Chapter 172: Questions
I shook my head. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
"To some, you are an other, someone who may try to take refuge or be ruled, and for others, you are a rebel, a deformed being, and you must be eliminated," said Fein. β
I thought about it and nodded.
Finn continued, "The former are mostly civilians and powerless rangers who don't know the truth, while the latter are the nobles of the Five Great Powers and the leadership of your order. I'm not wrong, am I?"
I nodded.
"Well, then, you are now in a very awkward and dangerous situation. And I've heard that you've just fallen out with the Order, and it seems that the Order is now in danger of splitting...... You don't have to ask me how I know, you talked all night drunk last night. "It is because of your drunken remark that I am going to ask you this questionβare you planning to apostasy?"
"After thinking clearly, answer well, this is a test for me. Let's see if your IQ is qualified to be my boss, if you answer correctly, we can turn the crisis into an advantage together, if you answer wrong, you can wait for your own death!"
Finn's words made me serious all of a sudden, and although I still had a hangover pain at my temples, I had mobilized all my brain cells for the first time.
After a long time, I met Finn's sparkling eyes and said, "No, I won't apostate! Or rather, I won't apostasy now! Why should I run away from such a great opportunity?"
Finn's face was strained, and there was no expression other than the constant glint in his eyes.
Suddenly he said, "Why are you rubbing your hands on your thighs? Is it because you are stressing out to say something like that? Now, why are you touching your neck again? Is it because you don't have confidence in what you're saying?"
I was made uncomfortable by him for a while.
Finn suddenly laughed and said, "It's not as good as it could be, but it's better than nothing." It doesn't matter how much you can handle pressure, but at least your IQ isn't in trouble. Since you have chosen not to apostasy for the time being, can I hear your reasoning?"
I touched my nose and said, "There's no other reason why I'm a very devout Catholic." β
Fein sneered: "Can you lie without touching your nose? To a man like me, it's as ridiculous as the Emperor's new clothes." β
I was a little annoyed, shook my hand away, and said, "Are you going to expose my words like this sentence by sentence?"
Finn suddenly laughed, stretched out comfortably in his chair, and said, "That's right, I'm just going to get rid of all the lies you want." Let me know that there will be no lie in front of me. Now, tell me what you really think. You know, the assessment of you is not over yet. β
I sat up straight in frustration and said, "Can I trust you?"
Fein spread his hands: "Whatever." β
I wiped the sweat from my forehead, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, trust you...... I said not to apostasy for the time being, out of three considerations, first, no matter how much trouble is made at the top of the Order, they still show a state of unity and solidarity with the outside world, at least, there is no obvious sign of split, if I declare apostasy at this time, I will become the enemy of both sides at the same time, and even the enemy of those who have no position, so that the pressure I am facing will reach an unprecedented level, so to speak, I will be destroyed in minutes, and even the Fourth Legion under my command will collapse on its own in an instantγ β
"If I don't apostatize, I'm just a good shade under the big tree, I can use the resources of the Order at any time, and my position will also make some enemies around me dare not do anything too out of line, which is a good situation for me and even my subordinates. And in order to win over me, a neutral variable, Finreal, Hull, and Yumengand, they will only try to win me over rather than suppress me, unless they are the first to apostasy, otherwise I have no room at all. β
I saw Finn raise his finger and nodded.
"The second point. I thought for a moment, and then said, "The position of the head of my fourth legion is personally appointed by the high priest, which is much more valuable than those legion commanders appointed by the divine envoys, at least, it is equivalent to the prestige of a deputy oracle among the cultists, such a good situation can be used well to attract the first type of people you mentioned, to strengthen my own strength, and when this kind of people reach enough level, I don't have to worry about being easily eliminated by the upper echelons, and even I will rise to become the order in addition to Finreal and Hull, The third major force outside of Yumengand, the three-legged situation is the most stable. I have such a good prospect that there is absolutely no need for a blatant apostasy. β
Finn held up a second finger and nodded.
"As for the third ......," I looked at Finn, as if there was no need to say it. At this time, Finn suddenly raised his head to look at me, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a mysterious smile, and he said: "The third point, you don't need to say it, I can probably understand a thing or two." Actually, this is the most important point. Well, I really didn't see the wrong person. β
After saying that, Finn stood up, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "I will also tell you two things, first, we have found some of your men, about a thousand or so cavalry, and now they are blocked by a group of unknown people on the road between Tosdel and Emilin, and it seems that the other party does not want to destroy them, but intends to annex them. You can take a good look at the faces of the men under you, and secondly, the bandaged man you brought with him woke up, and something seemed to be wrong with him. β
With that, Finn waved his hand and walked out.
I was stupid, and it took me a long time to react. Tedamir has been found and is being intercepted?! Old G has woken up, but something is wrong?!
Damn, these two things are so important, he actually put it off until now!I put on my clothes and cursed this damn Finn, and then I made it to the room where Old G was resting in the shortest amount of time. Didn't Finn say it, Tydamir and their lives will not be in danger for the time being, I can just use this to see the faces of some people, so I don't need to worry too much, in comparison, the problem of Lao G is very important!
Something went wrong, what went wrong? dead or disabled? I can't even explain this to his people, and if that's the case, I'm afraid that the first one to come and kill me is the Bright Alliance that I really don't want to provoke now. I need to recuperate for a long time now, and not stand on the cusp of contradictions.
When I kicked the door open, I immediately saw that Old G was startled by the movement of my foot.
Yes, I was startled! This old G, who shook Tramercino last night, the leader of the League of Light, jumped up in fright when I kicked the door, hugged the beam above his head like a cat, his body trembled with fear, and his eyes looked at me in panic.
I stood stupidly at the doorway, looking at the old G hanging on the roof, and it took a long time for him to hang upside down on it and ask a stupid question.
He asked, "You, who are you? Who am I? How am I here?"
I instantly felt like my world was going to collapse.
It took a lot of effort for Sergio and I, who rushed to hear the news, to get the old G who was clinging to the beam like a cat, and for this, the Dugan demon Sergio was also kicked several times by the old G.
When we looked at the poor old G sitting on the ground shivering with sweaty footprints on our faces, the latter was like a weak woman who had been caught in a bandit's den, clutching her chest tightly and shouting: "Don't come! What are you going to do! Don't come here!"
I spread my hands: "I'm out of line." β
Sergio gasped and said, "I'm even more out of the question, you spent so much effort to bring him here, you don't know him at all?"
I said, "I don't know him, I know him very well! It's just that he probably fought too hard last night, or he was broken out of his brain, in short, it's none of my business." β
Sergio pouted, clearly disconvinced.
I wiped my sweat and squeezed out a smile that was as amiable as possible, and I said, "Old G, don't be afraid, my brother will give you candy later, don't make a ......fuss about it first."
Old G looked at me with a confused expression: "Old G, who is Old G? Who gave such a pit name?"
I almost choked on a mouthful of water.
Sergio's eyes widened: "Old G! He's old G?! What's the joke! I actually met Old G! Moreover, he is still amnesiac?"
Old G immediately looked at him: "Is the name Old G very powerful? Okay, I'm Old G, yes!"
As he spoke, the old man stretched out two fingers at me and gestured to a scissor hand, and then he froze there for a long time before he muttered, "Why do I seem to be afraid of the word 'yes'? I feel as if I have been deeply hurt by this word before......
I waved my hand: "Whatever, do you remember the past? How much do you remember? You're not kidding, are you? Are you really amnesia?"
Old G thought about it carefully and said, "I really want to think of some...... I'm old G, right?"
I immediately nodded happily: "You finally remembered, just remember!"
Old G then pointed at Sergio: "I remember, isn't this the name you gave me just now?"
Me: "......"
Sergio dragged me aside: "Is this guy really an old G?
I nodded: "It's like a fake." If you think there's a second person in the world who has a holy sword in his hand? β
Sergio's eyes lit up, he looked at Old G, swallowed his saliva and said, "What about the sword?"
I said, "Ruined ......"
Sergio looked at me with disdain and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to pay attention to this, whether he's an old G or not, don't forget what you promised me." β
I nodded, "Looking for your companion, I know, do you have anything that your companion has used?" β
Sergio went out, and the only people in the room were me and the timid old G.
I smiled and squatted down and said, "Hello, old G, you shouldn't be afraid of me, I'm a disabled person......"
Old G looked at me carefully with wide eyes and said, "I don't know why, I feel uncomfortable when I see your cloak, you take off your cloak." β
I immediately took off my black cloak and threw it aside, smiling and saying, "What now?"
Old G looked me up and down, nodded, and said, "Well, I'm not afraid now." Are you disabled...... It's pitiful, but I don't have any change on me now......"
I angrily put on my black cloak again, feeling insulted.
"Old G, I really can't see that you are so naughty, look at your former and backward looks like a dog, wait for your memory to recover and see how embarrassed you are to pretend between A and C in front of me. I said indignantly.
Old G looked up at me curiously: "Am I amazing?"
I glanced at him, "Generally." β
Old G let out an "oh" and said, "Then you should be my little brother, right?"
I immediately jumped up: "Damn! Amnesia still takes advantage of me! Obviously you are my little brother, okay!"
Old G let out another "oh", looking thoughtful, and after a while, he suddenly covered his head.
I said, "Why, I didn't hit you." β
Old G said bitterly: "It hurts...... It hurts...... It hurts a lot...... I have a headache when I think about remembering the past......"
I "cut" and said, "Then let's wait until it doesn't hurt, I can't stand you......"
Old G looked at me and said, "Hey, that...... What's your name?"
I looked at him, then at the black cloak on me, and after thinking about it, I took off the black cloak and wore only a linen shirt full of holes, and said, "My name is Emmons." β
Old G let out an "oh" and said, "Emmons ......"
I said, "What?"
Old G said timidly: "I have a headache ......"
I said, "I know, get down to business." β
Old G thought for a while and said, "That...... Can you rub my head?"
Me: "......"
Damn old G, undisciplined old G, unlucky old G, pit daddy's old G, oh rubbing old G, old G, old G......
I cursed and rubbed the guy's temples, and the guy actually closed his eyes and praised him as if he was enjoying it.
If I didn't want you to recover your memory as soon as possible so that you can get out of here quickly, I wouldn't ......
The door creaked open, and then I turned my head in shock, and saw for the first time Finn, who had entered, with a look of horror and disdain on his face, and he quickly took a sip, turned his head and ran out, and said as he ran: "So hello, I really misunderstood you, I ...... you."
