Chapter 259: Grapevine
Fade and the others walked away in a gloomy manner, without even saying a word of cruelty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Boya and others are not surprised. After all, Lord Helbu was able to prove that the Cloth Pawn was not a target that ordinary professionals could kill in a group. One of the only two heirs to the title, Lord Helbu, who dares not believe it.
But Lan Wu felt that this matter did not seem to be so simple.
There was a lot of commotion from Farde and others. In addition, Boya's residence is only three blocks away from the market. Human beings are inherently curious in their genes. So there has never been a shortage of people in the world who eat melons. There was such a big commotion here, he believed that it had already spread to most of the demon fortresses.
If you carefully calculate it, it has been more than a week since Helb returned to the Demon Fortress. No matter how busy things are, I have already made an appointment with him to wait in the demon fortress, so it is impossible to go out suddenly. Something so big and not small happened in the Demon Fortress, could he still be as unheard of as a seclusion?
Lan Wu suppressed this little doubt in his heart, and did not discuss it with Boya and the others. After all, he is one of the only two title inheritors in the Demon Fortress, and he may be really busy, discussing with the archangel Tyrell about the mutation of the clothes.
This seems to be the end of the matter. But the people who eat melons didn't let this matter pass like this. Over the years, under the perfection of generations of professional predecessors, although the Demon Fortress has no fixed laws, it has spontaneously formed many conventional unspoken rules. Among them, the exclusive appropriation of the spoils of war completed by everyone's cooperation is second only to the crime of malicious murder and wealth.
Although the people who eat melons are not personal experience, everyone is not stupid. Just from the fact that Fa and Germany and others have died down, we know that this incident is nothing more than a farce...... No, it's a serious incident.
Blackmail.
This is also a small crime in the fortress of demons. Outside the fortress, no one wants to be blackmailed. No one wants to be forced to hand over the equipment and gold coins they have exchanged for their lives. For a while, everyone in the Demon Fortress was furious, looking everywhere for Fade and others who had come to blackmail Lan Wu. However, Fade and the others obviously realized that they had found the wrong target of blackmail, and they had already fled, waiting for time to heal the turmoil and then return to the demon fortress.
But they underestimated the perseverance of the melon-eating masses. None of the people who have survived in the Demon Fortress so far are good at it. Of course, we may have to exclude Boya. Someone who is blackmailed by a group of fraudsters today may have his turn tomorrow. Is it tolerable or intolerable? If you don't understand this matter, how can you feel at ease in the Demon Fortress? It may even nurture a group of villains who specialize in joining forces to blackmail others. The relatively stable atmosphere of the Demon Fortress in the past is bound to be fatally affected.
The anger of the people who eat melons naturally inevitably reached the ears of Lan Wu and others. Boya was sad. The first person to be condemned by others was his sworn friend Fade and others, who played since he was a child, but eventually parted ways due to disagreements.
In this regard, Lan Wu didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to keep his mouth shut about this turmoil and honestly recuperate from his injuries. After half a week of recuperation, he recovered from his injuries smoothly and was able to pick up knives, forks and other objects simply. It's just that I haven't been able to use much force yet. While recuperating and healing, he felt more and more weird.
Half a week after the incident, Helb still seemed to be missing, and there was no one to be seen. Even the melon-eating crowd that swept through most of the Demon Fortress failed to find him, and even the other successor to the title seemed to have disappeared at the same time, and did not stand up to lead the Demon Fortress to clean up the internal filth.
Gradually, the direction of public opinion in the fortress of demons gradually changed. Former relatives and friends of Fade and others did not dare to speak for them before, lest they would be labeled as one of the fraudsters by the angry melon-eating crowd. Now a few days have passed, and Helb has not come forward to confirm it, and these people immediately began to be active, openly washing the floor for Fade and others.
For a while, gossip arose.
The people who eat melons are willing to stop there. After all, it is a matter of self-interest, and if we do not forcibly stifle this unhealthy trend, how can we rest assured. Maybe the next victim will be their turn. So there was chaos in the demon fortress. The two sides are arguing, and the situation is gradually becoming blurred.
Knowing that there were still people washing the floor for Fade and the others, Lan Wu shook his head and smiled bitterly. His most powerful witness was Helb. But this old guy didn't know where he went, so he didn't stand up to prove it. Apart from this powerful witness, there is no evidence that Eater and his servants were not killed by Fad and others.
As the days passed, Helb and even Jamela, the heir to another title, were not in sight. As a result, the floor washers of Fade and others were in great spirits, and they spared no effort to make noise that Fade and others were secretly threatened by Lan Wu, so they had to choose to swallow their anger and forcibly act against Fade and others.
As the saying goes, a lie is repeated a thousand times and becomes the truth.
Over time, most people have forgotten the scene when Fade and others came to blackmail Lan Wu. Misled by these public opinions, some people chose to wait and see, while others changed their stance and began to respond to the Cleansing Party, holding grievances for France and Germany. In less than a week, the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and the number of supporters who believe in the blackmail of Franco-German and others is less than a quarter of what it used to be.
The reversal of public opinion once again pushed Lan Wu to the forefront. Every day, many floor washing parties came to harass them, and all kinds of foul language were smashed at Lan Wu, who was recuperating and healing inside, and even affected Boya and others.
"I'll go out and talk to them about it!" Boya looked indignant.
"It's useless." Vina rolled her eyelids and curled up on the couch spitting bubbles: "They were all completely misled into believing that what those despicable fellows of Fade and Germany were saying was the truth. Do you go out and theorize with them? Unless you can split their heads and see if there's any brains inside. ”
"But just let them slander Lan Wu like that?" Boya regretted it very much. He shouldn't have chosen to let Lan Wu remind those despicable guys in the first place. This kind of filthy and despicable guy, let him die.
"Don't worry about me." Lan Wu smiled nonchalantly, carefully moving his almost healed arms. This shift in public opinion has been seen a lot on Earth as early as possible. The people who eat melons are the people who eat melons, and it is normal for the position to be not firm. Once there is ironclad evidence, public opinion will be one-sided. He has long been accustomed to it, how can he ask for trouble for such a trivial matter.
"In two days my hands will be healed. I'll talk to Master Helb then. Lan Wu moved his somewhat stiff shoulders and said with a smile: "If he still refuses to appear, then I'll leave the Demon Fortress." ”
"How can that be!" Boya was indignant and denied it.
Lan Wu shrugged his shoulders and smiled without saying a word. This turmoil is not a big deal for him. Since so many people in the Demon Fortress chose to believe in Fade and the others, let them go. It's a big deal to buy a batch of equipment and go back to Camp Rog. After all, the portal to Harogas is in the hands of the archangel Tyrell. If you can't find Tyrell, you won't be able to go to Harlogas.
There was a bang, and the door was slammed open. Lan Wu and the others were taken aback, and when they looked back, it was Taylor who broke in in a hurry.
"Oh no, Lord Helb has stepped in. He denied ever seeing us. (To be continued.) )
