Chapter Seventy-Four: Parting Ways

Rahbin said: "There are two problems, one is that we must leave enough men to deter the bandits from catching fire in the backyard, and the other is to reconnoitre, the old nest of the giant antlion is in the abandoned city of Mugadishu, a hundred kilometers northwest of the city of Baouda, where no one has dared to approach for fifty or sixty years. ”

Duck said: "I have already arranged this, the personnel on the alloy flying carpet must all be members of the Alibaba League to ensure the efficiency of the attack, and the rest of the team members are responsible for the security of the Ice Throne." Reconnaissance work, our light flying carpet has gone to investigate, and it is estimated that there will be news soon. ”

As soon as Dark's voice fell, Sanjido came to report: "Boss Duck, there is news from the scout!"

Everyone hurried to the front of the communication circle, and in the lit blue light, the scout's excited and excited faces appeared.

"Boss Dark, Boss Sahil, Captain Sanguido, we saw it, we saw it!"

Darker was calmer: "How are you doing?"

"We're over the city of Mugadishu, and there's a dense nest of giant antlions below. ”

"I mean you're safe!"

"It's safe! We've been circling for more than twenty minutes, we've set up six Kara Eyes, and we've not been attacked! No flying bugs have been found. ”

"Good, image!"

The scout sent back an image, and on the blue light curtain, the earth turned into a flat beehive, densely packed with finger-sized holes, giving people goosebumps at a glance.

The largest one, the size of a fist.

Rahbin said, "That must be the Antlion Queen's lair." Can you make the image a little clearer?"

The image was enlarged, and Rahbinch said: "How did you achieve such a good observation effect?"

Duck smiled: "It's still a floating energy harvester composed of pumice slimes, shrinking its size, and with the True Vision Circle, it can become a Vision of God hanging above the enemy's head." As long as the sky is still in our hands, it can be rearranged at any time. ”

Rahbin and Sahir praised each other.

Duck was full of ambition: "Look, we have nothing to lose, and we can easily break the enemy's disguise, this is the technical advantage!"

Rahbin looked at it carefully for a while, then frowned, "There are many newly drilled holes around, and the antlions hatch so much, where do they go to find food?" Boss Dark, I think you're the right one. ”

Duck asked, "What makes them hatch more?"

Rahbin and Sahir shook their heads together: "I don't know. ”

"Well, it doesn't matter, the point is, they're hatching in large numbers in an attempt to encroach on our living space, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Then there's not much to say. Get ready to get your hands dirty. Sahil, you arrange for personnel to test the new equipment. Three days later, we started to get rid of the worms!"

"Yes!"

A herald suddenly came running: "Boss Dark, big sister is looking for it!

Duck was a little strange: "I'll go right away." ”

Darker walked straight into the Ice Throne, Letifa looked around at no one, and hurriedly said, "Hassan, the elders of the Inspiration Sect are waiting online, it's in a hurry!"

Duck was taken aback, and then laughed secretly: This must be George pretending to be a ghost, who else can play the communication tower?

Sure enough, as soon as the communication was connected, George's lazy face popped up: "Hassan, I heard that you just escaped death?"

"yes, I didn't expect a bunch of bugs to cause such a big problem, careless, there won't be a second time in the future!

"Oh, there's a plan?"

"I've built a heavy alloy flying carpet to teach the bugs a good lesson. Take a look at my blueprints. With that, Duck began to transfer the design data.

George's side decisively refused to accept it. Darker was stunned: "What?"

"Hassan, we haven't been in touch for a long time, and I think we're going to have a good talk. ”

"I'm sorry, Elder George, I can't wait for the wine of vengeance, and I'll catch up on the old days when I've killed the bugs. ”

"No, right now, me and you, alone, two people. ”

Letifa nodded decisively and left the Ice Throne.

Now, Duck and George are talking to each other alone. To be on the safe side, the two started a team chat.

"Duck, why were you ambushed by bugs?"

"I don't understand. I'm not a god of Kara, how do I know that insects have the ability to do this?"

"Do you understand now?"

"Part of it. ”

"That's what I don't know, Dark, I always say......"

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Knowing myself but not knowing the other, winning and losing - at least I know myself. In this way, in the case of occupying absolute technical superiority, there should always be a seven-three victory, right?"

"You're going to be defeated. ”

Dark's heart was unhappy: "Why?"

"You don't even know yourself. Dark, is the role of alchemy just to create advanced weapons and equipment, and then to conquer and expand, and destroy all aliens?"

Dark's words were tinged with mockery: "Ahhhh ”

"I believe that your technical advantage is greater than that of bugs, but you are too confident!"

"If we all have technological advantages, why are we not confident! Once human beings master advanced technology, they can change the whole world!"

"Yes, but there is a premise for that! Man knows himself, what he can and cannot do, and he knows the world, what the world can be changed and what it should be!

"Since you have the technology, it's not a brute force!"

George took a deep breath, as if suppressing his anger: "Dark, you have now entered the horns of technocracy, and it seems that you will not wake up until you experience a fiasco." You must have devised a plan of revenge or an extermination plan for the antlion, and I tell you, solemnly, that your starting point is wrong! What is our goal, what are you doing now! You have the wrong way of thinking, you are too contemptuous of those crustaceans who have been around longer than humans and know more about nature than humans! You have the wrong attitude, and you should not hastily formulate a crazy offensive plan with anger that can destroy the overall situation!"

Duck said angrily, "So, I'm going to continue to wag my tail and beg for mercy from you?"

George was shocked: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean, it's not interesting! You said so much, just pretending to be a sage to tell me, you are still too young, you are still too bad, obediently follow me, be one of my pawns!"

George was speechless in shock.

For the first time after being together for so long, Duck succeeded in making George speechless, which made him experience an indescribable pleasure, he felt that his brain was numb, he couldn't think, and he said what he wanted to say: "Who do you think I am? Are you slaves? I am a human being, an independent person, I have my own thinking, my own way of doing things, so why not? Why can't you? Why can you control everything, but I can't?"

George was silent for a moment, smiled sadly, but said nothing.

Duck pointed to the Pillar of Hydra behind him and said, "Thank you, yes, I want to thank you for setting me on a different path in life, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart." But from today onwards, I think I can let go of your hand and go down this path on my own! I have my own way of doing things!"

George shook his head slowly, "From the moment you were able to manipulate the Pillar of Hydra, I thought you were already a good alchemist, but I was wrong. You're far from qualified. Do you think that the only thing that an alchemist is powerful is his skills? Broad vision, tolerant attitude, peaceful attitude, courage and determination to pursue the truth to the death, what do you have?"

"You weren't born wearing an eighth-level badge, did you?"

"Dark, a reckless man, even if he wields a sword indiscriminately, he can't kill a few people, but a king wielding the seal indiscriminately will kill thousands of people, you have to think carefully!"

"I've thought about it. Since I have been walking alone for so long, and I have accidentally become a living national hero of the Arab, I think, be careful, no problem. If you take 10,000 steps back or 100,000 steps, even if you can't do it, with such technology, you can't make a comeback!"

"I see. Ambition. ”

"No, it's ambition. So be it, George, let's see whether it is the wandering of the past that saves the world from ignorance and fanaticism, or whether it is decisive and bold action. Goodbye, my friend. After speaking, he added, "Please tell Isabella that when I succeed, I will go back to her." With that, he cut off the communication.

Looking at the pitch-black communication circle, George smiled: "Friend, goodbye." ”

Then, he turned around and let out a helpless sigh.

On the other side of the communication circle, Duck turned around, didn't move for a long time, and suddenly slapped himself in the mouth.

What am I talking about?

I knew that this day would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly and in such a way!

I'm sorry, George, but I'm capable and I want to go my own way!
