Chapter 16: A Dragon's Heel-turning

"I'm just a secondary two disease that will never grow up......"

Lei Ruoya buried her whole face in her hands, and her voice choked when she spoke. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Priest on the side sighed softly, and then slowly walked towards Lei Ruoya in the darkness, and said, "Those people are dead...... It doesn't make sense for you to go on like this. ”

Lei Ruoya didn't speak, just buried her head deeper.

"Actually...... Priest simply sat down in front of Lei Ruoya, "Little girl, I think the situation you faced before is another form of the 'dragon problem'......"

The master paused deliberately, and seeing that Lei Ruoya did not react, he continued: "Let's assume that there is still a dragon like that, and there are still five humans in front of it, and it is still rushing towards those five people, trying to eat them. You'll still have a rope in your hand that holds the dragon's head, if you don't do anything...... The dragon would kill the five men. ”

"But the difference is that if you pull the rope this time, the dragon's head won't twist to the other side because of your actions...... Instead, it will flutter and flappe back to the starting point, but when it returns to the starting point, the dragon will still pounce on the five people, and those five people still can't escape the fate of death. You know what I mean - that is, you can keep pulling the rope and the dragon will keep somersaulting and going back to the starting point...... But those five people can't run, no matter how many times you pull the rope, the dragon will still pounce on them, and if things don't turn around, for example, if Master Priest was born to sanction this unscrupulous dragon and so on, if you want to save those five people, you can only pull that rope indefinitely. ”

Priest seriously assumes a strange-sounding 'dragon problem' and then goes on to himself, "You're going to hold the dragon until things turn around, or so on and so on indefinitely." It's a long process, and it's possible that you'll end up waiting for a turnaround and saving them all after watching the dragon's long backflip performance.

But it's also possible that you're tired or lazy in the process of pulling the rope, so you don't hold the rope all of a sudden, and finally the dragon pounces and eats the people you want to save......

If that's the case, I think no one including you will forgive you, and everyone will think that you are equivalent to killing these five people.

- 'Why are you tired at a critical moment when you can save everyone!' What's the difference between you and a murderer!? ’”

Master Priest pinched his throat and imitated Reroya's tone vividly.

When Lei Ruoya heard this, she finally raised her head, looked at Priest in front of her with red and swollen eyes, and asked in a choked voice, "Isn't it?" I'm ...... Obviously it could have saved them...... Am I not wrong? ”

"No, no, no, I'm not saying you're not wrong, you're wrong, of course you're wrong......" Priest shook his head and looked into Lei Ruoya's eyes seriously, "Since you chose to take the initiative to hold that rope, it means that you have taken on that responsibility, that responsibility to save those five people from the dragon's mouth...... But you failed, you didn't hold the dragon well, you're a failed dragon tamer. Even if everyone else thinks you did your best, and you shouldn't be blamed for this, I don't think you can forgive yourself for it. ”

After hearing this, Lei Ruoya's nose began to twitch again, and she was about to cry again.

The master hurriedly added at this time, "But that's not the point...... What's more, you took this responsibility even though you knew it could turn into a sin. The important thing is that you pull the rope, and although the result may be the same as not pulling it, but you do it.

In the face of this problem, many people may feel that 'once or twice is fine, but infinity is too long', this approach is too tiring, and they can't hold such a rope at all, so they give up the opportunity to pull the rope.

You chose a different path than theirs, and you took the initiative to pull that rope up. ”

These words made Lei Ruoya stop sobbing, and she stared blankly at the darkness in front of her, but she didn't know what to think.

"But...... What's the use of that? Those who take risks...... It's still dead. ”

Master Priest took a deep breath, and his tone gradually hardened: "The people in this question, or the adventurers you want to save, all have the same characteristic...... It's that if you don't do anything, they're all going to die eventually.

And if you choose to save them, they may survive or die.

If they still die, it means that you have to bear the sin. Since you have chosen to take responsibility, you must have shoulders to match...... If you stop because of this sin, then you are just running away!

You hold this rope, you just want to save them, you may not do your best, you may not do better, but you still want to take on this responsibility and sin, since you have decided to take it yourself, then you should not stop!

Many people don't dare to pull the rope, but you do; Many people don't dare to take the initiative to put the responsibility of salvation on their shoulders, but you resist it!

Little girl, I never said you were right, you were right...... Those dozen adventurers are indeed equivalent to being killed by you! There's nothing wrong with that! They're dead! No matter what we do, we can't change that fact!

But...... But if you dare to take up the rope, don't stop!

Since you think you should take this responsibility, and since you are arrogant that all this is your fault, then you should show your ability as a 'high-level player'! Don't let this failure leave you depressed forever!

Otherwise, you tell me, if this is going to be depressed...... What's the difference between you and those 'waste wood' in your mouth!? ”

After shouting this long passage in one breath, the master's breathing became heavy, and his long beard continued to rise and fall along his chest.

He stared at Lei Ruoya with wide eyes, and then in his sight......

He saw that Lei Ruoya was stunned for a moment and then began to shake her head, and at the same time muttered in her mouth, "The same...... It's the same as that bunch of scrap wood......"

"No, it's not like that......"

"I'm not the same as them...... I'm not the same as them! ”

The dimmed star in Lei Ruoya's eyes seemed to be lit up again in an instant, bursting out with bright brilliance!

Lei Ruoya vigorously wiped the tears on her face with both hands, and then said to Master Priest in front of her: "Master, that's called a 'high-end player', not a 'high-level player'. ”

……

The door, which had been closed for nearly three days, finally opened, and the soft light seeped into the interior of the room through the open space.

My sister, who hadn't seen the light for several days, couldn't help but cover her eyes, and it took a while before she slowly removed her palm.

The first thing she saw was her brother, who was also much haggard, and the brother outside the door was now looking at her with a very worried gaze.

Lei Ruoya's nose was sour, and she pounced on her brother and threw herself into a bear hug.

Lei Yang was caught off guard by his sister's sudden attack, but fortunately, his sister's body was still petite after all, and after taking a few steps back, he still caught his sister steadily.

Lei Ruoya leaned her head tightly on Lei Yang's chest and said softly, "I've worked hard these past few days...... Brother. ”

Lei Yang was about to say something when he heard this, but then he wrinkled his nose strangely.

……

The magic shop parlor.

Xu Ke was originally sitting quietly in the store, frowning and thinking about something.

After seeing Lei Ruoya walking out of the inner room with a high spirit, he stood up for the first time while still thinking, and said to the girl with a sense of relief: "Miss Lei Ruoya, it's great that you can come out......

But before he finished speaking, Lei Ruoya waved his hand and interrupted his words: "There is no need to say compliments, as a high-end player, overcoming this psychological barrier is just a matter of hand-to-hand capture, let's cut straight to the point." You must have confirmed that the demons outside the city are brewing a large-scale summoning this time, so you are in a hurry to come and ask me to come out of the mountain, so that I can lead the team to explore the cave last time, I already have a rough idea of this matter, first of all...... Secondly...... And then...... Finally ......"

After Lei Ruoya said a lot of words, she suddenly found that Xu Ke in front of her wrinkled his nose and his face was a little ugly.

She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Surprised? Think I've been locked up in a room alone for so long, and I can still think of this? I'll tell Mr. Xu Ke that you should be good for these habits, after all, as our only high-end player......"

Seeing that Lei Ruoya was about to fall into that inexplicable frenzy again, Xu Ke hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt her spellcasting: "No, no, I think Miss Ruoya you may have misunderstood." In fact, Miss Lei Ruoya, as a high-end player, I am not surprised at all to think of this......"

"And what do you mean by that expression?" This time it was Lei Ruoya's turn to be surprised.

"Hmm......" Xu Ke glanced at Lei Ruoya, and then said strangely, "I want to say...... Miss Ruoya, it's time for you to take a shower. ”

“…… Teacher Xu Ke: You can't find a girlfriend like this. ”

……

Master Priest walked out of the room, looking at Lei Ruoya after returning to normal, and couldn't help but have a distinct smile on his face.

"Do you like her that much?"

Out of nowhere, Xiaowei suddenly got to Master Priest's side and said quietly.

Regarding Xiaowei's sudden appearance, the master didn't seem to feel the slightest surprise, and said without looking back: "Of course...... He's an interesting guy after all......"

"What's interesting?" Xiaowei seemed a little puzzled.

After hearing this, the master frowned and thought about it, as if he was stuck in a memory.

After a while, he laughed again:

"When I first met this little girl, when I didn't know her...... When she saw me, she threw three questions at me: 'Who are you?' Where are you from? Where are you going? ', hahahaha...... Even now that I think about it, these three questions are still interesting......"

Xiaowei looked at the laughing Master Priest with an inexplicable face, thinking to herself what was so interesting about these three questions.

She was silent for a moment, then asked, "And then what did you answer?" ”

Priest stopped laughing, but still had a smile on his face.

He turned his head with a smile, looked at Xiao Wei, and replied word by word: "I'm Priest, I'm from the Azure Continent, and I want to go to ......."

"The end of this world." (To be continued.) )
