The so-called "chips" are just a name, you can think of it as a belief, or a position. Most of your memories are engraved with the imprint of the wilderness, so you don't need to choose a side, you belong to the wilderness, and you need to kill, conquer, plunder and expand in the name of the wilderness. ”

Amandina's mention of the word "expansion" reminded Lowe of the way in which his instincts were once fanatical, but were eventually nipped in the bud by himself.

He also thought of the "sword" and the "spear", and of the soldier wrapped in thick armor.

"My child, have you ever listened to the heartbeat of the wilderness? Have you ever wondered if this dead and vast wilderness under our feet also has a consciousness of its own? Have your own likes and dislikes? ”

Luo's heart couldn't help but move.

He is accustomed to approaching the wilderness on all fours, to listen to the heartbeat of the wilderness, to spy on the likes and dislikes of the wilderness. Lowe even felt that he was the one who was extra favored by the wilderness, because his luck was always a little bit better than the others.

Whether the wilderness was self-conscious, just as Lowe had puzzled whether the staggering mob was self-conscious, Lowe didn't know, and he didn't have enough time to ponder such heavy and oppressive questions.

If the wilderness is self-aware, what are humans? A parasite clinging to the skin of the wilderness and greedily sucking the blood of the wilderness?

"I'm self-aware of the wilderness, and I've tried to communicate with it again and again, but ......"

Amandina's voice was so soft that Lowe had to pay full attention to hear what she was saying.

"Wilderness and ice fields and oceans cannot coexist, at least indefinitely on a planet whose resources are almost depleted. This also forces everyone who is born and grows in the wilderness to fight for its survival after it has grown to a certain stage. Fight for more and more valuable resources for the wilderness through killing, and continue the life of the wilderness. ”

"The so-called chips, are they the mutated tissue samples of those mutated creatures on the ice field?"

Luo also wanted to ask more clearly, in order for his girl to live with dignity, he didn't mind walking his bloody path of growth again, in the ice field.

He has long since adapted to the "survival of the fittest" rule of the wilderness. Slightly different, it may just be a change in the process of growth from a wilderness to a more brutal ice field, and the exchange of those mutated tissue samples from food and drinking water to so-called so-called sober "bargaining chips".

"You have thought a little simply, my dear child."

Armandina stretched out a slender hand with pointed black nails to cover her black lipstick lips, yawned lazily, and chuckled.

"The things you are familiar with are just the currency of humanity itself. What the wilderness needs is devouring, devouring beings who are at the same life level as it. So, what you need to do, and the only thing you need to do, is to cover more territory beyond the wilderness with the breath of the wilderness. These include ice sheets and marine ......"

Lowe seemed to understand something.

The wilderness has accelerated its pace of elimination again and again, forcing the humans and endless mutated creatures on the wilderness to kill each other in order to survive. The purpose of elimination is not to exterminate, but to sharpen knives that can loot more resources for the wilderness and are sharp enough.

For example, the Lord, the Sub-God, and even the being above the Sub-God.

While the wilderness is obsolete all things, it itself is facing the fate of being eliminated. Its opponents are not the ferocious and tyrannical mutant wolves, not the humans who have run wild on the path of evolution, but the ice fields, oceans, and even the unknown endless abyss that are as mysterious and eternal as it.

The Cardivan family has the iron-blooded wolf group that fights on the ice field all year round, and the Begu family has the marquis's black armor legion, while these behemoths defend the dignity of the family, the greater role should be through endless killing, in exchange for the right of some people in the family to be sober, to obtain enough so-called "bargaining chips" for these existences that have almost stood at the end of evolution.

Luo Yi vaguely remembered that the instructor Camilla in Nirvana Town had the nickname "Ice Butcher", and she was able to live so unscrupulously, which should also be based on the corpses of mountains of ice creatures, right?

Through frenzied killing, by devouring the vast ice fields and even the ocean, to expand the territory of the wilderness, in exchange for the right to be sober!

This is the rule, this is the rule of the naked wilderness.

Whoever grabs it is whoever's is!

Lowe had never touched the ice fields, and all his memories were in the wilderness. In addition to Eris, who had already stepped into the ice field, there were also the Dupont brothers from the depths of the ice field, who were extremely unfamiliar with everything in the ice field.

Killing to open up territory for the wilderness?

Expanding the territory requires killing, it needs to be like the Iron Wolf Regiment, and it needs an Iron and Blood Killing Army like the Black Armor Legion!

Lowe doesn't have the capital, his Alik hasn't reached the point where he can conquer the ice fields, and Dark Night is just a toddler.

"What the wilderness needs is a wider territory, a "bargaining chip" that will not be eliminated in the competition of another life level, and this is also what you need to prepare for your girl. ”

Amandina sighed softly, with a slight sigh, her eyelids slid slightly, as if she was reminiscing about her legendary life.

"Your Excellency, I think I have a preliminary understanding of the true meaning of the so-called "chips" in your mouth, and I have decided to accept the rules of the wilderness. ”

Lowe did not disturb the other party's reminiscences, he waited patiently until Arandina's eyes looked at him again, and then he spoke softly again.

"You're a very confident little guy, a bit like I was when I was younger. Now that you've got that confidence, let's go back to your last question about finding the right path for your girl to avoid falling asleep, and I'm happy to give you one more option. ”

Arandina stood up, stepped out of the darkness behind her, and walked in front of Lowe.

"You can choose to enter the ice field with her, and she will lead the black armor army under her command as the heir of the marquis, fight in the wilderness, and use her awakened terrifying power to make the ice field remember her blue eyes forever."

"Of course, when she galloped over the ice fields, using her fists to lay down one vast territory after another, and branding herself with the wilderness, she gained not only the fanatical adoration of the Black Armor Legion, but also the right to keep her, her father, and the vast majority of the unruly captains of the Black Armor Legion awake."

"The wilderness doesn't need a tactful catharsis in the icefield, enough tyrannical power can make her live a more nourishing life in the icefield, and it will also make you and your friends get enough respect in the wilderness. This is the choice that my dear brother has made, and this is the path I suggest you choose for her. ”

Amandina and Lowe looked at each other, her eyes also black, but they were the grayish-black color that represented death.

"I don't want her hands to be stained with any stained blood, your honorable lord."

Lowe didn't intend for his girl to become another powerful marquis, it would be contrary to his original intentions, and he didn't think the marquis was happy.

"If you don't think she's a good fit for this path, I can give you another path, but this path should be much more difficult for you than the first one."

Amandina's voice was a little ethereal, and her figure was faintly slackening.

"After she becomes my people, bring her here. I'll seal her instincts, and she'll be able to explore what she likes without worrying about being disturbed. ”

"As for you, my child, you need to prepare the "chips" we mentioned for her to go down this path, which may end you up in the abyss. ”

Amandina's voice grew more ethereal, and her countenance blurred, distorted and shattered like light smoke.

"Your Excellency, can you tell me where the infinite evolution after the sub-gods leads?"

Lowe asked the last question, which he had asked for himself.

"The end of evolution? I'm also looking for the endless abyss, or the ......."

Before Amandina could finish her words, the figure disappeared completely, and Lowe opened her eyes again.

In front of him, there was still the quiet and long stone road, the small window filled with endless moonlight, and the robin in the window with closed eyes and pretending to sleep.

When Luo walked out of the corridor, the old gardener had been waiting for a long time at the edge of the endless sea of flowers.

"Honorable guest, it seems that it has been a long time since your Excellency has spent so much time talking to people, just like this fragrant elf in the garden, it has not been so vigorous and alive for a long time. Therefore, the conversation between Your Excellency and you should be conducted in a harmonious atmosphere. ”

The old man was still slightly hunched over, but he did not take his worn shower, and the wrinkles on his loose neck seemed to have been reduced, and even the crest of the Begu family on his chest shone with a happy sheen.

The technology of the new era has developed to a staggering extent, and it only takes a few minutes for the old man to solve this small flaw on his back.

Is this another old man who misses the old times like old Pat?

Luo remembered the old times from the small camel bag on the old man's back, and also remembered the only remaining trace of his knowledge of the old times.

"Your Excellency has asked me to send you away, and let me convey to you that when Your Excellency Yi Begu arrives, you will have the right to come again at any time, and the gates of this castle will be open for you at any time."

Lowe wasn't surprised. This right is a gift from the Lady Amandina Begu, the patriarch of the Begu family, to Luo's final choice to let Yi join the Begu family, giving Luo, who raised Yi, a safe haven that can be used to protect him from the wind and rain no matter what kind of murder and robbery he faces.

The only thing in the twilight of the twilight seemed to be the queenly Amandina and the old gardener, and Lowe never saw anyone else, not even the servants who were in charge of daily life.

But Lowe likes this place, and it is also the place where he finally chooses for his girl to continue to live with dignity. There was no killing, no blood, no mutated creatures, not even the radiant sunlight.

There is only moonlight in the twilight zone, a bright endless moonlight, a moonlight that never fades.

"I hope for your bounty, honorable gardener."

Luo was not in a hurry to leave, he thought of a luxury of his old times buried deep in his heart. Perhaps after meeting this hard-working gardener, this extravagant hope has a glimmer of possibility.

"Gifts? Dear guests, all I can do is make these fragrant elves last a little longer. They're so fascinating, so you shouldn't plan to end their lives prematurely, so ......"

A warm color appeared on the old man's thin old face.

"Dear guest, what type of flower do you want?"

Lowe left Twilight, carrying a shriveled but hopeful flower seed from the old man in his arms.
