Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Orlando thinks the same as Lorelai's remaining consciousness, and it is too wasteful to use soul energy to make zuò dimensional bags and magic items. The quality of soul energy is destined to be the best carrier of strange and holy things.
"No matter how good the material is, what is the use if you can't make the best use of it? Lorelei has fallen, and her soul will still fall into my hands. Feeling the soreness and numbness in his limbs gradually dissipate, Link wanted to get out of bed and move his muscles.
Orlando can't think of a rebuttal, the words are good, but even if you want to use it, you have to make something more useful, as a craftsman, you can use other materials to make zuò, there is no need to waste soul energy. Thinking of this, Orlando secretly laughed at himself in his heart for being nosy, after all, this was Link's own decision, Lorelei's soul energy was already his, and what he wanted to do had nothing to do with him, what he should be concerned about at the moment was Link's next whereabouts.
Walking around the yard with Link, Orlando asks him what his plans are for Valolet's affair.
"What are you going to do...... "The four gods who were the temporary divine power supply had already decided for him, "I heard that the undead were rampant in Crumenberg on the way to Vaolet, and I wanted to go over and take a look." ”
Orlando immediately remembered what Finn had mentioned in the basement of Elsie's house, and the boy had used the word 'horrible' to describe it, though he didn't think it was anything, but it was ...... I really can't see that Link will be the kind of character who kills decisively.
Considering Nature's good-talking personality, Orlando decided to take it a step further: "I heard Finn say that you killed a team of Cronberg knights in Bone Hill......"
Link stopped and looked sideways at Orlando, who had a calm expression, "As a half-elf who has lived for two hundred years, you shouldn't be as ignorant as that kid from Finn?"
"What do you mean......?"
"Whether those people are fakes or belong to Kronberg, I will not spare them as children of nature. Link knew why Finn was scared, and he pretended not to care on the surface. But the boy was no longer as willing to treat him as a compatriot when he was in the old town of the river valley, "They specifically look for the Otherworlders and trick them into the Bone Hill by leading the way, Finn must have said that." ”
Oran nodded, he had heard the rumor that a group of people were making trouble for the Otherworlders at the junction of the three major territories, and he originally thought that they were outcasts who hated the Otherworlders. After Finn told the inside story, Orlando immediately guessed why the outcasts were picking on the Otherworlders, the Weavers, which was the biggest difference between the Otherworlders and the natives of Edgar. Including the one in front of him, if he was not from another world, things would definitely not go so smoothly, and the gods' foreknowledge can block many things that are unfavorable to him in the bud. If Link is not from another world, let alone the fallen Lorelei, I am afraid that he will not even survive the undead siege of Grantham Fortress......
Just as Orlando thinks so, Link explains why he killed those people.
"My reason for killing them is simple. Otherworldly people aside, the mere fact that they collaborate with the undead is unforgivable. Knowing that their compatriots are being ravaged by the undead, they shamelessly cooperate with the undead. ”
"They just want to live. Orlando sighed, it was instinct to do this, no one wanted to die.
Perceiving the surroundings, there was no one else in the entire courtyard except for the two of them, and Link continued: "Those people are just chess pieces, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is Sevis. ”
Orlando looked surprised. Follow Finn's description of Link. Coupled with his observations over the years, he would never put up with it just because Servis was a nobleman. With Link's strength. Even if Servis were killed, those nobles would not openly oppose the children of nature for the sake of a mere earl?
"There are as many displaced people as there are to protect themselves like that, and if you don't remove the nobles who command them behind your back, this kind of thing will be staged again and again in the big 6. That's why I killed them. Although he has his own anger and selfishness, it is more to kill chickens and monkeys, intimidate those who are willing to be nobles and lackeys, and deliberately create the illusion that the children of nature hate a person who collaborates with the undead. ”
"Then you let Cervis go......" Orlando vaguely guessed Link's purpose, but he didn't dare to jump to conclusions.
"Servis is just one of thousands of nobles. Not to mention killing one, even if I kill ten or a hundred, it can only play a role in venting anger, and will not do much to change the situation. I kept him because I wanted him to deter the nobles who secretly mingled with the spirits of the dead. ”
Is that really the case...... Orlando was in his heart, would things really be as simple as Link thought?
"The nobles, like the merchants, can win them from the undead as long as they are given a way to live and profitable. Link himself knew that nothing would be done with just one Servis, his plan was only to use Valolet as a starting point to keep Servis alive, but he could just use his handle, and if he changed his mind and was more ambitious, wouldn't it be asking for trouble.
The conversation was hard to go on at this point, and Link suggested that he wanted to take a stroll outside and see how the expansion and recruitment were going these days. Orlando pulled a piece of paper out of his coat pocket.
"What is this?" Link took and looked at it, writing Finn's name, where he lived, and a number of them.
"Temporary proof of residence, which is checked and replaced every month to prevent someone from impersonating. The boy went up, and I thought you might be able to use it, so I stayed. ”
Is this an ID card from another world, it's quite interesting. Link stuffed the paper into the gray pocket hanging from his waist, Orlando was puzzled, why did he put it in the dimensional bag? Is it for fear of losing it? If you really want this kind of thing, go and talk to Sevis, and it is estimated that the city lord will immediately send Link a certificate of permanent residence.
"There are a lot of people in the market, and I'm afraid of losing it. Orlando's glance was too obvious, and Link patiently explained.
"Do you need me along?"
"No, not many people know me, and if you follow me, my identity may be revealed. Link declined the half-elf's kindness and walked out of the courtyard with his feet already restored.
Knowing that Link doesn't want people to follow, Orlando can only watch his back disappear, secretly following this kind of thing is to divide the occasion and the object, the strength of the child of nature is above himself, or don't play with fire.
In order not to be seen by the guards, Link activated the vaporization technique as he passed through the hall, swaggering past the centurion who had just returned to the mansion.
There weren't many people in the northern city where the aristocracy lived, and Link ascended to the sky and looked down on the city from a high vantage point. Indeed, as Orlando said, in just ten days, the expansion had already begun, and it was in full swing, most dramatically in the area that extended from the Artisan Quarter, where there was a crowded temporary market, which looked like a truly living human settlement compared to the previously regular but lifeless Valolet.
It's decided, go there first!
Almost without any resistance, Link passed through the translucent barrier and flew directly over the market, he spotted a place with a relatively dense number of people to land and appear, everyone was busy with their own business, and there was no one more person around him.
Link took a closer look, and most of the people in the market were foreign business travelers. From Orlando, I learned that there were only a few caravans that could enter the Valolet, and the other caravans did not dare to stay overnight even if they passed by, fearing that they would be robbed by the people entrenched in the forest. Now there were so many merchants with their own carriages, obviously from other places, probably because they had heard about Valolet, Link thought, his eyes swept randomly over the stall, and unexpectedly an object appeared that he had not expected—a toothbrush. The wooden handle, the brush head made of bristles, look at the hardness, it should be bristles.
Remembering that he hadn't brushed his teeth since he came to the Otherworld, Link immediately walked over to the stall selling toothbrushes.
As soon as he saw that there was a business coming to his door, the merchant who specialized in all kinds of daily necessities immediately asked what he wanted to buy with a smile on his face, and he had all the goods here.
Link picked up a bony toothbrush, and the merchant immediately made a five-finger gesture.
"Two Imperial Copper. ”
Link, who didn't have much common sense about Edgar's daily life, didn't bother to bargain, so he directly bought five handfuls and put them into the large-capacity dimensional bag he had just gotten.
The merchant's eyes lit up, magic items, and he introduced other goods to Link more attentively, from cured meat and fruits, to simple maps, travel guides, all kinds of commonly used potions, as well as flint, velvet, oil-soaked torches, and even shelters and tents for sleeping in the wilderness.
Knowing that it might be his own random actions that made the merchant recognize the dimensional bag as a magic item, Link didn't bother to change stalls, and directly bought a set of travel essentials from the merchant, and the merchant was fortunate enough to witness the magical scene of disappearing as soon as he got close to his pocket.
Handing the merchant a gold coin, Link put his hand to his lips and compared it to the man who was clever enough to know what he could and couldn't say.
The merchant took the gold coin with a red face and nodded repeatedly. The total value of these things sold by him is a few tens of silver, and the people who can use magic items are either mages or rich people, or people with backgrounds, and he can't afford to be a businessman who buys and sells with a small capital.
Link had barely left the stall when a few people sneaked over.
Soon after the fall of Lorelei, the Battle of Grantham Fortress, the sacrifice of Alex, and the birth of the Child of Nature, there was a major event that shook the Big 6. Now, not only caravans would visit Vaolet, but even some of the homeless people who had not had a chance to enter the city had come to pick up the careless ones in the makeshift market.
The outcasts who were following Link had their sight blocked, only seeing him generously giving money, coupled with the fact that Link was now using his true face, and the mentality of looking down on the Otherworldly made them choose Link as their target. As a 'fat sheep', Link naturally noticed what kind of goods the guy who was following him was, and the good mood that he had planned to go shopping again suddenly disappeared. (To be continued!)
