Chapter 3197 Reversal

The restaurant fell silent once again.

No sound could be heard except breathing.

After a while, a clear metallic sound sounded, which was the sound of a long sword falling to the ground.

Then, there was a sea of ​​similar but different sounds.

When the last guard's weapon fell to the ground, there was a vacuum within one meter around me.

Whether it was the guard, the restaurant owner, the chef, the lobby manager, the waiter, or all the guests, they all looked at me like I was a monster.

No wonder they looked at me like this, turning the orichalcum weapons into twists with their bare hands. This scene was comparable to dismantling a Gundam with bare hands on the blue planet.

"Who else wants to kill me on the spot?"

I asked in a deep voice.

This time, no one said anything, even the guard leader who had called out the most ferociously before was silent.

What else could be done?

A room full of ordinary people, fighting against a monster that can crush orichalcum with its bare hands?

If such an order is really issued, even if you leave alive this time, will it be possible to convince the public in the future?

Moreover, do you think that the commander who was responsible for his death was in vain, would anyone regard such a person as a commander?

The silence of the guard leader made the entire restaurant extremely depressing.

The long swords scattered on the floor, the long sword stuck in the door, and the orichalcum long sword held in a twisted shape became the last straw that broke the courage of everyone in the restaurant to resist.

No one thought about trying to resist anymore. Everyone was trembling with fear, fearing that any move would offend me and result in death.

Seeing that everyone had shut up, I nodded with satisfaction and said: "Since no one has spoken, I will treat it as if there is no intention to kill me on the spot. Then, let's talk about the conditions we proposed before. .”

After finishing speaking, I looked at the middle-aged uncle who looked frightened and was trembling all over: "Are you the boss here?"

"I, I, am."

The middle-aged uncle was no longer as arrogant as before, even his speech became stammering, and his seemingly strong body was trembling uncontrollably.

"I had no intention of enmity with you. I just thought the food was unpalatable and wanted an apology. However, you were aggressive over and over again, so I had no choice but to take this step. I apologize for any offence."

In the restaurant, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Isn't this nonsense? The knife was held to the neck. Who dare not forgive it?

But thinking about it, no one dared to say this.

In the depressing atmosphere, I stated my conditions one by one.

Money and the like didn't have much appeal to me, so I just chose to skip it.

Of course, skipping it does not mean not mentioning it, but it is up to the Blue Witch to mention it. Although she is not very interested in money, she is very interested in buying delicious things. As long as the benefits and risks are Once the relationship is clearly explained, I believe she will estimate a good price.

As for me, I have no intention of beating this restaurant to death. No matter how ordinary the food here is, no matter how bad the service attitude of the chef here is, this is the way people run their business. As an outsider, I have the temerity to point fingers. It's impolite behavior.

Therefore, most of the requests I made were related to intelligence.

Of course, directly asking for information is not possible. After all, the restaurant owner and others are all persons with status. Once the intention of seeking information is too exposed, it will arouse their suspicion, and even the content of the information obtained may be false.

False information is worthless unless you are at a tipping station.

Therefore, in the process of gathering information, I also want to bring in more irrelevant factors to confuse the audience and divert attention.

These skills were all learned from Boss Ren. He told me that the best way to deal with the nobles is to cover up the irrelevant information with the most rigorous means. In this way, you can Completely lure the nobles' attention to irrelevant information.

The main reason why this happens is that the more cunning and vigilant aristocrats are, the more suspicious they are, and the more suspicious people are, the more eager they are to learn the most closely guarded information.

Whether they are nobles or civilians, they all have the same misunderstanding, that is, the more closely protected the information is, the greater its value will be.

In most cases, this idea is correct, but once you are in an abnormal situation, this kind of misunderstanding in thinking will become the best breakthrough for obtaining intelligence.

Precisely because of Boss Ren's teachings, I deliberately put the intention of gathering information on the back burner, and regarded the gossip and trivial matters of certain nobles as the main purpose of interrogation.

Doing this will give them the illusion that I, who is in the ordinary class, am constantly collecting gossips and scandals about the nobles in order to step into the upper class society.

When this illusion gradually takes shape and penetrates deep into the human body, my purpose will be achieved.

When I mentioned the gossip and scandals of the great nobles, although these people did not dare to remain silent, their eyes wandered when they answered. They looked like they were at a loss because of fear, but in fact they were racking their brains. Make up lies.

But when I asked about information related to the town, their answers almost came out of the mouth without any hesitation.

As we all know, lies also require fabrication, thinking and deliberation. Lies that come out of the mouth often cannot withstand scrutiny. Only lies that have been screened by the brain and short-term deliberation can barely withstand scrutiny.

In this atmosphere where life hangs on a thread, it is unrealistic to spend a long time fabricating lies. Therefore, they must either use their quick wits to fabricate some fatal lies that are full of loopholes and can be easily broken, or they can tell the truth. Tell everything you know.

Obviously, these people have their own ideas.

In terms of gossip and scandals that I am particularly concerned about, they have fabricated all kinds of lies that are full of loopholes, but in terms of intelligence that I am not concerned about, they have chosen to speak frankly and not hide anything.

And this is exactly the result I want.

After the intelligence collection was completed, I was satisfied with giving the home court to the Blue Witch and letting her make the request.

The Blue Witch's request sounded very funny to me.

She asked the restaurant owner and all the nobles present to donate the most expensive ingredients at home.

Just when I thought that such a ridiculous request would be questioned by everyone present, I suddenly discovered that everyone present looked shocked at first, and then extremely flattering, and they all respectfully agreed to the Blue Witch's request.

This made me think deeply.

Why is this happening?

Just when I was confused by this completely unconventional plot, Master Dewey's call answered all my doubts.
