Chapter 800, Wealth Touches the Heart
(Burst warm-up, I think the recent chapters are good.) But the response doesn't seem to be good. )
"There is only greed against greed."
"If you want ordinary people to fight against the demon's army, in addition to explaining the harm caused by the demon, you must also let ordinary people know the Tao and what benefits killing the demon can bring to them."
Saigo Takamori sat on the side and said calmly after Kido Takayoshi made a judgment, his face looked cloudy under the light of the oil lamp, and his thick eyebrows made him feel a sense of viciousness without anger and self-authority. If Takayoshi Kido is a person who is easier to communicate and coordinate, then Takamori Saigo is more of a person who is good at making inferences and decisions.
Saigo Takamori didn't say it very loudly, but it sounded like it couldn't be refused. When he finished saying this, he was quiet for a moment, as if waiting for Xiao Yan and them to reminisce before looking up at Xiao Yan. At the same time, he was also looking at Kido Xiaoyun and asked in a low voice: "So, Xiao Jun, please tell me, what benefits do you think killing demons can bring to ordinary people?" ”
Without waiting for Xiao Yan to answer, Saigo Takamori continued: "In addition, Xiao Jun, please think for yourself, what benefits you can bring to you by killing the demon. ”
Before that, he originally wanted to say that it was already in the greatest interest of mankind to keep human beings from being attacked by demons and to prevent disasters from coming. However, Saigo Takamori saw the same profoundly, yes, Xiao Yan was of course very difficult and even dangerous to kill demons. But Xiao Yan can also get rich rewards through such things. Gene points, skill points, gold points. These are completely incomprehensible things to the average person. For Xiao Yan, it is not another kind of wealth.
If there is no attraction for these. Will Xiao Yan enter the Realm of Trials? It's hard to answer in the affirmative or negative right now, but to say the least, the attraction of the Trials World Realm to Xiao Yan has greatly decreased.
Yes, Xiao Yan's starting point is also to get more benefits. In other words, he is not much nobler than the world in terms of greed. It doesn't mean that just because the gene point is not the money of the secular world, it doesn't mean how tall Xiao Yan is.
Since everyone's starting point is essentially no different. Considering first of all the selfishness and greed of secular human beings, this position is actually outrageous. Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat gradually oozed from Xiao Yan's body.
As a teenager, he still has enough enthusiasm, and he also thinks he is noble enough. However, fortunately, there was a timely reminder from Saigo Takamori today, which made him realize that his dedication did not prove that he was qualified enough to criticize the world.
"The benefits I get are completely different from those of the world. Or rather. There is no common interest between me and the world. So I'm sorry, I don't know what benefits killing demons can bring to ordinary people. ”
Xiao Yan said very sincerely. Then he looked at Saigo Takamori and said, "If you have any requests, you can ask them." ”
Kido Takayoshi said on the side: "It's good that you and we don't have common interests, at least there will be no conflict of interest between us." So, let's think about it now, what can make more people come together with us and not be controlled by the devil against us in turn. ”
After a moment of silence, Saigo Takamori raised his head and asked Xiao Yan, "Have you already decided?" Is that one? ”
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?" ”
"Demon, are you sure where the demon is?"
Xiao Yan was quiet for a while and replied, "I can't be completely sure, the information we have is not comprehensive at the moment, so I can't get an answer now." But I think we'll have a definite answer after tonight. ”
Saigo Takamori rubbed his chin slightly, and said in a low voice: "This is really troublesome, we don't know what the Demon of the Devil has, if we just think about ourselves, it is very likely that we will be used by the demon instead." There are many examples in ancient and modern times, all of which are when they are most likely to succeed, and fail in inconspicuous places. Wealth, the advantage I can imagine now, maybe only wealth. ”
The room fell silent again, no wealth was not enough to attract more people, but wealth alone was not enough. Although it is not clear who the target is, there should be no shortage of wealth for the demon. Therefore, if he wants to gain the upper hand in the demon's game, Xiao Yan still needs more resources.
"Then, Xiao Jun will rest first, and let's go back and think about the situation. If Xiao Jun can really determine that demon tomorrow, we can still have a little time to think about it again. ”
Kido Takayo said so, and then stood up, Saigo Takamori beside him also wanted to stand up, but some of the fat body made it a little difficult for him to get up. After Scarlet Village Maran stretched out his hand to help Saigo Takamori up, the big man who was not angry and arrogant touched his hair bun and whispered: "I'm old, just for a little time, my legs will be numb, this is really troublesome." ”
Xiao Yan looked at the two of them, and suddenly had some thoughts in his mind, but he was still immature. Waiting for the two to leave the room, the Young Awakened said to Scarlet Village Mayan, who was standing aside, "Protect them and don't think about us." The demon is powerful, but it is also timid. Until we have fully judged our reality and falsehood, the demon will not make any further moves. But those two figures, from today onwards, could be very dangerous. ”
Scarlet Village's face changed slightly, and she lowered her head and said, "I hope to be able to fight the demon with you." This is the master's entrustment to me, killing those extraterritorial heavenly demons is a responsibility that we must bear from birth until we die. ”
Xiao Yan whispered: "Protecting them is also a battle against demons, and this kind of battle requires more courage and wisdom than facing demons, and if you want to win the final victory in the battle of demons, their protection is indispensable." ”
Scarlet Village Maran was quiet for a while, stopped talking, and turned to leave.
When the kimono girl also left, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the hurried hugging Hannibal and asked, "How is it?" ”
Hurriedly smiled slightly and said, "The normal reaction, you guessed it right, does have the same taste." ”
Hannibal, who had been languishing, suddenly raised his head and licked Xiao Yan's fingers, looking much better than just now. Or, I had such a good spirit from just now, but I was hurriedly held in my arms and didn't show it.
As a descendant of the master of the world, Hannibal's physique is not comparable to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan gently flicked the fat dog's head and whispered, "Okay, okay, now I'm waiting for the final result." ”
As Xiao Yan said, although this team was seriously injured in the battle with those monsters at the tomb of Emperor Xiaoming, the monsters were not necessarily much better. Although they were able to leave, their injuries were only worse than those of Xiao Yan, not less severe. The problem is that Xiao Yan has enough equipment to recover his injuries, and those youkai don't necessarily have such equipment, and it may take longer for them to recover.
Therefore, no matter what the demon is, there are not many guards around it who really retain great strength. Without completely determining the depth of Xiao Yan's strength, and at the same time not being sure how many Awakened and how many Guardians had arrived in Fusang, the demon would definitely not completely open the most sloppy hole card in his hand. Its painstaking management and concealment make it more difficult to find, but it also shows how fearful it is of humans.
Xiao Yan is very aware of this fear, when a demon loses the courage to face reality, it is actually no different from a human who has lost his courage. Being strong doesn't reassure the demon, and when it realizes that danger is coming and things are out of control, the first thing it does is not jump out of the fight. It's about finding a place to hide yourself deeper and deeper.
When he thought of this, Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and he had no dreams all night, and there was no disturbance. This allows him to sleep very high quality and at the same time is great for recovering his body. More important than this, Xiao Yan is more sober than before. After a short freshening up, today's guests have arrived at the door.
Unlike the two people yesterday, today there is another middle-aged man who is not tall, with a beard that is rare in Fuso people, and his hair is not braided in a bun like a samurai, but cut very short, looking very energetic. After seeing Xiao Yan, the middle-aged man nodded a little arrogantly, and sat aside alone without introducing himself.
Xiao Yan glanced at the other party and confirmed that the new middle-aged man was not kneeling, but sitting on the futon, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
A Kido Takayo who wears a decent suit but kneels according to Fuso etiquette, and a Saigo Takamori who is completely Fuso's native characteristics, it seems that neither of these two is as Westernized as the newcomer to the middle-aged man.
"This is Mr. Ritsu Okubo, who is also from the Satsuma Domain, and is a fellow villager with Yoshinosuke."
Kido Takayoshi introduced this, but this introduction was quickly interrupted by Okubo Ritsu, and the bearded middle-aged man said firmly: "No, we are all members of Fuso, and there is no benefit in distinguishing who is the Satsuma domain and who is the Choshu domain." Katsura Kogoro, remember, don't base your nostalgia on the supremacy of the national interest. ”
Xiao Yan looked at this "iron-blooded minister" who was finally assassinated in normal history, and then turned his head to look at Kido Xiaoyun, who seemed to be better communicative, and asked, "It seems that last night was not very peaceful?" ”
Kido Takayo turned his head to look at Scarlet Village Mayan, who was wearing bandages and half of his body was a little shrunken, and nodded and said, "Yes, it's very uncalm." But in this way, we got the answers we wanted. ”
Xiao Yan smiled slightly, took a bottle of light healing potion from Calisto, and threw it to Scarlet Village Zhenlan. Then, the Young Awakened Man turned his head to look at the three big men and said, "So, let's talk openly and honestly." (To be continued......)
