[Chapter 81]: The wheels of war are rolling
"I asked the summon to track the Xu family and go to a new hiding place, it's keeping an eye on its target, and if things go wrong, it will come back on its own. It didn't come back, which means everything is okay and your people are fine. ”
Lu Xun asked, "If you want the address now, I'll call it back." ”
He didn't know where the second stunned man had gone.
But as a summon of a necromancer, the little evil spirit needs the soul power provided by Lu Xun to survive in this world, and it can't run too far.
As long as Lu Xun cuts off the "supply", it will automatically return to the underworld.
Then just summon it out for questioning.
"You're a magician?" Vile was a little surprised.
In the Human Federation, although there are many foreign immigrants, there are few magicians. Most of the foreigners who can immigrate to the People's Union are just ordinary laborers, and few of them have awakened racial talents.
… This is, of course, for the sake of social stability.
If the streets are full of powerful magicians, it will not be conducive to the management of social security.
There are also many summoning types of elemental magic, such as "Earth Spirit Summoning".
She thought Lu Xun was just an ordinary elemental mage...... After all, necromancers are so rare that most people don't think about it.
"If that's the case, then there's no need to call it back just yet." Wei'er thought for a moment and said to Lu Xun, "Let it continue to stare at it, wait for me to make some arrangements first, and act around half past ten tonight, and then tell us the address...... Sorry for your help. ”
"Hmm." Lu Xun nodded.
Understood what she meant.
The second stunned person was reluctant to sneak in, and after being recalled, it was not so easy to sneak in again.
It doesn't start until the evening, and if something happens in between, it's not good. For example, the elves are urgently transferred, and the enemy suddenly starts to make drugs in advance......
So I have to let the second stunned continue to stare at it, and then let it come back to report the situation after Wei'er is ready to have people.
"Let's add a contact information."
Lu Xun took out the communication device - of course it was not his own, but the one that Zhang Xinghai gave him.
Weier also showed the communicator, added a contact, and remarked "friend".
Since the mysterious man was reluctant to identify himself, there was no need for her to ask for the other person's name.
In interpersonal communication, respect is the foundation of trust!
"By the way, how much do you know about the bastards who hunt and sell elves? Any more information? ”
Wei'er suddenly raised her eyes and looked over, and her voice was pleasant: "If there is still information, please be sure to give it to us, and we will settle the remuneration for you together in the evening." ”
The elves don't speak, they said before that "there will be a good reward", so it is definitely impossible to speak as a fart. The remuneration that should be given to the family must be given.
"It's gone~"
Lu Xun spread his hands, shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the Xu family just happened to meet someone who sold elves, and happened to hear that someone was selling vampires again. ”
That's a coincidence...
Everything has been bumped into by the Xu family, right?
Weier couldn't help but frown.
In fact, it is obvious that these two gangs of traffickers may be the same group of people.
Because if you want to make a super powerful elixir, you have to have both elves and blood clans, and the elves are okay, as long as the guts are fat enough, it is not difficult to catch a few.
But vampires are too rare.
If you only sell elves, you won't have much to sell! Only some LSP customers who are bold and undesirable will place orders.
"Looks like you know more than I do." Lu Xun observed his words and chuckled, "I really can't help you with this, I have no information." ”
"It's okay, Your Excellency has already helped us a lot."
Wei'er said with a serious expression:
"This case, in fact, is not that simple, it is not just an elf smuggling case."
"Huh?"
"You've given us important information, and I'll share with you some secrets that only the higher-ups know." Her face became solemn, and she whispered, "... This case is likely to be a precursor to a war. ”
"Hmm... Well?! ”
It took 0.5 seconds for Lu Xun to react, and he was stunned on the spot.
A harbinger of war?
It's just a smuggling case, why is there even a war?
… The price of Ugin has been rising recently, could it be that something big is going to happen?
No way?
He was silent on the surface, but his mind began to churn.
As he pondered, Vile on the other side continued:
"This is the seventh elf smuggling case of the Human Federation this year... I'm not the only one investigating, and the case didn't just happen in Jinghai City.
But there's a very weird thing, you know what's it? ”
"Weird things?" Lu Xun frowned and motioned for her to continue.
"The clues we have obtained are not self-discovered, but that there are mysterious people who have been providing information to the embassy.
Including the case of Jinghai City this time, someone secretly took a picture of the elf who had been captured and mailed it to the embassy anonymously, and there were only two words behind the photo - Jinghai. …… So I was sent to investigate. ”
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"That's why it's not easy." Wei'er pursed her lips and said in a deep voice, "The people who sell elves and vampires, and the people who provide information, are likely from the same organization. ”
What?
Hearing this, Lu Xun immediately frowned.
What is this, provocation?
Capturing and selling elves is an unforgivable capital crime.
You don't do business secretly, you don't make a fortune quietly, but you report yourself, right?
… No, they're not reporting themselves.
But as soon as the goods were shipped, the buyer who placed the order was stabbed in the back!
But that's not profitable, it's purely a loss of character.
"Do you mean ......?"
Lu Xun was taken aback, and thought of a possibility-
"Someone is deliberately trying to sow discord between humans and elves?"
"Yes."
Vale nodded, confirming his suspicions.
illegally captured elves, and also got vampires, sold them to those in power who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and then deliberately sent information to the elves for them to investigate......
Damn, the intentions are so sinister!
Lu Xun couldn't help but sigh.
Although the methods of others are despicable, this trick is indeed clever.
If it's just ordinary people who buy and sell elves, maybe it's not too much of a problem.
After all, the Human Federation is so big, and there are billions of people, and it is normal for there to always be some crooked melons and cracked dates. What race doesn't have a few rat droppings? There's nothing wrong with that.
Even the elves who are known as "low desire" have a lot of bad guys with bad intentions.
But the problem is that ordinary people can't afford elves and vampires at all, and the vast majority of humans can't even afford ordinary life prolonging pills, let alone super powerful "elixirs".
The people involved, one counts as one, and all of them are high-level members of the Human Federation!
Buyers are all influential, high-ranking human "representatives" in local councils and even federal parliaments.
To a large extent, they can represent the "people's union".
Human nature is complex, contradictory, and changeable.
As a short-lived species, how many humans can resist the temptation of "immortality"?
The elven dealers will secretly screen and select some people who are not determined to be in power of the Terran and bewitch them.
Sell the elves to others, then turn around and backstab!
Let the elves and people have a disagreement.
It's really ruthless.
Spend so much effort, put so much effort, spend so much money, and take so much risk...... Is the purpose just to sow discord between elves and humans?
It's puzzling though.
But just deduce it the other way around-
If the elves and the human alliance break up, who will be most beneficial?
That's a bit much.
Don't look at Lu Xun, who has lived in the era of "peace" for the past thirteen years.
But if you zoom in and take a closer look at this world of all races, you will find that there is no such thing as "peace" from beginning to end.
It can only be said that the city where Lu Xun is located and the race to which he belongs are in a relatively peaceful period, the situation is stable, and there are few wars.
But if you look at the world, there are many careerists.
The strong people who are unwilling to be lonely and ready to move are not one or two.
Elves and humans are not so easy to break up, and the friendship of 30,000 years is not an ornament.
But the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill.
Many seemingly irreconcilable ethnic conflicts are actually caused by some seemingly insignificant "small contradictions".
If we don't pay attention to it, the petty contradictions will accumulate more and more, and in the end, it will be a "boom" and turn into a big volcanic eruption.
"Are you sure? War is coming? Lu Xun asked in a deep voice.
"No, just speculation...... In fact, it is not only the 'elf smuggling case', but also many, many strange things have happened in recent years. ”
Wei'er said seriously: "I don't know if the war will come, but it is certain that someone is eyeing the human race and the elf race. The tranquility in front of us is only a harbinger of the storm. ”
Lu Xun nodded, and subconsciously clenched his fists.
There was an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart, and a layer of gloom was cast.
…… War.
What a ruthless, cold two words.
How fragile is life in the face of a terrifying war machine? Small as grass.
Even king-level creatures are nothing more than dust kicked up by a random shot.
The six million people in Jinghai City are just a dead soul under a great forbidden curse.
Hopefully the "Tempest" will come back later.
Now he is just a "seedling", unable to carry the burden for himself and his family in the war, and he needs time to "grow up".
There are still a few months left before the college entrance examination...... You told me that war was going to break out?
Behind the quiet years, there has already been an undercurrent.
If it weren't for Wei'er's inform, Lu Xun might have been confused until the war began.
Jinghai District 17, Shuiyunjian Community.
Li Xiaoning can already eat by herself, and she doesn't need to be fed by hand.
"Brother Lu's cooking skills are getting better and better!" Her eyes sparkled and she complimented.
"It's good to get used to eating." Lu Xun nodded and said to her, "I went to my friend's house to do some errands just now, so I'm late." ”
Since he went to Wei'er's house, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, so he came over to make lunch for Li Xiaoning and change the medicine for her father.
"It's okay, you're already grateful." Her tone was sincere.
Meal.
Lu Xun took out half a bottle of medicine and handed it to her: "This is the medicine that someone gave me, you can apply it yourself." ”
It is a super healing drug specially supplied by Tiewei from Zhang Xinghai!
Last night, Lu Xun had more than 300 wounds all over his body, and after taking the medicine, all of them recovered in just over 3 hours, and not even a single scar was left, and the effect of the medicine was ridiculously strong.
In fact, he now has the stunt of "Strong Healing Aura", which can cure Li Xiaoning in a few seconds.
But don't reveal your secrets.
Anyway, it's pretty much the same with special drugs.
"This medicine is very powerful, you can recover tonight." ——As soon as Li Xiaoning took the medicine bottle, his voice sounded in his ears again.
She was stunned for a moment, then she was at a loss, and her eyes were flustered: "Huh? Well, is that so? That... Then Brother Lu, will you come back tomorrow? ”
"Of course not."
Lu Xun glanced at her strangely: "After taking the medicine, you will be alive at night, what else am I doing?" ”
He asked Zhang Xinghai for this medicine, just to end his career as a "nurse" ahead of schedule.
“… Oh. She was silent for a few seconds, her tone slightly lost, "That's... All right. ”
Lu Xun glanced at this little sister, who was only 16 years old, thought about it, and asked her, "Have you dropped out of school?" ”
"Not yet, I'll go to school tomorrow to go through the withdrawal procedures." She replied in a low voice.
The old octopus sent a lot of money over.
But by the time her father had surgery and had his body replaced, there wasn't much left.
The old octopus is dead, and no one will come to her grandfather's card again.
She and her father can only rely on each other for their lives, and their future life will definitely not be easy.
Drop out of school, work part-time, earn money to make ends meet...... This is a reasonable life script.
Lu Xun couldn't help but think of his previous experience as an "apprentice" in the slaughterhouse, doing "odd jobs", and working hard to make money.
Now he is not short of money, and the prostheses, equipment, and 180 million cash worth nearly 10 billion are all placed in the iron pillar.
He also jumped from an inferior ordinary student to a powerhouse of the second order of the lord.
And that's all just the last few days.
His life has changed dramatically because of a prosthetic body called "War Ghost Type 8".
Fate is wonderful.
"Go back to school, study is the only way out." Lu Xun thought for a while and said to her, "If you lack money, you can borrow from me, and when you develop in the future, just pay it back to me." Of course, it's your freedom to do what you do, I'm just mentioning it casually. ”
"I'm gone, I'll see you later."
After speaking, before Li Xiaoning could react, Lu Xun waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the door.
"Brother Lu!" She suddenly shouted hurriedly, her voice trembling a little.
"Huh? What else? ”
“… Thank you! ”
"Oh."
……
After leaving Li Xiaoning's house.
Lu Xun very skillfully went to several prosthetic stores nearby.
White prostitution has some characteristic points.
Then move on to the next place!
It's still early to meet Wei'er at "see you at half past ten in the evening".
He's going to fix some traits and project the slimes.
Projecting slimes only requires 4,000 traits, which is quite cheap.
He's only a thousand points short of that.
But Lu Xun suddenly found that the civilian-grade prosthetics in the physical store in Jinghai City were almost finished being analyzed by himself.
There should be a lot of people on the market that I haven't analyzed.
But white prostitution is unlikely, many new types of prosthetics, you have to place an order, and people will ship them.
Lu Xun ran more than 30 prosthetic stores in a row before earning 0.12 "Daqi Master".
plus the remaining 1908 points before, this is barely enough for 4,000.
"Damn! Sure enough, you still have to kill people and explode equipment. ”
"If you follow the rules, you will grow too slowly. The wheels of war will not stop waiting for me! ”
While Lu Xun was fragmenting his thoughts, he found a hidden place to transform, virtualize, and escape.
Today has been changed to 8000 words, and there will be a chapter later.
