Not far from Eden is a small woodland, but most of the fruit trees grow in it. Therefore, when the harvest season comes, the villagers will come here to collect fruits, and the main fruits are made to cope with the problem of wintering.

However, this year, due to the orders of Paliusis when he was in power, most of the fruits were plucked before they were ripe, so it should be impossible to count on.

What would Paliusis look like if he knew that his tombstone was set here?

Looking at the two figures standing in front of the wooden sign from afar, the village chief of Isis and Barrett, Li Mengxi couldn't help but think so. After one last glance, he turned around and joined Igarashi on the way back to camp in the setting sun.

"Are you really not going to stay to protect her?" Walking side by side, Li Mengxi asked Igarashi Suke, and she naturally meant Barrett.

"No, I don't. Igarashi replied blandly, "There are no monsters in this area. Besides, that guy is very strong and doesn't need me to protect him. Also, I have something I want to talk to the general alone. ”

Hearing this, Li Mengxi couldn't help but feel a little flattered. Igarashi has something to say to him, but it's a new thing.

"What the hell do you want to tell me so suddenly?"

"Before, I told the general that I want to be your samurai and follow you to learn from your mentality of being a strong man for granted. ”

"Well, that's the case. However, I didn't consider you as my samurai, but not just as a companion?"

"That's because following someone is pretty much my way of life. ”

Hearing Igarashi Suke say this, Li Mengxi's mind suddenly flashed the back of his eldest brother. Once, his longing for his eldest brother, and a series of imitations after his eldest brother disappeared, may also be regarded as a kind of following.

In that case......

"Who's been standing behind you, haven't you thought about going over to see the scenery in front of you?"

Igarashi couldn't help but look at Li Mengxi for a moment.

"General, have you ever followed anyone?"

"Hmm...... To say that following is also a kind of following. By the way, that guy is much more powerful than me. ”

"Really!" Igarashi exclaimed, "It's hard to imagine that there are people in the world who are stronger than the generals." ”

"Well, I think you must have misunderstood something. Li Mengxi smiled helplessly, "That person's strength lies not in force and talent, but in his heart." Looking at his back all the time in front of me, I could tell how weak I really was. By the way, your so-called 'take for granted mentality' may have been cultivated in this way. ”

"The strength of the heart is the true strength. Igarashi smiled knowingly, "Sure enough, it's not as good as a general." But that's the way it is. ”

After laughing, he returned to his serious face.

"General, I recently took a look at the path I've traveled so far, and once again thought about what I'm pursuing. What I want is really that powerful. I will still follow you, but not as a samurai, but as a disciple. ”

"Disciple!" Li Mengxi exclaimed in disbelief, "You mean to be my student!"

"Not bad. Don't worry, I don't need to worry about teaching, my main learning method is observation. ”

"What's different about that?"

"Of course it's different, the samurai can only follow the lord all his life. And the disciple will become a teacher one day, and then he will surpass the teacher as a matter of course. ”

"I see. Li Mengxi smiled a little gratifying, "Then you can do your best to cheer up." Speaking of which, with me as your teacher, you may not be able to become a teacher for the rest of your life. Don't regret it. ”

"Haha, hahaha!" Suddenly, Igarashi suke laughed out loud, it was a hearty smile that Li Mengxi had never seen and heard so far. "General, you have two ancient sayings in China that are very relevant, the first one is called 'Shibei should be impressed for three days'. The latter sentence is 'careless loss of Jingzhou'. ”

Hearing this, Li Mengxi also laughed.

Just as the two were talking, in front of the tombstone behind them, Barrett and her father also had a more important conversation.

"Am I a little too stubborn?" said Chief Isis, after staring at the humble tombstone for a long time.

Truth be told, Barriet did think her father was stubborn, but it was unusual for her father to admit it.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"I've been thinking all day today about what made Palyusis get to this point. As he spoke, Chief Esis looked up at the vast sky, and looked particularly melancholy.

"Dad, you don't want to do anything about Uncle Palyus. ”

"I know, and I know, that the reasons for this are many and complex. It's just that, after thinking about it, I found that as a friend from beginning to end, as a person who has been a close friend of him, I have never said a word for him. ”

"But, that's because ......"

"Rules. It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it. But if you think about it, like you said Ballet, who made this rule for us?"

"Aren't they the gods?"

Hearing this, Isis turned his head to look at the duplicitous Barrett.

"If it were, would you still say such a thing?"

Barriet shook her head silently.

"It's just passed down from generation to generation. Chief Isis looked up at the sky again, and he thought that perhaps the gods were up there, and perhaps they could give themselves an answer. However, it is only a fantasy. "We are so strict with the rules that we dare not transgress our words and deeds, but if we think about it carefully, none of the rules passed down from generation to generation indicate that this is an iron rule that God has set for us, none of which says what will happen if we violate it, and none of them say that it must not be violated. In fact, it was because you broke the rules and ran out of the village to ask for the help of the nobles that the village was able to survive the difficulties. I followed the rules, but I lost an old friend. And this old friend didn't end up in this fate because of his duty to abide by the rules. Rules may just point us in the right direction, and they should be a beacon of light, but our ancestors have gradually turned them into shackles. It is human beings who think that it is right to do it, and to be driven to act by the right is just a slave to the right. ”

As he spoke, Chief Esis looked back at his daughter.

"Barrett, are your dreams still there?"

Hearing this, Barriet immediately turned her head, and after being slightly stunned, she nodded with a serious and resolute expression.

"Dad, sure enough, I still want to be an adventurer like the nobles. ”

"In that case, you should become an adventurer!"

"Daddy!" Barriet was surprised, confused, and confused.

"I want to see where you can end up on the path you choose by breaking the rules. Then, maybe by that time, I'll be able to figure out whether we should still live by the rules. ”

"Dad. I won't let you down!" Barriet replied confidently and aloud. Because, she has a good teacher, a teacher who can teach her what it means to be truly powerful, and as long as she learns from him, she will one day become as powerful as him. No, it's like, it's more than that.

......

At dinner, Li Mengxi told everyone the secret of his and Hinata Nain's attack power far beyond ordinary people - the artifacts "Haotian" and "Earth Royal Gate" according to the agreement.

Both he and Hinata thought it was a very serious matter, but everyone didn't seem to think so, but they were a little disappointed after learning that everything was ultimately a special weapon.

According to Xun Hui, "I thought I could hear some amazing secrets, but this is it."

After all, there are three in Oberiske at the moment, and one each for Camelot, Pandora, and Rex, and everyone may no longer find it strange that artifacts or something.

After that, everyone talked about the turmoil in Eden Village and inevitably talked about it, and this topic was not easy and naturally became darker and darker. Eventually, everyone lost the interest in chatting and went back to the tent to rest.

The fierce battle in the morning, the help in the afternoon, and the tension and hard work of the past few days, everyone can be said to be tired.

However, after everyone left from the flame crystal, Li Mengxi did not leave for a long time. He enjoyed the silence of the night alone, sitting with his back to the firelight, looking up at the stars and thinking.

"What are you thinking again?" A short time later, Naine Hinata walked up from behind him.

Hearing the sound, Li Mengxi turned around,

"I'm reflecting. ”

"Reflection? For what?"

"'Persistence', Nain, you know I have to participate in the level boss raids for some reason. It is this kind of attachment that makes me become anxious and crazy from time to time. If I had been calmer in this matter, I would not have been deceived into the trap so easily, and perhaps the unrest in the village would have been avoided. ”

"Hmm...... That, Yumexi, it would be a little better to say some troubles. If you want to speak, I'm always willing to be a quiet listener. ”

"yes. However, before that, ......" said Li Mengxi's voice gradually weakened.

"What?" In order to hear clearly, Hinata Naine had to take a few more steps forward.

At this time, a sudden change occurred, and Li Mengxi suddenly got up and drew his sword and slashed at Hinata Nain.

A cold light flashed, and Hinata's Nane leaped back lightly, landing on the sand in the distance. In the face of Li Mengxi's sudden attack, she did not have any surprise or anger, but instead hooked the corners of her mouth, looking at the former who was pointing at her with a red sword with great appreciation.

"Pretty, really pretty, you're really good. As she spoke, Hinata Nain's body shook like a mirage, revealing the true face of the pretender - a silver mask, a gold claw, and a black cloak, none other than Moriarty. "However, I think I've dressed up like each other, how do you see through that?"

"I had a pact with Nain, 'If you don't tell, I won't ask'. And what's the difference between what you just said and 'Listen to me'?"

"Well, it's a problem of insufficient intelligence. ”

"It's not enough. Most of the people who make fireworks will want to ask the visitors what they think after the fireworks are detonated, so I think you are likely to come back to me and have been on guard for a long time. ”

"I see, I have a heart and no heart. ”

"The most important thing is ......"

"What is it?"

"The softness, shine, and length of your hair, the specific size of your eyes, the length of your eyelashes, the color and elasticity of your skin, the size of your breasts, the fat and thin of your waist, the thickness of your legs, in short, you are different from head to toe!"

Hearing this, Moriarty couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Do you know all of this? Are you a pervert?"

"Far inferior to you. Moriarty, is the meaning of your existence only the suffering of others!"

"As long as one lives, one cannot avoid suffering. Besides, it seems that I can't bear this responsibility alone, right? Boy, you had a chance to stop me, and what about the result? If the winner is rewarded with whose weeping, then his opponent should at least be responsible for the defeat. ”

"It's not a game!"

"Of course it's a game, isn't this world a game?" Moriarty said, stretching his arms as if embracing the whole world. "Then let's have some fun. Cheer up the spirit of 120,000 points, and there may be my shadow behind every tragedy you encounter in the future. I'm looking forward to the next round, Sherlock Holmes......"
