No strange things are allowed to evolve!

"It's alright, it's our fault for not explaining things clearly beforehand."

After hearing her words, Strawberry Milkshake felt that Windsor's attitude towards her suddenly became more enthusiastic, and she kept urging her to eat more vegetables.

It seems she was genuinely worried that she had offended me and made me unhappy.

She is such a gentle person.

Thinking of this, Strawberry said from the bottom of her heart, "You are such a kind person."

Jiang Shu, standing to the side, nodded in deep agreement.

"She's a nice person; we just had a long chat."

Chapter 100: The Poet of Lies is Full of Contradictions, But Jiang Shu Does Not.

As soon as Jiang Shu finished speaking, Windsor's face suddenly turned red, and she slowly lowered her head.

Strawberry Milkshake was also taken aback, feeling that Jiang Shu's emphasis was a bit strange.

Why is the emphasis on the word "流" in this sentence?

That's a really hard-to-understand way of speaking...

As the three ate their meal and chatted casually, time passed quickly.

During this time, Windsor would occasionally get up to help guests check out and return their deposits.

Almost every guest checking out couldn't help but glance at Jiang Shu a couple more times before leaving.

They never imagined that this ordinary-looking man with an Asian appearance, who looked thinner than anyone else present, could so easily defeat the red-haired Ron.

If you have this kind of talent, why do you dream of being a poet of lies?

Jiang Shu did not react to these strange looks.

He was like a lion entrenched in his own territory, minding his own business as he ate the food on his plate, replenishing what he had consumed the night before.

Only when Ron, with his head wrapped in gauze, deliberately avoided Jiang Shu and sneaked away did Jiang Shu shift her gaze and glance at him again.

Before they even started talking in depth last night, when they were discussing replacing this guy as a bodyguard and hitching a ride to Lies Town, Windsor had already given Jiang Shu a brief introduction to his situation.

Although the other party did not possess the "Mouth of God," he was a mercenary with a small reputation in the area, having retired from Lies Town, and was said to have personally killed low-level magical beasts.

Those of lower rank, who are not yet able to freely use the "Mouth of God" to lie, may not be his match.

This is why Windsor initially sought his help.

This is also why Windsor was able to easily agree to let Jiang Shu become her bodyguard.

Jiang Shu then realized that he had been deceived again.

It's true that being a poet of lies is the most powerful profession in the world, after all, this continent is called the Continent of Lies, and the core city of the continent is called the Town of Lies.

But the poet of lies is not the only extraordinary profession in the world, nor is he the most beloved one.

In fact, because the way "lying poets" enhance their power is by constantly betraying the trust of others and hurting them, their reputation has always been very bad.

There's even a saying circulating among the people: if your enemy suddenly starts to ease and improve his relationship with you, then don't doubt it, he must have recently gained the "mouth of God" and become a poet of lies.

This illustrates just how unpopular they are.

So when Jiang Shu entered yesterday, his shout of "The Poet of Lies has arrived!" was almost as hilarious as yelling "The Witch has arrived! Get out of the way!" at countless knights and doctors during the Black Death in the Middle Ages.

It's just that this place is remote enough, not the kind of place that produces poets who lie, so the locals haven't been persecuted to a great extent, and they don't believe that Jiang Shu would be a poet who lies, so they didn't take it too seriously.

So when Jiang Shu learned all this and recalled the village chief's words, he found it inexplicably funny.

What do you mean by "famous"? Isn't this just "infamous"?

After all, the higher the level of a poet of lies, the more people he has deceived and the more terrible consequences he has caused, right?

You can tell how scum a person is just by looking at them.

The so-called "Mouth of God" rank can be used as a standard for sentencing.

The reason why the poets of lies can still exist legitimately, instead of being captured and roasted like witches, can only be attributed to their considerable power.

So powerful that a high-level Lie Poet can have the ability to make their words come true, and can rival an army of thousands with their own strength.

When facing monsters or other disasters, a hundred or even a thousand mercenaries like Ron are no match for a poet of lies with this ability.

Strictly speaking, a poet of lies is essentially a heretical version of a magician.

People on the mainland both need the protection of the poets of lies and are impressed by their powerful strength, but at the same time, they are also troubled by their way of growing up.

The experience of sacrificing a small group of people in the online game "Lies Continent" gave birth to "Lies Poets," who then went on to benefit the remaining large group of people. This resulted in the existence of Lies Poets being full of contradictions.

They are both respected and despised.

Both great and despicable.

Watching Ron slink away like a stray dog ​​with a broken leg, Jiang Shu pondered these things while muttering to himself:

"Lies Town..."

"What's wrong?" Strawberry Milkshake asked.

"It's nothing." Jiang Shu came back to her senses: "I was just thinking that there must be a lot of poets who lie there."

“Definitely.” Strawberry Milkshake nodded. “Didn’t they say that all the best liar poets on the entire continent gathered there?”

"Oh, yes."

"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Strawberry Milkshake smiled and raised an eyebrow. "Don't be nervous. We don't even know what mission objective two is yet. Maybe we won't even need to deal with them."

"It's not nervousness," Jiang Shu shook her head.

"What's wrong?" Strawberry Milkshake asked curiously.

Jiang Shu thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing."

"Tch." The strawberry milkshake made a dissatisfied sound: "You're really good at keeping people in suspense."

Jiang Shu shrugged.

I'm planning to go and teach them a lesson.

He thought to himself.

......

squeak-

The wheels of the carriage groaned under the strain.

It had already broken down once, shortly after it set off.

Fortunately, Jiang Shu was skilled in many things and mastered car repair techniques early on.

Although he could only make some simple fixation to the wheel hub due to the lack of materials, and he would check and reinforce it every day, at least he was able to make it to Lie Town without any major problems.

Today is the fourth day since we left the hotel.

The sky gradually brightened.

Strawberry Milkshake sat on the edge of the carriage, hugging her legs, swaying back and forth, looking drowsy with dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept well.

Jiang Shu held the reins in one hand and rested her chin on her other hand, chatting casually with Strawberry Milkshake.

"Did you dream of a cat meowing again?"

"Yeah," Strawberry Milkshake nodded, somewhat annoyed. "It feels like that cry has been chasing me since day one. Could it be some kind of negative attribute of the hatchery?"

Windsor was catching up on sleep in the carriage. She had been doing this every day for the past few days, and Strawberry Milkshake had figured out the routine. So, she didn't shy away from using any special words in her conversation with Jiang Shu.

“That’s unlikely,” Jiang Shu denied. “I didn’t dream of cats meowing.”

That's why I find it strange.

Strawberry Milkshake sighed:

"And I always feel that the sound is getting stranger and stranger, or rather... more and more natural?"

"How to say?"

"It's a feeling I can't quite describe," Strawberry Milkshake said, frowning. "It's like, at first, a little uneasy, like the feeling of just bringing a kitten home... Speaking of which, have you ever owned a cat?"

“I raised one when I was a child, it’s fine, you can understand.”

"Well, that's how it is at the beginning. It's full of unfamiliarity. But after getting used to the surrounding environment, it becomes more and more natural. Besides shouting, sometimes there are big movements, like running around and jumping around."

“Oh, that’s right, your description is very accurate.” Jiang Shu nodded in agreement.

"Especially last night, I felt like she was jumping around outside my tent, but when I went out to check, there was nothing there. It was really eerie." Strawberry Milkshake still gets goosebumps when she thinks about it now.

"Maybe you're under too much pressure," Jiang Shu said casually.

Strawberry Milkshake said in great pain, "I don't know how long this will last. If this continues, I'm really going to have a nervous breakdown."

"It should be over soon," Jiang Shu said casually. "It might be the work of magical beasts. Once we enter Lies Town, it shouldn't be like this anymore."

"I hope so..."

It must be said that the strawberry milkshake brand is indeed very thoughtful.

She could hear the changes in Windsor's voice and judge her condition.

Even Jiang Shu admired this; it was clear he had actually owned cats.

Actually, on the morning of the second day after setting off, or more precisely, after spending the night in the wild, Strawberry Milkshake solemnly recounted this strange incident to Jiang Shu and Windsor.

Windsor hesitated for a moment and privately told Jiang Shu that perhaps they should just be patient with each other for the next few days.

But as expected, Jiang Shu refused.

Because he hadn't fully explored this unprecedented demi-human, he hadn't used all his skills on Windsor yet, and every day still brought new and exciting experiences.

It's such a rare opportunity to experience something new and enjoyable, how could I possibly give up halfway just because of this annoying strawberry milkshake?

Windsor said, "What should we do then?"

She was very worried about being discovered.

Jiang Shu raised his finger and said, "I have a plan."

So every day, before the three of them said goodnight to each other and returned to their own tents, Jiang Shu would earnestly tell Strawberry Milkshake that she was going to sleep.

I didn't think much of it when I made the strawberry milkshake.

Why worry about going to sleep? Do you think he'd lie to me? What else could he do besides sleep?

She naturally believed it so easily.

Then the next night, the two of them became a little bolder.

Last night they went even further, going directly to the strawberry milkshake tent.

However, since Strawberry Milkshake firmly believed that the two were asleep, she found nothing when she went out to check.

To her, the two were fast asleep in the tent.

Strawberry Milkshake was unaware that the sounds were coming from the two of them, so she could still hear the noise.

Yes, the abilities of the poet of lies are just that idealistic, and just that interesting.

Although Jiang Shu is only at the second level and has very limited ability to change reality, as long as you don't touch her, Strawberry Milkshake will be just like her sleeping husband, her child doing homework, the teacher outside the activity room, or the centipede at the village entrance—she won't see anything and won't notice anything unusual.

Spurred on by the sight of the strawberry milkshake, Windsor skipped breakfast and went to catch up on sleep early in the car.

She inevitably learned of Jiang Shu's identity as a poet of lies, but this time she no longer harbored any prejudice against poets of lies.

She deeply realized that power can have different effects in different hands.

It's not the fault of power, it's the fault of people.

Because the strawberry milkshake was kept in the dark, every time she dreamed of cats meowing, it was an unbearable torment for her.

So while she gained meager power of lies by deceiving the stone every day, Jiang Shu was able to fleece the noble first-tier lie poet every day.

In just a few days, he was about to advance to the third level.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu smiled.

As long as the person being lied to doesn't know they've been deceived, the "lying poet" won't bring betrayal upon them.

That's how this profession is played!
