Chapter 325 Zhou Qing's Plan
"Okay! I agree!"
The fake Darles agreed.
This is the best situation at the moment. Otherwise, if a war really breaks out, his side will surely be defeated first. After all, Zhou Qing, a six-year-old boy, is extremely powerful. He can't even beat the real Dales, so how can he, a fake one, compare to him?
His martial soul is a slug called "Five-Colored Slug", which has the natural ability of camouflage. The first soul skill: Camouflage, can copy the palm prints and skin patterns of others to his own body, but cannot change his body shape or face.
Fortunately, his body shape is similar to Darles', and he also has a human skin mask exactly the same as Darles', otherwise it would be difficult to disguise himself.
His second soul skill allows him to disguise his voice so that he can be consistent with Darles.
But now!
This fake Darles doesn't dare to expose himself at all!
After all, Norman has the evidence that is unfavorable to Darles in his hands. If his fake one is exposed, doesn't it prove that the real Darles has something to hide and doesn't dare to come in person?
Darles clearly said that he would lead the expedition himself!
He could only hope that—
Gah!
The fake Darles saw Tang San walking out of the nearby woods, and dragged out the eight soul masters who were tied together and secretly went to Falling Star City to report the news, and let out a strange cry.
"Brother Qing, I found that these eight guys had secretly left the team just now, so I chased them and captured them."
After Tang San's description of what happened, Norman looked at the fake Darles with a face full of teasing: "Darles, what else do you have to say?"
"They are all spies! They just want to frame me!" The fake Darles remained calm and defined these eight soul masters in an instant.
When these eight soul masters saw that the fake Dales had distanced himself from the matter, their eyes turned red and they glared at the fake Dales fiercely, but they seemed to be hesitant about something and dared not speak out.
This must be because Darles had caught him, so he had no choice but to do what he said.
Seeing this, Norman knew that he could not get anything out of him, and it was not appropriate to conflict with Darles at this time, so he began to count the number of people, calculate the casualties, and also count the number of prisoners captured from the Luoxingpo stronghold.
"Everyone, now that we have wiped out the Fallen, and cleared out the bandits in the mountain stronghold of Luoxingpo, it can be said that we have won a great victory. Let's rest tonight and deal with the bodies. Wrap our people and bring them back to the city. Dig a pit, collect firewood, and burn the bodies of the bandits in the mountain stronghold to prevent the outbreak of plague."
After confirming the number of people present, Norman gave orders and everyone present got busy.
After burning the bodies of the bandits in the mountain stronghold, the three teams took the remaining captives to the camp opposite Luoxing Lake.
As it was already dark, everyone had been traveling for more than ten miles and was very sleepy and tired. They could only rest for a night to regain their energy and set out on the return journey tomorrow.
Tang San followed Zhou Qing's instructions and secretly watched Daries' tent.
Zhou Qing was quietly called away by Norman.
As soon as he entered Norman's tent, Zhou Qing saw three human-shaped objects wrapped in white cloth - they were the three skeletons.
Since Norman doesn't have a storage soul guide, this is the only way.
"sit."
Norman sat on the ground, made a cup of tea for Zhou Qing, and asked, "Do you know how to drink tea?"
"I don't really drink. I prefer sweet drinks, such as fruit wine."
Having said that, Zhou Qing still picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sighed, "Good tea."
"Isn't this drinkable?"
Norman quipped.
"In fact, no matter whether I can drink it or not, as long as I say 'good tea' after drinking it and pretend to be mysterious, people will think I can drink it." As he spoke, Zhou Qing's eyebrows moved up and down, and the right corner of his mouth slightly raised, and he demonstrated it to Norman.
Norman: “······” Although what Zhou Qing said made sense, but this expression...forgive his ignorance, he really didn’t understand what it meant, it felt a little bit vulgar.
"Well, let's not talk about this." Norman put down his teacup and talked about business. "What do you think about Darles?"
"This Darles is fake."
Zhou Qing no longer concealed the truth and told it truthfully.
"Are you serious?"
Norman stood up in disbelief, "How could he be fake? The voice and appearance are the same, and I know Darles has a black birthmark the size of a fingernail on the back of his neck. He obviously has it too. It can't be fake!"
"Indeed, he can be real." Zhou Qing said with a smile.
Now, Norman was confused.
Just said it was fake...
Now it's true...
Is it true or not?
Seeing that Norman didn't believe him, Zhou Qing could only explain in more detail, saying: "This Darles is indeed a fake. As for how he disguised himself so well, maybe it's because of his martial spirit?"
"Martial soul?"
Norman frowned and immediately thought of Darles's butler, "Is it him?"
"Who?"
"That person's martial soul is the Five-Colored Slug. As a soul beast, this creature can disguise itself as other soul beasts; and as a martial soul, if it obtains a suitable soul skill, it may be able to disguise wrinkles and birthmarks on the skin."
At this point, Norman was also puzzled, "You said Darles was in disguise, but who was in disguise?"
"I'm not familiar with Darles, so how do I know who he is?" Zhou Qing took a sip of hot tea and exhaled, "I can only be sure that this Darles is a fake. If you want me to tell you who he is, then judging from his figure, it's possible that he's the butler who's almost as fat as Darles."
"Butler Darles's spirit is indeed the Five-Colored Slug, and it is said that he followed Darles from Xingluo City to here, so he should be aware of Darles' every move."
Norman's eyes were serious. "If we insist that the Darles we see now is fake, then he can only be pretending to be him."
"Then, how about we treat him as real?" Zhou Qing said.
"How to say?"
Norman really didn't understand this. He didn't understand why they took the fake as real? Could it be that this fake would listen to them?
Totally impossible!
If it was false, he was just Darles's butler, loyal and the person Darles trusted the most, and it was impossible for him to betray him!
"First of all, he is a fake. I guarantee this with my own reputation." Zhou Qing folded his armor first.
"You are full of nonsense, can I believe you?"
Norman sneered.
"For Youhui..."
“Stop, stop, stop!” Norman interrupted Zhou Qing and sighed, “After all, he is indeed fake, then what?”
"Then we can treat it as if it were real!"
Zhou Qing told his plan, "It is true that Darles is in contact with the Fallen. After all, that Soul Sect-level Fallen was killed by me and my companions. Now, we have witnesses and material evidence. It's just that this fake Darles wants to prove his innocence..."
To put it bluntly, I was trying to delay time and send someone back to report to Zhendales, but my companions discovered it in advance and captured those people..."
