Chapter 45 45 I Taunted, Come On!
Chapter 45 45. I mocked, come on!
There were people who were ashamed, but many were angry.
The things that Lu Yu said were all benefits that everyone knew about under the table.
You see through it but don't say it. As a lord in Seris, are you cleaner than us?
Haven't you ever used the power in your hands to seek personal gain?
We are all not clean, why can you righteously accuse us?
Some sober people keenly discovered that the deeds that Lu Yu said were too shocking.
Killing goblins is really nothing, but the subsequent slaying of dragons, communicating with giants, and talking with the chosen ones are really outrageous.
To be able to do these, the rating in the Adventurer's Guild must be at least Mithril or Gold, right?
And you slay dragons, communicate with giants, and chat and laugh with the tentacle monsters that emit black smoke... These monsters don't live in the same place.
As a pioneer, you encounter a bunch of strange things, and everyone can understand it, but you can't kill a dragon today, deal with a giant tomorrow, and play with a tentacle monster the day after tomorrow, right?
In other words, in order to achieve these goals, you need to run back and forth all day long. By this calculation, most of your time should be wasted on the road.
Everyone has the same time, where do you get so much time to spend?
You are gifted and not afraid of fatigue. Can your army and your people withstand such high-intensity conscription?
Or do you want to tell everyone that all of this is done by you alone, without the help of teammates.
But... as a lord, what about your territory management?
Don't you report to the king regularly?
There are so many creatures living on the land you have opened up. If you don't manage them, aren't you afraid that they will riot?
Except for some girls who were fascinated by Lu Yu's endless stories, most people showed obvious distrust.
Maroni Nott said: "Marquis, I don't want to question you, but..."
"The giant dragon like a mountain is tamed by you, the unknown black mist tentacle monster hidden in the shadow obeys your orders, the ugly trolls are intimidated by your force, the goblins will retreat when they hear about you, and the goblin king will invite you for tea..."
"Your narration is just empty talk. None of us has been to Seris. Do we have to believe everything you say?"
There were also voices in the crowd.
"Why don't you prove it, Marquis?"
Maroni suddenly laughed and said: "Forget it, I just said something wrong."
Then he introduced to the people around him: "I heard that the Marquis was seriously injured during his trip and is currently only an entry-level magician. According to the traditional way, that is, the magic capacity to evaluate magicians, the Marquis is not even a first-level magician."
"With such strength, how can he prove his greatness to us?"
Maroni has seen that Lu Yu is a proud person.
As a frontier pioneer and a noble marquis, he was unwilling to lose to others even in a foreign country.
Now he challenged him in front of him and he was not strong enough. In order to prove himself, he would definitely challenge him.
A group of nobles led by Maroni saw that Lu Yu had not concealed their disgust.
They just waited for Lu Yu to challenge and then immediately accepted the challenge, and then slapped him on the spot.
Regardless of whether Lu Yu had so many brilliant achievements in the past, he was just an injured disabled person now.
If he beat Lu Yu here, Andrew, who personally invited Lu Yu to visit, would also be embarrassed. In order to avoid this situation, Andrew would inevitably come out to say a few words for Lu Yu. After a while, they even had the opportunity to humiliate the lackeys of Yas III.
"A group of young masters who have never even been on the battlefield dare to challenge me?" Lu Yu was extremely angry.
In fact, he was not angry at all. He had seen a person not far away making a gesture to him.
According to the previous agreement, this was a mockery of Lazu, and it was time to proceed to the final stage.
Being ridiculed for being incompetent and unable to fight, Maroni also got angry.
As the youngest child in the family, he had been spoiled by everyone in the family since he was a child. When had he ever suffered such a great injustice?
How dare an outsider nobleman order them around in the Kingdom of Yas and criticize them?
"Lu Yu, just tell me whether you want to accept it or not. The venue is ready. You can propose what you want to compete. We have invited the court wizard to be the referee. Don't say we are bullying you!"
Maroni has already abandoned the honorifics.
Andrew pushed away the girls around him and walked quickly to Lu Yu's side.
"Tonight's party is for the king and the younger generation to communicate with each other. Maroni, don't be so angry and ruin the atmosphere of the party."
"Andrew, you didn't hear what he said just now. This outsider from Seris country looks down on the nobles of Yas. You actually stand on his side?"
"I only know that he is my guest, and I really admire the knowledge of the Marquis. He may have spoken a little aggressively, but aren't you bullying others blatantly by issuing a challenge? You still have the nerve to say that you don't bully the Marquis?"
"Because of the injury, the Marquis's magic power can't support him to complete too many spells. He is already at a disadvantage... And do you know how he was injured?"
"He was fighting against the Goblin King and was affected by the ritual magic in the process of destroying the underground palace!"
Lu Yu just discovered that when he talked about killing dragons, giants, slimes and other monsters, those girls who flirted with him were just interested in him.
And when he talked about killing goblins, these girls, and even many boys who didn't like him very much, showed admiration.
Now, many non-target nobles who helped Maroni and others to ridicule Lu Yu chose to remain silent.
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Yu could understand.
When chatting with the adventurer Daka in the tavern, Daka talked about the East Territory with great sorrow.
The loss of a large piece of territory in the East Territory is an extremely shameful thing for the citizens of the Kingdom of Yas.
And in the long battle, Yas actually lost more than he won against the goblins.
Because Yas didn't know what it took to win.
Goblins, relying on their super-fast reproduction, dug countless underground palaces deep underground.
These underground palaces are intricate and are a nightmare for any soldier who enters them.
Even experienced adventurers who enter often suffer heavy casualties.
Goblins often set traps in the underground palace and use all kinds of insidious means to cripple invaders. When everyone is carrying the wounded to retreat, they will rush forward and chase the army.
Maybe the Kingdom of Yas can achieve counterattack by changing its formation, and the battle loss ratio is also very good... but they can't take anything.
The people of the Kingdom of Yas have long been accustomed to the situation where the East has frequent good news, but they can't take back an inch of land.
Several surrounding countries are deeply trapped in the goblin crisis, and no one has the heart to target their own kind. This may be the only good news that Yas has gotten from the goblins.
Being beaten by goblins and unable to raise their heads has also led to a large number of cool articles about slaughtering goblins, which are widely circulated among the people.
In reality, you can't win no matter how you fight, you can only hope to win once in the text.
Old Drake has been reading goblin cool articles since the founding of the country. He also expects some heroes to turn the situation around and bring some miracles to Yas and even the humans on this land.
The fact is, there is no miracle.
Everything depends on oneself.
This may also be the original intention of Yas III to reform.
He was fed up with the constraints of the domestic lords and was eager to gather all the power in his own hands to complete the breakthrough in the Goblin War.
Vaguely aware of the purpose that Yas III wanted to achieve at the party tonight, Lu Yu waited for those hands to push the confrontation to the climax and turn it into a contract that could not be overturned.
"Maroni, forget it. It is normal for the Marquis to have his own temper as a lord."
"Yes, there is no need to make the party so stiff tonight."
The nobles watching spoke for Lu Yu one after another. They were more willing to support a noble who had fought against the Goblin King emotionally.
Although they are blood-sucking worms in the Yas Kingdom, it does not mean that they have abandoned their honor and dignity.
Lu Yu panicked. Andrew is doing bad things.
After these words, his support rate rose. What if the people who were ridiculed retreated?
Although I don't know if this is the content of his script, or if he can't bear to see himself being besieged and doing bad things with good intentions, anyway, he must make up for the hatred!
"Will it be useful for you to tell them about the Goblin King? He has probably never seen a goblin since he was born, let alone the tragic scene of goblins attacking like a tide and tearing the soldiers defending the border into pieces."
"They can only show off their power to a wounded soldier. If he has a bit of backbone, he should go to the front line to see their luxurious clothes and food, and who is desperately defending the capital of tyranny in the rear."
"Oh, eat less before you go, I'm afraid some people will vomit all over the floor when they see blood."
"According to my experience, some people will be scared to death when they fight monsters for the first time. Although it is a normal physiological phenomenon, it is not very "gentlemanly" to appear in you. For your face... hehe."
The effect of taunting is good or not, just look at the expressions of the people around you.
So many girls were present, and they were humiliated by Lu Yu on the spot, describing them as vomiting and pissing at the sight of blood. How many young people of this age can stand it?
In order to prove that they have guts, this group of people angrily squeezed to Lu Yu's side and asked loudly who he was talking about.
Seeing that the crowd was about to get out of control, someone shouted in the crowd.
"Since you all want to prove yourself so much, let's compete."
Someone shouted from another direction.
"Everyone go to the East Territory, whoever gets the most within the time limit will be the winner."
"I think it's okay, Marquis Lu Yu, do you dare to agree!"
Lu Yu was stunned for a while, and he seemed to know what Yas III wanted to do through him.
"Good guy, he looks gentle and refined, but he is really cruel when he fights."
