Section 117 The Emperor's Capital 22
In short, things are not as good as expected. The danger remains serious. Even if you are an expert, you can only guess whether this hiding place is safe based on the thickness and condition of the snow layer at this time. As for the additional new power, for example, Zhu Hua just said that there will be another wind and snow or something, and the master can't confirm it.
It's a pity that the badge ...... If you carry it on your body, it is estimated that it will be completely safe. But the problem is that Lu Wu really just left at random this time, and left the camp to have a look without any preparation, so the badge was not on his body. If there is a next time, Lu Wu vows to carry the badge with him and never leave it.
"You don't seem to be afraid of anything. Zhu Hua muttered. "Instead, worry about others. ”
Lu Wuxin said that in fact, I wanted to be an explorer a long time ago, and this kind of situation buried by an avalanche is the first time I have encountered it in reality, but I have already encountered it countless times in my imagination. Although in those imaginary scenarios, the escape from such crises is by luck or simply delusional. But after thinking about it too much, people are much more receptive to this kind of accident. Although it does not reach the point where Mount Tai collapses and does not change color, he can also calmly think about his own situation and what he can do in this environment.
But when the other party said this, he faintly seemed to be laughing at Lu Wu's frivolity and unreality, but Lu Wu felt very uncomfortable.
"You don't seem to be afraid. ”
"It's not death that's scary," Zhu Hua replied. I don't know if she used most of her energy to relieve the pain, her voice sounded a little dazed. "Instead, they failed to achieve their goals. People die eventually, and warlocks are no exception. Even if the body is mechanized or life extension surgery is used, it will only be a slight delay. ”
"Then why are you ......" Lu Wu wanted to say that you were not afraid of death, why didn't you join the battle, but instead killed your companions in order to hide the fact that you escaped from the battle.
"Because I don't want to die meaninglessly, silently. Zhu Hua said. "Lu Wu, would it be a pity if you died here? I mean, you would feel unwilling, and feel that everything you did in the past has become meaningless?"
"I guess I'm just unwilling. Lu Wu reluctantly replied. Unwillingness is a matter of course, in fact, no one will die willingly unless forced to do so. But if it is really such an irresistible human factor, there is no way to be unwilling. But at least Lu Wu didn't feel that all the things he had done before would become meaningless.
Not to mention anything else, just by killing that Jin Ye and his gang, Lu Wu felt that he had done a great deed to the world (although Lu Wu believed that people like Jin Ye would be given a nest by the government sooner or later, but how many people could he cause harm before that?). The same goes for things in another world. Lu Wu felt that he had restored peace in a region...... Maybe it's not a celebrity, but at least it's worth it.
"So that's the difference between us. Zhu Hua closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and let himself actually lean softly on Lu Wu. Although she used magic to resist it, the chill from the environment inevitably seeped into her body. The situation was worse than expected, and the warmth of the clothes was significantly reduced due to the infiltration of moisture. This was something she hadn't expected at first. Maybe she can't wait for her injuries to recover, or even starve to death, hypothermia can kill her.
Yes, she can give it a go before the situation threatens her life. But the stakes are clearly even greater. If she had had that three-point chance before, it seems that there is probably less than one point now.
Maybe it was because of the deterioration of the situation that she told Lu Wu about it. Although the other party is Huiyue's person, he is not hostile to her. It is a desire that stems from human nature. When a person faces the end of the day, even the silent can become nagging, because instinct drives them to pass on a part of their will after the physical death.
"What do you mean......"
"You know I'm a Ranger, right?"
"......" Lu Wu is actually a little curious. This one is the Warlock of the Second Law. He knew by now that the First Lawyer's was so rare that he basically didn't show up. Their mission is to travel the Aether Sea and gain new knowledge and technology from different worlds (it's hard to say if that's good or bad, but for now, the Warlocks have a lot of knowledge.) They are selectively absorbing foreign knowledge and technology to improve their own scientific and technological level. Perhaps, just maybe, doing so will weaken the ability of the warlocks to independently research and develop new technologies, but I have to admit that it is far more concise, convenient, and quick to take it than to develop it yourself. Developing on your own is like groping alone in the dark, and every step is extremely difficult. However, absorbing foreign technology is like having a lighthouse in front of you to guide the way, and I don't know how much effort it will take), so the second law warlock is actually the strongest of the warlock group and the de facto ruler.
A Second Lawyer's desire to be a ranger—it's as inconceivable as the son of an American president going to the front lines of Vietnam as an ordinary soldier—even if this man was a noble, ambitious, patriotic, and single-minded man on the front line, he would have a much better choice to serve his country, wouldn't he? At least he could be an officer. Even if you want to be an ordinary soldier, it has to be a rich and handsome position such as a pilot. An officer is much more important than an ordinary soldier, and a pilot can play a much greater role than an infantry stumbling on the ground, isn't it? The Ranger is known as the elite, but after all, it is a low-ranking warlock unit. Zhu Hua's addition is rather strange.
"Because I only deserve to be a Ranger. Zhu Hua said. "You should know that the so-called 'High Warlock' is actually just a general term. The high level of magic always has a great advantage, but it is only an advantage. If the magic of this law is too weak, then it doesn't really make a difference whether it is or not. ”
"Ah......h
"It's a terrible thing to have the name of a 'High Warlock', but to be actually weak. Zhu Hua said. "Inexplicably, there will be a lot of enemies. Some people just want the thrill of victory from the weak, and it would be even better if the weak person still had an aura called 'High Warlock' on their head. She smiled self-deprecatingly. "I admit that this kind of person is cowardly and boring, but there are many people who are so cowardly and boring, really a lot. ”
Lu Wu noticed that her tone of voice had become very supple. It's no longer the same as before, always keeping three points vigilant, like a hedgehog that doesn't allow you to really get close. Now, she seems to be drunk in a bar because she is frustrated, so she confides the truth to the strangers around her.
Of course, Lu Wu himself has never experienced such a scene. But the so-called never eaten pork has seen a pig walk, and this situation is very common in various film and television works.
"Your power...... Very weak?" Lu Wu didn't feel very weak. At least he had seen Zhu Hua kill a warlock with one move. This is still the premise that the other party has perfect preparations and preemptively hit Zhu Hua. Obviously, no matter how weak Zhu Hua is, it is still easy to deal with a few low-level warlocks.
At this level, Lu Wu feels that even if it is not outstanding, it should at least be above the passing line, right?
"You see me using words, right?" replied Zhu Hua dreamily. "That's who I am now, not who I used to be. ”
"Devouring?" Lu Wu understood what the other party meant almost instantly. In the past, the power of warlocks was limited by talent, and there was no way to improve it. All the exercises are just about getting the most out of your strength, not raising the upper limit. But since the advent of "devouring", all the laws have changed.
If there is one thing that Kecha Goyat has done that is most out of the ordinary, it is undoubtedly anti-magic metal and devouring, even if it is not an exaggeration to call it shaking the whole world. Of the two, the effect of devouring is even greater.
It turns out that the delicate woman around her doesn't know how much blood of her companions or enemies are stained on her hands.
"Do you think it's sick for me to pursue power like this?" Zhu Hua didn't need to look to guess what Lu Wu wanted to say.
"I didn't ...... No. Lu Wu thought for a moment. However, I think that if you were born like this, it would ...... "God closes a door for you and opens a window for you." Just like people with congenital disabilities, there are still other things worth pursuing in life, and there are other paths to choose from, isn't it? At least Lu Wu knew that warlocks didn't absolutely emphasize strength and weakness, and the strong were respected. In fact, they recognize merit and wisdom equally.
Amber's family seems to be like that. According to the other side, in fact, Xuyan is a family of scholars, and they do not have very strong power, but they have researched a scientific conclusion related to time and space, and they have been given the title and become a nobleman.
"Born? haha...... Born ......" Zhu Hua smiled, maybe it was because of this ice cellar, how desolate that laughter sounded, no, it was not so much desolate as it was miserable. "But I wasn't like that. ”
"I'm born with great strength!" she held up a hand, as if trying to grasp something in the void. "Above everyone else, outstanding, and recognized early on as having a great future and a bright future! Probably as long as there is a breath left, you will be able to get out of trouble. In that case, I'd probably just join the ambush on Amber. Even if my opponent is a First Lawyer, like Amber, I am confident that I will be able to defeat the battle, and even if I am not the worst, I will be able to escape in time. ”
"I belong to a strong family, and I am considered by my clan to be the hope of the next generation, and I am the key pillar that supports the family. But," her body slowly trembled with the words. "When I was very young, an incident suddenly broke out, and my father betrayed the Stygian Moon. ”
"The second lawkeeper can control the power of fate, we can find our target through the thread of fate, and no one can escape fate. So if the betrayer is detected, there is no chance of escape at all...... Unless there is also a Second Lawyer's Guardian for them. In this way, they can shield the thread of their destiny and make it impossible for warlocks to find it. ”
"Normal guarding takes a lot of effort on the part of a warlock, but that's about it. But my father had too many secrets in his possession, so he knew he was going to be hunted down by the Moon Warlocks. What he needs is not an ordinary guardian, but a more powerful guardian that will always be effective. This type of protection is rare, as it requires a great deal of cost from the Warlock, most commonly ...... Permanently reduced strength. Yes," Zhu continued. "In order to escape the pursuit, he hit me with his idea. I was too young to know anything about the cruel world that belonged to adults. Born with great strength, as a strong man, I don't understand what a tragic fate the weak face under the rules of the Dark Moon. I thought that my happy life would go on forever and never go away under any circumstances. Under his deception, I used most of my strength to exert an unprecedentedly powerful protection on him. ”
Her voice was not loud, but there was a power in her voice that made Lu Wu feel his whole heart tighten.
"Then, in the blink of an eye, I lost everything. She said lightly. "Maybe it's because I've lost the value of my family, and because I have a lot of fame for helping escapees, it's not worth paying anything for me. So I was expelled from my family. Alone, with nothing, driven into the academies that trained warlocks. Those places were originally used to house the warlocks born in the artificial wombs! I used to feel dirty when I stepped on it!"
"The world is cruel, isn't it? Birds with broken wings no longer have the right to soar into the sky. Her voice was still calm and indifferent. "But I'm not reconciled! I won't be reconciled in any case. ”
"I want to be above all people once again, commanding all beings!"
