XII. The Logic of Men
"I knew you would say that, but thank you. Asa looked at Gru and smiled.
Maybe it was because of the empathy of the people who possessed the leaves of the World Tree and the fluctuations of the sun's well, or maybe it was because of true meditation, even if others didn't know it, he could clearly feel the changes in Gru's body. He could clearly feel that although Gru was still there like a statue, in fact, his body, which had been eroded by the dark star, was rapidly recovering, and the huge vitality in his body was also recovering. He knew he was going to recover, and that's why he was able to keep his composure.
"Don't thank me. You saved me twice, how can I let you be captured as cannon fodder by these guys who are full of big words and are arguing with people here?" Gru didn't laugh, just glanced coldly at the few people around him.
"How is that possible?" Elder Lloyd looked at Gru as he stood up from the altar, his face wrinkled into a heap, as if he was about to fall to the ground. "The water of the Sun Well and the leaves of the World Tree, those are the divine powers that can only be fused with the bloodline of the purest elven royal family......"
The Pope, the faces of the two Tower of Tooth Towers were ugly, and Lancelot's face could no longer be described as ugly, and those who had not seen it would never have imagined that such an expression would appear on a person as resolute and deep as him. It was the expression of watching someone I knew turn into a monster, amazement, fear, disbelief.
"Oh, is this General Gru, the current leader of Oufu? Adelly looked at Gru, his eyes were like water, and his voice was the same, like a pool of hot springs with hundreds of buckets of honey, which could dip a man in the middle and turn it into a puddle of mud at any time, "But...... There's a discussion for everything, isn't it? You can't just say that......"
"Just by my words. β
Gru's voice was as cold and hard as ten thousand years of granite, as soon as he opened his mouth, Adley immediately felt unstuned, and his eyes immediately became stagnant, this is the gap in momentum, instinctive retreat, just like no matter how sassy the golden rooster does not dare to scratch his head in front of the lion tiger, his eyes are rampant and devastating until he sees the deepest part of Adrid's eyes. "I'll give you another sigh, I won't kill women. But it's just on the premise that the other party doesn't take the initiative to find death. β
The face of the water tower tower master suddenly turned pale. She had already grasped a scroll behind her back with one hand, but she didn't have the courage to pull it out.
Not only that, but just as she was speaking, a drop of water could be felt on the back and neck of Lord Granden, the Pope, and Lancelot. A grandmaster-level magician using such suggestive tricks should have been absolutely sure not to be noticed.
The other three also sensed Adrid's hints, but none of them made a move. Because they have a stronger feeling on the other side, and they definitely can't make a move.
The Lord of the Grandon Tower just had a vague feeling that even if he made a move, it might be useless, and this person's momentum had already shown enough strength. And the Pope can clearly feel that the breath of the dark star that was originally filled in his body has trickled down, and now it seems that he does not have the momentum of one person in the glorious castle in the past, the one-faced necromantic five, it is not compelling, but in a deeper feeling, they all understand that he can only be stronger than that day, as a top martial artist, an opponent who has fought to the death of each other, Lancelot's feeling is undoubtedly the clearest, and it can be seen from his expression.
The contrast in force had been reversed in an instant, and all three of them had all looked at Lord Porugan, who seemed to be the only one who could talk to Gru now.
Without their signal, Lord Porugan had already run to Gru and said, "It's great that you're okay, Lord Gru, but the current situation is really not good, not that the situation at this time is the situation of the entire continent, so please ...... calmly."
Gru just glanced at him, and Lord Porugan's mouth immediately closed. The expression on his face distorted, and he looked back at the Pope, who sighed heavily, and said as if to come to a strong conclusion: "It seems that it is good enough to be calm enough." β
No one spoke again, and after a while, the Pope spoke, and asked slowly in a hoarse voice, "Do you really understand what you are doing?"
"Of course. Gru replied lightly.
"Well, then I don't have anything more to say. The Tao is different, and any words are nonsense. The Pope's voice grew hoarse as he looked at the two Masters of the Tower of Teeth, "What about you two?"
"You're right, it doesn't seem to make much sense to say anything, this is not a person who can understand the truth. Adel's face was still pale, and he looked at Gru viciously.
Everyone was silent, this was actually not a question of whether he could understand the reason, but he didn't bother to listen to it at all.
When the fist is big enough, no matter how reasonable the truth is, it is not called a reason, at least not a truth that can produce any practical effect, and everyone present is a very reasonable person, so naturally they understand this truth better.
Ever since that moment, Elder Lloyd had not said a word, but stood there trembling like an old tree that had withered and could fall down at any moment, his cloudy old eyes constantly looking at the people present, and he slowly gestured to the Pope.
"Alright, tell us your plans when we're done, maybe...... We will cooperate with you. The Pope sighed deeply and turned to walk under the tree, his steps staggering slightly.
This is no longer the only way to go, and there is no only choice, but it is not easy to decide that I choose this method first. The two Tower Masters followed him, and Elder Lloyd gave Gru a strange look, then turned around and left with Lua and Kailin.
Lancelot was the last to leave, looked at Gru with strange eyes, shook his head, and said, "I actually have a long doubt, you are really human...... No, is it really a normal living creature of flesh and blood?"
In a short time, only Sandru, Lord Porugan, Asa and Gru were left on the huge ancient tree of war.
Starting with Gru and speaking, Sandru's gaze and attention are the same as those of the others. was completely attracted to him and was stunned, and it was only at this time that he could sigh with a long sigh with emotion: "It's really the age of young people." β
His expression was already much lighter, with more exhaustion, just now his mental and physical magic collapsed to the limit, the necromancy of the self-mutilating body was the price of increasing the mana at the loss of life force, and it was not just as simple as a tooth and a finger that was pulled out, if it really continued like that, maybe there would be no need for the Pope to make a move.
Lord Porugan's face was not good-looking, but he was not like the Pope and Lancelot, he was undoubtedly emotionally inclined to Asa, but under the powerful logic of his huge head, feelings were absolutely not enough to affect values and choices, a friend, in any case, could not compare to the whole of Oufu and thousands of other people, and now it was completely up to himself, even in such a situation that was extremely unreasonable and did not conform to his efficiency aesthetics, at least emotionally speaking, he was much more relaxedγ
Asa and Gru didn't blame him in the slightest, in a way this was an extremely simple person, ten times simpler than his mind, and could predict his stance and reaction. It's also so simple that people can be defenseless.
"Do you have a way to deal with that monster?" asked Gru, looking at Asa.
"Nope. Even the elves can only choose to join forces with Lancelot and them, is there a better way for me?"
"Of course not. β
"It seems that we think the same thing. β
"Yes. β
"Excuse me......" Lord Porugan asked in a very careful tone, his already big eyes were now so wide that they almost fell out, even if he was simple, his thinking ability was definitely not simple, he had already guessed something from these conversations between the two, "Is your so-called arrangement actually not arranged?" Or can you say that in fact, what you want to do is similar to what they want to do?"
Asa thought for a moment and nodded with a wry smile, "Maybe you can say the same." β
"What?" Sandru almost jumped.
"I'll do everything I can to stop that monster, and if there's really no way, then as they hope, I'll have to fight with my own life. β
"Are you stupid, boy, now you can take advantage of the opportunity to flee to the Far East......" shouted Sandru.
"Can't escape. That guy was right, it's okay to die, but the most important thing is not to escape. β
"What's the difference between what you're doing and what Magnus and they're doing?"
"Of course it's different, that's what they told me to do, and now I'm doing it myself. β
"It's all the same, you idiot. Sandru was almost furious.
No matter what I do, as a human being, the end result is not death? The result is never important, the important thing is whether I am doing the process according to my own will. So all I can say is that I try not to die. Asa said slowly, his voice soft, but the weight of each word was incomparably heavier, as a true man should be, "But when he dies, he dies." After all, there is no way to die without dying. β
"You ......"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and that's enough. Asa looked at Sandru and smiled, and said lightly, "And it doesn't have to really catch your life, and that thing isn't really the king of the dead yet." Naturally, my plan is a little different from theirs......"
Sandru's face flushed but he didn't speak again, no amount of persuasion was useless for someone who really knew what he was doing.
"I still say the same thing, as long as I don't die, I won't let you die. Gru nodded.
Silently, Asa also nodded heavily: "Thank you." β
This is a person who knows what he is doing, and no matter how many other languages are other than these two words, it is nonsense.
"The logic of these men, sometimes it is really too unreasonable beauty. Lord Porugan shook his head and sighed with a bitter face, and then couldn't help but nod, "But what...... This is really a man's logic. β
