Chapter 154

===================

The number of underground puppets is not small, and seven-eighths of them is a considerable number.

Yi Ke suddenly became serious: "Don't talk about helping or not, we are all family."

Everyone: "...As expected of you."

The man forced a smile, as if trying to express goodwill: "Think...?"

It seems that he is even more impatient than Lian Yun.

Lian Yun soothingly told him not to worry.

In fact, before Lian Yun came, he had already listed various possibilities in his mind.

There are both best and worst case scenarios.

However, so many puppets that already have independent consciousness... really surprised her.

"My original idea was to let you leave with me." Lian Yun said.

Until she knew that the puppet summoner was no longer here, and the number of puppets was so huge...

"You can communicate with them, right?"

The man nodded: "They... pretend well."

Lian Yun smiled and said, "I see."

With so many people staring at them, they couldn't see anything wrong. Furthermore, the man was so cautious, perhaps someone had tested them before.

No matter what, they didn't reveal any flaws.

It also facilitates Lianyun’s subsequent plans.

"I have one last question," Lian Yun said, "Why didn't you die on your own initiative and return to your world?"

Before the man could answer, Alicia quickly said, "I know that!"

"Bernie told me they can only die during the summoner's mission."

For example, if Bernie is sent to chop down a tree, they may be accidentally killed by the axe.

For example, if you fish at number 1685, you can be eaten by fish.

But these puppets were sent to pull the cart...the chance of death was too small.

The man nodded with a serious expression.

It is for this reason that he needs the help of Lian Yun and others.

He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Alicia paused: "...He hopes that we can kill them."

Lian Yun raised his eyebrows: "Then what benefits can I get?"

The man was stunned and slowly lowered his head.

Obviously, they have nothing to offer in this "deal".

"Don't be so pessimistic. The only thing you have is the only thing I need." Lian Yun changed the subject.

The man was confused.

They come empty-handed and leave empty-handed, with nothing to offer in this world.

Apart from……

Their lives.

The man tilted his head, but the girl in front of him just said that she would not get anything.

"Even puppets must die, but I will not let you die for your summoner."

Lian Yun's smile deepened: "Your lives must be lived out for a good cause."

The man probably understood what Lian Yun meant, but he also seemed not to understand it very well.

He nodded in mock seriousness.

As long as the girl can help them get rid of it, they can do anything, but...

Lian Yun saw his hesitation.

"I know you can only do the summoner's tasks."

"I'll have him send you off personally. And then... believe me, leaving will be easy."

The man felt relieved and looked seriously into the girl's calculating eyes: "Wait for you."

Lian Yun and his companions quickly said goodbye to the man and told him that a person holding a blue crystal would come to find him and he only needed to contact that person.

The man was wearing a black robe and did not attract much attention. He quickly walked towards the underground street.

The streets were in chaos, and the farce that had just happened had come to an end.

This time the man in white robe is much smarter than Larry.

Lian Yun thought, as expected, Yi Ke’s IQ is just the average level of the Magicians Association.

They have realized that the commotion just now was deliberately created by them to confuse the public and to help them escape.

It seemed that he also knew that the people from the Sun and Moon Sect had come through the auction house several times before, and their departure was no exception.

The man in white robes then guessed their direction and headed towards the underground street without making a sound.

Several people were standing on the street, watching them.

Alicia said thankfully, "Fortunately, I didn't go down."

Otherwise it will be extremely difficult to get out again.

"Where do we go next? Back to Third Street?"

Everyone subconsciously looked at Yi Ke, who tried hard not to get angry: "Really? You don't really want me to go back?"

He had just shown his face. If he dared to show up at this time, he would definitely attract the attention of both parties at the same time.

Lian Yun smiled slightly and did not continue to scare him: "Let's go back to the town."

She turned her head and met Alicia's expectant eyes: "Let's go back."

They found a small hotel and chose a room with a small space and small windows.

The innkeeper handed over the key with a bewildered look on his face, watched the four people squeeze up the narrow stairs, and looked at a gold coin in his hand.

Are you rich or poor?

He stood still in the room and locked the door.

Sure enough, not long after, a golden light appeared on the wall.

Lian Yun turned around and extended his hand to Alicia: "Are you ready?"

Alicia suppressed her trembling hands, bit her lower lip and nodded: "Yeah."

Several people walked through the door one after another, until they all appeared in the store, and then the wooden door disappeared out of thin air, as if it had never existed.

Apart from the four of them, the only things in the store were the filled shelves and a few chairs they had pulled over to sit on before leaving.

The room was quiet. Lian Yun walked to the door and gently pushed it open.

Outside the store, there were circles of people, resting quietly here, waiting for everyone to return.

In the front row were Lena and Honey, and behind them was Bernie.

"Sister!" Lina shouted first and ran towards Lian Yun.

Lian Yun squatted down and hugged Lina tightly.

Lina's eyes were glistening with tears, but her smile was joyful.

They came back, which means they were successful.

Bernie and Honey's eyes were fixed on Lian Yun's back. Lian Yun took Lina's hand and made way.

"Mom!" Honey froze in place, blinking her eyes again and again, as if she couldn't believe she was seeing things.

Alicia's nose felt sore, and all the anxiety and tension she had felt along the way were released at this moment, and she could no longer hold back her tears.

She walked towards Honey, and Honey came to her senses and ran towards her desperately.

The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly. Alicia gently stroked Honey's back and her hair, confirming over and over again that her daughter was really in her arms.

During those agonizing days of waiting, she had often wondered if her daughter had really met with misfortune. Every time she thought of this, her heart ached.

She didn't dare to think about it too much. If she thought about it again, she would hate herself over and over again for why she was so decisive in keeping her daughter.

Even if that was the only way out at the time.

But if anything really happened to Honey, she would never forgive herself.

Honey lay in Alicia's arms, her little head resting on her mother's neck, her arms around her mother's neck, looking like a sloth, refusing to relax at all.

Alicia held her up and stood up, looking at Lian Yun with gratitude.

"You guys go and rest first, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow." Lian Yun said gently.

Alicia nodded seriously and looked at Bernie: "You've worked hard."

"It's not hard. I'm glad you're back." Although Bernie didn't show any expression, his eyes were full of respect when he looked at Alicia.

After Alicia left with her daughter and Bernie, Lian Yungere nodded.

The latter visibly breathed a sigh of relief and asked Buck to disperse the crowd while he followed the others towards the tavern.

A few people sat down. When Ai Bei was serving the dishes, he saw them at a glance and ran over happily: "You are finally back!"

Lian Yun smiled: "Why does it seem like we've been away for a century?"

Abe: "I don't care, you must try the new dish I developed!"

After saying that, he ran back to the kitchen.

Abe really likes cooking. Now the crops brought back from the Elf Forest are gradually growing and maturing, and the scale of planting is constantly expanding. Abe's recipes have added many more ingredients.

Now, apart from cooking, he is also developing new menus, and he enjoys it.

"How is it?" Everyone withdrew their gaze, and Gary couldn't wait to ask Lian Yun.

Lian Yun took out the experience book.

All the information she obtained from the main city was recorded on it, and she also told all her plans without reservation.

"Although the Lord of Buli Lake City advised me against the puppet path before, you all know my character." Lian Yun smiled embarrassedly, "I never really wanted to give up."

"Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing."

Lian Yun opened the task panel as he spoke.

The word "Completed" has been marked on the "Racial Dispute (II) - Establishing an Army" above.

The town’s army has taken shape.

Bubu Town now has backup resources, effective healing potions, and a well-trained army.

Not only did he have allies from the three cities, but even the orcs and elves had formed a united front and fought side by side with him.

In fact, it seems that they are fully capable of having the chips to fight against the two major forces in the main city.

But Lian Yun always felt that it was not enough.

What she wanted was fewer casualties, greater advantage...preferably an overwhelming victory.

This will be the best outcome for both parties, at least for ordinary people.

And if you want to go further...

“We have to win from within.”
