Chapter Seventy-Seven: Opportunity
Sauls had no idea that things would turn out like this. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The Three-City Alliance of Bow City, Smoke City, and Luo City officially announced its surrender to Iwaki not long ago.
Sauls, who didn't understand what was going on, knew the details of everything from the emissary he had just sent from the Tri-Cities Alliance.
The emissary's sad and indignant expression was still vivid in Sauls's mind.
"Lin Yuan!"
Sauls hurriedly rushed to the city hall, ignoring the presence of others, and yelled angrily at Lin Yuan on the main seat.
The civil officials who were busy dealing with the submission of the Three Cities Alliance had horror on their faces, but they did not dare to stop their work at will.
Lin Yuan, who was sitting leisurely, drank a small sip of lukewarm tea.
"Sols, don't make a fuss, you're going to get in the way. ”
Sauls tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, he was bound by the oath, and he could not make any resistance to Lin Yuan, even if it was verbal, he would be punished to a certain extent.
He had to think the language well.
"Lord Lin Yuan, the Tri-Cities Alliance is not our enemy," Thor made a dry voice from his throat, "Why didn't you discuss with us before you did something, your kind of methods...... It's just too much!"
Lin Yuan put down the teacup in his hand, and there was no trace of fluctuation on his face.
"The Tri-Cities Alliance, they're not friends either, that's enough. ”
Sauls was tempted to unleash his power of suffering, but he knew it would be futile and would lead to death.
“...... You shouldn't have created that kind of plague, but the three city-states have a population of 200,000!
"Rest assured, rest assured, if you can't get it back, everything is under control. Lin Yuan waved his hand softly.
He beckoned to the servants on standby to add new tea for him.
"And you see, now that we have taken three cities without bloodshed, it will be good for everyone. ”
Sauls' facial features were about to huddle together.
"Lord Lin Yuan, we don't need to get those three cities, just increasing the territory of our influence will attract the hostility of others! This will only make us even more disadvantaged!"
"The veins of the Crystallization of Magic have led us to the most unfavorable position in the world early in the morning. ”
Lin Yuan picked up the steaming teacup, and looked straight at Sauls, who was unconvinced, through the rising steam.
"With that kind of thing in hand, do you think that even if we do nothing, we will be safe and sound? In a short time, the attention of all the forces will be directed towards this land, coveting everything here. ”
Sauls couldn't argue with it, he knew it was an unavoidable fact.
"But you shouldn't ...... either"
"It's because it's necessary that I'm doing this," Lin Yuan interrupted Sols, "If I wait any longer, I will only lose the opportunity, what I need now is not a solid foundation, but to expand my strength as much as possible." ”
He drank all the hot tea in one go.
"So without further ado, I'll fly back with the messengers of the Tri-Cities Alliance to meet their leaders, and I'll go with Heras, and the others will stay here. ”
"What? it's so fast! We're not ready yet!" Thor leaned forward excitedly.
"But I think the other party should be ready," Lin Yuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, "If you really want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself...... Hey, forget it, you have to give someone a chance. ”
"Sols," Lin Yuan put away the flirtatious expression on his face, and said to Sols, "You keep an eye on everything nearby for me, and don't let troublesome people cause chaos." ”
Sauls sensed that Lin Yuan was serious.
"Did you find anything?"
"I found it, but the traces left by the other party are too big, and I don't know if it's to divert my attention from doing such a conspicuous thing. ”
Lin Yuan remembered the incident that happened yesterday, and then explained it to Sauls in detail.
Sauls frowned tightly when he learned the ins and outs.
“...... Why do you do that? Isn't it pure futility? And it leaves so many clues...... That's weird, isn't it?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's really a madman. ”
As Lin Yuan spoke, he took out a pale magic guide book.
"Sols, take this book of ghouls, you should have heard about this thing from Old Man Pang. ”
Sauls took the Book of Ghouls and held it in his hand with some discomfort.
The constant pulsation of the magic book caused him an instinctive sense of disgust.
"So, I'm off to go. ”
Lin Yuan put on a black robe with fine workmanship.
This is a specially custom-made dress for him, without any special abilities, just a good-looking robe.
"Momentum is a very important thing. Lin Yuan looked at the clothes on his body with satisfaction.
"Lord Lin Yuan...... Please also ...... Exercise restraint. ”
Knowing that he couldn't stop the other party's actions, Sauls could only keep reminding and admonishing again and again.
Lin Yuan pretended to wave the big sleeves of his robe.
"I won't mess around, as long as the other party is obedient, how can I mess around?"

Hanniel Buck felt that things were getting a little out of hand.
"Came back too soon......"
Although everything was ready, the other party's actions were a little beyond imagination.
The envoy group that had gone to Iwaki in the morning returned in the afternoon.
Of course, not all the more than 30 people in the whole group came back, but the henchmen of the ambassador, who were the ambassador's henchmen, came back in a hurry with two strange young men riding flying monsters.
He looked at the person who had come down from the back of the two-legged wyvern, trying to hide the killing intent in his heart.
Just now, the henchman told Buck everything he knew.
“...... Is that you?"
The ordinary-looking black-haired boy was the main culprit who caused the epidemic in the three city-states.
"Since the other party sent it to the door, how can it not be good to greet people?"
Ding Yun secretly tugged at the corner of Buck's clothes, telling him not to put on an obviously fierce look.
“...... I understand, first of all, I have to get that guy to spit out a cure for this plague. ”
In order to hide the fierce glint in his eyes, Buck lowered his proud head and made a look of greeting the other party.
"Your Excellency, you have come suddenly, but we are ready to take you to the dust, please!" Jace Adamspie smiled at the young man, who was still unknown.
"Then you'll have to do it. ”
The young man smiled gently, and then, from his robe, he took out a cloth hydration bag.
"This lord ...... What is this?"
"Aren't you supposed to want this?"
The young man placed the water bag in Adams' hand without changing his face.
"Just take a sip and you'll be back to normal. ”
Adams' breathing stopped.
Buck and Ding Yun's gaze was also inseparable from the seemingly ordinary water bag.
"Actually...... Hand it over so easily?"
Of course they know what it is.
This is the antidote to the plague.
"Or ...... Is it a fake?"
"You can go and test it out," the young man said, smiling unchanged, "the results will come out soon, don't worry, it's 100 percent effective." ”
Adams carefully handed over the important items in his hands to his allies.
Ding Yun couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, and after accepting the water bag, he hurriedly ran away.
"I'm sorry, it's a bit of a gaffe. ”
Adams bowed his head in shame and apologized.
"It's really rude to ask this kind of question now...... What is your Excellency's name?"
The young man waved his hand indifferently.
"I'm ...... I am Arcana, the one who now dominates the Rock City and the Stone City as far as you know. ”

Lin Yuan enjoyed the food unceremoniously.
Sitting on the upper seat in the Yancheng banquet hall, Lin Yuan, accompanied by the high-level leaders of the Three Cities Alliance, had a friendly exchange.
Herass stood behind Lin Yuan with an expressionless face, dutifully protecting her master.
"Lord Arcana, is the food still to your liking?"
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded at Ding Yun, the city lord of Bow City, who asked questions.
"Pretty good, you guys really have a heart. ”
After the initial exchange, Lin Yuan already knew the identities of the people present.
He nodded to the other two city lords and gave them a toast.
"Sincerely, Lord Alcana. ”
Jace Adams, the lord of Nail City, and Hanniel Barker, the lord of Smoke City, boldly drained the wine in their glasses.
After confirming that the antidote brought by Lin Yuan could effectively relieve the epidemic in the city, the Three Cities Alliance seemed to put down the mustard and greeted Lin Yuan warmly.
"Arcana...... Why use a pseudonym?"
Heras's thoughts sounded in Lin Yuan's heart.
"And, just eat what the enemy has prepared, aren't you afraid that they will poison the food?"
Lin Yuan gulped down the delicacies on the table.
"Heras, don't you think the name Lin Yuan doesn't sound majestic enough?"
"You put on a pseudonym...... That's why?"
"Haha, this is one of the reasons," Lin Yuan responded in his heart, "In this period, it's better not to expose your real name." ”
Lin Yuan felt that his stomach was already eight points full, and he stopped eating in his hands.
"Besides, you're worried that they're going to be poisoned, so you're really thinking too much. ”
Lin Yuan showed a refreshing smile.
"It's all poisonous. ”
Herass could barely maintain a serious look.
"Three adults," Lin Yuan wiped the corners of his mouth, "Next, it is time to continue your oath ceremony, and after you complete the ceremony, I will immediately provide enough antidote to restore all sick patients." ”
“...... Of course, of course. The lord of Luocheng smiled stiffly.
They learned from Lin Yuan that after going through the ritual of magic, they could be regarded as truly subservient to the new ruler.
“...... Yes, we're ready. ”
Hanniel Buck took a few steps forward and filled Lin Yuan's air-conditioned wine glass.
"Ready...... I'm going to bury you!"
Everything happens between the lights and the fire.
The city lord of Smoke City raised his magic power, drew out his hidden short knife, and slashed at Lin Yuan, who was bringing the wine glass to his lips.
Heras's speed was faster than his.
The next second Buck drew his blade, Heras had already come to Lin Yuan's side and kicked the tall man out of the room.
When Buck flew out of the gate, the shadow under Lin Yuan began to squirm strangely.
A figure in a black leotard emerges from the shadows out of thin air.
The man held a pitch-black short sword in his hand, and stabbed down from behind Lin Yuan's defenselessness.
The pitch-black short sword pierced Lin Yuan's head without any obstacles, and the tip of the sword pierced through the center of his eyebrows.
"It worked!"
When the Assassin thought this, he saw the target who should die immediately, and his head turned a hundred and eighty degrees, and his black eyes were fixed on him, as if they were going to suck him in.
"Wow!"
The Assassin saw an endless fear in those eyes, pouring into his body.
An unprecedented sense of fear raged in his brain.
Dominated by fear, he lost the ability to think, could no longer lift a trace of strength, and the magic in his body completely fell silent.
All the training he had been through was completely useless at this moment.
"It's a pity that this kind of physical attack didn't work against me. ”
Maintaining the appearance of his head being pierced by a sharp sword, Lin Yuan's body sat still, and his right hand turned behind him at an impossible angle, sticking to the assassin's body.
"Good work, Mr. Assassin, goodbye. ”
The two city lords who were still in the banquet hall looked at the assassins they had sent out in shock, and they instantly turned into dried corpses.
"You, you...... You ......" Ding Yun was so frightened that he fell off his heavy chair.
Jace Adams couldn't react either.
"What a pity, wise city lords. ”
Lin Yuan's head and arms shifted back to the posture that a normal person should have.
He slowly reached out and pulled out the sword in his brain.
A few wisps of pale yellow light smoke wafted out from Lin Yuan's pierced eyebrows.
A slightly pungent smell spreads through the banquet hall.
Lin Yuan stretched his neck left and right, and casually threw the black short sword to the ground.
In the center of his eyebrows, there is no hole in the sword piercing,
Lin Yuan's body did not leave even a single scar or blood.
He grinned at the two city lords who were staring blankly.
"The opportunity has been given to you, and your choice really did not disappoint me, then, the next time is the time for punishment. ”
