From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star
Chapter 238: A Showdown Without a Blade
Elder Gru had torn the Darkville leader's trust in Lu Heng into pieces with just a few words.
Lu Heng watched the whole process in his eyes and admired Elder Gru's ability to control the situation.
A few words from Elder Gru made the leader of Darkville suspicious of Lu Heng. Others may not feel it obviously, but Lu Heng clearly felt the hostility from Elder Gru.
Just a few minutes.
Lu Heng went from being a trusted ally by the tribal leader to a suspicious outsider.
If you still don't feel hostility, there's something wrong with your brain.
It was precisely because of this hostility that Lu Heng re-examined Elder Gru.
Elder Gru raised his head, observed Lu Heng for a moment, and then said to the leader of Darkville: "Chief, why don't we ask him how he got the ashes of the former leader back from Black Rock City."
Darkwill III was too excited before and did not ask Lu Heng about the process. At this time, he was reminded and asked: "Lu Heng, how did you get the ashes back? Tell us about it, can you?"
His attitude did not change 180 degrees. He still maintained his friendliness towards Lu Heng, but he retained a certain degree of wariness.
Lu Heng paced at the door of the hall, thinking about a few key questions, and then began to describe the process of entering Black Rock City to collect the ashes.
Among them, the part about thanking Shien is omitted.
The matter of collecting ashes has no substantial connection with Xie Shien.
There is no need to involve another person with powers, it will complicate things and will have to be explained at that time.
After hearing this, Elder Gru asked: "Did you sneak into Black Rock City alone and then escape alone?"
Lu Heng nodded in response.
Elder Gru turned to Darkwell and said: "Chief, what do you think after listening to this? The whole process went too smoothly. It took us three years, but only the leader relied on the secret tunnel of the mine to enter Black Rock City once.
“But this outsider got in easily, and after obtaining the ashes, he was able to escape so easily under the ban of the ancestor of the blood demon.
"Don't you think, leader, that this thing went so smoothly?"
The Dark Iron Tribe and the Blood Devils have been fighting for three years, and Darkville is very aware of how difficult this group of Blood Devils is to deal with.
Therefore, he also felt that the process described by Lu Heng was too simple.
In his heart, he didn't want to believe that others could easily do what he couldn't do.
This psychology is very subtle.
Lu Heng thought for a moment and asked, "What do you two think of the guards at the Fortress?"
"Of course it's heavily guarded." Darkville replied matter-of-factly.
"Then why don't I also enter the Fortress and see the leader?" Lu Heng maintained a calm expression on his face.
Darkwill nodded and said, "That's true. Lu Heng has this ability. Although the process sounds simple, he does have the ability to do it."
Lu Heng looked at Elder Gru and asked, "Elder, do you have anything else to question?"
Elder Gru shook his head and replied: "Not for the time being."
"Since you don't have it, it's my turn."
Lu Heng paused, looked at Darkville, and asked: "Chief, do you remember what I just said? I saw a figure wearing a black cloak in the Blood Sacrifice Tower in Black Rock City. I suspect that the cloaked man is Black Traitor of the Iron Tribe."
Elder Gru answered and questioned: "I remember you just said that this cloaked man is as tall as a blood-born demon. How come he has become a traitor to the Black Iron tribe now? The tallest man in our tribe is far from that. This height.”
Darkwill nodded in agreement: "Yes, I remember clearly that you said that the cloaked man was very tall."
Elder Gru sneered: "Outsiders, you don't want to change your story, do you?"
"Don't worry."
Lu Heng walked outside the ancestral hall, picked up a stick, took it back and compared the length, and then stood it up next to the lava turtle at the door.
Then, use your fingernail to make a scratch on the stick, according to the height of the lava turtle.
Later, Lu Heng came back with a stick, put it upright next to Elder Gru's head, and said: "The elder plus this height is about the same height as the cloaked man."
This move is actually a little rude.
Elder Gru angrily slapped Lu Heng's palm away with his hand and snorted: "What on earth do you want to say?"
Lu Heng took a deep breath and said, "At the beginning, when I saw the cloaked man, my guess was overturned.
"Until I saw this lava turtle, it was just the right height. How about Elder Gru standing on top of the lava turtle and trying it?"
Elder Gru snorted coldly and angrily said, "Do you doubt me?"
"Don't worry, we'll figure it out one clue at a time."
Lu Heng looked at Darkville and said, "Leader Darkville, do you still remember the clues we just investigated?
"When you sent someone to invite Elder Gru, you invited him back from outside the Fortress. In other words, Elder Gru was not in the Fortress before."
Elder Gru snorted coldly: "I live in the Wizard Mountain behind the Fortress. I am the most powerful wizard in the clan. When I practice black magic, I can easily hurt others, so naturally I cannot live in the fort."
Darkville nodded and confirmed: "Yes, Elder Gru does not live in the castle because he wants to practice black magic."
Lu Heng continued: "That's right. As we just said, this traitor left the Fortress before noon yesterday and went to Black Rock City. The leader has just been investigating the scouts in the tribe, but he has never mentioned it. This Elder Gru."
Darkwill was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't believe this speculation in his heart, and looked at Elder Gru with complicated eyes.
Elder Gru immediately scolded: "Outsider, how dare you slander me! Leader, do you want to believe an outsider's slander against the tribal elders!"
Before Darkville could speak, Lu Heng said loudly: "Leader Darkville, you should know better than me that your father died of black witchcraft.
"I believe you should know what kind of dark wizard is capable of killing your father. There shouldn't be many dark wizards in the Black Iron tribe who are capable of hurting your father, right?"
As soon as these words came out.
Darkville III was stunned again.
Because his father himself possesses strong black magic, there are really not many people in the tribe who can use black magic to kill his father.
This made Darkville III's eyes change when he looked at Elder Gru.
Elder Gru angrily yelled: "Chief, do you want to lead the Black Iron Tribe to destruction? How can you believe the words of an outsider!"
The black iron dwarves outside the Ancestor Hall also agreed: "Yes, leader, Elder Gru is the dark wizard of our tribe and our elder. He has always guarded the Fortress."
At this moment, Lu Heng was almost certain that the cloaked man in the Blood Sacrifice Tower was Elder Gru in front of him, but it was very difficult to make these black iron dwarves believe this.
After all, Elder Gru was from the same clan as them, and Lu Heng was an outsider who was recruited.
Lu Heng knew that he had to produce stronger evidence at this time, otherwise he would never be able to bring down this Black Iron Tribe elder.
When I met Darkville III before, I heard him talk about the process of the tribe migrating to the lava plains and building Blackstone City in the Blackstone Mine.
There was also the fall of Black Rock City three years ago, and Lu Heng also heard some words from Darkwill.
Lu Heng thought for a moment and asked: "Chief Darkville, I have a question. Three years ago, when you returned to the lava plain and found out that Black Rock City had fallen, did you immediately start to gather the tribesmen and rebuild the tribe?"
Darkwill nodded and replied: "Yes, I will gather the clan members as soon as possible and bring everyone to the Fortress."
Lu Heng then asked: "So when did Leader Darkville find Elder Gru?"
Darkwill recalled it and replied: "It was half a year after I brought my people to the Fortress that Elder Gru found the Fortress."
When Lu Heng heard this answer, he nodded slowly. After thinking for a moment, he pointed at the lava turtle and testified in a very fast tone:
"When we were in Black Rock City, I think everyone can't think of the reason why Elder Gru stood on the lava turtle, right?
“Because he was going to meet with the vampire banshee Sarain, and he didn’t want to be that much shorter than Sarain, so when they met, he had to stand on the lava turtle so that he could talk to Sarain face to face.
“He needed this normal Sarain self-esteem because he was fascinated by Sarain.
"I think you all know better than me what kind of abilities the vampire banshee has.
“Let me guess what happened three years ago.
"We, Elder Gru, met the blood-born banshee Sarain one day and were deeply attracted by the beauty of this banshee.
“He agreed to all the Blood Banshee’s demands and launched a coup three years ago, killing the previous generation of leaders.
"Otherwise, with Blackstone City's strong walls, how could the blood demons possibly break through?
"I'll make a bold guess. Leader Darkville was not in Blackstone City at that time, but was out on a mission..."
After Lu Heng said this, he paused, turned to look at Darkville III, and asked: "Chief, I will make a bold guess that the reason why you left Black Rock City at that time was because someone drove you away.
"Because you have the same talent and strategy as your father, this traitor knows that if you are in Blackstone City, plus your father, even if the traitors cooperate inside and outside, they will not be sure to break through Blackstone City.
"So, the reason why the leader went out three years ago was probably planned by someone."
Darkwill frowned and glanced at Elder Gru, but did not speak to instruct him.
Seeing his expression, Lu Heng guessed that it wasn't Elder Gru who had stepped in to get him away three years ago.
As a tribe elder, if you want to save someone, you don't need to show up in person.
Lu Heng continued: "Everyone, I think the warriors of the Black Iron Clan here, after the fall of Black Rock City three years ago, must have been looking for your leader as soon as possible, regrouped, and fought to regain their homeland, right? "
The Black Iron dwarves present recalled that period of history, and they all clenched their fists and said, "Of course! If Black Rock City hadn't been breached at that time, and the former leader told us to flee before he died, we would have definitely defended Black Rock City."
Lu Heng suddenly turned around, pointed at Elder Gru, and asked: "Then why after the fall of Black Rock City, the leader of Darkville gathered his tribesmen and garrisoned the fort, and it took half a year for Elder Gru to show up?
"As a tribe elder, after the fall of Black Rock City, shouldn't you gather your tribe members as soon as possible to meet the young leader and rebuild the tribe?
"Why did Elder Gru disappear for half a year and then suddenly appear in Tochibao?"
Elder Gru opened his mouth to refute.
Lu Heng interrupted him sharply and shouted: "Leader Darkville, if I guess correctly, Elder Gru only appeared after your first counterattack on Black Rock City, right?"
"This...is indeed..." Darkville III recalled what happened three years ago and found that Lu Heng's guess was accurate.
Lu Heng continued: "Then Elder Gru, why did he show up after the first counterattack on Black Rock City?
"The reason is simple. During those six months, he was the servant of the blood-born banshee Sarain.
“After the leader of Darkvill counterattacked Blackstone City for the first time, the Blood Demon discovered that the power of the Dark Iron Tribe was still very strong.
"So half a year later, Sarain sent Elder Gru back to monitor the Black Iron Tribe's actions!"
This passage is very convincing, and every detail matches what happened to the Black Iron Tribe.
This made Darkville III look at Elder Gru with more and more complicated eyes.
Elder Gru angrily yelled: "Nonsense! Leader, do you want to listen to an outsider? He is slandering the elders of the Black Iron Tribe! Could it be that all the sacrifices I have made for the tribe over the past few decades are not worth the efforts of an outsider?" Any questions?"
The Dark Iron Dwarves present looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
Because after listening to Lu Heng's analysis, they found that Elder Gru was indeed suspicious. However, just because Elder Gru had been missing for half a year, they decided that he was a traitor, and the evidence was not sufficient.
Elder Gru pointed at Lu Heng's nose and shouted angrily: "What this outsider said is all his speculation. He has no evidence at all! If he can successfully slander an elder in this way, will the tribe still have a future?"
Although Lu Heng's inference is consistent with what the Black Iron Tribe has experienced, there is one key issue that has not been resolved, and that is the evidence.
So far, there is no evidence to prove that Elder Gru is a traitor.
Just as the Dark Iron dwarves present were talking about it.
Su Muyu walked into the hall, leaned into Lu Heng's ear, and whispered something.
Lu Heng gave her a thumbs up, then turned to Darkville III and said: "Elder Gru is fascinated by the blood-born banshee Sarain, so he will definitely keep Sarain's belongings on his body so that he can smell Sarain at all times. The breath.”
As soon as these words came out, all the Dark Iron dwarves looked at Elder Gru.
Elder Gru became even more angry. He tore open his robe with his hands and shouted, "Come and search! See if there are any belongings of Sarain on me. Search me!"
The Dark Iron Dwarves present saw his reaction and immediately believed his words.
For the sake of caution, Darkville III asked his personal guards to come forward and search Elder Gru.
As a result, no items belonging to Sarain were found.
Darkwill III looked at Lu Heng and asked, "You said Elder Gru had Sarain's belongings on his body, and they have been searched now. What do you say?"
Lu Heng remained calm and calm and said: "I haven't finished what I just said. Elder Gru must have known that he came here today to investigate the cause of death of the former leader. Of course he didn't dare to put Sarain's belongings on him.
"So, he hid Sarain's belongings in his residence. He only needs to send people to search his residence to find them."
When Elder Gru heard this, he immediately yelled angrily: "You are talking nonsense!"
Lu Heng twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Elder Gru, not only do I know that you have collected Sarain's items, I also know what that item is. It is a handful of Sarain's... mane!"
Just now, Su Muyu was watching this invisible duel outside the hall, not doing anything.
When Lu Heng suspected Elder Gru, Su Muyu immediately released the Chongming Bird and went to Wizard Mountain to find key evidence.
What she just said in Lu Heng's ears was this information.
