The career of an evil alchemist started when he picked up the Mad Sword Girl

Or maybe their identities have stimulated each other's nerves?

Are the people here wary of the Black Demon School?

A bunch of thoughts flashed through Lu Lin's mind instantly, but on his face, Lu Lin made a wary expression and asked: "Huh? Banquet? Do you charge money?"

As soon as he said this, the man immediately laughed and said: "Don't worry, there is no charge. This banquet is sponsored by our city lord. It is specifically for tourists. First, it is to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and secondly, it is with everyone." Get to know each other and make friends.”

"So good?" Lu Lin still showed a vigilant look that didn't know anything. "Are you really the city lord's people? You can't be liars, right? What benefit can the city lord do to him by hosting such a wasteful banquet? ?”

"Haha, as expected of a gentleman from the Black Demon School, he is indeed cautious when going out." Faced with Lu Lin's question, the man still responded calmly, "But what you said is a bit narrow-minded."

"I don't know how many businesses in our city have been negotiated at this banquet. The cost of organizing a banquet is nothing compared to the wealth brought by these businesses."

"This is one of the reasons why our city is so wealthy. I would like to ask, sir, apart from ours, have you ever seen a city of this size, with such conditions, that can be so wealthy?"

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

Oh no.

After what the other party said, it was time for him to believe it.

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

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

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

"Ah, in fact, you can leave these things to me for help," the man said. "If you need anything, you can tell us. Just throw the garbage in the garbage area outside. Someone will help clean it up later. Yes, as for bathing and resting, we also have relevant arrangements for the banquet to ensure that you will be satisfied."

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

"Ah, that's right," the man nodded, and the smile on his face faded. "Then we won't bother you again tomorrow. I hope you all have a good rest and have a good time in Kuranji."

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 closing, 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.

"How is the situation?" Jack Justice asked first.

"They're being targeted, but I can't tell the reason at the moment," Lu Lin said. "It's just like what your master said. They want to invite us to a banquet."

"There's no reason for us to be suspected of being members of the Tianri Sect, right?" Silly interjected from the side.

"Well, that shouldn't be the case," Lu Lin said. "I used the excuse that I wanted to rest and told them that we would go to the banquet tomorrow. The man didn't seem very happy, but he didn't force us to go. I think , if you are suspected of having something to do 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, drink, and entertainment. Unless you ask to leave, they will not let you leave their control area even one step."

"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 end won’t 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 oil, 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 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 stew 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 why...

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 with the feasting of these three men, Lu Lin, Lan Jie and Jack Zhengyi are much calmer.

Although the food was delicious, it was still business after all, and the three of them mainly focused on observing the scene.

"Almost all are tourists," Lu Lin whispered, "There are no locals at all."

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

"The demeanor, the behavior, the content of the chat, and the clothes," Lu Lin said. "Of course, it may not be completely accurate, but it is close to the same."

"Originally, it was said to be a banquet for tourists, so it's not surprising that there are no locals," Jack Zhengyi answered.

"It's 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. I want to come The population should also expand along with the scale..."

"So, you are saying that it is possible for tourists to become citizens?" Jack Justice asked.

"Well, to expand the population, we must attract citizens from tourists. I originally thought that this kind of banquet was not only for surveillance, but also for recruiting citizens," Lu Lin said in a low voice, "But now it seems that after becoming a citizen, I probably won’t be able to continue enjoying the banquet.”

"If you really want to enjoy this banquet forever, the best way is to remain a tourist."

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

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

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

At this point, Lu Lin did not continue.

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

The number of tourists is wrong.

If the banquet was really open without restrictions, the number of tourists here would have exploded long ago.

There must be something limiting the growth in visitor numbers.

"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 nourishment to feed the prosperity of the entire city. Is this the truth here?

Intuition told Lu Lin that it was not that simple.

If this method was really feasible, given the habit of treating human life as trivial in a chaotic place, cities like this should have filled the streets long ago.

The magic power that ordinary people can provide as nourishment should be very limited. If it relies only on tourists, this system may not be able to operate.

At this time, Lan Jie came over and asked, "Boss, what do you say about the plan?"

"There's no rush," Lu Lin said, "We'll wait until we meet the so-called city lord."

"Understood," Lan Jie nodded.

After that, Lan Jie took the cup and went around looking for someone to chat with.

He was also good at this. He could get some information by chatting here and there.

Lu Lin continued to guard Li Mi Xuanfan.

Jack Zhengyi didn't dare to do unnecessary things, and he didn't run around. Like Lu Lin, he also went to guard the iron pillar to enjoy his meal.

At this moment, Silly, who had been tasting desserts before, turned back, came to sit next to the two of them, and whispered in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "Found it."

"So fast?" Lu Lin raised his eyebrows.

"Actually, it's quite obvious. There is magic power supply equipment over there in the kitchen," Silly said. "The source of magic power is underground, but I'm not sure where it comes from."

"Well, it's enough to know this for now," Lu Lin nodded, "Let's talk about something else now, don't be too eye-catching."

Chapter 163 Are you stuck here?

The breakfast banquet seems to last until ten o'clock in the morning. Although the dishes are rich and freshly made desserts are constantly being replenished, Lu Lin, a group of people who came here around seven o'clock in the morning, must stay here until ten o'clock. , it’s really not reasonable.

The people here obviously took this into consideration, so around eight o'clock, a gate in the garden was opened, and service staff on site began to guide tourists who had finished breakfast to enter and go to other areas.

Lu Lin waited until Li Mi and Tiezhu were full, and then naturally followed the guidance and left the breakfast venue.

After coming out of the breakfast venue, everyone came to a larger garden square. There was a clear pool in the square, and in the center of the pool, there was a huge statue.

The statue depicts a middle-aged uncle with a kind face, covered in brocade robes, with his hair combed back, his eyes bright, and a soft smile on his face.

According to the introduction, the person carved in this statue is none other than the city lord here.

But the sculpture is still a sculpture after all, and it is an image that has been beautified, so Lu Lin just took a cursory look, memorized the face of the sculpture, and stopped focusing on the sculpture.

There are four roads in four directions on the four sides of the statue or pool. One road is the direction Lu Lin and others came from, connecting to the garden where the breakfast banquet was arranged. The other three directions connect three different places to go.
