Chapter 98 Duo Luo couldn't make a choice.
The other party didn't want to have too much communication with him.
Duo Luo was thinking about how he should communicate with this woman if it was normal. He would probably tell her directly: "Since you know that a big shot like me has gone to great lengths to find you, this is not something you can refuse."
Maybe it would make people feel overbearing, right?
However, Duo Luo would not do that.
"There is not a single alchemist in this city now. Can you tell me the reason?"
"I've already said that I don't want to be associated with big shots like you."
Duo Luo pointed to the sky: "You may not know the reason for their evacuation, but I know that since you understand alchemy, then even children know about Star Tears, you should know it, right?"
Star Tears?
The woman was stunned for a moment. Of course she knew this name. In this world, there would be no one who didn't know this romantic name.
"That thing is now above this city. It will fall into this city at any time. As for the culprit, since the people of the Alchemist Association have evacuated, I think you should know who wants to do this without me saying it."
Duo Luo saw the confusion of the woman in front of him.
"You may not believe me, but you should also know that I have no reason to come all the way here to lie to you. You also have no reason to plot against me, so tell me, what do you know?"
Then she saw that the woman was laughing.
She was laughing crazily.
"Haha~hahahaha~~~hahahahaha~~~"
After the woman laughed for a long time, she finally looked at Duo Luo: "So that's how it is! Will this city be destroyed?"
"I'm trying to stop it. So, I need some information."
After a while of silence, the woman finally said: "My alchemy was taught to me by a guest..."
Speaking of the guest, her expression changed a little: "...Okay, my lover. There is no point in hiding it now. I know that it seems ridiculous for people like me to say that I am a lover in the eyes of you people, but I originally thought that he really loved me - otherwise why would he teach me alchemy? But men are always like this, they like to force good women into prostitution, and they also like to persuade prostitutes to become good women - both of them are my past."
She seemed to have a complicated past, and Duo Luo just listened silently.
"When I became his lover, I thought I would never return to this mining area. After he saw that I had a talent for alchemy, he taught me a lot of alchemy. I moved out to live with him and started to take some alchemy orders... He and I enjoyed our future destiny and imagined a happy future. But half a year ago, something happened that a person like you should know."
"The Demon King took away the left hand from this city, and almost all the nobles died suddenly. The city was in chaos at that time... He disappeared." The woman breathed heavily, "I thought he was dead. After all, it was really chaotic at that time. Someone as simple and naive as him might have an accident. After searching for a while, I moved back here. At first, I wanted to take some alchemy jobs to survive."
She seemed to be recalling something: "But this is terrible. A large number of cheap alchemy props have poured into this city. Repair? Like I said, just coming here is enough for many people to give up. After all, the impression of this place has always been chaos... Besides, I'm not a good alchemist, and I don't have a formal license. I can only go back to my old job."
"I just know about this kind of thing, if it is valuable to you..."
Duo Luo nodded: "It's enough."
The woman looked at Duo Luo: "Can you stop this from happening?"
Duo Luo looked at the woman with some surprise.
"I actually know a little bit - bad things will definitely happen in this city, but I always thought that it would happen anyway, it wouldn't be that bad..." She paused, "Although I probably don't have the right to say this, but when I know that he should still be alive, I feel that it is meaningful to live."
Looking at the surprise in Duo Luo's eyes, she looked a little embarrassed: "I know that a woman like me is probably not qualified to pursue the so-called love in your eyes, but people always have to give themselves some thoughts when they are alive. He may dislike me doing such a thing again, he may feel that I am not worthy of his expectations, I may never see him again in my life, but I may take this as a goal and work hard to spend my life."
So that's it, Duo Luo seemed to understand something.
"I'm just asking, how is your life after the Demon King was defeated?"
"From being unable to survive to being able to survive... I don't know whether it's good or bad. Sometimes being alive is not necessarily a good thing. If there is no spiritual sustenance."
Duo Luo took out three silver coins from his pocket and handed them to the woman.
The woman looked at him in surprise, and then took them.
He didn't give more.
The woman believed that this man really wanted to stop the so-called Star Tears. Who is he? He
must be a great man.
...
In fact, as Mohe said, Adeline's plan for Butuo City was not a day or two. Even at that time, Adeline had not met Mohe. According to Mohe, she was almost killed by Adeline on Kenku Island. Fortunately, she had more means to escape back... That was probably a lie.
After all, she still left something that Adeline could find. At that time, the two probably reached some agreement.
It's just that Mohe was lying to Adeline, and Adeline was lying to Mohe.
Of course, such verification is actually not very meaningful. After all, as long as Duo Luo jumps into the sky, he will be able to know whether there is an alchemical tool called Star Tears in the sky.
As long as it is there, Adeline's behavior cannot be justified in any way.
Therefore, his current exploration and questioning is just to determine when Adeline started planning this matter in the Alchemist Association.
He already knows the answer.
So, it's time to find Adeline.
He came to the shop selling alchemical dolls. Moher and Adeline met here last night.
"Sir, what do you need? You look familiar. Is there something wrong with the alchemy doll? I can..."
"Send Adeline out."
The shop owner was stunned.
"You, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand what you mean."
Although he didn't quite understand what he meant, he could tell from Dora's expression that this person was not a good person and was very likely looking for trouble.
"I'm not in a good mood right now, and I don't have that much free time to talk to you." He restrained his emotions.
"My dear customer, if you are here to make trouble, then although this is a small shop, it's also..." The boss was obviously a little angry, and he was about to say something threatening.
He lost the ability to speak.
The appearance of a certain alchemical doll suddenly changed. In the shop owner's horrified expression, Adeline walked out of the alchemical dolls placed together: "So, Moher did tell you this, Godora, I knew she was not trustworthy. But what good will it do her to tell you this? I'm not too sure."
Her eyes fell on the shop owner. The shop owner fell down.
Adeline looked at Doro: "You came to this city suddenly, caught me off guard, and had to find a way to hide yourself. Your perception has always been very sharp. The Demon King is really a mean person. She knows everything, but she doesn't say anything. She just peeks at your activities like that, and then laughs like she is watching a clown's performance."
Doro still didn't speak.
Adeline didn't seem to care. She said to herself: "I think you probably want to ask a reason, but when you see me, you don't think it's necessary to ask. You think the answer I will give is similar to Xia Di's. She attacked the Lizardman Kingdom, and I attacked Butuo City. We are the same - sometimes I am surprised, Godora. I actually always despised Xia Di. As a result, when I came to my senses, I found that we didn't seem to have much choice. Before we got to this point, we all thought we were making the most correct choice. Sacrifice is a last resort."
As she said, she walked step by step to Doro: "Are you going to do the same thing to me as you did to Xia Di? Kill me here?"
Doro just looked at her: "If you take back the Star Tears now, I will leave."
"Didn't the Demon King tell you that there is no way to take that thing back? That is a tool she made herself that can only be used for destruction. Once activated, it cannot be taken back. Even if it is destroyed, it still has the power to easily destroy a city. Moreover, I have already bet so much here. Do you think it is possible? Rebuilding after destruction, do you think it is an easy thing? How much will the Alchemist Association have to pay for this? If I retreat here, I don't have to bear the responsibility of the Alchemist Association anymore."
At this moment, Duo Luo took action.
His fist landed directly on Adeline, but it seemed to hit nothingness. The strong wind pressure directly destroyed the store, and the alchemy dolls flew everywhere - but they didn't really hit Adeline.
His fist passed through Adeline.
Adeline sighed, "Since I decided to build a new country here, how could I not bring all kinds of things here?"
"Kenku Island should still be in Naluen."
"This is all thanks to the Demon King's Abinu Mirror. That is the area where the Abinu Mirror excels, a false reflection - of course, there are many alchemists left there, after all, to perform for the world, there is always a price to pay."
Her words explained everything, she brought all the Sky Fortress and the World Reflection here.
The will of the Alchemist Association cannot be changed.
"Do you think these things can save you?"
Adeline showed pity at this moment: "Don't be like this, Godora, if you want to kill me, you can only shoot down Kenku Island and destroy the core of my world reflection. Can you do such a thing? There are no more than a million people in Butuo City, and there will be more people on Kenku Island, and most of them are innocent. Xia Di has been taught a lesson by you, and I will certainly prepare in advance. So, it would be better for you to leave, Dora, I don't want to meet you, because I don't want to hurt you."
There was a little warmth in her words: "You can obviously know nothing, but you were brought to this city by the Demon King. I am also embarrassed to let you see such a thing, but what is going to happen will not change. You must admit that Godora, you can never make a choice in such a thing. You can't accept the sacrifice of any party, even if you think you are so right. You can only be helplessly angry, decadent, sad, and then leave sadly-in this case, why not just cover your eyes, plug your ears, and live your own life? Isn't there someone who loves you by your side now?"
...
When Moher saw Doro again, he was very drunk.
It even made people wonder how he found his way back to the hotel.
"Mr. Doro is drunk! It seems that he has made a lot of contributions to the mansion!" Moher couldn't help but sigh, "This reminds me of when I just met Mr. Doro, he was also drunk like this. Now I think about it and it makes me miss him a little bit."
She said to the other girls: "I bought a lot of things today, you guys should clean up first. I will take care of Mr. Doro. By the way, I want to talk to Mr. Doro."
Lisiduowei subconsciously wanted to say something, but she met Moher's eyes.
There was an unquestionable authority in the eyes of this demon king. She did not allow Lisiduowei to get involved in the area between her and Doro.
She knew that something big was going to happen. It was said that there was some riots in the city during the day. When they were shopping, they saw the guards rushing in a certain direction.
She didn't know what happened.
So she pulled Rose, who also wanted to say something, and shook her head slightly in the other's puzzled eyes.
Lastina was a little disgusted, and she also called the two people: "Then, let's clean up together."
Mohe dragged Dora back to his room again.
"Ordinary wine can't make you drunk... This is not the way to escape from reality, right?"
Mohe took out a bottle of wine from his treasure house: "This is the stock from that year - I didn't want to share it with you. If you want to get drunk, this can be done. After all, even I can get drunk. This is what the so-called 'God of Wine' of the original dwarves dedicated to me. His status in the dwarves is no different from that of a god. These stocks will be gone after drinking them. I should have asked him to leave the recipe."
She took out the wine glasses with some pain, and then poured them for Duo Luo and herself.
The rich aroma of wine spread in the room.
Duo Luo suddenly opened his eyes, took the wine glass and drank it all.
Mo He took a sip of the wine glass.
"So, Mr. Duo Luo, have you found the truth you want?"
