Chapter 19: The Trap
Time flies.
Since Lu Yu's last battle, Lu Yu has been bedridden at home for a month.
On the day Lu Yu woke up, Lu Yu saw the red copper with an iron face all over his face, and in the roar of the red copper, Lu Yu also agreed to the condition that the red copper would no longer go to the gladiatorial arena to participate in the battle. For Lu Yu, going to the gladiatorial arena was entirely because of the mission. And seeing how angry the old dwarf was, Lu Yu of course agreed to the old dwarf's conditions.
After the old dwarf repeatedly confirmed that Lu Yu was not perfunctory to him, the old dwarf left satisfied. Before leaving, he also ordered Lu Yu to recuperate from his injuries in bed, and the blacksmith shop could operate as usual without Lu Yu.
And as the old dwarf left, a bear came out of the door again. Oh no, it's Roger.
"Lu, how are you hurting, you have been in a coma for five days."
"What, I've been in a coma for five days."
Hearing Roger say that he had been in a coma for five days, Lu Yu could only smile bitterly again.
"By the way, Lu, was the sword technique you sent out at the end of the gladiatorial fight before?"
"Yes, Roger, do you see that! But it's been released, but I'm also going to recuperate for a while, and forcibly releasing my fighting spirit has caused great damage to my body. ”
"Lu, what an incredible thing it is that you actually released the fighting qi that only a fifth-order sword technique can only be found when you were a second-order! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have told him that I would have known what was going to happen to him. You must know that the use of sword skills at the beginning of the leap is going to kill people, Lu, you only need to rest for a while. Lu, what is the structure of your body! Could it be the body of a cockroach? ”
Roger was still shocked at first, and then it was as if he was complaining.
When Lu Yu heard Roger's words, the corners of his eyes began to twitch. He kept roaring in his heart.
"You're a cockroach, your whole family is cockroaches. No matter how strange my body structure is, it is strange to you, a person was stabbed in the abdomen with a penetrating wound and thrown in the pile of corpses for six or seven hours, and he is not dead, are you a cockroach! Can I compare my body structure to you? Are you meowing and meowing? But are there cockroaches in the other world? It is worthy of being a species with super vitality, and there are even other worlds, have you also crossed over! ”
Although Lu Yu kept complaining in his heart. But Lu Yu still said to Roger.
"I don't know what my body structure is, but I think I'm still a human being, and your body structure, I personally don't think it belongs to the scope of human beings."
After Lu Yu saw the two of them that day. The two of them were also completely relieved.
Lu Yu also recuperated from his injuries in bed. And in the days of recuperating in bed, Lu Yu did not waste it in vain, Lu Yu asked Roger to go to the library to borrow a lot of books, and read a lot of books in bed every day.
And the money borrowed from the library also made Lu Yu feel a pain in his flesh. Although movable type printing was introduced from the Great Qin Empire, it is clear that books were still valuable items in this country.
The library's library card actually cost a full ten gold coins, but Lu Yu almost couldn't handle the library card, and in the end, it was the red copper that got the library card. Not to mention the price of borrowing books, not only the deposit, but also the rent. And all this money is calculated in gold coins. In just one month, Lu Yu had already spent at least fifty gold coins.
Fifty gold coins are at least 500,000 in modern times, and you can buy a container of books, but you can only read more than sixty books in the other world.
And when he kept reading books, the system was also constantly collecting the knowledge in the books, and from this knowledge, Lu Yu also collected a lot of useful data to supplement the book library.
And with the passage of a month of Lu Yu's cultivation in bed. Lu Yu can also get out of bed and walk around.
When Lu Yu could get out of bed and walk around, Lu Yu could do more.
And at the moment, there is also one thing that Lu Yu wants to do the most, because Lu Yu can't get out of bed before and can't do it, now that Lu Yu can finally get out of bed, he naturally has to handle it immediately.
Lu Yu first found Roger, and then went to the red copper with Roger to ask for leave.
After Chi Tong repeatedly confirmed to Lu Yu that he was not going to participate in the gladiatorial fight, Lu Yu also explained to Chi Tong the fact that his body could not use his fighting qi in a short period of time. Red Copper also readily agreed to the fake of the two.
As the two left, Copper grabbed Roger as well. Tell Roger not to let Lu Yu agree to any commissions to participate in gladiatorial fights again. If he knew that Lu Yu had agreed to the gladiatorial fight, he would have dismantled Roger's bones.
Hearing the words of the red copper, Roger could only hurriedly agree.
With the two of them went to the gladiatorial arena first. Of course, it's not that Lu Yu wants to go to the gladiatorial arena to fight again, and it's not that Lu Yu wants to watch gladiatorial fights. It was all information that Lu Yu needed to do, and it could only be obtained in the gladiatorial arena.
When the two arrived at the Colosseum, they quickly found York.
York was obviously very happy when he saw Lu Yu, and after knowing that Lu Yu was injured in the previous battle, he was also very worried about Lu Yu.
In the conversation between Lu Yu and York, Lu Yu also knew the information he wanted to know.
Lu Yu and Roger then walked to the slums in the city.
Lu Yu, the slum of Riverflow City, also came for the first time.
This place is different from the rest of Riverflow, where the rest of the city is made of stone as a building material.
The houses in the slums are low, dilapidated houses, mostly made of wood and rubble, and many are just a single house with a few sticks and a single plank as a roof. As soon as the wind blows, many houses seem to collapse at any moment.
When Lu Yu arrived in the slums, a foul smell came to his face. When the two of them entered completely, Lu Yu found that the slum was full of traces of people defecating and defecating everywhere, and one would accidentally step on it. From time to time, one or two rats passed by Lu Yu's feet, these rats were not afraid of living people at all, and even dared to look at Lu Yu fiercely, and Lu Yu probably knew that these rats might have eaten human flesh. And mosquitoes are flying all over the sky. The buzzing in my ears hasn't stopped since I came in.
As the two of them continued to march this. And Lu Yu also saw the people in the dilapidated houses. It's better to say that it's a monster who thinks about people than to say that it's human. Most of the people who live in the slums are skinny and have hollow eyes, and when they see a stranger appear, they look at them like prey. And a small number of strong people, their eyes were full of fierceness, when they saw Lu Yu, although they wanted to attack, but after seeing Roger's threatening eyes, they hurriedly looked away. As for why they are so strong in the slums, it is because they survive by constantly looting those who are skinny.
There are many people in the slums who don't even have all the clothes on, and many people know that their clothes are picked up at a glance, either they are outrageous or forced to wear them. And every now and then, one or two naked people will appear in it. Many of them are women. And they obviously have no sense of shame, some just look numb.
When the two of them kept walking, sometimes they might find one or two corpses in the ditch on the side, and they would also meet people who were throwing corpses, although Lu Yu and Roger were on the side, but as if there was no one on the side, they threw down the corpses by themselves, turned around and left, as if they were just throwing a bag of garbage.
Lu Yu and Roger are constantly interspersed in the slums.
Eventually, the two of them reached the door of a house in the slum, which was dilapidated, but at least entirely made of stone.
As the two arrived at the door of the house, Lu Yu stepped forward to knock on the door.
But Roger immediately grabbed Lu Yu's hand and said.
"Lu, be careful, this is in the slums, and you need to know what kind of occupation we are going to find people? Rushing up and knocking on the door starts to pay a terrible price. ”
Hearing Roger's words, Lu Yu hurriedly held his hand.
"So what should we do?"
"Look at me. You stand aside. ”
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Roger picked up the long sword he was carrying, and then asked Lu Yu to step aside. Then he pushed the gate with his sword.
And the door of the house is clearly not buckled. After Roger saw that the door of the house was not locked, he became more careful in his movements, and slowly pushed the door open little by little with his long sword.
And just when he pushed open the door and pushed the door out of the door where a person could enter sideways. Roger quickly withdrew his hand. Lu Yu saw Roger stop his hand, and asked Roger curiously.
"Roger, why did you stop?"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Roger said.
"Lu, look here!"
Hearing Roger's words, Lu Yu looked at the door axis pointed out by Roger.
As Lu Yu's eyes looked at the door shaft, Lu Yu found that there was a small wooden stick sandwiched between the door shaft, and this wooden stick was obviously open as long as the door was larger, and there was a thin silk thread from the wooden stick. There was a mechanism on the door. I thought about it before I pushed open the door and entered the room. Lu Yu broke out in a cold sweat all of a sudden. Sure enough, he was new to the rivers and lakes, and he didn't know anything, if it weren't for a veteran by his side, he would have died.
After seeing Lu Yu see the mechanism at the door axis, Roger also began to deal with the mechanism.
When Roger finished dealing with the mechanism, Roger still did not push open the door, but continued to use the long sword to continue to push the door open little by little, with the continuous opening of the door, Roger found a mechanism again, after discovering the mechanism, Roger pointed out to Lu Yu again.
In the end, Roger completely opened the gate, and there were four mechanisms on the gate, thinking that there were only four mechanisms at one gate, Lu Yu's sweat suddenly increased. Thinking of his previous recklessness, Lu Yu swore that since he had arrived in this new world, he would have to be careful, and he would not be as reckless as before.
When entering the door, Roger also dismantled the mechanism inside the door, and when he saw the mechanism inside the door, Lu Yu broke out in a cold sweat again. Because among the four traps, there are actually three machine crossbows, and the last trap is composed of magic traps. And there is also a layer of green liquid on top of the crossbow arrows of the machine crossbow, which can be seen as poison at a glance.
When he saw that there were so many traps at a gate, Lu Yuzai didn't dare to walk in front. Let Roger walk in front of him, he has little experience, or don't die.
As the two of them continued to advance, three more traps were removed on the five-meter-long road from the gate to the bedroom. Seeing this, Lu Yu was completely convinced.
"Is this the Demon King's lair? What are so many traps used for! Catch mice? Isn't the owner of this house afraid that he will accidentally get killed by his own trap when he goes out by himself? Aren't you tired of bypassing so many traps every time you go home? ”
With Lu Yu's complaint, the two also came to the bedroom door.
Roger once again removed three traps from the bedroom door, and one of them was a camouflage trap, fortunately Roger was experienced enough to ask others to really get caught in the way. As for what a camouflage trap is, it looks like it is the trigger of the trap, but if you dismantle it, it will immediately activate the trap, unlike ordinary traps, which will not trigger the trap if the trigger device is removed.
After Roger had completely removed the trap from the bedroom door, the two of them made their way to the bedroom.
When the two of them entered the bedroom.
And when the two of them entered the bedroom, a black shadow flashed in the dark place in the corner of the bedroom, and there was a trace of reflection in the hand of this black shadow, and at a glance, he knew that he was holding a murder weapon in his hand, and the target of that black shadow was Lu Yu.
