The ruins of the God War, the Silent Courtyard, and Ke Luoqian's second workshop.
Vermeer wore an apron, tied her hair, and was busy in the kitchen with an iron spoon.
She didn't notice the flour on her face and was very satisfied with the finished product stewed in the pot.
"hey-hey……"
"Okay, don't be silly," Ayi stood in front of the stove next to her, also wearing an apron, and skillfully thickened the soup in the pot, "Let's move quickly, we will have to give up the kitchen to Shaye and Eluse.”
"Okay, okay, then it's Luyi and Athetana," Vermeer clapped her hands, "I didn't expect that everyone would have to cook. I'm really looking forward to how today's dinner will be~"
Ayi Ning sighed.
Isn't this the idea you came up with in the first place?
I have been cooking for my master and sister since I was a child, and I am very confident in my cooking skills. But smelling the rich aroma of milk coming from there, I usually prepare exquisite desserts for everyone. Vermeer is also very accomplished in this aspect.
In this way, divert attention...
Ayi Ning picked up the beef after the juice had been reduced and was suddenly stunned.
"I thought your pudding was still in the stove?"
"Ah...!" Vermeer raised her head in surprise, quickly put down the spoon in her hand, and took out heat-resistant gloves and iron tongs to get the pudding.
Seeing her slightly distracted, Ayi Ning pursed her lips.
She said she believed unconditionally, but she still couldn't help but feel anxious while waiting. I'm afraid only she herself knew how she felt.
"..."
But I am not qualified to say that she is.
I hope that guy who will never fall into a passive position under any circumstances can really live up to their carefully prepared surprises.
At this moment, the kitchen door was pushed open, and Belle rushed in with a look of panic.
"Outside outside—!"
Wei Mier and Ayi Ning looked at each other.
"What's going on outside? Someone broke in?" Wei Mier asked aloud.
Belle didn't look like Luo Wei had come back early, and with those four people guarding her outside, it was impossible for anything unexpected to happen.
The cat lady held the door and responded: "It's not that I broke in, but there are many people surrounding me outside. I'm afraid they are going to fight with that dangerous person!"
"Which dangerous person?" Ayi Ning frowned.
After hearing the answer, both of them looked down at the same time, put down the lamb soup and beef in the pot, and immediately took off their aprons and went out.
When they came outside, Shaye was already standing in the middle of the steps holding a gun, and below her, outside the realm of Athena's beast god——
Marcus Callendale, the East Marshal of the Hooffire Empire, was standing there.
"What are you doing here?" Vermeer quickly rushed to Shaye's side, and Atetana's reminder came to her mind.
Marcus's feet were only one step away from the realm of the Beast God, and behind him were a crowd of members of various forces, all staring at him with red eyes.
"Let Lovie Brook come out, I will ask him about the whereabouts of a person and then leave."
"He's not here." Vermeer said without changing her eyes.
The Hooffire Empire destroyed many people's homes. According to the news from Yingsuo, Marcus, as the marshal, was wanted by the whole city of Crownless City today.
It's not surprising that the other party came to Luo Wei, but at this point, the war was all lost, and there was no guarantee that he wouldn't do something crazy.
"Oh? What a coincidence. Why is he not there every time I come to see him?"
Marcus laughed to himself, as if he couldn't see the people behind him at all, and looked down at the field on the ground.
"There are really a lot of rats outside, so - can I go in and wait?"
"no."
Vermeer shook her head firmly.
Not only did they have to cover up Luo Wei's whereabouts and prevent anyone from disturbing him, but they also couldn't let Marcus enter the workshop in front of so many forces.
This is not only a matter of sheltering him. It is inappropriate to let such a dangerous existence in without clear countermeasures, no matter what his intentions are.
Marcus looked at her and sneered.
"You look weak, but this is the second time you have rejected my proposal without reservation. Shouldn't you say that you are not as opinionated as you seem?"
"Thanks."
Vermeer naturally didn't think this was a compliment, but her answer still made people break into cold sweats.
Shaye stood silently in the center, while Ayi Ning stood coldly on the other side. All three of them were ready to intercept at any time.
Further up, Athetana was sitting in the pavilion, and Elise leaned aside and looked down casually, which was daunting.
"That's fine," Marcus smiled nonchalantly, closed his eyes and turned around to look at those who hated him, "Then I'll wait here. In the meantime, it doesn't matter if you come together."
"I don't think that's necessary."
A cold voice came from the back of the crowd, and everyone looked over there. A black-haired man wearing a black cloak and a black coat stood there, holding several shoe boxes in his hand. He looked like he had just arrived. Come back after leisurely shopping.
Everyone: "..."
Wei Mier's eyes brightened, but she quickly noticed that now was not the time to be happy, and quickly controlled her expression to look fierce.
The crowd made a way for him, and while Luo Wei put the finished magic potion into his cloak, he shook his head and sighed, his tone full of complaints.
"Why are you here again?"
He walked to a place three or four meters away from Marcus. The other person looked at the things he was holding and frowned for a moment. It didn't look like he was deliberately pretending at all.
There were whispers coming from the side.
"I heard that he was actually shopping with a beautiful girl on South Street today."
"Are you sure...Wuguan City was bombed just yesterday?"
"I received it too...it's absolutely true."
Marcus' expression changed. He had just experienced the war yesterday, and today he was shopping with a woman. He began to doubt whether the other party was as informed as he thought.
Luo Wei stopped there, his brows furrowed deeper than him.
"Why, are you standing there trying to block me from going home?"
"I don't put as much thought into it as you do. I came here to ask you a question." Marcus responded.
"Then you have to let me go back and put down my things," Luo Wei shook his head, "Are you interested in what I'm holding?"
Marcus was silent for a moment.
"What's that in your hand?"
He originally didn't plan to ask, but the other party mentioned it deliberately to confirm whether he was really not doing his job properly.
Luo Wei sighed and took out the box from the bag, and the eyes behind him followed it. After tinkering for a while, he displayed all the contents inside——
Women's shoes.
Several different styles, but all women's shoes.
Everyone: "..."
Vermeer shrank her neck.
Hmm...why is he buying so many girls' shoes...
Luo Wei put them away one by one, stood up and spread his hands: "Is it possible that Marshal Dongdong is very interested in women's shoes?"
"Thank you Bu Min."
Marcus shook his head and backed away.
It happens that such a person is most likely to have the information he wants.
Luo Wei walked straight over and couldn't help laughing when he saw Wei Mier's deliberately stern face.
Why is there still flour on my face?
There is no way to convince people with this kind of momentum... Really.
He handed over the bag in his hand, pinched her face and said, "Put it away for me. You will need it in the future."
Well……
Who uses it? Does he use it?
()
Didn't you go get the divine core?
She knew that now was not the time to inquire carefully, so she just looked at him holding the bags.
"Is...is everything going well?"
"That's right," Luo Wei said calmly to reassure them, and then half-turned around, "But if such a troublesome person comes to find them, it may not be so smooth."
Ayi Ning stared at him with her eyes.
The level of divine power in the body is still thin, but it tends to stabilize, and it looks like he has taken the divine core of a demon god and become a god.
This... what exactly is the situation?
Luo Wei felt that he had died in Ayi Ning's eyes a thousand times again, and felt helpless for a moment.
Although he has not changed much now, in fact, he is the same as a walking strategic weapon. If someone really stabs him in the back, I am afraid that it will not be the Craftsmen Guild but him who will destroy Crownless City.
"I don't dare to let you in," Rowe retracted his thoughts and looked at Marcus, "There is such a large group of people behind you. If you have questions to ask, can you please move to a place that won't cause me trouble."
Marcus sighed slowly and turned to the group behind him again.
Although he carries hatred, the courage of a peak level three god is no joke.
"No, no, no, no," Luo Wei quickly stopped him, "Can you please stop bleeding like a river at my door? If it doesn't work, I'll find a place."
Marcus put away his fists.
"good."
…
after a while.
Wuguancheng East Street, the movie hostel, Fenghua Tea House.
Lewis: "..."
He looked at the two people sitting opposite and then at the situation outside the teahouse, his sallow complexion darkening.
Why did you bring Marcus here? ?
Luo Wei waved his hand to signal him to calm down, "Come, drink tea."
Lewis didn’t even dare to pick it up.
Our movie hostel is a secret organization...! You brought the wanted criminal who was being hunted all the way to me in such a swagger, the Lion Garden and the Dragon Clan are both looking for me... to kill you!
"Have you not experienced this kind of storm?" Luo Wei personally brewed a pot of tea and poured it to him. "We will leave soon. The information here may affect the subsequent changes in Wuguan City."
"I really didn't see the wrong person at first..."
Lewis patted his face and shook his head.
"Forget it, you guys can talk as soon as possible, I'll go out and block it for you."
He left quickly.
Undoubtedly, Yingsu's stronghold is the most suitable for secret conversations, but considering their position, it is best not to delay too long.
In fact, Luo Wei had already expected what Marcus was going to ask, but he couldn't just take him there directly, otherwise he wouldn't listen to his explanation by then.
"Since you said time is tight, I asked directly," Marcus took a sip of tea and looked at him coldly, "do you know where Felica is."
it is as expected.
Today, Marcus doesn't look as heroic as before. His face is stained with black coal, and his white hair falls on his head, but his eyes are still extremely sharp.
He was originally one of the best commanders in the world, but now he looks like a down-and-out ranger who only acts for personal motives and revenge.
The object of revenge is self-evident.
"I do know where Felica is, but I'm afraid you are mistaken about the key point."
"You don't need to worry about it. You just need to tell me where she is, and I will ask her for the rest."
After Luo Wei drank a glass, he poured himself another glass, raised it and said calmly:
"What if I say, I have imprisoned her for several months?"
"!!"
Marcus's pupils shrank obviously. His first reaction was to think of some possibility, but he immediately ruled it out.
"Are you thinking that I was actually the one who made the ancient magic weapon?" Luo Wei laughed at himself, "This idea is as ridiculous as your thinking that this is her plan."
There is no doubt that Marcus regards Felica as the first person responsible for holding accountable.
The order he received was probably to exchange the blood of Hoofuo Empire soldiers for a new god at any cost. After being reminded by him that he was kept in the dark last time, Marcus should have investigated some things and caught the clues left by Felica.
However in reality.
The new god created in the end looked like this. How could Marcus accept the blood of the imperial soldiers being shed in vain?
"She also has a magic doll. Even if she is gone, the doll will execute her ideas perfectly."
"Yes, yes, you are right," Luo Wei spread his hands, "So it was torn down that night. Where did you see the word perfect?"
For the sake of the empire's plan, he forced himself to follow orders against his will, and he did not want to judge Marshal Dong's position. But taking his anger out on the wrong person, he is now like a beast whose dignity has been insulted and anger takes over.
Regardless of his opinion, Luo Wei actually had no intention of rejecting his request.
"I can take you to see her and explain the cause and effect clearly in front of you two, but I also have a request -"
"What's the request?" Marcus lowered his head in frustration after learning this. "In fact, I am no longer the marshal of the Hooffire Empire."
"What?"
Luo Wei was stunned for a moment, and then quickly figured it out.
Marcus returned in defeat and was probably held accountable within the empire, but in order to let the dead soldiers rest in peace, he escaped and decided to seek revenge on Felica.
"It's ironic, isn't it?" Marcus raised his head slightly and smiled sarcastically, "I have never disobeyed the empire's orders in my whole life, and now I am in this situation."
"I do know some truth about your past deeds." Luo Wei said with a bitter smile.
Marcus is a god who was killed in war.
The cruel rumors in the legend are also true, but few people understand the premise - when the empire abolished the aristocracy, the fire of rebellion burned all over the land, and the Eastern Territory was burned, killed and plundered by the Iron King tribe, with corpses everywhere. Thousands of people died tragically, and even more people were devastated by the war, and there were severe blood marks on the ground.
When the gap in combat power of the garrison was so huge that it could not be made up, if it were not for a certain man who was only a mid-level officer at that time, he led hundreds of people into the enemy's rear and killed in a way that dehumanized them, killing them until the enemy heard about him. His legs trembled at his name, and the eastern border of the empire had long been a scorched earth.
From then on, Marcus no longer resisted any order given to him by the empire. No matter how many people there were or whether the equipment was different, he was invincible and victorious. Just saying his name could scare the enemy.
After the war, people only remembered his cruelty and the terrifying experience of becoming a god, but no longer asked about his reasons.
But it is obvious that with Marcus here, the East is as stable as a mountain.
However, now, the empire has ordered him to fail. It is impossible that the marshal has not questioned it, but in the end he still chose to obey and exchange the lives of himself and his subordinates for the future of the empire.
If it were Luo Wei, he would definitely not be able to accept that after paying such a consciousness and price, he would end up with this result.
"I'm still waiting for your request." Marcus looked at him with an iron face.
"My request is simple."
Luo Wei took a deep breath, opened his eyes and said to him:
"After meeting Felica, don't do anything under any circumstances. She is actually the same victim as you in this matter."
The Hoof Fire Empire is basically out of this dispute.
But since the Craftsmen's Association has reached such a point of betrayal and separation, the revenge of the two marshals of the East and West can be worth looking forward to.
In particular, Felica's magical skills might be able to break through the door more easily than Kexi, find the location of the Craftsmen's Guild faster, and let the Craftsmen's Guild's plan become a sacrifice for him to become a godhead.
So obviously.
What Luo Wei has to do——
Just help them find the right target.
