Riding alone, Daddy Ian left town on his lean horse. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info saw Allen on the wall, and waved his hand, and then gradually became a black spot in the distance. Eren returns to a house in the town, where the mayor has arranged for him to rest. Walking into the hall on the first floor, Regis was wiping his sword, Adele was sitting by the window flipping through a book of poetry, and Lucy and Father Mirรณ were playing chess. After saying hello to the crowd, Alan returned to his room.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door, and it was Edward entering. As he closed the door, he casually said, "I have settled his salary with the guide, paid him twice the price, and reminded him not to leak the matter of Aisha in Tallinn." โ
Alan let out an "um" sound, looked out the window and said, "I want to borrow your Tallinn gems." โ
"No problem." Edward narrowed his eyes and said, "You want to make some trouble for the Marquis of Peel?" โ
"Do you think it's possible?"
"Of course, you can also borrow the power of that marquis to help us clear out the remaining cavemen, if he has that power." Edward walked to the door and tapped his fingers on it. It wasn't long before a Darkblade warrior appeared, Edward whispered a few words in his ear, and the warrior nodded away. Edward returned to his room: "That's done, cavemen don't march during the day, so we should be able to catch up." โ
"Very well, then I have one more thing to ask you."
Edward's pupils quietly turned an icy blue, which made him look very indifferent, and he said indifferently: "No need to ask, I originally wanted to tell you today." Yes, when I was at Aisha Tallinn, I deliberately exposed the Tallinn gems to the eyes of the icy wind. โ
"This is reasonable, otherwise with your prudence, how can you mix a corpse." Allen's tone was cold: "So, you're not going to explain?" โ
"What explanation would you like to hear?" Edward didn't avoid Alan's gaze, and his tone was calm and almost indifferent: "In the complex environment of Aisha in Tallinn, it is very difficult to take out the ice wind. I don't think there's anything wrong with using the Tallinn gem to lure it out of the ground. โ
"Yes, but let me know before you are okay."
"You also know that the reptile is no ordinary beast, it has intelligence, and it is not low. First, I didn't have time at the time, and second, if I told you, I was afraid that you would reveal a flaw for Ice Wind to see. As it turned out, Ice Wind did take the bait, and we solved one of the biggest hidden dangers in that dungeon. โ
"Then do you know, in order to kill the ice wind. How many people we have sacrificed, and how many people have been sacrificed in this town. If you had told me in advance, at least I could have been prepared and not so many people would have died! Alan said in a deep voice.
The atmosphere in the room was solemn, and Edward lowered his gaze: "On this point, I admit that there are indeed some mistakes. First, I didn't think that the Ice Wind would drive the cavemen out of the dungeon; Second, I didn't expect you to stay for a nameless town. Both of these mistakes could have been remedied, and in the case of cavemen, I had planned to travel overnight and lead them to the territory of the Marquis of Peel, so that we could also use the Marquis's army to deal with the Ice Wind, and you would not have to risk it yourself. If we do, there will be no second mistake, and we won't sacrifice half of our soldiers. โ
"What about Dragonlance?"
"That's what I can't understand. This town is just a chance encounter, and the people in the town are not your people. It seems to me that you don't have to risk them at all, and they are not your responsibility, Lord Allen. We lure the cavemen away, and whether the town escaped or was captured by the cavemen. Honestly, it didn't affect my plans at all, but you ......"
Suddenly, Alan punched Edward, and Edward's eyes changed slightly. Then it was smashed squarely, and the whole person flew out and hit the wall, and bounced off again. He lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, blood coming out of his nostrils and mouth. Alan asked coldly, "Why don't you dodge?" โ
Edward stood up as if nothing happened, wiped his blood, and said, "If this makes you more comfortable, a punch is not a big deal." โ
"So that's what scares me about you! Edward, although we are of different races, I believe that all kinds of living beings have emotions. Even if it is the inhabitants of the Chaos Star Field, they have it, but their emotions tend to be evil. But you, you're as calm as a machine at all times. That's right, Dragonlance Town is not my territory, and the people here are not my people, and I have no obligation to protect them. But when their calamity is caused by us, don't you feel a little guilty? Alan said loudly.
Edward looked at him calmly: "Guilt, self-blame, such negative emotions will only affect my judgment. My job is to support you, to be the brains of the whole team. What I need to do is to get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost. It's the measure by which I make all my decisions, and you're not calm right now, and nothing will come of it if you talk about it any longer. I suggest you calm down and we'll talk about it later. My lord, impulsiveness doesn't make things better, it only makes them better. The important thing is that we can't afford to lose, so I have to be very careful every step of the way. โ
Seeing that he was leaving, Alan sighed, "Edward, I admit that you are right about many things. But you have to remember that you are not a machine, you also have life and soul. There are some things that we can't judge purely by interests, otherwise, such a life is meaningless at all. โ
"I remember, when I make decisions in the future, I will make corrections based on your emotional needs."
He left, and Alan smiled wryly, the guy had misinterpreted him at all. Lucy pushed the door open and blinked, "It seems that your conversation was unpleasant. โ
Alan raised his forehead and said, "That guy Edward doesn't know what he has been through before, I don't believe he was born so cold." โ
"He's really smart and he's calm. But you have to be careful, he is a double-edged sword, if you don't handle it well, I'm afraid you'll cut yourself. Lucy said, holding Alan's face.
"He's important to us, and maybe I should try to understand his past."
Night fell again.
Two yellow lights lit up, and a black figure in the shape of a man crawled out of the cave. The night wind ripped a few sparse yellow hairs on its head, and it crouched on the rocks and looked around. Then he saw a gopher passing through the cracks in the stones, and his eyes lit up, and he jumped over with agility and pounced on the gopher. The gopher struggled desperately, but gave it both hands to its mouth. A mouth without lips is open, and it bites down on the gopher's head with its fangs, and then gnaws with relish.
While eating the gopher, its head turned from side to side, its eyes casually scanning its surroundings, and suddenly something flickered in the night. The familiar faint blue light shook its whole body, and it didn't even bother to eat the gopher. It tossed it away, and then sped away with its hands and feet towards the flickering point of light. More and more troglodytes crawled out of that cave, whose lives were reversed day and night, and whose routines were no different from those of bats. Sleep during the day and act at night. It is still two or three days away from the entrance of the Great Tunnel, so every minute of the night must not be wasted, they must rush in the darkness of the night to find a place to hide and rest before sunrise. Otherwise, the sunlight on the surface will make them blind, although the eyes do not do as much to them as the nose.
Several troglodytes began to fight over the rat corpse discarded by their companions, until a caveman covered in totemic motifs and wearing a necklace strung with Tallinn gems jumped up to them, punching and kicking them apart. That was the leader of the cavemen, with a high status, and ordinary cavemen did not dare to resist at all, so they could only let them beat him. There was a roar of joy in the distance, and the caveman ran back, holding a crystal fragment in both hands and presenting it to the leader.
The caveman leader took it and screamed. He compared the irregular fragment with the necklace around his neck and found that there was no essential difference between the two. It was clearly a fragment of a Tallinn gem, and the leader caught the caveman with a scream and kicked it. The caveman pointed in the direction in which the gem shards had been found, and led the leader over.
It wasn't long before they spotted a similar flash in the northeast direction, which was several kilometers apart but was unusually noticeable in the night. The leader of the cavemen let out a long howl, and the kind that came out of hiding understood the meaning of the whistle. The remnants of the cavemen began to change direction, and they could not allow any Tallinn gems to remain on the surface, which would make them worse than dead.
Under the darkness of the night, a dark tide is quietly moving.
The city of flames is bathed in the tranquil moonlight.
The city takes its name from the family coat of arms of the Marquis of Peel, a flame that rises with great heat. In order to make the city more worthy of its name, the Marquis of Peel filled the entire wall with braziers, and made it a rule that all braziers should be lit at nightfall, so that the city would look like it was lit up.
In this way, the soldiers of the night vigil were tired. The gods are above, and everyone knows that running around the guard wall of Flame Light City will break their legs, after all, this city is not small, and the guard wall is naturally very long. The soldiers who were in charge of lighting the brazier tonight were sitting behind a stack of arrows, and their commander was not on the wall anyway, but was messing around with some woman in his office.
"Let's make a bet, I said that sooner or later, Chief Darren will have to die in the belly of that woman from Rovi." A soldier with a speckled face said, "Once I happened to pass by the chief's office, you don't know how loud Luo Wei screamed, but you can imagine how much our commander had to spend on her. โ
"You're not passing by, you're going to peep." Another yellow-haired soldier laughed: "But then again, Luo Wei's woman is as big as a cow and has long legs. If I could her, I'd die. โ
"Come on, then Lord Darren will cut off your eggs so that he can feed his hounds."
Several soldiers burst into laughter, and one soldier was lying on the city wall and laughing profusely. Laughing and smiling, he quieted down, and pointed to a hillside outside the city: "Look over there, what is that?" โ
Then a few heads poked out from behind the wall, and the soldiers saw that something on the hillside was emitting a faint blue light.
