Chapter 5: The Dog's and Man's Strategy
Dusk has arrived, and the house is rendered in a charming red by the setting sun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It would be nice to take a walk in such a view. Such a thought had just flashed through Lan's mind, and Red Lotus gave him a paw when he was distracted.
"Are you listening to me or not? Honglian angrily patted the carpet with his paws, but he was about to share the information he had heard with Lan in the past two days, but before he could start speaking, Lan began to wander!
"Just say, I'll listen. Resigned to touching his face, which had been scratched with three blood marks, Arashi yawned.
"Ahem. Red Lotus stretched the dog's paw to her mouth, cleared her throat, and said, "Let's talk about what you're interested in first, according to the information I got from Emilia in the past two days, the mainstream power of this world is something called 'Protection'. β
"Oh, that's it, I've heard about it from Rheinharut. β
Red Lotus nodded and continued: "In our understanding, this thing called 'Protection' is equivalent to the buff in the game, which will give the holder a direct or indirect buff. From a superficial point of view, it is not impossible for us to understand it this way. Of course, not everyone has this power, and only a few people who are loved by God can obtain one or two. β
"Everyone's care should be different, maybe similar in function, but fundamentally different things. β
According to Amilia, except for a few exceptions, normal people will only have one or two types of protection, and a small number of elites will have three or four types. β
Lan tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "From the perspective of actual combat, Rheinharut's protection is indeed a good thing, but if it is to this extent, it should not be difficult to deal with it. β
It seemed that because Lan mentioned the Sword Master, Red Lotus let out a sigh, "How do you feel about finishing your move with him today?"
Lan said calmly: "In terms of the level of swordsmanship alone, I don't think he has caused me any pressure. β
"Shallow wisdom, I inquired from Amilia, the reason why he is called the strongest sword master in the past is because he wants any protection, the world will give him the protection he wants, and there are more than forty kinds of protection known now. β
Hearing this, Lan Cai suddenly became interested and said excitedly: "Do you really have what you want?"
"It's always been a rumor, but you shouldn't be wrong. Honglian shook her ears twice, but her tone was quite cautious: "Don't be busy having fun first, if you really want to fight, maybe you will suffer." I've heard that he has an 'immortal bird protector' on him who can be resurrected after death. β
"It sounds funny, but alas, I think he can go further in kendo than he already has. β
"Destiny is a scale, and when you gain it you lose it. Honglian paused and asked the question in her heart, "I'm thinking about how far this so-called care can be achieved now. β
"What do you mean?" Arashi always felt very difficult to think about. Just looked directly at the earth dog, waiting for him to ask himself and answer himself.
"If we fight Rheinharut and he wants the protection of 'one sword can kill an opponent', will the world give it to him as well?"
"No way. Lan shook his head decisively, and smiled confidently at the corner of his mouth, "This kind of thing can't even be done by God himself." β
"Yes. "If you want to say who knows Lan's strength and hole cards best, probably the only one is himself, the dog who accompanies him day and night...... Ahh
Honglian frowned, glanced at Lan, who was already interested at the moment, and continued with relief: "Next, we still have some questions. β
Lan really cooperated and asked rhetorically, "What is it?" β
"According to this world, four hundred years ago, Shatila, known as the Witch of Jealousy, killed six other witches, then destroyed half the world, and then was sealed by the Dragon, the Sword Master, and the Sage. β
"And then?"
"Arashi, do you remember the black hand that grabbed us from the dimensional wall?"
"Yes. β
"Based on what I've seen in the library (not the forbidden library guarded by Betty), these are six deceased witches, and one of them has the ability to be called the Lazy Witch if I'm not mistaken: Sekhmet. β
"Wait a minute, when will you read the text of this world. Arashi's focus is surprisingly skewed.
"I learned it after reading a few children's books, you idiot. Red Lotus looked at Lan with disdain, "Don't try to use your IQ to determine my standards. β
I, unexpectedly, was despised by a dog? well, I'm used to it anyway!" Arashi twitched the corner of his mouth, not hearing the words at all.
"To get back to the point, the person who brought us into this world should be this witch, and this inference is not wrong at this point. But what is the purpose of the witch who is still alive, and after four hundred years of hiding, she has drawn us into this world?"
"If Caiyue came to this world because she was jealous of the witch's favor, then why did we appear?"
Regarding the question that Red Lotus was distressed about, Lan, who was bored with listening to it, wiped the sword body of the karma, and said, "What can we do, do what we are good at." β
A flash of inspiration flashed in Honglian's mind, and she asked in a surprised tone: "What are you talking about!!!"
"Do what we do best. Lan smiled, "In addition to killing, it can eat." I can't think of any other good in myself. β
You know yourself very well, Honglian twitched her mouth twice, pressed her heart to complain, and asked, "Who do you think the witch wants us to kill?"
"If it is deduced from this point of view, the same thing does not need to be done by repeated people, since we are here to kill, then in turn, Caiyue Pleiades, who was summoned by the Jealous Witch, is coming to this world to save people?
"It doesn't matter what you're doing so much, it's a big deal to kill them together. Lan looked at Red Lotus with a strange expression, "I don't remember when we had the habit of being fully prepared before acting. β
"Hmph. β
Barely what you said made sense, Honglian looked away angrily, but the corners of her mouth on the side were quickly pulled apart deeply, and her eyes were flat and slanted towards Lan, revealing a sinister smile.
"I have a plan......"
And at this time, in a dimly lit basement, a couple of men and women chose to meet again.
"It's the agreed reward. The man threw the money bag in his hand on the table, because the lights in the room were deliberately extinguished, so that it was impossible to see his face.
"Is there a chance that you will miss it? What a generous employer. The woman's voice was full of a different kind of charm.
"No, no, no, I thinkβyou misunderstood, beautiful and gracefulβnorthern-ma'am, I never expected you to succeed. The man waved his index finger in a light-hearted tone.
"Although the rules of the underground exchange do not harm your own employer, if you want to be so annoying all the time, I don't mind cutting your intestines, dear Mr. Employer. β
"You, who were killed once with a sword and resurrected by the blood of a vampire, seem to have forgotten the feeling of death. β
"Hehehe. The woman let out an eerie laugh.
Another bag of money smashed on the table, and the man waved his hand casually: "Tell your monsters to move." β
"Location, people. β
"Alam Village, get close to that mansion, find a way to kill the people inside, anyone. By the way, don't mess with that swordsman. β
No sound sounded, and the money bag on the table disappeared along with the woman.
The man paused in the darkness for a long time before he whispered in a voice that he could only hear: "I will definitely resurrect you, teacher! β
"The children of destiny will eventually be in my hands. β
