Chapter 672: It's hard to distinguish friend from foe seven
The seriously injured Lumiti appeared and briefly introduced himself, and his feelings about the four people who had been lost and recovered were very complicated. To some extent, it is similar to free-range pigeons, I thought that I could only consider myself unlucky if I ran away from the four, but I didn't expect that when I turned around, these four not only came back, but also coerced the other four. Of course, Ice Lotus and Hicks are quite sufficient, and the two underground interracial teenagers feel a little shrunk.
And Jiao Ming and the others followed up and introduced themselves, even including Sepud, who was quarantined and disposed of, and reminded again that this is an important person in the Ifusen Theocracy, and be careful to keep watch.
“...... Also, you seem to be cooperating with the Mother Earth Cult. In fact, we also know a nine-ring ascetic of the Mother Earth God Cult, Master Mar. If we allow it, we can send a handwritten letter using spatial teleportation magic. ”
Not to mention the obvious non-meddling attitude of those distinguished guests in the internal affairs of Graystone City, the handwritten letter is too easy to imitate, and it is useless at all. Lumiti waved his hand, just asking about the process of the crocodile leader's actions after entering the city, so as to compare it with the known information and have a general attitude judgment.
The crocodile led several people to look at each other and reached a tacit understanding. Binglian said expressionlessly, "Let's be honest, just don't leak out the silver ring fragments." ”
Jiao Ming suddenly smiled bitterly: "It's been revealed a long time ago." When he was caught, he was searched out. ”
"You won't hide?" Chunyu immediately called, attracting Lumiti's gaze, and then relented.
"Forgot. Jiao Ming shrugged. And the madman personality in his heart had already been scolded for being a fool and a fool, although he didn't think about it at the time.
Binglian rolled her eyes, with a charm in her anger. "Since it's easy to get back, it means that the underground aliens don't know about this thing. If they don't ask too much, at least keep the features hidden. lest we be greedy and rob, which will be difficult for us and Hicks. ”
"Okay. Jiao Ming nodded.
This 'almost' unreserved answer, because there were no lies, and of course it was closely matched with the information held by the underground aliens, and it also won some of Lumiti's trust. As for the ownership of the silver ring fragments, Ice Lotus's worries still occurred, but Hicks handed them over anyway under Jiao Ming's example of 'easy retrieval'.
After groping and confirming that it was the previous one, Lumiti once again experienced the refreshing feeling of 'lost and regained', and shook his half-cut tail for a while.
Seeing this, Binglian asked tentatively, "We are very curious why you are so insistent on this object. Please let us know if you can. ”
"It's nothing to tell you. This is a bounty that can be exchanged for a large bounty by weight. ”
"Reward?" the crocodile led everyone to speak in unison, staring at the underground alien boy who was in charge of translation. The amount of information is so large that it is suspected that it is a translation error. The reason is simple, as a credible bounty, there should be a record of multiple completions. That is, there are a lot of silver rings or fragments thereof.
One of the previous translators was stunned by the cannibalistic eyes, and the other hurried to explain. "It's the 'bounty', and you can't go wrong. ”
"Ask him, has he ever completed the bounty?" Jiao Ming immediately sought confirmation.
"Absolutely. According to family records, in more than 100 years, my family has handed in three smaller fragments. And Graystone City has handled at least three complete rings, and there are countless fragments. ”
Lumiti replied simply, this may be a 'not a secret that is not a secret' in the nearby underground alien city alliance, but for the crocodile leader, it is tantamount to earth-shattering news, the kind that can smash people unconscious. The madman personality, in particular, was already screaming with excitement.
Unexpectedly, there was such an unexpected gain, Jiao Ming barely suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and asked, "Where did you find these things?"
Just what he saw and heard in Gray Rock City, he subconsciously ruled out the possibility of the underground alien race making silver rings, and the level of technology was simply worlds apart. Unless primitive people could make smartphones from stone tools, it would be possible for these large lizards to make silver rings.
Bing Lian hurriedly coughed lightly, interrupted the translation of the underground alien boy, and added an explanation: "Let's just say that we want to have a good relationship with the high-level of Gray Rock City, and this thing seems to be a fairly easy way, ask how to find more." ”
Lumiti was unskeptical, and replied, "There will always be lucky people who will find these things in the rock formations within the confines of the entire city union. But be searching, at least I've never heard of successful people. ”
The crocodile leaders looked at each other again, each groaning. Although this answer is simple, it is not easy to show.
Compared with the surface biosphere, the underground world is a more three-dimensional existence, and the distance of tens of kilometers is enough to make finding things more difficult than 'finding a needle in a haystack'. After all, it is only within a few meters of the shallow surface of the seabed, and there is no restriction on swimming and movement.
After a while, Jiao Ming hesitated: "I am very concerned about one thing, with such a large number, there is actually no underground alien race to discover the secret collection and discover its usage. I'm afraid this is unreasonable. But it's a bit abrupt and ill-intentioned to ask a direct question, so please discuss a tactful way to ask a question. ”
"There is indeed a suspicion of abetment. Binglian nodded, but after thinking about it, she slowly shook her head. "Translation obstacles, no matter how euphemistic they are, may not be able to achieve results. It's safer to wait for trust to grow, and we're already too far off topic. ”
"Okay. Back to the point. But I'll say something finally. Jiao Ming also remembered that there were still urgent things to solve, but he didn't want to bury his major doubts in his mind. It's a bit sensational, but it's better than the situation of the people in detective stories.
"In the previous battle, when I was two minutes late, it was actually a problem with spatial teleportation. Although he opened up another road in time, he also inexplicably moved more than ten kilometers out of thin air in the direction of the underground alien core holy land.
It's so weird that the madman's personality suspects it has something to do with the shards, I'm not sure yet. But now that I heard about the bounty, I had to have a suspicion. That is a force that is in charge of this, and all the underground aliens who have hidden and used the silver ring are all trapped. ”
The crocodile leaders all had a cold sweat on their backs, and the scene fell into a brief silence until Lumiti couldn't bear it anymore and asked about the situation.
"Nothing. It's just a little thing. Binglian said perfunctorily, and then pulled back to his train of thought. After all, it's just a suspicion, and there's no need to scare yourself. Clearing his throat and speaking:
"We have information to say about the dwarf Lal that you captured earlier. Maybe you don't believe it, but listening to one more statement and comparing it with each other can avoid a bad situation. ”
Lumiti expressed interest. "Tell me about it. ”
Binglian seized the opportunity to tell the story. And according to the agreement with Hicks, without the other party's in-depth investigation, the specific role of the fraternal was not disclosed to prove its importance.
The core message is that the dwarf Ral is a traitor to the dwarf clan, stealing the treasure that the dwarves value very much, and intends to trade with the Ifusen theocracy, but unfortunately the matter is revealed, so he chooses to have money and goods in the underground world. That's why both sides are here.
Lumiti didn't say much, just waved his hand and continued. After all, this is too different from the previous statement given by the dwarf Ral, and there is no essential difference in the trust between the two sides, and how to accept it has become a problem under the premise that it is difficult to obtain evidence. And the decision on this matter needs to listen to the orders of the city lord.
The other party's indifferent reaction, Binglian was not surprised, the gullible person could not sit in the position of the head of the city guard, but continued:
"Whatever you plan to do with the dwarven treasures, you will inevitably have to communicate with the underground aliens, and you will have to face the language barrier. We will say nothing else, except that in the course of your communication, you will not leave all the translation work to the dwarf Lal, lest he interfere with it and stir up a lot of trouble, which will cause irreparable bad consequences, such as war. ”
Since he plays the role of a lobbyist who seeks benefits by lip service, he must consider the problem from the perspective of the 'lord'. Therefore, although there is the idea of 'confronting each other face to face', Binglian does not mention it.
There are two reasons for this. First of all, it doesn't matter who is true or who is false for the underground aliens, who can bring the greatest benefits to their own side, whose statement is true. Secondly, the underground aliens will not be happy to see the two parties meet, so as not to steal the partnership fraud and the like, and this kind of statement will only arouse suspicion.
"Interesting suggestion, I will consider it. Lumiti nodded. This suggestion has a low cost and high returns, and there is no risk of joint and several liability, which is quite appetizing.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although it is not as high as expected, the status quo of house arrest should be preserved.
"We have one more reluctant request. Please take a few minutes to listen. ”
"Of course. ”
"The old man next door is an important figure in the Ifusen Theocracy. They will come and find you, but you are a bit technically rough in qi magic, and we implore you to allow us to participate in the detention work. ”
Despite some necessary embellishments, Lumiti immediately sensed the meaning of 'contempt'. But thinking about it three times or twice to let humans teleport away from their hands, holding their breath, it seems that it is really irrefutable.
On the other hand, the purpose of capturing this old man and other suspicious humans in the first place was to block the information on cooperation with the Earth Mother God Cult. Now that the prisons have been robbed, the information will inevitably leak.
Then this old man remains in his hands, and only has two functions: maintaining face and serving as bait. The former has been lost, and there is no need to hold on. From the latter point of view, regardless of whether the identity of this group of people is true or not, it cannot be wrong to be hostile to the Ifusen theocracy. It doesn't hurt to involve them.
As soon as Lumiti wanted to agree, another question came to mind. Why are these humans so active? Is there something else hidden? Thankless things that no one in the underground alien race would do, and there is no reason for humans to rush to do it.
"You have an enmity with the Ifusen theocracy?"
"There was no grudge. It's just that this time I accidentally got involved in a series of things, and the old man knew the details. If you let this old man go back, I'm afraid there will be no peace. ”
"I see. Lumiti waved his hand, and naturally someone carried the still unconscious Seypd over. "We had a good conversation, and the old man was of no use to us. As a small reward, let's kill you with your own hands, and you can rest assured. ”
Is this a temptation? The crocodile leader looked at each other speechlessly.
If it is a temptation, and not the purpose of the temptation. If you don't kill, your trust and favorability will all slip, and if you kill, you will have a feeling of 'distress'. And Jiao Ming is even more reminiscent of a scene in a famous movie, where a certain maniac with heavy makeup casually ignited a mountain of dollars neatly stacked.
If it's not a temptation, it's just an expression of kindness. Wouldn't killing it be a loss of bleeding, and if you don't kill it, how can you get through?
Bing Lian's mind was spinning rapidly, already convinced that this was a temptation, and at the same time, she realized that verbal discussion and inaction were worse 'two-ended' choices. Under the urgency of time, he gritted his teeth and smashed his fist into Seypud's head with a vague thought.
There was a soft snap, but the punch was swept away by Lumiti's tail. After all, it is the Nine Rings, and the reaction speed and strength will not be like a moth.
"To tell you the truth, in the previous battle in the prison, both captives were rescued. The Ifusen Theocracy must have known about our cooperation with the Earth Mother Cult, and there must be more important things to do. Although it is unlikely that the other party will risk saving people again, he still has to use this old man as bait. After all, it was a semi-abandoned plan, but I didn't think about it for a while. ”
Convinced that there was nothing to hide, Lumiti was satisfied. And giving such information can be regarded as a kind of compensation. After all, you can't hide this kind of thing from a wise person. And the disparity in strength between the two sides is both compensation and explanation, and I am not afraid that Binglian and others will not accept it.
