Chapter 78: Bribery

Lan Wu and his party came out of the teleportation hall and walked onto the wide and flat gravel-paved street.

Lu Gaoyin is indeed very prosperous. People come and go on the wide and flat streets. The stone buildings are neat and beautiful. People live upstairs and shops are downstairs. Civilians dressed in desert-style clothing stand in front of the shops and work hard to attract customers.

Compared with here, the Rogue Camp is simply a remote town with no one to do anything.

Seeing this team of guards escorting Lan Wu and his party, pedestrians on the road avoided them. They looked at Lan Wu and his party curiously, pointing and talking from time to time, and occasionally a few words of conversation floated.

"How did they offend the city guards?"

"I heard that these people came from the Rogue Camp."

"Oh, no wonder."

"The wise Majesty Jie Haiyin should not accept these country bumpkins."

"..."

Hearing these unscrupulous insults to the Rogue Camp, everyone except Lan Wu and Irene looked very ugly. Flora looked back at the team of guards following behind her a few meters away, and her teeth were chattering with anger.

This was clearly intended to embarrass the Rogue Camp.

"Lord God, we should be tougher." Avila glanced back at the guards who were guarding as if they were guarding against thieves, her face gloomy. Her tone was a little stiff, and there was a little more alienation. Obviously, she was not very happy with Lan Wu's approach.

"We are the envoys of the Rogue Camp." Xia emphasized the pronunciation, emphasizing the current identity of her group.

"Lord God must have his reasons. We should believe him." Fu Ya, contrary to her usual behavior, quietly defended Lan Wu.

Lan Wu was very surprised. He didn't expect Fu Ya to have such high confidence in himself. He thought about it, looked back at the guards not far behind him, and then looked past them and fell on the professionals or civilians who were watching the excitement nearby.

"Then let them invite us back?" Lan Wu looked back at Avila and the others.

"This won't wash away the shame." Xia was so angry that she almost went crazy.

Avila seemed calmer. She chose to accept Fuya's proposal and looked at Lanwu.

"What if we let Jiehein come out in person to invite us back?" Lanwu blinked his eyes with a strange expression.

Seeing the strange smile on Lanwu's face, Xia hesitated. At this moment, she seemed to see her teacher. Whenever Kidd was thinking about how to cheat people, he would have this strange expression on his face. She hesitated for a moment and nodded uncertainly.

Jiehein is the ruler of Lu Gaoyin. If he can come in person to invite his group back, the reputation of the Rogue Camp will not be affected much, and it can even be slightly improved.

But the problem is, how could such an ambitious king like Jiehein come out in person to increase the value of the Rogue Camp?

Lanwu smiled and pulled Irene and Flora to continue walking forward. Avila and the others hesitated for a moment, and could only follow them with their heads down.

Along the way, more and more professionals and civilians learned that these professionals had trespassed into Lugaoin and were escorted out of the city by the city guards. They immediately gathered from all directions with great interest to see these idiots make a fool of themselves.

More and more people gathered. But no one blocked Lan Wu and his party. This was not because they were afraid of these professionals. They were more afraid of the team of guards following behind.

"Ha, these idiots actually entered Lugaoin without any credentials."

As time went on, more details have been discovered by the general public. It has to be said that human gossip desire is endless. Just after passing the first city wall, the details of Lan Wu and his party were completely dug out.

"This country bumpkin is actually a God-Blessed One?"

"Idiot, only in Lugaoin can there be a God-Blessed One. He must be a fake."

"He dares to pretend to be a God-Blessed One. Isn't he afraid of being punished by the gods?"

"How can these stupid country bumpkins be believers of the gods?"

"..."

The captain of the city guard followed the team at the end, listening to the discussions around him, feeling very comfortable. This time, he successfully completed Gross's task, and his position might be promoted.

"Make them embarrassed, the more embarrassing the better."

Gross's order vaguely echoed in his ears, and the corners of the captain's mouth curled up slightly. The current situation obviously met Gross's requirements.

Soon, Lan Wu and his party passed through the second city wall. More and more people followed behind to watch the fun. The news that the Rogge Camp delegation was about to be driven out of Lugaoin had spread throughout Lugaoin. No one was willing to miss this opportunity to highlight their own pride.

The third city wall was also passed. There were only two walls left to the gate of Lugaoin. The captain of the city guards didn't bother to pay attention to the fact that Lan Wu and his group were walking slower and slower. On the contrary, he wished that these lowly people from the Rogue Camp would walk as slowly as possible.

Gross mixed in the crowd, with a slight arc on his lips, feeling extremely happy. It was this damned God-Blessed who made him look so bad in the Rogue Camp. He contributed a batch of equipment to the Rogue Camp for nothing, and also became the cornerstone of the success of the Rogue Camp Professional Guild.

"What a pity." Gross still felt a little regretful. The order given to him by Jie Haiyin was to deliberately suppress the Rogue Camp envoys and strive to gain an advantage, rather than really drive the envoys out of Lugaoin.

After all, the Rogue Camp is also one of the five major human settlements.

It's OK to do it secretly. But if you do it openly, Kurast Harbor and other three settlements will definitely take advantage of the situation and attack Lugoin. This will be a disaster for Lugoin.

Especially Kurast Harbor.

This giant city-state across the sea from Lugoin has a longer and more prosperous history. Lugoin is eager to grab the third place, and Kurast Harbor has long disliked Lugoin. Once there is this excuse, Kurast Harbor only needs to impose a trade embargo, and Lugoin, a desert country, will fall from grace and no longer be prosperous.

How could Jhein let Kurast Harbor find an excuse to impose an embargo.

Gross was full of confidence, and he showed up to stop the city guards as soon as Lanwu and his party passed the fourth wall. In this way, Kurast Harbor had no excuse. Rogue Camp, especially that damned God's Grace, also lost face.

The fourth wall was soon passed. Gross walked up with a victorious smile and a brisk pace. He walked behind the captain of the city guard and shouted in a pretentious manner: "What happened?"

The captain of the city guard already knew how to act, and immediately saluted and replied seriously: "Lord Gross, they trespassed into Lugoin without Andariel's venom. According to the decree, I must expel them from Lugoin."

The answer, neither humble nor arrogant, immediately caused unanimous applause from the civilians around. Several ragged beggars were so excited that they seemed to have eaten a big meal, and their faces were flushed and cheered loudly. At this time, no one disliked these beggars, and the civilians around them also echoed loudly, with pride on their faces.

Those country bumpkins in the Rogue Camp should not have set foot on the land of Lugoin.

"They are the envoys of the Rogue Camp." Gross's face darkened.

"I am acting in accordance with the decree of His Majesty Jerhain." The voice of the captain of the city guard rose eight degrees, looking loyal to the law.

"Yes, no matter who they are. If you enter Lugaoin, you must abide by our decree." An angry protest broke out in the crowd, which immediately resonated with everyone present.

In the excitement, Gross and the captain of the city guard exchanged a look secretly. The latter understood and immediately shouted again: "Lord Gross, I know you don't want to see Lugaoin and Rogge Camp at odds. But the decree is the decree. Unless you step over my dead body, I will definitely expel these guys who trespassed into Lugaoin from Lugaoin."

"Pay attention to your identity." Gross's eyes flashed with a happy smile, and he also raised his voice.

The captain of the city guard did not show any weakness and insisted on expelling Lan Wu and his party from Lugaoin. The two confronted each other on the street like fighting cocks.

The professionals and civilians around knew that the law did not punish the masses, and they took advantage of the chaos to loudly condemn Gross for violating the decree issued by His Majesty Jehain.

"Noisy, noisy as much as you want." Gross was in a good mood and didn't care about the noise at all. The more these people quarreled, the more they hated the Rogue Camp. Invisibly, they put huge pressure on the professionals who came from the Rogue Camp, forcing them to forget their past identities and serve Lugaoin wholeheartedly.

"Ahem." Two light coughs drifted into Gross's ears. It was not until then that he realized that Lan Wu had walked in front of him without knowing when. He couldn't help sweating, secretly reviewing that he was a little too complacent, so that he didn't even know that someone was approaching.

"Hey, Gross, take us to the port. We'll leave Lugaoin immediately." Lan Wu shouted loudly. There was no way, the surroundings were too noisy.

Despite this, Gross still didn't hear clearly. His heart tightened, and he immediately glanced at the captain of the city guard. The latter understood and immediately led his men to maintain order.

Soon, under the threat of the sharp spears in the hands of the guards, the excited civilians immediately quieted down.

"What did you say just now?" Gross put on a friendly smile.

"Please take us to the port. We are going to Kurast Harbor." Lan Wu looked helpless.

"What are you going to Kurast Harbor for?" Gross felt uneasy when he heard the words that were different from the intelligence.

"Just to discuss the cooperation between the two sides." Lan Wu said lightly.

"What cooperation?" Gross frowned.

"Nothing, just a little thing." Lan Wu answered without leaking any information.

Gross forced a smile and immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to embarrass Lan Wu and his party here, and went straight to the point: "This is a misunderstanding. Compared with the distant Kurast Harbor, Lu Gaoyin is obviously more suitable to be your partner."

"Sorry, this is the order of Lord Akara." Lan Wu looked apologetic.

"Your target is Lu Gaoyin." Gross lowered his voice, his face a little ugly.

"You forced me." Lan Wu also lowered his voice: "I only have one condition, let His Majesty Jehain come in person to invite us back."

"That's impossible." Gross flatly refused.

"Tristram." Lan Wu uttered a place name softly.

Gross' eyes widened immediately. After a long while, he regained his composure and gritted his teeth and blurted out: "Okay, I promise to ask His Majesty to come and ask you to go back."
