214. The Lost Traveler
After Lori agreed to Lucheng's terms of cooperation, it took Lori less than an hour to write a list for Lucheng.
The information on the list is very detailed, including the lives of the members of the Shadow Society, their apparent identities, and even their usual preferences.
Lu Cheng could feel the strong killing intent of this first-year elementary school student towards those traitors just by this list.
"Give me another week and I'll be able to put together a more detailed one." Lori stopped the pen in her hand and moved her wrist.
"Tired of writing?" Lu Cheng put down the notebook in his hand and asked.
"I'm trained to be an assassin, not a clerk, and..." Lori took out her backpack and put the books on the table with titles such as lesson and practice, and after-class exercises, "I missed class for half a month, and I have to make up all the homework I missed during this period, if you are willing to help, I can come up with a detailed list earlier." ”
"That's a really good student." Lu Cheng closed the notebook in his hand and put it back on the table, "The list of members of the Shadow Society will be put aside first, what I want to know most is the identification method of the shapeshifter." ”
This is the real purpose of Lucheng's visit to Lori, who has consulted with Master Pooh and Baier Walker about the existence of the shapeshifter.
However, the two masters from the Secret Magic Society both said that the existence of the Shapeshifter was a unique secret technique of the Shadow Sect, and it was very difficult for other spellcasters to crack it.
In other words, this group of assassins from the Far South can disguise themselves as anyone, and the Celestial Empire has no way to detect them, unless they become a member of the Scarley, Lu Cheng can recognize them with the mind reading skills of the Crystal Spirit.
This is a great threat to the safety of the Celestial Empire's personnel!
"You'll have to complete my second commission before I can tell you how to identify us."
Lori is very resolute in this, and the transformation of the shapeshifter into someone else is something that Lori brings to eat, and it is the only hole card she has that makes her realize that she is not a schoolboy, but the former chief assassin of the Far South.
If her hole card is known to Lu Cheng, then she has no ability to resist in front of Lu Cheng.
"My preferred way of trading is to pay now and deliver later, and Miss Lori... You owe us a lot. ”
Lu Cheng plays the identity of a bad guy at this moment, which is why Lu Cheng put aside his personal identity to talk to Lori.
The way to identify the shapeshifter is something that Lucheng or the Celestial Empire must know, because the existence of the shapeshifter is too great a threat to the Celestial Empire.
For this reason, Lu Cheng even arrested the two half-elf shapeshifters and 'tortured' them, but their level was so low that even Master Pooh shook his head after seeing it and said, "Let these two thieves go." ’
If Lori is unwilling to say it, Lucheng can only take extraordinary measures.
"Listen to me first, your name is Lu Cheng, right?"
Lori's second commission was to hope that Lu Cheng could help her save a few people, and Lu Cheng's tough stance made Lori very afraid that Lori would break her promise.
"yes, what's wrong?" Lu Cheng couldn't understand why she suddenly asked this.
"Your name is your surname in front, the road is your surname, and the city is your name, am I right?" Lori asked a strange question.
"Do you want to say your last name is Luo?"
Lu Cheng quickly understood what Lori was trying to do.
"I don't have a last name, I don't have a name, and the name Lori means withering in the lingua franca... But I know that in the Far South there are people who use your script as surnames. Lori said.
"What word?"
"May." Lori wrote this Chinese character in her notebook: "I always thought that the pronunciation was the same just a coincidence, but Mei... That's what you say in your language, I've seen their patriarch, who has the same dark hair and black eyes as you. ”
"After opening a new branch, did the NPC finally start releasing follow-up quests?"
Lucheng didn't think Lori was lying, and the existence of Bayer Walker reminded Lucheng of one thing, that is, was Bayer Walker the only one who came to this world seventy-five years ago?
Even Bayer Walker himself can't be sure, and when you look at the many cultures in this world that are similar to the earth, Lucheng can be sure that there were earthlings who visited this world not only seventy-five years ago, but even earlier in the past.
It's just that science hadn't advanced to the level it is today, so they didn't leave much behind.
"Side quests?" Lori didn't understand what Lu Cheng was saying.
"Don't care, tell me in detail what kind of existence the family with Mei as the surname is."
Lucheng and the Celestial Empire are very concerned about the events of Bayer Walker, if there are other people who came to this world seventy-five years ago, whether it is these time-travelers or their descendants... Lu Cheng felt that the upper echelons of the Celestial Empire would find a way to save them.
"Where to start." Lori asked.
"At the beginning, what are the legends about this family, the more detailed we are, the faster we can complete your commission." Lu Cheng said.
Lori began to recount the family's past from her own memories.
The Mei family was not a big nobleman in the Far South Empire, but a clerk of the previous king of the Far South.
Judging from Lori's description, the patriarch of the Mei family did not have any talent for magic, but relied on his literary talent and some skills to be appreciated by the previous kings of the Far South.
This sounds like a standard time-traveling plot in Lucheng, and if this Mei's predecessor still understands gunpowder and the like, maybe the other world where Lucheng is located will be a different picture.
It's a pity that if the patriarch of the Mei clan is really from the Celestial Empire, I'm afraid he is from the same era as Baier Walker, that is, the group that came to this world seventy-five years ago.
"I was an orphan adopted by the family, and I was sent to study with Lady Shadowfog when I was thirteen or fourteen years old."
Lori tells Lucheng some of the past she has been hiding for a long time, and that Lady Shadowmist is dead, and this information is not very useful.
"And then?"
"There are two other people who follow Lady Shadow Mist with me, they are a pair of siblings, named Meyer and Merris, they did not pass the shadow trial of Lady Shadow Mist, so they are only peripheral members of the Shadow Society, responsible for assisting the Shadow Society in sorting out some information" Lori said as she recalled, "They have nothing to do with the Blood Crystal Beast, they are all innocent... But I know that the Shadow Society's Blood Crystal Beast cultivation requires a lot of living sacrifices, so..."
"Where does this family live? I will arrange for someone to take them out of the Far South, but if their ancestors are really members of our country..."Lu Cheng's face once again appeared with a smile that made Luo Li a little uncomfortable, but Lu Cheng's words made Luo Li very relieved.
"Even if we blow up the entire Far South, we will keep them safe."
