Chapter 7: A Lie Riddled with Loopholes

Vines, grass, moss, and wildflowers that bloomed overnight, the town of Facente, without the necromancer, has returned to the embrace of nature as if it had been scarred by the scars of war. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe dilapidated houses and ruined walls are no longer easily associated with destruction and pain because of their vibrant greenery. After the liberation of those imprisoned souls, it became a free place of life.

The preoccupied Fahne didn't realize what was so special here. Walking on the gravel road crowded with wild grass in the crevices of the stones, she put almost all her energy into thinking.

Li Yun's current conversation partners have been changed to Lana and Sagrema, Fahni's alumni and close friends. "Miss Lana, I need to take a moment from you to explain what I think of your misfortune. Whether my rhetoric is extreme or wrong, please believe that my intentions are good. Of course, corrections are also welcome. ”

"Mr. Li Yun is polite, Fahni has relayed to me your analysis and speculation on this incident, although it is difficult for people to accept, but I have to admit that the possibility that things will develop in the direction you speculated is very high. I have great admiration for your quick thinking and understanding of human nature. We'd love to hear from you. Lana was a little more generous and less shy than Fahney, and her gaze was always straight into the other's eyes.

Nodding, Li Yun said: "Miss Lana, I know that it is also your urgent desire to punish the murderer, you are Fahni's best friend, your friendship is almost equal to your age, except for blood and surname, your relationship is no different from that of real sisters, or even closer." But I still don't agree with the concrete implementation of your revenge plan. Because in the face of cunning and ferocious enemies, you are far more likely to be a burden than you can provide. You may say that you can't and won't abandon Fahney when she's most sad and helpless, when she's most in need of care and help. Besides, you also want to settle the hatred with your own hands. But have you ever wondered what she would do if you were captured by the enemy again, as in the battle in the woods, and the enemy threatened Fahni with his life to make a dilemma?"

Li Yun paused, and then said confidently: "To give a simple example, in the face of danger, I am sure to take Fahni out of the encirclement, but if you are added, the success rate will be discounted." It's a cruel assumption, but you should be aware of where we are and what we are capable of. If you really want to help Fahni, then please don't have any contact with her for the time being, don't let Fahni have any more scruples and worries, find a remote place to live with your family, and wait quietly for news. I suggest this not only for you, but also for your loved ones, whose recklessness will be a disadvantage. I don't think you want to see your loved ones hurt again. ”

"What if I insist?" Lana asked, looking firm.

"Well, you need to know that I am a man who will do whatever it takes to achieve my ends. The moment I made my commitment, it meant that Sutton and his gang had a more ferocious opponent than they were. Anything that stands in the way of my goals will be seen as an enemy by me, and my enemy means that I will be favored by death. Lana, I will not hesitate to give you up if necessary, even if Fahni will hate me in the future. Li Yun's eyes lit up with purple ice chips, and at this moment, no one could ignore his resolute and cold expression.

"Like those ghostly deities who appear as a result of prayers, you just see helping Fahni as a mission. Once the task is over, it is equivalent to breaking free from the shackles of self-principle, is that true?" It is obviously not easy to talk calmly under Li Yun's cold and substantive momentum. Although Lana's legs couldn't help but tremble slightly, her tone of voice finally remained calm.

"Uh-huh, I don't mind you looking at things that way. In fact, I am also a victim, but I have never wanted to put too much thought into the history that has become a thing of the past. What I'm interested in now and tomorrow is what I'm interested in. ”

"So, Mr. Li Yun, why have you shown your concern for us these days? You don't need to move us at all. It took a lot of effort for Lana to ask the question.

"In order for the mission to succeed, I need your trust, or rather, I need Fahni's trust. For relatively sensual women, it is much faster and more effective to treat them with affection than to swear and reason. Besides, I'm also a human being, and if I don't want to do what I can to help, I'm afraid even I will despise whether I have personality problems. Li Yun's words were calm, but his momentum never dropped for half a minute. Of course, he didn't mean to strengthen it any more, because that might really crush the little girl to the point where she couldn't talk.

"Mr. Li Yun, thank you for your candour. I will not give up going to Nesman with everyone, let alone the right to go head-to-head with the enemy. As a descendant of a sword samurai, I've always been annoyed that I wasn't a boy. I am not strong enough, but I have the courage not inferior to anyone. Humiliation and even death, I had long thought about waiting for the worst for myself. If Fahne is going to be troubled and upset by this, then I can only ask her to learn to be patient. In the face of such an encounter, no one is immune. The father's heroic spirit in the sky would never want to see a daughter in the family who is in the face of the enemy and retreat!" Without the slightest drag, Lana's attitude was very decisive.

"Is that so?" as if asking a question, and as if he was just talking to himself. Looking at the sassy heroic spirit, Li Yun smiled softly. "I think we need to get acquainted again, Lana and Miss Anvinska. I wonder how much more you have to hide from me, or how long are you going to hide it?"

Lana was surprised to find that when Li Yun said this, his gaze was as sharp as a blade, and the cold breath was violently released from his body, and the temperature around him dropped significantly, and even the blades of grass were actually covered with a layer of frost. "You, why do you say that? Mr. Li Yun, I am Lana and Sagremar, and Fahni is the heir of the Anvinska family. Lana found herself cowering and her voice trembling.

"I have been pondering the question these days, as the patriarch of a large family with a thriving career, will his daughter be a shy and incapable young lady? The answer is - no! because his daughter was brought up by her father after the early death of her mother, and from an early age she was exposed to the family inheritance and all kinds of people, and she would inherit the title and the position of leader in the future. In such an environment, in intentional cultivation, her character should never be like that. No nobleman would want his team to be relegated to the sidelines and kicked out of the door because of his lack of ability. Moreover, being able to lead a family to strength in a complex situation is definitely not stupid. If a wise and far-sighted father does not have a descendant who is worthy of great responsibilities, it is better to give up his rights and status to the capable descendants of the family to take responsibility, in exchange for the happiness and well-being of the family in the future. So, I never thought that a character like your father would have a daughter like Fahney. Remember the scene in the battle in the woods when I picked up coins and stripped gems from corpses? There was contempt in Fahni's eyes, and yours was normal, if it weren't for the vileness and filth, how could a student at school see that scene without any change? And those killers, why did they capture you alive and kill Fahni, because you are worth much more than you die. I suppose Sutton was trying to coerce you into coercing the subordinates in your family who were loyal to your father into cooperating or relinquishing power? And every time you look at me, thinking that I don't know you without looking, why do you want to know more than anyone else what I am and what kind of person I am? And you did so well today. Under the pressure I deliberately released, could it still be as simple as the nineteen-year-old daughter of a swordsman? When faced with a choice that involves the safety of her family, people will hesitate, and being able to make a decision so quickly shows that she has already considered similar issues and is accustomed to making decisions quickly. Do you need me to continue to find loopholes, such as eating habits, lifestyle habits, etc.?"

Every question Li Yun asked made Lana change slightly. In the end, she couldn't find any reason to refute it, because there were so many loopholes. "I'm sorry, but we don't try to lie to you from time to time......"

"I don't need a reason!" Li Yun interrupted Lana's explanation. "As I said, I don't have much interest in things that are in the past. However, I warn you, Miss Lana, to stop trying to deceive me, which will not only result in me leaving you. If you don't trust each other enough, find a way to solve it, instead of being so distracted. Well, you should now ask Fahney what I just said to her, because it's for you. Maybe you'll like my first offer, but if you've thought about it, come back to me! I'd rather enjoy the scenery on the side of the road than a meaningless or fake conversation. ”

"I would like to ask you, will you still help us as always?" asked Lana as she bit her lower lip and looked at Li Yun with her eyes before moving her steps.

"I never give up on my goal easily, if you can understand what my bottom line is!" Li Yun gradually reined in his momentum and regained his indifference.

For several hours, Li Yun did not say a word to the three girls, and Lana and Fahne talked in low voices.

By the time the small town of Facente was left far behind, it was already noon. Taking advantage of the time before lunch, the three girls reintroduced themselves. Lana, Avanska, Fahney, Grimmar, and her maids, Ashara, and Gis.

In order to show her sincerity, Lana gave Li Yun a detailed account of her true experience. Except for some reliable and loyal subordinates, basically, the situation is not much different from what Li Yun heard before. Lana had returned to Neverwinter to determine the position of her father's other brother, Karel. And along the way, she lost some of her most loyal guards.

"It's obvious!" After hearing Lana's words, Li Yun frowned slightly, and thought about it: "Sutton is now anxious to calm down the Quartet and let the family's various industries return to normal and stable as soon as possible. Only stability and excellence in performance can make the king turn a blind eye and forgive his seizure of power. And catching you will be very helpful in this matter. Moreover, it is impossible for Sutton not to give the king and a few other nobles who secretly support or release water to make such a big deal out, and the benefit of the sale is likely to be the property controlled by your father and your loyal subordinates. In this way, you can please the king and the nobles, and it can disintegrate your actual power, and it will not cause him too much damage, after all, what cannot be in your own hands is no different from someone else's. And Sutton may have another important purpose in capturing you, which is to covet your relationship with the Boulder Dwarves. Hopefully, you'll learn more dwarven artisans and subtle skills. In doing so, there are two things you need to do as soon as possible: appease your loyal subordinates and use the power in your hands to convert your estate into money. This process must be carried out cautiously, and should be carried out in the form of a loan from the right person in the credibility of the Anvinska family, and then complaining that they are unable to repay the loan, and mortgaging the chattel, rather than by public auction. At the same time, it is necessary to try to mortgage several properties at the same time, so as not to alert Sutton and interfere in it. Another thing is to use your relationship with the dwarf Khazar to interfere with the export of craftsmen and technologies from the Boulder tribe, which is really not possible, and we can accept those craftsmen and technologies in a normal way of trading. With technology and capital, we have the capital to rise again. In that way, Sutton was also weakened, and he could only pay the bill with his own assets. ”

"Then the reputation and status of the Anvenska family ......" Lana could no longer imagine what the Anvenska family would decline into if this happened.

If you don't have the confidence to let the name Anvinska shine again, then let him be like those families that have fallen for three generations! There is no eternal prosperity and winner in the endless river of time. ”
