Chapter 8: An Open Door (I)
A long white carpet has been covered on the straight cement road, which is so crystal clear and pure, that people can't bear to step on it. The two pine trees next to the flower pond are covered with snowballs of white velvet. The breeze blew, and the branches trembled.
Many people who have never been to the north will think that the snow scene is a pleasing sight, of course, the premise is to be able to enjoy it in a warm room, if you walk on the street, by the north wind into the clothes, it is estimated that there is no mood to enjoy the snow scene, I wish this damn weather was over sooner.
Wrapped in silver, the earth crystallizes.
Lucy came to this place for the first time, full of curiosity and appreciation for everything here, of course, Lin Xiu is not in this mood, he has lived in this city for more than 20 years since he was a child, even if it is in the beautiful scenery, I am afraid that it will be boring.
Therefore, the driver has already changed positions.
Now Lin Xiu is driving, and Lucy is sitting in the co-pilot seat looking at the scenery outside.
It's late at night, and if you want to find a place to talk, the bar is naturally not a good choice, although it is a festival, but large and small restaurants are impossible to open at this time, fortunately, there is also a "porridge emperor" restaurant.
This family is very good at business, usually drinking until late at night, usually the stomach is not very comfortable, after vomiting, it is inevitable that they will want to eat some porridge to satisfy their hunger, Lin Xiu and Lucy also came here.
Lucy had already changed into clothes that matched the northern weather, although she was not afraid of the cold, but it was better to hide the identity of the traveler as much as possible, if she wore the costume of the vampire queen. Belch. I'm afraid that the waiter didn't dare to let them in.
this time. There were not many guests in the room, Lucy found a place by the window, and a magic barrier was cast, this barrier had no color, if it weren't for Lin Xiu's careful observation, it would be difficult to even find Lucy's small movements.
"It's better not to let others hear the content of the conversation."
Lucy explained like this, Lin Xiu naturally agreed with this, after all, they could not be completely regarded as people in this world.
Simply asked for some food, and Lucy's appearance had the charm of a Westerner. At the same time, it does not lose the delicacy of the Oriental, and it is difficult not to think of a mixed-race child.
seems to be very satisfied with the food and the place Lin Xiu ordered, before the topic started, Lucy had a delicious enjoyment, to be able to come to the next level, there is not much time for her, to feel the difference in this world as much as possible, and occasionally it is also a kind of enjoyment.
"There are a lot of questions, which one to talk about first?"
Lucy finally stopped, and the corners of her mouth were touched by the elegant meal.
"Hmm. Naturally, I want to thank Sister Lucy for her help, but. As Sister Lucy said, you also just know Tifa's identity, so there must be other reasons for being willing to come to the rescue. ”
Lin Xiu naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to believe that Lucy was just pulling out a knife to help when he saw injustice, and there would indeed be good people in the apostle space, but if he could go to the position of the top six emperors and become the president of a major guild, he would offend another big guild because of an inadvertent help, it would be a big joke.
The only thing that can be explained is that Lin Xiu's role in Lucy is more than that of the Luo Dynasty, and even the entire Hunter Guild, and only this reason is the possibility of Lucy making a move.
"Naturally not, I would never consider myself a good person."
Lucy looked at Lin Xiu appreciatively, and still admired his reflexes, especially in sacrificing himself for his teammates and his contractor, which was in line with Lucy's observation.
If Lin Xiu was a cold-blooded and ruthless traveler who did not spare the people around him, then Lucy's move might not be so decisive, and the way of talking would be changed to a more direct way, closer to a conversation with a transaction.
But now Lucy doesn't feel the need to do this, although it's just a one-sided relationship, but it is not difficult for her to judge the other party's character from the other party's actions.
What kind of people to deal with and what methods to deal with, at this point, she can become the leader of the Six Emperors and a major guild, she naturally has her own merits.
"Seven games can grow to this extent, I have to say, you have created a myth, and you dare to take the killing order, well, I have a good impression of you."
Lucy said this, but Lin Xiu was not stupid enough to think that the good feelings that the other party said would have anything to do with the relationship between men and women, the other party's eyes were very clear when he looked at him, and he occasionally had a hint of appreciation.
However, this is definitely not an appreciation placed on equal strength.
"Sister Lucy knows me well."
Lin Xiu smiled self-deprecatingly, in front of the six emperors of the upper rank, he would not have any sense of pride, maybe his current strength could have a place in the lower rank, but if compared with these powerhouses in the upper rank, the Luo Dynasty just now had already taught him the best lesson with his actions.
Lucy didn't continue the conversation, and took a sip of tea, which she didn't know how to taste yet, but she liked the somewhat astringent taste.
"How sure are you about the next game?"
Lucy suddenly spoke, pulling the topic directly to the topic, and looking at Lin Xiu's eyes, she also became fierce in vain.
Under such a look, it may be difficult for ordinary people to maintain a confrontation, but fortunately, Lin Xiu also has a good impression of her help just now, and she will not be afraid much.
"To be honest, don't hide it from Sister Lucy, no more than ten percent."
Lin Xiu thought for a while, and said with a wry smile, this is the truth, in the face of seven of the same Eight Jue, it is impossible for him to be partners with the other party, and there are five hundred teams, many of which are ranked in front of them.
"Well, I don't see any nervousness on your part, and you still have hole cards."
Lin Xiu's expression was relaxed, walking in the apostle space for a long time would indeed make people's nerves easily numb and look down on life and death, but if it was said that before such a big battle came, there would be no tension at all. That's impossible.
And Lin Xiu's existence is even more embarrassing. There are more than just quest strategies. There are other teams chasing and killing, and even the missions that are completely deviated from, and from this point on, if he didn't have a backhand, it is impossible for him not to have even a little worry in his eyes.
Even if it's not for himself, it's for his companions, and in this regard, he just gave his life twice to save others. Lucy can tell.
"Well, don't hide it from Sister Lucy, I have a liability waiver card in my hand."
In this case, if you are a person, it is impossible to say, no matter what the relationship is, as long as it is not a team, then you must leave a hand to defend yourself, and the value of this card is enough to tear your face and fight to snatch the existence.
Even if it's Lucy on the other side. There was a slight stunnedness, but then he shook his head and chuckled. So it's no wonder.
It's not that Lin Xiu is stupid, and it's not because the other party just helped him that he sold all his family money to the other party.
But he can judge that since Lucy is willing to talk to him and not hesitate to offend another big guild, then obviously his value is definitely not as simple as a disclaimer card, and if you want others to tell the truth, you must first have a certain degree of honesty, otherwise, it will only make the other party feel bad.
"You're pretty honest with me, but I don't think you're going to use this card."
Sure enough, after Lucy listened to Lin Xiu's words, she appreciated him a little more, this kind of thing, if it is not based on trust, it is absolutely impossible to tell others, and the exemption card, even if it is a high-ranking item, is definitely a rare item.
But fortunately, Lucy's purpose is not on this, although the waiver card is tempting, she has not done anything to rob by force, but obviously, she doesn't need this kind of thing now, and Lin Xiu's value is far from being so much.
It's just that Lucy's next words made Lin Xiu's brows frown a little, Lucy obviously had something to say, since she could conclude that she wouldn't use the exemption card, then she must have known the reason, otherwise she wouldn't be so still.
"Before I came, I thought about several possibilities."
Lucy said this, Lin Xiu knew that her words were definitely not finished, so she was not in a hurry, and her heart couldn't help beating faster, after all, Lucy's words might be a subversive perception of his next game.
"The first one, I've thought about letting you enter the Lianmeng Guild, so that I can naturally help you get out of this battle through some ways in this game, but now that I think about it, you will definitely refuse."
Lucy didn't explain the reason, but made a kind of recognition of Lin Xiu's strength on the side, those who can enter the six major guilds, the natural strength must also be the first condition to join the guild, and other aspects can be reconciled, but the strength cannot be faked.
Lin Xiu also thought about this, and even thought about taking the initiative to talk to Lucy about it, having the protection of a grand guild is not an extra protection for the lives of his teammates, and his character is indeed not suitable for being a captain.
Erasing their badges is an unspeakable shame for many teams, which is equivalent to entrusting their lives to others, and the members of the battle scythe may not agree, but as their captain, Lin Xiu will naturally have more concerns, and the most important thing is to hope that they can live.
But after listening to Lucy's words, Lin Xiu felt that things were probably far from being as simple as he thought.
"The exemption card you just mentioned is naturally a way to save your life, and if you get out of this battle, it's not like there is no other way to enter the upper rank, but I think you won't use this card either."
This is what Lucy just said, and it is also what makes Lin Xiu full of doubts.
"Of course, I can't guarantee that you won't use points to choose the possibility of resurrection in the lower rank, if you want to have such thoughts, then what I say will become nonsense."
Lucy smiled, but fortunately, Lin Xiu shook his head decisively, such a choice, at the end of the last battle, he had already asked his teammates, and he remembered Xiao Ai's words, don't choose to resurrect in the next rank, although he didn't tell him the reason, but Lin Xiu still chose to believe Xiao Ai.
"Then there is only one last way left, the rewards for winning this game will be very many, so many that you can't imagine, and it will also be of great help to your future growth, at least the six emperors of the upper rank have entered the upper rank in this way."
Lucy said that the reward for the apostle space is indeed able to make people fight for their lives. But Lin Xiu's greed is not strong. If it's just because of the reward, you have to gamble the lives of all your teammates and your own woman. It's not enough to get him to give up using the waiver card, although he will do his best, but when he can't do anything, he will still use the waiver card.
It seemed that Lucy had also guessed, and it was not difficult to see from Lin Xiu's expression that this was not enough to shake him, but Lucy's words were obviously not finished yet, and she nodded as if she had expected it.
"I've just made up my mind. After all, you have seen the people around you as more than your own life, so I would say that you will definitely give up using the waiver card, because the person who wins this game has a chance, which is the most frustrating for some people, but for you, it is the opposite. “
Lucy said. Lin Xiu seemed to have guessed something, and his breathing became a little short. The hand holding the spoon was trembling slightly, and everything naturally fell into Lucy's eyes, almost in line with her judgment.
"There is no such thing as resurrection in the apostle space, but that is only for the lower rank, the person who can obtain the title of the strongest king has the right to resurrect his teammates."
Lucy's words made it impossible for Lin Xiu to continue to be calm, if he hadn't been telling himself to be calm in his heart, I'm afraid he would have jumped up.
Indeed, if there were such conditions, then Lin Xiu would definitely not choose to use a liability exemption card, and that kind of reward was enough for him to gamble on everyone's lives.
Thinking of Lao Dao, Xiao Ling, Li Jun, Liu Wenjie and even the sister who died in the first game, it is indeed as Lucy said, if this article exists, then Lin Xiu will never give up.
After taking a few breaths of hard work, Lin Xiu calmed down, Lucy kept observing him, never spoke, Lin Xiu's performance was quite satisfactory to her, when she heard the news, wasn't she also shocked, if it weren't for Tina's death, she might have made other choices.
But fortunately, she eventually became the strongest king of the lower rank.
In the apostolic space, the teams that can really go to the end, don't everyone have a lot of bonds, and in their motivation to struggle, how can it not be because of this?
After getting to know Lin Xiu in general, Lucy had actually guessed what choice the other party would make when she heard this reward.
"Thank you, Sister Lucy, if it weren't for you, I think I'd probably live with regret for the rest of my life."
Lin Xiu's tone was sincere, indeed, regardless of Lucy's previous rescue, even such a piece of news was worth a thousand dollars.
"That's just one of them, now that you've made up your mind, it's time for us to talk about some deeper issues, but before that, I think it's time to talk about why I saved you, after all, I'm not a good person."
Lucy's face was solemn, obviously the real purpose was coming, Lin Xiu and her eyes met, and nodded decisively, no matter what point of view, he could not and would not refuse Lucy's proposal.
"There is only one thing I want, if you meet a member of the Lianmeng Guild, you have to do your best to save their lives, can you do it?"
When she said this, Lucy's eyes had locked Lin Xiu's body, but after touching Lin Xiu's calm eyes, she found that she was a little too nervous, and it was not difficult to analyze from the other party's work that he would definitely not open his mouth to refuse.
"I promise, as long as Lin Xiu has not died, I will never draw a knife against him, but if it is a killing order, Sister Lucy, I'm afraid"
This is the only hesitation of Lin Xiu, after all, because of the existence of the killing order, it is impossible for him to be compatible with any team, although he is also curious, why Lucy is sure that he will meet someone from the Lianmeng Guild, but this attitude is a must, otherwise it is really chilling.
"You don't have to worry about this, if you win the next game, then the existence of the kill order will naturally disappear, not to say, after reaching the upper rank, everything will start again, and this game, I have made my members of the lower rank avoid the battle."
Lucy's words didn't make Lin Xiu very clear, but since there was no last trace of concern, it was not so difficult to agree to this matter, but winning this game seemed to be an imperative thing.
Now that they have no last concerns, the two of them took off the team logo, which is a kind of guarantee of the alliance in the apostolic space, a kind of existence that can be convincing.
At this point, if there is an apostle to testify, it can't be faked, that is to say, Lin Xiu's promise is not established until this moment, although Lucy has a good impression of him and believes in his character, but if she bets on her brothers and sisters with just a few words, then she, the president, can step down.
"Okay, I guess you still have a lot of questions to ask me, I've been in the lower ranks for a long time, and I'm going to return at dawn, so ...... You have to hold on. ”
Now that the biggest problem has been negotiated, then no matter what doubts Lin Xiu has about this game, he can ask Lucy questions, after all, the purpose of the two has now been agreed, and it has to be said that this is equivalent to giving Lin Xiu many advantages to win in the last game.
But he also knew what he was going to face, as the apostle said, he had to face seven of the strongest eight senses at the same time, which was not a simple matter for anyone to see, but since the decision had been made, there was naturally no need to say anything else. (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you Brother Long for the reward, thank you for the honorary monthly ticket of the USSR.
The secrets of the upper rank have been revealed, have you thought of anything?
