Chapter 137 A Thousand People and a Thousand Faces

"The one who took the map". Not a casual title, but an early term reserved for those in charge of secrecy, who often had in their hands the means of turning the tables the last way, the so-called map, meaning the road to victory.

This kind of affectionate title is perfect for Isennas.

Isenus silently unfolded the map while looking thoughtfully at Lizanka.

This may not be a coincidence.

As the forms of warfare became more and more elaborate, the professions of auxiliary functions other than the army became more and more perfect, and these shadow departments gradually faded into oblivion, and the term "map-bearer" was no longer heard. Now, the title has become almost an exclusive term of ridicule among the historic aristocracy.

In addition, Lizanka's knowledge of history is not the kind of smugness that has heard a few terms, but an analysis of the causes, results, and effects of historical events.

There are also ancient languages. The inheritance of ancient languages can only be passed down in families that are old and stable enough.

Of course, it is not excluded that some ancient academic schools have survived in the cracks.

With this information inadvertently exposed by Rizzana, Esenas also had a little guess about the origin of the lady who had joined the gang halfway.

When Rizanka was glanced at by Esennas's bland but seemingly perceptive gaze, it was as if a basin of cold water was pouring from the top of her head to her heels, and every end of her hair was dripping with cold droplets.

This glance calmed her down.

Thinking back to her words and actions over the past two days, Lizanka realized that she seemed to be a little carried away.

With the uninhibited environment of the party and the influence of the rambling Leo, she can't tell the line between game and reality.

Rizanka urged Isenus with some uneasiness, trying to skip the question, "What are you hesitating about?

Isenus withdrew his gaze and placed the map on the table. Sometimes, too much anxious search can hide the truth even deeper.

"Here. ”

Now that he was back in business, Isenus glanced at Leo and Lizanka sharply.

"Since you've chosen to let me do the plan, don't let my plan be voided every time, okay? This is my third plan. ”

Leo, who knew that he was at a loss, nodded obediently.

Lizanka opened her mouth, also choosing to remain silent.

"Good. Isenas pointed to the map. "Our next goal is the Pillar of the World, we need to travel through most of the Faith Country, and it's never been our team's style to go straight to the destination, it's our goal to record what the world sees and hears while adventuring. So I sorted out two anecdotes based on Leo's notes. ”

"The first place is the 'Water Jedi', and in addition to considering some of Leo's moods, I am also very interested in this place. ”

"According to less reliable historical sources, five or six hundred years ago, this was still a sacred place for orcs, and all orcs who wanted to perceive nature, merge with nature, and become a shaman could come here to practice penance for a period of time. But just around 400 years ago, this holy place suddenly disappeared without a trace, and turned into a dead place with no water source and no life. ”

"Four hundred years ago, we had many encounters at this point in time, and everyone, we should be sensitive to this point in time. Esenas looked at the others solemnly and warned. "At the beginning of the Sacred Calendar four hundred years ago, something must have happened that was enough to change the whole world, although this information is now well buried, but since we have noticed it, we should dig it up, whether it is to keep history from dust, or for the safety of our future travels, I think it is necessary for us to put the importance of this matter in the second or even first place. ”

The words "restoring history" and unraveling the fog of history sound very tempting.

Ente and the others glanced at each other, nodded, and then said, "No problem, we fully agree with your decision, not to mention that we can help Leo fulfill a little wish." How long will it take for us to arrive?"

"About thirty days. Isenus pointed to the map again. "It's a bit too long, and a tiring trip is harmful. My suggestion is to take a break in the village of Kotori, which is easily accessible and has six main roads leading in different directions, so we have a lot of options if something unexpected happens. ”

"Accident?" Ryzanka repeated the word.

"Oh, of course, unexpectedly. It was my negligence that I didn't have time to explain the situation of the team members to you..."Isenas tapped his forehead and said, "To put it simply, Ente in our team is now being hunted down by the Church of Light and its subordinate churches, and although we have temporarily hidden our tracks, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents in the world. ”

"That's it?" asked Lizanka, a little confused.

From Esennas' slightly evasive gaze, Lizanka sensed that the team's brains had something unfinished.

"That's all. ”

"Great, let's break up. Little Paul cheered, picked up a pillow, and shrank into the corner of the carriage.

He stayed up in the second half of the night last night, and it was going to be too sleepy, and he had to make up for it.

The question in Lizanka's heart had to be pressed back into her stomach.

Calm had returned to the carriage, and no one seemed to be inclined to speak.

Lizanka had no choice but to find a breakthrough from Nana.

"Nana. She shouted quietly.

"What's wrong?" Nana froze, shifting and turning to Lizanka.

In Nana's senses, Lizanka and her are completely polar personalities, and the instincts given to her by the mountain tell her not to communicate too much with Lizanka.

And vaguely, Nana felt that Lizanka seemed to be her rival in some way.

Feeling Nana's resistance, Lizanka frowned slightly. But then she remembered that with the help of Nana's unknown technology, she had the ability to observe in detail, and all her usual habits and expressions had to be abandoned.

She immediately adjusted the height of the corners of her mouth, and at the same time controlled the angle of the corners of her eyes, and made an amiable smile.

"Are you sleepy?" asked Lizanka.

Nana was a little wary and writhed uncomfortably.

"It's fine. Nana's hands were clasped in front of her chest, a social gesture that was a clear signal of defense.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Nana asked emphatically.

A person who tries to hide his behavior must be a master of the study of the relationship between mental and physical performance.

Lizanka immediately realized that her usual disguise was invalid.

It may not even be the disguise this time, and even the performance of appearing in the adventure group with her at the beginning did not have the desired effect in front of Nana. Is this why such an important member of the team's finances is trying to reduce his presence in front of her?

Intuitive feeling, perhaps?

Rizanka secretly thought of this possibility, and couldn't help but have a headache.

She hesitated slightly, relaxed, kept smiling, and said, "I want to know what happened in the team, but I don't know who to ask." I think it's easier for both of us to communicate with each other. ”

In the subtle details, Lizanka's expression softened a lot, and there was a little less deliberate.

And in Nana's senses, the lady in front of her seemed to have unarmed and become more approachable.

Nana didn't know the reason for this change of feeling, but she still chose to trust her instincts.

She nodded and said, "No problem, where do you want to start? Why don't you start when I join the team, when I was still living in Morbius Mountain..."

As the patriarch of a duke's family who fought all the way, thousands of people and thousands of faces are the basic skills, but if you want to be so realistic that you can't even distinguish your intuition, you can only self-hypnosis.

The personality formed briefly after hypnosis can perfectly achieve the state you want, but the risk is also extremely obvious, that is, such a deep simulation will make your real personality and virtual personality unable to switch freely, which is also a risky move for Lizanka with ulterior motives.

Smiling and listening to Nana's narration for the morning, Lizanka touched Nana's golden hair and said softly, "Thank you." ”

Nana closed her eyes with some enjoyment and said, "You're welcome, just ask me if there's anything else you want to know." ”

"There's nothing more to ask. Rizanka withdrew her hand and looked at the path of the sun outside the carriage. "Are you hungry? I'll go get something to eat. ”

Little Paul, who had just woken up, rubbed his eyes and asked with some surprise: "Alas, I'll just go, I'm going to hunt for the team now." ”

Lizanka grinned and flicked little Paul's head, and then opened the curtain of the car: "Children don't go out and walk around in early spring, it's easy to catch a cold." ”

Little Paul let out an "oh" and lay back obediently.

Although Lizankadi's movements are still a little domineering and capricious, little Paul feels that something is different.

"Whatever!" said little Paul, shaking his head, leaving the questions behind him, and finally able to ask Leo to squeeze them, and he wanted to enjoy his rare lunch break.

Leaving the vicinity of the group, Lizanka's pupils began to dilate and shrink rapidly, and it took a long time for her to gasp for breath and regain her spirit.

"This sucks. Recalling Leo's childhood, Lizanka kicked the tree next to her in frustration.

"This Leo is not at all an unpopular bastard like those long-tongued women! No wonder the old fellow Oster is always secretive of Leo's information. ”

After sighing, Lizanka glanced sadly at the border between the land of the free and the country of faith, and beyond the heavy space, she could even see the shadow of an elite army...
