Chapter Ninety-Seven: Not a Grave

.lā

For the next two days, everything was fine, Qianrou never appeared, I don't know how he thought about Lird's plan, and it was extremely difficult to think about the pressure and matters he had to face in the recent period, but these problems were not solved by others, and as the leader of the tribe, he could only bear it alone.

The life in these two days can be regarded as the most comfortable for Lird, without the concern for his father, without the fear and worry of any force, all Lird has to do now is to implement his ideals.

Of course, during this period, Liard's heart was not completely at peace, when his father Pym left, Lird felt more and more lonely, now he often thinks of the United States, thinks of Mr. Wyatt's family, he sincerely wants to return to the table full of family atmosphere, drink with other people, listen or talk, feel the warmest friendship and feeling in the world.

But reason tells Lird over and over again that it's not yet time

Compared with Lird's calm and melancholy, Jim's feelings are relatively simple, he maintains the most basic peace at all times, as if there is no emotion and worry in his heart, he only asks for one thing to do every day, so he always increases his vigilance to protect Liard's safety, and years of experience tell Jim that there is some kind of force that is ready to move in this chaotic state of uneasiness.

One evening, the sun had already set, but the sky remained faintly bright, and the winter light was precious.

Some time has passed since the painful experience, and the current Atlanteans seem to have forgotten the previous pain, and have begun to gradually return to a peaceful life, continuing to run every day for the basic human needs of firewood, rice, oil, salt, food and clothing.

But in the hearts of some people, too, they know that an incomparably cruel storm is coming.

That night, Lird and Jim had a simple dinner as usual, and they both read books in the dim candlelight of the tent.

Lird went to India without any extra books, only two leisure books with him, which he had flipped through several times in the meantime, and the contents of which he had memorized in his mind, and now he really had no other means to kill time, but he could only enjoy the contents of the books in bitter pleasure.

Just when both of them were relatively silent, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from the outside window of the tent, and then someone knocked on the door of the tent.

When Lird was about to get up and open the door, he saw Jim get up suddenly, rushed to the door of the tent with a few arrows, and randomly signaled to Lird to be careful.

Lird only smiled bitterly at Jim's reaction, he didn't believe that any force would attack him here, you must know that no matter what plans and ideas Lird has, both sides are still in a relatively "mild" state, if you rashly use force, it will only make Qianrou angry, no one wants to take the initiative to provoke this sacrifice who is in charge of "divine power".

Lird slowly lay down as Jim suggested, a relatively safe position to prevent some unexpected attacks. Then, in a deep voice, Jim wanted the people outside the tent to ask in their native Atlantean language.

After a few brief questions, Jim's affection eased, and then he opened the tent curtain, and the girl in white walked in.

Jim then said to Lird, "The priest wants to have dinner with you." ”

Lird shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's really not the right time to come, I've already eaten it." Jim didn't say anything about this, just looked at Lird, and Lird only smiled, what he said just now was naturally a joke, at this moment, Qianrou sent someone to find him, it was definitely not as simple as having dinner together.

When Lird got up and walked into the tent with the girl in white, Jim followed him out of the tent.

Seeing this, the girl in white stopped, then turned her head and said something to Jim coldly, but Jim didn't care about the girl's cold words, just answered her in the same plain manner, and the girl in white didn't say anything more, just snorted coldly and turned around to continue to lead the way.

Lird looked at Jim, who nodded to Lird, saying that I don't need to worry about everything, to which Lird chuckled.

Although Lird didn't understand the conversation between the two just now, he could also guess that the girl in white should have told Qianrou that Jim was not on the invitation list, but Jim was determined to go with Lird.

The three of them came to Qianrou's tent in two groups, one after the other, and after several visits here, Lird had long since lost any sense of awe for this place, and it was like a park that he often came to.

Jim did not enter the tent in the end, and only stayed outside the tent, and Jim was more relieved that no one would dare to attack Lird in the sacrificial tent.

Under the guidance of the girl in white, Lird came to Qianrou's inner tent door again, and the girl in white did not say a word to Lird during the whole process, as if she directly ignored Liard, and Lird had no idea about it, and now the two sides have clearly stated their positions and attitudes, and they don't want to do anything, and there is no need to communicate.

When Lird walked into Qianrou's big tent, a wisp of aroma suddenly came to his face, but he saw that there were two bowls on the table in front of Qianrou, and the bowls seemed to be noodles and other food, and Qianrou was also skillfully using chopsticks to pick up the food and eat it slowly.

After Lird came to Qianrou and sat down, he looked at the steaming food and said, "I already ate something when I came." ”

Qianrou didn't care about this, and said, "Then eat more, or eat more, and bring out tomorrow's amount." ”

Lird only smiled wryly, and then said, "Well, I don't know how to use chopsticks." ”

Qianrou raised her chin and picked at Lird's bowl, only then did Lird realize that there was a fork next to his noodle bowl, and Lird laughed again, so he picked up the fork and began to eat again.

The two of them ate opposite each other like this, without any conversation during the whole process, and in the eyes of outsiders, it was more like a couple eating dinner, eating dinner after a day of work.

After about ten minutes, the two of them put down their forks and chopsticks almost at the same time and finished eating.

Qianrou greeted her softly, and the girl in white walked in, removed the noodle bowl at a very clean speed, and then quietly retreated.

This scene was also an eye-opener for Lird, considering that the servants in Wyatt Manor were also well-trained, but none of them could be as delicate and cautious as the girl in white, and all movements and actions looked more like an "art".

Seeing Liard's unexpected distraction, Qianrou pursed her lips and said, "What's the matter?"

Lird smiled bitterly and said, "Although you claim to have lost your political status, you are still living the life of an emperor." ”

As far as I know, your life as a manor in the United States is not bad, and you have many more servants than I do. ”

Lirde said: "It can't be compared. ”

Qianrou shrugged her shoulders and said, "What's not to compare? It's just that the girl next to me is prettier." ”

Lird only smiled bitterly at this, and hurriedly began to change the topic: "You asked me to come here today, it won't be just to eat. ”

Qianrou rubbed her temples and said, "Actually, I really just want to have a meal with you, and if I can, I'll play two games of chess, that's all." ”

When Lird heard this, he wanted to say that it was not just a couple's date, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, and this kind of words were too ambiguous, and Lird couldn't help but say it, and he was worried that it would make Qianrou feel unhappy.

Lird licked his lips and then said straight to the point, "It's been so long, you can't drag it out any longer, have you made a decision?"

Facing the anxious Liard, Qianrou remained very calm, she looked at Lird indifferently, and said after a while, "Have you ever thought about a question, I haven't given you an answer for so long, is it really that I haven't made a decision?

Leard was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head very firmly.

In response, Qianrou smiled and said, "What, are you so confident?"

"I'm very confident, no matter how unreliable my plan sounds, it's the only right choice for you right now, and it's definitely a way out worth trying." ”

"In the face of those forces that are about to move, all you can do is resist and escape, and although my father advocates the latter, the means he should have are the former. But even then you will not insist on the former, because you know that the use of force is definitely not the right choice for Atlantis, and you are now the weakest side on the planet, and if it is exposed, then you can imagine the tragedy you will face. ”

"And the way to escape, it is extremely difficult for you to get to Australia now, without my father's arrangement, even if I have some connections through Mr. Wyatt, it will be difficult for you to contact the ships that come to the port, and the path to becoming a lawful resident of Australia has been completely destroyed, then the last way out is only my most unlikely one, and you have a way to do this. ”

Qianrou watched Lird generously tell all this, although what Lierde said was not all, but some of the key points of the analysis did hit Qianrou's heart, and Qianrou did have no way out.

When Qianrou was groaning, Lird also stared at Qianrou, and every move in his expression also entered Lird's field of vision, and Lird's psychology also gave birth to some certainty.

After a long time, Qianrou suddenly smiled and said, "Look at your appearance, everything is inevitable." ”

Lird shook his head and said, "This is not to satisfy my personal thoughts, this will be a great attempt, and if this attempt succeeds, Atlantis will surely have eternal peace, at least to avoid the immediate danger." ”

Qian Rou was silent, and after a long time, she slowly spoke, "Do you know, during this time, there have been some disagreements within the Central Clan. ”

"As you know, the [power] that we in Atlantis guards is part of the 'evil', and the priests have tried to control it and stabilize it for so many years. But the contribution of the same tribe is also huge, and in 10,000 years we have gone from the most civilized tribe on the planet to a nomadic tribe hiding in Tibet, like a water dog. Such a change is really difficult to accept, not to mention that although Atlantis has been silent for thousands of years, the people are full of pride in their bones, and they can never bear this kind of insult. ”

"Now the voices of the clan are rebellion, demanding to try to integrate into this world again, to start a new era of civilization, to establish a country of their own. ”

Qianrou's words may sound crazy, but Lird doesn't think it's impossible, the culture of the Atlantean remnants is too thick to be a chance if they want to get a piece of the pie in these chaotic times, and no group will ignore the olive branch thrown by this tribe.

"And what do you think?" said Lird to Qian Judo.

Qianrou shook her head and said, "To be honest, I don't know, I don't know which one of these things is right or wrong, but I always feel that the Atlantis civilization has long passed, and even if it is independent, it will definitely not be the civilization that caused a sensation in the world ten thousand years ago, maybe the current seclusion life is suitable for us."

Lird took the opportunity to say, "For so long, you should let me help you, if my plan can be realized, then I will definitely create a peaceful utopian world that truly belongs to Atlantis!"

Qianrou raised her eyes to look at Lird, a sense of yearning flashed in her eyes, but it was only a flash, and soon she was troubled by an extremely tangled look.

"But but" Although Qianrou did not say anything, it was clear that there were still many concerns in her heart.

Seeing this scene, an emotion suddenly welled up in Lird's heart, and he decided that he could no longer persuade Qianrou like this, and that he should give her a fierce medicine.

"I don't know what your concerns are, but I do know that there are hundreds of lives in your hands right now, and that there are many more whose futures may change at your discretion. ”

"There's another thing I don't know, and that's whether you're thinking more about your people or more about yourself. ”

Qianrou's expression changed slightly when she heard this, and she said coldly, "What do you mean by this?"

At this time, Lird had already made up his mind, and he did not hesitate to say to Qianju, "You should understand that you are guarding a [power] that can change people's fate, not a tomb!"
