Chapter Fifty-Eight: Acting
"And the hole cards?" said the skeleton in amazement, "If that's the case, just show the hole cards! Why did she let those soldiers escape and end up all of them?"
"Because she needs a knight who is truly worthy of entrusting her life!" Rong Rong sighed, "I just retold all their conversations to you with lip reading, I think you should know the current situation of the Atlantean family by now, right? For now, in addition to confirming the situation of the Atlantean family as soon as possible, the most important thing is to need a group of knights who can be truly relied on, otherwise, in this complicated form, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a traitor like Alpha and the head of the knight order."

"So......" the skeleton hesitated, "was that Nereus's test?"
"So to speak!" Rong Rong said a little speechlessly, "but to be honest, neither Nereus's test nor the IQ of those soldiers is very good!"
"How?" asked the skeleton curiously.
"In the current situation, it is obvious that many forces are involved in the encirclement and suppression of the Atlantean family! In such a situation, no matter what the purpose, the news should be strictly blocked, so as not to suffer the impact of public opinion! And the best way is to install a trumped-up charge, or pass it on to others-such as the so-called 'enemy' that Nereus said can only protect the human race on the continent by relying on their family's resistance!" Rong Rong said with some disdain, " And because of this, all those who know should be on the list of those who have been killed! And in this case, there is actually only one way left -- and that is to follow Neros to the dark with all his might!"
"After all, if the Atlantean family can survive this battle, then the benefits of the soldiers who follow Nereus's side can be imagined!" Rong Rong continued, "But on the contrary, if they run away at will, isn't this just a loose live target?
"But......" the skeleton frowned, "and while few people choose to stay, doesn't it mean that someone is reliable if someone is willing to accompany Neros through the difficult times, and why would you belittle her strategy so much?"
"Anyone with some brains will choose this path - maybe there will be loyal people among them, but I think if there are some opportunistic people mixed in with it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to identify, right?" Rong Rong suddenly looked at the skeleton and said, "For example, you also stopped Neros and his party, but why didn't they flee like they did now, but they all united to defend Neros?"
The skeleton was stunned for a moment, not knowing why it suddenly pulled on him, but he still honestly returned: "There was a soldier who took the lead and ignited everyone's emotions and made them willing to live and die with Nereus!"
"So, this is the 'cleverness' of those soldiers!" Rong Rong laughed, "If they are so loyal, why are they not as generous and heroic as they are when facing these pursuers?
"Yes!" the skeleton wondered, "why is that?"
"The reason is very simple!" Rong Rong sneered, "Because you showed great power at the beginning, let them subconsciously recognize the situation and know that they can't be your opponent! As soon as they saw that they would not chase and kill the escapees, they thought that they had a chance to live, and naturally their original nature was exposed at once!"
"So......" the skeleton thought, "when they face me, it's not because of how loyal they are, it's not because of how fierce they are, but because they think death is coming, so they have a final madness?"
"Correct explanation!" Rong Rong affirmed, "So, do you think that in this case, the so-called 'loyal' people recruited can really determine their character?"
"That's right!" the skeleton nodded in agreement, "That's exactly what it looks like!, however, it seems that these soldiers, like me, didn't figure out the 'joints', so they all died here in vain without even resisting!"
"However, Neros is still young now, and it can be regarded as a talent to think of this!" Rong Rong held his chin with his hand and said to himself with some interest, "However, what I care more about is her rationality!"
"Rational?" the skeleton felt confused again, unable to keep up with Rong Rong's leaping thoughts.
"Why, isn't it?" Rong Rong explained slowly, "she didn't completely trust these soldiers after facing your affairs like ordinary children, but she saw the essence of the matter very rationally, and realized that their so-called loyalty was just a manifestation of helplessness in the face of life and death!
"But looking at the results, everyone didn't pass the test!" said the skeleton with some rejoicing, "but fortunately, these guys don't have such a high IQ, otherwise, it would really be difficult to identify the loyal and opportunistic among them!"
"Actually, this is also because Nereus acted well!" Rong Rong glanced at the skeleton lightly and said, "Although the way she handles things is still very rusty, and some details are not very well done, but her performance is really vivid!"
The skeleton's eyes widened in amazement, "Acting?"
"Don't you think that if the Atlantean family is really as powerful as they say, do you think that she will have fewer means to save her life?" Rong Rong glanced at the skeleton and continued, "But from the beginning to the end, except for using the protective shield you gave her once, he just took a big push of flashy garbage scrolls! Although the effect is very cool, but the power is really not good! I don't believe that the Atlantis family will only give her the only heir of the family such a garbage prop!"
"But ......," the skeleton said weakly, "maybe the rulers of the Atlantean family think that the name of the family can deter some ghosts with ulterior motives?"
"Hehe......" Rong Rong sneered, "Lord Skeleton Emperor, you are so naïve! Do you think that a family that is about to suffer the scourge of extermination, will offend fewer people? In this case, in order to prevent some enemy dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry, then, will the family still give less of the so-called ultimate means of saving lives? But what about her, how many props have been used from beginning to end? Isn't this obvious? Besides, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if the Atlantis family really didn't have props for her, doesn't she still have the 'secret treasure' Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle you just gave her?
