Although he had been mentally prepared for Magma's attitude, Chu Ge was still a little surprised when he saw the content of the reply sent by the other party.

The other party's reply was only three words:

"Whatever you want."

Below the reply, there is also a sent thing:

【Black Cranberry】

[Item Rarity: Silver]

[Weight: 150g]

【Origin: Savor Heath】

[Status: Normal]

[Note: Precious ingredients in the eyes of local natives are often used in festivals and sacrifices, and are favored by potions masters in developed areas.] 】

It didn't take more than three minutes between the time I asked for help and the time this reply was sent.

Not only was he amazed at the efficiency of the other party's work, but more importantly, Magma actually sent things directly without any collateral.

Through the understanding in the previous exchanges, Chu Ge deduced that Magma was at least a second-order player, and since he could mix well in Orlanca, then he would definitely not be an innocent guy, at least the most basic vigilance would definitely not be less.

Thinking of this, the corners of Chu Ge's mouth hooked up a trace of arc, and nodded slightly:

"Is it to repay the favor from before? Or do I already have their trust? ”

"In any case, this kind of energy is commendable, and since that is the case, I will accept it unceremoniously."

Two hundred coins may not be a particularly large amount of general gold, but for ordinary second-order players, unless they want to buy or forge some high-level equipment, the amount of general gold coins kept on their bodies is generally not more than 500, and for those who are not rich in money, the amount of 200 can almost be regarded as a full net worth.

For example, Harvey, who was killed by the Alien Beast before, only has more than 100 universal gold coins on his body, although a single example cannot absolutely prove anything, but it can also explain part of the true situation.

Of course, Magma's behavior also provided another signal for Chu Ge, that is, the other party's pockets seemed to be very rich, even if he broke his word and became fat, those losses would not hurt them.

******

After a day of recuperation from the dull college life, the sun finally shone from the other side of the Alps.

It is worth mentioning that when Chu Ge left the old mansion last night, he took out all the Karakuri puppet fragments in the storage space, one of the puppet cores was automatically burned the moment he took it out, and the remaining two were still intact, and a few key structural parts also self-destructed, but in general, most of the fragments were retained.

On the way out of Nibelheim Village, Chu Ge had already adjusted his mood very well, and chatted with the old coachman from time to time.

"By the way, did anything important happen to Midgar the other day?"

Recalling the task of Lei Zhen and his party, Chu Ge inquired about the old coachman.

The old coachman waved his whip lightly, and replied casually:

"A few days ago? The important thing? I haven't heard of it. ”

"So did anything strange happen?" Chu Ge continued to ask.

The old coachman frowned and recalled for a moment, and said:

"There are so many strange things, and every day I hear a lot of rumors from passengers...... By the way, speaking of which, there is really one thing that is important! ”

"What?"

"Just three days ago on the night, there was an attack in the City Lord's Mansion, and the strange thing is that there were no casualties among the people in the City Lord's Mansion, but a guest who came to visit the City Lord's Mansion was seriously injured and died on the spot."

"What's even more bizarre is that with the defensive strength of the City Lord's Mansion, all those attackers escaped, and none of them were left, and even the identity of the attackers was not discovered, don't you say it's strange."

"I even suspect that the attack was directed and staged by the City Lord's Mansion itself, and the purpose was to kill the visitor as a victim."

After finishing speaking, the old coachman sighed meaningfully, as if he had guessed eight or nine without leaving ten.

When the old coachman mentioned the visitors to the City Lord's Mansion, Chu Ge's first reaction was Alyssa, but this idea was immediately ruled out by him, at that time, Alyssa had already been arranged in the manor, and that visitor should be someone else.

"With the strength of the City Lord's Mansion guards, they haven't been able to retain the attackers? It's really strange, so who is the unlucky guy who was killed? Chu Ge nodded in agreement and continued to ask.

The old coachman's expression immediately became mysterious, and he said with a smile:

"You can ask the right question to the right person, let me tell you, that visitor is not from our Alcaya Empire, not even a race, he is a green-skinned goblin of the Hutton Federation, and his status does not seem to be low!"

"Hutton Federation? Goblins? Are you sure? Chu Ge's eyes immediately widened, and he looked incredulous.

Although there was a certain pandering factor to this expression, he was indeed a little surprised.

The old coachman enjoyed the satisfaction of revealing the secret information, nodded pretending to be profound, and continued:

"Of course it's certain, and the goblin's personal relationship with the city lord is not bad, this is the third time he's been to Midgard, have you seen those magic trains? That's what the lord and the goblin built together! ”

"It is said that even in the Hutton Federation, the identity of that goblin is quite famous, and this time it died in Midgar, which can also thwart the spirit of those alien races!" Speaking of this, the old coachman's eyebrows fluttered, quite a bit of the meaning of the sword alien race to raise the prestige of our country.

And Chu Ge's expression became more and more strange the more he listened, how could this kind of news be known to an ordinary coachman, and there were still very conspicuous loopholes in this news:

"It's good to have a personal relationship with the lord of the city? Then why do you still guess that killing that goblin meant the City Lord's Mansion? ”

"Uh, this, this ......"

The old coachman's expression was stunned for a moment, as if he had not thought about this at all.

Chu Ge's eyes narrowed, and he had already guessed in his heart, and said:

"Hey, I say, don't all the coachmen, no, almost all the citizens of Midgar know about it."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The old coachman's expression immediately changed from sluggishness to embarrassment, because he had learned that Chu Ge had come to Midgar for the first time, so he had to brag about these well-known news from passers-by, but he didn't expect to be recognized by the other party, and then he pulled away from the topic.

Although these news are all rumors, they do have a certain value for Chu Ge.

There is no doubt that this information was deliberately revealed by an organization, and although it is uncertain which side is responsible, there are already faint signs of turmoil in the situation in Midgar.

Civilians are all ignorant and easily instigated, even a rumor with obvious loopholes will be spread by them, to be honest, it is difficult for Chu Ge to say which side is really beneficial to this situation at the moment.

Whether it is from the position of the Alkaya conservatives or from the position of the Hutton federal conspirators, this situation is what they want to see, and the old coachman's speculation just now is not completely impossible.

By the time we drove back to Midgarh, it was past noon.

The Kirk Inn is located near Eddie's house, and because he is not familiar with the specific situation of Midgar, Chu Ge can only make an appointment with Lei Zhen to meet here.

Lei Zhen should have greeted the innkeeper in advance, and when Chu Ge said their names, the boss touched his chin and pointed to the innermost room upstairs, and threw an ambiguous look at Chu Ge by the way.

"It's me, Ino."

Chu Ge knocked lightly on the wooden door a few times, and there was a rush of footsteps in the room.

After opening the lock and seeing that Chu Ge was safe and sound, Lei Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Thankfully, you're back safely."

Chu Ge glanced at Lei Zhen, who was depressed, and said:

"Without further ado, I'll start helping Ye Ye unlock the rune lock now."

“…… Thank you. ”

After more than two hours, the last part of the rune lock on Yeye's body was also disintegrated.

"Whew, I'm tired."

Chu Ge twisted his neck, although he stopped to rest several times in the process, he still wanted to get a good night's sleep after it was over.

"Completely! Completely gone! ”

Ye Ye Ye had already shouted out with ecstasy, and suddenly pounced on Lei Zhen, crying with joy, Lei Zhen also tried his best to hold back the heat in the corners of his eyes, just smiled and said:

"yes, gone...... That's great. ”

After a long time, the two of them calmed down a little from their excitement, and looked at Chu Ge and didn't know what to say.

"All in all, thank you! If there's anything we can do to help, we'll do our best! ”

Lei Zhen looked at Chu Ge with a sincere expression, as if he wanted to do something to repay the other party.

Chu Ge shook his head and asked rhetorically:

"What are you going to do next? Do you want to find a place to live in seclusion, as you decided before? ”

Very rarely, Lei Zhen's face showed hesitation, without the firmness and expectation of the last time, but he still hesitated and said:

"yes, that's the ......?"

Seeing the other party's appearance, Chu Ge laughed instead, and said:

"You've probably thought about my doubts, but it seems like you're in a bigger hole."

[Really, is it enough to be happy alone? 】

To others, this kind of question is simply funny, but for Lei Zhen, a kind man, for him who has worked in Barka for a long time, it is a difficult question to ask the heart.

Lei Zhen was silent.

Chu Ge continued: "I can guess some of the reasons why you want to leave Barka, but even if you don't do something, someone else will do it, won't it?" ”

Lei Zhen nodded, if it weren't for the night, he wouldn't want to accept that kind of task at all, even if his part was much "cleaner" than his colleagues, he was disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

"Although your boss is very nice to you, you really don't know what Barka is in essence, and whether his actions are right or wrong? If it weren't for the night, you'd have fled on your first mission! ”

"It's hell, the source of evil and evil!"

While most of the councillors in the Hutton Federation are peace-provoking, the Barka Institute, dominated by Terrans and goblins, is a different story! Even if most of those sins are now hidden in the shadows, the day it will break out, it will definitely shock everyone!

Of the four puppeteers who arrived in Midgar this time, the other two guys, except for Rezhen and Magnus, were all scum who did nothing evil and often caused unjustified killings, and among the official members of the Executive Department, such guys were not a few.

It is only in a place like Barka that can control this kind of "talent".

The rulers of Barka were a hundred times more clever than the nobles of the empire when it came to the use of the tools in their hands, and knew how to get the most out of them.

For example, Lei Zhen will not blindly squeeze and demand it, nor will they carry out excessive coercion, but relax to improve the utilization rate while extending its service life as much as possible. There are other management measures for other tools.

Adhering to this theory, Balka's strength will naturally grow day by day, and ambition will also grow, of course, compared to those tools that behave badly, the actions of Balka's ruling class are not much better.

"Now, with your freedom and strength, you want to fly away with your own happiness and gain happiness by night, which is a beautiful wish, but does the sense of justice in your heart really allow you to do this? Is it really possible to selfishly possess happiness like this? ”

Lei Zhen's expression was a little struggling, he raised his head, looked at Chu Ge with burning eyes, and asked:

"Am I wrong?"

Chu Ge sighed and didn't deny it, but said:

"I said, it's a good wish, a good wish that everyone wants to fulfill."

"But ignoring what Barka has done, ignoring the calamities that you can prevent, can you really accept the happiness you have attained?"

After hearing these words, Lei Zhen was a little irritable, of course he thought about this, but so what? What could he have done? If he could stop it, he would definitely not have waited until now with his character!

"Yes! I can't accept it! But what if you can't accept it, it makes no sense to send you to death?! Or do you want to be like you......"

Before the scolding was over, Lei Zhen realized his gaffe, sat back on the bed with a wry smile, and said,

"I'm sorry, I got a little lost."

When was the last time you experienced this infuriating feeling of powerlessness?

Chu Ge didn't care, but continued:

"If you can't accept it, then resist, instead of escaping the vortex by yourself, it is better to use your talents to climb up and gain the power to stop the war! When you become one of those in control, you will naturally have the power to change these! ”

After hearing this proposal, a trace of expectation flashed in Lei Zhen's eyes, but it instantly turned into a more intense bitterness:

"No kidding, do I have the qualifications?"

"Yes! You must have it, don't underestimate your partner! Her power, even Barka, would not dare to ignore it casually! ”

Seeing that Lei Zhen had been moved, Chu Ge struck while the iron was hot and continued,

"The more important point, and one point you have to face, is the essence of the night, although she looks exactly like an ordinary girl now, she is still a forbidden doll, and in the Balya Academy, there is a hidden way to transform her into a real human!"
