"Wuma Star is the star that knows how to judge the situation the most, and the Wuma Family is the family that knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm the most. Face and reputation are the most insignificant things to them."
This is the evaluation of Wu Ma Xing by the Hundred-Eyed Elf.
It also confirms the scene at this time.
"Just ask for anything you want. As long as it's within my ability, I will do my best to complete it." Wu Ma Fenghua was still sitting on the hammock, but he had turned around and faced Tu Ran. The determination in his eyes was almost overflowing, and he even raised three fingers to swear in the Blue Star way.
Tu Ran stood by the window. Tang Ying didn't come up, but was watching below.
Tu Ran stared at Wu Ma Fenghua. The other person's eyes were bright and clear enough to reflect her shadow, revealing a little bit of his plan. She could tell at a glance that her thoughts were still there.
He tilted his head slightly and glanced at the hallucinogenic mushrooms emitting a halo on his shoulder.
It didn't work.
Hallucinogenic mushrooms are useless against the Wuma aliens?
Tu Ran calmed down, fixed his eyes on Wu Ma Fenghua, and slowly walked towards her.
Her action caused Wu Ma Fenghua's body to shrink back almost imperceptibly.
"If you have something to say, talk it over nicely. Don't use force." Wu Ma Fenghua crossed his arms in front of him to protect himself.
Tu Ran frowned. Just at this moment, the dazzling hundred-eyed elf in the corner attracted her attention. It was flying around in a mess and no one knew what it was busy with.
Maybe... Wu Ma Fenghua had known of her existence for a long time and already knew something about her.
This bright boiled egg has told Wu Ma Fenghua everything.
Tu Ran stopped and stood two steps away from the hammock where Wu Ma Fenghua was.
"Take me to the tribute in twelve days, as the only attendant you can bring."
Tu Ran began to mention the purpose, and Wu Ma Fenghua breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, but you have to tell me your plan."
"Impossible." Tu Ran refused directly. Everyone knew that the Wu Ma family was loyal to the ruler.
"She wants to kill Hache Sanda."
An urgent voice came from the corner, and the source of the voice was the shiny ball.
Tu Ran: “…”
She subconsciously clenched her fists and glared at it, wanting to kill it.
But physical damage is useless to the Hundred-Eyed Elves. The only way for them to die is to not be fed with questions. Without answers to questions for a long time, they will become weak and eventually die.
The Hundred-Eyed Elf is more eager to be asked questions than anyone else.
Wu Ma Fenghua smiled charmingly after getting the answer. She stood up from the hammock and gracefully adjusted her skirt that almost reached the ground. "Kill Ha Qie Bu Lu? That's a good idea. I've been fed up with him for a long time. But what's your specific plan? I'll help you calculate the success rate."
Tu Ran said nothing, staring at her with her bright smile that seemed selfless, and moved his fingers hanging inside his black robe.
How can I make her obey orders quietly?
Psychedelic mushrooms don’t work.
Turn into her? The Hundred-Eyed Elves will see through it. Hatche Bulu must have a lot of Hundred-Eyed Elves.
How about feeding her some incurable poison? Threaten her again?
This is also unlikely. If there is an antidote for this poison, the Hundred-Eyed Elf will definitely tell her the antidote. If there is no antidote for this poison, she knows that she will die no matter what, and will not be obedient.
Tsk, the hundred-eyed elf is such a big trouble.
Tu Ran gritted her teeth in annoyance.
While Tu Ran was thinking about these questions, his eyes were always fixed on Wu Ma Fenghua.
Wu Ma Feng Hua was stared at with horror, and he touched his hair with trembling fingers, "I have the entire Wu Ma Star behind me, so I have to think carefully. If I fail, you can escape alone, but the ruler has not found the way to Blue Star yet, so Blue Star will remain safe in the short term. But I can't escape, because there are millions of people on Wu Ma Star behind me, and they will all be buried with me."
As she spoke, her smile turned bitter.
Tu Ran suddenly took a step back, putting some distance between himself and the extremely beautiful woman.
She suddenly realized that Wu Ma Fenghua's attitude towards the ruler, or the attitude of the entire Wu Ma family towards the ruler, was not as loyal as the legend said.
They can't wait to destroy the ruler! Perhaps that's why when she asked the Hundred-Eyed Elf which faction she should represent, the Hundred-Eyed Elf told her to go to the city lord.
As the sacred objects of Wu Ma Star, the Hundred-Eyed Elves must know what Wu Ma Star thinks of its rulers.
"The Hundred-Eyed Elves will not lie. Whatever comes out of their mouths are the truth of the universe. However, there is only one exception. That exception is that the 78th head of the Wu Ma family used his own life to curse the Hundred-Eyed Elves. Until now, that curse is still remembered by all the Hundred-Eyed Elves." These were the words the Hundred-Eyed Elves said in response to Tu Ran when she questioned whether what the Hundred-Eyed Elves said was true.
Thinking about this now, Tu Ran suddenly realized that the exception might be: the Hundred-Eyed Elves could never expose Wu Ma Xing's disloyalty to the ruler.
Wu Ma Xing is subject to the ruler and offers 70% of the Hundred-Eyed Elves produced by Wu Ma Xing to the ruler every year. With so many Hundred-Eyed Elves falling into the hands of the ruler, if there had not been that curse, Wu Ma Xing's disloyalty that had been hidden for many years would have been exposed long ago.
So, the weak hundred-eyed elf knew that Wu Ma Feng Hua would help her! That's why he asked her to find Wu Ma Feng Hua! Seeing Tu Ran's ever-changing emotions, but not letting down her guard against her, Wu Ma Feng Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
She casually tossed her black hair back and sat back on the hammock, crossing her legs, looking elegant and noble. "Forget it, I won't pretend anymore. I won't embarrass you. I will help you. The Hundred-Eyed Elf has chosen you. What objection can I have?"
Her words confirmed Tu Ran's guess.
Tu Ran pursed her lips and did not respond.
Wu Ma Feng Hua turned her head and raised her pretty eyebrows, "You haven't figured it out yet, have you? How did you think such a rare species as the Hundred-Eyed Elf appeared in the small inn where you stayed? I sent someone to deliver it there."
"You've been targeting me since I entered the Border City?" Tu Ran asked.
"Of course, species with a danger warning level of five or above are too conspicuous. If I hadn't been there to protect you, your location would have been discovered by those rulers long ago."
Wu Ma Fenghua waved her hand, and the fat ball in the corner floated over and hovered above her palm. The halo was as soft as a ball of snow meringue, and it deformed slightly as it rose and fell.
"The hundred-eyed elf I arranged for you is its father. He's a little old, but reliable." Wu Ma Fenghua's voice was very gentle. The light emitted by the hundred-eyed elf on her palm shone on her face, making her even more beautiful.
If it were in the past, seeing such a beautiful person, Tu Ran would probably whistle and call her "beautiful sister".
Unfortunately, she didn’t have the energy to appreciate beauty now. In her eyes, Wu Ma Fenghua was just a negotiating partner.
The image of the hundred-eyed elf who took a long breath to speak every word appeared in her mind, and she thought to herself, so that's why.
"Since you sent it to me specially, why did you charge such a high fee?"
Wu Ma Feng Hua: "..." Hmm? Is this the time to discuss money? ! "If you can't even handle this little money, it means that your own strength is also..." She didn't say the rest of the words, but the way she looked at Tu Ran up and down showed her thoughts.
Tu Ran felt helpless. It seemed that she shouldn't be a law-abiding citizen. "As the city lord, are you encouraging me to burn, kill and plunder everywhere in the area under your jurisdiction?"
“Hmm…” Wu Ma Feng Hua was silent, and then he let go of the Hundred Eyes Elf and raised his eyes, “If that’s the case, you’re too lame.”
Tu Ran gave two dry laughs.
Wu Ma Fenghua felt that now was not the time to discuss such topics.
"I originally wanted to add fuel to the fire. No matter what you do, it's always detrimental to the ruling race. I like to help such dreams. I'll be happy if I can make things bigger and disgust those arrogant rulers. I never thought that the old hundred-eyed elf would take a fancy to you and ask you to come to me."
Tang Ying was still waiting downstairs. Tu Ran didn't want to waste time and asked directly, "Will you help?"
Wu Ma Fenghua slowly changed his posture, leaning against the ropes with a weak and boneless manner, and said earnestly, "It's not easy to kill Ha Qie Bu Lu, although your ability seems to be quite good now. I advise you not to be so impatient, at least before you fully understand Ha Qie Bu Lu."
Tu Ran frowned: "Your personality... is so unpredictable."
In the previous sentence, he was still hating the rulers to the core and was eager to watch the fun, but in the next second he turned into a veteran chess player, holding tea in his left hand and chess pieces in his right hand, leisurely saying things like "one step counts as ten steps".
Wu Ma Fenghua raised her lips and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment."
At this moment, a wisp of wind blew in from the window, and the ends of her hair curled slightly. Even though her hair was rough, she still felt its beauty.
"Tu Ran?"
"Tu Ran?"
Tu Ran suddenly regained consciousness and looked around with a quickened breath. She found the source of the voice. It was Wu Ma Fenghua.
"What did you do to me?" Why was she distracted?
Wu Ma Fenghua pushed the hair that was blown away on her cheeks behind her ears and joked, "Is it my beauty that has mesmerized you?"
Tu Ran had a gloomy face and couldn't smile.
She was sure that her distraction just now was not normal.
But when I looked inward, I found no changes or discomfort.
"Please ask your friend to come up and sit for a while. We will discuss the details of the plan to deal with Hatche Bulu." Wu Ma Fenghua said gently, "I have a hundred-eyed elf here. It's free."
Tu Ran: “…”
This conversation lasted for five hours, until the sky turned dark red and the shouting of the small vendors between the buildings of the magic cave became louder and louder, and then we knew that night had arrived.
Tu Ran and Tang Ying shuttled among the crowd and returned to their starting point.
