Chapter 15: Conditions for Victory (1)
"The requirement for the use of 'making mirrors' is that the surrounding environment should not be too dry...... I've never seriously thought about these issues before, but the last time I fought the 'hyena', I had a vague feeling in my heart...... At that time, because I was covered in blood, the 'mirror' covering my body was a translucent red plane—"
[In other words, the effect of using the same magic will vary depending on the environment.] The conclusion of the basic logic that can be thought of with a little use of your brain, I really thank you for analyzing it here seriously, don't you feel ashamed of my little Brunei. 】
"...... 'the conclusion of basic logic'—that should be based on a clear definition of magic. I've never learned this before, and it's normal to think about it when I don't need it, and there's nothing to be ashamed of. But then again, system, you do know a lot of things. ”
[Aha! Isn't that a matter of course!, Lao Tzu, I'm glorious, great, always correct, omniscient, and omnipotent Sun King COC system!]
The dialogue between the brain and the system is like talking to oneself, and it doesn't even fully form a sentence, but it is just a flash of lightning and it comes to an end. Brunei refocused his mind on the reality in front of him, the undulating and bumpy roof of the Rama in the waves, and the dull darkness, hiding the murderous intent of the cold. Except for where Ropol and Brunei were standing at the moment, it was completely covered by an incomparably smooth layer of ice.
"In the environment on the surface of the 'Great River', the effect of the 'Water Spell' will be significantly increased. This is a proven conclusion, that is, Captain Rama, who uses 'water spells', and his powerful spells that seem to be able to manipulate rivers, are likely to be just a variation of low-level spells that are amplified by the environment. Well, that way, you're more likely to win. ”
"Well, by all means, the first step to victory in this battle—"
Brunei coughed twice, and after clearing the river water from his throat, he said loudly at the maximum volume that he could achieve, which was still not much better, "Then again, you said it very well just now, Mr. Ropol. ”
"Well said?" Ropol was stunned for a moment, "What? Do you say, 'Don't let go'? Don't worry, I know that I have no way back, and the captain Rama really wanted to kill me." I'm not going to let go. ”
Brunei's brow furrowed imperceptibly. Ropol was necessary for him, who could not act on his own, and from this point of view, he did not think that it was a bad thing that he had no way out, however, it could not be thought of as such, and it was not enough to think like this.
Ropol thought he had no way out, and that may have been the case, but what he said was not actually enough to corroborate. Brunei couldn't swim, and even if he could, he could only drown if he couldn't stand on his own, but Ropol didn't. As a sailor in the crew, it is conceivable that the water is very good, and even if he is washed into the river, he will not die in a short time. Now Ropol couldn't think of it, but after a long time, he thought to himself, or heard Captain Rama explain it to him sincerely, it might make him change his mind, and Brunei was in crisis.
Even if that situation does not occur, Ropol's cooperation is far from enough to stay at the level of self-abandonment when he is cornered. If you want to beat the experienced Captain Rama on the river, just "want to live" is not enough. Determination to ask too little can easily be shaken.
"'Don't let go' is of course, but that's just repeating what I said, there's nothing good or bad. Brunei's voice was calm and calm, and the weakness and hoarseness caused by the physical condition at the moment somehow seemed to have turned into a kind of magical charm, which made people want to listen," is the previous sentence. In this world, only some people are qualified to eat meat. ’。 ”
"Huh?" Ropol was stunned for a moment, he was just trying to delay as much time as possible for Brunei to use the spell, it was just a casual remark, but now that his life was in Brunei's hands, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to refute it, just laughed dryly, "Ha-ha." ”
"You don't seem to agree with me. Brunei smiled lightly, and Ropol's expression stiffened, but he just stood there and listened to him continue, "What you're thinking is, 'That's just casual nonsense, what's good or bad?', right?'" ”
"......" Ropol glanced to the side and did not speak.
Brunei laughed again: "There is no way for people to speak without thinking. The less you think about it when you speak, the more the words you say come out of the accumulation of your own thoughts, that is, the closer you are to your true thoughts. That's why I say, you're right. ”
"You understand how the world works. Human beings are born into two types, 'those who are entitled to eat meat', and 'those who can only drink soup at most'. When there is too little meat, there may be times when people who are qualified to eat meat may not be able to eat meat, but no matter how much meat there is, only those who are qualified to eat meat can eat it. ”
Ropol looked at Brunei in a bit of a daze, what Brunei said did say something about his thoughts, but he couldn't understand it at all, at this time, what was the meaning of Brunei Darussalam's words, he even felt that Brunei had a bit of a problem with his brain.
However, Brunei didn't care what he thought now, but after confirming that he seemed to be listening, Brunei continued to himself: "And like you said, those three people are 'not qualified to eat meat', so they have now fallen into the river. You are different, you are a 'person who is qualified to eat meat', and being able to understand this truth is also a proof. ”
Ropol stamped his foot a little uneasily: "Hmm-ah. Are you trying to encourage me? I see, thank you for your kindness, it's just that it might be dangerous for us to continue standing here—"
"Calm down, Mr. Ropol, didn't I tell you? Brunei said softly, "Don't be blinded by 'danger', you are 'qualified to eat meat'." I'm not trying to encourage you, I'm just trying to help you. Help you open your eyes that are blinded by 'danger' and see the reality in front of you. ”
Ropol became more and more agitated and couldn't calm down at all, but he hadn't lost his mind yet, so he had to cooperate with Brunei and forcibly pretend to be calm: "What reality?"
"By your standards, have you eaten meat by now? If so, have you eaten enough?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Ropol finally shouted impatiently.
"Are you already satisfied? As a crew member, the crew of the 'Rama', who has been mixed under Captain Rama for ten years, can you be satisfied with the meat you eat?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Ropol gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to throw Brunei into the river.
"Hehe, you're not satisfied, aren't you? Don't you understand? The situation in front of you, pushing away the danger that completely overshadows your vision, is an opportunity. The opportunity to 'eat more meat' – no, it's the opportunity for you to eat meat if you are 'qualified to eat meat'. ”
Ropol tugged at Brunei's collar and pulled it very close, face to face, and roared with a hideous face: "Have you said enough?! What is wrong with you! What kind of 'opportunity' is there! If it weren't for you, a damn madman, everything would be fine now! Now we are both going to die! We are all killed! You are all harmed! What kind of 'chance' are you talking about! Fool! Who wants any 'opportunity'!"
Ropol's face was hideous, and his voice was fierce, but in the face of his Brunei, he showed a smile.
[Oh, "We're all dead!", that's what he really thinks. Of course it would be dangerous to let him think like this—oops, my little Bruneith. Oops, it's a bit impressive. 】
"The word 'Luo' in 'Rama' is the 'Luo' in 'Ropol'. ”
Ropol's roar was suddenly interrupted by Brunei's calm and low words, as if choking: "......"
"Hehe, isn't that great?" Brunei laughed twice, "The first word for 'Rama' is 'Luo' for 'Ropol', and that's what you said to me, right? Captain Ropol. ”
Ropol swallowed, and even in the midst of the noisy waves, the "grunt" was still very loud.
"Captain Ropol, you are 'a man who is qualified to eat meat'. Now is the time to 'eat meat', and don't talk about stupid things like death anymore. Brunei let out a sigh of relief, "How? Have you calmed down? Then listen to me, now, I have a very complete plan." It can keep us alive and make you the captain. ”
I don't know if it was too hard to vent the angry roar just now, and now Ropol gasped heavily, like a drowning man, and even spoke intermittently: "Is it?
[But how to say it.] Do you really think that? What you say, "eat meat" and don't "eat meat" or something like that, haha, do you really think that?
"Yes—let me think," Brunei paused briefly, "and the first step is to change my position to a more comfortable position." It's very uncomfortable for you to keep carrying my neckline like this. ”
