Section 126 The Emperor's Capital 31
What does a person do when they are in despair?
As a philosopher goes, death strips a person of all disguises. The so-called "when a man is about to die, his words are also good" is this truth. When the shadow of death grows thicker, many of the daily scruples, calculations, and other things like that become so trivial that no one cares. It can be said that many times, only in this case will people speak the truth.
If Lu Wu was still sure that he would be rescued (it was just a matter of time), Zhu Hua was obviously convinced that he had no chance to break through the snow. Yes, she didn't hide it. She had planned that she would be able to hold out for twenty daysβwhich was about the limit of the time that ordinary humans could starve (of course, for warlocks, this ability is much stronger than ordinary people, and more than twenty days is not the limit of warlocks). After more than twenty days, she should be able to recover from her injuries, at least to the point where she can move freely. Then she can try to get out of the trap.
But in fact, because of Lu Wu's arrival, he brought food with him, hunger was not a problem, but a low temperature. She hadn't taken anything into account before.
It's something that can't be helped. Although the power of the warlock, that is, the magic of the third and second laws, is indeed able to keep clothes dry, and can even directly fight the bitter cold. However, specific problems need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. The first is that although she is a high-level warlock, her strength is very weak. The second is that she is in very poor condition. If it were a high-level warlock, maybe it would be a gesture, but she couldn't. Of course, if he was in his heyday, Zhu Hua was confident that he could barely do this, but he couldn't do it after being so seriously injured.
"Hehe, if someone had come, he should have come a long time ago. If the First Lawyer, named Amber, was killed, it would probably have alarmed the upper echelons of the Huiyue camp at this time. Those high-level officials, even for the purpose of shirking responsibility, will send reinforcements to save you so that you can understand the specific situation. On the other hand, if she was safe and sound, then even if she had fled to Vage before, she would have come back a long time ago. Zhu Hua said. "I can't think of any other possibility. You have been abandoned...... Same with me. Zhu Hua said.
Lu Wu was stabbed in the back, and she fell to this point because of a momentary negligence and the trick of fate. So although the two are in the same situation, she still has a little psychological advantage.
"That ......" Lu Wu wanted to say, but he didn't know how to say it.
"Do you feel that you are important that you will not be abandoned?" Zhu Hua smiled. Her blue face made her look as delicate as a little white flower shivering in the cold wind. "You don't know about warlocks at all. β
"Naturally very important people will not be given up. Lu Wu replied.
"No, anyone can be abandoned. Zhu Hua sighed. "The Warlocks are acting in a way that you simply cannot comprehend. β
"Aren't you a warlock either?"
"I'm also a high-level warlock, but my strength is very weak, so my standard of conduct is different from that of other warlocks. She said. Every warlock knows that magic power is the same at every level, and although he does not dare to say that he will win, he will have a great advantage over low-level warlocks. But her strength is too weak, not the ordinary kind of weakness, but all-round, without any merits (of course, as mentioned earlier, this has a reason, and has nothing to do with personal talent). In terms of strength, she was one of the weakest of the group, and even if she claimed to have high-level magic power, it was meaningless. "You saw it too. A speech spirit, if a normal high-level warlock should not be troublesome, it is normal to release seven or eight in one go. But I was only able to release one despite all my might. You have no idea what a true high-level warlock is like...... For warlocks, there is nothing that cannot be given up, and they know from the beginning when to give up something. β
Lu Wu disagrees with this statement. Because what he really relied on was not a warlock, but a master. Not long ago, the master had informed him that Thomas had arrived in an area where he could connect to a satellite phone, and that he had been contacted. According to the speed of rescue in Earth China, the master is expected to be rescued within 48 hours. Although this mountainous area is a no-man's land, there is a helicopter rescue team in the nearest city. This is how it all came from, the live rescue show they had seen on the TV station they had seen by chance, was the helicopter to support the rescue, allowing them to arrive as quickly as possible to save the lost travelers (of course, there were still dead and wounded).
If it is a vehicle, it is estimated that it will take at least a week, maybe more than ten days, for the rescue team to arrive here. But with helicopters, the speed is much earlier.
What's even better is that because the master has a super-dimensional sense, he can easily check Lu Wu's physical condition. According to the master's speculation, Lu Wu's current situation can last another seventy-two hours. Of course, it does not mean that he will freeze to death after seventy-two hours, but that within seventy-two hours, Lu Wu's frostbite is limited and can be cured. But after 72 hours, Lu Wu's frostbite will be so severe that it may not be able to heal, that is, he will be left with lifelong disability and may even have to be amputated.
Of course, even if it really reaches that point of life and death, Lu Wu still has one last trick - that is, to use divine energy. Convert divine energy into heat through a master to warm Lu Wu. It's a great waste of divine power - by the standards of a master, it's no different from burning dollars on Earth for heating. But then again, if it really comes to a time of crisis, as the story says, even if you burn dollars for heating, it is better than freezing to death.
In particular, it should be noted that divine energy is not used for heating after all. If you use divine energy to convert heat, the total amount is still limited. Even if Lu Wu used up all the remaining divine energy in his body, he would only delay the time by one or two days.
"You should have been given up by Amber. Zhu Hua said. "No one is going to save you. β
"But why did she give up on me?" Lu Wu still didn't understand Zhu Hua's logic. His experiments with amber were valuable. Among other things, the identity of earthlings is an extremely crucial factor.
"So that's why a lot of people can't understand warlocks. Zhu Hua said. "According to the logic of normal intelligent beings, they will not do things that harm others and themselves, let alone harm others and themselves. But for warlocks, it's commonplace. Do you really think that someone will come to save you? Even if Amber escapes back to, it will be easy to return here. But she didn't come back. β
"She may have been injured......"
"The speed of time on both sides of the world is not equal, and the speed on that side is usually more than nine times that of this side. Zhu Hua smiled. This is one of the most important key pieces of data, and it was determined by her own measurements. "We've been stuck here for four or five days, which means it's been at least fifty days. It's not enough time to heal the injury?"
"The injuries may be too severe......"
"Hah, that's so serious, it's almost like a near-death experience, right? So...... Do you think Hui Yue's side is stupid and won't send someone over to take a look at the situation here? As I said earlier, even if it is based on shirking responsibility, they must find out what is going on in the first place. β
Although the Radiant Moon faction may not be able to draw another First Lawyer. But the Stygian Warlock was able to get here through the treasure, and there was no reason why the Radiant Moon Warlock couldn't do it. After all, in terms of strength, even the warlocks themselves admit that the two camps are evenly matched, and what one can easily do can definitely be done by the other. So as long as the Radiant Moon Warlocks are willing, even without Amber, they will definitely be able to come to this world.
"......" Lu Wu could only be speechless. He couldn't say that this was because the master observed that there was a peculiarity in the space-time structure of this area, so he speculated that it was likely that amber was ...... Natural phenomena are trapped.
"Don't trust the warlock," Zhu Hua's hair was like a dark cloud, sprinkled on the ice and snow, covering a large area. Although snow is a bad conductor of heat, exposure to snow and ice at the moment will only make hypothermia worse. She didn't care about that at all, which meant that she didn't expect to survive anymore. "Don't believe it at all. After all, they are just using you, when your use value is gone...... No, it should be said that when your threat is more likely than useful, or even just close, they will hide their knives without hesitation, waiting for you to let your guard down. As mentioned earlier, the muscles on her face were stiff, but at this moment she still showed a beautiful smile, which made people feel a heartache. "Remember what I told you before?"
"Hmm. Lu Wu naturally understood that this was what she had said before, about how the Xuyan family (and of course, the Huiyue camp) was good at demagoguery, and how to invent and create a kind of control over one's emotions and cognition with magic power. This method, if taken to its limits, can even create a second personality. Lu Wu doesn't think that all of this is true (considering the position), but he also doesn't think that all of them are made up by Zhu Hua.
After all, combined with everything he knew now, it didn't seem surprising if the Xuyan family developed this application and actually put it into use. Of course, something like "a chemical bond in the brain is broken, and all emotions will be wiped out" or something, just listen to it. After all, "Huiyue is a bunch of waste" and something like that I didn't just hear it.
"There are even more terrible means. Zhu Hua said. It's hard to describe her expression at the moment, but if Lu Wu stares at her at the moment, he will probably sense that she has made a lot of determination. "You can make doppelgangers. β
"Doppelganger?"
"Yes, when the strength reaches a certain level, the Second Lawyer's Warlock will have the ability to create clones. Doppelgangers do not have an actual physical body, but they can exist in the form of a spirit body. Zhu Hua said. "A very convenient technique, but one that warlocks are usually not happy to use. Because if the doppelganger is killed, he will lose that part of his power permanently. β
I don't know if the doppelganger can be devoured...... At least theoretically, this is possible, but there is no practical evidence.
"But if it's a doppelganger, then you can easily give personality, hobbies and other things, and become a lover who best matches your heart. Hahaha......" Zhu Hua laughed. "If it's hard and dangerous to control the whole self, then separate a part and control ......."
However, Lu Wu didn't think it was a big deal, in fact, according to the three views of the earthlings, doing such a thing, as long as he was not the one who was hurt, it didn't seem to be a big deal. It can only be said that after all, they are people from two worlds, and there are differences in three views and even cognition between each other.
"My father, in fact, did not commit any betrayal. The smile was annihilated, and Zhu Hua suddenly spoke.
