Chapter 33 33 Serious Deception Always Pays Off

Chapter 33 33. Serious deception always pays off

Lulutis said that many nobles living in the kingdom's capital are not very fond of speaking.

The specific manifestation is that everyone likes to hide their true purpose in some fragmented topics, and then gradually piece together the information they need through the other party's answers.

In this environment, everyone's politeness and politeness seem very hypocritical.

Old Drake didn't want to talk about tea at all. He cared more about Lu Yu or the stories he told.

Knowing this, Lu Yu did not intend to continue talking about the topic of tea. Although he could list a large number of famous tea names, these would not win Old Drake's trust, and he might keep asking him about the details.

On the premise that he has doubts, if he fails to answer any link, he will not think that you do not know enough about this aspect, but will have the idea that the liar's story cannot be continued.

"Senior Drake should not just come to me to drink tea and chat."

"Save those tedious temptations, boring routines and calculations. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Old Drake didn't expect Lu Yu to be so direct, but he wasn't too surprised after seeing countless people.

With a polite smile on his face, Old Drake revealed the theme of today.

"To verify the identity of foreign nobles and recognize that they have some rights in the Kingdom of Yas that are equivalent to those of domestic nobles, the nobles need to temporarily form a review tribunal and have a duke appear to witness it. The process is cumbersome and not very friendly to you."

Lu Yu said: "Please tell me the key points."

"I can help you avoid this tedious process."

Lu Yu smiled. He picked up the tea cup and took another sip of the tea brought by Old Drake.

This tea has some flavor now.

"You are also the review court?"

"No, I can only vouch for you through the recommendation of the court magician. The premise is that you are a magician, or a capable adventurer with exquisite martial arts skills."

"With my presence, the review court will only be a formality, and your noble status will be recognized by everyone in the Kingdom of Yas more quickly."

"Sounds very convenient..." Lu Yu put down his tea cup and leaned his chair towards Old Drake, "So what does it cost?"

"This thank you gift shouldn't be cheap, right?"

Old Drake glanced at Andrew beside him. Andrew immediately understood, got up and walked out of the living room.

Sigrid also left the scene under the signal from Lu Yu’s eyes.

Only Lulutis, who was quietly lurking, remained not far from Lu Yu, watching out for any unusual behavior by the old Drake.

When there was no one else in the room, Old Drake continued: "After verifying your identity, I hope you can take a look at the three maps the Marquis showed to Andrew."

Old Drake continued: "Of course, I won't take it for nothing."

At this point, Lu Yu thought about it.

After hearing Andrew's description, Old Drake already believed a little about Lu Yu's identity as a marquis and his travel experience.

At the same time, sooner or later more people will know about Lu Yu as a "noble", and then the review court established by the Kingdom of Yas will definitely come to contact Lu Yu.

Based on Lu Yu's previous words and deeds, as well as his unheard-of experiences, the nobles in the review court will most likely recognize his identity. At most, they will ask the king to let Lu Yu exchange his meritorious service for complete noble privileges.

Old Drake came late at night, hoping that he could bypass the review court in the form of a magician's recommendation and get some knowledge and experience from Lu Yu.

Now that you have begun to believe in your own identity and experience, it becomes much easier.

Lu Yu asked: "How do you want to verify my identity?"

Old Drake smiled and said: "It's no different from Andrew. Ask some questions. Since you are recommended as a magician, I also need you to show a little bit of your magic."

Lu Yu thought for a moment and nodded.

"I have the right to choose not to answer questions involving privacy."

"Yes, but you must answer quickly."

Old Drake asked the first question without any warning.

"What are the famous holidays in Seris country?"

"Spring Festival." Lu Yu didn't expect it to start, so he subconsciously said it.

"So what will you do during the Spring Festival?"

"On the occasion of family reunion, of course we should enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner and do a general cleaning of the house."

Lu Yu originally wanted to set off fireworks, but in recent years he had not had the chance to do it himself, so he did not say anything.

"New Year's Eve dinner...is a meal that is eaten during festivals, right? So what do you eat?"

"Basically, it's food you've never heard of. The more common ones in my hometown are braised pork with pickled vegetables, dumplings, plain-cut chicken, and a piece of fish, which means plenty every year."

Old Drake asked questions faster and faster, leaving no gap for Lu Yu to stop.

From the festivals of Siris Country to the food of Siris Country, one question follows another.

In such a high-intensity conversation, even a liar who has made up a country and recited it repeatedly will find it difficult to answer the question immediately.

Since I live on that land and am the lord of the same land, everything should be engraved deep in my memory and I can answer it subconsciously.

Old Drake asked questions slower and slower, and he found that he really couldn't keep up with Lu Yu's answer speed.

Lu Yu only answered half of his question.

For example, Old Drake wanted to ask again, what good teas are there in Seris.

Lu Yu directly threw out a lot of tea names, such as Biluochun, Dahongpao, Longjing, and every time he said one, his face was filled with an inexplicable smile.

Old Drake understood that smile.

It was a sense of superiority.

This was exactly the same as the embarrassment Lu Yu showed when he tasted tea before.

For example, Old Drake asked Seris and Yas Kingdom, who had a larger territory.

Lu Yu laughed out loud, and then waved his hand to signal Old Drake to ask the next question. He didn't want to answer this question.

Looking at Lu Yu's expression, Old Drake knew that it was not that he couldn't answer it, but that he thought the question was really funny.

After a series of questions, Old Drake gradually outlined some of the outlines of Seris.

Rich, vast, and magnificent.

As for Lu Yu in front of him, he also began to believe that he really came from the rich country of Seris and was an important role in the country's border development.

If it weren't for the accident caused by his fierce battle with the monsters, the Marquisate should have organized a large army to conquer the land occupied by monsters.

The living room was silent for a long time, and the tense face of old Drake gradually relaxed as he concentrated.

"Mr. Marquis, can you still find the way back to Seris?"

Lu Yu shook his head: "After I was mis-transmitted by the teleportation ceremony, I searched for many years, but still couldn't find any information about my homeland."

"But this doesn't stop me from continuing to search until I return to my castle again and respond to those subjects who are loyal to my territory."

Old Drake was silent again, and he slowly closed his eyes, as if he was recalling something.

"It's difficult. This land is so vast... If I guess correctly, you were seriously injured after the teleportation ceremony, so that your body can only hold very little magic power..."

Just now, Lulutis told Lu Yu in the chat room that Old Drake secretly sensed the strength of Lu Yu's magic power, and the speed was very fast, so there was no time to warn.

Lu Yu was also ready to tell another lie, but he didn't expect Old Drake to help him make up a reason on his own...

The old man is really kind!

"You are spying on me."

"I have no ill intentions, and I will not spread this information casually." Old Drake said regretfully, "With such an injury, you can still move forward and cross countless difficulties and obstacles to reach the Kingdom of Yas..."

"I only respect you, deep respect."

Lu Yu went down the slope, revealing a sad look.

"It's not all my credit. My loyal servants escorted me until they all died in battle, which allowed me to come to this place with a brief peace."

"That's why I bought a new servant after arriving in the Kingdom of Yas."

Old Drake understood. No wonder Sigrid looked clumsy. It turned out that she had just bought him from the slave market.

After getting the information he needed, Old Drake stood up: "Since the old injury of the Marquis has not healed, I will not make it difficult for you to use magic to verify your identity."

Old Drake made it convenient for him, and Lu Yu naturally asked Sigrid to take out three maps for Old Drake to appreciate.

After getting the map, Old Drake put on a monocle, and his rough hands gently pinched a corner of the map, carefully appreciating the "exotic scenery".

Looking at the map and the details of the monsters on the map, Old Drake was fascinated and asked Lu Yu.

For example, how did he know about the strange "Human Pus" weak fire in Lothric City?

In this chaotic place where even the knights of the kingdom almost lost their minds, why didn't the surviving prince take the initiative to stand up and lead the remaining troops to save the country from collapse, but locked himself in the room and refused to go out?

Is the king's crown a curse?

And why did Lu Yu not record any information about monsters on the map of R'lyeh, only wrote an unknown, and added a sentence "should not explore the truth too much".

He has already determined that Lu Yu is the Marquis of Seris, and started a long journey with his servants in the teleportation ceremony.

The difficulties and obstacles they faced on this journey are countless, and it is definitely not just three maps that can record them all.

However, the maps of Lothric and Gransefa that he saw were very detailed, only the map of R'lyeh, Lu Yu was very frugal.

It seems... he saw something like a nightmare there.

After seeing the horror of that monster, he was completely unable to think of fighting it, and was even unwilling to record it out of shame.

Old Drake looked up at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu asked Old Drake not to ask, he didn't want to recall what happened at that time.

He trembled as he spoke, and suddenly seemed to recall something, tears flashed in the corners of his eyes.

What could make a battle-hardened noble so afraid?

Could it be the demon god that was circulated among monsters and existed only in totem records?

There will be another update tonight, please recommend it first
