Chapter 698 Negotiation Successful
"You know the guy who broke into the warehouse."
The corner of Stuka Lumen's lips twitched.
The voice was full of certainty and mixed emotions, making it impossible to figure out his emotions. "Now you even want to take them away in front of me, intact."
After these words were spoken.
Only then did he realize that he felt a bit like being betrayed.
This fact infuriated him.
Therefore, he clenched his five fingers tightly, grasped the pearl in his hand that he had been playing with just now, and crushed it with the force as if he wanted to vent something.
then.
Stuka Lumen chuckled again.
"Why?"
He didn't mind explaining it more clearly to the hybrid merman in front of him, "Do you know what mistake the people in this warehouse made?"
"They burned the offerings to my parents and brothers and sisters. This kind of thing cannot be ignored in any country. Let's just let it go. It's already a mercy of mine to leave them with intact bodies."
"It's a pity that they are hiding in this warehouse and you are unwilling to come out."
"I guess you don't need my mercy."
Having said this, he looked at the hybrid merman in front of him with disdain again.
The deep red eyes were filled with suppressed cruelty and sarcasm, and the voice sounded unhurried, "So even so, you still want me to let them go?"
"Then I'd like to see it."
"What can you do to impress me?"
Stuka Lumin crossed his arms, looking a little bit angry at the moment, "It's not what we said in the square just now, it's nothing to me."
"after all."
"I talk to countless people in a day, and you are not the most special one, unless you suddenly appear here."
"In another hour or two, I probably won't be able to remember what you look like."
When saying this.
He forced himself to ignore the fact that after he had spoken a few words to the hybrid merman, he unilaterally concluded that the other party was the relic of his brothers and was determined to take over the other party.
If he had not caught the suspect who burned the sacrifice, he would have knocked him out and forcibly taken him back to Stuhai.
Lu Chihuan pinched the bridge of his nose.
Slight headache.
He never imagined that the merman he met in the square was Stuka Lumin.
No wonder he always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he looked at the other person, and when he spoke he unknowingly revealed everything in his heart. It turned out that this was an instinctive reaction when meeting an acquaintance.
It's just that the other person's eyes changed color.
In addition, his temperament is no longer as romantic as before. He has become suspicious and cruel. This change is so drastic that it is almost unbelievable.
That was why he didn't recognize the person immediately for a while.
If only that was it.
What he didn't expect was that in the blink of an eye, Jinwu and Chunjing were blocked in the warehouse by Stuka Lumen.
The next moment it would be blown up for the crime of destroying the sacrifice.
This development is too magical.
To be honest, when he saw the message sent by Jinwu, he felt dizzy.
However, the most urgent task is to rescue Jinwu and the others first, so Lu Chihuan suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and raised his clear eyes to look at Stuka Lumen.
Not a necessary moment.
He didn't want to fight Stuka Lumin.
Firstly, he was concerned about the friendship between himself and Stuka Lumin from the main world.
Secondly, when he went to look for items containing energy next time, he would have to go to Stuhai, or even come to Stuka Lumin. It would be extremely disadvantageous to him to ruin his relationship with Stuhai's master now.
But he knew it in his heart.
There's no use playing the emotional card.
The Stuka Lumen in this branch world has undergone a major change.
The personality becomes suspicious and sensitive.
He was on guard against all foreigners in this world, so he certainly would not believe what happened in the main world. He would only think that it was a lie made up by Lu Chihuan in order to get close to him.
So now he had to come up with something useful to impress Stuka Lumen.
Fortunately.
The only difference between the main world and the branch world is him and the butterfly effect he brings. Some things are destined to happen, so he also knows some secrets.
Now facing Stuka Lumen's playful gaze, Lu Chihuan took a deep breath.
He dug his palm with his fingertips and pursed his light pink lips. After a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he slowly said, "I can give you some useful information."
Stuka Lumen scoffed at this.
He bent his fingers and tapped his arm, and said bluntly, "I don't think a half-blood merman like you can get access to any precious information that is worth a few lives."
"But you can tell me."
"I'm all ears."
Until now, his expression and posture were still relaxed, as if he didn't take Lu Chihuan's words to heart at all.
Lu Chihuan looked at the guards around him.
The white and slender finger touched the tip of his nose, and then hesitantly asked, "Are you sure... you want me to tell this information in front of so many people?"
"Perhaps you will regret it."
Stuka Lumen's patience had been mostly worn out, and his pair of pigeon-blood-red eyes in the darkness were like the eyes of a trapped beast, filled with a bit of irritability and displeasure.
"Why keep it a secret?"
He narrowed his eyes again, and his tone sounded a little ambiguous. "You are not deliberately delaying time for the suspect in the warehouse, are you? If that is your plan..."
"That's no use."
Lu Chihuan glanced at him half helplessly, as if he had no way to deal with Stuka Lumin's unyielding attitude.
So he could only grit his teeth.
Her thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembled, and then she slowly squeezed out a word from her throat to remind the other party, "Do you still remember the founding emperor of your mermaid tribe..."
"The tomb where he was buried."
As soon as these words came out.
Almost immediately, he stepped on the Stuka Lumen's weak spot.
His face was dark and furious.
The guards standing nearby also felt their scalps tingling. They dared not utter a single sound, fearing that their emperor would punish them all in a rage.
After all, everyone knows.
The previous incident that happened to the mermaid royal family was caused by the tomb of this founding emperor. It is said that this tomb contains countless rare treasures, elixirs, and a magical weapon that can make a person invincible in this world.
So people from other planets flocked to the treasures in this tomb.
They spied on Stuhai.
After finding out the location of the mausoleum, they adopted an extremely extreme method because they could not open the door of the mausoleum.
blood sacrifice.
Drain the blood of the Stuhai royal family and water this gate with blood.
At that time, people from other planets had almost succeeded, but at the critical moment, their emperor, heartbroken, broke through the limitations of his mental power and drove this group of people out of Stu Sea.
Unfortunately.
His Majesty the Emperor's parents and brothers and sisters either died together with the people on other planets or could not be rescued due to excessive blood loss. In the end, only His Majesty the Emperor and the eldest prince who had fallen into a coma a few years ago survived.
However, the eldest prince was almost like a vegetable, lying in bed in a coma for years, unable to perceive what was happening outside.
He is a living dead.
and so.
Until now, His Majesty the Emperor is still alone, guarding the empty palace alone, with no relatives to rely on.
Because the tomb of the founding emperor brought disaster to His Majesty the Emperor, even after His Majesty the Emperor broke through the limitations of his mental strength and became the mermaid with the purest blood in the mermaid royal family, he still never opened the tomb.
Even the word mausoleum has become a taboo in Stuhai.
The person in front of me actually said it so brazenly. I don't know if he is a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, or he is heading towards the mountain of tigers even though he knows there is a tiger there.
"If you say this to irritate me, then..."
"you made it."
Stuka Lumen raised his hand.
The deep red eyes stared at Lu Chihuan intently, their gaze was cold and fierce, as if he was looking at someone who was doomed to die.
A golden scepter appeared in his hand in an instant. He merely touched the ground with the scepter, and several ice cones formed by condensed sea water pierced towards Lu Chihuan.
It was as if he was going to be pricked into a hedgehog.
Fortunately, Lu Chihuan reacted quickly.
In addition, his mental power was hundreds of times stronger than before, so he released his mental power reflexively and used it to open a protective shield in front of him to block Stuka Lumen's attack.
"and many more!"
Seeing that Stuka Lumin was already angry, Lu Chihuan no longer hesitated and said what he wanted to say in one breath, "Have you seen any signs of ground tremors or dormant volcanoes awakening in recent years in Stuhai?"
"I know what's going on!"
As soon as these words came out.
Stuka Lumen's pupils shrank unconsciously, and the movement of his hands paused.
This is Misin belonging to Stuhai.
This was a fact he confirmed only after repeated surveys.
Why……
The half-blood merman in front of me would know.
Seeing that Stuka Lumen hesitated, Lu Chihuan let out a breath softly. His clean and bright eyes looked directly at the other party, and his voice was crisp and pleasant.
"I also know the solution to this omen. This is the information I want to exchange with you. What do you think?"
Stuka Lumin's suspicious look swept across Lu Chihuan.
Reason told him.
He shouldn't have believed this hybrid merman who suddenly appeared.
The other party's appearance was extremely coincidental, but he knew the secrets of their mermaid clan. It was very likely that he was sent by people from other small planets to test him. If he believed them and fell into the trap...
There is a high possibility that there will be no recovery after that.
but.
When he thought of the earthquake in Stuhai and the volcano that was about to wake up from dormancy, he inevitably felt anxious and nervous. Before his death, his father left Stuhai and the mermaids to him for his protection.
He didn't want to disappoint his father who was still in heaven.
A split second of effort.
An intense struggle showed on Stuka Lumin's face. After a moment, he rubbed his temple hard, and his knuckles turning white as he gripped the scepter, but he finally compromised.
"can."
Lu Chihuan breathed a sigh of relief.
But their deal was just a verbal agreement, and if Stuka Lumin went back on his word, he would have no way to settle the account.
So he dropped his eyes.
After a hint of contemplation flashed across her eyes, she curved the corners of her lips towards Stuka Lumen, revealing her dimples, as if they were filled with amber honey.
With a little bit of rich sweetness.
"This matter is related to the secret of your royal family of Stuhai. I don't think you would want others to hear it. Why don't you get closer?"
"I'll whisper it to you."
Stuka Lumen was extremely intolerant of contact with other people.
but.
He stared at the handsome mixed-blood merman in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking. His deep red eyes suddenly dimmed, as if some idea was gradually forming in his mind.
After a moment, Stuka Lumen curled his lips again and nodded in agreement in a rather decisive manner, "Okay."
This was so refreshing that it was almost unlike him.
After hearing this, the subordinates beside him hurriedly stopped him, "Your Majesty."
"Who knows if he asked you to go there to plot against you? This is too dangerous. Why don't you let me go for you? I promise I will hear you..."
He hasn't finished talking yet.
Stuka Lumin frowned and took a few steps forward, as if he had already turned a deaf ear to his subordinate's words. He looked at the other person with a half-smile in his eyes that concealed a bit of ferocity and tyranny, "Have you ever seen me afraid of anyone?"
He is not afraid of death.
Nor is he afraid of any danger.
No matter how desperate and painful things were, Stuhai had experienced them all on the day when the accident happened, and nothing could defeat him anymore.
Think of this.
He walked up to the hybrid merman with a frank manner, then raised his chin, indicating that the other party could speak now.
But his gaze was like a sharp knife, wanting to peel off the other party's disguise, go straight into the essence and soul, and see what secrets this hybrid merman was hiding.
Lu Chihuan didn't keep anyone in suspense.
He lowered his voice and said, "All the chaos in Stuhai is because of that magic weapon. Do you still remember how the place where you live now was discovered?"
"It was the founding emperor who used that magic weapon to change the terrain and make your residence livable, so we have everything we have now, but this cannot last forever."
"so--"
"You need to enter the tomb and bring out the magic weapon again."
Lu Chihuan paused.
He lowered his voice again, "But there are many tests in the mausoleum. Whether you can see the magic weapon is unknown. I have a simple method."
He stopped talking here.
At this moment, he looked up at Stuka Lumen and said, "If your majesty wants to know, please promise to let us leave safely."
Stuka Lumin was still thinking about that magical weapon.
Hearing this, he raised the corner of his lips.
"Are you threatening me?"
Lu Chihuan said in a firm and clear voice, "You misunderstood. I just wanted to provide some protection for our transaction."
Stuka Lumin folded his arms and looked down at him, his expression somewhat ambiguous, "Has anyone ever told you that you seem naive? If you are the first to put all your chips on the table, you may be turned against..."
This sentence has not yet been finished.
He stretched out his hand as fast as lightning, and was about to grab the white neck and thin shoulders of the hybrid merman in front of him.
This is an offensive posture.
