The emergence of a mad scholar in the Lower City caused a commotion in Xumi City.
According to those drinkers, the Great Sage even personally issued a notice in the Void Terminal to apologize for this incident.
His gesture also flattered the civilians of Xumi City.
Now the topics discussed by the drinkers around Lin Feng have all become matters related to mad scholars.
Lin Feng took a sip of wine from time to time and listened carefully to what they said.
Afratu was the first scholar to go crazy in Lower City, but he was not the first scholar to go crazy in Sumeru City.
There are two porters among the drinkers who deliver goods from Lower Town to Uptown every day.
The two of them said categorically that in this period of time alone, they had seen the discipline officers arrest no fewer than ten mad scholars.
These are not the point.
The important thing is that they said that the Great Sage always loses his temper for no reason recently, and many guards have been punished.
For this reason, they both complained to others because the guards were always changing, so they had to go through the check-in procedures again and again, which caused a lot of trouble.
"Only a dozen or so?"
Lin Feng rubbed his chin and smiled: "Seno's efficiency is quite high."
Then listen.
Someone was talking about the Grand Bazaar. Lin Feng already knew about this and ignored it.
The things that some people gossip about among the sages are all nonsense and ignored.
Someone mentioned the demon scale patients in Zen Garden. Lin Feng thought it was interesting. After listening for a while, he found that it was all personal conjecture with no impact, so he ignored it again.
After passing through an unknown number of people, Lin Feng finally heard an interesting piece of news.
The Order imprisoned and tortured the little Lucky Grass King.
The speaker wrapped his head with a turban and wore a mask on his face, with only his eyes exposed.
This is really outrageous.
So this person didn't dare to speak loudly, so he kept talking to others in a low voice, talking about noses with eyes. If Lin Feng hadn't known that this was true, he would have almost laughed.
"A parody."
This is Lin Feng's evaluation.
This person who spreads rumors is either sent by Seno or Desiya.
The tattoos on this guy's arms give him away.
Tribal people.
These two people are the only ones in Sumeru City who have the ability to make the tribesmen willingly spread such treacherous rumors.
However, Lin Feng is more inclined to think that this is the person Seno found.
After all, Desiya is just a mercenary leader. Although his subordinates are desert people, most of them don't have such tribal tattoos.
And the reason why he said it was a parody.
Simply because this kind of behavior of spreading rumors to undermine the credibility of national institutions is a tactic he has already mastered.
If you spread rumors, you will lose your legs if you refute them.
This sentence has long been played out by him.
When we were in Mondstadt, we almost bankrupted the reputation of the Knights of the West Wind. Inazuma's trouble was even worse, and the Kamisato family had to urgently come to Yae Kamiko for help.
Sai Nuo also came from an intelligence background, so naturally he also learned about some of Lin Feng's past tricks.
I just didn't expect that Sano would also start imitating and spreading rumors.
This is such a childish way of spreading rumors.
Are you dressing up like a thief because you are afraid that others will believe what you say?
Isn’t it stupid!
Especially when the tribesmen were asked to deal with this matter.
Doesn't Sai Nuo know that the people in the city are extremely repulsive to the tribesmen? Will the city people believe what the tribesmen say?
Even if the status of the people in the lower city is not as good as that in the upper city, in the eyes of the people in the lower city, they also despise the tribesmen.
This chain of contempt has been in place for hundreds of years.
You are letting tribesmen spread rumors now because you are afraid that you will not be exposed, right?
really.
When Lin Feng was laughing in his heart, the door of the tavern was pushed open with a bang again.
The person who came this time was not as polite as the person who captured Afratu. As soon as he came in, he went straight to the real owner in a fierce manner.
When the tribesman saw something was wrong, he immediately jumped out of the window and ran away.
The thirty-man regiment of mercenaries who came to capture him hurriedly chased him noisily, not caring about the damage they caused in the tavern.
"interesting."
Lin Feng left a few moras on the table and followed them quietly.
Harriman moved confidently up and down downtown.
He was born in the desert and has been fighting sandstorms and monsters in the yellow sand since he was a child. These battles have allowed him to develop good skills. Even in the siege of the Holy Skeleton Beast, he can easily escape.
later.
He joined a mercenary group called the Hand of Ahmar.
Following this mercenary group, he burned, killed, and looted in the desert, doing everything except personnel matters, until later, the woman he kidnapped gave him a son.
The birth of his son made Harriman ecstatic, but his son's disappearance plunged him into endless grief.
He finally understood how the parents of the tribesmen who died under his machete would feel when they saw the corpses.
He finally realized what kind of sins he had committed in the past.
all of these.
It all came to an end when Gale Disciplinary Seno brought his son to him.
Harriman will never forget that day.
He cried bitterly and knelt at the feet of Seno, while Seno led his son and said coldly: "Spend the rest of your life to pay for your sins. Only in this way will this child remember that he has a man named Harriman." 's father."
Harriman doesn't remember exactly what he said that day.
He only remembered that he said a lot of things in the name of Lord Red King that day, until Lord Saino was satisfied and returned his son to him.
And there are hundreds of people like him who have redeemed their sins under Lord Seno.
Each of them possesses special skills and is loyal to Lord Seno, using their own skills to atone for the sins they have committed.
"Hmph, the lackeys of the Order are still such useless people. With just this little ability, they still want to catch up with me."
After several twists and turns, Harriman easily got rid of the pursuers of the thirty-man regiment.
The skills he developed in the desert are not comparable to this group of mercenaries who have been corrupted by city life.
Just when Harriman changed his clothes and prepared to complete the task assigned by Xenobu, a joking voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Good skills."
"!!!"
Harriman was shocked and swung his scimitar in an attempt to kill the stranger who suddenly appeared.
Murdering in Xumi City is a serious crime, and if he is caught, he will have to spend the rest of his life in prison.
But he must do it.
Master Sainuo's plan was ruined, and he and his son were both unable to eat and walked around.
Ding--
However, what horrified Harriman was that the scimitar he had chopped down with all his strength was caught between the young man's two fingers. Judging from his expression, he showed no use of force at all.
This is a person who cannot be his opponent at all!
After realizing this, Harriman immediately let go and spit out the poison stuck in his teeth with a movement of his mouth.
This is the consciousness of these redeemers.
Once you can't atone for your sins with actions, then use your life to atone for your sins.
But Harriman moved quickly, and Lin Feng moved even faster.
When Harriman licked hard in his mouth, he knew who this person under Seno was.
Death warrior.
The same dead warrior as in the final episode of the Kamisato family.
He is also the most loyal soldier who commits suicide immediately after failing a mission.
"Awesome, we have raised such dead soldiers."
Lin Feng sighed as he pinched Harriman's neck, used grass elemental power to block the spread of poison, and then used healing techniques to forcibly dispel the poison in him.
"Cough cough cough——"
Harriman coughed violently, and then subconsciously groped around his body again.
"Stop touching it. Those gadgets on your body have long been out of date. I can tell what you have on you at a glance."
Lin Feng said angrily: "Why are you so anxious to die? I was the person invited by Sai Nuo. I came to you because your method of spreading rumors was too clumsy. What are you so anxious about? Wait until I finish. Words."
"."
Harriman was stunned.
One of our own?
hiss--
Doesn't that mean.
Out of caution, Harriman still confirmed: "Do you have a warrant from Lord Seno?"
"Warrant? What do I need that thing for?"
Lin Feng curled his lips and said: "Don't think so much. If I were a member of the Order, you should be in the prison of the Order, instead of standing here talking to me with all your hair and tail."
"Well"
This made sense, but Harriman was still a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Lin Feng muttered: "This Seno's men are really loyal."
He stopped explaining and asked Harriman directly: "How many people did Sai send to spread the rumor that the God of Grass was imprisoned by the Order?"
"Ah this."
Such a straightforward question completely confused Harriman.
He didn't know what to say.
to be honest? If this person is an undercover agent from the Imperial Academy who comes to inquire about the information, it will ruin all of Master Seno's plans.
Talk about fake flowers? Then if this person is really Lord Seno's collaborator, then he won't be the one who is easily ruined.
The dilemma left Harriman at a loss.
"Oh, forget it, I've been asking for a long time and still can't come up with anything."
Seeing that he was still suspicious, Lin Feng waved with interest and chatted: "Come on, come on."
Harriman hesitated, but walked over.
As soon as he walked in front of Lin Feng, Lin Feng started scolding him with a tone of hatred.
"You idiots, who taught you to spread rumors like this? Seno?"
"No, it's not, we thought of it ourselves."
"Yourselves? Ha, no wonder, you are so stupid."
"."
"Come on, I'll teach you how to do it. Listen up. First, can you tribesmen wander around Xumi City so openly? Don't you know how wary the people of the Order are against you? Huh? Don’t you know how much the people in the city despise your tribesmen? Do you think what you say is different from farts in their ears? "
"."
Speaking of this, Harriman smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, how could we not know what you said, but we really can't believe others."
"Stupid." Lin Feng snorted: "Why do you have to believe those people?"
"Huh?" Harriman was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lin Feng meant.
"Use money, money, it's impossible for Sano not to give you working capital, right?"
Lin Feng glanced at Harriman and saw that he looked thoughtful, so he continued: "Have you ever heard that money can make all the difference?"
"without"
"Then you heard it today." Lin Feng said angrily: "Mora is the most fascinating thing in the world. The people in Xumi City are not gods or immortals. They need mola for their food, clothing, housing and transportation. Come and maintain it, there should be many people living tightly in Xumi City."
The more Lin Feng spoke, the more Harriman's eyes shone brighter, and he suddenly realized: "Yes, sir, you are right, even in Xumi City, there are people like us desert people who never stop eating. .”
"So, if a large sum of money is put in front of them and they are asked to say something, do you think they will do it?"
"Yes, my lord, yes, they will."
Harriman seemed to have enlightened himself and said eloquently: "The people who live the most difficult life in the lower city only earn one hundred and eighty moola a day. This money is only enough to feed a strong young man. If he drags his family with him, Those with mouths can only drink some gruel and eat dry bread. We don’t need to give them too much, we only need one or two thousand molas, and they will definitely be willing to sacrifice their lives.”
"very good."
Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction. This Harriman was very smart and understood quickly.
After saying this, he continued: "Remember the first key to spreading rumors. You must be fast. Let your rumors spread throughout Xumi City as quickly as possible. The more people discussing it, the better."
"Also, don't say anything like, 'Ah, did you know? The Imperial Academy has imprisoned the Little Lucky Grass King'."
"If I were a Sumeru person who heard this, my first reaction would not be this, but whether there is something wrong with your brain."
"The Jiaolingyuan imprisons the Little Lucky Grass King. Does this have anything to do with the lives of the Sumeru people?"
"If your little Lucky Grass King is imprisoned, will the Sumeru people not be able to make money or eat?"
"Do you know how many people in Xumi still believe in the Little Lucky Grass King?"
"So you seem to be extremely busy now, but apart from getting a group of thirty people to set up a dragnet to catch you, what else can it do?"
Harriman's face turned red at these words.
He has now realized that the young man in front of him seems to be really sent by Master Seno to help.
After thinking about this, he bit his lip and asked, "Sir, please tell us what to do."
"Well, it's okay. I'm not hopelessly stupid."
Lin Feng continued to point out: "If you want to spread rumors in Xumi City, what is the fastest way to do it? Think about it carefully."
Harriman thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Void Terminal?"
"That's right, Void Terminal, there are scholars in the Teaching Academy who are responsible for issuing announcements, right?"
"Yes, my lord."
"Then write a short essay and directly write about the tyranny of the Holy Order, the oppression of the common people, and the blasphemy of the gods. No matter what you make up is true, write it in. And don't just write about how the Holy Order imprisoned the Little Lucky Grass King. It's useless. Let's make it The blasphemy thing is sandwiched in there and becomes one of the topics that everyone is talking about, you know?”
"I understand, sir." Harriman thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and said in a fierce tone: "Then we kidnapped the scholar's family and forced him to publish this article."
"Yeah, not bad. I learn quickly."
Lin Feng chuckled, this is a talented person, he can draw inferences from one case to another.
Harriman was still talking to himself there: "Pay money to buy public opinion in the upper class, and kidnap money to buy public opinion in the upper class."
His eyes became brighter and brighter, and then he saluted excitedly: "Sir, I understand. I understand everything you said. I will go and gather the brothers to do as you say."
