Chapter 67: Collapse
"Then did you think that I would have come to kill you in the first place?" Livia seemed very cold, and did not treat her father in the slightest, but like an enemy.
Lu En didn't answer, and let the other party help him to the hotel where he was staying.
In the room of the hotel, it was cluttered, all kinds of things were placed haphazardly, and the quilt was not tidied up.
Before, Nana was in charge of cleaning up, and Lu En strictly forbade all idle people, including the servants of the inn, to enter his room, so recently Nana left, no one cleaned up, and this place has become a mess.
The table was littered with scratch paper, and the floor was sprinkled with crumpled paper balls with countless designs and mathematical formulas.
The blueprints were not only blueprints for the various workshop installations, but also magic arrays, and the mathematical formulas were not known for what they were used for, and Livia couldn't read the strange symbols.
"You look pretty busy." As she spoke, she threw Lu En onto the bed and closed the door.
Without waiting for Lu En to reply, she sat on the edge of the bed: "I have a question for you, you have to answer honestly, otherwise I don't mind killing you again." ”
Her words were still so polite, to be honest, if she hadn't been beaten, Lu En really wanted to beat her.
"You can't beat me, you're too weak now." Livia saw what Lu En meant: "Moreover, I won't allow you to touch me." ”
Her words were cold and stiff, and she didn't treat Lu En as a father at all, but when she spoke, her hands trembled a little.
It's like holding something back.
She took a deep breath: "Answer me, I was ......"
Just as she was saying this, she was interrupted by Lu En.
"I know what you're trying to ask, so I'll tell you directly." Lu En waved his hand: "You killed it in the first place, not me." ”
With a bang, Lu En had no detection or listening skills, but he still heard his heart pounding in the room.
"Yes...... Livia nodded silently, then said, "Get some rest...... I'll come back tomorrow morning and bring you some medicine. ”
She stood up and tried to walk out of the room, but in just a few steps, the level 8 professional stumbled and almost fell.
She pulled her hair in embarrassment and hurriedly opened the door to leave.
Lu En didn't say anything, and watched her walk out of the room.
Then, the Demon King let out a long sigh: "That's ...... The matter is settled, right? ”
——————
The street was dark, it was midnight, the stars and the moon were dark, and the homeless man on the corner of the street was tightly wrapped in his only blanket in the cold wind of early spring, but it was useless, he still shivered with cold, and his teeth chattered incessantly.
At this time, the homeless man suddenly saw a woman, a woman who was wandering alone on a street corner in the middle of the night.
"Surely not a good man......" he muttered, curled up in a ball, and stopped looking at the woman.
After all, the women who are still walking on the streets at night are either prostitutes or women who have been kicked out of their homes, and at best they are adventurers whose private lives are chaotic.
Livia didn't care about anything else, she walked down the street, barely on her feet.
The current female knight is full of that sentence in her head-
"You didn't kill me in the first place."
"Not me."
"It's not me who killed."
Her father's expression, tone, and scene as he spoke swirled infinitely in her mind, and the intense heat spread rapidly in her veins.
The one who killed himself was the usurper, and as Kara said, he was the usurper, not the real king.
It's all worth it! What Carla said is true!
The burden on the body, those damn heaviness and shame seem to have been washed away, all the sacrifices are worth it, the death of the monster, the destruction of the Demon King City, everything is worth it!
"Uh......h It wasn't him who died, it was, the usurper, he didn't die...... Great, great! I couldn't help but muttering to myself, squeezing a choked sound out of my throat, tears blurring my eyes.
She could barely stand on her feet, stepped into the air, fell to the ground, and then quickly got up again, crying and laughing like a madman.
Stumbling all the way, she wandered aimlessly from the city to the suburbs, and at this time, she suddenly saw a glimmer of light in the darkness ahead.
It's the monster hybrid.
I don't know what to think, she couldn't help but step towards that place and run.
You can see that there is a lot of smoke coming out of it, and the glow of the furnace is blazing, and there is no need for a lamp around, because the darkness is illuminated by these furnaces.
A lot of monster hybrids are working in the dark, and this is the suggestion of the kind gentleman, which can be divided into three shifts, morning to noon afternoon, afternoon to late night, late night to morning, so that everyone has time to rest, and the furnace does not stop.
Compared with the previous day and night work, this level of work can be called conscience, and the wages are more than before, so they all work very hard.
There are also some monster hybrids who don't work, partly because they are idle, most of them are former prostitutes, and they can't carry that kind of hand, but at this moment, they all have something to do, and that is to take care of the wounded.
Some of them were injured because they were resting, or because they were working hard, after all, the furnace was still dangerous, and although Luen's improved blast furnace had added a lot of safety measures, there were always injured people.
But these injured people are well cared for, those prostitutes used to be idle, but after having the injured, under the persuasion of Bai and others, they all took their wages and began to work as temporary nurses, after all, they always eat and wait for death, they are also a little embarrassed, but let them go to work, and reluctantly, this easy and paid work makes many prostitutes no longer idle.
This is also Lu En's arrangement, he has written it to Bai, so that this little girl will be the head of the temporary here, these are all things he has thought about a long time ago.
"Everyone! Time to eat! The voice of an energetic little girl rang out.
Livia could see a little white-haired girl and a human man about thirty years old, rushing here in a carriage with food and drink.
The working monsters, the injured monsters, and the resting monsters all ate and drank in the middle of the night, and they didn't look like they were waiting to die, but they had a feeling of rekindling hope for life.
Livia looked at those, of course she knew that it was Lu En's doing, because he was the king of monsters.
Yes, it's a demon king, not a usurper.
"He's not...... Usurper. She fell to her knees with tears streaming down her face.
"He's real, he's real!"
Her voice was like crying, like hope, but more of it was guilt and remorse, and such emotions overwhelmed her, and countless emotions poured out from her heart, which was the blood of her compatriots...... It was the sins of his own homeland!
At this time, Bai suddenly heard what seemed to be a voice outside the camp, and the little girl cautiously rushed over to take a look, but found a human being there, crying very sadly.
"Which ...... Who are you? What are you doing here? Bai was a little wary.
Who knows, but the man suddenly hugged her.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! She couldn't stop apologizing, helplessly stroking her white hair, which was the most obvious monster characteristic of her.
"Huh?" Bai looked confused.
This is...... What's going on?
