Ed couldn't answer the sudden question. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even if she was annoyed by Naria...... Or thoughtfully drove out of the room, and sat face to face with Nia by the window on the first floor for a few moments, until there was no longer a trace of heat in the forgotten cream soup in front of them, and they could not answer.

He didn't know all of Scott's plans - and to be honest, he didn't think Scott had any elaborate plans at all.

He also didn't know how much Scott intended to let Nia know...... Or how much Nia already knows.

“...... He said he was sure ......"

Finally, he barely mumbled a sentence.

"Sure?" Nia, scoffed, "Look, when I say 'I'm sure,' it means at least I have an eight-point chance of winning, and Scott, as long as he's not completely desperate...... As long as there is the slightest possibility of success, he dares to tell you with a straight face, 'I'm sure'. When I first met him, I even thought he was like a drunken gambler who dared to throw out a gamble to win or lose, no matter how many chips he had......"

He paused, as if aware of his sudden, increasingly uncontrollable anger.

After a moment of awkward silence, Ed whispered:

"At least...... At least he wouldn't use innocent lives as his bargaining chips. ”

"Yes. Nia admits that his face did not change any better, "He is so desperate, and it is never for himself...... But it's even worse, because no matter how stupid his mistake is, you can't ignore it and let him die. You will do everything you can to help him and hopefully there will be a good result...... As a result, he never really learned his lesson!"

Ed's face turned a little pale. He had never heard Nia vent his frustration in such a tone...... He had never seen him so unabashedly angry.

"But...... After all, our hope is to 'get a good result', not 'let him learn a real lesson', right?"

He spoke cautiously.

Nia glared at him for a moment, then leaned back with her hand over her face, and chuckled out in a dejected voice.

"That's right. He sighed in resignation, "Damn...... If only the stinky dwarf were still around, only he would dare to beat Scott firmly, punching a little blank space in his stone-like head to listen to people. ”

Rogan Türk-Ed thought with some regret. The dwarf was the only one of Scott's fellow adventurers he hadn't seen...... It's never going to be seen again.

"Allen......" he asked softly, "what will he do?"

If Scott had been like this all along, Alan must have something to do with him in order to control the entire team.

“...... He'll think of Scott as the first arrow to shoot. Nia apparently understood his intentions at once, "Invincible, unstoppable...... If Scott could be given the right target, he would never disappoint. But you know, he's stronger than ever, but he's also more self-righteous...... Even Alan couldn't steer him anymore. ”

"So......" Ed licked his lips nervously, "what if...... What if we let him have only one direction to go forward?"

Nia was silent for a moment, then slowly leaned over, staring at him with interest and narrowing her eyes

“...... What bad idea are you playing?" he asked, "can you count me in?"

Ed smiled, very weak. There was only one vague thought in his head, and it came to him in the middle of an argument between Filly and Scott. Although it seems that a fight could break out at any time, the dispute between the two "former paladins" is not just about pointing fingers and cursing at each other, but rather a way to make a crazy plan take shape...... Now that he knew he couldn't stop Scott, all he could do was make the plan more likely to succeed - even though Scott seemed to prefer to keep him out of the plan.

But if it's really a gamble...... He also has his own chips.

.

As soon as he returned to his temporary dwelling place, surrounded by withering roses, Aaron Mancini sensed acutely that something was wrong.

He looked around warily, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. It's not protected by magic - it's too easy to detect, especially if there's nothing important in the room......

He suddenly remembered something, hurriedly pushed open another door, and the whole person immediately froze in place.

In the shadow of the bed stood his familiar figure...... And the bed was empty.

The red-haired girl was gone.

The heart was beating violently, and a layer of cold sweat had instantly broken out on his back. It wasn't his job to "protect" Tess - at least, when he asked, the answer was "leave her alone."

The tone of the sentence was cold, as if it didn't matter whether the girl lived or died, but in those green eyes that no one could see, there was not a trace of waves as usual.

This disturbed him...... Or rather, this is the most disturbing part. He hadn't figured out what this girl meant to Ankeland. It's a decoy, a hidden chip...... Still a memory that can't be completely torn apart.

So now he doesn't know what to say.

He didn't dare to look directly at the other party, so he could only look down at the shadow on the ground, and in the long silence, a trace of absurdity rose in his heart.

There had been so much change in just a few months that he didn't even have time to think about it.

He, Aaron Mancini, "didn't have time to think about it" -- it sounded like a joke.

From the moment Anclan appeared in front of his eyes, it was as if he was being carried by a huge torrent, and he rushed forward involuntarily, completely unable to resist...... But he had no intention of resisting.

He was intoxicated by it—an indescribable excitement burning in his blood, and he wouldn't stop even if he couldn't take full control of his future. For him in the past, this was unimaginable.

Compared to "the One", Ankelan is undoubtedly more dangerous and elusive, but it has a unique charm...... The charm of making a faithless man like him fall to his knees willingly and in awe, and not only because of his unfathomable power.

Mancini couldn't help but hang his head lower, and there was nothing false about his humility.

"Let's go. ”

It didn't take long for him to finally hear Ankeland's voice.

"Where?"

He subconsciously blurted out, "Scott......"

"His fate was sealed. Ankelan replied, "But when the stars fall......"

When the stars fall, it's best to avoid the trail that destroys everything.
