Chapter 119: Is This Your Choice, Teacher?
"It's a magnificent sight. Merlin held his wine glass and looked in the direction of the Holy Alliance, and said leisurely.
Lois had just put on his leather armor, picked up his longbow, and was checking the magic arrows in the quiver, when he raised his head when he heard this, "What magnificent sight?"
"Have you ever seen a mountain turn into a valley, or an ocean evaporated by the scorching sun, or tens of thousands of birds with their wings broken?" Merlin snorted.
It's a long, well-known poem that is sung by almost every bard on the Dawn Continent, but it sounds a little strange to be sung by someone in a light tone.
But Lois couldn't take care of these small details anymore, and said angrily, "When are you still in the mood to play me this kind of dumb riddle, let me ask you again, do you want to go to Dragon's Tooth Town?"
The fox masked man took a sip of the red wine in his hand, "What am I doing in Dragon's Tooth Town?"
Roy was amused by his question, "The Wizards Association has received news that those monsters are likely to attack Dragon's Tooth Town tomorrow morning, and now there are still 20,000 civilians in the town, and everyone who gets the news has decided to defend the city......"
"Then you go, I didn't stop you?" Merlin wondered.
Lois trembled angrily, "You bastard, your only apprentice is going to fight those monsters, don't you have any ideas?"
"Oh, if I told you not to go, would you stay?"
"How can you see death and not save you!There are 20,000 people, 20,000 people there!" Lois's eyes widened, "Do you want me to watch them get killed by those monsters?"
"That's not the end of it. The fox masked man shrugged, "You go." ”
Lois was furious, "The point is not me at all, if I die, will you be able to sleep at night as a master?" ”
"That's why I've given you all the best defensive wizards I've ever stocked. Someone pointed to the leather armor on the female archer, "Didn't you sweep away all those magic arrows too?" Merlin had an innocent look on her face.
Lois's patience was finally exhausted by the goods, and he said bluntly, "What about you?"
"I, what do you want me to do?" the second monk of the fox mask man was confused.
"Didn't you think you'd do your part to protect Dragon's Tooth?"
Merlin just wanted to say unashamedly that I didn't send you, but when he looked up and saw his apprentice's face, he wisely swallowed this sentence back, changed his words halfway, and said with a serious expression, "I can't do it, I don't have combat effectiveness, and if I go, it will drag you back, so staying here honestly is the greatest help to you." ”
Lois is very skeptical of the authenticity of someone's words, thinking about this guy's unfathomable layout, the terrifying wealth behind him, and the unexplained prophetic vision, you can hardly believe that his strength will be very good, not to mention anything else, even the Wizards' Guild can use money to smash a Phaynt, let alone Merlin who gave the Philosopher's Stone as a gift, but in the few years he has been with someone, Lois has indeed not seen him do it, not once.
The closest thing he got was when he was provoked by a drunken strong man while shopping, only to admit Merlin on the spot, but then secretly ran back and poured horse urine into the quilt of a drunkard, and the whole process was like a childish ghost.
Lois looked suspicious, "You really don't know how to fight?"
The fox masked man smiled bitterly, "Isn't it fun to pretend to be a grandson, if I really have as good as you imagined, I won't be chased by the church all these years and hide in Tibet." ”
"Well, what you said seems to make some sense, but it doesn't make sense, you obviously have countless ways to make yourself powerful. Lois still found it difficult to understand.
"Well, not everything in this world is logical. Merlin took a sip of red wine, as if she were a lady at a dinner party.
"You can always do something other than fighting. ”
"For example?"
"For example, disaster relief, resettlement of disaster victims, etc. ”
"Aren't you already doing disaster relief? The fox masked man said sourly, which made the female archer a little apologetic, thinking that the guy in front of her had entrusted the small vault to herself for safekeeping, but she completely ignored someone's protests, and directly used the money in it to help the displaced refugees.
Although she can be sure that this guy does not have only a place to save private money, but this matter is her fault after all, but when she thinks of the huge crisis that humanity is facing, Lois can't help but be angry, in her opinion, with someone's ability, as long as he has the will, he can do more things, instead of just sitting there and drinking his own wine as if nothing happened.
Lois is Merlin's apprentice, in a sense, her three views will also be influenced by someone to a certain extent, before this she actually did not dislike the fox mask man's wise attitude of self-preservation, but now that humanity has reached the threshold of life and death, she has never been so eager to hope that Merlin can stand up as much as she does now.
Because this is a war for everyone.
Only this time, Merlin disappointed her.
The Fox Masked Man showed his ruthless side, as if he didn't care if there was a tomorrow for humanity, and the casualties, the towns that were attacked, and the civilians who died were just a string of cold numbers in his eyes.
Merlin also seemed to know what his apprentice was thinking, and sighed, "I told you a long time ago, don't expect too much from me, or I will disappoint you one day...... You don't know me at all, I've never been a hero, because I don't care about the world, I only care about myself from beginning to end. ”
"But if this world is gone, how are you going to survive?"
"Many people have their own answers to this question, Vannal V firmly believes that finding Olgaard is the key to solving all problems, stupid as Elwood thinks that if you show faithfulness, you can be forgiven by the gods, and of course there are people who think the same way as you, such as Da Vinci, the former president of the Wizards' Guild, to be honest, I admire him and the people on the council, but I don't intend to follow their old path, I believe that smart as I can find my own answers. ”
Merlin's face flickered in the night, and the words he uttered from his mouth made Loyce feel cold like never before, and it was not long before the female archer struggled to squeeze a sentence out of her teeth, "Is this your choice, Sensei?"
"I think I've made it clear enough. The Fox Masked Man said lightly, "If you want to guard Dragon's Tooth Town, then you should set off now." ”
