Chapter Forty-Six: Sympathy
The waves were still performing hard, but Hercules had completely calmed down.
He suddenly smiled and said, "After two days of fighting, it's time to relax." Now that old friends have taken the initiative to come to the door, our Purgatory Sect can't help but be a landlord. If Captain Shen thinks that smashing my things here can give your humble heart some comfort, I have no objection. Anyway, I've been living in Beverly Hills for a long time, so it's time to change places and feel the service of other hotels. So...... Just smash whatever you want. β
With a wave of his hand, everyone in the Purgatory Sect stood up and moved out of the way, with a tendency to do whatever you wanted.
Hercules was Hecules after all, and he soon realized what the problem was.
After all, the non-war agreement is valid for both sides, so it is also a common constraint for both sides.
The reason why the Purgatory Sect is now embarrassed by the Broken Blades is not because there are any bugs in the agreement, but because they themselves lost the initiative at the beginning.
On the other hand, this kind of thing is like a forum quarrel, where one side provokes first and the other passively retaliates. The side that retaliates is often furious and out of proportion because it is provoked, while the side that provokes continues to ridicule and irritate because it has taken advantage of it.
It is obviously a fair environment, but it has formed an unfair situation.
In this case, the best thing to do is not to get angry, not to get angry, not to scold, but to calm down first and engage in-for-tat with the other person with the same equal attitude.
You are sarcastic, I am sarcastic, you are sarcastic, I am sarcastic, you scold, I am also scolding, anyway, no one can kill anyone, who can be afraid of whom?
The advantage on the Broken Blades' side is that they play away from home - whoever is away has an advantage when it comes to smashing the field.
The advantage of the Infernal Sect is that they are numerousβquarrels are more than voices and vests.
Since you Shen Yi like to play taunts and pull hatred, then I, Hercules, don't mind playing vulgar with you.
So just like that, the two sides confronted each other, and their mouths began to be unclean.
The Purgatory Sect is certainly acting under the ridicule of the Broken Blade behavior, and its methods are despicable, shrinking like a mouse when fighting, and moving like a thunderbolt when retreating, and the flood waves also counterattack the other party is outflanking and detouring like a forest, endangering local aggression like fire, friendly troops are in difficulty and not moving like a mountain, and the front line collapses and turns like the wind.
The other party said that you are the one who has collapsed on the front line and turned into the wind, and it is obviously you who have been running away, and Hong Lang immediately replied that we used a rally order, so it was not a transfer, but a great leap/advance.
Quarrels are often not rational but cheeky, and Hong Lang's skills in this regard are unique. If the face can add defense, then Hong Lang is a super strong man who has defended more than three hundred.
The two sides are arguing very much, and Wuxue looked at Hong Lang standing in the crowd with a posture of being ten and scolding the invincible opponents all over the neighboring street, and he felt like he was looking at the Jiupin Sesame Official.
He asked Shen Yi, "Don't you think it's boring like this?"
"It's a bit boring. Shen Yi replied with a smile: "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Wuxue thought for a while and replied: "There is a Hollywood awards party downstairs tonight, are you interested in going together to have a good time?"
"Huh?" Shen Yi said in surprise: "I thought you should be that kind of otherworldly immortal-like existence, why do you also like to chase stars?"
"Cut!" Wuxue waved his hand: "We may live in a world full of fairies and ghosts, but we ourselves still grew up in a modern city. I'll admit that there were times when I did exhibit some qualities that didn't fit the spirit of the times, but that was mostly related to the exercises I practiced. Our abilities are not possessed by the laity, but our hearts still belong to the mundane world. β
Shen Yi smiled: "I really didn't expect you to be such a person, when Yi Yu told me about you before, he especially said that you were an unsmiling and elegant character like Ximen Blowing Snow." β
"I did imitate Simon Fuxue in some ways, consciously or unconsciously, after all, he is my idol, but that doesn't mean that I have to be completely him. It's true that I don't smile in most people's faces, but that's just because I haven't come across anything worth talking about...... There are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation for more than half a sentence. β
Saying that, Wuxue raised his glass to Shen Yi, and Shen Yi also smiled: "Since this is the case, let's go around together." β
As he spoke, he looked at Hercules, "Are you interested in going down there with us?"
Hercules snorted coldly: "I'm happy to accompany you." β
He really agreed, and the three of them walked downstairs together, and it was not interesting to think about the two idiots arguing, so they went out. Meryl, worried about Hercules, went out with her. Zhou Yiyu watched Meryl go out, and he followed out.
The two gangs upstairs were still arguing, and when the quarrel arose, they smashed a few pieces of furniture to help the fun, and the Purgatory Sect was not to be outdone and smashed it - no one planned to lose money anyway.
A group of itinerants who made soy sauce were coaxing the seedlings next to them, and they almost didn't write on the top of their heads that they were passing by.
Shen Yi was on the way to the award ceremony in parallel with Wuxue and Hercules, and on the way, they happened to see the person giving sky-high wine and jewelry, and the three of them laughed at the same time - let those energetic guys solve this little trouble.
Beverly Hills hosts a large number of awards galas every year. All kinds of conferences are held here, and groups of dignitaries and rich celebrities come and go, making it the most prestigious award center in Hollywood. So it's much harder to get in and out of such an occasion than to live in Beverly Hills. But with tenderness, none of these problems are a problem.
So strolling through the star-studded convention and exhibition center, the three of them chatted while walking.
"By the way, Wuxue, how did you appear in the Western District camp?" asked Shen Yi at this moment.
Wuxue smiled and roughly explained his intentions. He didn't shy away from Hercules, he guessed this kind of thing anyway.
"It turns out that you are from the Dragon League. Shen Yi let out a low breath.
The organization of the Dragon Alliance, Shen Yizhi has also heard of it, it is the largest adventurer organization in the Eastern District, and its status in the Eastern District is the same as that of the Purgatory Sect in the Western District.
The difference is that the Purgatory Sect itself is an all-regional organization, but it is mainly based in the Western Region, and in terms of the scale of its power, it is actually larger than the Dragon Alliance, but due to its complex composition, it is large and impure, after all, the Purgatory Sect itself also has adventurers in the Eastern Region.
Therefore, if you really want to compare, the Purgatory Sect is superior to the Dragon Alliance in terms of scale, but inferior to its opponents in terms of quality. There are even some adventurers who are both members of the Dragon Alliance and sects, and if they really want to fight on both sides, it is difficult to say who these people will help.
In addition to the Purgatory Sect and the Dragon Alliance, the Southern and Northern Regions also have their own organizations, and their strength is not much worse than the first two. It's just that these big organizations generally don't absorb adventurers below the third difficulty, even if they are purgatory sects, although they have cultivated adventurers below the third difficulty, they must also go through many tests before they can become official members. Speaking of which, when it comes to absorbing adventurers, it is the purgatory sect that has the widest reach.
Because of this, Shen Yi rarely communicated with these organizations before, and it was not until he entered the three difficulties that he began to have formal contact.
"You said you were your teacher who sent you to observe me, who is your teacher?" Shen Yi asked.
Wuxue replied with a smile: "You've seen it, and he helped you once." β
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Arrogant? It turns out that you are a student of Lord Arrogant." β
For arrogance, Shen Yi has always been grateful in his heart. Although he later stopped rescuing Shen Yi because he was afraid of the Supreme Council, it was his duty to save himself, and it was his duty not to save himself, and Shen Yi would never blame him for this.
At this moment, when he heard that Wuxue was an arrogant student, he immediately felt good.
However, he still asked: "We are fighting in the urban world, which is a way to strengthen ourselves, so why do we have to worship any teachers?"
Wuxue smiled: "What brings people together is usually three things. One emotion, two interests, three ideals. Emotional bonds are usually only suitable for small teams, not for large organizations with large numbers, after all, you can't make so many friends at once. As for interests, the Bloody City is not Earth after all. On Earth, we create a company, and then we get the benefits by serving the company and distribute it to everyone according to their contributions. Here, each adventurer is his own boss, and the organization itself does not create benefits, so the collection of benefits is very limited. β
Shen Yi understood: "Therefore, some special relationships and ideas have become the most important link to maintain the existence of the organization. The Sect of Purgatory is based on religious beliefs, and the Dragon League ......"
"It's based on a mentor-apprentice relationship. This time it was Hercules who interjected: "The Dragon League is a very unique organization, and since the vast majority of its members are Chinese, some traditional Chinese culture has been revived in this area. Heaven and earth are the kings and masters, there are no heavens and no earths, no kings and no relatives, and most Chinese do not believe in gods, so the way of master and disciple has become a new important link to maintain everyone. And the apprenticeship itself can also allow some adventurers to learn a lot from those who are strong. They teach them what to do when fighting a powerful enemy, teach them how to fight, and teach them a lot about what they should be aware of in the city. It can be said that the concept of respecting teachers and respecting the way is very prevalent in the Dragon League, which is a belief in itself, making the Dragon League a huge organization that is in no way inferior to the Purgatory Sect. β
"So if I join the Dragon League, I have to worship a teacher?" Shen Yi was very interested.
Wuxue said with a smile: "No one will force you to do this kind of thing, if you don't want a teacher to press on your head, it's nothing." But what I'm going to tell you is that having a good teacher can help you a lot. In fact, although the members of the Dragon League have the power to give up their apprenticeship, few of them use it. Know that the teacher not only teaches you and solves your doubts, but also guides you in the organization. I've only heard of teachers who don't want apprentices, but I've never heard of students who don't want teachers. β
"That's not necessarily, I'm too rebellious, whoever wants to accept me as a student will be killed by me. β
"I see. Wuxue nodded very seriously: "Your whimsical way of doing things will indeed give many people a headache." But it doesn't matter, the city is not without freaks, maybe someone likes you?How about it, are you interested in joining our Dragon League?"
Shen Yi looked at Hercules, and then at Wuxue: "I said...... This guy is around, you invited it so blatantly, right?"
"It's okay, it's not like he doesn't know what I'm here for. I'm optimistic about you, and he has no right to object. β
Shen Yi also smiled: "Then we have to wait until we finish solving the trouble in front of us." As adventurers, the first thing we have to think about is survival. If you don't have a chance to go back alive, then there's no point in anything. β
He was clearly talking about himself, but looking at Wuxue's eyes was giving the same warning.
Wuxue smiled faintly: "This is exactly what I think is a pity." Originally, they were all the best geniuses of the three difficulties, but because of a useless dead ghost, the best people wanted to kill each other...... Maybe it's just fate. β
"That's right, in fact, I've always felt that people like us are better friends than enemies. Shen Yi replied, he looked at Hercules, Hercules actually agreed with him, he said, "If you can, in fact, I would be happy to make you a friend." β
Shen Yi smiled: "But you didn't do that, and the choice is that you are not with me." β
Hercules shook his head: "No, since we entered this world, we have no choice in life. It's a whirlpool of death, and neither you, me, nor him, can escape, at best, it's just who can struggle longer. β
Shen Yi nodded slightly: "That's right." β
Wuxue smiled: "Is this the sympathy of the heroes before the battle?"
Shen Yi replied: "Sort of, it's actually a very good feeling to have the opportunity to sit together and have a good chat." It's a pity that I haven't felt this way for a long time, but I didn't expect to find it from you today. β
Hercules replied, "Me too." β
Wuxue said, "Me too." β
The three of them looked at each other and suddenly chuckled at the same time.
At this moment, the scolding war on the fourth floor was in full swing, and the three people downstairs did not have that hostile and hateful mentality.
At least for this moment, they are happy to let go of all hostility and feel the taste of peace.
They were already in the convention center, sitting in a row of relatively high seats, next to a few familiar but unnamed movie stars.
The three of them are not star chasers, so they are not interested in paying attention to the people around them, and Zhou Yiyu and Meryl quarreled in the back, in fact, they have not stopped quarreling since they came out - most of the time it is Meryl who scolds Zhou Yiyu.
However, as a sectarian saint, Meryl usually speaks the words of sincere prayer, and she is not good at this swearing, so even if she swears, it is mostly a religious curse such as "blasphemer, you will go ......to hell".
It's a pity that Zhou Yiyu doesn't know how much life of the hell demon in his hand is, where would he care about this, the more Meryl taught him, the more he smiled happily, admiring her moving posture when she was angry, and from time to time he also opened his mouth and made a look of reminiscing about the kiss just now.
Gentle is shooting everywhere with the computer, which can be regarded as a live video of a celebrity, although they are all NPCs made in the city, they are also the same as real people.
At this time, a female singer who was invited to the awards party was about to sing on stage, I don't know if it was arranged in advance, or played on the spot, the singer actually said that he would choose three live guests to sing with him.
A finger of her hand landed on Shen Yi, Hercules and Wuxue.
The three of them shook up at the same time, and the sound of cheers was already sounding.
The three of them could only walk up to the podium together.
A well-known song sounded.
The three of them had no choice but to hum casually along with the obviously overexcited singer.
Gentle eyes and quick hands, filmed this scene.
A picture of three people singing together is forever frozen at this moment.

PS: Yesterday the air conditioner was broken, I really couldn't sleep, so I had to go to the bathroom for the night.
When I came back and called my ex-wife, she said, "Isn't there still an air conditioner in the big room? Why don't you go to that room and sleep?"
I was dizzy.
Finally, waiting for the air conditioner to be repaired, I can't write a word about the heat, and it is estimated that there is only one shift today.
