Chapter Seventy-Eight: Conflict
The meeting place was at Ori's home, which was the aristocratic quarter.
Lu En sat at the round table with a glass of golden honey wine, which tasted sweet and refreshing, and he liked it a lot.
Surrounded by other decision-makers from the United Chamber of Commerce, sitting across from Lu En was the proprietress with an unhappy face next to the proprietress Ori.
Ori took a deep breath and looked at a woman sitting to his left, with fiery red hair, pale yellow eyes, ordinary appearance, dressed in old fashion, wrinkled face, about forty or fifty years old.
The old woman moved her fingers and motioned for Ori to stop.
There was also a man with a broken hand next to him, with a scar on his face, and a huge scar on his exposed neck, and at a glance, he knew that his head had been cut off in half, but now it had grown, and from the calluses on his remaining hand, it looked like he should be an adventurer.
Of course, Lu En knows who these people are, the four decision-makers of the United Chamber of Commerce, one is the proprietress of the big market, the other is Ori who is a chariot and horse dealer and transportation logistics, and then the leader of the Adventurers' Association, that is, the one-armed man, and finally, that is, the old woman in her fifties, she is the service giant of Larante, and she has almost half of Larante's hotels, inns, and prostitution halls, and also interferes in part of the slave trade and labor market, such as many nobles who can't afford to support too many lifelong servants, Maids are hired from her on a monthly basis to maintain the housework.
"Yo, it's all gathered, it's the first time I've seen this battle, what are you going to eat today? First of all, I'm only vegetarian. Luen's tone was like a joke.
Ori became more and more impatient, and took the lead in speaking: "Lucian, it doesn't matter what you eat, but don't you explain what happened at the meeting today?" What the hell is going on with Yurahir? Isn't she dead? ”
"How do I know? Or do you think it was a hoax I set up with her in the first place? Then why did you disclose this matter now, and let the Hall of Glows lose so much in vain? Does this make any sense? As for her calling me master, I suppose you wouldn't be stupid enough to think she would really recognize me as master, would you? ”
"Obviously, this is just a normal sowing discord, her casual words can stir your mind up, I think you need to calm down, we need to discuss why she came back to life, because I'm pretty sure I broke her head in the first place, not questioning me as a colleague for no reason like now." Lu En said.
Ori snorted, Lu En's words obviously didn't convince him, but he didn't continue to ask, because the old woman coughed dryly twice, interrupting Lu En's words.
"Well said, Lucian, I'm glad you still feel like you're one of us." The old woman clapped her hands: "But don't be so nervous, we're just here for dinner today, aren't we?" ”
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it, but I'm really a vegetarian, so you can just be a little bit of me and don't eat monsters today?" Lu En looked at the cutlery that was being laid out by the maid.
Today was supposed to be the proprietress cooking herself, but it seemed that something happened temporarily, so in the end the ingredients were handed over to the professional chef, and the proprietress spent a time to deal with emergencies.
It was a real emergency, Lu En dared to guarantee, because he spent a lot of energy to ensure that it was really a sudden event, and not someone planning it in secret, at least one night would definitely not be able to find any clues.
And if you can't find it tonight, you won't have a chance to check it after that.
"We'll make you a separate one, don't worry." The proprietress came out to play the role of easing the atmosphere, although Lu En could see at a glance that tonight was a triage of his three divisions, but the other party did not tear his face.
It's a pity that I'm going to tear my face tonight.
According to the predetermined plan, this is the only way to make all the decision-makers show up, because the organization of the United Chamber of Commerce is quite fragmented, and there must be something big enough to bring everyone together.
What's big enough? Of course, it is possible that the imperial nobleman named Lucian may betray this kind of thing, after all, this is a critical time.
But that's not enough, because I feel that I am very likely not to have good intentions, so I need guards, a lot of guards, to prevent myself from suddenly breaking out.
So, Lu En glanced around, and the four decision-makers were there.
Closing his eyes, there were at least seven people with magic skills around, including the old woman, because they all had magic power in their bodies, Lu En felt it very clearly, and in the same way, the other party could also feel that there was an extremely weak magic reaction on his body.
This is a side effect of absorbing magic to restore a part of his body, originally his body had no magic at all, and all of it was squeezed clean by the injury, but after recovering a part, he began to have a magic reaction, which is also the first reason why others have doubts about him.
There must have been other guards, but he didn't have reconnaissance skills, so he couldn't find them, but through his magic reaction, he could determine the location of this part of the mages.
"Well, that's right, by the way, I'm going to the toilet, does anyone want to go with me?" Lu En raised his hand.
"It's useless to delay time with gags, forget it, you go, I have something to ask you when I come back." Ori was a little impatient and waved his hand.
Anyway...... He already has a lot of information about Lucian, and he got it from the steward of Lucian's workshop, and he must expose this person's conspiracy today!
As for the one-armed man, he just sat silently from beginning to end, a complete outsider.
On Luen's side, he walked out of the house, twisted his neck, took a piece of candy from his pocket, and put it in his mouth.
Outside, there are high walls and bars, and hounds, guards, and lighting throughout the night to ensure that there is no such thing as darkness shrouding people sneaking in.
Tonight, Lu En has two goals, both of which are here, one is the decision-makers of the United Chamber of Commerce, the four big shots.
There is also the high-level professionals of the United Chamber of Commerce, they all act as temporary guards, here to prevent Lu En from getting angry because he is being questioned.
This was all expected by Lu En, when he joined the United Chamber of Commerce, he was prepared, originally scheduled for Kara to do this, but now things can be advanced.
Pretending to be dishonest makes Ori and the others wonder about themselves.
Pretend to be honest and let the other part of the people have a certain level of trust in themselves.
And then through the shouting that Yurahir is now calling at him, the United Chamber of Commerce will be suspicious of themselves, so they will seek answers.
How to seek it? Of course, a face-to-face conversation is best.
Face-to-face conversations are prone to conflicts, so their armed forces will gather here to prevent Lu En's action.
The masters of the United Chamber of Commerce are gathered here.
Just right for him......
Clean sweep.
