Tina's words stunned Finn.

The young paladin stared at the anxious little girl in front of him with wide eyes and thought, "Hey, what are you fooling about?" When did I say I didn't want you anymore?

He stared at the corners of the little girl's somewhat moist eyes for a long time, raised his head and looked at Camussa and Arroyo next to him, and roughly thought of the ambiguity in his words just now, so he had to lower his gaze again and said to the little girl in front of him: "Listen, Tina, I won't drive you away, but I'm not your master either." ”

"But ......"

"Nothing good. Remember, my name is Finn, you don't have to call me master, calling me by my name is the greatest respect for me. ”

"Honor... Heavy? The half-elf girl froze for a moment, muttering out the word that was alien to her.

"Yes, respect." The young paladin nodded solemnly, "We are equal, you respect me, and I respect you." Think about it, would you call your friends masters? ”

"That'...... Fei, Brother Finn. She blinked, as if she understood something, and raised her eyes timidly and said, "Thank you for buying me, I will definitely listen to you in the future, do you need me to do something for you?" ”

"I—"

The young paladin was speechless, and then slapped himself in the face.

In the history of the game, King Atrik, the ancestor of the Violet Kingdom, has said that conquering a land is hard, but trying to destroy a group is relatively easy, because conquest requires not only your enemies to submit, but also those who submit to you to agree with your ideals and identify with your culture.

Destruction, on the other hand, requires only a sturdy mental shackle for the subservient, and the lowly slaves will probably forget forever that they still stood up straight.

Finn recalled his previous efforts to abolish slavery, and thought that the traffickers' long-term subtle psychological hints about slaves really could not be changed overnight, so he immediately took a breath and grinned, and finally decided to make a superficial compromise and replied to Tina: "Okay, I need you to remember one thing now." From today onwards, can you forget what those people used to teach you? ”

"Should... Yes. Tina pursed her lips and nodded, "And then, Brother Finn?" ”

"Then give me a note." He lowered his gaze to staring at the pair of beautiful snow-blue eyes, "Nobles are people, commoners are people, slaves are people, and you are too... Oh no, you're half-elf...... But that's what it means. Our lives are all given by Liv, the goddess of life, and on the basis of life, we are all created equal, and there is no such thing as being born high or low, can you remember? ”

"Well, I can remember." Tina listened carefully and nodded again.

"Repeat that last sentence." Fein looked at her and asked, "Now." ”

"Our lives are given by Liv, the goddess of life, and on the basis of life, we are all created equal, and there is no natural high or low."

"Good."

Looking at the little girl who finally understood a little bit of what she meant, Finn smiled with relief, and then heard a noise coming from the tent next to the campfire, and immediately turned his head to find that the elf girl had changed her clothes and hunched out of it.

"Arya?" He exclaimed.

"Finn, Lilith is awake." The elven girl with blond hair stood up and ran over in two or three small steps, and immediately reported the news to the young paladin who was looking at her, "Go and see her, her spirit seems to be a little ......"

"Something is not normal?" Finn immediately became alarmed, "Does it look like some kind of stimulus?" ”

"Hmm......" Arya looked at Finn and nodded with a pursed mouth, "Anyway, go and see, she-"

"No need."

The elf girl had just finished speaking, when the familiar voices of the young people suddenly came from the tent where the cloth had just been covered.

Everyone's eyes turned to that side, and then they saw the black-haired warlock girl reach out and lift the curtain of the tent, and follow Arya out of the tent, her dark eyes opening again for the first time in a long time.

The expression on Lilith's face was as calm as usual, and the voice she had just spoken was soft, still without emotion. Volt's intonation.

The black-haired warlock girl came out of the tent, her bottomless eyes looked around and quickly locked onto the young paladin, and then walked towards the latter with an expressionless face and said, "Finn, note. ”

"Notes?" The young paladin looked at her.

"Glens's notes." The Warlock Maiden seemed to think that Finn didn't understand, so she commented on it a little.

Everyone's eyes turned from Lilith to Finn.

Finn looked into Lilith's eyes, and the past few encounters had led him to guess the latter's thoughts, and then took the crumpled roll of parchment from the empty pocket he had brought with him.

He handed Lilith the parchment that Glens had transcribed in Babel, and Lilith took the parchment, crouched down and spread it out on the grass by the lake.

The crowd, including Tina, curiously approached from all around. Lily stared at the roll of paper for about two or three seconds with her unwavering eyes, then reached out and grabbed one side of the paper with both hands, and gently tore it open a small corner in two opposite directions.

"Hey, this is a good piece of paper, why are you tearing it?" Raymond stood aside and bent down, watching Lilith's movements in a puzzled expression.

Lilith ignored him.

Finn understood that the Warlock Maiden might have her own thoughts, and then gave Raymond a look, and put his index finger to his mouth to signal the future Juggernaut to be quiet.

In this way, the work of the warlock girl was carried out unhurriedly under the attention of everyone.

Soon, Finn, Camussa, Arroyo, and Arya, in turn, noticed that she was not tearing at the parchment in her hand, but cutting the text along the edges of the area occupied by the characters on it, along countless invisible edge lines.

About two or three minutes passed, and the complete parchment was finally torn and cut into dozens of square pieces of paper each with a character written on it by the awakened warlock girl. Lilith laid the pieces of paper neatly on the ground, and Finn was afraid that the evening breeze by the lake would blow them apart, so he simply asked everyone to sit down around the campfire.

As the young men sat around and the dark-haired girl read the pieces of paper she had laid out on the grass in a new order, Fein judged that she was in the process of a new round of translation, and waited patiently until her lips were closed, and then asked, "Is this another way of reading the Babel?" ”

"Hmm." Lilith looked up and said yes.

Babel is a hieroglyph, and these separate characters resemble the runes of dwarven clans, each with a separate meaning.

Lilith had just taken the individual Babel characters from the parchment that Glens had used to transcribe the whereabouts, and put them back together in a new order, a method of cracking encrypted information that was somewhat similar to the movable type printing that Finn had known in his previous life.

The Warlock Maiden rearranged the order of the words according to the memories she had recovered after waking up, and after reading them once, she felt that there should be no problem, so she looked into the eyes of the young paladin, and then asked, "Finn, do you want me to translate them?" ”

Fein speculated that Lilith must have gotten new information from the rearranged Babel scripts. He thought about it in his head, and was just about to answer the warlock girl who was looking at him, when he suddenly felt someone tugging at his sleeve beside him.

The young paladin turned his head and found the elven girl sitting next to him squeezing his eyebrows, and then glanced at the dark elven girl on the other side in front of his eyes, his eyes full of defensiveness and wariness.

He immediately read Arya's eyes.

"Camussa is an outsider." - That's what she said in her eyes.

Finn glanced sideways at the Dark Elf Maiden sitting on the other side of him, Camussa sensed that someone was watching her, then glanced sideways at Finn and Arya, and then withdrew her gaze, as if she didn't care, but she didn't intend to avoid it.

The young paladin looked back and reconsidered.

After a while, he made a decision in his heart, and then he didn't deliberately let Camussa leave temporarily, but just said directly to Lilith, "Translate." As last time, it was translated into lingua franca. ”

"Hmm." Lilith agreed, then lowered her head again.
