Chapter 137
===================
"...What? No, sir, you are mistaken."
"Actually..." Fang Suo pondered for a moment.
In an effort to solve the food problem for the town, she did go to Buli Lake City first, but unfortunately she ran into a wall. On her way back, she went to Jiaota City to find the mayor with a try-it attitude, and she didn't expect that the deal would be settled as soon as she talked to him.
"What's going on?"
"I remember you said that Buli Lake City has the least connection with the main city and should be the easiest to persuade."
"The Lord of Buli Lake City is an old man about the same age as Gerry," Fang Suo explained. "He's gentle, but incredibly stubborn."
When she mentioned that a natural disaster had occurred in her city, the Lord of Buli Lake was very willing to give out some of his inventory to help them overcome the difficulties.
But when Fang Suo continued to mention that he hoped they could form an alliance with the small town, assuming that a war would break out soon and accidentally affect Buli Lake City, the city lord suddenly changed his expression.
Fang Suo was helpless: "He doesn't want his people to be affected by the war."
She had to spend a lot of time to convince the other party "calmly" that the town did not use the supplies to start a war, but the other party still retracted their previous promise.
Lian Yun: "Sounds like an extreme pacifist."
"If it were normally like this, there wouldn't be any problem. But under the current circumstances..."
It's not that she can avoid war just because she doesn't want it.
Avoidance will only show the other party as timid.
What's more, I am too passive now. The safety of the town can only be guaranteed layer by layer through intensive training.
Lian Yun was even thankful that no artillery weapons had been developed yet, otherwise she would definitely be worried day and night about when the newly built city wall would be destroyed.
"So does Bulli Lake City really have no chance at all?"
"No," Fang Suo stared into Lian Yun's eyes and shook his head. "I described you very sincerely and carefully as the lord of this small town."
Maybe it's because Fang Suo doesn't look like someone who can lobby.
Therefore, every word she said was the truth spoken from the heart after careful consideration.
"He believed it."
"He said he would carefully consider which side to join, because he also realized the seriousness of the current situation from what I said, and he had long been fed up with the main city's laissez-faire attitude."
In fact, the supplies from Buli Lake City will be a huge help. If they make a decision, it will definitely provide one side with huge backup resources.
But he never expected that a force would suddenly rise in just a few months, and it came from the barren desert!
"He must have some request." Lian Yun asked in a deep voice.
At that age, he was firmly seated in the position of city lord and definitely knew how to seek benefits for himself and Buli Lake City.
Moreover, facing an old fox with a brain, Lian Yun felt that he might not have the power to trade with him.
Fang Suo was silent for a moment.
"He requested to see you."
"?"
"To see me?"
Fang Suo: "I know you can't leave your small town and go to a strange city. Even in such a peaceful city, I noticed in just two days that their security couldn't be more perfect. To be honest, I even asked him for training experience."
Buli Lake City is definitely an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place with strict security and should not be underestimated.
"I'll go." Lian Yun said suddenly.
Fang Suo opened his mouth, but still shook his head: "I'm not saying this to persuade you to go."
"I know." Lian Yun looked at her, "I know I'm going."
"Sir..." Fang Suo frowned in disapproval, but was interrupted by the man behind the girl who raised his hand.
"Lanna? What's wrong with you?"
Fang Suo believed that Lanna had always been a clear-headed person. Even though he would often obey Lian Yun's orders unconditionally, he would always persuade the adults to change some incorrect and risky ideas.
Why are both of them confused?
"I think the Lord should step forward." Lanna said calmly.
Although the main city is ruled in a mess, it still has a foundation of hundreds of years. No matter how bad it is, there will always be people supporting it, a well-trained army, and material reserves that can definitely rival those of a small town.
The last item can not only meet the needs of wartime military soldiers, but also ensure the daily lives of ordinary people, and thus ensure the normal operation of other non-war zone towns.
This is important, no matter which side it is.
Even though they are making preparations for the first two items and putting them on the agenda, and even have Luo helping the town to speed up its operation and development, the development results will not appear quickly.
If they were forced to go to war tomorrow, they would be at a great disadvantage.
This is an indisputable fact.
"Buley Lake City is a key node."
Lanner analyzed, "As long as we get the support of Buli Lake City, we can basically keep pace with the main city's pre-war preparations."
Although it is only barely consistent, it is still very rare.
"I think so too." Lian Yun nodded.
"There is no time to hesitate. You lead the way and we will set off tomorrow." Lian Yun said finally.
Fang Suo just felt a headache.
For her, ensuring Lianyun's safety was more important. After all, it was easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it was hard to find a good general. Lianyun was a good lord and the backbone of the town.
But since she has made up her mind, I can't refute it.
"How is it?" Lian Yun curled his lips.
"What can I do?" Fang Suo said expressionlessly, "Should I let you go by yourself?"
Lian Yun smiled and patted her shoulder: "Thank you very much, go and have a rest."
"What about you? You just came back from the main city. Where are you going?" Fang Suo glanced at her up and down. "I won't be able to find you tomorrow, right?"
Lian Yun's smile froze: "How could I be so unreliable!"
"In the small town."
She dragged Lanna and Lina to the cabin where Honey now lived.
Honey seemed to have just returned to the room. She was standing on tiptoe to pour herself some water from the table. When she heard the door open, she turned around and saw the three people.
Honey grinned, "You're here!"
She took the water cup and handed it to Lian Yun: "Sister, drink it!"
Lian Yun smiled and shook his head, then returned the water to her: "I don't want to drink it. How have you been lately?"
"Great! I'll go back to the classroom and learn everything from them. Magic is really fun! Even though I don't know how to do it, it's fun to watch Hera and the others perform it!"
Seeing that they were still looking at her, Honey pursed her lips and continued, "Bernie... I think Bernie should follow his own ideas. I hope Bernie is well, not that he should stay here for me."
She glanced at Lian Yun cautiously. "I know what that fisherman meant by 'confused consciousness'. I felt the same way when I was thrown into the basement."
It was because she felt it and understood Bernie's pain that she thought of giving him freedom.
...this lovely girl.
Lian Yun touched her soft hair and squatted down again.
Honey was about to say something else, but suddenly stopped.
Her bright eyes quickly filled with tears, which fell with a slight blink.
"Mother……"
The three of them were stunned.
Alicia followed them back?
Lian Yun subconsciously turned around and saw nothing.
"It's my mother's scent!" Honey suddenly rushed towards Lian Yun, hugged her neck tightly, and tears flowed down her face uncontrollably.
It took Lian Yun a while to find his voice again: "What did you say? Honey?"
She tried to keep her voice as quiet as possible so as not to scare Honey.
"It's...it's my mother's scent..." Honey finally came to her senses, put down her arms, and answered intermittently while wiping her tears.
"Sister, you smell like mom!"
"I won't admit my mistake!" Honey bit her lower lip, and her crying pink little face looked very pitiful.
The scent of her body?
Lina reminded quietly: “Sister, is it that room?”
Ah...yes.
Lian Yun didn't smell any obvious fragrance on Alicia, but she and Lina stayed in the room that emitted the fragrance during the time they were negotiating with the other party.
It is said that it is a perfume specially prepared with the tears of a succubus, made into a coating and painted on the wall.
But how could it be Alicia's...
Lian Yun raised his head suspiciously and looked at Lana questioningly.
The latter nodded silently.
Alicia is a succubus?!
If she remembered correctly, this was the fourth succubus she had encountered?
Buck, Fiona, and a succubus who showed mercy to Buck.
Isn't it said that succubus are elusive and rare in number?
How come she encountered four of them after just being here for so long?
Lian Yun didn't actually think the succubus was bad, but it was because of the shadow cast upon him by the moment they met...
Buck secretly observed himself in the middle of the night, Fiona couldn't control her power, and she created an illusion of a fake Lanna...
How did she meet him?!
Furthermore...
Lian Yun looked at Honey who was wiping her tears silently without leaving any trace.
The little girl is cute and honest from the inside out.
It's totally unlike the succubus' usual appearance.
Not to mention the naturally charming Alicia and the beautiful and flamboyant Fiona, even Buck, the male succubus, has a certain charm.
And if Honey had succubus blood, Fiona and Buck would have sensed it as soon as she entered the town.
"Sister, have you seen my mother?" Honey was still holding back her tears, waiting for an answer bravely.
Lian Yun gently touched her little face.
"Want to see mom?"
"You'll see her this time next week."
"Really!?" Honey's eyes seemed to burst with fireworks, and a big smile immediately appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Lina also laughed: "We met your mother today! Your mother is so beautiful! She asked us to find you anxiously. She was very worried about you."
"I knew it..." Honey was about to cry again.
Lina quickly tried to make amends: "Don't cry anymore! If you keep crying, your eyes will be swollen. By next week, your mother will be very distressed when she sees it!"
Honey nodded heavily and wiped the last of her tears: "I will wait for my mother to come back!"
The little girl went to Bernie and told him the news.
Lian Yun slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, we need to prepare gifts for visiting Buli Lake City.
This negotiation is very important to them, she must show the utmost sincerity and make full preparations.
Not long after they returned to their residence, they suddenly heard the sound of crutches hitting the ground.
Lian Yun felt a chill on his back, smiled stiffly, and turned around.
Gerry stood at the door with a dark face.

The author has something to say:
Gerry: Today's food expenses... one person, two people... (Another gray hair)
Fang Suo: I’ve sent someone to you!
Gerry:……!!

P.S. Although Gary is older, he is in better shape than a nerd like me! orz
