Chapter 178: The Shortcut
Signs of Divine Activation?
"To be honest, I think it's easy for people to misunderstand what you say," Lin An chuckled, "Even when I heard it, I couldn't help but think that I had some special background or background that I didn't know, such as the reincarnation of the goddess of nature, or the descendants of some of her bloodlines that had fallen into the world!" β
She paused, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked meaningfully, "Or rather, you actually have this thought- huh?" β
Kronos was silent. γγ
Lin An put away the pretense of relaxation in his tone, and his face sank.
She knew that none of the chaotic, chaotic gods of the Holy See were gods of their own plane.
And what does a native god of this plane mean to this plane, and what does it mean to the demons, so it is not difficult to guess what Kronos is thinking at the moment.
She wanted to be angry, but quickly suppressed her temper that was about to explode, gritted her teeth and said calmly:
"I have to say, Kronos, you are really the most competent demon I have ever seen! Even at this time, a dead soul who has been dead for an unknown number of years, and who cannot have freedom, is still so loyal to his own race that he does not let go of the suspicion of anyone who is a threat to your race - but! β
Lin An breathed a big breath in his spirit, as if he was angry. γγ
"Don't you think your suspicions are ridiculous! My body was created by you, my soul was summoned by you, and you will be responsible for at least half of any changes caused by my every move in this plane, even if it is unintentional! I could almost say your hands and feet, so far. Always under your drive and design, go the way you need me to walk! β
Lin An sneered. There was a gleam of anger in his eyes, and the anger that had been hidden in his heart exploded at once.
"If from this point of view, can it be said that if I am really related to the so-called only native god of this plane, then you are also the mastermind behind this qiΔ, and can even be said to be the mastermind!"
"You're so excited, I never said you, I think you're the reincarnation of the Goddess of Nature, even if you give the Force of Nature a hint of activation."
Kronos spoke faintly,
"I just think. I'm afraid this kind of sign is unusual, but I don't think it's an accident, at least it should have something to do with your pet and those silver coins...... Don't you think that the timing of your acquisition of those silver coins seems to be a bit of a coincidence, and it has always been. There seems to be an invisible hand. Pushing in the dark, and we don't know it, because it seems like a coincidence. β
"What do you mean?" Lin An frowned. "Coincidentally, the development of anything in this world is made up of coincidences, and I was summoned to this world by you when I was dying, which is the biggest coincidence for me, could it be that you are also the secret hand behind the scenes?"
"Maybe that's the case," Kronos said, "we're all just pawns on a chessboard, and the threads of fate are woven so that even the gods can't see them." β
Lin An understood at this time, it turned out that the frequency of her and Kronos had not been connected, and this guy was caught in the dialectic of fate and fate and couldn't extricate himself, feeling that not only her, but even himself, seemed to have accidentally become a chess piece of fate, and unconsciously pushed the rotation of the spindle of fate.
She wanted to laugh a little, but she couldn't.
In her previous life, she was indeed a materialist atheist, but when she came to this world, even the gods were real, and she had seen all kinds of fantasy again, and she had become a mage herself, and that materialistic worldview had already been completely attacked and rebuilt. γγ
If her worldview has not changed in the slightest, which means that she cannot accept and believe in the power system of this world at all, how can she successfully cast a spell and become a mage?
Then even Kronos, who has long been a qiΔ with unimaginable ability, has such awe and unpredictability of fate, it seems that such a small person as she is not qualified to say anything nonsense and ridiculous fate.
So she couldn't laugh anymore.
In fact, if she had known at this time that there was an old god with whom she had a relationship and was now locked up in a dark room, south of the Rocky Mountains, and that she had been regarded as the daughter of prophecy and not a person who was not on the thread of fate, and that the news had been known to the doglegs of the gods of the Holy See, she would not have really laughed.
***
In the cavern formed by the undercurrent underground, there was a clear sound of footsteps.
The water in the dark tunnel overflows the instep, and the slippery green water plants are all over the surface and the narrow walls on both sides, making people walk and slide, and the tight boots step on the moss, and occasionally feel the throbbing and struggling of fish and shrimp and other living creatures under their feet. γγ
Lin An and Salin entered the underground passage from a stream on the surface, and after holding their breath and swimming through the shallow surface water section of the undercurrent, they had already trekked in this damp karst cave for half a day.
"An, are you sure that hidden inheritance disciple will take the path of the underground waterway?"
The underground river channel extends in all directions, transmitting the muffled voice of speech in all directions, and even muffled echoes can be heard.
"Of course, if that Master Joshua doesn't want to spend too much time between mountains and twisting woods, taking the underground river is his inevitable choice."
Lin An knew Salin's uncertainty and explained:
"On the map I drew for him, although there are specific locations of the participants, but those that are too far away, it is impossible for him to find, the most efficient way, find the location of the densely distributed participants on the map, and set a shortcut, in order to achieve the purpose of gathering the most people in the shortest time, otherwise the time spent on the road alone will be enough for him to be tired,"
Lin An shrugged,
"Even if he had that Patmo, it would take some time to find out exactly where the participants were, because they weren't puppets and wouldn't wait to stay still and wait for him to find them." γβ
This is also one of the reasons why Lin An did not take the initiative to find someone, but pushed this good thing of developing contacts to Joshua, because she did not have an eye in the sky, and she did not have the conditions and identity like Joshua.
"So, no matter how fast he is, once the time exceeds four or five days, the locations of those participants you give are no longer accurate, beyond the scope of Patmo's searchβ"
Salin pondered, imagining what Joshua would probably do if he were himself.
"If it were me, if I wanted to gather as much manpower as possible, I would try to achieve the highest efficiency within these few days, beyond these days, I would stop searching for people, because the efficiency had been greatly reduced - so, you also relied on this to deduce that the disciple of the hidden lineage would choose the direction with the most dense distribution of participants."
He has a sharp mind, and Lin An's thinking frequency actually overlaps to a certain extent, if he doesn't talk about sensitive and dark topics, or if Salin is not so scheming, Lin An may feel that it is good to have a friend who can keep up with her way of thinking.
"That's right, and the search in the past few days, after all, has also slowed down his trip, in order to improve the efficiency of the journey, he will most likely choose to enter the underground waterway."
Anyway, the level of the demonic beast of this plane fragment will not exceed a certain limit, and with the manpower gathered by Joshua, he will not be afraid of any irresistible danger in the underground waterway.
"Moreover, leading others on a convenient and efficient shortcut, showing his familiarity and mastery of the place, is also a way to build prestige." In Salin's mind, it was easy to think of this aspect.
"However, in fact, I am not completely sure, I will definitely be able to copy this small waterway and intercept them before them, after all, there are too many uncontrollable factors-"
Stepping over a large puddle, an S-shaped water mark was drawn on the water surface, as if a small snake had just swam away, Lin An, who had been using plant perception, of course knew that it was a small water snake that was alarmed,
"Our itinerary is smooth because I chose the safest route to walk, so I have never encountered danger, but it is difficult to say on their side, even if there are no external factors such as not being able to find people or being attacked by demonic beasts and deviating from the route, there may be some people who are not convinced, and there are factors such as infighting for the sake of profit - not to mention, this qiΔ must be based on the premise that Your Excellency always believes in my road map and does not take the wrong path."
"When you say that, I don't have much hope that I can intercept them." Saleen Road.
"You can't say that...... Hey, there seems to be someone up ahead? β
Lin An suddenly stopped and said.
The so-called front is actually one mile away from the best perception radius of plant perception, but there is a vague perception.
At this distance, there are winding cave walls of the waterway to silence them, and the sound of their words will not be transmitted to such a distance, which is also the reason why Lin An is relieved to talk directly with Salin and not use the communication technique.
The two of them immediately stopped talking.
Salin took out a large black cloth full of holes and covered his body, and the magic fluctuations and aura on his body suddenly disappeared a lot, only some leaked out of the hole.
Lin An recognized at a glance that this was the black cloth that had resisted the impact of the explosion that day, and Salin opened the corner of the black cloth and motioned for her to come in.
Lin An frowned.
After Salin ripped off the hypocrisy of whitewashing the peace between them, he basically didn't bother much in front of her, a kind of Cheng dΓΉ, which was a subtle attitude of submissiveness that wanted to mend the relationship, indicating his willingness to live in peace.
Of course, Lin An is also happy to do this, and compared to others, she and Salin certainly have a foundation of mutual trust.
So this time, it seemed that she couldn't refuse Saleen's offer of goodwill.
Lin An didn't hesitate for too long, and got under the crook of Salin's arm, and the black cloth fell, burying the breath of the two.
The black cloth was large and wide, but the two of them were still relatively close, and their breathing seemed to be close to their ears.
But neither of them had any thoughts, and Saleen extinguished the fluorite lamp in his hand, leaving only two pairs of shining eyes in the darkness, and glanced at each other, and cautiously lurked ahead.
