Chapter 1991 Lucas
The call was hung up midway, and I was speechless and depressed.
".When I'm not at home, these little girls are going to cause trouble?"
"They just miss you," Odachi said playfully, "Of course, childlike innocence and jealous nature are not ruled out."
"You're talking about Lilea, she just has some prejudice against Yura, who was born in a noble family. This is not her problem, but is caused by the environment she was exposed to."
After a slight pause, I continued: "She has received special education since she was a child. She was sent to Airui City when she was still underage to manage the intelligence collection department of the capital of Airui City. Most of the people she comes into contact with are powerful people, as well as people hidden in the shadows. The underground organization and years of intelligence collection made it easy for her to see the true dark side of the nobles in Airui City. Over time, her impression of the nobles became worse and worse. I am very satisfied to be able to compete with Yura in person like now. Yes, this is a sign of opening up and developing in a good direction."
Odachi was dismissive of my analysis, not because he thought it was wrong, but because he felt that this kind of petty 'nonsense' had nothing to do with it.
"Speaking of which," Odachi said seriously, "Are you mentally prepared?"
"what to prepare?"
"Face Lucas" Odachi said.
"What can we prepare for?" I asked confused.
"Aren't you worried that its appearance is far beyond your imagination, causing ups and downs in your heart and making you unable to calm down for a long time, thus affecting the battle between you?"
"If it's just the appearance, it shouldn't be." I shook my head: "Do you still remember that monster with eyes all over its body? I was just surprised for a moment and then recovered."
"Hey, don't mention that disgusting monster." Odachi said disgustedly: "Not to mention the eyes, part of the body is made of accumulated rotten flesh. It is a hundred times more disgusting than the rotten flesh puppet. I dare to conclude that that thing It’s definitely not a natural product!”
"I don't think so either, so I wonder if it was Carter Scott."
"It would be interesting if it was really that kid who did it."
"How do you say this?"
"Being able to create does not necessarily mean that you can control it. When the power of the created thing far exceeds that of the creator, the created thing will show signs of breaking free. Once the breakaway is successful, the created thing will not rush to freedom immediately, but turn around. Kill the creator, because only by killing the creator can the created thing be completely freed from the state of being restrained. This is the so-called backlash." Odachi said: "I don't know if the monster with eyes all over his body is. Created by Carter Scott, it is assumed that he was created by him. Once one day, the created creature breaks free from his control and bites him, the rest of the monsters created by him and controlled by him will also die because of him. And break free and be free.”
"Think about it, a group of monsters with violence and killing flowing in their veins. Once they completely break free from their restraints, what will be the first thing they do?"
"Kill?"
"Not just" Odachi sneered: "But they will do whatever they want to do unscrupulously. By then, the entire city of Airi will be in panic, no matter whether the monster's rampage can be suppressed in the end, no matter what Carter Scott created. Whether the rumors of monsters are suppressed or not, the dominance of the Carter family will definitely be shaken."
"The shaken family status" I also sneered: "It's really a good future, I'm looking forward to it."
"Hey, are you a devil?" Odachi changed the topic and said in surprise: "Once the monsters riot, many innocent civilians will die in Airui City! Especially those poor people with rags and leaky houses are more likely to be killed. Use it as cannon fodder to lure monsters into a trap! Don’t you have any sympathy for such a human tragedy?"
"Oh, I sympathize," I said, "but with all due respect, I really can't get involved in this matter in Airei City. As you know, I never like to do thankless things, let alone help. The enemy has turned the corner.”
"However, if the position of city lord and important power structures of Airui City fall into my hands before the monsters wreak havoc, I will definitely find ways to bring together various forces to jointly fight against the terrifying and evil monsters and save my people from water and fire. In, um, emphasis, 'my people'."
Odachi, who had been pretending all the time, finally laughed and said: "I knew you would say that. You are worthy of being the master of my Leopold Blade. You just have a bad temper with me."
After resting for most of the day, and seeing no more calls, he packed his bags, dragged the body of the pterosaur, and continued heading to the next floor.
After passing through the portal, there is another hall that looks very familiar.
In the center of the hall, there is a chair. The chair is made of silver and inlaid with many gold patterns. In the middle of the patterns, every few inches, there is a sky blue gem.
The back of the chair is engraved with lifelike patterns of monsters. Some of them grin, some raise their heads and roar, and some are playing. It can be said that there are thousands of postures, none of which are similar.
"Sitting on such a chair, your back must be very uncomfortable, right?"
Holding my chin, I guessed.
"you are right."
A hoarse voice came from not far away, echoing in the hall.
I was suddenly startled. I looked around and saw a blue and white lizard-headed monster on the left front, more than ten meters away, slowly walking towards me with a halberd in hand.
It walked slowly, but every step was calm. Its expression was very calm, but there was domineering in its calmness.
"You are not from the Celestial Clan, little guy, tell me, why did you break in here?"
It stopped when it was five meters away from me, and its tone was calm, like a conversation between neighbors.
I thought about it and asked, "If I told you, would you believe it?"
"That depends on whether you are telling the truth or a lie."
"Okay, I can tell you, but before I confess, you answer me a question first." I stared at it for a few seconds and said slowly: "Who are you?"
"Ha, I forgot to introduce myself." The lizard-headed monster placed his right hand between his chest and abdomen and bowed slightly: "I am a subject of the great Tyrannosaurus King Bakar. I was sent here to guard the upper level of Shiparo Tower. I am Lord of this level, please call me, Lucas."
Lucas politely introduced himself in a hoarse voice.
I was shocked for a moment and raised my hand unconsciously, pointing at Lucas's head: "It turns out that's not a lizard's head, but a dragon's head."
Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little displeased and embarrassed. After thinking about it again and again, he pointed to the long eagle-feather-like tail above his head and explained: "Lizards can't grow horns, only dragons can."
