The member of the medical team with a good nose finally recalled what this special smell was. It was precisely because she knew the greatest use of this herb that she hurriedly informed Lu Yu.
Royer stared at Xia Leim and hesitated to speak. Thinking of Gulu who might appear here at any time, he said: "Dream grass."
Sharem's face was expressionless, and Sera seemed to be mentally prepared.
Dream grass is an herb that combines hallucinogenic, calming, and soothing effects. Chewing it dry without any refinement and sucking the juice can give you a "dream-like" experience, and you can see another bizarre world. In some places, It is widely used in hallucinogenic potions. In addition, the folk treatment of it is usually to crush it and suck the slurry.
Lulu came back, she took the pills from Lu Yu's hand, just stuck out her tongue and licked it, and then immediately "sucked" it out, which made many of Roye's followers feel distressed.
"In addition to dream grass, what else."
Royer closed his eyes: "Don't you taste it all?"
The flame in Lulu's hand burned the black ball into ashes in an instant, but the diffuse smoke made Sigrid next to her a little dizzy. It was just dizziness. The dragon bloodline is highly resistant to many negative effects.
"Dream grass is a cheap, low-harm hallucinogen. Many territorial lords will add some to the meals of slaves to appease their resentment and prevent them from thinking of resistance... But the ingredients you added have already made It has become addictive." Lulu gritted her teeth, "Do you know what you are doing!"
"Only if you are willing to give me time to explain."
"please."
Roye stopped sitting. He stood up, looked at Xialem, and wanted to move forward, but Xialem immediately grabbed Xiao Niba's tail and took two steps back.
She didn't say anything, her eyes were as lazy and calm as in the memories of the past ten years, as if she would fall asleep in the next second, and she didn't care about the world. She just needed someone willing to hold her hand. Just be willing to open your eyes and take a few more steps.
"With the end of the Infested Spirit War, the population of the Northern Territory dropped by 70%. Most of the few survivors, the warriors who were active in the Northern Territory and fought for their homeland, suffered from severe hysteria. Every quiet night, they tossed and turned. The chirping of cicadas can make them stand up in sweat, the wind blowing through the leaves will make them see the overwhelming, whistling noise, and even the faint rustling sound during hunting can make them have visions. now."
Roye said quietly: "The North is destroyed, and the homeless people in the North are also sick. Even the bravest magician will be frightened by the roar of crows... I need these potions, he can at least Let the soldiers, magicians, and homeless people abandoned by Solon have a peaceful sleep."
"In the early stages of stress disorder, you used calming and sleeping potions for treatment. I have no objection, but it has been more than three years since the infection, and you are still using it, and taking it as a sugar pill..." Lulu glanced at her. Distant entourage.
"Has Mera ever had peace since the brief period of peace across the continent after the infection ended? Where did they have the time to heal those unforgettable wounds." Royer asked, "Tanya and Zenil each have The black owl has been trying to behead me. In the past three years, although there has been no direct confrontation on the northern border, those infiltrations have indeed continued all day long."
"It's so ridiculous. It was Solon who obviously gave up the Northern Territory. They allowed the people in the Northern Territory to be eroded and killed. Even though they knew that there were still a large number of survivors in the Northern Territory, they turned a deaf ear to it. But now they are thinking of re-conquering the Northern Territory. Accept it back into your own territory... Why? Ask the group of people behind me, they are all infected survivors, if they are willing to become the 'People of Solon' again!"
The entourage who followed Royer had solemn faces and silently expressed their position.
The originally menacing Lulu was silent, and the morning light was at peace. Although she had experienced three fierce battles with the Dip, the Undead, and the Kraken, and had experienced several changes in the color of the world caused by unprecedented magic waves, overall, it was still calm, and the children who followed them continued. No civilians have been killed in battle, but in the north... they are really miserable.
The experience of poverty at a young age allowed Lulu to imagine how difficult it was for the survivors in the north during the first winter after the infection. The hellish scene seemed to be right in front of her eyes.
Lu Yu suddenly spoke: "If my information channel is correct, your territory became self-sufficient in the second winter, and a large number of people who had no way out due to the undead disaster set foot in the north. Looking for a glimmer of hope in the environment, you not only received supplementary population and labor force, but also doubled the area of cultivated land, and the grain harvesting has initially achieved results."
Royer smiled proudly: "There are many people who hate Solon, but they are also good enough. They were depressed when the Dewek family was in power, and they were reused by me. This turnaround was completed in just one year. It is the product of the concerted efforts of the Royal Dukedom."
Little Niba felt that the hand holding his tail trembled slightly, and Xia Leim seemed a little moved.
Sigrid was doing some calculations, calculating the minimum self-sufficiency standard to feed them based on the population of Royer Principality.
Sera raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lu Yu meaningfully, seeming to be hinting at something.
Lu Yu understood what Sera meant. He glanced at Xialem and asked casually: "Really? Has your Sligo smuggling channel been cut off?"
Augustus, who was accompanied by the consul, suddenly shuddered and did not dare to raise his head.
The surprise on Royer's face could not escape Xia Leim's eyes. She looked at Lu Yu in confusion, uneasiness spreading in her heart.
Mi Lai didn't have magical powers that could spread people to the vast northern border. After the raging spirit of the Drained Spirit, there were only a few empty houses there, and it was easy for strangers to be targeted. However, relying on the channels of some businessmen, she once reported to Lu Yu. A very small thing - Royer seems to have a smuggling channel leading straight to Sligo.
It was the first year after the Dip-infection attack. What could be smuggled out in the north of Solon, which was waiting to be renovated, in exchange for output, made Millai very confused. Now the question that confused her seemed to have a suitable answer.
Lu Yu continued: "Now that I understand the reason why you don't stop people around you from taking these pills, it's time to talk about the gifts you continue to send to Sligo. According to the scale, both Tanya and Zenil You haven’t noticed this yet, so you’ve done it covertly enough. Of course, it’s also possible that there are too many new forces in the Solon area, so they have no time to take care of it.”
Royer paused: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Lu Yu closed his eyes and laughed to himself. He rested his head on the cushion and stopped looking at Roye: "I thought you would at least make up a reason... Do you really want me to expose you?"
"If you believe Tanya or Zenil's propaganda against me, I have nothing to say..."
"enough!"
Lu Yu finally broke out. He stood up in a rage and shouted with great disappointment: "When did you become like this? Don't dare to admit it! Is this still the Roye I know? I regard him as a friend. I am willing to Roye, who seeks benefits for adventurers, takes care of the poor people he sees along the way, and is willing to draw a knife for Little Niba's family!"
The development of the incident made Xiao Niba tremble. On one side was Roye, who had saved her life, and on the other side was Lu Yu, who had given her knowledge and taken care of her for a long time. She hoped that the two could continue the conversation peacefully, but it seemed that they had It was an extravagant hope. Her hand was tightly held by Xialem, seeming to prevent her from moving forward.
The conflict caused Roye's entourage to stand up one after another, with vague magic lingering on their bodies.
The people in the combat team also stood up. Eunice, who was watching the show, blinked her eyes and thought about which skill she should call when the fight actually started?
"If this place is demolished, they won't punish me, right?" she thought.
Royer turned around and yelled angrily: "What are you doing? Sit back!"
His prestige was very high, and although his followers were dissatisfied, they still obeyed.
Lu Yu covered his face. Royer's performance made him feel complicated. He once again ignited a glimmer of hope and said feebly: "Noel in Sligo is much scarier than you think. You are on the border." He most likely knows about the transshipment stuff, but he just can’t get rid of it for the time being. He will not allow such stuff that can corrupt his people to spread, even if your intention may be to use it to harvest the wealth of Tanya and Zenil’s territory , strengthened itself, but the poison spread to Sligo."
Augustus broke out in cold sweat. He secretly glanced at Royer's expression, only to find that he was also staring at him.
Just when he was about to say something, Royer looked away and said to Lu Yu: "This is not a competition between countries. Businessmen are willing to sell this kind of goods, so they will ask us for supply. This is business. "
"Have you ever thought about what will happen to those addicted people?" Lu Yu asked.
Royer remained silent.
"Why are you silent? Do you know very clearly that your past self would never tolerate this sin, so you don't know how to answer!" Lu Yu pointed at himself, "Look at me, Roye, I want you to look at me I!"
"Lu Yu, I am the lord of the principality, and I have countless people under my rule. They are all expecting me to bring them a stable, stable and prosperous life. I am not the one who can wander around this land carefree. Adventurer." Royer emphasized, "I have my own responsibilities...I am different from you."
Charem closed her eyes in disappointment.
"Sooner or later, that poison will swallow up your principality together. In my hometown, I have seen many countries that condone similar products. They think they are just making and selling. The disaster belongs to the buyer and They have nothing to do with it, but as everyone knows, the backlash will come in an instant, and the wealth and resources you gather through it will eventually become the sharp blade that destroys the foundation of the principality!"
"I will impose strict bans."
"If the ban is effective, no one will commit a crime!" Lu Yu said angrily, "You have let everyone see the benefits. There are countless greedy people in the dark, and there are countless people who take desperate risks."
Lu Yu took a breath and advised earnestly: "Luo Ye, give up on it while you can still control it."
He knew very well that sooner or later, these pills would breed a huge criminal base. After tasting the huge profits it brought, people who came into contact with this business would no longer look at other trades.
Poison is destructive to any organizational structure that pursues stability.
Sooner or later, even if Roye sees that the principality is beginning to rot and tries to stop it, he will be suppressed by pairs of giant hands fed by pills.
The most important point... he serves as a transit point to launder his own Sligo smuggling channel, and there is a high probability that he will not be the country cut off by Noel.
Compared to Tanya and Zenil, Royer looks immature. If he faces Noel...
"Give up your pills and get rid of the person who gave you this idea. This seemingly smart method is actually destroying your stable organizational structure. Whether he is stupid or simply bad, he is really harming you. You have a group of people. The companions who were forced by Solon to gather together have a common goal and do not want to add variables."
"Don't touch Sligo. Noel is not as simple as he seems. If you want to improve the lives of your people, cooperating with him would be a good choice."
"As a friend, this is my last advice. Whether you listen to it or not, it's up to you and me..." Lu Yu sighed softly, "My benevolence and righteousness have been exhausted."
Zhang said that the breakfast change event will continue, no tickets are required, are you sure you don’t want one? Update at 3 a.m.: I feel like I have a cold, but I’m not sure, I’m suddenly tired, I don’t want to stay up anymore, I’m going to bed first, I’ll give you more at noon, let’s take it as afternoon tea.
