Chapter 368: Unbelievable news
After the business was over, "Zhihu" and Lin An exchanged a few more words. ΛΛ
The conversation is nothing more than the diplomatic rhetoric of a formal setting, interspersed with some curious inquiry, but it is not aggressive, and the inquiry is only about some background that has long been known to outsiders, this kind of conversation is actually very boring, but it is the necessary politeness and procedure when dealing with people for the first time.
"Zhihu" had a gentle attitude, as if he had a good impression of the people represented by Lin An and the others, including Krum, all the people present were asked and taken care of by him, and no one was left out in the cold. Even Lin An, who felt that his city government was too deep and defensive, had to say that the commander of the Gappari Army, who was known as the "Wisdom Fox", was indeed a seasoned politician, and it was difficult for people to refuse when they wanted to gain people's favor.
And from the conversation, Lin Nan also roughly learned the background of "Zhihu", and quickly associated it with the Arc of Fire, and then learned from John's respectful answer to "Zhihu" that there was a rather familiar relationship between "Zhihu" and Captain Williams.
There are always accidents when marching and fighting, and the arc of flames under the command of "Zhihu" can come on time, which shows that the relationship between the "Zhihu" family and the Moji family, even if it is not a good relationship for generations, but at least the relationship is not bad. ΛΛ
This is the real ancient aristocracy that has been passed down for a long time, the etiquette is only the surface, the real essence is the intertwined relationship and alliance of interests that have been strengthened by long-term inheritance, and whenever a crisis arises, the help from the interests of the alliance is sometimes likely to become the key to turning the tide.
Lin An was keenly aware of some of the information behind it, and after learning this, she also had a general direction for the next step of "Zhihu":
Obviously, this "Zhihu" does not have a plan to return to the rear camp after completing the mission, after all, most of the casualties in the battle of Ice Valley are those slave soldiers who are desperate to die, and the elite of the Arc of Flames is basically not injured, so the Arc of Flames has the capital to go to the Loew River.
And from the fact that this "Zhihu" had already prepared to bring a large number of slave soldiers to fight, Lin An could also expect that the "Zhihu" soldiers were definitely not just planning to add to the icing on the cake, but to share the victory of the Loew Valley with their own interests and allies-
Of course, relatively speaking, this is a little unfair to Captain Williams, after all, when he encounters the dilemma of the Loew River Valley, the pressure and crisis he bears are much greater than that of the "Zhihu" now, and the movement is the risk of family decline, otherwise there is no need to send even his own bloodline son to the mortal mission to win a glimmer of life.
The pressure that "Zhihu" needs to bear is naturally not so great, and the legion under the command of the commander of the Williams Legion will get rid of the army of the undead, and the situation is already relatively clear, but if the 30,000 troops under the command of the commander of the Williams Legion alone are facing the demon army that is trying to surprise the Loew River Valley, the victory or defeat is still between the two, and the "Zhihu" leads the arc of flames that is still intact to rush away, which happens to be the last chess piece of the final game. ΛΛ
What Lin An admires is that the "Zhihu" has a perfect grasp of proportion:
The Arc of Flames was thrown into the battlefield of the Loew Valley a day later, which was naturally not the first achievement. But relatively speaking, the commander of the Williams Legion will not forget his help, and the military cannot ignore the victory and defeat of the Arc of Flame entering the battlefield, and the demon army at the end of the strong crossbow should not be able to make the Arc of Flame hurt the muscles and bones, so that the Arc of Flame continues to retain the strength to participate in the war, compared to the Long-tailed Green Eagle Legion, whose strength will inevitably be greatly damaged after the Battle of the Loew River Valley, "Zhihu" and the Arc of Flame under his command can be said to have both gained face and retained the inside-
"A man who is worthy of being called 'Zhihu', it's really a last resort!"
Lin An sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but feel more jealousy in his heart:
She doesn't like to deal with such a person, after all, there are too many secrets on her body, and if she accidentally reveals a clue, she may be coveted.
She reviewed her actions this time:
"The gain is undoubtedly huge, but it seems to be too high-profile, the things I made up just now were not detected by the mage's polygraph spell, but they may not be able to deal with the 'Zhihu', no wonder I feel that the 'Zhihu' reaction is a little strange......
Take 10,000 steps back and say, perhaps due to the usual mystery of the mage's methods, "Zhihu" believes my statement, but the strength shown by me and Sidney is too eye-catching, and there are more or less traces left in the ice valley, maybe he will find cluesββ"
For the horse's feet left in the ice valley, Lin An actually felt a little troublesome - mainly because the traces left by the undead released by Sidney were more difficult to erase, but they were also undead, maybe the people who cleaned up the battlefield found out and thought that they were the undead driven by the demon mage, but if you meet a well-informed person and guess the type and rank of the undead with those traces, then the lies made up by Lin An may be exposed-
Because with the strength of those undead, Lin An and the two should have died a long time ago, where could they still be so alive and jump, and they escaped again and again. ΛΛ
Originally, according to Lin An's expectations, there were just some traces of battle, and there were many people in the valley, so they would naturally cover up the past, but for this "Zhihu" and the arc of flames under his command, Lin An didn't dare to underestimate it, and after thinking about it, he still went to cover up those traces before he found it. ΛΛ
Taking advantage of the "Zhihu" to talk to others, Lin An lowered his head and chewed milk wine, covered his lips with a wine glass, and transmitted Sidney:
"Your Excellency the Legion Commander is not to be fooled, go back and cover up the traces of your 'little treasures'."
"Well, I've done that," Sidney replied, "and I let out a 'scream' when we got out of the valley. β
Sidney's naming taste is terrible, the only screaming resentful spirit is called "Scream", the two silent black warriors are called "Black One" and "Black Two" in chronological order of acceptance, and so on, the only exception is the undead knight leader with the aura of commander, who is called "Leader" by him differently, and can barely be heard.
"Oh?"
Lin An was slightly surprised, but put it down after thinking about it:
When she left the Ice Valley, she noticed Sidney's move of releasing the Screaming Wraith, but no one at the scene found out, and she didn't care what Sidney wanted to do, anyway, when the Screaming Wraith body remained virtual, it was difficult to be discovered at all, and under Sidney's control, of course, she would not rashly absorb people's anger.
- The identity of the necromancer is Sidney's fatal point, and he naturally acts more carefully than her, believing that with his experience, he will certainly handle it better. ΛΛ
After relieving his heart, Lin An stared at the reflection in the cup, as if he was extremely tired.
She and Sidney's magic power was exhausted and counterattacked, but before the reinforcements found them, the two forcibly cast a spell until the magic power was exhausted, and finally overdrew the vitality to excite the high-grade defensive rune stone to the extreme and then collapsed, causing the defensive barrier to break at the last moment, and they also had a situation of magic backlash.
Moreover, while Lin An was waiting for reinforcements, he had already made up a good rhetoric, and he had a unified voice with Sidney, and all aspects were not leaky, coupled with the testimony of John and others and the heroic actions of the two of them, no one doubted it, otherwise it would not be so easy to confirm this merit.
However, Lin An is thinking about another thing now:
The "Zhihu" soldier pointed to the Loew River Valley, and she would definitely not go with her, so she had to have an excuse to return to the rear camp, so it seemed that she had to go back and report something that she had originally planned to convey to the leader of the reinforcements.
She and Sidney went deep into the tiger's den, and naturally they got more than the materials Sidney had looted.
After capturing the demon necromancer alive, it was not surprising that he did not find the special secret method of cultivating the undead of the demon race in the memory of the other party, after all, the other party was just cannon fodder who was abandoned, and Sidney didn't have much hope.
But there are gains and losses, but Lin An accidentally found the answer to a question that had puzzled her for a long time from the memory of the demon mage, and the content of the answer can be said to be appalling-
"Master Lin? Master Lynn! β¦β¦β
Lin An came back to her senses in the voice of the call, and found that it was the "Zhihu" Gappari himself who was calling her, and her face couldn't help but show an apologetic slight bow, "I'm very sorry, I'm not in good spirits, it's rude!" β
"It's the despicable to say I'm sorry.
You are injured, you shouldn't stay longer, it's too careless, you want to be close to you, but it's self-defeating, I hope you don't blame. β
"Zhihu" said with a smile.
His polite words did not make people think that he was too modest, but made everyone think that this person was very polite and virtuous, which made people feel good in their lives, and everyone did not dare to say it again and again.
I don't dare to speak to this point, and this conversation has naturally come to an end.
After saying a few more words, the two sides of the dialogue became Lin An and "Zhihu" again, and John and the others were waiting for Lin An, who had unknowingly established his prestige among everyone, to come forward as a representative to say goodbye, but Lin An, who looked tired, suddenly spoke:
"Your Excellency Gappari, there is one thing that I must say to you alone."
"Okay, I'll have a camp cleared right away."
"Zhihu" flashed a trace of surprise in his pale eyes, looked at the people with different faces, and quickly said gently.
"No, just say it here."
Lin An said, her lips moved slightly, in the eyes of everyone, the content of the words seemed to be only a short sentence, and she couldn't tell what she had said to "Zhihu"-
But in the next second, "Zhihu" Gapariho stood up, and the heavy high-backed chair behind him was kicked down by him with a bang, but he didn't care, his attention was completely on Lin An, his face was gently dispersed, his majesty increased violently, and his face changed drastically staring at Lin An:
"What you said, is it true?"
"I am not completely sure of this matter, but the various things I have experienced have revealed some clues, which makes me wonder all the time...... Presumably, the adults have also noticed a little bit or two in their heartsββ"
Lin An was not suppressed by the power of the "Zhihu" at all, and lowered his head seemingly to avoid the edge, but his tone was very steady,
Therefore, when I heard that demon mage make a lot of nonsense, although it was unbelievable, I didn't take it as arrogance.
After returning safely, I thought about it again and again in my heart, and felt that I really couldn't hide it, and would rather find it just a false alarm, and put a bad name on my back that I was uncertain and fuss in the lower back, than that if things were real, and my army would encounter unforeseen dangers. β
