Chapter 497: Everything is under control
Considering that Katie is constantly talking about vulgar and redneck words, and she doesn't know the details of Luvica's background and takes the initiative to provoke, and the possibility of being killed in an instant is definitely not small, so Lucario's consideration is definitely not just groundless, but a real possibility.
"I remember you said that it would take half a day to get from the village to the stone chamber where the Legacy Weapon is located, and even if this can be solved with flying magic, the most troublesome thing is the queue after that." I did a simple calculation in my mind, and it would take two to three hours to go back and forth on the safest trip, and Katie had been knocked unconscious for quite some time, and I wasn't sure she wouldn't wake up during the time Lucario and I were away.
From Lucario's point of view, he had to make sure that Katie survived in order to receive a high pay, so leaving Katie and Luvica in the same room like this was definitely the worst decision.
"Katie will be in trouble if she wakes up during this time." I put what I thought into words.
I didn't know that I was just talking to myself, and Lucario, who thought I was consulting him, nodded his head and took over the topic: "I also considered this part just now, in order to ensure that Katie doesn't wake up halfway, I have prepared a little sleeping potion in my hand, which is colorless and odorless, as long as it is mixed in drinking water and waits for Katie to get up and trick her into drinking, we can get at least six hours of space, and it is more than enough to go back and forth to the stone chamber where the weapon is located."
"You have sleeping potions with you?" I tilted the corners of my mouth and looked at Lucario in dismay.
"Just in case." Lucario shrugged his shoulders, as if to see through the evil thoughts in my heart, and added, "First of all, I personally believe in the principle of rolling the sheets is that you are willing to do it, such as stunning the target and then hardening it, which is contrary to the aesthetics of the brave. I wouldn't do it anyway, and I would only carry sleeping pills with me for fear of a certain situation, such as when I have to take a specific person away from a dangerous situation and the other person is unwilling to cooperate."
"Cut." I was unabashedly staggered.
"Ahh Lucario digressed slightly. "In fact, rather than for insomnia, sleeping potions were often used by nobles to coma and then strip them and film them with a camera device, which was used to coerce the target into complying."
"You know that."
"Take the imperial capital of the country of the brave as an example, every raid will find a large number of indecent camera content from the hands of the nobles, of course, the assault force can't actually punish the nobles, at most they just destroy the record stone of the camera." Lucario waved his hand, a wicked expression on his face: "Basically, the oppression of ordinary people by the nobles will happen anywhere, and all the brave can do is to punish them with righteousness. If there is no actual heinous evidence of the crime, the average brave man is not allowed to kill a nobleman, and even if I have the name of a legendary descendant of a brave man, I have to weigh the consequences before doing so."
With a mocking tone in my tone, I shook my head from side to side: "This kind of thing really only exists in books."
"No, you're wrong again." Lucario didn't care about my sarcasm, and laughed out loud, "Nobles who can do such things are not good people, and the price of camera equipment and recording stones is not low, except for the situation where someone in the family is in a high position or a descendant is an elite. If you want to use such a high luxury and maintain the high daily expenses of the past, it is clear that there will be no clean behind it. You only need to follow the suspicious traces, and the detailed incriminating evidence collected will be enough to deal with the upper echelons."
"Ordinary soldiers can't deal with the nobles, the only thing they can do is to destroy their record stones, and then spread the news, so that the brave who get the news will take the initiative to come to the door and punish people." I followed this logic and said, "That is to say, the nobles who are targeted by you will not escape death nine times out of ten."
"That's pretty much it." Lucario bared his white teeth. But what came out of his mouth was something that didn't match his sunny appearance: "If there are no other problems, I'll go and arrange the sleeping pills in advance."
"Don't bother, I have a better way here than to use sleeping pills." I reached out to stop Lucario and wiped the tip of my nose with my thumb, "It's time to show off your true skills."
"Leave aside the human being. Katie is a very powerful magician, and her magic resistance is by no means comparable to ordinary people, and if Xu Mo wants to use magic such as the Sleep Charm, the effect is probably quite limited." I'm afraid I don't know the details, Lucario nodded beside him.
"Don't worry, it doesn't use magic." Rubbing my hands together and giving Lucario a reassuring look, I walked from outside the warehouse to Katie, who was sleeping soundly indoors, and summoned a balloon of non-lethal water that I smashed in Katie's face.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Katie, choked on the water, let out a series of rapid coughs, but she didn't have time to open her eyes to look around before she could wake up, and a heavy blow followed......
After a muffled thud, I threw the stick I had made with the law in my hand, checked Katie, who was tilting her head and sticking her tongue out of her mouth, and then nodded her head in satisfaction after confirming that she was completely unconscious: "Very good, so the coma time will be reset."
Lucario, who had witnessed everything from outside, smiled a little twitchingly, "This is what you call the solution, to wake people up and knock them out again?"
"Yes, despite the simplicity of the whole project, there is no denying that it works." I snapped my fingers, and this action drew a sideways glance from Luvika, but in the end she didn't say anything, and her head was quickly lowered again, and she didn't have the slightest idea about Katie being woken up and knocked unconscious.
"I was knocked unconscious twice in a short period of time, and even if I didn't actually witness the appearance of the prisoner, it must be very troublesome to deal with the aftermath." Lucario sighed deeply, fretting about how to explain it to Katie after that.
"Don't worry, I've got a script for that." I raised my eyebrows proudly and said, "It's not too difficult to bluff the past, according to Katie's adoration of you, even if it is said that a thief suddenly made a move, and we finally found the other party and rescued her from the thief, we will definitely believe it, don't worry, everything is under control."
"Hearing you say that, I feel even more uneasy." (To be continued......)
