As the young priest escorted Aluka out of the camp, Aruka noticed that several of the elderly knights had objected, but their arms were no longer on their thighs, and they were not qualified to command the priests of the Cult of the Lake God. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info These knights have shown a certain IQ, and it seems that the people of this world are not so stupid.

And the reason why the young priest was so bold and the knights did not resolutely oppose it actually made sense. First of all, the power of the Divine Division is indeed strong, and even if it is close, it can rely on the blister technique to protect itself, unless it is killed in seconds. Secondly, they had checked it when they rescued Aluca, who had no weapons on him, not even nail clippers. In this era, there is no concept of fighting, and I don't know that some people can break people's necks with a twist of their hands when they get close...... Of course Aluka can't do this kind of thing, he's a book lover, not a special forces, and he's seen this kind of thing in movies and novels, and he's not sure if anyone can do it in reality.

An hour after leaving the camp, Aluca was sure that no one was following. He didn't want to delay it too long, so he might not have time to return to Ash Wood Village. Now he and the young priest sat on horseback, one after the other, and he reached out and patted the young priest on the shoulder, and the priest turned his head suspiciously.

Aluca smiled at him, then wrapped her arms around the priest's waist and opened her mouth to bite the young priest's neck. True, it is true that Arouca did not carry weapons...... But people tend to forget that they are also animals, and the most fundamental weapons are fangs and claws. The bite force of humans is low in animals, only one-tenth that of a great white shark. But as long as you are ruthless, there is no problem in tearing up the skin and muscles. Do you remember that famous boxing champion......

The young priest had never seen such a terrible monster before, clad in human skin but biting with his teeth, and the great artery in his neck was instantly opened, and blood gushed out as if he didn't want money. Immediately after that, Arukayi chased after the poor man, and bit down on the young priest's trachea, and the blood and minced flesh in his mouth did not feel good, fishy and sweet. Since Aluka had no experience in doing this kind of thing for the first time, he bit too the bone, breaking a tooth and causing severe pain in the nerves.

At the same time, a blister suddenly appeared around the two of them. Aluka felt like every piece of her skin was under terrifying pressure, as if countless boulders were burying her underneath it at the same time. Breathing is even more impossible and will only choke water into the lungs. He could bear the pain now, but if water entered his lungs, he would immediately release his mouth in pain, and the young priest would surely die if he bled too much, and he himself would have to be buried with him.

In a matter of moments, Aluka felt her muscles crumple and her skin crack like parched earth. The eyes, nose, and ears began to bleed due to water pressure. He felt his vision begin to blur and his arms began to lose strength, so he concentrated all his strength on his mouth. At such a critical moment of life and death, he still has the leisure to think of an ancient poem, which is probably the spirit of "insisting on the green mountains and not relaxing".

The two of them stalemate like dying beasts for an unknown amount of time, and the blister with amazing pressure finally exploded in the air with a "bang". The young priest was already out of breath, and his pupils were full of horror and anger, but he didn't expect his kindness to come to such an end. However, Aluka can only say sorry, there is no guilt, he is just acting on orders, if you have any questions, please consult the gods who issued the mission.

If a third party were to watch here, they would see a bloody demon slaughtering the devotees of the Lake God...... I'm afraid that even if Sinong and the others are here, they will stay away from Aluca.

"It hurts...... "Aluca, holding the young priest's corpse across his horse, muttered to himself, "I'm not going to be some kind ......of murderer, am I?"

Then he remembered a lot of chicken soup for the soul that he had seen, there is no good or evil in power, and only those who use them have ...... No, it shouldn't be used here. Sometimes a little sacrifice is required for the sake of a great goal...... That's right, that's it. It seems that the chicken soup for the soul still has some effect, so don't taunt the teacher in the future.

——

After carrying the corpse back to the village overnight, Aluca's physical fitness beyond ordinary people was unbearable. The strength of the Lake God Priest was beyond his imagination, and if the Lake God Priest had a little guard against him before, he would never have the slightest chance of turning the tables. Even if the plan was successful, the blister technique still caused him a lot of damage, and he would most likely not be able to participate in the first day of defense.

At the entrance of the village, Cui Hak, who had been worried for half a night, waited until Aluka and scolded him severely. When the other companions saw Aluca's miserable appearance, they all thought of the danger of this battle, and volunteered to take charge of Aluca's care. Whatever the purpose, Arouca objectively shared the risk for the team with his own life. And no one could have imagined that Aluca had a purpose of his own......

Aluka didn't say anything, but she was still very touched by this friendship in her heart. People like Aluka can laugh and scold and have strong interpersonal skills, but they are not very good at expressing their feelings. He's like a hedgehog, round and cute, harmless to humans and animals, provided you don't touch him.

Aluca didn't ask Sinong and the others how they set up the traps, in his opinion, a mature team should have a clear division of labor, and only the leader can meddle in the work of the players. Either you trust your teammates, or you leave the team. He knows that he is very smart, and smart people may be proud, but they must have an objective and clear judgment of themselves. He's not a nanny and shouldn't be a nanny, and he can't be in charge of everything.

Aluka strongly supported Sinong as a leader, and did not hesitate to quarrel with his adoptive father for this, not casually. Although Sinong is not smart, or in the words of a previous life: he has suffered the loss of culture, but this happens to be the last thing a leader needs. What does the leader need? Today in the tavern, Sinong asked himself to go with him to the doctor, let Henry go to the village chief, and let Trehack and Jofa protect Henry. The question is, does Henry's national teacher need protection? These mercenaries are the only hope for Gray Wood Village, and no one will attack Henry's national teacher. So Sinong was just looking for something to do for Trihack and Jopha, because there really was nothing to do for them, because they really had to have something to do.

An immature leader who will let the two of them move freely. A stupid leader who will tell the two of them that they don't need you now. A leader who is about to fall will say to them that you don't have any, and you are here waiting for my orders. Someone like Sinon who is born with a talent for leadership will find something to do that makes Trihack and Joffa feel worthwhile. This sounds simple, but not everyone can do it, let alone think of it.

Arouca could have thought of it, but his character meant he wouldn't do it. He is a saint in all aspects, he is just an ordinary person, and ordinary people have character.

The wounded Aluka refused to go to the hotel to rest, and insisted on holding the line at the entrance of the village. His reasoning was that if the village entrance was lost, he would be a dead word no matter where he was, and it would make no difference. In the past few days, Sinong also learned that Aluca's character of not making decisions easily and not wavering when making decisions was made, so he allowed it. In the past, he had always regarded Aluka as an immature brother, who knew that when it was a matter of life and death, Aluka would burst out with such energy.

The corpse of the young priest, stripped naked and covered with blood from a leather whip, was cruelly hung on a stake at the entrance of the village to provoke the knights of the Green Lake.

Henry, a non-combatant like Aluca, is not going back to the village to hide, and it is obviously impossible for you to expect a believer of the sun god to be afraid of fighting. When he was young, Henry was also a handsome man who strategized thousands of miles away, but the years were unforgiving. The villagers moved two chairs, and Aluka and Henry sat side by side.

Waiting is always boring, and waiting in the night is even more boring, Henry suddenly said to Aluca: "You are very good, I thought you were very smart when we first met, but I didn't expect you to be so smart." ”

Aluka said indifferently: "If I said that the first time we met, I knew that there was danger in the Sun God's mansion, and I, Jofa and Brother Sinon were all abandoned children that you had prepared, would you think that I was smarter?"

Henry looked at Aluca in amazement.

Aluca continued: "Originally, I was just suspicious because you didn't look at me right. Later, when I saw that a few pages of the royal secret book had been torn out, I confirmed my thoughts. One thing you don't know is that my family taught me to read ancient texts. ”

There are two types of high-end scammers. The worse ones are always lying, but it's easy to debunk, and others will think that this person is particularly fond of jokes. When he says something solemnly, it is easy to win the trust of others, and even if he doubts it, he does not think it is a serious problem, and this is the case with Aluca. The most brilliant liars never lie, they don't say a word, they are more honest than the believers of the God of Light, but they will guide people's minds with the truth, and Aruka can't do this yet, and even if they can do it now, it's too late, because others have already formed an opinion about him.

Before Henry came to see Treuca, he knew several of Treuka's students, so no one knew about Aluca's life before he was eight years old. He subconsciously thought that Aluka was telling a secret to himself, just like love and hate, it is always easy to trust others, it is always rare to be trusted, he even felt a trace of guilt, and said bitterly: "I had to do that, it is said that I must sacrifice blood to get the secret treasure of the sun god." ”

Aluka didn't even need to think about it, so she shook her head and said, "It's fake." ”

Henry asked in surprise, "Why?"

"It's very simple logical reasoning," Arouca explains. Since the sun god left the secret treasure to his bloodline, it was to enhance the strength of his bloodline, and at the same time, he would not want others to get this news. And his blood cannot go to the treasure hunt alone, only his own henchmen. Even if the bloodline deceived the innocent for the sake of the blood sacrifice, the news would leak out. If the treasure can only be obtained through a blood sacrifice, the blood of the sun god will have to sacrifice his own henchmen. If you had a hundred gold coins for your son, would you ask him to give you ninety gold coins first?

"But...... Why is it written like that......

"To test the heart of the bloodline. Aluka snapped his fingers and smiled approvingly, "Those who achieve great things are not informal, and those who don't know how to pay for rewards have no future, which is exactly what Brother Xinong lacks." If even a henchman is reluctant to sacrifice, he is not eligible to obtain the secret treasure of the sun god. ”

Since you know, why don't you come forward to be a team leader? After so many years in the court, Henry naturally knows what kind of person is suitable for leadership. If a good brain can rule the kingdom, how long can a king's ass sit on the throne? In terms of scheming, a hundred kings can't do more than a single strategist.

In history, there were military generals who usurped the throne, but there were few staff members and strategists who usurped the throne, and even if they succeeded, they would not live long. Calculating people can never rule because they are too detail-oriented. Even a strong strategist like Xiao He has a strong view of the overall situation, and he has the deeds of protecting himself, so that the king will not protect himself. You're going to kill me? Okay, I'll kill you first. That's the difference between bearing and pattern.

No matter how stupid a king is, he can cultivate a few henchmen and dead ministers. But strategists are often alone, they are too smart, and smart people are always suspicious, and it is difficult to train subordinates. Even if he is an all-powerful superman, how much can he achieve on his own?

Henry said, "If I don't die, you and Xinon will have a good position in the royal family when you go back." ”

Knowing that Henry was buying insurance for himself, Aluka said noncommittally: "I think Brother Sinon will be very happy, his dream is to become a nobleman." It couldn't have been in the past, but it gave him a chance in the end. ”

As for himself, no one knows what he is thinking and what he wants to get.

That's right, that's the most important thing to be a liar and a strategist, never let people know your desires.

There was silence between the two for a while, and Henry Guoshi said without embarrassment: "I heard your plan before, and I thought it was a little bit bad...... People need to have a bottom line in doing things. ”

It seems that Xinon still told others about the dispute at the gate of the hospital, but Aluca did not expose it, he knew that Xinon was for his own good, and he felt that Henry, who had rich life experience, could teach him some truths. But a man like Aluca never needed someone to teach him the truth, he only believed in his own truth, and said: "I have a bottom line." ”

Henry Guoshi became interested, and a person who said at every turn that he wanted to slaughter the village also had a bottom line, which was quite interesting, and said: "I want to hear about it." ”

"I'm not going to try to hurt people who don't threaten my interests, I'm not going to try to hurt people who are genuinely good to me – whether they do what I need to do or not," Aluca replied. And I will help them at any cost, even if the gain is not proportional to the effort. Actually, I don't think it's about getting something in earning. ”

"Profit is paramount, and it's about the same as a businessman, I can understand that. But the next statement is interesting. Master Henry laughed twice, a little cunning and cunning, "Are we discussing philosophy? The sun nourishes all things and brings us life, so we believe in the sun god." When we plant the seeds, we will reap the food, so we will plow. Isn't that so?"

"You made a mistake, you said us, I said me. My opinion does not represent everyone, and it may not be correct, I just say that I don't give in order to get something in return. ”

"And what are you for?"

"For peace of mind. Aluca's voice was a little tired, "This is the price of freedom." Freedom is priceless, so any benefit can be given up for the sake of freedom. ”

Henry's national teacher somewhat understood what Alucar meant, but not everyone could understand it. What does peace of mind have to do with freedom? Actually, there is...... Henry changed the subject and said, "People who even have to doubt themselves must be very miserable to live. ”

Everyone has pain in life, and there is no pain alone. Aruka realized that she had talked a little too much today, so she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. I have to admit that it is easy for you to let your guard down when facing a gray-haired elder. And when he killed the young priest before, Aruka was not completely free of guilt, and he needed to say something to ease his anxiety. Today's words are not only for Henry's national teacher, but also for himself. It is a very troublesome thing for the wise people to live, they will keep denying themselves, they will keep admitting themselves, they will keep judging themselves, they will keep judging themselves, they will not lose themselves.

The most painful thing for a sinner is not punishment, but self-condemnation. Sometimes Aluka wishes he was an idiot, and the idiot never felt that he had done something wrong, that he would not feel guilty, that would be stupid, but that would be easier.

Blaming the world for all the faults is a good idea for a happy life.

——

In the morning light, the knights of the Green Lake Knights came to the front of Greywood Village. The young priest had gone and not returned, they had sensed that something was wrong, but they did not want or dare to think about the terrible result, until the corpse in front of Greywood Village shattered their luck.

The knight was born to protect the priest, but now the priest is dead. Thinking of the consequences of being discovered by the sect, anger and fear hit their hearts at the same time.

As Arouca said, the barricades made of several sacks were as seductive to the knight as a stripped beauty. The knights of the Green Lake charged almost without thinking, and several of the knights in the front row fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the knights in the middle of the line quickly tightened the reins and narrowly stopped in front of the tripping rope, but were rear-ended by their own companions, following in the footsteps of the knights in the front row.

As the saying goes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.
