Section 140 Translocation of the king's chariot 3
If this abrupt single knife straight in shocked Diemeng, at least it couldn't be seen on her face at all. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoButterfly still has her original smile. "This ...... Does it matter?"
Ordinary people can't tell a warlock from a crowd unless they display supernatural powers in front of someone else's eyes. Of course, it is not incomprehensible that Lu Wu is aware of her identity. For example, her retinue could be bribed (of course, this is almost unlikely). But the biggest possibility should be the one that fought with the Moon Rangers before. That time, Diemeng took a lot of effort to deal with that ranger (especially after running such a long way), and if it was captured by a surveillance camera in the process, then the news reached Lu Wu's ears, and it was not difficult to deduce the truth from this.
"Well, yes, it's important. Lu Wu said. Although Butterfly Dream does not seem to answer this question, this evasive attitude is an answer in itself. "Ms. Diemeng, can I hire you?"
"Employment...... Me?ah...... Ha ha...... Ha ha...... Ha ......" Diemeng was stunned for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing. She leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, barely breathless.
Not only her, but also the female attendant standing on the side also showed a mocking smile on their faces. Employ? Yes, of course, as long as you have the permission of at least one of the consuls. She almost blurted out the words in her heart. But fortunately, in the end, she managed to keep her mouth shut.
Lu Wu already knew that there were special rules for warlocks to be hired, and one of the main rules was that those warlocks themselves wanted to be hired. Let's say when they're tight. In this world, money is not as omnipotent as on earth, but it is also impossible to do without money. So, of course, when a warlock has the right to act alone (most low-level warlocks don't have this right), he can use his natural power to earn money for himself. And there are too many places where the power of the warlock is needed.
"You should be able to find a warlock willing to accept the hire, right?" Butterfly finally retracted her smile. "Why are you looking for me?" she was also slightly confused by the question. After all, there are still many warlocks who want to make money, and as long as Lu Wu is willing to pay, he can definitely find someone.
If he could, Lu Wu didn't want to find Butterfly Dream. After all, the other party is obviously deliberately hiding his identity. What the consequences of revealing this identity will be, Lu Wu is not clear. But the problem is that he doesn't have time right now.
If you do bounty recruitment on the public trade network, it is estimated that it will take at least seven or eight days to find a Warlock to help. But Lu Wu didn't have that much time. In this case, he had to hit the idea on this fake female scholar who didn't know what to think. Lu Wu didn't know whether the identity of this "female scholar" was true or false, but he was sure that among all the identities of Diemeng, the identity of a high-level warlock must be the one she was the most important.
"I'm willing to offer a good price. Lu Wu cautiously reported a number. This figure was obtained by reference to the price at which Aqi hired the bald head in the first place. Of course, Ah Qi himself admitted that it was an accident to hire a powerful warlock like a bald head at such a cheap price, so for the sake of insurance, Lu Wu increased the price of the bald head tenfold.
Lu Wu didn't know if this price was enough to impress Diemeng, but at least he wouldn't be considered insincere by Diemeng, right? As long as Diemeng had this will, Belica's problem was actually easy to say.
"Haha...... Haha......" Diemon laughed again, and at the end, she put her hand on her chin and made a lazy pose. "Actually, it's not impossible to hire me, but," she smiled. "I have a small condition. ”
Lu Wu began to feel that things were not as simple as he expected. Although the self-proclaimed sorceress of Butterfly Dream seemed to be very interested in him, it was obvious that it would not be so easy to say that she was on Lu Wu's side to help. But then again, that's normal.
"Don't worry, I don't ask too much, I just want to do a test. Because I don't want to be dictated to something stupid by a fool, my test is simple, it's a kind of mind game, guessing puzzles. ”
It should be noted that when she said the word "guessing riddle", it was not a paraphrase of the local phonetics, but the Chinese of the earth.
Lu Wuyi couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
"Yes, it's a game called 'guessing'. It's a kind of mind game from another world. Diemeng obviously completely misunderstood Lu Wu's reaction, "Through the given suggestive text, according to a specific rule, guess something or text within the specified range, etc. It's easy to say, but it's actually very mysterious. I just came into contact with it for a short time, and then I tried to find a lot of people, and it turned out that they couldn't guess, hahaha...... But don't worry, it doesn't matter if you can't guess, I'm just going to see if you're really smart enough or lucky enough. ”
"Say it, please. ”
"This mystery is like this, what is it, four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?" Diemeng raised a finger with interest. The riddle was the result of the wisdom of another world, and although the answer was very simple and relevant, she didn't think anyone in this world could guess so easily. In fact, she had tried this not long ago. She used the terminal to contact several scholars who were known for their nimble brains, and used the riddle to test it. The result, of course, is that no one can answer, or even think that such a thing does not exist at all. Later, she went further, and before meeting Lu Wu, she sent this riddle to a large contact range through the terminal, so that almost all the smart people she knew could guess it well. But until Lu Wu asked to meet, no one had guessed the correct answer.
This is indeed a very clever play on words, and in the legends of another world, this riddle is derived from an extremely powerful monster. In that legend, before the monster's riddle was finally solved and petrified, it used it to wreak havoc on a large area, eating many people who were not smart enough.
"Let me state first," she shook her finger before Lu Wu could reply. "If you say it's some kind of mutant bug in this place at the Banshee's Gate, you'll have to get me that bug to prove it. ”
Of course there can't be such a bug. She was convinced of that.
Although she was very interested in Lu Wu, if it was really a matter of life and death, she didn't mind pulling Lu Wu. But how to say it, if nothing else, her eyes still hurt. This pain, the responsibility has to be picked by Lu Wu. So this is a deliberate difficulty.
"That ......" Lu Wu wanted to speak and stopped. Diemeng noticed that Lu Wu's face looked very strange, as if he wanted to say something, but the muscles on his face were writhing uncontrollably.
"If I can guess the correct answer...... Lu Wu said.
"If you guess it, I can do it for free. Diemeng stared at each other and smiled. "It's a warlock's assurance. ”
"Even if it...... The opponent of the mission is also a Warlock of the Radiant Moon?"
"Even if the opponent is also a Warlock of the Radiant Moon. Butterfly nodded. Others may not understand, but she will not understand? Radiant Moon Warlocks do not necessarily love each other, and killing each other is also a common thing. Of course, the premise of this is: don't get caught. But if you do get caught, then at least give a proper reason.
But it didn't matter, because she was at least 90% sure. In fact, she had already conceived of the future of this matter - when Lu Wu lost everything, that is, when only life remained, she would save him. Then, she should be able to know all the causes and consequences of the bald head's death.
Of course, from another point of view, she is also looking forward to some new surprises.
……
At dusk.
The bearded officer looked out and saw that the crowd outside the city had not decreased, but had grown more and more, and now a black wall of people had formed. The officer wears an older exoskeleton armor. But old is old, and it is still a powerful set of mechanical equipment that can be used. To identify him, the chest of the exoskeleton armor was also painted with a symbol representing the squadron leader.
From the afternoon onwards, there were more and more people outside the sentry posts. Grumas had left a large pile of corpses outside in the morning, but it seemed to have had the opposite effect. Maybe the rangers were finally enraged, or maybe for some other reason, the number of people who were as silent as trees outside didn't decrease at all. No, it's not just not decreasing, it's increasing.
"The group of rangers scattered...... Do you want to cause trouble?" the squadron leader gritted his teeth in hatred. It's too much, it's too much. Only now did he remember the former local army units with more than twenty legions outside the city of Nice. Of course, these troops were disarmed, and all heavy equipment was confiscated. But the number is really good.
There was an inexplicable pressure in the air. Nowadays, I can feel a little bit of the emotion called "fear". Although he was wearing exoskeleton armor. But even exoskeleton armor can only deal with dozens of guns. In the face of hundreds, thousands of rifles, it may not be able to bargain.
It's something that has never happened before, was last night's killing too much? Was it yesterday during the day? Of course, it could have been the day before yesterday or earlier. Anyway, he has done a lot of such things, these disobedient guerrillas are scattered, he has always put force first, kill first, and then talk about it.
But this is a direct order from Master Grumas, and he is only the executor. Even taking out the bloody corpses of those criminals for public display was directly instructed by Master Grumas...... Do you want to riot, these pariahs? Master Grumas is the defense commander of Nice!
He has shrunk his line. Or to be more specific, he withdrew his small forces to the rear. Give the pile of materials to the mob at their disposal. It was thought that this would satisfy the demands of the mob, but now it seems that this step of concession is where the failure lies. The mob seemed to have tasted the sweetness, and instead of dispersing, they called for more and more friends.
If his entire squadron were here fully armed, he would not be afraid. But now the situation is different, he is just a sentry here, there are only a dozen people around him, and there are very few wearing exoskeleton armor.
"Haven't you delivered the news to Master Grumas yet?" he asked anxiously. None of his men dared to answer. The news, of course, had already reached the rear. When Grumas probably didn't care about this little thing, he didn't give a single reply.
Dusk was almost at the end, and the light was getting worse and worse, but there seemed to be more and more wriggling figures outside the city.
