Chapter 160
===================
Jiaota City Lord: “……?”
Lian Yun ended the call and squatted down to look at the people struggling to get up. "Do you regret it?"
Several people had their hands and feet tied up and struggled to break free, but they still turned their heads away and didn't look at Lian Yun.
Lanna gave a wink, and Jamie immediately led people to pull them up and forced their heads to look forward.
"I got paid to do something, so why would I regret it?" A man who looked to be about 25 or 26 years old, with a wound on his head, answered coldly.
Judging from his expression and response ability, this person should be the leader of this seven-member team.
The backpacks they were carrying were taken off and dumped aside.
Inside were several folded black and white flags, mixed together and not very clear.
"No regrets?" Lian Yun stood up and waved his hand expressionlessly.
"Kill him."
Seven people:!
Lanna raised his sword, and the leader's voice changed in fear: "Wait!"
"Don't you want to ask us something?!"
Lian Yun looked puzzled. "You guys seem so determined. I don't think I can shake you."
Man: ...why don't you at least try! ?
However, when he saw Lian Yun's half-smile, he instantly felt that his little thoughts were exposed, and turned his eyes away in shame and anger.
"So you still want to survive?"
The man lost all temper when Lian Yun asked him the question even though he knew the answer. "I do."
Lian Yun waved her hands again. Under the horrified gaze of the crowd, she smiled faintly: "Don't worry, write down everything you know and we'll talk about it when you come back."
After Jamie took the people away, Lian Yun looked at Xiaobai, who was blinking his big eyes at his feet and eager to seek praise, and reached out to hold it in his arms.
"Thanks to you, Xiaobai." Lian Yun rubbed its fur.
Xiaobai raised his head proudly and rubbed Lianyun's palm: "I'm super awesome!"
We were able to discover the whereabouts of these people thanks to the group of flying sand rats led by Xiaobai.
Xiaobai disappeared as usual last night. He went to lead a group of flying sand rats to fight in the desert, and discovered a group of sneaky and malicious people on the way.
Their movements were strange, careful and cautious. They didn't seem to be on guard against monsters that might pop out from time to time, but more like thieves who were afraid of being discovered.
Xiaobai subconsciously thought that the newcomers had bad intentions, so he led the group of flying sand rats to follow the crowd. Finally, when they kept getting closer, he confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with them.
So it contacted Lian Yun and led the group of rats to stop the team.
Immediately afterwards, Lanna led his men over.
When this team was captured, they had no idea why the rats only stopped them and didn't attack them, until they saw the white mutant flying gerbils as big as a hill, showing their terrifying sharp teeth at them one second, and then shrinking in the blink of an eye and flying into the girl's arms to act coquettishly and cutely.
"What do you think of the level of these people?" Lian Yun looked at Lana.
Lanna glanced at the direction those people left.
"To be sent out to do these things, one must have some skills."
After all, the heavily defended Jiaota City was not covered by a layer of paper, and no one could enter it casually.
The fact that they were able to plant the black and white flags on the Jiao Tower without anyone noticing showed that they had some abilities.
But there is always someone better than you. After professional training and instruction from someone like Lana who has almost maxed out combat abilities, the small town's army is much stronger than them in both combat skills and basic abilities.
"And they don't belong to the Magicians' Guild or the nobility."
This can be seen from the flags scattered on the ground.
If they were supporters of the Magicians' Association or the nobles, then according to the usual morals of these two organizations, these people should have jumped up the moment the flag was thrown to the ground.
But they didn't, not even a second glance.
Especially the sentence just now, "take money to do the job", which sounds like a combat machine without emotions. In fact, it is hinting to Lian Yun that their position is very simple - it is just an employment relationship. As long as you pay them, they can still do the job for you.
I also told her in a very real way - I have information, please send me money.
However, Lian Yun did not think that the information obtained so easily was worth believing.
Lian Yun looked in the direction they left.
"Does it say on my face that I'm stupid and rich, come quickly?"
Lina couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lanna raised the corner of his lips and said, "It's not your fault, sir. The Sun Moon Cult has spread a lot of good deeds outside, but perhaps when these people heard about them, they became foolish kindness."
"If that's the case, my Lord, please leave it to me."
Lian Yun nodded.
In this case, even if what they said was true, she would have to consider whether there was someone behind them deliberately using their mouths to spread this information, which was not certain to be true or false.
So Lian Yun adopted the method proposed by Lana, first threatening and then bribing, while they were still immersed in the surprise that Lian Yun could actually control the monster herd, and let them taste the town's methods.
The route they were taken away on had been planned, and they were deliberately passing through some unique places, which put more pressure on them psychologically.
Finally, offer attractive conditions.
In short, Lian Yun wanted them to understand that he had the absolute ability to decide their life or death.
The sunflower has matured, and sunflower seeds are arranged on the golden flower disk, but unlike the original sunflower, the color of the sunflower seeds is not entirely golden.
There is also mixed grayish white.
That's the color of normal sunflower seeds.
Lian Yun approached the sunflower and tested it repeatedly, and finally concluded that only the golden sunflower seeds were professional elves, and the others were ordinary sunflower seeds that had the function of purifying the land and normal reproduction.
This can avoid accidentally injuring professional elves.
However, although sunflowers have purification capabilities, the purification area is not as large as that of windbreaks, and the windproof effect is also worse. It is difficult to fix the position of a small number of sunflowers if they are randomly thrown into the desert.
Therefore, you need to pick the gray sunflower seeds and continue sowing them until a certain amount is planted before you can use them where they are really needed.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lian Yun looked at Meili with a smile.
Mary smiled faintly and looked at the wheat field with her.
“It’s time to harvest again.”
Not long after, Jamie reported to Lian Yun with several confessions.
"Sir, they have confessed."
They are a small team in the main city that makes a living by taking missions. Because they only care about money and not people, they have accepted many very dangerous orders.
"It is said that the team originally had more than ten people, but some were injured or died, and in the end only these seven were left."
...You really value money over life.
Lian Yun took the confession and read it carefully twice.
"So they took on such a task because of the generous reward." Lian Yun raised his eyebrows without comment.
Jamie asked them about the current situation in the main city. They said that emergency drills are conducted twice a day in the main city and security is very tight. People will be strictly questioned and inspected when leaving or returning to the city.
The people also learned about the recent widespread rumors that the Sun and Moon Sect was planning to oppose the main city, and they didn't know which side to take.
However, as the two major churches continued to send people to visit and preach in the neighborhood, advocating that the current stability of the main city was their credit and so on, it still prompted many people to protest against the Sun and Moon Sect.
Everyone looked at Lian Yun.
Those who know what has happened recently are all starting to worry.
This has begun to deviate from the Lord's plan.
Lian Yun let out a breath.
In her plan, Mogo should have brought the article to the puppet as they planned, and spread the news through the puppet's hands.
The two documents attracted great attention after being handed over by Jin Jia. They could suppress the two major churches and elevate the status of the Sun and Moon Sect.
Even if you can't win people over, you can at least achieve the goal of shaking their hearts.
Although Lian Yun had thought of this result a long time ago, even if the news was really released, the main city was still the other party's home ground, and the effect might not be the same as the small town had on Jiaota City and Buli Lake City.
However, the current situation is that the two major churches have the upper hand, even...
Lian Yun flipped the paper in his hand.
Even these seven people had never heard of the widespread news of the Sun and Moon Sect.
This is very disadvantageous for them.
Do I really have to give up...
"Did they mention any information about the puppets?" Lian Yun suddenly asked.
Jamie shook his head and glanced at Lanner: "Lord Lanner specifically told me not to mention this matter."
Lian Yun's eyes flashed, and he shook the paper in his hand: "You didn't ask, and they talked so much, but didn't mention even a single word about the puppets?"
Weird, so weird.
Now all the news points to one possibility - Mogo betrayed them.
Therefore, the articles that Lian Yun gave him were not spread. The Hewlett family discovered Mogo's actions and sent people to Buli Lake City to inquire.
It can be said that it is completely on the opposite side of the town.
...But what makes Lian Yun feel strange is that if Mogo really betrayed them completely, why didn't they notice such an important thing as the puppet?
If they knew that Lian Yun wanted to attack these puppets, they would definitely take precautions early. Such a large number of puppets would definitely attract more or less attention.
"Maybe... they know about it, but are using it as bait to try to lure the adults out?" Lana suggested the possibility.
"contradiction."
Lian Yun gave a faint smile.
"If that's what they were planning, why did they send people to explore Buli Lake City? What good would it do them to alert the enemy?"
Especially, they acted in the name of the Hewlett family, as if they were afraid that others didn't know that they had seen through Lian Yun's plan and had controlled Mogo.
Gerry, who had been silent the entire time, slowly shook his head in the silence: "But who can guarantee that the words of these seven people are trustworthy?"
It’s so complicated, true and false.
"Perhaps the main city's methods may not seem very clever, but they are indeed good at disrupting people's minds."
Gary grabbed his cane, slowly stood up with it, and looked at Lian Yun meaningfully.
"I know you want to minimize casualties, but this is too risky. They're just trying to confuse you with this half-truthful information. Your kindness might lead you to act rashly out of impatience. This is a hell of a place, my lord. You and I both know it."
Gary had always been conservative about Lian Yun's safety, and Lian Yun naturally accepted his words. Just as he was about to speak, he heard him say -
"But you are Lian Yun," Gerry's old face showed a helpless yet relieved smile, "You always take risks."
For a glimmer of hope for more lives.

The author has something to say:
I have too many exams recently, so I can only write one chapter every few days. There are still two subjects left, so I should be able to update normally!
