Chapter 3 Diversion
When a group of people comes to a fork in the road and doesn't know which way to go, if one person is very firm and quietly chooses one of the paths, there is a good chance that the group will follow. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this is the psychology of blind obedience in the face of uncertainties. This kind of psychology will also be reflected in other situations, such as the current Fahnie, who is not deeply involved in the world, and she is convinced of the correctness of Li Yun's analysis, so this girl who is not stupid chooses to rely on a man from another world who has only known him for a few hours. Of course, Li Yun's honesty and his special circumstances, as well as the use of Fahni, are also many reasons for Fahni's decision. However, it has to be said that this trust still seems a bit exaggerated and bizarre. Even if the two look back on it many years later, they still say with emotion that it would be difficult to establish a deep friendship and trust so quickly if it was someone else or on other occasions or even another similar inexplicable meeting. If you have to find a reason, then you can only say that this is the arrangement or fate of fate.
"We're not going to Neverwinter! we're going to Nesmai, the royal capital, instead!" Li Yun suddenly made such a decision.
"There, Sutton is waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net, what are we going to do there?" Fahney really didn't understand what Li Yun's head was thinking.
"Everything changed when your father's servant risked his life to tell you that Nesmail was a trap. It's not difficult to guess your movements, and now, Hui Wudong is the real self-defeating net. Our choice to go to Nestmann was not only unexpected by Sutton, but more importantly, we needed to know more about the truth. Moreover, only there will be a chance that you will be able to reclaim the knighthood. ”
"So what are we going to do exactly?" Fahni still didn't understand how she could reclaim the title without the support of her family.
"Let the king be the arbiter and pull the temple into the water, no one can slander the authenticity of your identity!" Li Yun said in a shocking voice.
"Ahh "Is it possible to have the king as the arbiter?"
"We want to make it possible, you are a nobleman with a title, you have the right to demand the king's approval, and only the king can overcome the union of Sutton and the nobles. I've even figured out the best ending. ”
"I inherit the title and take back control of House Anvenska, will Sutton and his accomplices be punished as they deserve?"
"No, as an ambitious king, he cares more about how much a decision will bring him and the kingdom. He would never give up on someone as capable as Sutton and let Anvinska's leader be replaced by a stinking little girl like you. Sutton's plot against your father will only serve as a lever for him to better control Sutton. You know, one of the abilities of a successful king is to manipulate a 'double-edged sword' like Sutton. The best we can get is an empty title and some worthless possessions from Anvinska. Alternatively, the king will generously reward you with a barren land or a place that is not within the borders of Nesshriel at all. That's it, it is still under the suppression of the aura of righteousness that the king can let go. ”
"Huh?" Fahni was speechless, Li Yun's analysis made her extremely disappointed in the future.
"You see, we're fighting for our lives and a chance to take on the enemy, not an outright victory! Because it's a long struggle, and in the first round, we lost too completely. ”
“...... Got it, so let's go to Nesman?"
"No, how far is the nearest town ahead, and is your maid always by your side?"
"Stone Tower, we should be able to get there before the sun goes down. Is there anything wrong with Elsara's maid who is always by my side?"
"I'm just worried that you're being eyelined by Sutton. When you arrive in Stone Tower Town, you will sell your clothes, jewelry, and everything you can on your body if you can. I suspect Sutton has manipulated these objects, and I don't want our whereabouts to be secretive. Remember, buy before you sell, because there's likely to be someone in Sutton in town who will see through your actions and act again. Leave as soon as you buy the necessary items, don't stay overnight in the town, it's not safe!Continue on your way in the direction of Neverwinter. In order to avoid revealing the target, I will not enter the town and wait for you on the road ahead. ”
"It's so complicated, why do you have such a delicate mind?" asked Fahni with a sigh.
"Survival needs, years of accumulation, if not for moral considerations, the best thing to do would be for Lana and Aishara to continue to Neverwinter by car, 1, attract firepower, 2, lighten the load, and I will protect you to get to Nesmai in the shortest possible time. But I know you won't agree to such a cold-blooded decision, because it means that your maid and friend have little chance of survival!" Li Yun did not intend to make his image tall in Fahni's heart. What Fahne needs most now is to fully recognize the darkness and treachery of human nature, which is conducive to rapid growth. And Li Yun himself is also a little selfish. As the saying goes, it is most difficult to be favored by a beauty, and he doesn't want this little girl to change from affection and admiration to admiration. He has dreams and is responsible for his commitments, so he is not ready to fight for a certain creature in this world. All he can do is do his best, he can't do anything, he hopes he can do it - ruthless!
Li Yun's coldness really startled Fahni, and she suddenly realized that she knew too little about this man!
Feeling Fahni's fear, Li Yun's comfort was very different. "There is a saying in the world where I live that in order to win in battle against the enemy, you must first have fangs and claws that are sharper than the enemy. Bad mercy is weakness, and then you are not qualified to fight a murderous enemy. ”
"Is it possible that, in order to win, you can do whatever it takes, and you have to become as vile and murderous as your enemies?"
"It's a philosophical question. Virtue and victory, morality and hope, each person grasps the scale of his own approval. This is one of the differences between people. In fact, don't you think that you have no right to judge the good and evil of others by your own standards? In the case of Sutton, in your eyes, he should be punished for killing his own brother. But, in the eyes of King Nethriel, Sutton is worth much more than a little girl like you!"
"So, if Sutton really killed my father, shouldn't a wicked man like him be punished?"
"No, I didn't mean that. I just want to remind you not to get too attached to the justice that has been instilled in you since childhood, that will make you too paranoid. Competence is not equal to power, but many times it is true that competence affects power. Killing people should be punished, which is not only a matter of morality, but also a matter of rules for coexistence. Alas, it's too complicated, let's not go too far, let's start step by step, you might as well discuss the details of the steps with your friends. ”
Seeing that Li Yun was tired of talking any further, Fahni was silent for a while, but then opened the car door at the front end, called Lana, who was riding a chocobo like a super-large ostrich, and began to mumble and discuss. During this period, although he never looked back, Li Yun sensed Lana's gaze looking at him more than once. It was a wonderful skill he had just discovered. This means that Li Yun can easily learn that others are snooping on him too often or for too long, and in front of him, any tracking will have nowhere to hide.
As a result of the deliberations, Lana, who was also suffering from the loss of her father, agreed to act according to Li Yun's plan. But she wanted to hear what Li Yun had to say about how she could meet the king. Li Yun's explanation is that the situation is always changing rapidly, and he can only act on the opportunistic. Although Lana was not satisfied with such a reply, she finally chose to carry it out. Li Yun pondered what was missing from the plan, and at the same time began to ask Fahni about the language of the world. Time was spent in a rush with different thoughts.
Out of the forest road is a gentle hilly terrain, yellow, white, purple flowers and oily green grass decorate the small soil bags with vitality, and the faint unknown fragrance in the fresh air makes people smell a kind of indescribable comfort. "What's the name of this animal I'm riding, is this creature rare here?" Li Yun suddenly asked Fahney.
"It's called wurmon, although it's relatively rare, it's not rare, and there are few in captivity, and most of them are wild. Only those who can use specific spells are considered high-quality, and like this one, the ingredients of showing off are far greater than practical. ”
"It turned out to be a chicken rib ride, so I can release it with peace of mind. "Li Yun is a thorough person, and in uncertain circumstances, he doesn't want to make the whole plan miss because of his petty curiosity and greed. As for the clothes on his body, Li Yun had already decided that after the three of Fahney entered the town in a while, he would go around the neighborhood to see if he could find any creatures and use their fur as a substitute.
Stone Tower is a town with low stone walls, with less than 300 households, and the limestone towers that rise over the square are said to have been built by some evil mage who drove his slaves a long time ago, and now it is the best lookout in the area, hence the town's name. The townspeople mainly make a living by growing some crops and medicinal herbs, because this is one of the transit points leading to Neverwinter City from the base of the Mi Silver Mine, and there are all kinds of business trips on weekdays, and Lana and the three of them did not attract too much attention when they entered the town.
While the three of Fahnie were changing their clothes, Li Yun was hunting a badger-like beast in a dense forest dozens of miles away. It is called a beast because of its size and size similar to that of a giant black bear, and its bloody mouth has a depth comparable to that of a wolf's mouth and sharp teeth like a shark. Moreover, it is hard to imagine that this seemingly bulky beast can make itself agile like a sweeping wind. Li Yun specifically provoked and observed one of them, and found that the beast howled to make itself as light as a swallow, which felt very similar to a human chanting magic.
"A beast that can use spells on itself, this world is really refreshing. Li Yun is curious and understands at the same time, which also means that this world can better embody the truth of 'the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest'. He began to understand why humans were cowering in one domain instead of taking over the entire world.
Li Yun's original intention was to hunt a few furs and make simple clothes for himself. As a result, I accidentally discovered another special ability of my own, which is epidermal activation. When a piece of animal skin is on his skin, he can control the connection between the skin and his own skin. In other words, Li Yun can make himself grow and lose hair like a beast, and maintain the true effect of these furs, provided that he covers his body with enough real fur. This important skill, which will become an important problem for Li Yun in the future, can only play a better role in keeping himself secret.
When it was about to get dark, Fahni and the others left Stone Tower Town, and on the way to Neverwinter, they met Li Yun who was waiting in a small forest. At first, the three girls were taken aback by seeing the humanoid monster covered with long hair, and they were relieved to see that it was Li Yun. However, Li Yun found that Lana always looked at him with a strange look. "Is there a problem? I went to find some beast furs to make my makeshift clothes, and I burned the original one. He asked Fahni, a little puzzled.
"Nothing, I just didn't expect you to 'wear' fur like this. And, if I'm not mistaken, this black fur with a slight silver glow is unique to adult long-palate beasts, this animal is powerful and strong, and can inflict wind agility on itself, and it is also quite resistant to spells, making it a rather terrifying creature......"
Li Yun didn't squeak again, in fact, the rather terrifying creature in Fahni's mouth was shattered by his skull with a single shot. If all the so-called terrifying creatures are of this level, then there will be far fewer powerful creatures to look forward to in this world!
