Verse 98: Let me challenge the needle
In the tent, Cangsu continued, "However, Mango is undoubtedly powerful, and he is not aloneβhe is also followed by Three Blades. Next to Sandao was his former mercenary member. β
"Rumors of orcs cannibalism, as well as suspicions of the real culprit of the captain's murder, pitted the crew and the mercenary members against each other. β
However, the mysterious attacks did not end, and almost every night people were killed, and the people in the camp were terrified. Will leaving the camp avoid the attack? β
"The more fearful people are, the more dangerous they are outside, and the stronger the psychology of clinging to the strong. Although all rumors point to Mango, Mango is stronger than Marso, and Marso's influence will continue to decline. β
"In this case, if the Strings don't take advantage of their influence and start anew, the crew will soon be attached to the orc Mango. β
"As much as people look down on orcs, it's a matter of life and death, and that's completely secondary. β
"If this is the case, it is not surprising that the Thin Rope secretly encouraged the others to flee the camp while the large army was forming a second group of exploration teams. β
Bai Ya looked at the old scholar in front of him, blinked again and again, and was speechless for a while.
As if the door to a new world had suddenly opened, Bai Ya felt horror, fear, and joy in his heart at the moment. Complex emotions, indescribable, stimulated the young man's inspiration.
"I see!" Bai Ya suddenly exclaimed.
"I understand why Mango didn't go to verify the wound. Is it just arrogance? No, because he also knows that there is no point in verifying! Sesoe will try to prove that he is the murderer. If the wound fits the short spear of Manego, it proves that the cord's efforts have been successful. If not, then the cord can also be said to be due to the deformation of the corpse soaked in seawater. β
"Therefore, even if Mane Ge really verifies it, he can't prove his innocence. It is also quite possible that falling into the snare of the cord will be framed even deeper. Since the squirrel deliberately created this wound, he must have been very careful. β
Cangsu nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Young man, you have finally learned to use your brain. Keep this good habit and you will benefit immensely. β
Bai Ya frowned again: "However, Mane Ge is so powerful, and the thin rope is only at the bronze level. He actually dared to frame Mane, which was too bold. Mango fully understands Suo's scheme, isn't Sugo afraid that Mango will kill him with one punch?"
Cangsu explained, "It's strange that Mango is a half-orc, and if he is a pure Terran, it will be different. It was from this that the cord saw an opportunity. More importantly, human nature is greedy and selfish. Are there still few people who are blinded by the greed in their hearts and take risks for the sake of profit?"
"Still. Cang Su's face was solemn, and he looked deeply into Bai Ya's eyes, "You have to understand, what we have talked about above is just speculation, there is no evidence, if you say this, then you are the biggest fool in the camp!"
Bai Ya couldn't help but feel suffocated.
He believed it was the truth, but he couldn't say it!
"Everybody is confused. Some are really confused, and some are pretending to be confused. β
"I used to be really confused, do I have to pretend to be confused now?"
Bai Ya's mood is more complicated.
Cangsu reiterated: "Unity is the most important thing at the moment. You have to understand that this is the most important thing!"
"At the same time, our talk is really just speculation. Just as Master Needle Jin said, before the truth is revealed and the facts are not proven, don't trust others easily, and don't trust your own judgment too much. Our hearts are to be open, to be receptive, and to be ready to accept any possibility. β
"So, in fact, Lord Needle Gold has long seen that it is tired. I was stupid before, alas...... What a great adult. Bai Ya sighed adoringly.
Cang Xu smiled: "Do you know the clan motto of the Hundred Needles family - don't overestimate people, and don't underestimate people." Lord Needle Gold was a true Templar who possessed noble virtues, but at the same time he was a worthy nobleman. In this Game of Thrones, he is at ease. β
"But Lord Acujin is really too forgiving, he even gave Mane Ge a healing potion!" Bai Ya sighed again.
"Haha, that's where the adults come in!"
"Is it a fake medicine?" Bai Ya's eyes widened again.
"It's very unlikely. Needle-sama is no such person. "Cangsu said.
"What if Mane Ge is cured, what if he is not good for adults?" Bai Ya was worried.
Cang Xu's smile became meaningful: "Lord Needle Gold did give the potion, and Mane Ge accepted it. The problem is, Mango ...... Do you dare to use it?"
Mane Ge returned to the tent and quietly looked at the potion in his hand.
The potion is in a glass vial, in a liquid state, and the light blue color is a bit beautiful.
Mango had no intention of using medicine.
Because he had no way of guaranteeing that the bottle would be beneficial or harmless to him.
It was the first time he and Needle Gold had met, and in other people's accounts, Needle Gold had noble chivalry, but Mane Ge preferred to trust his own judgment.
"Needle Gold may not use such a despicable trick, but what about that little girl with purple hair?"
"This is a potion made by Zidi, maybe it's hiding something from the needle. β
Mane Ge can't urge the fighting spirit, if he has a fighting spirit, even if he takes poison, he has a certain resistance.
"I can't use my fighting spirit, and my physical fitness is much stronger than needle gold. Needle gold can't use fighting energy either, but magic ...... It's hard to say. β
In Mango's mind, the confrontation when rescuing the boatwright came to mind.
The stance shown by the needle gold is extremely tough, and it is really on the verge of moving. In addition, he took the initiative to accept Mane Ge's group, and at dinner, he gave healing potions in public.
"All this shows that the needle gold has no fear!"
"Then, there is a great possibility that he will be able to pray and obtain divine magic. β
Mango's eyes were dark, and he was deep in thought.
There was silence in the tent, and there was a faint conversation and discussion among the members of the Three Swords Mercenary Regiment outside.
Mango's ears twitched slightly, and his lion-man bloodline made him very sensitive to hearing.
"Is this medicine useful? Will there be a problem?"
Needle Jin not only gave Mane Ge medicine in public, but also ordered someone to give Sandao and others a batch of treatment potions after the meal.
"Hey, what are you afraid of. Will Lord Needle Gold calculate little people like us? Don't look down on yourself too much. β
"Don't worry, I used it, it feels good, much better than the potion on my body. β
"Alas, I spent a lot of money on the potion I bought, and when it came here, it didn't have any effect at all!"
"Paint it for me, I can't reach my back. β
"Wow, it's cool, the pain is relieved immediately, and it really works......"
"Wait, you still have a wound on your butt. I'll paint it on you!"
"This ...... I'll do it myself. β
"Can you see it? Yo, you're still ashamed? I don't usually see it. β
"Get out! If you want to paint, hurry up and paint me, less TD nonsense. β
Smack, smack, smack!
"Hiss...... Let you paint, what are you doing with my wounds!"
"With such force, the medicine can penetrate in. Do you understand?"
"You!!"
"Hahaha......"
After a bit of fighting, all the wounded were smeared with medicine.
The conversation naturally turned to Needlegold.
"Did you hear what the people in the camp said? He also took action many times to save the weak. There was a shortage of food, and he even gave his own food to the old man and water to the fainting people to drink. β
"It's just someone spreading it on purpose, right?"
"I don't quite like that, either. The rumors are not true and do not stand up to asking, but these things are very specific, and small details can be said. β
"Don't say anything else, but seeing Lord Jinjin's acceptance of us and let us go back to the camp together proves that he is different from other nobles!"
"He's a Templar!"
"What really annoys us is that the Cords don't want us to sleep in the camp. Today, however, we intervened and saved them. β
"The camp is too small and they are afraid that we will not be good for them. β
"These crew members are selfish and simply not trustworthy. If it's Lord Needle Gold, how can there be that disgusting first mate?"
"I heard that Lord Needle Jin took a boat this time to go to the Wilderness Continent and compete for the position of the Lord of White Sands City. It's a pity that because of this shipwreck, he has delayed his timing. β
When these words were thrown, the conversation of the crowd ceased strangely.
When the conversation continued, it was as if they had forgotten about it, and no one took the initiative to mention it.
In the tent, Mane Ge exuded a hint of bitterness.
He knows the psychological thoughts of these former mercenary members very well.
They are discriminated against, they are not living as well as they want, they are too eager to be accepted.
"My lord, have you slept?" came the sound of three knives in the tent.
As he walked, he was silent, and even Mango didn't notice his footsteps. It wasn't until he opened his mouth that Mane Ge realized the position of the three knives.
"Come in. Mane said.
The three knives lifted the tent curtain and came to Mane.
He half-knelt on the ground, saluted Mane, and looked at the ground at Mane's feet: "My lord, early tomorrow morning, let me challenge the needle gold and find out his details!"
"Oh, why do you do that?" said Mane's eyes.
Sandao raised his head, still half-kneeling: "Lord Mane, although I have followed you for a short time, I feel your heart and ambition. You are carrying elite equipment and traveling to the Wilderness Continent by boat alone, you must want to make a difference. β
"And to make a contribution, although you are free and easy to do it alone, but gathering everyone will make you have greater value. β
"However, the shipwright was obviously saved by you, but he only visited the needle. β
"Identity restricts us. Compared with the needle gold, your biggest advantage is strong force, as long as everyone realizes that you are the strongest person in the camp, then the advantage of the needle gold identity will be greatly reduced. β
"Relying on his body alone, the needle gold is definitely not comparable to the adult! The only thing to worry about is his magic skills. β
"Let me explore the way for the adults, and find out the details of his needle early tomorrow morning!"
