The career of an evil alchemist that started with picking up a crazy sword girl

"Nothing is wrong," Lu Lin said, "They are just too rich, so they don't bother to do these things..."

"Eh? Too rich?" Lan Jie was stunned.

"Well, their armor is probably worth about ten gold coins, and the weapons are not cheap. The key is that every soldier has this configuration," Lu Lin nodded, "Damn it, this place is too rich, is there an oil field hidden underground?"

Chapter 161 Is your city a Hongmen Banquet restaurant?

After entering the city, according to the guidance of the soldiers, Lu Lin and others came to a grassland in the city and settled the earth dragon and snail.

According to the plan, they should go out and stroll around like ordinary tourists, have a preliminary understanding of the local area, mix with the people of Tianri Sect, and then wait for an opportunity to act.

But what everyone didn't expect was that they were approached by someone before they even had time to go out.

The man who came to find them was a man in a high-end dress, with several guards behind him, who looked extraordinary.

"Everyone, I think this is your first time in Kulanjilin Central City, right?" He smiled and spoke in a gentle tone, but with the aura of a superior.

"Yes," Lu Lin nodded and asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "I wonder who you are?"

"Ah, I am a resident here, and I am responsible for the reception of tourists on weekdays," the man said with a smile, "I came here to invite you to follow me to the banquet."

The man said politely, but Lu Lin heard a hint of command in his tone.

At that moment, Lu Lin immediately realized that they seemed to be under surveillance.

This situation is the same as what the old master said that the Tianri Sect encountered every time they came. They would be immediately treated as guests and then monitored throughout the process.

But... why?

Was their identity exposed?

Or are the people here like this to everyone?

Or, is it that their identity irritated the other party's nerves?

Are the people here wary of the Black Magic School?

A bunch of thoughts flashed through Lu Lin's mind, but on his face, Lu Lin put on a cautious expression and asked, "Ah? Banquet? Does it cost money?"

As soon as he said this, the man laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's free. This banquet is funded by our city lord and is specially for tourists. First, we are the host, and second, we can get to know everyone and make friends."

"So good?" Lu Lin still showed a vigilant look of knowing nothing, "Are you really the city lord's people? Are you scammers? What good can the city lord get from holding such a wasteful banquet?"

"Haha, worthy of the Black Magic School Sir, you should be careful when you go out," the man responded calmly to Lu Lin's question, "but what you said is a bit narrow-minded. "

"How many businesses in our city were negotiated at this banquet. The cost of organizing the banquet is not worth mentioning compared with the wealth brought by these businesses. "

"This is also one of the reasons why our city is so rich. Sir, besides ours, have you ever seen a city with such a scale and conditions that can be so rich?"

The man said it with great confidence, and even mocked Lu Lin's vision in his words, which made Lu Lin almost believe it.

Oh no.

The other party has said this, and he should believe it.

"I see," Lu Lin nodded, "So, do you have this banquet every day?"

"Yes, we hold banquets in the city hall in the city center every day," the man smiled and nodded.

"Well, that's it, I see," Lu Lin nodded, "We will go and have a look tomorrow, but we just arrived here today, and we are tired from the journey, so we plan to take a rest first, prepare the supplies, and then take a shower or something."

"Ah, these things, in fact, you can let me help you," the man said, "You can tell us if you need anything, and just throw the garbage in the garbage area outside, and someone will help to remove it later. As for bathing and resting, our banquet also has relevant arrangements, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

"Thank you for your kindness, but forget it, I don't want to go to the banquet in such a sloppy state without any preparation," Lu Lin smiled and shook his head.

"Ah, is that so," the man nodded, and the smile on his face faded a little, "Then we will bother you again tomorrow, I hope you have a good rest and have a good time in Kulanji."

After that, the man left with his guards.

Lu Lin smiled and waved goodbye to them, then slowly closed the door.

With the click of the door lock, the smile on Lu Lin's face disappeared.

Turning back and walking into the house, everyone in the living room had been waiting for a long time.

"What's the situation?" Jack Zhengyi asked first.

"We are being targeted, but I can't judge the reason at the moment," Lu Lin said, "It's the same situation as your master said, they want to invite us to a banquet."

"There is no reason for us to be suspected of being members of the Tianri Sect, right?" Si Li on the side interrupted.

"Well, that shouldn't be the case," Lu Lin said, "I told them that I wanted to rest and go to the banquet tomorrow. The man didn't seem very happy, but didn't force us to go. I think if we are suspected of having a relationship with the Tianri Sect, I'm afraid the other party won't be so easy to talk to."

"Yes, I once heard from my friends in the church that when we come to the church every day, they will stalk us and drag us to the banquet hall on the first day," Jack Zhengyi said, "And it is not just a banquet. , after you go there, they will wrap up your next schedule with a series of food, drinks and entertainment. Unless you ask to leave, they will not let you even take a step outside their control area."

"Wow, this sounds so exciting," Lan Jie sighed.

"Yeah, it's great, but it's a pity that we are not here for tourism," Lu Lin shrugged. "If they really make our life easier, we won't be able to do anything."

"But this also shows that they do have something to fear being discovered," Silly said, "otherwise they would have no reason to restrict even ordinary tourists."

"What should we do? Do we want to use the rest of the day to investigate?"

"Or do you want to find a way to get out of the banquet later?"

"No, both of these plans don't sound very reliable," Lu Lin shook his head. "They moved too fast, and the guy who came to us was also a smiling tiger. This place is much bigger than we first imagined. It’s dangerous. If we act rashly, our outcome will not be much better than that of the previous investigation team.”

"What do you think we should do?" Jack Justice asked.

"Follow their rules," Lu Lin said solemnly, "First of all, we must attend the banquet."

"The second point is that all of us must be under their surveillance."

"Third point, we cannot have a head-on conflict with them."

"We need to investigate here while ensuring these three points."

"Ah? What's going on?" Lan Jie looked confused.

"It's a bit overwhelming," Silly also shook her head.

"Not necessarily," Lu Lin said, "I do have a plan..."

Chapter 162: Your travel as a tourist is not based on petroleum, right?

That day, Lu Lin and others took a full day's rest as they said.

Lan Jie went out to purchase some supplies, and the process went smoothly. The shops here were not exclusive, and the prices were very good. However, during the process of purchasing supplies, Lan Jie noticed that there were soldiers secretly watching him. .

Of course, there are also soldiers secretly monitoring their earth dragons and snails.

They were not the only ones who received this treatment. On the same day, other teams arrived here, and one team also had an Earth Dragon. Everyone went to the banquet with the people here that day, but even so, their Earth Dragons also had the same Being watched.

Just as Lu Lin had judged before, this place was not a pure land of bliss. It was clearly a dangerous place where one could lose one's life at any time.

Of course, this is only the perspective of Lu Lin and others.

If you are just an ordinary tourist, you will probably have an unforgettable trip because of the warm and free hospitality here.

Early the next morning, the man who came yesterday came with a few more soldiers.

Just like yesterday, I came to invite Lu Lin and others to the banquet.

This time, Lu Lin did not refuse, and left Dilong with everyone who had already prepared, leaving only a few puppets and a stewed meat to look after the house.

In this regard, the man didn't say much, but Lu Lin estimated that with such a skill, they would definitely keep someone here to keep an eye on him.

This is also the result Lu Lin wants.

Soon, they were taken to the so-called banquet scene.

As expected, they were obviously not suspected of having anything to do with the Tianri Sect.

As for the reason...

They did not see the legendary city Qqun: 543659389$ lord.

Perhaps because it was morning, the venue for the banquet was not the city auditorium that someone mentioned yesterday, but a beautiful garden.

The garden is filled with well-tended shrubs and beautiful statues, as well as plenty of tables filled with a variety of snacks and drinks.

Lu Lin calmly checked it with both lenses. There was nothing wrong with the desserts here, they were just ordinary high-end desserts.

According to the man, this is their "breakfast banquet", which is where tourists are entertained for breakfast.

Of course, this scene looks more like afternoon tea for nobles than breakfast.

Lu Lin and others were not polite, and just like other tourists in the park, they had a hearty breakfast comfortably.

In fact, this may be the best breakfast Lu Lin has ever had since he came to this world. The variety of pastries is rich and the workmanship is exquisite. Even in the world of his previous life, it would have cost a fortune to have such a dessert. Less money.

But here, it's free.

Although Li Mi's face was as expressionless as ever, Lu Lin could tell from the speed and amount of food she ate that she seemed to be eating particularly happily.

That's right, a girl of this age should have a sweet tooth.

Not to mention raccoon rice, even Silly ate a lot of it calmly.

Of course, the one who is least picky is Tie Zhu. This guy’s taste in food seems to be particularly...

how to say.

original?

As long as it is a high-calorie food, he will almost instinctively prefer it. These desserts made of starch and sugar have naturally become his favorite. It is because of his size and his unsightly appearance that he attracts a lot of attention.

But when people saw his appearance, and looked at Jack Justice dressed as a gangster beside him, no one dared to say anything.

Compared to the feasting of these three, Lu Lin, Lan Jie and Jack Zhengyi were much calmer.

Although the food was delicious, they still had business to attend to, so the three of them were mainly focused on observing the scene.

"Almost all of them are tourists," Lu Lin whispered, "there are no locals at all."

"Huh? How did you tell?" Lan Jie asked.

"Demeanor, behavior, chat content, and clothing," Lu Lin said, "Of course, it may not be completely accurate, but it's almost right."

"It was originally said to be a banquet to entertain tourists, so it's not surprising that there are no locals," Jack Zhengyi continued.

"It's still quite strange," Lu Lin said, "According to the reception method of this city, everyone who comes here will be treated as a tourist. According to rumors, it has only expanded in recent years, and I think the population should have expanded along with the scale..."

"So, you mean that tourists can become citizens?" Jack Zhengyi asked.

"Well, to expand the population, we must attract citizens from tourists. I originally thought that this kind of banquet was used to attract citizens in addition to surveillance," Lu Lin whispered, "but now it seems that after becoming a citizen, I should not be able to continue to enjoy the banquet."

"If you really want to enjoy this banquet all the time, the best way is to be a tourist all the time."

"At least in my opinion, there will be many people in the chaotic land who are eager to enjoy this kind of banquet forever."

"In other words, this kind of banquet cannot attract citizens, but only tourists."

"But you also saw that the number of tourists here is not exaggerated."

Speaking of this, Lu Lin did not continue.

But at this moment, Lan Jie and Jack Zhengyi seemed to understand something.

The number of tourists is wrong.

If the banquet is really open without limit, the number of tourists here should have exploded long ago.

There must be something limiting the growth of the number of tourists.

"Become a citizen, or..." Lu Lin's eyes narrowed slightly.

In his recipe list, there are also recipes for using people as magic batteries.

But, is it that simple?

A city that uses tourists as nutrients to provide the entire city with prosperity, is this the truth here?

Lu Lin's intuition tells him that it is not that simple.

If this method is really feasible, given the habit of treating human lives as worthless in chaotic places, similar cities should have been full of streets long ago.

The magic power that ordinary people can provide as nutrients should still be very limited. If it only relies on tourists, this system may not work.

At this time, Lan Jie came over and asked, "Boss, what's the plan?"

"No hurry," Lu Lin said, "Let's talk about it when we meet the so-called city lord."

"Understood," Lan Jie nodded.
