Chapter 125 124. Double Act and Compensation

Watching Sigrid take out the knife and walk towards him step by step, Devin struggled violently, but after resisting the irradiation of the Soul-Cleansing Light, he was exhausted. How could he escape under the pressure of Hogu?

"Don't..."

With no chips in his hand, Devin looked at Aesop not far away in horror.

"Interesting eyes."

Seeing Aesop start to struggle, Devin, who thought he could catch a glimmer of hope, heard Lu Yu speak lightly.

Aesop did want Lu Yu to stop at the first time, and wanted to take the people here back and let his father deal with them.

But Lu Yu's words brought him back to his senses.

Devin looked at himself at the first time, proving that he knew very well that the only one here who would have compassion and was able to save him was himself.

And the reason why he made such a judgment was because he was kind enough.

A strange sense of resistance arose spontaneously, and the words that were about to be said were swallowed.

Aesop didn't know what this feeling was, but he had made a decision and turned his head away.

Lu Yu was very satisfied with Aesop's performance and waved his hand.

Sigrid cut Devin's throat with a knife without hesitation. He was suppressed by Hogu's magic power and could not struggle at the end. He could only cover his bleeding throat and grab in the direction of Aesop.

Sigrid wiped the blood off the knife and walked slowly towards the old Moore.

The old Moore, who couldn't speak, was horrified. Devin, who was also a sixth-level magician, was bleeding on the spot. He thought that a sacrifice was enough to calm the anger of the dragon and Lu Yu, but it seemed far from that.

He was so weak that he couldn't argue and his face turned red with anxiety.

Seeing that Sigrid had already started the process, the 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 exhausted sanctuary elves.

Aesop thought Lu Yu had already vented enough anger, so he agreed naturally. However, the female guard leader beside Aesop saw some clues. When she escorted the elves of the sanctuary away, she deliberately did not take Old Moore with her.

A dinner party led to poisoning and assassination, a falling dragon, and the death of a sixth-level magician. Aesop couldn't help feeling dizzy.

The anger was dispersed by confusion. Aesop covered his head and sat on the chair, a little at a loss.

Because Aesop's guard leader cleared the scene, only Old Moore, an eyesore, was left at the scene.

Being stared at by the dragon and the dragon girl, and with two clouds of black and white fog around him, his heart was pounding.

How could he deserve such treatment?

Judging from the situation at the scene, he was unlikely to die. After all, he could kill him directly, and Lu Yu was not the kind of person who would hesitate.

While he was thinking about it, Lu Yu pulled Aesop and dragged two chairs to him.

"Old Moore, congratulations, my plan to kill you has been abandoned."

Because he couldn't speak, Old Moore, who was limp on the ground, forced himself to kneel and salute Lu Yu to express his submission and respect.

"Don't get me wrong, although I have a good temper, you all want to kill me, and turning you all into corpses is my usual style."

Old Moore pressed his head to the ground in fear, and with a humble attitude, he would never think of being an enemy of Lu Yu.

Sigrid and Hogu couldn't stand the villainy of Old Moore. A sixth-level magician, an old elf who had lived for hundreds of years, was about to step into the grave. In order to survive, he didn't want any dignity.

If Lu Yu hadn't been here, Hogu would have added another breath of soul-cleansing light to turn him into a wisp of green smoke.

"It was Aesop who pleaded for you, and said that losing too many sanctuary elves in a short period of time might cause the situation between Gran and Soresen to lose balance, so you saved your life."

Old Moore quickly turned his head to Aesop.

Because of this, he did not see the flash of confusion on Aesop's face.

However, Aesop reacted quickly, and he immediately frowned.

"But..."

Old Moore looked up quickly, extremely nervous.

"Although Aesop bypassed you, this matter cannot be left here. Among the group of sanctuary elves, the few who have the most opinions about Aesop, you have to find them out, and they will all die."

Old Moore already knew what Lu Yu was going to do, he did not dare to disobey, and nodded repeatedly.

When Old Moore recovered his strength, he immediately found the list of sanctuary elves who went to the Silent Mountains this time and drew a line on it.

"Why, do you look down on people like Old Moore?"

Seeing Sigrid and Hogu both look contemptuous, Lu Yu asked with a smile.

"He is servile and spineless, he should not live." Hogu said.

"It is because he is such a person that I will let him live." Lu Yu patted Aesop's shoulder.

Before, Lu Yu learned from Aesop that Old Moore was a classic profit-seeking person.

Such a spineless person, after seeing the strength of Huo Gu and knowing that Huo Gu lived in the Silent Mountains, would certainly be respectful to Aesop.

Because he could see the relationship between Lu Yu and Aesop.

He personally wrote the list of the sanctuary elves who opposed Aesop, which was equivalent to forcing him to Aesop's side.

Once Aesop got into trouble, he would not only worry about Lu Yu coming back to settle accounts with him, but also worry that when he was liquidated, people would regard him as Aesop's man.

Lu Yu patiently told Aesop about 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 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 came back, it started to rain lightly, and the bloody smell in the air had not dissipated, lingering faintly 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 passionately 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 down, 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. When he came into contact with most people in Thoresen, he always gave people a feeling of spring breeze.

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 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 are left with a huge problem in front of them, giving 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 think?"

"Agree."

"I have no objection."

No one wants to have anything to do with the Devin family at this time. Anyway, it's not them who are unlucky, so it's the right thing to do to cut off ties quickly.

The Elf King asked again: "Sir Lu Yu, are you satisfied with this compensation plan?"

"What if the Devin family can't meet what I want?"

"Then Soresen will try his best to meet your requirements."

The Elf King said while signaling Aesop, who had a good relationship with Lu Yu, to say something.

Aesop walked to Lu Yu belatedly: "After all, this is a crazy move by Devin to pursue a breakthrough in rank. Sir Lu Yu, please don't misunderstand Soresen because of this."

Aesop's words attracted a round of echoes from the nobles.

Lu Yu didn't say anything. He took out the list of Lulutis's transformation potion again.

"You didn't find anything for me last time. Now, I hope you can show me some sincerity."

The Elf King quickly circulated the list among the nobles, and soon someone pointed out that the Devin family happened to have the items Lu Yu needed.

It's really interesting. Last time, the Elf King handed over this list for searching. The people below couldn't find anything after searching for a long time, and couldn't even provide clues. Now, there is a clue all of a sudden.

Two other families close to the Dewen territory volunteered to send messages to their clansmen, asking them to fetch the items on the list for Lu Yu.

Lu Yu didn't stop the people from these two families. He knew very well that if these people went, they would not just help him collect materials.

But he was too lazy to mention it.

If Dewen hadn't been so mean and intended to kill him, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Taking this opportunity, he hoped to let Aesop remember a truth deeply.

It's not a good thing to be considered kind all the time, because powerless kindness often brings the label of weakness and bullying.

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 world is so realistic.

Lu Yu continued to make demands: "In addition to the materials on the list, I want half of his family's property, all of which must be exchanged for versatile magic materials. Don't fool me, otherwise the dragon you woke up will not mind setting your territory on fire."

"Of course, you can also choose to kill the dragon, but it is related to my promise to him, I will definitely stand on the same front with him, even if Aesop intercedes."

The two families who sent people to Devin's house just now sent a panic message again and issued new rules for confiscating the house.

No one of the nobles present felt that this naked act of cannibalism was inappropriate, but rather felt a little 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.
