Chapter 81: The Dragon (5)
Facing the empty room, Eleven took out four folding chairs from his bracelet.
Ling Rui took the chair with a smile. "You three always surprise me. Now we can only sit and wait for dawn."
"Maybe it won't take that long. There are two groups of people outside who are passing merchants. One group says they are artists who are here to perform at the Dragon Slaying Festival, and another group says they are wealthy people who are planning to open a store here. Who do you think is the most suspicious?"
Eleven shared the information he overheard with the other three, and they all fell silent.
"What's wrong? You don't even want to guess such an easy question?"
"Do we need to guess? The entertainers are definitely the most suspicious. They bring the most things with them, and since they are invited here, they will definitely not be checked carefully. All we have to do is blend in or simply pretend to be them."
Ye Fei rolled her eyes at Eleven with disdain.
"The merchants are also suspicious. They carry goods with them, and who knows if there are any hidden things inside." Eleven argued unwillingly.
"Merchants don't live in private houses. When you were following them, didn't you end up in a residential area?" Ling Rui briefly stated the key point.
"It's boring. There's no fun at all." Eleven didn't want to continue chatting and concentrated on eavesdropping on what was going on outside.
The three of them looked at him, trying to hold back their laughter and frowning from time to time, and they had roughly guessed what was happening outside.
"I think the elder is going crazy. The sacred stone sculpture was just blown up, and now someone reports that many people have been poisoned."
Eleven's face is full of gossip.
After hearing this, Ye Fei walked to the door and looked out from the small window on it.
Soon the commotion outside grew louder and louder, and many people came running to the elders crying.
Before they knew it, it was already daybreak. The person who was said to send them off did not come, but instead, a cold-hearted man arrived.
"Many people in this town were poisoned last night. You four drank tea too, so why are you all fine? I think you were the ones who blew up the stone sculpture and poisoned it."
The man motioned for his men behind him to come in and escort the four people to the elder.
"We are not poisoned because we know how to detoxify." Ling Rui stood up and answered coldly.
Seeing that the four people were still calm, the man found them even more suspicious.
"When we get to the elders, they will naturally find a way to make you tell the truth. Bring the person over to me."
The younger brothers behind them rushed in, and in groups of two, they escorted them to the room where the elders were.
"Don't be afraid, just hide behind me when the fight starts." Eleven's voice came into Ye Fei's mind, and Ye Fei smiled slightly.
The four were escorted into a room. In the room, besides the elder from last night and the two burly bodyguards beside him, there were several other people.
Those were also the outsiders who were interrogated last night. Ye Fei remembered that they were among the group of artists who came to perform.
"We originally agreed to send someone to escort you away today, but now things have changed. Many people in this town have been poisoned, and you guys are the outsiders who have not been poisoned. This is just too much of a coincidence."
A man shouted at the elders before they could speak.
The elder tapped the ground lightly with his cane a few times, and the man stood aside respectfully.
"Why don't you tell me why you are not poisoned?"
"Because we know how to detoxify." Ling Rui held a small bottle in his hand and shook it.
The man walked over quickly, snatched the small bottle from Ling Rui's hand, and turned to hand it to the elder.
The elder nodded in satisfaction, and the man quietly stepped aside.
"You said you could detoxify, but how did you know that someone poisoned us?" The elder thought no one was paying attention, and he was gently shaking the cane in his hand.
"Oh." Changfeng sighed and instantly froze all the NPCs.
"This elder is so stupid. He almost drives me crazy. If these people were really waiting for him to save them, they would have died a long time ago."
Changfeng waved his hand, and a beam of light swirled around the NPCs. After a while, the light dissipated, and the NPCs returned to normal.
"I see. I never thought you were prophets. Thank you so much."
Ye Fei listened to this unusual line and knew that Changfeng must have implanted some information into the NPCs.
"We predicted that someone was going to sabotage the Dragon Slaying Festival, so we rushed here. We didn't expect that we were still too late. They had already poisoned the water source." Changfeng looked distressed, and Ye Fei immediately lowered his head to prevent himself from laughing.
Eleven immediately became a drama queen and cooperated with Changfeng in the acting.
"When we arrived in the town, they had already poisoned the place and prepared explosives. But a few foreigners came and ruined their plan, so they detonated the bombs in advance and we had no time to stop them."
The brainwashed elders and NPCs naturally did not doubt their words, and instead glared at the controlled people in the room.
"The dragon has come to the world and will unify the world." After saying this, several people looked at each other, each took out a small pill and stuffed it in their mouths, and soon black blood overflowed from the corners of their mouths.
"Tsk, why is this like a cult?" Ye Fei dodged to the side in disgust. The NPCs were unable to stop it and could only watch several people die from the poison.
"What should we do, Lord Prophet?" The elder took a few steps back in shock.
"First dissolve these antidotes in water and cure the poisoned people." Ling Rui pointed at the small medicine bottle that was snatched away, and the man next to him immediately ran out with the medicine bottle.
"We have discovered that many places have been using this dragon poison recently, so we suspect that someone has joined forces with the dragon clan to start a war." Changfeng's serious nonsense scared the elder.
"Master Prophet, our town has always been a peaceful place. Why would someone come and poison us?"
"Your Dragon Slaying Festival is held with great fanfare every year. It's hard not to attract attention." Eleven couldn't help but complain.
The elder ignored Eleven's rudeness and instead enthusiastically told them a story.
"More than a hundred years ago, there was a plague in our town. It was the God's messenger, the Dragon Slayer, who passed by here and cured the sick. We erected that stone sculpture to thank the God's messenger."
"Then the dragon slayer who saved your town disappeared, right?" Eleven couldn't help but interrupt.
The elder looked at Eleven in shock and took a deep breath.
"The prophet really knows everything. Our town holds the Dragon Slaying Festival every year to pray for the dragon slayer. We hope he will return soon."
"Don't worry, elder. Your sincerity will surely move the gods and they will bless him to return soon." Ye Fei couldn't help but comfort the elder.
"Now that the antidote has been delivered, we have more important things to do, so we won't stay any longer."
After declining the elder's invitation, the four were escorted out by the crowd.
