Chapter 985: Decided to give up E7&E8
"What is Lyman?" Sure enough, although the old Sir Victor showed a rather puzzled look, although he did not say the above lines himself, his expression conveyed the above meaning very vividly.
"The leader of a slave hunting team, in Cape Storm and Nolda's generation, is still a little famous. He was a very capable bounty hunter, and then changed his career to form a slave hunting team. It's normal that you don't know. For the backbone of a huge black business network, it is impossible to know the name of each of its nodes and branches. Lu Xi sneered: "However, most of these slave catchers who have been operating in the Cape of Nora Storm are a Begley Chamber of Commerce registered in Gloren Harbor, and the boss is a Thousand Islands named Begley. ”
At this point, old Sir Victor couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.
"You, are you avenging Nolda? But ......"
"But after the Begley Chamber of Commerce was wiped out by the Norda War Dancers, you have shown enough sincerity. As the Black Gate Chamber of Commerce behind Begley, that is, the Dalester family, although they did not admit their relationship with Begley, they gave us the Norda Development Group a compensation of 10 million bakers, plus the heads of the twelve masterminds, through a third party and the Waujin Chamber of Commerce. All the elves that were captured by the slave team before were recovered. Each of the living people will receive 100,000 Baker's mental damage expenses, and the dead will also give their families a pension of 500,000 yuan. Norda accepted your approach, and the matter was over. Is that so? ”
Without waiting for the other party to answer, Lu Xi said again: "Yes, we have already found out." Begley is a retainer of your family of Dalest, responsible for the 'supply' of slaves on the periphery, and his main business direction is the countries of Cape Storm. Because there is a lot of war there, of course, the supply is very abundant. However, what you didn't expect was that Grumman, who was in charge of the slave trade network at the time? Dalest, your third son, in order to compete for favor and for a more beautiful profit statement, has made Li Zhi dizzy and wants to add some particularly high-grade 'goods'. He instructed Begley privately to get the idea out of the Nolda elves. Who would have thought that less than a month after the launch of what they thought was a covert operation, it would attract Nolda's vigilance and the ensuing all-out retaliation. Not only did the War Dancers wipe out the entire Begley Chamber of Commerce, but they even sent troops to surround the port of Gloren and force the Federation to explain...... In this case, you are really a strong man who broke his wrist, not only mobilized cash that was almost a cut of meat, but also caused your nephew's family to 'commit suicide'. can bend and stretch, this is the real **** overlord. ”
Old Sir Victor closed his eyes slightly. That time was the biggest crisis since he became the head of the family, not only bearing the threat of Nolda, but also bearing the criticism and accusations of his allies, that is, those federal tycoons. For the sake of the family, he could only deal with this matter with the most resolute and resolute iron fist, and he would be so ruthless that no one had anything to say.
However, reason and emotion are two different things. The taste of wiping out his son's whole family with his own hands is something that only he can experience, and it is really not enough for outsiders.
"In a sense, Dalest's own family is just a fool of the foolish sons and pig teammates, and you are not the mastermind yourself. Now that they have lowered their posture to this point, Noorda and the Druid Order will certainly have nothing to say. Lu Xi shrugged: "Don't worry, compared to humans, elves don't disdain to lie in this situation." Since they said that this is the end of the matter, naturally they will not retaliate for it......"
"However, I'm not an elf, and I never said I would stop retaliating!" Lu Xi showed a sunny and bright smile, but in the eyes of the old Dalester family master, he let his whole soul fall into the ice cave.
"I grew up in Norda, and you should know this information, so I volunteered to be an undercover agent. At that time, operating near Norda was a slave hunting team led by the mafier Lyman. That guy used to be a bounty hunter and adventurer, and he had a little bit of a comradeship with the Nolda elves, and he had also traveled deep into the forest, so he was a good fit. I was caught by them and locked up with a group of slaves from Cape Storm. Then, there was the pain of my life...... The world is wonderful, black and white are intertwined into gray, and human nature can be as vile as it can be, but how great it can be. Lu Xi sighed: "A small black door, a mere Begley, and a son of the Dalrest family?" This sacrifice is far from satisfying me. At that time, I made up my mind that the Dalrest family must die, and no one will be spared. As for the Arcane giants who provide an umbrella for your slave trafficking network, you can't let go of any of them. ”
"Once the arrow is fired, there's no turning back. So, you and your family are just the beginning. Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders lightly and said in a reasonable tone: "Now you know, why did I let you live until now, right?" ”
Just to declare victory, to see the wails and indignation of the "losers"? There may be a little bit of bad taste, but it's certainly not so superficial.
"Your relationship with the Savi family is almost well known at the top of the Federation. It's almost an open secret that you've been making a lot of political donations to many of the high-ranking officials of the federal gatekeepers, and you're running a black industry with income. But is that really all there is to it? A black (meow) Dao giant chief of Neosfia, in addition to those peripheral gangs and small ruffians, in addition to the collusion of the mercenary team, but also has a professional assassination force of 300 people in his hands. And what is it for? Just to protect yourself? Lu Xi smiled: "It's just a monetary transaction, but it's hard to explain, the elite battle mages of the Baltato and Gandino families will come forward to stand up for you and participate in the encirclement and suppression of me." Is that night owl in your hand still doing some wet work for those families once in a while? ”
"Although the alliance linked by interest and violence is strong, as a member of the alliance is by no means reassuring. As you said, ordinary people are like ants in the presence of extraordinary spellcasters. You're worried that you're going to be killed one day. And in order to form a minimum countermeasure against those spellcaster allies who wield extraordinary powers, there should be enough evidence, right? And it's hidden in your own head. ”
Lu Xi didn't have any evidence, it was just speculation. An old man of Sir Victor's age, of course, would not simply show his stuffing. He just looked at Lu Xi with a sneer and didn't say a word, as if he was looking at a whimsical madman.
However, Lu Xi's smile was even brighter, as if he had already won: "Of course, I didn't expect to break down your psychological defense line by relying on mouth cannons. However, no matter how strong-willed a person is, when I propose something, you will inevitably make involuntary associations. For a master of mind magic, this is also enough. Of course, I could have stopped talking so much nonsense with you at the beginning, and went straight into your memory to dig up what I wanted, but in that case, it would take too much time. My mall is about to open, my novels are selling well, my "Cats" is about to be staged, and I really don't have so much time to spend on the life of an old gangster who is dying. Only if you live a little longer, can I better torture the information I need! ”
At last, the old knight looked almost horrified.
"Evidence? Where is all your evidence of doing things for the federal giants? Lu Xi asked in a deep voice, and in a verbal way, he roared the above sentences directly into the other party's mind. Immediately, without waiting for the old knight to react otherwise, he had already stood up directly, reached out and pressed the other party's head, and began to cast a spell.
In the face of a high-level illusion like "Heart Like Senluo", which even gold-level masters can't escape, the old Sir Victor, who is just an ordinary person, certainly has no power to resist. Of course, just like Lu Xi said before, when you say the word "snow" to someone, the first scene in the other party's heart must be like heavy snow falling and snowy, and the top of the old sir's subconscious at this time immediately appeared in the memory scene of his collection of evidence.
Three minutes later, Lu Xi stood up and let go of his hand, and the old Victor's body collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his bones. He hasn't lost his breath yet, but his spirit and soul have been turned upside down by Lu Xi's spiritual power, and they have almost been annihilated. Even if he doesn't die, he's a complete vegetative person.
Lu Xi casually crushed the old man's head with his arcane hand, and set fire to the beams of the villa before getting up and leaving. He has already got everything he wants, even more than he imagined, and the other party naturally has no need to live.
The two leaders of the Dark Brotherhood, the former and current Whisperers, the kaleidoscopic Lady Asshad and the deadfish-eyed Mr. 7 are gone. They have completed the commission with Lu Xi, so naturally there is no need to continue to stay. Although it seems a bit rude to disappear without even saying hello, for practitioners in these special industries, the less frequent they appear under the sun, the better, and Lu Xi can still understand them somewhat.
In short, it is important to deal with such indispensable people and organizations who live in the cracks and shadows of the sun, to understand their choices, and to respect their customs. As long as we understand each other, we will be happy to work together and there will be a next time......
Yes, Lu Xi must say that he is very happy with the cooperation with the Dark Brotherhood this time. Although he does wish that he would never have to cooperate with them again in his life.
The leaders left, and the assassins of the Dark Brotherhood on the mountain naturally retreated, leaving only the drow elf troops directly under the wind. It is said that there are some hidden strongholds of Dalester in the forest, and even a secret passage leading directly to the hilltop manor has been discovered, and the inside is covered with cobwebs, like a labyrinth. It is estimated that it is also the last way of escape for the ancestors of Dalrest who knew that they had done all the bad things and left them for future generations.
In order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, these mobile units, which are composed entirely of drows, are estimated to spend a little more time hiding and hiding here. Of course, tracking ambushes and assassinations in a stealthy environment is also the specialty of the Drow Elves, even if it is not as good as the Dark Brotherhood, which has passed down the assassination technology for thousands of years, it is always much more reliable than being a fruit farmer and a flower farmer on the outer islands.
The most important thing is that because their status is now theoretically all retainers and tenant farmers of the wind, so it is enough to take care of the rations and a little pocket money, which is definitely good and cheap.
In fact, Lu Xi didn't expect to kill all of Dalester at once. This kind of century-old family rooted in the entire capital of the seven seas, the sense of touch has penetrated into all walks of life, even if one or two fish escaped in embarrassment, it is normal to stage a "prince's revenge" in the future. But even if it were, what could it be? As a protagonist, so many big things have been accomplished so far, and the enemies who want to break their bodies into thousands of pieces have already spread all over the world, in the heavens and the earth, what if there are more dead remnants of a group of underworld families? When they were still the overlords of the Black (Meow) Dao in the Capital of the Seven Seas, they still didn't take it seriously, let alone a group of fish who had lost all their power, status, and wealth, and survived?
Unless there is really someone in the group of fish who has slipped through the net, he has a great aura of atmospheric luck in his body, and he can suddenly enjoy the cheats of jumping off the cliff inexplicably, and he can get the protagonist treatment of the old man who leaks it. However, as long as the will of the great universe that created this world does not suddenly pump out of the brain, the probability of such a thing happening is infinitely close to zero......
Lu Xi thought about it like this, and walked slowly to the bottom of the mountain road, and then felt the extra breath of life behind him.
"It's Kalia, right? Has the city been quiet? ”
"Yes, Lord Luxi." The Drow Elven Assassin was not surprised at all that he would be discovered, but he knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and reported to Lu Xi in a calm tone: "The fighting in the city has basically stopped, all the important strongholds of the Dalrest family in Neosphia, the headquarters and the stations of the peripheral organizations have been wiped out, and the warehouses have all been taken over by our people. Although the battle caused a small commotion among the citizens, it was within the expected range. In addition, because the Great Holy Church had already sent a team of monks to maintain law and order, and the area where we were fighting was sealed off in advance, the damage did not extend to ordinary citizens. ”
"Huh...... Sister Waukin's order is pragmatic, and if it were Sister Uton or Sister Elune's Archbishop, it would not be so easy to reach a consensus. Lu Xi smiled: "However, I still need to pay a visit to Cardinal Gersinoan for some time." ”
"His Majesty Cardinal Gersinoan is now in the Lake Light Theater. He claims to be a fan of your novel The Great Bilby, and is naturally very interested in the first play you wrote, so he came to check it out. ”
“…… I'm really good at playing, Your Majesty the Bishop. The Lakelight Theater can't be surrounded by paladins and priests with knives, right? Lu Xi felt that he hadn't felt an accident for a long time, and suddenly became interested: "I will rush back as soon as possible." Also, Kalia, there's something you need to do. ”
"Please command."
"I want you to take someone to seal off the Merdene apartment in Burklyn as quickly as possible, and control a handyman named Bud. Remember, to be alive! (To be continued.) )
