Chapter 455 454 Transaction Disturbance

Chapter 455 454. Trading Disturbance

Like most people who have never set foot here but have only heard about it, Lu Yu has only two things to know about the Earldom of Evil Beasts.

First, there are ruthless people like the Earl of Evil Beasts gathering here, who are extremely martial and have a rough style of doing things.

Second, this is the easternmost territory of the four major countries, and the territory of the alien race is to the east.

After paying a copper coin for the "city wall repair fee", Lu Yu successfully entered the fortress.

The city wall repair fee is not a heavy tax, but a fee that has existed since the establishment of the Earldom of Evil Beasts. Any visitor who is not from Kodzoen must be charged. The person who established this rule was Sir Quinn, who had not yet been named "Evil Beast Earl" by the alien race.

There is a stone tablet in front of all the gates of the Earldom of Evil Beasts.

"I am not protecting the territory of Kodzoun."

"Your money will support our flesh and blood and beliefs, and what we repair is not only this scarred fortress."

"Only one copper coin is enough to feed the children who have been bathed in wind and frost."

According to Sera, Sir Quinn actually left two monuments, one of which was removed by the royal family of Kodzoun at some point.

The inscription on the monument reads, "I also look forward to the day when there will be no more terrible and ugly scars on the city wall, and it will become a tourist attraction after being baptized by wind and frost."

It is a pity that the good wish of this crude and reckless Sir has not been realized until today. The disputes between humans and aliens continue to this day, and even in the four major countries of the great fusion, there is still an obvious chain of discrimination.

But fortunately, five hundred years ago, the magic tide and the spirit of immersion forced the aliens to work together with humans, and finally maintained absolute restraint for a long time.

And now, everything is the same as what happened back then.

Walking on the street with his horse, Lu Yu shook his head thinking about this and swept away the face of the snow monster full of compassion.

Although the Count of Evil Beasts is notorious, it does not mean that this place is extremely xenophobic. In the whole of Mera, the Earl of Evil Beasts must be the leader of the largest number of adventurers. Adventurers from various regions and races gathered together, and the reason for this situation is the fierce friction between alien races and high-level monsters.

Although the relationship between the races has eased due to the spirit of infection, it is still not to be taken lightly.

Walking on the bluestone road, the sound of "clang clang" on both sides of the street is endless. The giant hammer with sparks is raised and fell. The flowing heat under the hammer is full of a sense of power.

As the protagonist of Molten Night, the craftsmen of Kodzoen have always been the largest in the four major countries. This border town is full of ruthless people from various regions. The demand for equipment and weapons is self-evident, and buyers are endless.

It didn't take Lu Yu much time to learn about "Die Gu" from a craftsman with many customers.

"Are you here to try your luck with her?" The shirtless craftsman had a loud voice, and this made the adventurers waiting for forging around him look at him.

Lu Yu was very calm. When he went out, he asked Lulu for a soft rubber mask that could change his appearance, so he was not afraid of being recognized.

He asked: "Also?"

The craftsman laughed heartily, and his skills were not slow at all. He knocked out the shape of the sword blank in two or three strokes: "The customer may have taken a lot of time to travel, and I'm afraid he doesn't know that in the past two days alone, there have been no less than 30 people looking for Ms. Die Gu."

"Are you a summoner?" The adventurer waiting on the side interrupted with his hands folded.

"Are there people who are not summoned looking for her?" Lu Yu felt that this question was unreasonable, and it was not easy for others to toss the summoning template.

Another adventurer laughed out loud: "You're just assuming that. Those who are looking for butterfly bones include but are not limited to high-level magicians, puppeteers, alchemists, pharmacists, and even animal tamers. There are people from all races."

This long list of professions made Lu Yu frown.

The adventurers started chatting instead.

"I don't know why these non-summoners are joining in the fun."

"You don't understand, right? Many of them have not made any achievements in their original fields, so they plan to change their minds and switch to summoning."

"Haven't you heard that even the number one summoner in Mera was brought down by an unknown person?"

"Are you talking about the glutton?"

"Sir Glutton has won battle after battle, and has knocked down those so-called summoning masters one by one. But he has no power to fight back under the summoning fluctuations caused by the current magic tide, and all the summons in the past have become invalid. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really a big reshuffle."

The adventurers spoke with great emotion, and some even completed the details of Lu Yu's battle with the passerby summoner, saying that Lu Yu was beaten up, or that Lu Yu was shameless and asked the other party to fight again after failing.

These people spoke in a serious manner, and Lu Yu felt that he had been beaten by the non-existent summoner and could not fight back, so he could only lie on the ground with his mouth open and eyes closed.

"Never underestimate the public's ability to imagine." Lu Yu sighed and shook his head.

As a sixth-level magician, Diegu owned a mansion in the city and hired many slaves to work for him.

When Lu Yu arrived, the door of the mansion was closed, and several iron chains wrapped the iron door tightly. Looking inside through the low fence on the side, the mansion was quiet and there seemed to be no one.

Lu Yu released the magic messenger and politely circled in the mansion for a while.

A middle-aged man in butler's clothes pushed open the heavy wooden door of the mansion, making a series of teeth-grinding sounds. He walked quickly towards the iron gate with a smile, and then said in an apologetic tone: "Sorry, sorry, this is our negligence, please forgive me, dear guest."

After making a gesture of invitation to the mansion, the butler suddenly reminded: "Guest, don't be nervous, this is just a small trick."

Lu Yu took a step forward and stepped into the garden of the mansion. Only then did he realize what he meant by this. After entering the garden, the scene he saw changed.

In the quiet garden, slaves wearing shackles and chains numbly watered the flowerbed. Perhaps they were taking care of the land that was reclaimed to retain some agricultural interest.

These were completely invisible from outside the mansion.

Lu Yu felt the fluctuation of magic power and thought it was just a normal defense or a warning array, but he didn't expect it to be one of the low-profile functions of the Magic Bell Tower in Dawn Territory.

The butler politely led Lu Yu into the mansion. Only when they walked on the spiral staircase covered with red carpet did Lu Yu curiously ask: "I heard that many people came to look for Ms. Diegu. Where are they?"

The butler lowered his head, as if he was worried about blaspheming Lu Yu, and continued his almost flattering tone: "Although every guest who comes here is extremely noble, there is no doubt that they cannot bring out the trading items that my master wants."

Lu Yu's expression was playful. According to the butler, this magician named Diegu seemed determined to find another summoning template.

He could imagine what kind of generous rewards the first people offered Diegu. These people with deep backgrounds are now eager to take the lead in summoning, so as to be ahead step by step, and they will definitely spare no effort for this.

Even so, he was unmoved. Is Diegu waiting for a price, or is he really planning to step into this field that he only knows about but has never been too in-depth?

He glanced at the tea cups on the coffee table in the second floor hall. The tea was still steaming. It was obvious that someone had just made a deal with the butterfly bone not long ago, but he didn't know what the result was.

Lu Yu wanted to sit down, but was politely reminded by the housekeeper.

"Guest, not here, please go to the study to discuss in detail."

He pointed to the tea cups in the distance: "Aren't the previous people here?"

"Those are a few pharmacists. They came together. The study was crowded and couldn't accommodate them. This is the only way."

Lu Yu nodded, without asking any more questions, and continued to climb the stairs to the top floor of the fifth floor. The housekeeper opened a small room at the end of the corridor covered with red carpet, bent over, slowly stepped back, and let Lu Yu in.

In the sunny small room, a woman who looked more than 30 years old, with short black hair and sharp edges, held a book and sat behind the mahogany desk. She was like a statue, motionless, but also full of a steady and mature atmosphere.

The sun shines through the window screen onto the tabletop. The dust in the air sparkles, outlining the figure of Diegu, who is wearing a simple black robe, mysterious and capable.

Diegu, who is wearing a black robe, did not look up, but turned the pages of the book: "Introduce myself, I am Diegu, not a summoning expert, but I intend to embark on this path, so the only thing I need is that special knowledge."

"If you have it, please show it. If it is confirmed, we will complete the transaction. It's that simple."

Diegu's tone is a bit stiff, as if her throat is not comfortable, and she is very awkward when she speaks.

Since Lu Yu was not asked to introduce himself, he did not plan to make it up on the spot.

He admired Diegu's straightforwardness. As for the fact that she never looked up at him when she spoke, but stared at the book intently, Lu Yu did not care.

Ordinary people might think that Diegu was very rude and looked down upon, but he had seen too many magicians with quirks. Maybe Diegu was also a social phobia like Lulu?

Lu Yu did not continue to speed up the topic, but asked back: "I want to check the goods."

Diegu still did not look up. She hesitated for a long time, turned the page of the book, and said without any emotion: "You want to cheat, my knowledge?"

It was still very awkward, but Lu Yu had automatically ignored it. He raised the corner of his mouth: "How do I know that you will not cheat my knowledge?"

"Who can guarantee that you really have the same knowledge as me?"

Silence squeezed into every corner of the study.

After a long time, Diegu said: "Before you, many people did the same. They were all liars without exception. How do I know that you are not, another one."

Lu Yu curled his lips: "It seems that this question has no solution. I am also worried that a short demonstration will allow you to glimpse some important details. This is the first time we meet, and we cannot fully trust each other.

"Please leave. "Di Gu issued a clear and clear order to leave.

Lu Yu turned around and left without the slightest hesitation, but he did not wait for Di Gu's "Please wait" until he pushed open the door.

The bargaining routine that had been tried and tested did not work, which made Lu Yu hesitate.

After a brief brain storm, he closed the open door again and returned to the desk.

"How about this, I ask you a few questions, if you can answer them, I can demonstrate them first."

"What, questions?"

"First, the new power you mentioned, which link in the past summoning is maintained, and what is it called by the majority of summoners?"

The wind blew the pages of the book, and Sphenoid, who seemed to be stunned by Lu Yu's question, pressed his hand for two seconds.

"Template."

Lu Yu felt relieved, which made him more convinced that Sphenoid in front of him had indeed accidentally found something.

"Second, through this template, what kind of posture does your summoned creature present?"

"Demons, and, beasts."

It is a series completely different from the elemental life he currently has, but it is still impossible to more accurately judge whether Sphenoid really has...

After hesitating again and again, Lu Yu thought of a good idea.

"Watch it, I will only do it once."

As he chanted, Xiao An fell from the void, gracefully lying on Lu Yu's head, and thousands of tentacles hung down to entangle him.

"This is my template power. If you are a summoner, you should know what this means, a brand new power, and... a brand new template."

"Come on, I have finished showing it, please keep your promise and complete the transaction."

The solution that Lu Yu thought of was to quickly summon the summoned creature so that Sphenoid could not feel the whole process.

He could guarantee that he would never cheat anyone, but he could not guarantee that the person in front of him would not regret it and run away on the spot.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Diegu still maintained the original posture sitting behind the desk, but this time, she did not speak, nor did she turn the pages of the book again, as if she was in a long period of thinking and had not come back to her senses for a long time.

Waiting for the answer, Lu Yu did not urge, but patiently looked at Diegu, and then turned his eyes to every corner of the room out of boredom.

A cold breath climbed up from Lu Yu's back. It was not Xiao An's tentacles, but something else. His scalp was a little numb, and the sudden weirdness made him feel cold all over. He looked around the room, trying to find the inconsistency that suddenly made him feel chilly.

For a long time, he was stunned.

Lu Yu slowly raised his head, and at the same time saw Diegu, who had put down the book, looking at him for the first time.

Diegu's eyeballs fell silently, and the two bloodshot white beads rolled, while she still stared at herself with two huge black holes.

"Xiao An!"

The previously slow-witted Xiao An quickly blocked in front of Lu Yu, Diegu's body quickly burned, and the purple smoke filled the entire room in an instant.

I don't know when, this room has been sealed.
