When he learned that Nangong Rong planned to build a settlement near the lakes, Charlotte was actually very distressed, because he knew very well what was there. Usually tourists look around and look around, rowing boats, and occasionally sleeping out for a night is not a big problem, but if you live there for a long time, no one will notice anything strange in the lake.

That's why the knight gave up his cozy mansion while enjoying all kinds of services and leisurely checking the accounts and went out of the city to check the situation of the refugees, if someone really discovered the secret of the lake, then there is no doubt that he would make the other party disappear completely - unfortunately Mira didn't know this, she thought that Charlotte was going to help the refugees, otherwise she would have been back to normal after being deeply poisoned.

In short, there is absolutely no inhabitability near the lake, Charlotte said it nicely, but in fact it was not ambiguous at all, Nangong Rong and they had just set up their tents and were ready to rest, and he had already sent someone to contact the royal family who was responsible for collecting water.

Of course, Lord Knight couldn't come forward in person in this matter, otherwise Nangong Rong would definitely guess that the former was spying on him, and then make things out of control. Therefore, Charlotte chose to entrust others, and asked his subordinates to tell them to "invite" the boy and others out instead of "driving" them out.

To put it mildly, the boy might have been able to listen to it and find another place, since he hadn't officially started construction. However, what Charlott did not expect was that his men and the centaurs in charge of collecting water were unimpressed, and how could they bow down and be polite to the Han people who lived almost at the bottom of the empire when they met some minor nobles in Ledana, who could raise their heads and talk to each other?

"Please" must be "invited" out, but how exactly should be invited, the knight doesn't seem to have a specific explanation, right?

Then, there is no then.

The bald man who is indeed a nobleman who leads the water collection team habitually uses high-pressure methods, usually these cockroaches either run away in panic or are unwilling to resist, but the final outcome can only be to have some fun for his subordinates, anyway, it must be right to do this, and it is also the most suitable to deal with Xiaoqiang;

What did the filthy worm in human skin just say, to beat himself up until he respected him? The bald man sneered in his heart and was also angered by the other party's words and attitude, is it true that the members of the royal secret army are all dirt chickens and dogs, and the muskets in their hands are just plastic toys?

"Shoot me!" the man shouted as he raised his hand and waved it forward, "Don't just kill him, break that kid's hands and feet, I'll [respect] him later." ”

The fact that several of the subordinates dressed as a retinue did not do it directly, not that they did not intend to follow orders, but simply wanted to tease their target like a cat before doing so, and then to strike mercilessly when the other party felt panic and fear, causing the other party to howl in pain in despair, as they often do.

So standing at the front row of the line, a strong man with strong muscles all over his body put on a playful expression, put the pistol on his index finger, skillfully turned in a circle, bared his teeth, and grinned: "Seriously, kid." I advise you that it is better for you to obediently kneel on the ground and respectfully admit your mistake to our master, who may be able to spare you magnanimously. Otherwise, you think you can fight the musket with that glowing toy in your hand?"

Even though Nangong Rong was angry at the moment, he couldn't help but feel speechless for a while, and he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle: "This is simple...... After navigating the Allies' dense network of firepower on the front lines of Ridana, being bombarded by enemies while losing mounts, seeing humanoid bosses who can single-handedly take on an entire trained army, and slaying a small monster that can destroy an entire city, I really didn't think I'd be scared of a few pistols. ”

The young man didn't deliberately pose to pretend to be forced, but he unconsciously showed an amazing and even terrifying momentum, so that the few people on the opposite side vaguely seemed to see a tragic battlefield no less than Shura's hell behind the young man.

Even if he didn't have much actual combat experience because he had been staying in a stable rear, the strong man knew that he couldn't let the momentum of the young man in front of him who had obviously been on the battlefield continue to climb, so he hurriedly looked left and right and greeted his colleagues with frightened faces: "Don't be in a daze, hurry up!"

After all, these people had never done anything evil in front of Nangong Rong, so the young man did not directly make a ruthless move, and several favorite tentacles suddenly stretched out from the round ball crystal, slapping all the entourages away.

Of course, if it's a shoot, tying them up won't have any benefits, but will have all kinds of spicy eyes. A teenager who has been taken by countless old drivers and driven many cars on the Internet in Lin Weiyin's hometown will definitely not do that kind of strange thing, and his target can only be all kinds of cute girls!

Ahem, it seems that something has been inadvertently exposed, and you will assume that you don't see it.

The pistol that fell to the ground was immediately crushed by the crystal tentacles, and the bald man's movement of reaching into his arms was paused.

"Remember me!" After dropping an extremely classic line, this guy chose to turn around and run without any discipline, and the speed of rolling and crawling was even worse than that of a rabbit.

Nangong Rong failed to realize the idea of punching and kicking the bald man until the other party's nose was blue and his face was swollen and tears flowed down his face to show [respect] to himself, that guy fled too fast, and several of his entourages also quickly got up and joined the escape team, and the scene looked extremely happy.

"It's a shame. The young man put on a look full of regret and sighed, "The next time you meet him, you must leave him for tea." ”

This guy was unexpectedly a little cautious. Mira, who was just looking at the side and didn't speak, slapped a hand knife on the top of the young man's head, dissipating his soaring momentum in an instant without a trace: "You're enough, you can't help but start causing trouble before this settlement is established, do you think there won't be enough trouble in the future?"

"Wouldn't it be even more troublesome if you didn't give them a little color to see why they ran recklessly every day to find trouble?" Nangong Rong put away the ball crystal and spread his hands to explain, but quickly changed the topic, "I have a doubt, did you mention that we were planning to stay here for a long time when you talked to that guy just now before I came out?"

The glasses lady shook her head very decisively: "No." I just feel that the lake water seems to be a little weird, and when I was about to collect some for testing, the right person appeared, and without saying a word, he was going to drive us away. ”

"That's weird. We're building tents, not houses, and we've been claiming along the way that we're servants who follow you, a fake aristocratic lady, out on a tour, and no matter how you look at it, the team should just be staying here temporarily, so why would those guys know that we plan to stay here for a long time?"

The system answered almost instantly: "It's very simple, because you were monitored by someone in the New Year." Maybe it's someone from the City Guard, or maybe someone from Charlot, after all, only they know what you want to do with your settlement. In addition, the key to why the other party would try to drive us away is in the lake. ”

Mila's whole person shone on the spot, and Nangong Rong could even see countless shiny little stars beside her: "Woo oh oh, is there really a problem with this lake!? Is it really as the guy just said, what special effect does this lake water have that is suitable for making tea?"

"Won't you know everything if you test it yourself?"

As soon as the blonde Lori said this, the glasses lady couldn't sit still anymore, took a test tube of water and returned to her tent in a hurry, and it was estimated that she wouldn't come out again until dinner - or, she wouldn't even show up for dinner, but let people bring the meal in?

Soon only Nangong Rong was left alone, and after confirming that no one else was disturbing, the young man walked straight to the lake and squatted down, stroking the black soil that looked very fertile but had no grass, and said softly: "Is there something wrong with me deliberately branching out of Mira?"

"Although I would love to say "Boys are too smart, sometimes it's not a good thing, especially when you receive a few girls' favors, you should pretend to be confused", but considering your actual situation, forget it. The system shook his head with a look of great pity and sympathy, "Sao Nian, you still need to work harder in this regard...... It's going to break, it's going to break, it's going to break!"

"Don't worry, Golden Retriever, your tail will grow back as quickly as a gecko's tail. ”

"I'm stupid!Besides, will your cat's tail grow back after it is broken!?" After a burst of fur violently, the blonde Lori also returned to a calm appearance as the boy took the initiative to withdraw his hand that was rubbing the surface of the screen, "Ahem." I think you should have guessed it too, most of those people just now were sent by Charlotte. ”

"Well, if it were the City Guards who had seen the power of crystal weapons, they wouldn't have sent just these few Beam-Jumping Clowns, because they wouldn't even be disgusting. Nangong Rong nodded unhurriedly, looking very indifferent, "And Charlotte didn't bring an entourage with him when he met us, although for some reason he wanted to drive us out of here, in short, he couldn't come forward in person, so he could only send his subordinates to act." The knight's subordinates didn't know about the battle near the city gates, and if he hadn't explained it carefully, it wouldn't be surprising that his subordinates would behave like that. ”

"That's the lake in front of you. Remember the few magic crystals you charged me, take them out and put them in the lake, and you'll be able to understand them right away. ”

The magic crystals that have been pumped out of the magic power stored inside will lose their bright color, and some will simply put on a gray posture of [body hollowed out], Nangong Rong originally planned to throw it away, but now that the system said this, he took it out of the tent again, held it in his hand and put it in the water.

The magic crystal first vibrated continuously in the boy's hand, and then the lost color began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, and by the time he withdrew his hand in shock, most of its color had recovered and it was completely able to be used again.

"Magic Pool!?" Nangong Rong exclaimed in disbelief as he looked at the huge lake in front of him, "Such a large scale?"

"And it's supposed to be a natural magic pool, and there are no traces of any manifies in it. Unlike the magic crystal, the magic in this lake water can be used directly without extraction, does it remind you of anything?"

The system said that this young man was not just a thriller, he felt that he might have inadvertently bumped into a secret that the empire had been hiding very deeply, and according to the established royal plot, the next unfolding would definitely be something like murder.

"I see, is it the magic spring used to create a new type of demonic beast in the propaganda?" After thinking quickly for a moment, Nangong Rong calmed down, stroked his chin and groaned, "Deliberately saying that it is a magic spring makes people mistakenly think that it is a spring with a scarce yield, but in fact it is a lake? The empire really knows how to play, no wonder no one has noticed it until now." However, it is also a good opportunity. ”

"Opportunity, what are you going to do, do you want to make something unnecessary?" the system looked at the unusually calm teenager with concern and asked, "It's not wrong to want to save your compatriots, but don't forget that the abyss is still waiting for an opportunity in this plane." If you mess up the inside of the empire, you'll only give the abyss more chances. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Rong hurriedly shook his head vigorously: "No, no, no, I don't have that kind of thought, I'm just planning to persuade Octavir to cooperate with each other." For example, if she is not willing to cooperate and wants to further suppress us, she can threaten to reveal the secret of the Demon Spring or something. ”

“...... Are you sure it's really trying to persuade the other side to cooperate amicably?"

"Just as the Empire has persuaded my people not to stand in solidarity with and support the Mountain King in Echo Canyon, I'm sure. ”

Naturally, the system didn't want to say anything more about this, so it changed the topic and talked about another very serious matter: "You can do what you like, as long as you don't do it with the eldest princess." However, if you two really want to make a move, you are more likely to lose, so the system has decided to recommend you a way to use the lake water - how about trying to use it on the crystal weapon produced in the abyss? ”

It sounded a little dangerous, but recalling Octavir's combat power and talent that would only make the girl stronger and stronger with the passage of time, Nangong Rong finally nodded decisively.
