Chapter 218: Responsibility
During the time when Li Shui was eating, Yunlang thought about it a lot.
There are probably two possible reasons why the outpost was attacked: one is that the being stumbled upon the outpost and provoked it to relieve its desolation, and the other is that the being pursued and launched the attack for some purpose.
If the reason is the former, Yunlang can only sigh that he is unlucky. However, he had a strong feeling that the latter was more likely.
Judging from the attack launched by the other side, it was very weak, and it did not cause substantial damage to the outpost. The only effect was to startle Yun Lang and make him angry.
And the Cloud Rain Moon has also mentioned many times that the being is being sealed in the dimensional rift and has lost its freedom. It was probably something that happened to the dimensional rift that loosened the seal a little, allowing him to send out messages and activate weak motives.
From this point of view, even if he discovers the outpost, there is no reason to launch a direct attack! This is tantamount to a provocation, if the outpost has sufficient energy, and directly retaliate, even if he is not killed directly, it will make him uncomfortable....... If his mind had been a little more normal, he wouldn't have made such a reckless move.
However, there is something wrong with that guy's thinking, and there may be such a boring behavior...... While this cannot be completely ruled out, the other scenario is clearly more likely.
First of all, after the outpost was built, there was also a while, he didn't attack sooner or later, but he waited until the captive from the east of the Despair Mountains was trapped here before he suddenly attacked. It would be more far-fetched to say that the two have nothing to do with each other.
Secondly, this captive is strong and strong-willed, and should shoulder some special mission. It stands to reason that there should be a special force that is watching or operating the whole thing. When she was trapped here, it was hard to guarantee that her accomplices were unaware, and it was not impossible for her accomplices to discover the existence of the outpost because of this....... As a corollary, it is possible that the being is affiliated with the same force as her.
In the end, since the Demon God and the High Heaven have appeared, many things that do not make sense are completely reasonable.......
After straightening out these relationships, Yun Lang was also a little embarrassed, and said in his heart: If this world is roughly similar to the world in the game, the Demon God and the High-level Heaven will definitely reappear at some point....... At that time, where am I standing? The demon god who wants to destroy the world is certainly not a good thing, but those high-ranking angels don't seem to be good people either!
He thought about it a lot, but in the end he didn't come to a conclusion, so he was forced to wait and see for a while.......
When Li Shui finished eating the food quickly, Yun Lang was still a little distracted.
"Hah....... The West of the Despair Mountains has far more products than the East of the Despair Mountains. In our place, in addition to eating bugs and fish, we can only eat grass seeds and tree roots. She said it lightly, but there was a sense of envy that was hard to hide.
After Yun Lang came back to his senses, he glanced at her: "As mentioned in the story, isn't it possible to produce food near the sheltered place?"
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to know about the existence of the Sanctuary Place....... However, hundreds of years ago, it was in ruins, and the survivors had long since moved away. ”
Speaking of this, she asked curiously, "Did you say in the story that there is any place east of the Despair Mountains that is absolutely safe?"
Yun Lang heard that there was something in her words, so he didn't answer, but urged: "Let's talk about it first, why did you come here!"
After going around and going back to the original question, Li Shui officially replied: "In order to express sincerity, please allow me to introduce myself: My name is Li Shui, I am from the east of the Despair Mountains, and I belong to the Shrine Maiden Council.
Not long ago, some fallen shrine maidens found a way to summon the demon god Baal, but they needed an artifact to complete the final preparations. After investigating, they were convinced that the artifact was in the Death Mountains, west of the Despair Mountains.
Many fanatical degenerates have forsaken their magic and endured untold pain to force their way through the barrier to the east of the Mountains of Despair. It cannot be ruled out that some degenerates, after coming to this rich world, regained their sanity and confidence, and turned into hiding, but more degenerates are still firmly carrying out the plan to summon the demon god.
As a member of the shrine maiden council, I certainly can't sit idly by. I received a lot of help to get through that barrier and make it to this wonderful world. I traced them all the way, carefully mixed with them, and found a lot of useful information.
However, all my efforts were ruined by that terrible little girl. She wielded a terrifying artifact that killed thousands of fallen people in an instant. I was caught off guard and almost fell, but a good sister gave me a powerful defensive artifact that offset the damage for me.
I was a little flustered and should have fled as soon as possible. But what makes me more curious is who exactly launched that attack. So I stayed, and summoned the most defensive golem with all my might, but I was still crushed by that weapon in an instant. By the time I tried to escape, it was too late.
Hmph, after I was caught, I first identified myself, but instead of giving preferential treatment, the little girl repeatedly ...... After so much torture and humiliation, how can I trust you so easily......."
In the end, she was also full of complaints.
Yun Lang listened carefully, more or less embarrassed: "In that kind of situation where the enemy and I are not clear, Jiang Yue has done some radical behavior, please understand." ”
If it weren't for the fact that he had already made up his mind to ask Yunlang for help, with Li Shui's character, I am afraid that he would definitely not easily accept this kind of painless apology.
"Hmph......." After having this special thought, she could only snort lightly in response.
"Can you ask another question, do you have anything to do with that Leorik....... Yun Lang tried to change the subject first.
"No!" Before Yunlang finished speaking, she angrily denied: "It doesn't matter at all......."
If she didn't answer like this, Yun Lang wouldn't think much about it. Hearing her say this, how could Yun Lang not think about it....... However, now was not the time to discuss this, and after he successfully changed the subject, he did not continue to discuss the matter.
After Li Pingping calmed down, he continued: "Don't you want to know what useful news I have found out after all my hard work?
Yun Lang straightened up and said politely: "If you are willing to say, of course I am willing to listen!"
Li Shui wanted to tell him directly.
Because from her standpoint, if the emperor is willing to assist, it will also be extremely beneficial to her. But I think that if I don't take the opportunity to exchange for some benefits, I always seem too stupid.
"I can tell you, but you also want to return my freedom. She thought about it quickly and didn't ask too much.
Yun Lang shook his head: "I can't let you leave for the time being...... Because I'm going to check if you've cheated on me!"
When Li Shui heard this, his face changed instantly, and he was furious: "I still have an important mission, and I can't stay here all the time." You...... If you don't let me go, I won't tell you. ”
Yunlang was not in a hurry, and analyzed her with a smile: "You don't want to say that it is you who loses." ”
"Why?" Although she already had the answer in her heart, she still asked unconsciously.
"They want to summon the Demon God, and it's going on all the time. If you don't share information about them, I won't be able to accurately judge the whole situation and make the most reasonable response, and if they succeed, you will be most responsible. ”
Li Shui was stunned and felt that what Yun Lang said made some sense.......
"Hehe, you should also know my situation here, no matter how powerful the demon god is, he will definitely not be able to enter here! When it is dangerous, I will gather the people in, even if the demon god comes into the world, I can be safe and worry-free!"
"You....... Aren't you concerned about the lives and deaths of others, except for the tiny town of Shining Gold, there is the Stormwind Empire south of the Death Mountains, the Eternal Forest to the west of the Shining Plains, and the prairies to the north....... In every place, there are hundreds of millions of living beings, and if the demon god really comes, they will all die miserably. You can help them, but you choose to run away, and you will spend endless years in regret in the future!" she yelled excitedly at the end.
Yun Lang was very indifferent: "At that time, I can explain to myself like this, it is all because Li Shui concealed the news, which caused this situation." If she had revealed the news earlier, you wouldn't have died, maybe the demon god wouldn't have come, and the world wouldn't have been destroyed!"
"You....... Why do you keep putting the blame on me!" she protested angrily.
