Chapter 42 42 The Respect of Yas III
Chapter 42 42. The Respect of King Yas III
"Your Majesty invites you."
What Old Turner said to Lu Yu in his ear surprised him.
The king is actually in the manor?
No wonder Old Turner, who was originally going to check the venue of the party, came to find Lu Yu in person. The news of the king's trip must be strictly blocked, and only his confidants can know it.
Following Old Turner, Lu Yu returned to the mansion and went all the way to the top floor.
The guards holding swords in the corridor on the top floor and the magicians covered in robes all cast their eyes.
The leader of the team reached out to stop Old Turner and Lu Yu and began to search Old Turner.
Lu Yu didn't expect the king to look for him, and Lulutis was still in his backpack.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lulutis had no way to escape from the sight of the crowd.
When the leader walked towards Lu Yu and asked Lu Yu to hand over the backpack to him for inspection, Lu Yu had no choice but to carry it hard.
"Sorry, the things in the backpack are my personal belongings, I don't want anyone to touch them."
Lu Yu deliberately spoke loudly.
The team leader was not angry because of Lu Yu's words. He explained seriously: "Mr. Marquis, we are also doing routine work. You need to go through this process to meet His Majesty. Please don't make things difficult for us."
"You have your difficulties, I have my rules."
"It doesn't matter. He is my guest. Let him go."
The door behind the team leader opened a crack, and a male voice stopped the team leader's action.
The team leader made way and opened the door of the room for Lu Yu.
There were two people in the room, a man and a woman.
The young man sitting behind the desk flipping through the old Turner's collection of books is naturally the king of the Yas Kingdom now.
As for the woman...
She has a black single ponytail, her eyes are as sharp as a hawk, and the scarf covers half of her face, so her specific appearance cannot be seen.
She is wearing a black nightgown and turning a knife in her hand. She also carries two swords behind her. It is hard to tell whether she is an assassin or a swordsman.
Or...she follows the Berserker Assassin style, where if the infiltration fails, killing everyone is considered a success?
The woman's eyes have not left Lu Yu since he entered the room.
Lu Yu clearly felt that she was very wary of his backpack.
"Lu Yu...?" Yas III read Lu Yu's name, "To be honest, your name is weird, but it's not the weirdest one I've ever seen."
"Oh, what's the weirdest name your majesty has ever heard?"
Yas III smiled but did not answer: "Your accent is also weird."
"Alan, move a chair for the Marquis."
The woman leaning against the bookcase glared at Lu Yu as she put the chair for him, as if to warn him not to have any dangerous thoughts.
Yas III personally carried a chair and sat opposite Lu Yu.
"Old Drake told me that you prefer to get straight to the point, so I'll be straight to the point. I want to ask you for a favor."
It sounds so mysterious that the head of a country asks a foreign Marquis who has just arrived to help.
Lu Yu asked with a smile: "About tonight's party?"
"Exactly."
"Your Majesty is surrounded by talented people. Can't they share your worries? Why do you want to find a foreigner like me?"
"I originally planned to do so, but after seeing you, I changed my mind because none of them are as effective as you."
"Effect?"
"Yes, if my people were to do this, some of them might judge that I set up a trap based on the person who spoke. And you are a foreign noble who has just arrived. Now they can't associate you with me. It's best for you to be a stooge."
There was no need for Yas III to continue speaking. Lu Yu had already guessed that he wanted him to help him attract hatred.
The people who came to the party were a group of young people. Compared with their fathers, they were far less shrewd.
When they came, their fathers gave them many instructions, and they could remember them at first, but as the party progressed, alcohol and hormones began to occupy the high ground of reason, and these noble children became the easiest persimmons to control.
If his own direct descendants come out to be a trustee to arouse hatred, the nobles will settle accounts afterwards, and the direct descendants are very likely to be consumed in the counterattack.
Lu Yu, as an outsider who will not settle in Yas, is indeed a suitable candidate for trusteeship.
But...
He cheated these noble children tonight, so he, who has no foundation, will inevitably be regarded as a target of revenge.
Yas III waved his hand, and Alan, who was standing beside him, picked up a box from the table and opened it.
A fist-sized magic core appeared in front of Lu Yu.
"It's the magic core of the Starlight Slime!" Lu Lutis suddenly exclaimed.
Lu Yu had heard from Lu Lutis that the magic core of the Starlight Slime was one of the materials she used to refine the potion to break the seal, but he didn't expect to see it here.
Yas III said: "Although I don't know why your servants have been looking for such an item during this period, I do have one in my hand, and I am sure that there is only one in the whole Yas."
"Is there anyone in the Kingdom of Yas who can deal with high-level monsters like the Starlight Slime?" Lu Yu became curious.
Lulutis said that the Starlight Slime Magic Core that can be used as medicine can only be handled by a fifth-level magician.
"Of course not. This one was obtained from a goblin's nest, and there is a characteristic of goblins that you should know."
Lu Yu continued: "Can it reproduce?"
"Yes, they can reproduce. They reproduce very quickly, so most goblins are often just cannon fodder for high-level goblins. This starlight slime will most likely be beaten to death."
"But..." Yas III played with the magic core helplessly and smiled, "The goblins obtained the magic core, but they couldn't use it effectively. If such a precious material is simply used as a magic power supply, it would be a waste."
"After we obtained it, we fell into the same predicament as the goblins. Whether it was alchemy or potion refining, we had no formula, and we didn't know how to use it. Therefore, from the early days of my father's succession to this day, this magic core is still Lying in the box."
Yas III handed the box to Lu Yu.
"Help me, this is yours. In addition, I will also arrange for people to find other materials you need. I am also willing to provide some help in terms of security."
"You can also refuse. I won't embarrass you. I just need you to stay in the mansion temporarily and you can't leave until the party is over tonight."
Yas III's tone was calm. He did not force Lu Yu with his identity, which made Lu Yu a little curious.
"Your Majesty, you can definitely arrange for someone to guide me to conflict with that group of people at the party. If I were at the party, even if I think clearly, I would still be stuck in a trap. I would have to cooperate with Your Majesty... Why should you give me a choice?"
Yas held his chin with one hand and said with a smile: "Because you are a pioneer of Seris Country and a traveler."
"The reason why there are many scammers pretending to be noble travelers is because it is difficult to check, and because the Yas royal family has always respected travelers."
"After learning about you from Drake, I sent people to find the time and related information about your appearance in the Kingdom of Yas."
"According to the description of a grain store merchant in the Earldom of Nott, you actually held a bag of polished rice to inquire about the price of grain. The container you used was extremely unique, and you seemed to know nothing about the units of measurement."
"The merchant under investigation said that the copper coins given by others were all astronaut copper coins, but you paid pure copper coins and acted as if you did not know the exchange ratio. Therefore, he made a fortune without conscience... Don't worry, we have already taken care of you." The losses were recovered and he was punished.”
Lu Yu didn't expect that Yas III's investigation was quite detailed.
Because the information obtained by Yas III was all from the time when Lu Yu first entered the world, when he was in the stage of collecting information everywhere and knowing nothing, it gave Yas III an illusion.
This person comes from a special country with a unique culture.
"As far as I know, you crossed the snowy mountain in the Earldom of Nott and entered the Yas border..."
"It is rumored that the ancestors here were refugees from a war-torn land. In order to find a pure land away from the war, they formed a team and began a long journey. This was a journey of death, involving yellow sand, vast seas, swamps, and dense forests. The snow-capped mountains swallowed up countless passionate and courageous ancestors who were eager to find a new habitat.”
"They encountered giant dragons, centaurs, goblins, and various demi-humans along the way. Sometimes they received kindness, and sometimes they were treated as prey. They traveled through all kinds of obstacles, carrying the bones of their dead companions on their backs, and searched tirelessly. The team is getting smaller and smaller, and it takes countless years to reach this land. "
"They are pioneers and amazing travelers." Yas said with admiration. "They used their blood and perseverance to carve out a base for mankind in this land where monsters are rampant, and finally defended this land of belonging to mankind with their lives. our land.”
Yas said sincerely: "No matter what reason you came here, the road you have walked and the things you have experienced have been recorded by the stars, the sun and the moon, and engraved by Mother Earth."
"Without your knowledge, if I use means to drive a pioneer like you to complete my plan, the ancestors buried in the land beneath my feet will only spurn me."
Yas's words were sincere and he expressed his admiration for pioneers and travelers.
Lu Yu was a little ashamed and his face turned red.
I am just a fake.
Whether it was R'lyeh, Lothric, or Gran Sefa, he made them up.
He really didn't expect that his words and his previous experience of being stupidly defrauded of money would become ironclad evidence of his identity as a pioneer and foreign traveler, and would make Yas III admire him.
No wonder Yas III would ask the guard leader at the door to stop the search.
In his imagination, the backpack that Lu Yu carried must contain what he saw and heard along the way, including maps and monster illustrations.
These precious manuscripts are a traveler's greatest treasure. How could he easily show them to others?
But in fact... Lu Yu only had a ball of Lulutis in his backpack.
