Chapter 159: Ian's Selfishness
readx;? Ian's lamentation was not unreasonable. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he had seen this demon worm climb vertically on the rock wall. Although His Majesty the King is relatively large, he probably retains the ability to climb rocks.
If they can still sit on it and want to be on the way up, they can save a lot of time.
Unfortunately, this convenient option has been erased, and there are only two options left in front of them, and they are equally complicated and difficult.
The lava beneath their feet was rising irrepressibly, and according to information provided by Lawrence, if they wanted to escape the ground, they would have to go up to the mouth of the passage above Athasias before the lava flooded the place. There are undoubtedly only two paths that people can choose to achieve.
One is to enter the intricate tunnels in the rock formations, as they did when they came down, and find the way to the upper level from countless paths.
The second is from here in a straight line, past the head of Assarius, and into the intersection of the upper level.
However, neither of these options is a good choice for everyone.
The former, as Assathys was at war with a certain being at this time. The loud noise caused by it is undoubtedly very likely to cause the collapse of the surrounding tunnels and bury people's lives. And even if you are lucky enough not to cause a collapse, it will be difficult to find the right way through such a complex tunnel before the magma overflows.
As for the latter, it is true that a straight line is the shortest distance, but to do so is undoubtedly to break directly into the battlefield head-on. Even if you think about it on your toes, everyone knows that if they do, the chances of them surviving are absolutely slim.
"Let's go into the tunnel. ”
After everyone hid in the mouth of a tunnel on a rock wall, Bartlett only muttered for a moment before speaking: "I can control the earth and rocks, even if it collapses, I can barely protect everyone, if I don't stay, I will be trapped underground temporarily, and if I spend more time, I can still get out." ”
"No, it's too dangerous to do that. Master Clark shook his head: "The rock formations underground are not as simple as you think, and once the earth and rocks are backlogged, even your mind will definitely not be able to hold up enough space for all of us." Even if you succeed, a completely enclosed environment will lead to a lack of air and suffocation. ”
"But it's even more dangerous to go straight up. Bartlett pointed to the roaring battlefield outside, and retorted: "Lawson is too slow to float upward, and we have almost no possibility of avoiding it in the air, as long as we get a little touch, everyone will be done." ”
"And have you forgotten that Lord Ian is not affected by Rosen's mind. ”
Everyone was slightly stunned, and then remembered that when they were arguing about which path to choose, they had ignored the situation of Mr. "Night Watch", who had been traveling with them.
Realizing this, everyone looked at Ian with apologies on their faces.
However, Ian shook his head unappetizingly. Even if he can't use the mental image to float in the air, climbing up is not too much of a problem for him. Moreover, everyone in the world is selfish, and when faced with a crisis, it is instinct to think about what they care about most at the first time, and then to be able to consider others, which is enough to be called good. And even more so, being able to choose between the two to sacrifice oneself and save others, then this existence is either a sage or a devil.
In the same way, Ian has his own selfish intentions.
"Master Clark, it may not be appropriate for me to make this proposal, but I agree more with Captain Bartlett. He closed his eyes hidden under the hood: "It is indeed too dangerous to take off directly, in the tunnel, we can still deal with one or two emergencies, but in mid-air, once we encounter danger, even I have no way to save you in the first place." ”
"Moreover, at this time, it is clear that Asharis is at war with some equal, or similar, being, and I don't think it would be wise to expose them directly. ”
"This ......"
Master Clark visibly faltered, while the rest of the group nodded slightly. Everything that happened along the way made them have great trust in Ian, and at this time, the two most authoritative people on the team reached an agreement, and the rest naturally had no objections.
Seeing the magma approaching, Master Clark finally nodded after a little silence. And when everyone agreed and walked into the tunnel, Ian, who was standing at the end, turned his head to stare at the scene outside the cave, and stepped into the tunnel with a sense of regret for everyone.
In fact, out of selfishness, he hid something from everyone.
He knew that going straight was the safest option for everyone. But in any case, he did not want people to choose this path.
From the beginning, he knew that it was Phil who was at war with Asathys. In his sublimated consciousness, he had already confirmed the existence of the girl and spied into the corner of the battlefield above. And since he could find out where the girls were, how could Fei'er not be aware of their arrival.
He knew the girl too well.
As long as they ascend into the air, she will absolutely stop at nothing to protect them so that they can safely cross the area and return to the ground.
But that's not what Ian wants.
Of course, it's not that Ian doesn't want the members of the investigation team to escape, but he has already discovered that Phil is at a disadvantage in this battle.
She will stop at nothing to protect them.
But what will she have to pay when facing the burden of sudden induction, who is already at a disadvantage?
Seriously injured?
Or the fall?
Either way, Ian didn't want to take it.
Although many of Ian's actions are considered "virtuous" enough to be called "virtuous", he himself knows that he may barely be called a little kind, but he is still the most ordinary mortal in nature. He also has the things he cares about the most, and he also has the selfishness that ordinary people should have.
If he were to choose between Phil and the investigation team, even if he was sorry, he would inevitably choose the former.
Of course, it may be that Phil's weakness is just a mistake in his judgment, or maybe Phil is just deliberately putting herself in a weak position. But Ian was absolutely unwilling to gamble on these possibilities.
Therefore, in his heart, he never wanted everyone to choose to take off directly, so as to affect the battle situation above and put Fei'er in danger. Even if it violates the moral bottom line in his heart, he deliberately leads them to a more dangerous situation because of selfishness to influence the judgment of others in life and death decisions.
But even with great regret, even if he had to compensate for the same situation himself, Ian would never regret the decision.
Because that's Ian's greatest selfishness.
He looked upon her above all else. (To be continued.) )
