Chapter 136: Stratagem and Opportunity
Earl Tarakhan thought he had calculated the traversers, but he didn't know that he had already fallen into the traversers' calculations.
Since the traversers are going to dig a hole for him, they must ensure that he will fall - or jump into it themselves. In order to do this, they have two options, either hide the pit completely, make it look like ordinary ground on the surface, and then say "The Imperial Army is here". The tried-and-true methods of the revolutionary era are certainly effective.
However, there are no movie king-level characters among the transmigrants, and there is no ocean of people's war that the anti-Japanese martyrs relied on back then, so they have no confidence to deceive Count Tarahan like this.
So they switched to another option.
Make a trap, it looks unremarkable, and there is a deer falling into the bottom of the trap - but in fact there is a layer of traps below the trap, whoever wants to pick up a deer for free will fall into the lower layer with countless spikes Go inside the trap, and the death is tragic.
Such traps do not depend on acting, but on adequate preparation. It is not easy to make fake traps as real.
But this is precisely the strength of the traversers. They have enough technology to make true and false traps that no one can see through. They also have the right identity to disguise the trap more believably.
The key to the technology is naturally the altar that summons one of the seventy-two pillars, the great demon Lamer. Apart from the fact that there is no "core" buried in the altar and no real sacrifices are held, on the surface, it looks no different from the real Lamer altar, and even it actually points to a demon to carry out sacrifices. Yes - the demon it enshrined was treated as a single room, living in a room surrounded by numerous magic circles in an underground cave, complaining about boredom all day.
With this altar, let alone some adventurers, even the clerics or demons with a slightly lower level, can't see anything.
Of course, if they are approached by demons or priests and study slowly, they can still see the problem - Beelzebub and Ramo are two completely different big demons, and there is a significant difference in rank and ability. There is also a slight difference in the remaining breath. Those who are proficient in demonology can feel that something is wrong as long as they approach and study for a while.
But... how could the traversers give Count Tarakhan a chance to approach?
The risk of getting close to the investigation is great, and the key is that it may startle the snake. There may be people under Count Tarahan who can do this quietly, but he really dares to reveal his collusion with the devil?
So the biggest possibility is that he uses those who are actively fighting against demons to be cannon fodder, rush first to see if there are any traps, and also confirm the authenticity of the altar.
The Earl's possible choices are nothing more than priests of various churches, or those more powerful adventurers.
Well, the strength is not enough. When the cannon fodder rushes into the trap, it must be able to rush into the trap.
The clergy don't need to think about it, and no matter whether they have enough strength, once they get involved, it can be said to be endless trouble for the earl - anyway, he himself is a collusion demon, and he is not willing to talk to him. The clergy came too close.
Since they can't find clerics, of course they can only find adventurers, and the most suitable adventurers are the "Talahan's Brave" group.
They are powerful, jealous of evil, full of action, and lack of foundation, and they are the best cannon fodder!
The matter was just as the traversers had estimated, and the count really found them and asked them to test the authenticity of the altar.
The only surprise was that the earl actually wanted to use marriage as a guise to fool him.
When Wu Mian returned to the village, the expression on his face was still a little stiff.
Thinking of the situation where he was so overwhelmed that he forgot to type punctuation marks, he felt stiff.
He could imagine how he would be laughed at when he saw his companions.
Standing in front of the gate of the temporary mansion, he sighed deeply and walked in.
Shame on shame, who doesn't have a bit of shame!
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Panda and Sanyu sitting at the door resting. The panda did not wear armor, and the hair on his body was soaked with sweat. He looked very tired, but he was in good spirits. He was still playing with a few coins on his fingers, as if he was exercising his flexibility. Sanyu was wiping his sword. His sword was clearly sharp, but he was still wiping it, and he rubbed it meticulously.
Seeing him come in, Sanyu stopped and said, "Actually, you can marry the count's daughter."
Wu Mian was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Isn't that saying...is this a bad thing?"
"It depends on how you do it." Sanyu said, "After all, we can't hide from her the matter of occupying the magpie's nest. If you can really marry her, everyone will become a family, and then everyone will be It's better to turn a little bit better. Otherwise... when the news can't be concealed, do you still want to kill people?"
He said and sighed: "Her father and two older brothers are not good things. We have no psychological pressure to kill them. But she is not bad... In fact, I have been a little distressed, and I can't hide the news until the news. Now, she found out, what should I do? I discussed it with Panda several times before, but I couldn't come up with a good solution, only one word, drag."
Wu Mian nodded, he also knew this.
"But now there is a way." Sanyu said with a smile, "We can let you use a handsome man to win her over, as long as you can capture her, then you will be a family, and she can become the countess of Tarakhan... The offensive and the interests of the title are two-pronged, and this matter may be over."
"Beautiful man's plan?!" Wu Mian's face was a little dark, "Don't say it as if I betrayed my color! Besides, it doesn't matter if it doesn't pass, can she still seek revenge from us?"
"The question isn't whether she can get revenge on us, but how we convince ourselves," Panda said. "Even if you're a bad guy, you have to comfort yourself like 'I'm not bad enough', let alone us!"
"Don't underestimate her revenge! It would be easier if you sold your hue to get this deal done." Sanyu laughed, "You are a big man, you can betray a ghostly hue! And... Ta Anna, Countess of Lahan, are you really sure that marrying her is a loss for you? Is it your betrayal of your looks?"
Sleepless and speechless.
Ana Tarahan, Countess of Tarahan, was a famous NPC in the game. She inherited the title at a young age, and her methods are tough and ruthless. Although her fighting power is not outstanding, her political skills are quite clever. She has a good appearance and a proud figure. In the early and middle stages of the game, she is one of the most popular NPC characters.
For the players, the countess is a very good NPC. Her attitude is very kind. She often sells a little benefit in the vertical painting and CG, and gives the players a lot of lucrative tasks - in the second year of the game and In the third year's annual "Most Popular NPC" election, she was the No. 1 female NPC, and she was full of Dugu's temperament. It was not until the appearance of the two equally popular NPCs, the princess of the kingdom and the female general of the empire, that they stepped down from the altar.
To be able to turn such a stunner into his own wife, Wu Mian is of course very willing. This is not a card game, everyone can draw rare cards - if according to the card game, she is the only powerful card, and she is very beautiful.
Faced with such an opportunity, is there anything else to consider?
That's why he was so excited when the earl hinted that he could marry his daughter to Wumian.
He was silent for a while, then looked at the panda: "You also support this approach?"
"Better than killing people." Panda said in a deep voice, "At least this method can be regarded as an acceptable ending."
"What if I can't convince me?" Wu Mian asked.
Panda smiled wryly and shook his head, stood up, walked past Wumian, and went out to exercise.
Wusian looked at Sanyu again.
Sanyu sighed: "So you either don't contact her, if you want to contact her, you must succeed in the strategy."
