Chapter 166: Recruitment
In the palace of Lugoin, Lan Wu met Jhein again.
In just less than a month, the ruler of Lugoin has obviously aged a lot. There are many more white hairs on his head. It is obvious that the disasters that Lugoin has encountered one after another have made this young and strong ruler very worried.
When he met Lan Wu again, Jhein's attitude became more humble. He now knows that Lan Wu's importance to Lugoin is no less than that of Archangel Tyrael. The recent crises that Lugoin has faced were all resolved by this God's grace. He now accepts Gross's point of view.
Befriending the God's grace will definitely bring Lugoin a more glorious future.
Lan Wu's meeting with Jhein this time was naturally not for the purpose of paying homage to the Lugoin ruler who was well-known in the game. He was only for those members of the Dark Raven who were caught in one fell swoop.
Almost all the Dark Ravens have been replaced by En De as confidants. But after all, there are still many members who are loyal to Barbara. All together, it is a considerable force, which can add considerable strength to the Rogue Camp.
Jehayin did not think much about Lanwu's request. The Dark Crow has always been a cancer in Lugaoin. Since the emergence of this underground organization, Lugaoin has lost many professionals with great potential. This time, the Dark Crow was wiped out, and these people naturally could not stay. Since Lanwu needs it, it is just what he wants to do a favor.
With Jehayin's permission, Lanwu was unwilling to waste time in the palace. He simply chatted for a few words and then said goodbye. Returning to the residence arranged by Gross, he met Barbara and Akara who came from the Rogue Camp.
"I have already talked to Jehayin." Lanwu saw Barbara and immediately told her the result of the conversation with Jehayin. Now Barbara's poison has not been cured, and it is not easy for her to come to Lugaoin. If it were not for the fact that the only Dark Crow members loyal to her were recruited this time, she would not have risked coming.
"Thank you." Barbara's face was still pale, and there was no blood. The gratitude in her eyes did not diminish at all. She was sincerely grateful to Lan Wu.
Dark Crow was an organization founded by her grandfather. For more than 50 years since its establishment, Dark Crow was basically everything to her. Especially those old people who had been loyal to her grandfather and her father successively, they watched her grow up, and naturally there was no need to say more about their feelings. It was only because of her rebellious character that she stopped managing Dark Crow after being ordered to marry Ende, which allowed Ende to take the opportunity to support his own forces and replace the positions of those old people. When she returned to Dark Crow again, she found that Ende had already controlled absolute power. Those old people were squeezed out of the top and became the leaders of other branches.
On the surface, Ende gave these old people full trust. But everyone knew that these old people had lost their power. She naturally knew it too. But she didn't want to care, hoping that these uncles and grandfathers could have a stable old age and not continue to fight on the front line for Dark Crow.
Unfortunately, she was wrong. After Ende established his absolute authority, he gradually deviated from the original ideals of Dark Crow and led Dark Crow directly onto a steep slope. He became more and more miserable day by day. Now, the entire Dark Crow was wiped out by Lu Gaoyin because of Ende's stubbornness. There are very few people left outside, and most of them are children still in the training camp.
This time the Dark Crow was completely destroyed, and Barbara no longer had the luxury of rebuilding the Dark Crow. The rapid development of the Rogue Camp has realized the ideals of the Dark Crow when it was founded. Besides, she has already lost one daughter, and now she must compensate for another daughter. She has lost the motivation to move forward, and only hopes to spend the rest of her life with Flora.
Lan Wu naturally understood Barbara's mood. He declined Barbara's invitation and stayed in the room. Only Akara accompanied Barbara to recruit those loyal subordinates who were not weak in strength. With Akara's spiritual eye, there is no need to worry about some people sneaking into the revolutionary team.
Not long after Barbara followed Akara out of the room, Flora came into the room. When she saw Lan Wu, she immediately threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly with sadness: "Thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Lan Wu laughed and rubbed Flora's head. This little girl is already his chosen woman. Do you need to thank him for doing something for your woman? Of course not.
"I heard her say that Dark Crow is not evil." Flora snuggled in Lan Wu's arms like a kitten, and said as if to excuse Dark Crow: "Dark Crow was originally established to protect the professionals who came out of the Rogue Camp from being oppressed by the Lugaoin people. But the Lugaoin people do not accept the existence of this organization at all. After my great-grandfather and grandfather were killed by the Lugaoin people, the Dark Crow was gradually distorted by the bad guy Ende."
After a pause, she blushed and buried her head in Lan Wu's arms, saying softly: "But it's all her responsibility. If she hadn't ignored Dark Crow, Dark Crow wouldn't have been led astray by Ende. Well, she was a little wrong. Can you forgive her?"
Lan Wu smiled. The world is big, but the mother-in-law is the biggest. Even if he goes to fight Diablo now, he is not willing to offend Barbara. Not to mention asking Barbara to apologize.
"I heard you have a sister..." Lan Wu deliberately changed the subject. He wanted to say that maybe Flora's half-sister was still alive, but he saw Flora's expression suddenly dimmed when he was halfway through. He quickly laughed it off and blurted out the rest of the sentence: "If I'm not mistaken, she might still be alive."
"Thank you." Flora obviously didn't believe it, and thought Lan Wu was just comforting herself. Just look at Irene to know how cruel the Dark Raven Training Camp is. She didn't believe that her sister, whom she had never met, could withstand such harsh and cruel training.
"At least I still have you now." Flora hugged Lan Wu tightly, her voice was a little low, and suddenly her tone changed, and she laughed happily: "I also have a sister now. Irene is my sister."
Lan Wu laughed dumbly. He shook his head, straightened Flora, looked into her eyes seriously and said: "Actually, I have always had a question. Don't you think that if Irene grows up a little bit, she will look like you?"
"Really?" Flora looked confused, obviously she had never cared about this.
Lan Wu stroked his forehead. He remembered that he had mentioned this in front of the two of them. At that time, Flora excitedly pulled Irene to look in the mirror. Unexpectedly, it had only been a short time, and the little girl had forgotten everything.
Ever since Flora got Irene as her playmate, and washed off her non-mainstream dress and returned to her natural look, he had noticed something. But he had no concrete evidence to prove his point. After all, the world is so big, and there are many people who look similar but are not brothers and sisters. So he let it go. Anyway, whether the two girls are sisters or not, he has decided.
Until later, when he accidentally heard the big gossip of Dark Crow, he got interested and picked it up again and buried it in his heart. He planned to wait until everything was settled before looking for clues from Dark Crow. If Irene is really Flora's sister... He just thought about it, damn, this is going to be a rhythm of flying.
Forcibly suppressing the evil thoughts in his heart, Lan Wu's few words once again aroused Flora's interest. When the little girl learned that Irene might be her sister, she jumped up excitedly and went to find Irene, then pulled her over, and found a mirror by the way.
"Do they look alike? Do they look alike?" Flora pulled Irene, holding a mirror and looking left and right, asking repeatedly.
Lan Wu did not answer. He sat aside and looked at the two girls carefully. The more he looked, the more he felt that his guess was not groundless. Irene's eyebrows vaguely resembled Flora's. Strictly speaking, it is natural for half-sisters to have different looks.
Barbara's daughter was thrown into the training camp by Ende and replaced by Yinata. It just so happened that Irene also came from the Dark Crow Training Camp, and her age was also consistent if you carefully calculated it. Coincidence of coincidence is not a coincidence.
Lan Wu was at least 60% sure that his guess was correct. The remaining 40% was just for insurance, and he estimated it as small as possible. It's a pity that there is no paternity test in this world, otherwise a paternity test would have all the results.
He did not say his conclusion. He wanted to wait until Barbara recruited the Dark Crow before making this guess public. I believe that since there is gossip, there must be corresponding clues or insiders. Under Akara's spiritual eye, no one can hide secrets. Not even him.
I didn't expect to wait for two whole days. Lan Wu was a little confused. It stands to reason that the Dark Ravens have been replaced by Ende's men. Those old people who are loyal to Barbara certainly participated in the operation to capture Lu Gaoyin, but there will never be many left. Two days to recruit these people is too much. What's more, Akara is present, so it shouldn't take so much time.
Abandoning Flora, who was interested in studying whether Irene was her sister, Lan Wu found Gross. I wanted to ask him to take a message to Jerhain to ask Barbara where they went, but Gross asked in disbelief: "Didn't I tell you that they have returned to the Rogue Camp?"
"They went back?" Lan Wu was shocked.
"They asked me to take care of the Dark Crow members." Gross looked at Lan Wu, a little confused: "You don't know yet?"
"Thank you." Lan Wu didn't bother to explain in detail, just thanked him and left in a hurry. Gross was left still confused.
Back in the room, Lan Wu immediately found Flora and Irene, briefly explained, and took the two girls to the teleportation array and returned to the Rogue Camp.
Big event.
If he missed this moment, he would definitely regret it. Even though they were already in the bowl. Back in the Rogue Camp, Lan Wu sent the two girls to play with Kasha, and rushed to Akara's tent alone.
Indeed, Akara had returned here. When she saw Lan Wu coming, a hint of sadness appeared between her eyebrows: "She couldn't bear the blow, and the poison broke out again."
