Verse 195: It's nice to have you by your side
With a plop, Huang Zao suddenly knelt on the ground, hit the ground with his forehead, and took the initiative to beg for mercy: "Two adults! I was wrong, I committed an unforgivable sin! The villain will not resist, if he wants to kill or chop, it is all up to the two adults to deal with!"
Afterwards, Cyanoza also knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness from the stand-in.
The barberry beard also defended it.
Zi Di glanced at the two brothers kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but sneer: "This despicable and cowardly villain deceived Lord Needle Gold and concealed the fact of the existence of the Silver Demon Beast, just for his own selfishness. Then he fled from the battle, putting the noble bloodline in danger and taking revenge! This scholar, you advise us to be lenient with such people?"
On the surface, the girl's heart was full of joy.
The situation was even better than she expected, and she had thought that a battle would be needed to get them to surrender.
The blue-bearded brothers fought for leniency for the brothers cyanobacteria and xanthophylla, and the cyanobacteria and xanthophylla voluntarily became slaves.
"Your Excellency. Zidi looked at the needle, a subordinate posture waiting for the latter's decision, and was a little worried about the stand-in.
As a result, the stand-in said, "Don't overestimate people, and don't underestimate people." This sentence is the family motto of my Hundred Needles family. So, xanthophyllum and cyanobacteria, I would like to give you both a chance, and I hope that you will change my opinion of you with loyalty and practical action. ”
"The splendor of the temple envelops every inch of land. The banner of the Empire protects every citizen of the Empire. Follow me, and I will lead you out of here alive. ”
Zidi breathed a sigh of relief.
The stand-in is not arrogant, pays attention to practical profits, and is very aristocratic.
"Especially the last sentence, it's like a Templar......"
Everyone half-knelt on the ground, acknowledging the leadership of the stand-in.
"Despite being fake, the stand-in has the dual status of a Templar and a nobleman, and easily becomes a leader. It would have been impossible for me to do this in such a short period of time. Alas...... If I really want to do this, it will take far more time, energy and cost than a stand-in. Zidi sighed.
The team rested, and the stand-in summoned Cangsu alone.
"I wonder how good the stand-in is at leadership?"
"Based on intelligence and personal observation, the leadership of the needle Jin himself is worrying. ”
"No, I need to help him a little more. ”
Zidi couldn't sit idle, so she quickly made initial contact with each member. As a businessman, she is actually very sociable.
Soon, she restored the whole truth.
"This cangbeard is not simple!" Zidi reminded the stand-in when she was alone.
"Don't overestimate people, and don't underestimate people. The stand-in sighed, and then looked at Zidi, "Regarding the situation that I have a broken memory and can't use my fighting spirit, I need to keep it secret for the time being." ”
Zidi nodded again and again, her face slightly solemn: "I understand, my lord." ”
She was about to remind the stand-in about this.
She didn't want this secret to be exposed.
The appearance of the beard made Zidi vigilant.
This old scholar is definitely a smart person, and the reason and cleverness of the stand-in have already put Zidi under pressure, and if someone like Cangsu knows more, it will do Zidi no good.
"You arrange to call in the members of the exploration team in turn, and I'll talk to them alone in the tent. The stand-in finally instructed Zidi.
This action made the girl slightly stunned.
Subsequently, she asked for the promise of a stand-in from Bai Ya and the others-as long as she behaved well in the future, she might be able to follow him and join Baisha City in the future!
Purple Ty was a little impressed by the stand-in.
It seems that although he has lost all his memory, he still has some leadership ability. My previous worries were a little unnecessary. Is it because of who he is?"
Zidi begins to wonder about the original identity of the stand-in.
Because she knew that if it was needle gold, there was a high probability that she would not do it.
The attitude of the needle gold towards these civilians is quite arrogant, and he will not let go of his body, and everyone goes to meet and talk. He would probably have thought that these people were lucky to be able to follow him.
In the tent, the stand-in, Zidi, Cangsu and others began to discuss the next course of action.
The group combined the maps at hand, and the stand-in spoke: "We are here now, and our goal is to return here." ”
and the proposal of a large army, no one objected.
Zidi sighed in her heart, she still remembered the legacy of the war mongers in her heart. Before, there were only two people, her and the stand-in, but now that such a group of people have been subdued, Zidi has once again become ambitious about the inheritance.
Greybeard began to recount his speculations, and he uttered a startling conjecture that the monsters on this island were man-made.
The stand-in was surprised because it was the first time he had heard such a statement.
Zidi was also surprised, she looked at the old scholar in front of her, and became more wary of him: how did he know this secret?
Cang Xu slowly explained: "Since entering the island, I have dissected a lot of demonic beasts, and found that although they have their own stable circulation, and their organs and tissues cooperate closely, as if they were born like this, but when you really dig deeper, they are actually unnatural. ”
Zi Di's brows furrowed slightly, pondering Cang Xu's words: "Unnatural?"
Cangsu's next explanation made everyone gradually accept his conjecture.
Zidi breathed a sigh of relief, Cangsu didn't know, just speculated based on his vast knowledge.
"This old scholar has a very good set, not an ordinary aristocratic butler. Zidi commented in her heart.
Cyanobacteria couldn't help but ask, "So who can create so many magical beasts? Which big man in the empire is it? Is it a god? Only a god has the power to create things, right?"
Zidi's heart moved, and thanks to Cang Xu's speculation, everyone's understanding of Mystery Island deepened a lot.
Zidi won't take the initiative to explain, because it will arouse suspicion. Cangsu is an unexpected character!
"But at this point, can I go with the flow? I can completely point these people and influence them to find the alchemy factory. As long as you don't doubt me, any attempt should be worth it!"
So she said, "It's possible for a mage, too." As far as I know, a legendary-level mage can transform and operate a half-plane, isn't this the creation of a god that mimics it?"
Cangsu guessed again: "I think that the teleportation mechanism that seems to be abnormal in the landscape is probably one of the measures taken by the owner of this island to maintain the ecology of the island. ”
Zidi looked at Cang Xu and nodded to everyone again: "If these fierce beasts are also teleported, then maybe the owner of this island is to let them fight and select the strongest monsters." It's like the Alchemy Puppet Contest held by the Alchemy Guild, which wants to cultivate the strongest life weapon?"
Cang Xu smiled: "Lord Zidi's analysis is very reasonable, and there is indeed such a possibility. But I still insist that there is a greater possibility of maintaining the ecology......"
Cang Xu's words are reasonable, and Zidi also feels very reasonable.
"Perhaps, this teleportation mechanism has both intentions!"
The girl spoke again: "In this way, the reason why the owner of this island deliberately created jungles, mountain forests, deserts, snowy peaks and other landforms is also to restrain these created beasts, stabilize the ecology of the island, and maintain the balance of nature?
(If someone thinks of beast man, alchemy of life, they may be able to guess that the lord of the island is a war monger.) )
Acansu went on to say his guess: "The magic of chaos is extremely unstable, and sometimes it explodes...... In this environment, low-level magic and fighting qi are banned, which also protects these magical beasts, maintains their stability, and allows them to survive forever. ”
Zidi couldn't help but look at Cang Xu again.
She had already guessed this secret, but she didn't expect Cangsu, an outsider, to probe so deeply. And these are just the old scholars who have done this with the help of his own knowledge and wisdom.
Seeing that everyone had no intention of looking for the center, Zidi finally couldn't help but speak: "If Mr. Cangxu's guess is true, then whether it is this island or all kinds of demonic beasts, they are all transformed. Then there must be a hub on this island. You say, what if we find this hub?"
Cyanobacteria hurriedly said: "This is too dangerous, isn't it? We can't fight against the existence of so many demonic beasts that can transform the entire island and create so many magical beasts." It's a self-defeating one!"
Zidi smiled and shook her head slightly: "Actually, it's not." ”
"If you think about it, according to our previous analysis, there are probably two largest. ”
"The first possibility is that the owner of the island is out and not on the island. It's the perfect time for us to raid the hub. ”
"The second possibility is that the owner of the island has been there all along, but he hasn't intervened, watching us, playing with us, or not caring about us. However, if we succeed in escaping this island, He will certainly deal with us for the sake of secrecy. ”
"So, instead of this, it's better to go straight to the center. ”
"Once the hub is destroyed, we can stop teleportation and restore the environment on the island to normal. We were able to use magic and fighting spirit, and the beasts collapsed because of it. This is extremely beneficial for us to escape. ”
Spirulina is dumbfounded, thinking about it, it seems to be right!
Zi Di looked at the stand-in again, her eyes shining: "Lord Needle Gold, we are going to the Beast Continent to take charge of Baisha City." If we can get such magic technology, we can create silver-level and gold-level magical beasts in batches. Even if these beasts only last for a short time, they will explode on their own. How much benefit do you think this is for us?"
For a moment, the stand-in was thrilled.
"Your Excellency. Cangsu said slowly, "I don't agree with Lady Zidi's suggestion. ”
Cangsu said four aspects, logical and organized, and these words completely moved the stand-in.
The stand-in thought for a moment, then nodded: "The analysis is very good." The center is too ethereal, the risk is too great, and our strength is insufficient, so the first goal is to join up with the large army and create ships to escape from the island as soon as possible.
"Damn!" Zidi secretly clenched her fists, very unwilling.
"Could it be that the legacy of the war mongers is really going to be lost to me?"
"That's the legacy of an alchemy grandmaster!"
"When I get it, my life, my destiny will be turned upside down!"
Zidi was helpless, she had no way to tell the truth. If you make it clear at the slightest point, you may set yourself on fire and destroy yourself.
The decision had been decided, but everyone was in no hurry to set off.
Because the beard proposes to hunt the sheep and get a lot of food.
This proposal also made Zidi very much agreed, food is very important, and at the same time, the difficulty of this action is very low, and it is easy to deepen the prestige of the stand-in. Beautiful
However, things turned out unexpectedly.
Everyone was poisoned by eating mutton.
The group almost collapsed to the ground.
The symptoms of poisoning are like cold poison, but they are also plausible.
Vaguely, Zidi thought of something, but she couldn't really grasp the aura that flashed in her mind.
"I'm running out of time!"
In a hurry, Zidi hurriedly made a choice.
"My lord, red...... White mushroom bottle cap...... Zi Di pointed to the small leather bag around her waist with her stiff fingers.
Zidi barely opened her mouth, and the needle began to pour the red potion from the bottle.
At the entrance of the potion, Zidi's heart shook violently, and she grabbed the spiritual light.
"Wait! Perhaps, that is possible?"
It's too late.
The next moment, she rolled her eyes and passed out completely.
Fortunately, Cangsu reminded the stand-in before he fell unconscious, and the group hurried back to the place where the sheep were hunting.
Everyone recovered, but they also fell into a panic, and their morale plummeted.
The stand-in stood up to stabilize morale, and told everyone: "Things are far from being out of control, and don't forget, we also have Miss Zidi, who is not only a magician, but also a pharmacist with extraordinary skills." ”
Zidi had just drunk the potion, but she had fainted on the spot, and it seemed that she had forgotten about it.
However, there were many people who saw this scene at the beginning, and when they returned, people in the know spread the matter.
Can she really do it?
The stand-in vouched: "We didn't know the cause of the poisoning before, and it is normal for diagnosis and treatment to be wrong." The use of drugs has always been about the right medicine. Now that we know the root cause, it's a completely different matter! How can a mere flock of sheep trap our hands and feet? Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to lead you out of this island. It's too early to give up. ”
A wave of emotion surged out of Zidi's heart.
She made a mistake, and she didn't detect the toxin in the mutton. When it came time to detoxify, she also made a mistake.
But even in this case, the stand-in still trusts her.
It's really nice to feel trusted......
And the stand-in for stabilizing people's hearts and cleaning up the situation is like the rising sun just rising at dawn, the sun is not dazzling, but it brings hope.
It is like the flag fluttering in the wind at the top of the white castle under the blue sky, as long as you see such a flag, you will inevitably be attracted to it and guided by it.
This made Zidi feel reliable again: "His leadership skills are much stronger than pinheading. ”
Gathered in the tent, the high-ups were distressed by the poisoning.
Zidi had already caught the light in her mind, and she used the potion to conduct an experiment on the spot, refining many small particles.
She examined the small particles closely, her eyes lit up, "Guys, I think I've found the real reason. ”
Poisoning is only superficial, the real reason is that the goat meat has the magic of frost lurking. The latter is very restrained at low temperatures, and everyone eats mutton, which suffers from the erosion of this magic.
Blessings and misfortunes go hand in hand, and this goat meat is a highly valuable commodity.
The purple-eyed girl looked at the stand-in with blazing eyes: "Lord Needle Gold, if we develop and master this business, this will undoubtedly be of great help to you." Whether you're competing for the Lord of White Sands or becoming the Lord of White Sands, you'll need a lot of money. And this business is like putting wings in your back! It may even bring us the support of the top nobles!"
Zidi sighed to herself: "This is only a very small part of the heritage of the war torels, and its value is already so high. It's really hard to imagine what a huge benefit a complete inheritance is!"
Although the cause has been found, it is up to Zidi herself to really solve this problem.
Others, including stand-ins and beards, couldn't help.
Zidi locks herself in a tent and faces this challenge alone.
"Zidi, you can do it, come on!" the purple-eyed girl took a deep breath and began to try.
After repeated failed attempts, Zidi soon sweated profusely.
Failures kept appearing, success was far away, and the pressure on her heart was increasing.
If they can't solve this puzzle, they will be stuck here forever. Whether it's to join up with a large army or go to the alchemy factory, it's a luxury.
"You have to do it! Father's hatred, and the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce...... Zidi, you have to fix this!" Zidi insisted through gritted teeth.
Fighting alone until late at night, Zidi suddenly reached for the leather bag on her waist.
"There are no more herbs!"
It was as if she had stepped into the air and fell from a cliff into the abyss.
For a moment, she froze in place like a stone statue.
This medicinal herb is very critical, and if it is consumed, it will be a complete failure!
Despair and frustration were like a tsunami, drowning Zidi's heart.
She stumbled, almost fell to the ground, and almost cried.
"Calm down!" she said to herself, but tears flowed silently.
She knew that panic would not help her, and began to take continuous deep breaths.
But deep breathing doesn't work.
Her mind was in a state of confusion, and she couldn't think.
It was at this moment that she smelled the potion on the stand-in.
As early as on the docks, she secretly sprinkled some kind of scent medicine on the body of the stand-in for insurance.
This smell can only be smelled by taking the corresponding medicine of purple pedisle.
Zidi smelled this smell, and her mind slowly calmed down.
She knew that while she was fighting alone, the stand-in had been standing outside her tent, guarding her.
Suddenly, she felt that she was not alone.
In this desperate situation, there is still one person who faces and struggles with her!
"He's helping me in his own way...... Do your best. ”
"He's guarding me. ”
"He thought I didn't know ......"
"Even though he's not a true knight, and though he's likely to get into trouble with me in the future, ...... at the moment"
"It's good to have you by my side. ”
Zidi's mood calmed down completely, and she quietly wiped the tears from her cheeks.
"There is hope!"
"Although the key herbs are depleted, I can try to replace them with other herbs. ”
This is valuable knowledge on the Barbarian Leather Scroll.
Zidi was unsure and had no experience in this area at all, but the presence of needle gold gave her the courage to try.
Again and again failure.
Failure, or failure.
Consecutive failures.
Zidi doesn't know how many times she's failed, and she's numb to the outcome of her failure. So much so that when success came, she was still subconsciously trying again.
The next moment, Zidi covered her mouth, looked at the liquid in the potion bottle, and shed tears again.
Packing up her emotions and grooming, she sniffed gently.
The stand-in is still there.
Outside the tent, the sun illuminates the east, and the morning glow fills the sky.
Zidi called, "Lord Needle Gold, are you still there?"
"In. Needle Kim replied immediately.
"Then please come in. ”
As soon as he entered the tent, all kinds of strange smells became more intense, and they all poured into the nose of the stand-in.
And the smell that came from him was tightly captured by Zidi.
Zidi looked at the stand-in and raised the glass bottle in her hand: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”
Inside the bottle is a clear blue liquid, like seawater. The surface is calm, but there is a turbulent undercurrent in the depths.
