Chapter 190

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

But how is this possible?

The dwarf elder swore again and again that he was very clear about the importance of this thing. After obtaining the technology and drawings, he did not immediately call the dwarves to start construction, but planned to study it himself for a while.

In fact, even without his explanation, everyone would understand that the problem could not be his fault.

After all, no matter how powerful the new city is, it is impossible to complete its construction in just two days.

They must have known about the power grid technology in advance and carried it out secretly, and only revealed it openly today, in order to confuse them.

But……

"Only Luo and Buck know the technology behind this power grid."

Even someone as proficient in manufacturing as the dwarf elder had to study it on his own for a while after listening to Buck's explanation, not to mention that if the other party had "stolen" the technology, it would be impossible for them to develop it so quickly.

The system also said: "The ring you used to start the quest is the quest item he obtained but was unable to use."

Just before Hamk was about to unlock the industrial mission, the system fell asleep, so it was impossible for Hamk, who had not received any mission at all, to research these things on his own.

"I know you don't want to doubt him." Gerry sighed.

But at this point, Gerry still called Buck over.

After hearing the news, Buck seemed extremely shocked, but despite being shocked, he did not refute it immediately.

After all, only he and Luo knew this technology best. Luo was far away in the Elf Forest and had just recovered from his eyes, so he couldn't do anything.

The biggest suspicion naturally fell on him.

Buck was also a little hesitant.

"I have always had a good grasp of the drawings and related information. Under normal circumstances..."

He paused.

Apart from things like this, how could he talk about "normal circumstances"?

Buck lowered his eyes: "I don't know, maybe... maybe it really is me."

Gary frowned. "Don't talk nonsense! Since you took good care of the things, why would you think so?"

Lian Yun: "We didn't call you here to accuse you of anything. We just wanted to ask if there's any possibility. After all, they're capable of anything, and their abilities are probably no less than ours. It's very possible that they could steal information without anyone noticing."

Buck hesitated for a moment: "I think... I am a succubus, and the succubus I dealt with in Xincheng is far more powerful than me. Will he control me without my knowledge..."

That's a succubus that behaves strangely.

He took refuge in the new city and was able to follow the slaughter team to learn about Buck's village, but he also left Buck's life at a critical moment, and even left an illusion in their hiding place to prevent the orcs from returning to confirm.

Precisely because the other party is so strange and not completely bad, they cannot conclude that it was the other party who did it.

Lian Yun asked Gary to take Buck away and persuade him not to let Buck blame himself. After all, it was not yet determined what went wrong.

Then Lian Yun dismissed everyone.

She took Lina and Lana back to the house and opened the second letter again.

The letter was still in Barry's handwriting.

The letter said that they had only one idea - to kill Hamk and destroy the new city, without any conditions. If Lian Yun was willing, they could open the city gate at any time with the help of internal and external forces.

The other person's thoughts are almost revealed on paper.

The people in this organization seemed to hate Hamk so much that nothing would be a problem as long as he died.

And the help they offered was indeed a major problem in attacking the main city.

Because it has come to this point, they must lead the army to attack, and taking the city gate is the first and most important step.

One defense and one attack will inevitably consume huge manpower and material resources, and will inevitably result in the loss of many people.

Although the town can now mass-produce blood bottles and medicine bottles, it still cannot save everyone.

But if the gates of the new city are wide open, as long as they enter the city, the small town army with sufficient strength will not even be afraid of their tricks.

In fact, this is a sure-win deal.

Even if they broke their promise, Lian Yun's army could still attack Xincheng as planned.

Lian Yun finally picked up his pen and wrote a reply.

She was willing to "cooperate" and the time was set for tomorrow at noon.

The time was set and the war was about to begin. Lanna immediately deployed a battle plan. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the small town were teleported to Yuewan City through the teleportation array, ready to fight at any time.

In the early hours of the morning, several people who had not slept all night continued to discuss combat issues at the table.

There was a loud noise outside, and when a few people looked outside, they found it was Miao An.

Miao An escorted Luo back to the town. Now that he's back, then...

Lian Yun stood up and looked behind him.

As expected, the thin boy had removed the black veil covering his eyes, but his skin was still as pale. Even though his eyes were healed, he still looked fragile.

He stood under the street light, his light blue eyes flashing with soft light as he looked at Lian Yun.

"My lord, I'm back."

Lian Yun felt his wrist was a little tight, so he lowered his head and poked the system, asking it to tap lightly.

"Luo." Lian Yun walked up to him, his eyebrows curved, "You have beautiful eyes."

"Thank you, sir..." Luo looked at Lian Yun without blinking, unable to stop smiling, "I finally see what you look like."

Lina also came over and said with a smile: "How is it? Isn't my sister beautiful?"

Luo said softly, "It's just what I imagined."

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and suddenly he saw the little snake on Lian Yun's wrist, and paused slightly.

Lian Yun lowered his head and found that the little snake was also staring at Luo motionlessly, spitting out its tongue with an unfriendly attitude.

"What's wrong?"

Luo pursed his lips: "I always feel...somewhat familiar."

The little snake shrank back, saying in a serious tone, "Lianyun, stay away from him... No, control him!"

Everyone was shocked, but even Lana, who had always disliked Luo, did not move immediately.

Luo looked at everyone and stood there at a loss.

Lian Yun frowned: "Are you mistaken? Is there something wrong with Luo?"

Lina also quickly said: "Luo is a good man! He has been with us from the beginning!"

"At the beginning?" The little snake said coldly, "Do you know where he came from?"

Everyone was stunned.

They all knew that Luo had been exiled from the main city, especially those who knew Lanna's identity. They all thought that Luo, like Lanna, was exiled because of unfair treatment from the main city.

In addition, Luo had indeed lost all his memories, so they never thought about investigating Luo's origins.

Now when the system suddenly said this, Lian Luo was stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, he bit his lower lip and doubted himself.

"Do I have a question?"

The system's gaze locked onto his face. "I don't know if you remember anything, but I'm certain that no ordinary person would have Hamk's eyes."

"What?!"

Lina was furious: "You are talking nonsense! How could Luo!"

Lian Yun glanced at Luo, whose expression was dull, and lowered his head: "You haven't seen Hamk in hundreds of years."

The system was incredibly resolute: "Let alone hundreds of years, I would have recognized the person I chose even if they were thousands of years old. These are Hamk's eyes, authentic, the only one of their kind in the world."

"Weren't you just discussing why the new city has a power grid? Now we have the answer, right?"

"Only Buck and he know the whole story. If you exclude Buck, why didn't you think of him?"

...Of course it is impossible to suspect Luo.

He is blind and unable to act on his own, not to mention that the town's core facilities have all been greatly contributed by him.

If he was the traitor, why would he do so much to help the town?

"It seems you still don't understand Hamk's methods." The system shook its head. "Only he could come up with that."

He raised his head and looked at Luo: "You must have been carefully selected by him, maybe even targeted by him since birth. He values ​​your intelligence and ability. If you, with such extraordinary talent and gifts, have not become famous in the main city, then you must have been kept in captivity by him since childhood."

"He knows—he must know. He's on the other side of the world. Then we'll definitely find another 'savior' to complete the mission he once did, and the mission he didn't do."

This includes the power grid.

"Hamk must have waited a long time..." The little snake narrowed his eyes slightly.

"He almost received an industrial mission, so he naturally knew Luo's importance. But you didn't know that when you first met Luo. Only when you kept him at the beginning could you treat him as one of your own without any vigilance."

"He must have been worried that you wouldn't rashly leave an ordinary-looking boy behind. He also wanted to lower your guard—after all, some people had seen Hamk before. So he took a retreat as a pretext for advance and blinded the child first."

In this way, Lian Yun and the others would feel pity for him but would not be wary of him at all.

After spending a long time with Lian Yun, Lian Yun completed the forest mission and met the Elf Queen who possessed enormous healing power. He would definitely want Luo to heal his eyes.

"Hamke anticipated everything." The system's voice was heavy.

"Isn't that right? You didn't doubt him at all?"

Once Luo's eyes are cured, Lian Yun's mission will definitely have reached a critical point.

Even if it hasn't developed to that point yet, as long as no one recognizes Luo's eyes, he can continue to hide.

"Hmm... let me guess," the little snake paused, "seeing how you were so eager to deny it and refused to believe it just now, Hamk must have used other methods..."

"Like letting Luo get hurt?"

Everyone was silent.

It hit the mark on everything.

They finally understood why Luo was the only one injured in the orc tribe that day.

In order to lower their guard, Hamk constantly puts Lowe, who has his eyes, at a disadvantage.

This way no one will suspect Luo.

In fact, he succeeded.

Luo took a few steps back and bumped into the door frame.

He lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Sorry..."

"No, Luo, it's not your fault. You don't need to apologize." Lian Yun stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

How could she blame Luo? No one would blame him.

He has given so much to the town and just had his eyes healed, but was told that they were not his own eyes and brought trouble to the town.

Lian Yun knew that he was sadder than anyone else right now.

"Go back and have a good sleep, everything will be over."

Lian Yun opened his arms and hugged Luo, patting him on the back gently, "You must not blame yourself, otherwise you will fall into his trap."

Luo Hui hugged Lian Yun for a moment, then let go.

He looked at Lian Yun with shining eyes, as if he wanted to remember what Lian Yun looked like.

"Your Excellency is just like what I imagined. Your whole being is glowing." He raised the corner of his lips and looked at the people around him. "I won't get involved anymore."

He would not allow Hamk to use any useful information he obtained to do anything bad for the town.

Lian Yun forced a smile and nodded.

It was not until Luo disappeared around the corner that Lian Yun let out a long breath, looking tired.

"Everyone go back and rest, we will be busy tomorrow morning."

Without saying much, everyone left the house.

Only Lina and Lana were left.

Lina looked up and glanced at Lian Yun cautiously, then nodded to Lana and went upstairs to rest.

Lian Yun walked out the door, reached out and put the little snake on the system tree, then returned to the residence.

Lanna stood at the door and looked at her.

Lian Yun smiled palely, walked quickly towards Lana and hugged him tightly.

Lana silently embraced Lian Yun.

Lian Yun buried her head in his neck, her voice muffled and choked with sobs.

“How could it be…”

"Luo just got his eyes healed."

She didn't seem to react excitedly, but she was the saddest person and the one who could least accept this fact.

She tried every possible way to cure Luo's eyes and help him see again.

But not only was Luo being used, but even her emotional changes were part of the other party's plan.

What a terrible person...

"Lianyun."

Lanna's soft and gentle voice sounded in her ears.

"The purpose of him doing this is to disturb your mind."

"...Yes." Lian Yun loosened his arms, wiped away his tears, and took a deep breath. "I can't let him succeed."

"Everything will be fine. As long as I'm here, he won't fail."

Lian Yun encouraged himself, but Lana did not respond immediately.

The two entered the bedroom, Lian Yun slept on the bed and Lan Na slept on the fur.

The night was silent. Lian Yun suddenly turned over and looked at Lan Na. Lan Na, who was staring at Lian Yun's back, was caught red-handed.

"Lanna, what are you worried about?"

The two looked at each other, and Lanner was the first to look away.

"Is it because of what the system said two days ago?"

Having been touched upon, Lana no longer concealed it: "Yes, I can't forget it."

The system said that after everything is over, it will disappear... just like Lian Yun.

He had long known that Lian Yun came from another world, and perhaps he also vaguely felt that she would eventually leave here and return to her world.

He thought he could accept it.

Lian Yun is like a god who appeared out of nowhere to save the world. Every step she takes is for the world. Someone like her would never stop for herself.

But when this moment really came, Lanna was extremely panicked.

His feelings for Lian Yun far exceeded his so-called loyalty to God.

He longed for Lian Yun's embrace, wanted to see her every day, wanted to hear her voice...

He wanted to stay with Lian Yun forever.

"If... I mean if," Lanner said in a dry voice, "after this is all over, would you maybe stay?"

Lian Yun turned over and looked at the ceiling, clenching his fists again and again.

She didn't want Lanna to keep hope and end up disappointed.

"I won't."

Lana's Adam's apple moved and he swallowed back many of the words he wanted to say.

"If you can't stay, you must live."

Facing Hamk, who is so scheming, they will encounter many uncertain dangers tomorrow.

Lanna didn't ask her to stay, he just hoped she would be safe.

"Your world must be very nice." Lanna said softly.

The town's current development is similar to how it once was in Lian Yun's world, and she has mentioned life in that world countless times.

Perhaps returning there is Lian Yun's true destination.

"Since I lost my village and them, I have no home." Lian Yun said suddenly.

"Until I came here, this residence has become my second home."

"I don't want to leave here."

"It's not because of my position here, nor because of these supernatural skills. It's because of you, you, Lina, Luo...you make me feel at home."

"But I had to go, you know."

Lian Yun lowered his voice.

"I can't be another Hamke."

The two of them lay there quietly. Lana listened to Lian Yun's steady breathing which gradually became regular, and unknowingly his mood calmed down.

Maybe he shouldn't ask for too much.

Maybe everything is the best arrangement.

The next morning, they were awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

Lanna put on his coat and opened the door, and Hera was outside.

Hera cried anxiously, pulling the two of them out: "Luo! He..."

"He blinded himself!"
