Chapter 84 83 Venting Out Anger, Establishing Authority, and Leaving a Name

Chapter 84 83. Vent, establish prestige, and leave a name

Lu Yu declined several waves of adventurers' invitations to slay dragons. There were even black iron and fine steel among this group of people who joined in the fun. I don't know where they got the courage to think that slaying dragons is something they can get involved in.

Could it be that the people here believe that no matter what monster they face, everyone should not be afraid and quickly gather together to join in the celebration?

After asking for directions, Lu Yu finally came to the adventurer's city of Kais.

Kais City belongs to the Gran Empire. Compared with the Kingdom of Yas, it is more tolerant of foreign races.

Lu Yu walked on the street with the two aliens, the fog demon and Lulutis. Whether it was pedestrians or guards, they just looked at them curiously for a few more times. No one would make a fuss. This combination seemed to be commonplace for the locals.

A team of cavalry galloped on the main road of the town. Following their orders, some lazy soldiers guarding the city became alert. From time to time, people wearing robes and suspected to be magicians climbed the city wall.

There were people familiar with the cavalry captain on both sides of the road. He asked in confusion: "Aren't you taking a break today?"

The cavalry captain did not hide it from the people around him: "Just now in the wild, a large number of adventurers witnessed the appearance of a dragon. In order to prevent the dragon from attacking the town, the lord has sent a large number of magicians to monitor suspicious magic fluctuations."

Lu Yu estimated that if it could be concealed, the lord would definitely want to conceal it, but there were too many witnesses in the wild, and he couldn't kill all the adventurers, right?

Sure enough, after the cavalry in the city announced the news of the dragon's appearance, they began to comfort everyone.

"Our lord was once a gold-level adventurer. With him in charge, the dragon will definitely come and go."

"A large number of fourth-level magicians in the city have gathered together, and even the dragon will be afraid of their magic."

"The well-trained cavalry has taken the initiative to attack, and they will drive the dragon out of the border of the Gran Empire!"

Apart from the inexplicable confidence of this group of people, this response was very quick.

However, Lu Yu still didn't know it very well.

How did this group of people come to believe that Mithril and Gold can deal with dragons?

Have they really killed a dragon with such strength before?

The people seemed to be easily fooled. A series of words made them disperse from the main road and continue to do their own things.

Lu Yu, who was sharp-eared, heard an old man beside him tuck in his clothes and sighed and complained softly.

"There are killers in the capital, but they haven't been caught for a whole winter. Now there is a dragon in Kais City. It's hard to kill a dragon."

"It turns out that they are not easy to fool, but just numb." Lu Yu thought.

They have no hope for the ability of the guards and knights, but even so, what can they do?

They have to live when the dragon comes, and they have to live when it doesn't come. Instead of worrying about the dragon that may attack the town at any time, it is better to worry about tomorrow's rations.

Sigrid, who left the team, is back.

Just now, she went to various shops and taverns to observe the local people's trading methods and quotas. After asking around, she found that there was gold circulating in the Gran Empire. Although the amount was not large, they did mint gold coins.

"Do you understand their currency exchange system clearly?"

"Clearly."

Lu Yu gave a thumbs up: "Then take the pure silver cakes Andrew gave us and melt them to exchange for currency. Don't exchange too much, probably enough for us to buy two horses."

With the experience of Yas as a foundation, Lu Yu only trusted the capital for money exchange. After all, it was closest to the power center and there were fewer tricks than the border town.

Sigrid left again. She had done these things very well in Yas.

Lu Yu did not plan to stay in Kais City. After Sigrid came back with the exchanged coins, they immediately bought horses and planned to move on.

Just as they passed through Kais City and arrived at the north gate, a sharp bird cry sounded.

The soldiers who heard the voice quickly closed the city gate. Two magicians appeared at the gate and opened the magic circle on the gate.

The people waiting to leave the city were dumbfounded. They didn't understand what happened.

"The lord has ordered that a dragon attacked a village by the sea. All the people and livestock in the village were devoured. For the safety of everyone's lives and to avoid huge losses caused by the dragon attacking the city, the city gate is temporarily closed. I hope that the residents of the city will work together to face the possible dragon disaster."

Hearing this, all those who planned to leave the city looked at each other, and soon, everyone was angry.

This announcement can only fool fools.

What for everyone's safety, this is clearly forcing everyone to help defend his territory.

As a border town by the sea, Kais City has a large floating population. Adventurers, merchants, and information dealers gather together. Everyone comes here for money. Who will bleed for someone else's territory?

If you get into trouble, I will run away. If you are fine, I will come back to continue making money. This is the normal state.

The new lord obviously didn't think so. He had just taken office and had only made money in the territory for a few days, and had not enjoyed his power well. If his territory was destroyed by the dragon, he would be a disgrace among the nobles.

Guards, knights, and magicians gathered in front of the city gate, constantly persuading adventurers, merchants, and ordinary people who were about to leave the city to return to the city.

Among the crowd was Oakley, who had sold his prey and was about to escape.

His speed was fast enough, but he really underestimated the shamelessness of the new lord. He was so shameless, what could you do?

He was depressed and knew that there was no possibility of negotiation, so he could only turn back angrily with the crowd.

Lu Yu wanted to use the trick he used in Yas to bluff people and continue to play the role of the Marquis of Seris to let the guards in front of him pass.

But thinking that he was a newcomer, he decided to restrain himself.

And he was not in a hurry. After all, Lu Yu knew very well that the dragon attacking the village was completely fictitious.

Even if Huo Gu was really hungry, he would not think about the pitiful amount of meat on a person.

The lord fabricated this incident to make everyone feel a sense of crisis and be forced to stand on the same front with him to fight against the dragon.

But the problem is... you are making such a big noise, just fighting wits and courage with the air.

This time Huo Gu is probably racing on the sea, and all he can think about is his warm little nest in the valley.

There was no way to explain this matter. The lord could only be frightened for a while. When he realized that the dragon really had no intention of his territory, everything would return to normal.

Finding a tavern to stay in, Lu Yu planned to take two rooms, himself and Lulutis, and the fog demon with Sigrid.

The tavern owner asked about the race of the fog demon with interest. After hearing the fog demon's self-introduction, he smiled and wrote it on a board.

"You just came to the border town, right? This is considered tuition. This kind of information can be sold to someone for money."

From this, Lu Yu knew that there were no people of the fog demon nearby, and the people here didn't even know the information of the fog demon.

The boss glanced at Lulutis and continued to ask: "I can buy your information for money."

"This can't be sold for money because she is my summon."

The boss said, "Oh," and touched his chin: "What a strange summon, what's special about it?"

"Then please bring money to buy it."

The boss was very appreciative of Lu Yu's quick adaptation to the rhythm of the border town of Kais.

After Sigrid and the others went upstairs, Lu Yu, who was alone, bought a glass of wine from the boss, but he didn't drink it.

The wine he drank in Yas tasted bitter, astringent and sour, so now he admired the taste of the drinkers when he saw them drinking heavily.

Some information can only be obtained by paying, and the wine is the proof.

The boss asked with a smile: "What do you want to know?"

"I want to find a reputable information dealer with rich information channels to inquire about things."

"That depends on how sincere you are. Some information will not be sold casually even if they know it."

Lu Yu pondered for a while, and when he was about to ask in detail, a pair of big hands were placed on his shoulders.

"If you don't want to drink, then get out of here."

As he said that, the other party pushed Lu Yu hard and threw him off the chair to the ground.

It was so sudden that Lu Yu was not prepared at all. It was not until he fell to the ground that he saw this uninvited guy clearly.

After the dark-skinned man pushed Lu Yu to the ground and occupied his seat, he took the wine ordered by Lu Yu and drank it all, and burped in front of Lu Yu.

The man showed off his strong muscles, pulled open his collar, and let Lu Yu see the dense knife wounds there, and finally threw out a Mithril adventurer identification card.

The other party's meaning was very clear, I am like this, what can you do to me, do you have the ability to deal with me?

Others in the tavern drank with this sudden farce, laughing playfully, neither stopping nor instigating, just watching silently.

Several regular customers in nearby taverns have seen Jonah bullying the weak, because it has happened so many times and he is also dark, so he is simply called Black Jonah by everyone.

Black Jonah is a famous gangster in this area. As a Mithril adventurer, he does not walk sideways. He is not blind, and he is always easy to control those who provoke him.

This time he chose to control Lu Yu, who looks thinner.

Lu Yu was still slightly fat when he traveled through time. He followed the white wolf in the forest to pick up food. He barely survived starvation, but his weight dropped sharply.

Although Lu Yu's physical condition improved after Lulutis appeared, and he was not as thin as before, he did look like a little chicken compared to these fierce men who fought monsters all day long.

In places where adventurers are more dense, such bullying of the weak happens more frequently.

The adventurers of Black Shield City have a common enemy after all. In Case City, everyone comes here to make money. Since killing monsters and extortion can get money, why should I risk my life?

"Won't the guards care?" Lu Yu asked.

"If the person is not dead, then we don't care." The boss had obviously seen a lot of this kind of thing, and reminded Lu Yu very considerately, "Besides, we can care for a while, but we can't care all the time."

While glancing at Black Jonah, the boss hinted, "Some people were targeted by strange people because they were unwilling to accept it, and were suddenly shot by a hidden arrow while going out hunting with their companions."

"Others disappeared inexplicably and their whereabouts are unknown."

The boss also provided his own plan: "You can bear the anger for a while, and you can make money again, don't you think?"

Lu Yu thanked the boss. He understood the rules and was willing to abide by them.

"Lulu, are you interested in opening a few holes for people to breathe?"

Lulutis in the chat room floated out of the room after hearing this, and saw Black Jonah who was about to reach out to grab Lu Yu.

Without saying a word, Lulutis rushed to Lu Yu's side, stretched out his tentacles, and slapped his outstretched hands fiercely.

Black Jonah looked at the blood marks left by the tentacles and looked at the sudden appearance of Lulutis in disbelief.

"Magician?"

Lu Yu was too lazy to answer and reminded Lulutis: "Don't kill him. Just follow my instructions and make a few openings to make him more thoughtful."

Lulutis rushed out menacingly, and more than a dozen tentacles emerged from the black mist, all stabbing at Black Jonah.

Black Jonah is also a mithril adventurer. Seeing that the situation is not good, he immediately draws his sword. With excellent swordsmanship, he pushed aside the entangled tentacles and struck Lulutis's body with a big backhand slash.

Lulutis didn't move at all, but the knife in Black Jonah's hand broke immediately, causing his hands holding the knife to go numb.

Just kidding, Lulutis's body can take Huo Gu's attack with force. You want to break through the defense with a broken knife?

Lulutis avoided the vital points of the body and quickly poked several bloody holes in Black Jonah's body.

Looking at the blood that continued to flow out of the blood hole, the entire tavern fell silent, and even the sound of chewing stopped.

Lu Yu stepped forward slowly, fumbled with Black Jonah's belt as if nothing had happened, took off his wallet, and then rummaged through his clothes to find the coins hidden in it.

"any left?"

Black Jonah, who has excellent eyesight and has never touched a steel plate, yelled no in horror.

"Really not? Then I don't believe it. I think you are not very honest. You need to make up another hole."

Just as Lulutis was about to poke him, Black Jonah screamed: "It's really gone. I have no money to pursue your idea. Please let me go!"

Lu Yu opened his wallet, looked at the scattered coins inside, and sneered: "Is this just a little bit of rags?"

He poured the coins into Black Jonah's face.

"Pick up the coins and I'll give them back to you."

Black Jonah had ripped off so many people, and now he was trampled on by someone who was younger than he knew how many years ago. He was shaking with excitement.

"Are you angry and unconvinced?" Lu Yu said, "I, the Marquis, have shown mercy and spared your life, and now I am offering you a reward for my kindness and you are not taking any money. Do you look down on me?"

Lu Yu entered the scene very quickly this time, and once again showed the same style as Yas

"Boss, it doesn't matter if you don't kill me, right?"

The boss was already a little confused when Lu Yu said that he was a Marquis. Now he heard the other party asking him and nodded repeatedly.

"I think your eyes don't work very well, why not..."

Black Jonah managed to get up and hurriedly collected the coins that were supposed to be his, but were thrown in his face by Lu Yu as rewards.

Lu Yu did not kill them all. After all, the rules of this town were like this, and he had no intention of breaking them.

His anger was gone, his authority was established, and his name was dropped. Next, it was time for the lord of Case City to contact him.
