Chapter 91: Unfolded smoothly
However, Major Kadar did not regret it, and it was because of the presence of Luz, and because of her exuberant curiosity that drove the investigation, that the troubles that had plagued her for a long time had a chance to be reversed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Luz tells the Major a solution that solves the problem of travelers fearing to visit the trading city in order to protect their lives after the "disappearance of humans" was made public. When this method is used, it not only reduces the fear of unknown monsters, but also attracts more travelers, or people who come to the trading city "for other needs", and indirectly creates greater commercial and economic value.
The way to do that is, put on a show.
Recently, it is the "Rainy Shadow Season", which has been held for many years, and many travelers and businessmen have heard of it, and even many people have come to participate in it. The method that Luz came up with was born from this as an extension of it. She proposed to Major Kadar to announce one thing to the whole city, and that was to hold a grand event in the name of celebration.
The content of the event was a show of force by the Imperial Army, a military performance achieved by defeating the "mysterious monster" in front of the entire public.
In this way, the "mysterious monster" can be openly lured, and the military can openly use force in front of the eyes of the public to eliminate the troublesome "pest" that endangers national security, economic development, and profits, and successfully remove the uneasy factors that have plagued the country for a long time.
However, there are some problems to overcome before the plan can be implemented, the first of which is the location of the stage. If the "mysterious monster" that caused the incident was more powerful than Yi expected, Major Kadar had to urgently call for support from the western frontier front closest to the city, and considering the distance of the troops, the major decided to choose the trade square with the shortest travel time, and the houses around the trade square were mostly modular houses, which were specially made to deal with the large flow of travelers and merchants who stayed for a short time. In this way, the major's troops fought against the "mysterious monster", and the devastating aftermath of the collision between the two would not cause serious losses to the city.
The second point is the seating arrangement for the audience to watch the performance.
As for how to move the audience to the preset location above, I believe that at the request of the Major, the "White Giant Ant" seller who had entrusted the case to the Major was very willing to rent a ride to help the soldiers quickly complete the entrusted task. When the audience rides a colony of giant white ants, they line up the trees in a neat line in the "sky seats" formed by the stems of natural trees, and the audience is afraid that they will fall in love with the world scenery seen from above, and at the same time, they will be amazed by the beauty of the trading city in the scenery.
The third problem is the method of inducing "mysterious monsters".
On her first day in the Trade City, Luz became aware of the existence of a "mysterious monster" beneath the city while she was asleep at night. For this reason, Luz asked the major the reason through the military's secret communication beast "Pink Moth", and it was also during the questioning process at that time that Luz confirmed that Luz's feelings were right. Luz collected relevant information from the Major, and learned the background of the missing person from the "Human Disappearance Case" information. Luz has speculated that the reason why these people disappeared is that they must have a rare trait that attracts "mysterious monsters". Although Luz has not yet found out what the "specific nature of the rare trait" of these people is, it is enough for Luz to understand that these people have the conditions to lure "mysterious monsters".
Luz asks Major Kadar to provide all the items related to the missing humans, and then work with the "Quack Toad Book" to craft spices. Luz portions the spices to the troops, to sprinkle them on themselves, and to "camouflage" them in the smell of the missing. The army did so, and in order to confirm that this method worked, several small experiments were conducted, which confirmed that this method was successful, and it was a clever plan to lure out the "mysterious monster".
Therefore, the twelve Imperial soldiers and Luz who attended the banquet in the canopy today played the role of inducing the "mysterious monster", and were important opening personnel of the "Rain Shadow Season" in the trading city.
However, there is one thing that Luz has said before proposing to play the bait, and that is that there are blind spots in this inducement and it is likely that it will not succeed. Luz asserted this in light of the army's previous failures in the inducement tactics. The "mysterious monster" was lured by the tactics of the army to appear, but it always did not appear for a long time, and sometimes it did not even eat the bait, so it quickly retreated back to the ground.
As to the reason, Luz and Major Kadar have not yet been able to figure out why. Although there is no substantive answer to that incident, as to why the "mysterious monster" did that, I guess by feeling that the "mysterious monster" is actually afraid of some kind of "thing" that threatens his life, and that thing is not "armed sanctions by the army" but some kind of ...... Something unknown at the moment.
There is an element of instability in this plan to lure the "mysterious monster", but broadly speaking, there are many invisible uncertainties before doing anything, and there is never an element that guarantees a perfect score. Moreover, the Rain Shadow season is approaching, and the plan cannot be executed if that opportunity is missed, but there is no more ideal alternative plan at present, and the problem of "mysterious monsters" cannot be put aside forever, so Major Kadar has to accept Luz's request to hunt "mysterious monsters".
As a result, the plan was carried out as scheduled, and twelve Imperial soldiers, Luz and others gathered in the canopy square, relying on the smell emitted by their own sprinkling of spices, using the rain to disperse and seep into the ground, and directly convey the smell through the medium of soil to the "mysterious monster" lurking inside, attracting it to appear.
After that, the "Mysterious Monster" successfully made its way into the Beast Sales Area of the Trade City. It erected its long, thick, segmented body towards the sky, and made a loud noise as it slammed its tentacles against the rain curtain world. The cracked roar echoed through the sky, and the audience in the trees cheered in response. This performance, which told a big lie, was lucky and unfolded smoothly with everyone's expectations.
"Hurry, hurry, we need to hurry up and lure that monster to the point of impact. ā
"Yes, we will not live up to the expectations of the A-level capable adults, and at the same time, in order to save the face of the major, the subordinates will perform the task well. ā
Luz's voice was still loud in the rain, and the adjutant of the troops she was talking to was also responding with a strong voice.
