CHAPTER XIX
"If you really want to clear the relationship, the easiest way is to stay here for two days, and when the water curtain festival begins, we will not participate in the celebration and go straight back to the Rose City. Xiuer spread his hands, "We don't participate, and the speech originally scheduled at the celebration can't be carried out, although it's very unwilling to run in vain, but practical actions can explain everything, everyone is not stupid, and their eyes are on the Water Curtain Festival, as soon as we leave, everyone knows what we want to convey." At that time, the people who thought that the Dark Moon Temple was on your side instead of neutral must have a problem with their brains, and this poor person with a defective intelligence didn't need to be considered. ”
"It's really easy to do. Minnie nodded, in fact, everyone has thought of this method for a long time, the simplest and most feasible way, not the kind of intellectual deficiency that Shuer said can be thought of, not to mention people like Shuer, she raised this question, just to divert Shuer's attention, so that he doesn't keep stimulating Aloma, but ...... "What do you mean by not planning to do it at all?"
"Literally, this is to dissociate ourselves from you and to tell everyone that the Darkmoon Temple is neutral and that we are not on your side, right? But what if I don't intend to break ties with you at all, or why do I have to break ties with you?
"If we put aside the relationship, it's actually not safe, it may be troublesome to do later, but they can still continue to win over other gods of the Sky God System. Although the probability of success is not high, it is not impossible, and if they do succeed, you will be very passive, right? ”
Minnie and Orlana glanced at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes, and in the face of Shuer's question, the two didn't say anything, but nodded together.
"However, you still chose to give us a chance to dissociate ourselves from each other, although there are reasons not to anger the Dark Moon Temple or even the Sky God System, but I can see that there are also reasons why you don't want the Dark Moon Temple to be involved and cause trouble, you won't deny it. I just said thank you for your love, and seeing your kindness, do you think it's just a polite remark? Heh, how could a stingy person like me not care at all if he hadn't seen this. ”
I really thought so. Several high-ranking priests were thinking so in their hearts, but they were too embarrassed to say it.
"Colleagues, although we are not allies, we can be regarded as a relatively friendly church regardless of whether it is direct or indirect, at least for now, in your eyes, am I the kind of person who knows your purpose and knows that you need help, but is afraid that things will slip away by yourself? ”
"Hehehe. Shule said impassionedly, but Orlana responded with a low chuckle, as early as more than half a month ago, she and Minnie had already known Shuer in many ways, of course this guy is not a bad person, but everything must be analyzed before acting, and he will definitely not make a choice because of impulse, "Everyone is the same kind of person, do you use this excuse to look down on our intelligence?" Oh, if you were only representing yourself, I think you would have made that choice, but unfortunately, you represent not only yourself, but also the Darkmoon Sanctuary behind it, and Lord Luna. ”
"You must understand that here, your every move involves the interests of the entire Darkmoon Temple, so you will never act rashly based on your own preferences, and you will have to make a decision after repeated planning. However, you don't even know the reason for this conflict between the gods, not even who is on both sides, let alone the balance of strength, and with what we know about you, you will never rush into it. It is because of this that we have left room for you to take a break from it. ”
"But do you think we might believe that you are telling me now that you are going to join us on behalf of Lord Luna with the Darkmoon Sanctuary under the condition that everything is unclear?"
"Oh, it can't be. Xiuer scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Between people like us, there are no actions for no reason, and all seemingly unexplained behaviors actually have deep-seated considerations behind them. ”
"That's right, I don't know your deep considerations, do you think we'll feel comfortable letting you in? "So you'd better tell the truth, or we won't be able to trust you if we don't tell the truth, and we can't trust you, well, even if we're allies." ”
"The Lord says, sow and reap, and give in return, praise the wise Lord. Shul drew a circle on his chest, "Sometimes, you have to ......"
"Your Excellency, first, I don't want to hear what Lord Luna has to say right now, we want to hear you now, and second, to further deepen the relationship, it is necessary to pay sincerity, and we want to see your sincerity. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll be honest. Shul sighed and explained, "Although you haven't told me what the disagreement is, and I'm not interested in it, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, and there is no such thing as right or wrong in many things, it's just that everyone has different opinions and different ways of doing things, I guess correctly." ”
"Well, so to speak, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it's just the difference between what works and what doesn't. ”
"I don't know the exact details, but from what you say, Lord Orana, I can tell that the reason for this disagreement is very serious. Hehe, the gods are very generous to their apostles, but this time even their own apostles must be kept strictly secret, and only a very small number of apostles know the specific reasons, which is enough to show that this issue is absolutely extremely important, and even related to the safety of the whole world. My lord has always regarded it as his duty to protect the world, for the sake of this world......"
"Uh-huh, sincerity. ”
"Ahem, okay, get used to it, let me change it. Shuer smiled awkwardly and explained honestly, "It is impossible to stay out of such a major event that is related to the safety of the world, and in the end, everyone has to stand in line, and there can be no middle camp." Therefore, instead of being forced to stand in line when you have to do so, it is better to take the initiative to stand in line now. Hehe, take the initiative to choose a side, as long as you come early enough, even if you don't do anything, you can get a lot of credit in the end, and those who are forced to stand in line have no other possibilities except to be looked down upon. ”
"In that case, why don't I put aside the low-hanging benefits in front of me, and have to wait until I have to make a choice?" Xiu'er spread his hands and said with a smile, "And as I said just now, there is already cooperation between several of our temples, how can I let those of you who have cooperated not be selected and fall to another camp?" Therefore, since you have to stand in line sooner or later, and when the time comes, it is better to cooperate with you now, anyway, I only represent the Dark Moon Temple, as for whether the other adults of the Sky God Department will habitually follow me to stand in line, hehe, I will not be responsible for this. ”
"It's a very reasonable statement, but I still don't see sincerity, even if you make an honest expression, it's useless. Orlana shook her head and said, "It may make sense to be someone else, but it doesn't match your style." ”
"There are no trivial matters between the gods, and the more important the issue, the greater the impact, and the slightest carelessness will cause the Darkmoon Temple and even Lord Luna to suffer a heavy blow, and the Darkmoon Temple has long been unable to withstand the blow. ”
"You know all this in your heart, although you keep saying that you can only gain by taking risks, but that is only for you as a person, not for the Temple, and you have been very careful in dealing with the Temple's external relations, and the targets of your plan and choice are also analyzed and screened rather than blindly selected, just to prevent the Temple that has just improved a little bit from being hit again. Therefore, when you encounter this kind of thing, when the situation is unclear, you would rather give up your interests, as you said, you would rather be looked down upon than take the risk of taking sides, first keep what you have gained, and then fight for what you have not won, this is your style of dealing with the affairs of the temple. ”
"So, how can you make me believe that you are on our side on behalf of the Darkmoon Temple? I can't believe that my Lord and Lord Anika can believe you?"
"Alas. Shul sighed deeply, "So, people like you are really troublesome. ”
"I should say, people like us. Orlana wasn't angry, just stared straight at Shure's expression, as if full of patience.
"Do you have to force me to tell the reason?" Shuer said distressedly, "If I say it, I will lose, and I will owe favors, you say that I owe favors, what good will it do you?"
"Heh, you've already lost. Orlana was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed a knowing smile, "I understand, it is indeed a good reason, hehehe, it seems that you really owe a favor, but do you think that if you don't say it, you don't have to owe this favor?"
"Hmph, at least you can fool yourself. Xiuer muttered a few words, but simply didn't hide it, and explained directly, "If you want to benefit, and you don't want the temple to be hit, it's actually not difficult at all, as long as you stand on the side of the victor." The challenge is how to determine who will be the victorious side. ”
"You don't believe what I've just said because you don't think I can foresee who will be the winner, and indeed, if I really can't tell who will win, I won't risk it with Lisa and Lord Luna. However, there is a good chance that you will be the victor now, so I took the initiative to side with you. ”
"Because, Lord Kaeya, the Earth Mother, has already expressed her position. ”
