Chapter 464: The One Who Knows Himself Best
In the face of the two existences that not only shine on the demon hunting list, but also have their own evaluation in history, they can only be looked up to. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Winnesses, the hypocrite, Icaline, the liar.
The two of them don't seem to be easy to provoke from the title, but Hong Qi is lucky enough to meet them.
"Oh, Mr. Hong Qi, I believe that we should be guided by the darkness when we come here, why don't we come and talk for a while?"
The chatty Icalene was the first to break through the awkward occasion, and the atmosphere was a little uncomfortable before the meal was served.
"Hmm...... I haven't visited any other place yet, but I was able to chat with both of you a little bit. After saying that, Hong Qi began to introduce his adventure a little.
Most of the content is his own real life, but the problem is that at some key points, Hong Qi has consciously made them ordinary, the purpose is naturally to prevent them from being suspicious, but between the excessive ordinary and the extraordinary, Hong Qi himself has also done what he thinks should be a perfect grasp.
"Ahh
The words mention that he defeated Cadors, but Hong Qi conceals his name and downplays the deeds as much as possible.
"Oh, I don't know, but the badge on them looks like a black knife, right?"
"Oh...... Black Knife Thieves, these guys are really bad weirdos who have bullied lonely adventurers for fun. ā
The Black Knife Thieves Group, its own strength is only to reach the fate of the extraordinary and the fate of the old man is extraordinary, so he didn't even enter the demon hunting list, and he is considered an ordinary thief group.
Basically, a team that can be called a thief group must at least have the existence of a superlative strong person as the leader before it can be recognized by the world as a thief group.
Of course, there are also famous and nameless existence among the thieves, such as the Black Knife Thieves Group, which is a small exception, its original strength is not very strong, but it is so famous because of their form and style that has attracted a little attention from everyone.
However, the price of such fame is to be openly attacked by the Adventurers' Guild and to be the hunting target of the wanderers, and the poor team of thieves who seem to be certain to destroy the group.
"Yes, no wonder they wanted to kill me when they saw me, I also wanted to say which thieves would kill me directly regardless of the rules of thieves, almost scared me to death, but fortunately the other party itself was not too strong thieves. ā
The rules of thieves were made by Toothy Smile, it should be said that they existed a long time ago, but now they are maintained and made by Toothy Smile.
The current rule is that thieves will be stripped of their status as thieves if they kill unnecessarily if they want to rob, and this may seem like a useless warning, but many thieves will agree to the rules set by the toothy smile.
The reason is simple, thieves, robbers, hooligans, etc., also have their own life circles, but they are usually located in the gray area, if they are removed from the list because they do not follow the rules, the next end is to face a crusade between good and evil, and finally face death.
As for why the toothy smile can master the power to set the rules, there is no need to say more, after all, whoever is the strongest can become the controller.
"Yes, after all, the thieves themselves are hypocrites who are afraid of hunger, but occasionally some special beings will be born in this group of guys. ā
The current Hong Qi himself does not have a mask on his face, after all, his current identity is Hong Qi, that is, the identity of an ordinary person.
But the problem is that the real power that is hidden in this way is actually greater than that of Paines, because after his eldest brother became a sage, the toothy smiling thieves were officially recognized by the dynasty, becoming a large force and gaining a status second only to the Demon Hunter Agency and the Templar.
After all, the Templar and the Demon Hunter Mechanism itself have more than one Sage, and it's not unusual for the toothy smiling thieves led by Jackson Strong to not be well-known enough.
But the more important thing is that the status that Hong Qi now has is the Toothy Smile Seven Leaders, and its status itself can even be compared with the Great Sages, of course, it is only theoretical, and its strength and reputation are far inferior to the other party.
"Ah, you mean Jackson is strong, the adult who has become a saint, I really envy it, he actually became a saint, which means that there is no need to worry about lifespan and so on in the future. ā
Although transcendent life itself is long, due to the limitations of human transcendental life, basically those who did not become saints two hundred years ago have no hope of becoming holy.
After becoming a saint, the vast majority of beings have already jumped out of the cage of the race, but have welcomed a higher life to look at, except for some beings with the blood of gods, basically everyone is in a state of equality in some way.
"Jackson is strong...... Isn't that a thief-sama a way to talk about thieves like we usually do?, and Master Tang Ke has also said that there is equality in professions, and even the Adventurer's Guild itself has recruited some thieves. ā
Hong Qi replied to them like this, he also knew Tang Ke's actions in recent years, but there were still some of them that he guessed.
"Oh, I didn't expect to meet such a talkative person in a random chat, but the meal seems to have arrived, and we should have a good lunch while chatting, or should we hurry up and get on with business?"
"Hong Qi decides, I don't care personally anyway. Wenneses's smiling mask responded.
The mask itself had an opening in the mouth, so it wouldn't be too difficult for Vinnesis to eat, and perhaps either option would be a good option for him.
"Hmm...... Although the experience of chatting with the two of them is really very rare, but I personally have to go to the Kingdom Library because of the need for important things at the moment, but it seems that the choice of talking to the two of them makes me hesitate. ā
This is half-true, but partly because they can learn a lot about recent events and their own views on the world from their mouths, and the experience of seeing the world from an extraordinary point of view is something that few people can have.
The false part is naturally because Hong Qi can't stand the difference between hypocrisy and sincerity that one of them keeps talking about it, and the other is constantly using words to praise the beauty of words, and even preach that he wants to use more of the beauty of words.
...... Talking to two madmen seems to be a mixed decision.
"Alright, let's throw the gold coins, and the king's head will continue to chat, and then we will hurry up and end the exchange, but in either case we should leave some way to communicate. Icalene made such a suggestion.
"I'm a little bit of a hard time, I'm an adventurer, after all. ā
"Oh, as an adventurer, you didn't join the Adventurer's Guild? At this time, Wennesses asked Hong Qi curiously.
"No, after all, becoming an adventurer itself is just a hobby, and I don't want to participate in the adventurer's guild. ā
Hong Qi replied, and such an answer seemed to him to be very appropriate.
"Alright, let's just flip a coin first. ā
With that, Icalene flicked his fingers and tossed the coin high into the air, stopping it when it was about to hit the ceiling.
...... Sir, is it necessary for you to pretend to be a top 10 demon hunter like this? And I didn't even notice it.
In Hong Qi's opinion, it is obvious that the other party should want to show himself something that should be called something worth showing off, but in Hong Qi's feeling, it is not something that should be praised.
Belch...... Maybe I'd be happier if you got some supernatural means or something?
After all, he is now stuck in the so-called transcendent understanding or looking for the items he has lost, and it is really difficult for him to continue to move forward in such a dilemma, which can be said to be very embarrassing.
Eventually, the coin was poured on the table, and Icalene probably thought that if he stopped in his hand, he would probably do it himself, so he put the coin on the table in order to show absolute fairness.
Eventually, the coin turns to the opposite side.
"Well, is it good luck or bad luck that the rare communication between people is disturbed by a mere coin, or should this be regarded as a hidden word given by a grander being?"
Seeing the result, he gave Duan Rang Hongqi an extremely speechless wild speech.
...... This guy is definitely going crazy about his own rules, right?
It was impossible to understand why such a declining nobleman would be so powerful, although it seemed less puzzling that Icallane could be so powerful according to the rules he understood.
Hong Qi wondered where this thing had come to understand the true meaning of words, and the other smiling masked man with a mouth full of hypocrisy, who was basically a madman.
"No, no, no, no, it seems to me that this is the result of the hypocrisy between the coin and the man, don't you also try to avoid the birth of the so-called hypocrisy? ā
The two of them continued to have similar wild words, but fortunately, the arrival of the meal rescued Hong Qi, who felt isolated, and when they left, they gave a little way of communication, of course, it was the two of them who gave Hong Qi.
"Mr. Hong Qi, you must come to me to play when you have time, it is simply touching and overwhelming to be able to chat with an interesting adventurer like you. ā
Ikalain said so, but Hong Qi could only smile and agree, but Wennesis seemed to be more reasonable.
"Hong Qi, if you want to find me or if you have difficulties, come to me, although I am so humble and incompetent, but if I can help you with the help you need, maybe I can make an incompetent person like me happy, by the way, remember to come and play often. ā
Each was given the location of their territory, located not far from the city of Amun, and as the new king's cronies, their own status also increased, and basically those who were able to obtain a fief near the city of Amun also had a certain correlation with their status and relationship with the kingdom
"Okay, if the two adults and younger brothers are free or need trouble with the two of them, then I will definitely come to visit. ā
After smiling and saying polite words, Hong Qi put away the notes written by the two of them, and expanding their contacts in some ways is not a bad thing for Hong Qi.
Although these two should not be friends in their own right.
After leaving, the two ordered another drink.
"Well, I guess, the whisper of words tells me that he should be the seventh." ā
"Is it yes, is he a hypocrite at the end of the day?"
As he spoke, Winness's smiling face still couldn't tell his true emotions.
"Can't you say that, even lies are divided into sincere lies and false lies, and I definitely have a higher understanding than you in terms of words, so I think this abandonment should be regarded as using a sincere lie, and I guess he should also know who we are. ā
"No, no, no, if anyone in this kingdom doesn't know who we are, I guess that person is definitely an absolute hypocrite. ā
"Hmm...... You're right, although it seems like we're all a little arrogant, but since there are still people who don't know about such a big thing, we can only blame them for being too slow. ā
"Yes, but Icarine, are you really sure he's the seventh?"
"Half and half, sometimes the elves of speech will play tricks on me, so I can't give you a positive answer, so I don't care if you want to give a hypocritical evaluation. ā
"Of course. Wenneses shrugged his shoulders and said: "After all, this is in line with what you think is the art of speech, lies are art, lies are the essence of words, so if you want to refuse, deny, or even lie, I can't give any attack, because it's useless." ā
"Sure enough, it was really good luck to meet you through Toth, and you are the only one who can understand me like that, right?"
"Again, it seems that we know each other best, but unfortunately, there is a gender barrier. ā
"Haha! It's a pity, do you want to go there? Although it seems that there is no way to do whatever you want to become a nobleman again, but it is okay to go once in a while. ā
"Okay, but this time you pay for it, everything in Wangcheng is too expensive, especially in a place where the consumption level itself is not low. ā
After saying that, the two laughed and left shoulder to shoulder, and at this moment, Hong Qi had already arrived at the library.
