The car finally caught up and stopped in front of Lu Wu and his party. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unexpectedly, the chariot that caught up was not as Aki expected, and it was full of soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor. In fact, there was only one person in the car, not to mention that this person was barehanded, let alone exoskeleton armor, and he didn't even have a general-purpose rifle.

It was a young herald, and the chase made him sweat profusely. He got out of the car and ran straight over, ignoring the large group of heavily armed soldiers around him, and handed a letter to Lu Wu.

"This is ......" Everyone, including Lu Wu, really never thought that this was a messenger.

"Master Grumas's invitation," the messenger replied, gasping for air. "Your Excellency Lu Wu, Lord Grumas of the Flare Family, I hereby invite you to the banquet he is holding in the city of Nice at noon, please be sure to come. ”

Several people couldn't help but look at each other in surprise. However, the messenger had apparently been told not to reveal much information in this regard. So after the other party accepted the letter, he immediately saluted, then ran back to his car, and drove away as soon as he smoked.

Lu Wu handed the letter to Amber, and after Amber looked at it for a while, he nodded to Lu Wu, indicating that it was indeed just a letter, and there were no malicious traps and traps on it.

Lu Wu opened the letter, this was indeed just an invitation letter. As on Earth, the content of this format is so simple that you can't analyze any useful information from it. Then, the invitation took turns in everyone's hands.

"O Radiant Sun Family," this is the third noble family confirmed by Lu Wu. The first is Amber's "Void Face", the second is the "Evening Star" where Aqi belongs, and the third is this family called "Bright Sun". According to the traditions of this world, these surnames are essentially derived from the titles of the founders of the family, and most of them are the merits they have established. So basically, as soon as you say the name of the family, everyone can guess what his ancestors did, and it is clear at a glance. It's a pity that this method of interpretation has local characteristics, at least Lu Wu can't interpret it. Of course, it doesn't matter, he can't, the people around him can. "The name sounds ...... Pretty awesome. ”

"Of course," Aqi replied casually. "Needless to say, judging by the name of their family alone, this family has at least one consul, otherwise it would not be possible to use the word 'Flare'. ”

"Moreover, judging from the boastful word 'Flare', this ancestor of theirs is also very high among the consuls, and at least the first three seats are almost qualified, and the first seat can be said to be worthy of the name. Of course, this may also be bragging, maybe just a low-ranking consul, but it can't stop his descendants from being proud of him and adding him to the rank of knight in the cowhide. Redcoat added. "I'm not familiar with the Flare family, but I've seen things like this to brag about my ancestors. But it doesn't matter, the key thing is, what is the current situation of the Flare family?"

"The Flare family is a very powerful family. Speaking of this topic, Aqi's expression seemed to be a little gloomy. They are both nobles, but now that the Evening Star family has declined (although by some harsh standards, the Evening Star family has never risen), the Evening Star family is still a formidable force, at least, they still hold the title of Governor. This incident itself is an important guarantee for the continuation of the family. "It still is. ”

"Do they have a warlock in their family?"

"Yes, and there is more than one high-level warlock. Aki replied that she didn't know anything about the Floating Fortress and the plots behind it to fight for it, so she answered the question directly according to the common sense of the world. "It's not wise to offend them. ”

"What do you mean...... Should I go to the banquet?" Lu Wu asked. The biggest problem they had studied before was the fear that Grumas had ambitions for the Floating Fortress. What should Grumas do to achieve his goal in the most convenient and effortless way? This can be seen by a fool, that is, to kidnap Lu Wu.

Of course, after today's clash with Grumas's men, this possibility is even greater. In this case, they even feel that it is dangerous to spend the night in the city of Nice, and if they go to a banquet specially prepared by the other party according to the invitation, isn't it equivalent to falling into the mouth of a tiger?

"As long as he still has the slightest bit of aristocratism, he will not act hostile to you at his own banquet. Aqi said. "Otherwise, this matter will become an eternal stain on the Flare Family. Even if he wants to attack you, he will send you away first. ”

Lu Wu looked at several other people around him, whether it was Hongyi or Ivan, they all nodded to him silently, indicating that in this regard, it was indeed as Ah Qi said. It seems that within the moral norms of this world, such as the "Hongmen Feast", a common scheme on the earth is not allowed. Of course, if it is used to calculate the Stygian faction, it is not impossible, but in any case, at least for now, Grumas and Lu Wu are considered colleagues.

And although it seems that no one cares about the Banshee Gate, but really strictly speaking, there are a bunch of consuls at the top. They're just too insignificant to be taken care of by the consuls, not really unmanageable. For example, Lu Wu's status as the commander of the legion was not appointed by the governor, but was obtained by the Evening Star family for him. The details of how it works are not clear to Lu Wu, but he also vaguely understands that it is actually a direct appointment from the highest level, that is, the level of the consul.

In other words, it doesn't seem to know why Grumas invited him, but it seems like a great environment to sit down and have a good conversation. In this case, Lu Wu can confirm face-to-face what Grumas's attitude is towards the floating fortress that is being repaired.

……

"Suffocate me, partner. Congratulations, you're in luck. As soon as he came to his living tent, the master immediately opened the conversation. "In this way, the Floating Fortress is in hand. ”

"Got it?" Lu Wuyi didn't come back to his senses.

"Ha, why don't you understand? "The master reminded. "She doesn't have anything else now, it's just that her magic recovery speed is strong. ”

For unknown reasons, Amber is now able to convert electricity into mana through Holoera. In this world, getting electricity is as easy as the earth, so this can be said to be Amber's biggest trump card at the moment. Perhaps her explosiveness is poor because of her injuries, but when she fights for a long time, she can completely destroy any warlock in this world.

How could the natural recovery speed be comparable to the power replenishment? Amber was almost at risk of running out of mana.

The master's words made Lu Wu come back to his senses immediately, and it was true.

"Partner, that is, your brain is more dead," the master said in a tone of hatred. "But then again, I guess the little warlock himself has already thought of this. Of course, you can't be so reckless and just let the little warlock do it, otherwise it will be too easy to show the stuff. There must be a suitable excuse so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion. ”

In the master's voice, there was an unconcealed excitement. During this period of time, the two of them have studied hard every day, isn't it just to be able to correctly control the Floating Fortress? It should be noted that although Lu Wu's study time is only one or two hundred class hours at most, because of the magic ring, the actual effect is at least ten times more than this. But even so, Lu Wu can only say that he has learned the most superficial (and of course, the most practical) part of the necessary abilities of a fortress commander. And the masters...... At least Lu Wu couldn't figure out how much it had learned. But it feels like a master, if not a ten, ten, at least a master, has learned seven, seven, eight, eight, or eight, right? At least, the master is very eager to try this matter, that is, the actual control and command of a floating fortress.

If anything, it can only be said that this is a difference between different species. Even if you go all out to study, the master still has enough leisure to do something else. For example, the master is now capable of preliminarily deciphering the wireless codes of the Bright Moon and the Stygian Moon (although Lu Wu still has not figured out how the people of this world achieve wireless data transmission, and there is obviously no reflection from the Earth's ionosphere here). According to the experts, this is something that can only be obtained by investing a lot of time and repeated trials.

"By the way, there's one more thing," the master prompted. "That...... Sorceresses, be a little more careful. ”

……

"Ma'am, they're back. The entourage hurriedly brought news to Diemeng.

Diemeng was lying in a tent - the tent was provided to her by Lu Wu - lying in a sleeping bag, with the towel and ice pack on her eyes. Because she used the power she shouldn't have used before, her eyes were damaged. Fortunately, the injury was very minor and did not require any treatment, and it could heal naturally after a little rest. The reason for the cold compress is mainly to make her feel better.

Because of a small eye injury, she basically didn't move all day.

"It doesn't seem like there was a conflict," the attendant added. "I don't know if I've already met the commander of Nice City, the man named Grumas. Isn't there an agreement?"

"Definitely not. The Flare Family is here for the Floating Fortress at all, how can there be any agreement?" Butterfly Dream has her own judgment on this. Although she was partly responsible for this, how to put it - when the repairman was called in to repair the floating fortress, the matter could not have been a secret. How could a team of hundreds or thousands of people, without strict selection and strict control, not leak the news? Moreover, even if this maintenance team did carry out strict control, it would be useless - unless the people of Nice were blind and deaf.

In the final analysis, Lu Wu's luck was not good, the Floating Fortress did not fall on the edge of Gasha City, but on the edge of Nice City, which was far away from Gashe City. Therefore, although it was said that Butterfly Dream had spread the news to the rear in advance and attracted the attention of the Flare family, the impact she had caused was nothing more than to advance things slightly. Regardless of whether there is news of her or not, the Sunny Family will never let go of such an opportunity.

Of course, if the crash site of this floating fortress is Gasha City, then it is impossible for Lu Wu to be "entrusted with defense" and become the commander of Gashe City.
