Chapter 46 46 Poisoning, I Will Do It Little by Little
Chapter 46 46. Poison, I know how to do it a little bit
Duke Buckman's son appeared at the right time, confirmed the wishes of both parties, and then wrote down the rules of the competition on the spot.
Location: East of Yas Kingdom
Time: half a month later
Competition content: Based on individuals, the one who hunts the most goblins within the time limit wins.
Competition time: one month
"Come on, come on, anyone who wants to compete with the Marquis should come and sign the agreement."
As he said that, the son of Duke Buckman glanced at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu understood immediately and knew that the scene could not continue without him, so he strode forward and wrote the four words Lulutis in Chinese characters.
Some people in the crowd were still thinking that the agreement for this competition was very hasty, and it was just to fight for publicity. It seemed not worth it to fight on the front line.
"Why, you shouted so loudly just now, and now you really don't dare to answer it?"
As soon as Lu Yu's words came out, Maroni clenched his fists, came to the table, picked up a pen and wrote his name directly.
With Maroni's opening words, people present who were dissatisfied with Lu Yu's style signed their names one after another, and many people who were not part of the plan also participated.
"There are still two target persons who have not signed." The waiter pushing the dining cart reminded Lu Yu, guiding him to look not far away.
The two of them were trying to be courteous in front of a young girl and did not participate in the turmoil just now.
Without thinking, Lu Yu walked up to the attentive girl, squeezed away the two people who were chatting with her, and asked with a smile: "Can you tell me your name?"
The two people who were originally hostile to each other saw Lu Yu, an intruder, suddenly take the hand of the one they loved, which even made her feel passionate...
Gritting their teeth, the two turned around and left, lining up to sign their names.
"It's so easy to deal with..." Lu Yu sighed.
Seeing all the target persons being caught in one fell swoop, the son of Duke Buckman smiled with satisfaction.
He announced loudly: "In view of the large number of participants, more detailed rules are needed, and it is worthy of commendation for the nobles to participate in the battle in person..."
"Therefore, I will summon your Majesty and let him personally review the agreement!"
At this moment, everyone who had written their names on the agreement suddenly came to their senses.
They wanted to stop it, but the Duke's son's messenger pigeon had already escaped.
What happened at this young people's social party quickly spread throughout the entire Yas Royal City.
Early the next morning, people in the streets were talking about the nobles going to the east to hunt goblins.
"If you ask me, it's useless." In the tavern, a drunken adventurer swung his glass and mocked, "These gentlemen are just thinking about gambling and fighting with others in a moment of enthusiasm. I'm afraid they will regret yesterday." It’s too late.”
"I say so. They won't go to the East to kill goblins. With their bodies, they can't even swing a sword, hahahaha."
"Perhaps they will put on a show and send a substitute?"
"You guys can still act? You don't even care about acting. What can you do if you clearly say that the agreement is a waste of paper?"
"So sure, why don't we also bet a few copper coins?"
"Let's bet. Even if I die, I won't believe that these nobles are willing to let their children go to war."
"I bet, I don't believe it either!"
"Me too!"
The wave that Lu Yu helped Yas III promoted spread and fermented through countless people, and gradually became a hot topic in Yas King City.
These voices even reached the palace, making the faces of many nobles who came to ask Yas III to void the agreement last night increasingly ugly.
Nobles value face most.
This group of playboys who are very likely to become future heirs signed an agreement in public and then went back on their word. In the future, the nobles will gather together to discuss cooperation matters. What will everyone think of them?
Families that have not signed the agreement will probably continue to laugh at them and label them as cowards.
This hat may even become a family label.
This shame is worse than death.
Soon, the nobles who had just finished teaching the children left one after another after hearing Yas III helplessly saying that they were also in trouble.
We are all old foxes. Who doesn’t know that you are behind Lu Yu?
The matter is a foregone conclusion. If they don’t want to be ridiculed as cowards, they can only leave for the Eastern Territory and let them personally fight for the honor of the family and prove themselves.
In the palace study, Lu Yu accepted the Starlight Slime Magic Core handed over by Yas III himself.
"I got this magic core at a bit of a loss." Lu Yu said, "If I guessed correctly, in order to ensure that those nobles will be sent to the Eastern Territory, I must go to the Eastern Territory."
Yas III smiled and said: "No need to worry, the three major lords in the East are all my people. After you arrive, they will naturally take care of you."
"I won't do anything after I go there, just lie down?"
"Of course, but..."
Yas III opened his bookcase and took out a metal jar.
Aylan, Yas III's personal guard, removed the protective magic from the jar and carefully opened the lid.
"This is…"
Yas III explained: "It is also the material you are looking for, the corrosive fluid of the giant salamander."
"Your Majesty plans to give it to me as compensation?"
"Since there is a competition, there will naturally be ranking points for winning and losing, and rewards are indispensable. The first place in the Eastern Goblin Hunting Competition will receive two pure gold coins, a portion of Salamander's corrosive fluid, a knighthood, and also There is an acre of land east of the royal city."
As a king, it is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp.
This is clearly encouraging Lu Yu and the competing nobles to kill goblins crazily in order to compete for the first place when they can no longer retreat.
"In addition, there is a mithril-level or even higher goblin master in the competition area of the East Territory. You might as well go and have a look. Maybe you can get his finger bones."
This is the material for Lulutis to make potions.
This smiling Yas III is far from being as gentle as he looks.
Yas III may respect himself because of his identity as a traveler and pioneer, and the transaction is also very straightforward, but... he is a king with great ambitions after all.
If Lu Yu guessed correctly, Yas III's army should have been ready for battle.
The people sent by the nobles to protect their children must be the elite of the family. The border is the most suitable place for various accidents to happen, and it is normal that there are no bodies left.
"Lu Yu, are we really going to compete for the first place?"
After returning to the mansion, Lulutis carefully studied Yas III's competition rules and found that there were many loopholes in it.
For example, the rules do not restrict the act of giving heads.
Then these children who are protected by the family elite can completely record the killing of others in their own name.
There are only three people on their side. Even if they work together to kill, they can't catch up with the fraction of others.
From the beginning, Yas III planned to let Lu Yu help him a little more for the corrosive liquid of the giant fire lizard. He didn't think Lu Yu could win at all.
Pointing out that there is a mithril-level or even gold-level goblin wizard in the competition range is also for the purpose of letting Lu Yu try it.
After all, in Yas III's view, Lu Yu fell from a high-level magician, but his foundation is still there, otherwise it can't explain why he can travel to many places after being injured.
What if?
What if Lu Yu has a killer hidden, and he kills the goblin wizard for this corrosive liquid of the giant fire lizard?
Lu Yu sighed and reached out to touch Lulutis.
During this time together, he has gotten used to the sticky feeling on his hands when he touches Lulutis.
"For your recovery, I have to give it a try."
Originally, Lulutis was using his tentacles to poke Lu Yu, but when he heard Lu Yu say this, Lulutis obediently let him touch him.
From Lu Yu's previous style of behavior, Lulutis knew that he was a very cautious person.
The magic core of the Starlight Slime was taken by the king himself, and Lu Yu couldn't shirk it.
This time, no one forced him to take the giant fire lizard corrosive liquid, and Lu Yu also knew that it was a bait that might not be eaten, but...
"For me?" Lulutis thought happily.
Thinking carefully, when he was attacked by the magic-breaking puppet before, he clearly told Lu Yu to run away, but he actually came back...
Lu Yu thought seriously.
"As long as Lulutis recovers, I can have a soft meal."
Because of the reward from Yas III, Lu Yu received a large box of magic cores, and there were some silver coins at the bottom of the box.
With these foundations, Lu Yu does not need to spend a large amount of money on magic cores in the short term.
Next, it is time to think about what is needed for the trip to the East.
Sigrid learned about the tricky aspects of the Goblin Underground Palace from some old predecessors in the Adventurer's Guild.
First of all, it is the intricate internal structure.
Unprepared teams will get lost and trigger traps when entering the underground palace, resulting in non-combat casualties.
Lulutis: "I can solve this. I can make some visible potions and make some disposable dolls for him to explore the way, and it can be solved."
"As for getting lost, relying on magic perception, it should be possible to avoid walking into a dead end."
The next problem is the problem of fighting one against many.
Because the cannon fodder goblins at the front of the team are generally short, they can easily be hugged by the goblins in the dim underground palace, and then everything will be over.
In the underground palace, you cannot use too destructive magic and huge props indiscriminately, otherwise the underground palace will collapse and they will still be over.
Lulutis' favorite explosion was sealed, and Lu Yu was curious about her good solution.
"Lu Yu, do you like poisoning?"
"What do you mean I like poisoning?" Lu Yu hurriedly explained, "I just like to disintegrate the opponent's will to resist without engaging the enemy. I am a peace lover."
Usually when Lu Yu said this, Lulutis would tease Lu Yu, but today was special.
Lulutis hummed seriously.
"I think it makes sense."
Having been with Lulutis for so long, Lu Yu also knew her temper.
Whenever she answered so readily, she must have prepared a big surprise.
"Actually, I know a little bit about poisoning."
"Soon after contact, you will be extremely thirsty for water, and then dive into the water and drown yourself."
"You will fall into a psychedelic state and lose your ability to resist."
"You will vomit after being poisoned, and the vomit is corrosive."
"Melt on the spot."
"Go into a frenzy and attack both enemies and friends indiscriminately."
"I know that these are the potions that can be replaced by lower-level ones and have certain effects. Although each one requires some conditions to take effect, but... hey, why are you looking at me like this?"
Sigrid didn't dare to speak, and Lu Yu was sweating coldly.
"Didn't you say that you are not good at poison..."
"I just said that I don't know the content about poisoning in dark attribute magic. After all, I really don't know a few dark attribute magics."
"I live alone in the wilderness, and I don't want weird things to invade my yard, so I learned to refine some defensive potions."
Lu Yu felt that at least one of him and Lulutis had a big misunderstanding about "defense".
