Section 196 Forcible seizure 12
Lu Wu immediately turned his attention to himself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is a middle-aged man next to him, both in terms of clothing and appearance, he is very ordinary, and it can only be speculated that he is a middle-aged person. The reason why I say "speculation" is because this person is described as withered, with a languid expression, standing there like a stunted onion. And this person is obviously not a natural bitter face similar to the red clothes, but from the frustration of life. In this case, it is normal for a person to look ten years old, and it is possible to be white-headed overnight, at least there is no shortage of such legends on the earth.
But other than that, there is nothing special about him. Lu Wu looked at him for a long time, and was discovered by a middle-aged man, and immediately changed his position. No matter how you look at it, this is an irrelevant stranger. If you stare at it again, it is estimated that it will be misunderstood, so Lu Wu had to ask.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Look at his neck. "Tips.
Lu Wu noticed that this person was wearing a necklace around his neck - the pendant of the necklace was nothing else, it was a small piece of wood that Lu Wu had in his pocket.
That's right, it's the emblem that represents Kecha Goat...... Carved from wood. Of course, this one hanging around the neck is a little more delicate than the one in Lu Wu's pocket, at least the corners are polished relatively smooth, leaving no wooden thorns. But even so, it can only be regarded as a very simple and rough carving, which has no value in itself, and can only be regarded as a child's entertainment, and is not suitable for a person to hang around his neck.
Lu Wu casually found an excuse to go up and chat with the other party, and turned the topic to the necklace around his neck as quickly as possible.
Unexpectedly, the other party was a little wary of Lu Wu at first, but when it came to this thing, his hostility dissipated most of it. In fact, the answer to this question can be said to have been expected by Lu Wu for a long time - this middle-aged man admitted that this thing was the holy emblem of the "Supreme Holy Lord". This supreme lord is a god from a foreign land, a protector in times of crisis, a guardian of adventure, and most importantly, a savior of the desperate.
Lu Wu deliberately expressed disdain and disbelief. The middle-aged man was immediately anxious, and he said directly, the Supreme Holy Lord is not that kind of false faith, but a real god. Because he will give promises and tips to devout believers. Two days ago, he had witnessed how a gambler (i.e., a fighting match) offered sacrifices and prayers to the Supreme Lord, and the lucky one received the favor and guidance of the Supreme Lord, and finally won a crucial gamble in a situation of near-despair. It can be said that that victory directly saved him.
The middle-aged man was also praying and making sacrifices, and he thought that he would soon gain the favor of the Supreme Lord.
The look and movement with which this man spoke was impressive. If you change the time and place, for example, to a certain gambling city on the earth, such as Macau, Lu Wu will feel that this is a gambler who loses to the point of losing to the point of red eye, so delirious and even hallucinating (for people who are in a hurry to lose, this kind of thing is not unusual). But in any case, at least at this moment, this gambler sincerely believes in the Supreme Holy Lord, and is an extremely devout believer.
The conversation, of course, ended in a big win for the gamblers. Because when the two sides separated, Lu Wu had to admit that he was full of curiosity and respect for this newborn god, and hinted that as long as the conditions were right, he was willing to worship this great gambling god. Because if he didn't make such an expression, it is estimated that he would not be able to get rid of the entanglement of the other party.
The entire black market is so messy that it is like a pot of churning eight-treasure porridge, and countless people are coming and going, resting, eating, shopping, and even flirting. All kinds of people have it. Lu Wu walked around casually for a short time, and soon found more traces of Kecha Goatβin fact, if you really set your mind to search carefully, you will find that similar things are already everywhere. Some people hang it around their necks as a necklace, and some wear it as a hand to keep it. In fact, there must have been more Kecha Goyats than they could find, hiding the emblem in some inconspicuous place on their bodies. And those high-ranking personnel, such as the high-level warlock (it should be a high-level warlock) who was the master of the gladiatorial arena that Lu Wu had just met, still seemed to be ignorant of the nature of Kecha Goat, and they didn't care at all about the spread of these beliefs, not turning a blind eye, but completely closing both eyes. They let it go, completely unaware of the true power of Kecha Goat.
"Master, will Kecha Goyat really lose?" After a while, Lu Wu confirmed that no one around him was paying attention to him, and suddenly asked. "I mean...... Even if his current things, his base, his army, his war equipment, all of this is lost because of the defeat, he can easily make a comeback. β
"Hey, mate," the master sighed slightly. If he had a human body, he would be shaking his head slightly. "If there is no warlock in this world, he does have a great chance of conquering the whole world...... But alas, there are warlocks in this world. It sighed again. "Don't talk about that, partner, someone is looking for you. β
Lu Wu opened his terminal for the first time.
Opposite the terminal, Ivan's face appeared. He looked nervous and immediately asked about the contract. That's right, it's what happened a little earlier today - it's the person named Gal, who inexplicably (of course, when you really think about it, it can't be said to be inexplicable) gave Lu Wuyi a lot of benefits. Everything else is just a trivial. But as for the maintenance costs of the floating fortress or something, he directly helped solve it completely! In other words, Lu Wu completely got rid of those debt problems.
The price he had to pay for this was insignificant, and that was to attack Kecha Goyat on order. This request may be life-threatening for others, as Kecha Goat has just completed the record of eating at least three floating fortresses in the Stygian Moon in one bite, and fighting Kecha Goat is a life-and-death risk. They need to be thoughtful and weigh the pros and cons before they can answer. But for Lu Wu, this is not the same thing at all. Because he's pretty sure that Kecha Goyat will never really be against him. Of course, Kecha Goyat will definitely not ignore Huiyue's offensive and let himself suffer losses, so when the time comes, Lu Wu will be fine, but there will definitely be people who will suffer.
But this "other people suffer" has no psychological resistance for Lu Wu. The so-called dead friends are not dead and poor, and there is nothing they can do if others are beaten by Kaicha Goyat, so it can only be said that the battlefield is ruthless, and casualties are inevitable.
In short, this is a big pie that fell from the sky, so Lu Wu ate it in one bite without hesitation.
At least so far, that's what Lu Wu thinks. In order to prevent reversal, the two parties even signed a contract - or an agreement - and then the other party directly sent the first money.
It should be said that it is perfect, so perfect that Lu Wu is still in that kind of joy now.
"Your Excellency Lu Wu, I'm afraid you've been fooled. Ivan on the other side smiled bitterly. "Did you notice that clause that would allow the Floating Fortress to carry troops?"
Lu Wu was a little baffled. Floating fortresses are inherently highly capable of transporting large numbers of marines to where they are going in a short period of time. Therefore, it is natural for the other party to make such a request. At least until now, Lu Wu didn't understand what was wrong.
"You see, you own this Floating Fortress, but you are not the owner of the Floating Fortress. You own it now, but your ownership is not recognized by anyone. If one day, it is taken away by someone else, then there is no other way than to use your own power to take it back. β
"That's so, but isn't it in our hands?" If you want to take the Floating Fortress from Lu Wu, you must defeat Lu Wu - this is equivalent to destroying the Floating Fortress. This becomes a paradox.
"Your Excellency, Commander," Ivan sighed, finally making his words clear. "Think about what would happen if the other forces, whoever they were, had ten legions on the Floating Fortress? β
"What do you mean......"
"We can't accept this agreement. Ivan said. "It's going to cost us the Floating Fortress. I'm sorry I didn't see it just now, but now that someone reminds me, I understand the pitfall. Maybe they don't mean it, but we have to avoid it. β
"But......" Lu Wu finally came back to his senses. "So we have to refund and terminate the contract?"
"It's not that simple, the agreement has already stipulated, if we refund the money, we must pay compensation, the agreement is not written, but according to custom, I'm afraid it will cost 100 million belica!" Ivan sighed. "And this is a case where the other party does not have ulterior motives...... In case this is some planned trap......"
"Borrowed!" someone passed by. The other party bumped Lu Wu's hand slightly, making his fingers press the button, and the call was ended early. Lu Wu turned around and glared at the person who was in the way, but he unexpectedly recognized the other party.
It was the fighter who had knocked out his opponent in an instant with a disgraceful cold punch.
The fighter's attention was obviously not on Lu Wu, in fact, he didn't even stay on Lu Wu for half a second out of the corner of his eye. At the moment, he wore a magic ring on his finger and another in the center of his palm. He placed the one in the center of his palm on the small table.
Only then did Lu Wu realize that he had unknowingly come to the stall selling magic rings on the first floor. The merchant (and by reasonable logic, a warlock) lifted his hood, and it turned out to be a bright woman. She picked up the ring with two fingers and looked at it for a moment, "Ten million Belica." He said. "It was only worth eight million, but ...... Since we have agreed, I am willing to buy it at a premium. β
Lu Wu suddenly realized that this thing was so expensive! You must know how much this kind of ring costs on the public trade network? hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands? And it is still a brand new ring, and at the moment, this one is obviously a second-hand item that has consumed some of its magic power.
In this black market, prices have increased twenty times, and perhaps more than that.
The deal ended quickly, and after the fighter left, Lu Wu walked up.
"This," Lu Wu pointed to a ring on the side of the table, "how to sell it?"
"Five million belika. The Warlock Merchant smiled, her gaze resting on Lu Wu's fingers almost instantly. "There's not much magic in this ring, it's not worth buying. But I'd love to buy from you. β
"I didn't plan to sell this ring. Lu Wu said, and at the same time pointed to the one that had just been acquired. He came so quickly that the ring had not yet been put away, but was abruptly placed in the corner of the table. "Where's this one?"
"Fifteen million Belica. The Warlock Merchant smiled charmingly. "I don't want to buy the one on your finger, but I can buy the others. β
