from passive to active may make the situation less bad. Let me think about it... if a more generous reward appears at this time, and then you spread it out under the name of 'eradicating alien races for the human race'..."
Colin's solemn face "cleared the clouds and revealed the sun". He wanted to ask something more, but Lu Yu turned and left.
Lu Yu did not continue to teach Colin how to do things. He believed that Colin would figure it out for his own benefit.
As expected, Colin showed a courageous side. He took the initiative to increase the bounty and tried his best to meet the adventurers' requirements for food and accommodation. However, there were more requests.
"Hunt vampires and exchange wings for bounty."
Seeing this commission, Lu Yu called Roye to go to his territory. They no longer needed to stay in Broken Gold City.
The commission does not emphasize the level of strength. All vampires can be converted into bounties. The first to be unlucky must be the weaker low-level vampires, and most of these vampires are the younger generation.
Colin spread the commissioned bounty to the surrounding areas, and it is expected that adventurers will respond soon.
Standing on the hill outside Broken Gold City, watching the group after group of adventurers heading towards the Red Flame Mountains like chicken blood, Roye sighed softly.
"A lot of people will die."
"It's just that the money is in place and the people are in place." Lu Yu said, "Colin has already become ruthless. He doesn't want to be beaten passively, so he is preparing to kill. It's just a matter of comparing who is more ruthless."
"Colin spent a lot of money. He united the nobles in the city, offered a jaw-dropping reward, and even paid a lot of money to invite a duke on the border of Solon and a city-state bishop from the Theocracy to bear witness. Soon the adventurers You will know that there is a city lord who hates the vampires very much and spends a lot of money just to help the humans 'eliminate hidden dangers'."
Royer thought thoughtfully: "Did you teach this?"
"No need to teach. When it comes to interests, the nobles' brains will become very good, but don't expect them to have a long-term vision... Their short-sightedness is exactly what I want to see."
Royer heard that Lu Yu had laid a trap for the nobles of Broken Gold City, but he couldn't figure out where the trap was for a while... Looking at it now, the nobles of Broken Golden City had the aura of 'cleaning up alien races for the human race' Yes, spending money to buy reputation is a good deal.
The radiant incarnation promptly informed Laurend of everything that happened here.
Laurent, who was lying in the arms of the nun in black and enjoying his leisure, laughed louder and louder.
The nun in black rarely saw Laurent so happy, and even the servants who came to deliver refreshments were stunned.
Standing on the balcony, looking at the silver maple tree in the distance, Laurent gently hugged the nun in black: "I feel relieved now."
"Lu Yu seems to have made a decision that satisfies you?"
"I have a hunch that his next actions will also satisfy me... City Lord Colin probably didn't expect that Lu Yu's advice was poisonous. In his opinion, it was the best choice... In fact, He had no better choice."
Laurender said: "He is really similar to Serra... If he appeared earlier, I would really like him to take the position of Archbishop of the Tribunal."
"Will he be willing?" asked the nun in black. "Even if he is willing, will Lulu be willing?"
Laurent was stunned for a moment and laughed to himself.
After the wind blew for a while, and at the urging of the nun in black, Laurent returned indoors again.
"Bring that thing from last time."
The nun in black was stunned for a moment, and then with a smile, she took out two documents that had been drafted from the secret compartment on the wall.
The densely packed names on the first document were carefully read out by Laurend one by one. Along with the sound, Laurend immediately recalled the past of these people in his mind.
He always had a good memory, and many Theocracy members who had only met him a few times would often be moved to tears by the few anecdotes he casually told about him.
Mera's Three Kingdoms described this as Laurent's art of control, but... Laurent simply wanted to understand the cornerstones of the Theocracy, and happened to write it down.
Looking at the familiar names, Laurent picked up the pen and made the final check.
The nun in black didn't say anything. After Laurende had done all this, she silently put away the documents. The entire process was about the final fate of the people who were checked on the questionnaire.
There were only a few names on the second document, but this time, Laurent held the document and looked into the distance sadly.
His eyes traveled through time and returned to the time when he first ascended to the throne of Pope.
Eighty years passed quickly, and the only person left by his side was the nun in black.
With a life approaching a hundred years old, he has experienced too many joys and sorrows in this world. He originally thought that there would be no more fluctuations in anything, but at this moment...
Laurent shed tears and picked up the pen decisively.
The nun in black cut her finger, and Laurent was stained with blood. She waved it continuously, and then she fell on the bed as if she had lost all her strength, no longer looking at the bloody document.
"Take it away and let David and the others arrange it immediately."
"I've given everything that should be given... They want too many things, too heavy... I can't give them, and neither will the future Theocracy."
"Tell them that the fault is mine, not theirs. If they can see the God of Glory...their resentment will be borne by me."
"God of Glory...may those unhappy souls rest in peace."
