Chapter 266: Dead
Lu En looked at this giant who was loyal to the empire with his life, but paved the way for himself with his life, and didn't know what to say for a while.
He knew very well that he had walked through the ghost gate, and if Riston had chosen to report the matter to the empire truthfully after learning about it and figuring it out......
With the efficiency of the Empire, everything will definitely be investigated quickly and thoroughly.
Although he didn't have any sense of intersection with the Federation from beginning to end, this is indeed the truth, Lu En never interfered in anything with the Federation from beginning to end, in the eyes of any secret agent, the king of monsters has nothing to do with this organization that appeared out of nowhere, but the empire will definitely rather kill the wrong one than let it go.
So, at this point, it is impossible for Lu En to let Riston survive.
Absolutely do not interfere in this, this is Lu En's test for the Federation, and it is also a way to protect himself, for the development of the Federation, he is not good to interfere too much, a force that subverts the empire, it must only rely on himself to grow, and nothing else can interfere, otherwise, he will not be able to subvert the empire.
All Lu En did was sow the seeds, and then block the sight of the empire for them, so that they would not be discovered and eradicated at the seedling stage, and there would be no chance of growth at all.
However, how to develop, how to sweep away ills, how to overcome difficulties, how to cultivate forces, how to build institutions, how to unite the masses, and how to disseminate ideas are all things that they themselves should learn.
There must be a process for understanding the objective world.
First of all, they do not know or do not fully understand, but after repeated practice, they have achieved results in practice, have victories, have fallen, suffered losses, touched nails, and have a comparison between success and failure, and then it is possible to gradually develop into a complete understanding or a relatively complete understanding.
At that time, you will be able to act more actively, be more free, and become smarter.
Freedom is the recognition of necessity and the transformation of the objective world.
It is only on the basis of the recognition of necessity that people are free to move. This is the dialectical law of freedom and necessity.
Without sufficient practical experience and a practical understanding of the nature of the world, the actions of any person, any organization or group are always unconscious and blind.
At this time, they are some stupid people who will do a lot of stupid things, so they need to understand the world through practice and summarize useful things.
Because of this, Lu En insisted on doing this, after all, Lu En himself didn't think he could do it, so how could he be worthy of commanding and leading them?
It's just that, although I know that the chances are slim, the process is difficult.
But after all, it has to be done.
The battle was over, looking at Riston's charred corpse, Lu En first completely incinerated it into ashes, then thought for a while, made a flat small box from mud to stone, and put the ashes in it.
Then, Lu En was holding the box and was about to leave to look for someone, when he suddenly felt someone approaching behind him.
Turning sideways and looking back, he saw Riston's wife, a woman named Léa, who was exactly what she was looking for.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and there were tears that hadn't been wiped away.
"Sir, can you leave that thing to me?" She looked at the urn in Lu En's hand and whispered.
"Yes, but I need to check your head to make sure you don't know something, if you do...... All I can say is sorry, but I'll put you in there too, and you won't be separated. Lu En said.
"What do you need me to do?" To Lu En's surprise, she replied directly, without even hesitation and fear.
"Magic can't search people's memories, but I can make you a fool and say whatever you ask." After Lu En finished explaining, he raised his hand and released a mentally retarded technique.
It's a classic spell that can turn the other person into a demented fool with drooling and laughing.
After carefully interrogating this fool, Lu En was sure that the other party really didn't know anything.
But even if he didn't know anything, after reading today's events, he would definitely know that something was wrong, so he also asked Riston by the way how he told Léa.
The stupid and stupid Leia couldn't hide any secrets from her under the dual effects of retardation and human charm, and told what Riston had told her before.
Her words were confused, her words were slurred, and she sometimes forgot to speak, but Lu En listened to them all patiently and summed up what she wanted to say.
She said that Riston had been preparing the trap half a year ago, buying some supplies, inviting friends in advance, and it looked like he was preparing for war, and at that time Riston told Leia that the King of Monsters might come to kill him, so he had to be prepared.
But a few months ago, Riston removed all these arrangements, and told Leia not to ask anything from now on, and to wait until one day, just take his corpse, and if there is no corpse, then try to give yourself a thought, you can take the relic or something, because he has to fight the king of monsters to the death.
After listening to these intermittent and unstructured descriptions, Lu En sighed with emotion, and from these clues, he could deduce that it turned out that Riston expected that the King of Monsters would come to the door half a year ago.
Since then, he has been ready to fight at all times, but the preparations made at that time are to ambush and kill Lu En and completely destroy him.
However, just a few months ago, he had seen the Federation, figured out the joints, and deduced the origin of the blast furnace from the trade routes of the Anliu caravan, and finally concluded that the Federation was the plan of the King of Monsters.
This is a means to subvert the empire, but it is also a means to save everyone.
Riston may have struggled and hesitated for a long time, but in the end he chose to be loyal and righteous, fighting for the empire with his life until the last moment, and using his death to keep the secret for Lu En.
"Ugh." Lu En sighed again, lifted the mentally retarded technique, and confirmed that Leia really didn't know anything, Lu En was ready to use her to mislead the empire, so that the empire thought that it was Riston who took the initiative to trouble him, so he was killed by himself.
This should also be Riston's thoughts, the earth dragon is not stupid, on the contrary, this giant man is very sharp and intelligent.
This is the way he left Leia to live, and it is impossible for him to completely leave Leia's life and death to Luen's conscience, so he arranged a way to live, that is, to let Leia "perjury".
Let Leia really think that Riston and Lu En are simple vendettas, and this is the result of the empire asking, completely covering up this matter, and letting Lu En bear a reputation as a madman and tyrannical, which can make him safe enough and safe enough to carry out the next move in the empire.
The dragon of the earth, it's really a pity to die, foolish loyalty, feudal monarchs and ministers kill people.
With this in mind, he left the unconscious Leia in place, teleported away, and disappeared where she was.
About an hour later, in Apidu.
In Marshal Slyer's mansion, Lu En still had the same unhurried posture, holding a cane, while enjoying the surrounding scenery and observing the surrounding situation, he walked into it.
The two guards came to verify their identity, but after confirming that it was Lu En, they quickly and respectfully led him to Marshal Slyer.
The marshal was wearing a nightgown at the moment, after all, it was already night, and Lu Endu had dinner with Riston.
This is Marshal Slyer's bedroom, the magic lamp is as bright as an incandescent light bulb, there is a large bed with a luxurious canopy in the center of the room, there are huge tapestries hanging on the wall, and a plush blanket embroidered with the noble coat of arms of Marshal Slaile's family is spread on the ground, which is worth a lot of money at a glance.
There are a few bookshelves around with books on them, all of which are of fine paper and leather covers, and they look like manuscripts, which are very valuable.
"What's going on, you're alone?" Field Marshal Slais stood up to welcome Luen.
At the same time, he walked to the window and opened it, letting the sparkling fishing fires outside, the sound of the tide of the vast sea, and the eye-catching lighthouse meet Lu En's eyes: "Have you eaten?" Food can be delivered directly to this room, what are the menu requirements? ”
"I've already eaten, and I've been entertained by Riston himself,"
Lu En didn't rush to reply to him, he looked at the scenery outside, there may have been a storm before, the air was very fresh, the lights on the street looked as beautiful as jewels, and the light on the lighthouse was very vibrant, I believe it could be seen even in the deep sea.
"Ha, Riston personally entertained him, that's definitely not a good thing, that guy is poor and only has the guy on his body, let's eat some more." He said with a smile and asked the waiter to make the food.
In a few moments, the meal was ready, with crispy fish grilled, stewed meat that falls off the bones with a light tear, some fresh vegetables and soup, a dessert basket filled with raisins and apples, and white wheat bread as a staple food.
Lu En is also not polite, he usually doesn't care about eating, but now that he is a big eater, he doesn't mind eating some exquisite meals, picks up bread, sandwiches vegetable stew, and starts eating.
"This is the first time I've seen this way of eating." said the marshal.
"It's convenient." Lu En swallowed and said.
Field Marshal Slyer didn't care about this, he just said it casually, and immediately he got to the point: "What about Riston?" Why didn't I come back with you? ”
"Oh, you said he, when I came back, he was dead." Lu En ate a homemade burger, and then said, "It's not the same thing."
The atmosphere froze suddenly.
Marshal Slyer's expression froze on his face, and it was very exciting.
"You say...... What the? He repeated.
"He's dead." Lu En also repeated it casually,
