Chapter 1481: The Ballad
"People who have intentions never admit their purpose easily."
Arlene did not accept Ronald's statement at all.
Even though he was sincere, the girl insisted on a certain bottom line that could not be broken, and obviously did not intend to cooperate.
Ronald sighed.
In normal times, he didn't want to use the spirit spell to forcibly control the other party's opening, so he quietly launched the [Angry Original Sin], subconsciously making the other party willing to speak.
"Miss, this news is really important, what do you need me to do to ......"
"Mr. Ronald, wait for me!" Ronald didn't finish his sentence when the explorer suddenly interjected, "I'll talk to Ah Lian, she will understand what you mean." ”
With that, the explorer pulled the girl to the back of the camp, and the two began to whisper.
The explorer kept his voice as low as possible.
But Ronald's excellent hearing made the conversation clear.
"Ah Lian, if this gentleman wants to, there is a way for us to speak!"
"Then he can try his way!"
"I didn't mean that - I mean this gentleman is showing kindness to us, and you are completely unaware of it. Think about it, what would it be like if your kindness was misunderstood by others? ”
"I ......," Ah Lian's tone began to hesitate.
She was going to refute, after all, the insistence in her heart could not be broken through so easily.
But it just so happens that Ronald's psychological cues come into effect.
After a few seconds of silence, Ah Lian finally nodded to the explorer.
"Well, I'll tell him something, but that doesn't mean I'm going to help him find that city."
At the end of the exchange, the explorer and the maiden return to the campfire.
Ah Lian is a straightforward personality and immediately re-establishes a dialogue with Ronald:
"Sir, I can tell you something."
"It's a long-standing folk song that we've sung here, reminding people not to touch dangerous things."
Expressing her attitude, Ah Lian didn't wait for Ronald to speak, and sang directly:
"On the night when the sun sets,
Ancient wise elders, who imprisoned the dark city to the earth.
Icy mist, devouring life,
The long river flows, and the wisdom is consumed,
If it asks for your name, remember not to answer.
……”
This ballad is not too long, and the rhythm is easy to learn and remember.
Ah Lian finished singing this ballad of wariness for future generations in a little more than a minute, and then concluded:
"Anyway, the place in the song is near the plains."
"Aren't you also a wizard? Then you should understand how dangerous things left over from ancient times are, and I advise you not to risk them. As for the guys you're talking about, they're definitely hopeless! ”
After finishing speaking, Ah Lian was reluctant to continue to speak.
She turned back to the tent, and said no more, leaving the explorer to smile at Ronald.
"Mr. Ronald, Ah Lian comes from a traditional forest ranger family, and is usually far away from even the local people of the Southern Continent. She has no ill will towards you, just lived like this all along. ”
Throughout the process, Ronald was observing the psychological changes of these people.
He naturally knew the attitude of the explorer and Ah Lian, so he immediately smiled back:
"I'm grateful to have this kind of news."
"But honestly, I'd suggest you'd better get out of here."
"I'm sure I'm not going to do anything to you, but if I get into a fight with the enemy and someone escapes, I'm likely to run into your team."
Speaking of this, Ronald's expression became serious:
"Since you have been prepared to embark on the road of adventure, then I believe that the situation in the south is also in your eyes, what is the attitude of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] towards ordinary people...... You should know. ”
“……”
Ronald's reminder immediately caused the explorer to fall into deep thought.
Dare to form a team to go deep into the wilderness, of course, he has made detailed preparations, and with the help of information in the circle of explorers, he also roughly understands that Ronald in front of him is not the kind of person with evil intentions.
Compared with the various things he saw and heard in the city under the control of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] before entering the wilderness, the brave and resourceful explorer immediately made a decision.
"Thank you, sir, for the reminder."
"Since this is the case, I will definitely take responsibility for the safety of my teammates."
The explorer simply said goodbye to Ronald and returned to the camp to give orders.
Ronald had thought that the other side would withdraw from the wilderness.
But when he listened closely, he found that the explorer had asked his companions to pack up the camp, not to prepare for the return home, but to set out overnight, up the river and as deep as possible.
For them who go deep into the wilderness.
The actual difficulty of going home and moving on is the same.
Compared with the stable decision to stop here, it is really the choice of this kind of person to move forward bravely.
"Explorer......"
Ronald remembered his former friend and couldn't help but smile slightly.
If he could, he would like to talk to the other person again.
However, now both sides had a reason to act, so after a brief goodbye, Ronald recited the incantation again and flew high into the air with Kostat.
Communication with the explorers took only a short time.
So when Ronald and the others returned to the air, there was almost no change around them, and everything they saw below was the same as when they came.
Under the moonlight, the maid saw Ronald's calm expression and felt in her heart:
"Sir, you seem to have an idea?"
Ronald said bluntly:
"The song Ah Lian sang just now gave me a clue."
Kostadt recalled the lyrics and found no clues to the location of the Holy Capital:
"It should just be a song to warn future generations, and it doesn't clearly indicate the location of the holy capital?"
Ronald directly pointed out his opinion:
"Kostadt, the lyrics say, 'Ancient wise elders, imprison the dark city to the earth.'" What do you think is in front of our eyes that can be related to this description? ”
"You mean ......," Kostadt looked down.
The plains and mountains stand on either side, and the quiet night breeze blows through the air, making a rustling sound as it stirs the towering trees. On the dark earth, only the flowing river reflected the bright stars, which looked like a glowing ribbon wrapped around the earth.
Kostadt's breathing gradually decreased, and everything seemed to be watching the two in the air at night.
In this quiet contemplation, her gaze gradually stayed on the hundred-meter-high giant forest below:
"You mean the trees!"
"That's right." Ronald nodded in acknowledgment of the maid's thoughts, and at the same time manipulated the spell to make the two of them descend, leaning on the woodland at the junction of the ** plain and the mountain range, "These giant trees have grown for a long time, and they are definitely called ancient elders, and at the same time, the plants rooted in the earth are also in line with the description of the lyrics in the latter sentence." ”
Ronald judged categorically:
"Under the premise that the geographical environment is also in line, there are almost no other possibilities!"
