Chapter 159

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

When the city lord said this, everyone present heard it, including Alicia.

Alicia was stunned. When she came to her senses, Lian Yun had already hung up the call and stood up to go out.

She noticed the lord's serious expression, stood up hurriedly and grabbed Lian Yun's wrist.

"grown ups!"

Lian Yun turned around and looked at her hand, then looked at her again.

Alicia's eyes were filled with pleading tears: "I...I don't believe it was Mogo."

She turned and looked at the people around her, trying to get the same support.

But when the people around her looked at her, there was only solemnity in their eyes.

No one really understood Mogo's character like she did.

In fact, even though it was her, she still felt a little scared at this moment.

What if...what if what if, Mogo really changed?

By then it won't just be a matter of her trust.

The entire town, and seriously speaking, the three races will suffer.

Who can take this responsibility?

Alicia's hands gradually lost their strength, she let go of Lian Yun and sat back weakly.

She gently closed her eyes, suppressed her emotions, and tried to make her voice sound less choked: "Does the master have any other preparations?"

"What?" Lian Yun also sat down again, "You don't believe Mo Ge either?"

Alicia shook her head and said solemnly, "No, I will always believe in him. He and I grew up together. Although we have been apart for many years, a person's fundamental character will never change."

"And we are each other's only family. If we don't trust each other, who else will?"

But she couldn't let everyone else take a gamble just because of her trust.

Lian Yun seemed to be observing her expression, his fingers tapping on the table intermittently, as he said casually, "I don't have any second-hand preparations."

Alicia was shocked.

"Then what should we do?"

Lian Yun didn't answer immediately, but asked her: "Do you still remember Mogo's childhood?"

Alicia didn't understand for a moment, but she quickly responded: "I can try to remember some."

"For example, if he has no parents, who will raise you?"

Alicia pursed her red lips and reminisced, "We were all raised by our family and lived in a castle since childhood... There was no designated caregiver. Maids and servants took care of us, and different teachers came to the castle at fixed times every day to teach us and train our physical fitness."

If someone must be involved...

Alicia tried hard to think in the direction of Lian Yun's question.

“…Everything is provided by the patriarch.”

This included the castles they lived in, the funds for their upbringing, and the tacit approval of all these activities.

If the patriarch does not agree, these things will not happen.

Seeing Lian Yun nodded after hearing this, Alicia continued to recall.

"The clan leader... none of us has ever seen him. Or rather, we are not qualified to see him."

When these words came out, even Alicia herself was stunned.

"Why?" Lian Yun pressed on. "As a member of the Hewlett family, why would you use the word 'unqualified'?"

Not to mention that the Hewlett family is a famous and prestigious family in the main city, even among the elves, a race as large as this, everyone knows the queen when she is mentioned.

It's impossible without having met.

Not qualified?

It's even a bit too noble.

"Doesn't your family have any special holidays or meetings? Have you never met each other even once?" asked Gary from the side.

"Even though I left the dwarf tribe a long time ago, I often saw the dwarf leader when I was a child."

Alicia recalled it carefully again and shook her head: "No, really not."

But after they mentioned this, Alicia suddenly felt that the patriarch of the Hewlett family was indeed a little suspicious.

Lian Yun tapped his fingertips on the table. "First of all, this system of selecting an heir is incomprehensible."

Only one is chosen and the rest are eliminated.

Even if they were not his own flesh and blood, this legendary patriarch was cruel enough to do such a thing.

Especially since the requirement for this one in a million heir is not to be excellent in all aspects, but to be... an obedient heir.

Lian Yun stopped what he was doing and looked at Alicia.

"The Hewlett family has long operated in this authoritarian, ruthless way. Coupled with the attitudes we've seen from both the nobles and the Magicians' Association towards the Hewletts, I think it's difficult for anyone to interfere in the Hewlett family's internal affairs."

"And if there is such a person who can restrict the actions of the only heir of the Hewlett family or control his thoughts..."

Lian Yun raised his eyes.

"Who else could it be besides the patriarch?"

Alicia was stunned: "Your Excellency is saying that Mogo is controlled by Chief Hewlett?"

She subconsciously wanted to argue, but she also realized that this seemed to be the most likely outcome.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

They had thought about it more than once that the person they were facing might be a stranger they had never met before, but as for the family behind Mogo, one of their allies... they really had never thought that the enemy would suddenly appear in such an identity.

It was a mysterious thing that no one had ever seen before, not even his own family.

Lian Yun felt a little uncomfortable, just like when he encountered a difficult and uncertain problem before. He was in a passive situation, but every choice he made would determine the subsequent direction.

If she chooses to believe Mogo, she will have to bear the consequences of her wrong choice for all the people and things behind her.

But if you think about it carefully, she and Mogo had only met twice.

If she didn't trust Mogo, she would have to face the main city head-on.

Lian Yun didn't want to take shortcuts. She just wanted to try her best to reduce the number of casualties and minimize the damage the war brought to the land and people.

In addition, she had to be prepared for Mogo not to rebel.

If there is a one in ten thousand chance that Lian Yun fails to show up on time, and he and the puppet have already taken action, it will be easy to capture the rebellious puppet and a young master in the heavily guarded main city.

While the only heir of the Hewlett family might have a chance to escape, those puppets have no second chance.

Everyone understands what Lian Yun is struggling with now, and all they can do is wait for Lian Yun's choice.

The fifth day before the war.

The Lord of Jiaota City urgently called Lian Yun through the voice crystal.

Lana put down the work in his hands and found Lian Yun as soon as possible.

Establish contact with Buck, Gary, and Iko in the living room on the first floor.

The other side said that they had received a "heartbroken and threatening" letter from the main city, which warned them half-inducingly and half-threateningly not to make the "wrong" choice.

Not long after, the city of Buli Lake also received the same letter, but the wording was milder and even offered some "tempting" conditions.

This shows that they are more interested in recovering the rich backup resource base of Buli Lake City.

It seems that the main city has realized the rise of the small town, the legendary base of the "Sun and Moon Cult", and its recent moves to expand its territory.

And began to take nervous countermeasures.

But these measures were too late.

With the help of many parties, the town with the industrial buff has developed comprehensively.

The roads from the mine to the town and from the town to the orc tribe have been completely opened up. Luo made the prototype of a train and used the buoyancy of flying rocks to create a simple version of a suspended train that can only transport goods.

Except for the need for improvement in direction and stability, everything else is perfectly in line with Lian Yun's impression.

Lian Yun had never expected that something new that had just been researched in his own world could be researched so quickly in this strange continent.

With Luo, nothing is a problem.

Now, let alone the already independent Buli Lake City, even the Jiaota City, which has been a little shaken, is eager to completely draw a line with the main city after seeing the rapid development of the small town.

So after Jiaota City received the letter from the main city for the second time, Lian Yun did not let them deal with it coldly like last time.

This time, Lian Yun no longer hid herself. She asked the lords of the two cities to write back openly, telling them her choice and Lian Yun's determination to fight.

Of course, the kind Lian Yun also suggested the possibility of not fighting - unless they admitted defeat.

And the main city responded faster than ever.

At the same time they received the letter, they sent out an elite team, which sneaked into Jiaota City in the middle of the night and planted two flags, one black and one white, on Jiaota, the landmark building of Jiaota City.

It symbolizes the nobility and the Magician's Guild.

It is both a demonstration and a warning.

The next day, the Lord of Jiaota City was so frightened when he received the information that he reported it to Lian Yun immediately.

He narrated the experience of being frightened in a very moving way, but the other party's indifferent response made him a little sad.

Despite his sadness, he still tried to explain himself: "Sir, it's not that I'm a coward. I've already had the guards strictly guarding the city gates, yet they were still able to get in! This shows that this team is truly not to be underestimated!"

He boasted that the guards in the city had undergone many days of rigorous training and would at least not let the enemy slip away from under their noses easily.

It seems that the main city has made a lot of efforts.

"I've searched the entire city, but we still haven't caught them!" The city lord said with a bitter face, "What if they break in while I'm sleeping tonight and stick a flag on my head...!"

"It's just a small matter!" The city lord quickly and cleverly changed the subject. "If they sneak into the town, your safety will be threatened!"

Lian Yun hummed twice, as if he was saying something to the person next to him.

Seeing that she had no other reaction, the city lord tentatively said, "How about you send some powerful people to look for him?"

Lian Yun said firmly: "No need."

The Lord of Jiaota City felt nervous: "Sir..."

Lian Yun stood up and followed Lanna to the door of the house. Looking at the tied-up "Elite Team" lying on the ground, he said to Bao Shi in a gentle voice, "They've been caught."
