Chapter 15: Earthwalker (Collect)
Levi interrupted him suddenly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Don't you find our current conversation, Monsieur Antoine, a little awkward? But this is not reciprocal, at least I don't understand many of your words, and I don't know how to answer. Let's go the other way...... "He intends to take the initiative."
If the other party takes the lead in the conversation, he will inevitably face more difficulties. Levi didn't feel like he could be fooled around every level like this. If one of you accidentally says something wrong, then things will be difficult to do.
He understands where he stands.
The meeting with the mysterious old man in front of him should be the biggest crisis since he crossed over. There is a good chance that the other party will discover his secret: "Levi" is dead, and now he is from another world.
This one is one of the easiest to spot this - wizards are recognized as the most learned group in the Roland world, the archarcanist with the surname of Ash, and the leader of wizards.
Not to mention, "he" must have seen Levi's materials.
"Let me tell you a little bit about myself. Presumably you must have investigated me before you stalked me, and you already know everything about my past. As you can imagine, Levi Arthur was a very immature man in the past. He was like a spoiled child, free and free, doing whatever he wanted. Although he was young, he took over his father's responsibilities and became the twentieth leader of the Arthur family, with a huge territory. But he was not successful. There was a deliberate pause, "It's just that people will always grow up." Half a year ago, when I saw the flood and the people under my rule were in shambles, something seemed to have touched me in the depths of my heart. It occurred to me that it was the hard work of these people all year round that allowed me to eat, drink, and enjoy the best of the place. But in that moment, I couldn't do anything about their suffering. He elongated his tone, and the whole person lowered his head.
"I still remember a mother holding her dead, swollen child who had been soaked in the flood and stayed there all day. Her face, distorted by pain, like a needle, was always drilling in my mind. For a while, I dreamed of her in the middle of the night! Therefore, when the flood occurred, I resolutely provided relief to the victims despite the opposition of others. It was this act that allowed me to meet that person. ”
Levi was at this moment.
"It was also about the same night, and I was staring out the window in a daze, when he showed up at my bedside. Then in my amazement, he said to me, 'Boy, do you crave power, the power to change all this'. He deliberately slowed down his voice, as if unconsciously imitating, "Then the man in the black robe said to me that the greatest power in this world is the wisdom that transforms the world! So, he went out of his way to find me and wanted to give me everything he knew. I was so confused that I didn't know how to respond. Anyway, he came to my room every night for more than a month. ”
The lord tilted his head to the side, as if he was immersed in the memories - in fact he was afraid of being seen his face smiling hard.
"It's right there. Pointing to the table and chair on the other side, he sighed and repeated: "It was there that he told me about positivism and scientific experiments. Then, when I could get acquainted with it, he gave me a few words and left the place. I don't know why, but at that moment I felt like maybe I'd never see him again. There is no master-apprentice between me and him, but in my heart, he is my master and will always be my master!"
When Antoine saw him say this, he was already a little choked up, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. After Levi spoke, he tried to interrupt several times, but each time he held back his words.
Although the story of the prodigal son's return is not new in the eyes of a person as experienced as him. But the vivid "interpretation" of the person in front of him still touched him a lot. At this moment, Antoine's gaze at Levi softened even more - he thought that Levi understood more deeply than before.
“...... He told me that sentence before he left. Alas, I still don't know his name. Levi smiled "self-deprecatingly".
His smile was "bitter".
“...... In him, I felt as if I saw my father. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked eagerly, "You seem to have told me a name just now—Yaheng Shadow Moon!"
His tone suddenly softened again, "I can hear from your words just now that you know about him. Can you tell me about him?" Levi looked at the other with an expectant expression.
He was sure that every word of the above was absolutely sincere—only for the last one.
Antoine took over, "Son, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." I don't know much more about him than you do. Knowing his name is just a coincidence. Let's put it this way, I know his deeds well. But I haven't met him yet. Otherwise, they will not go out of their way to follow you and seek the opportunity to meet him directly. After a pause, "That's not the most important thing, though. Most importantly, it is the continuity of your earthwalkers. Although, I am a little surprised why he chose you as the object of inheritance for this generation. But if you really use what he has taught you to benefit the people here, that's a great thing. ”
"That's a shame. ”
Levi sighed - he had finally passed the level.
Just now, he was gambling: betting that the other party didn't know that person very well. When it comes to telling the story, many of the details provided are ambiguous. Even if he found out that something was wrong, he could not be accused of lying. As a result, he really made the right bet.
- "Earthwalker." ”
The Lord pondered these four words, remembering them along with the name "Aheng Shadow Moon", and suddenly remembered another old man who mistook him for "someone behind him": Benson Limestone.
Levi knew that both this old hunter and the Great Arcanist in front of him were obviously well-informed elders with rich life experience. At the same time, they determine that they have the shadow of that person, and they can also say the name of that person. It means that this bit must exist. Moreover, he understood some principles similar to positivism, and put them into practice, and made some achievements, although they are not widely known.
Levi was not surprised by this - the technology tree in this world was high enough, and it was only natural that there would be one or two forerunners like Darwin and Newton.
After winning the trust of the other party, Levi and Antoine got along very well. When he knew the inside story of the other party, his expression really changed dramatically. In short, he didn't sleep that night.
After that, there were a few days a month when they would meet once a month. The content of the secret meeting, except for the two of them, naturally only God knows.
