Chapter 60: Not an Enemy
"That's it, it's a mess, George is depressed, it's been two days, and Shaqi hasn't been able to see the guests. Madame Alexia has nothing to suggest, but asks in general terms that each person should be held accountable. β
As soon as Riley's words fell, Isabella immediately said, "Dark, let's escape!"
Looking at the tearful Isabella, Dark's heart softened, and he reached out from the crack in the fence and gently stroked her face: "Lala, thank you." However, without the orders of George and Shaqi, the prison would never have been opened. Besides, we didn't make a mistake, so why run away?"
"We don't care about alchemy, can we find a corner that no one knows about and live quietly and freely?"
"No, I don't know about Enya's situation yet, she is innocent, and she can't be left alone. β
"Yes, we can't abandon our friends, but, brother, I don't think Sister Enya will have any problems in the short term. β
"Why?"
"I've heard Lady Alexia say that there are very few fights between epic creatures, because a close fight will only defeat both sides, and unless the opposing race is completely wiped out and the opponent's living environment completely destroyed, more powerful epic creatures may be born. β
Duck was overjoyed: "You mean, even if Enya is captured by Sallon, Sallen will not do anything to her?"
"I think so. I'll beg Lady Alexia again, at least we have to talk to Sallon, and, brother, George is a little ruthless, but you really have to think calmly, it's impossible for one person to kill Salren head-on. Moreover, if it blesses Sister Enya with an insoluble curse or something, even if you kill it, it won't help. β
Darker sat down: "I'm still not strong enough......"
"No, brother, I don't think it's a question of whether it's strong or not, it's impossible for humans to challenge epic creatures head-on with their individual strength, that's to attack the enemy's strengths with their own shortcomings. β
"So what to do?"
"Technology and unity!Brother, our squad has survived countless times, can't it be this time?"
"However, there is no team anymore, everyone has their own plans, how can there be a good way!"
"Scheming, we still have a plan. β
Duck pointed to his mouth, then to his ear, then shook his head, motioning for Riley to pay attention to the circle of truth around her.
Isabella said: "George and Shaqi are not in the team chat. They can't hear us when we speak. Riley has detected it, too, and there isn't a single True Vision circle around, Dark, it seems that George doesn't see you as an enemy. β
Darker ignored this sentence and asked his sister, "What do you have to do?"
"Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. β
"Bounty? Reward for catching an epic creature, isn't it?"
"Let's not think that we can kill it in one go, as long as we go to find and attack it with a steady stream of people, it will definitely be weakened, and maybe Enya can get rid of its shackles on its own. β
Duck frowned, "What about the money? Would it be to take out an epic creature and put a bounty on the Helleye Morningstar Hammer?"
"It's easy, I'll do it. Georgina's voice joined, "Jacques are so annoyed by the endless harassment of the North Sea Trolls that humanity is easy to guide towards xenos, and I can push Red Coral to do it." β
Duck shook his head: "Forget it, Miss, this matter is very simple, I, Sallen, Enya. There's no need to get it too complicated, if you have to get involved, please make it clear. β
"I'm going to stop George from going down the path of a madman alchemist. So, I'm going to muddy the waters and lure more people to this desolate place, so that his evil research can't continue. β
"Guess what happens if this technology leaks out?"
"If you love someone, you can't let them go the wrong way, right?"
"It's a different level of question, Miss. β
"You just say it's okay!"
Duck was silent, Riley and Isabella on the side, staring wide-eyed as they waited for his response.
After a long time, Duck nodded slowly.
At the same time, Mrs. Alexia, who was recuperating in the lounge with her eyes closed, opened her eyes: "Someone, bring Mr. Shaqi." β
After a while, the little box was respectfully held to the small table by the servant, and the mouth in the small box asked, "Suddenly summoned by Madame, is there anything wrong?" You can communicate directly with my brainwave, my mental power is stronger than George's, and I can hold it." β
"But it's more respectful to you. I'm in a hurry to go out and be back in a day or two. You are someone I trust, George and Duck are not in normal moods, there are undercurrents, can you help me?"
"My duty, ma'am. β
"Tell George to stop what he's doing and wait for news from me. I don't have to talk to the team, I just have brainwave communication with you. β
"Yesβyou're going to Sallon?"
"What, have doubts about my strength?"
"No, I'm just worried that your joining will completely upset the balance of the world, and awaken all the epic creatures and transcendental species before humanity grows stronger?"
"So I try to resolve the issue peacefully. I think Sallen has felt no less impact than we have in the last month. For the most part, it is also meditating, looking for a suitable path. Also, I can responsibly tell you that I'm the only one left of the transcendental species, and there's not much of an epic creature left. As long as you do not make fatal mistakes, the light of humanity will eventually illuminate this era. β
"Madame, you ......"
"You don't have to worry about my future. Alchemy, you have to hold on to its reins, I don't want to watch it carry civilization off a cliff twice. β
"We're all in it. β
Later in the day, Lady Alexia found Salren in a trance, by the icy sea.
"Hi old friend, hello. β
Salren leaned over to look at the round and chubby light blue sea salt slime, and said respectfully: "Seeing the transcendent species, Salren is terrified. β
"Then let's walk a little bit together. It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed. β
"Your will. β
Sallen obediently leaned down and let the Salt Slime climb up its neck, and then, a wolf and a slime, walked along the beach.
The tide began, and the rough ice sea set off a huge wave, and the huge sound and flying waves blocked all sound and vision, creating an opportunity for the two strong men to be alone.
"Is there anything you would like to say about the expansion of humanity?"
"Another wave of self-destruction. It's just a little bit bigger. I suppose the abilities of these little ants are not enough to pose a threat to you, right?"
"Of course. You may not be so lucky, though. β
"I try to bear with it. β
"There's a limit to forbearance. β
Sallen smiled: "I don't have any other pursuits now, eat and sleep well, that's all." If I can't bear this, the little octopus Farrakhan and the one sleeping at the bottom of the trench will definitely not be able to hold their breath first, and I won't have to do anything. β
"Well, yes, yes, like before. Human beings, in terms of ability and insight, are like an ignorant child compared to us. But is it really okay for a cute child to make a mistake and sit back and ignore or contribute to the trouble?"
Sallen was stunned for a moment: "Does this sentence mean that you have given up the neutrality that you have always upheld in the past?"
The Sea Salt Slime didn't answer, swayed from side to side a few times, and suddenly asked, "How many beautiful she-wolves have you spoiled?"
Sallen almost fell on his head, crying and laughing: "Can I refuse to answer this awkward question?"
"Oh, because of your size and weight, well, old bachelor, you've worked hard. β
"I'm a little out of your tracks, please wait for me. β
"I have more say than you in this regard! I became a human form, I fell in love with an alchemist, got married, cooperated with him in various experiments on me, and gave him a son, wow, what a special experience!"
"Uh...... I am amazed by your spirit of exploration. β
"At first I just thought it was a game, but then I got completely into it and I was almost enjoying this perfect experience, it was so real, so rich. The role of wife and mother is more suitable for me than the gods on high. I became more perfect and stronger. β
"You want me to be human? That can't be. My dignified Ice Wolf King......"
"I despise the king who has never had a concubine. β
"I still have to guard this land, relying only on those ice wolves, I'm afraid ......"
"Even the concubines have never been fortunate to the king. β
"Don't do that...... Well, you say, what should I do?"
"I suggest you change your identity and live with them as a human for a while, you will understand them more deeply. β
"I'm not a slime, I can't change. β
The Sea Salt Slime smiled very strangely: "I know a few humans, they can help you change your body, as for retaining your original mind, I will help you." A month, just a month. If you don't think it's suitable, I'll give you a change. β
"You're a typical bully. β
"Oh, it's the same when you bully the little spider, isn't it? Maybe you'll like this kind of life β don't you want to use your human identity to fight for a safe and peaceful living environment for your people?"
Sallen paused for a moment and asked tentatively, "Let a nest of ants know that this cake belongs to another nest of ants, and not to an invisible and untouchable god?"
"Uh-huh. β
"Hmm...... So, how is the Spider Queen, the forerunner of her integration into human society, doing?"
"Oh, a bunch of humans are dying in fear for her. Now humanity is coming to an inflection point in history, everything is changing drastically, and if epic creatures can't seize this opportunity, it will be too late for the strength of humanity to fully crush everything. β
Sallen sighed, "Unless, our strength is increasing faster than that of humans - how is that possible?"
"yes, that's not fair. Nature has generously gifted us unparalleled strength, but cruelly sealed us with a cover, and human beings are as humble as ants, but they have infinite opportunities for transformation and improvement. So, do you want to give it a try?"
"Listen to your arrangement. β
"I hate it, it's like someone forced you. β
β...... When you become a human, you will become like this?"
"It's called charm. Now there's an opportunity for someone to offer you a reward for your head, how about you kill yourself?"
"Huh?"
