Chapter 36: Be open and honest

By the Hoy River, two young men stood facing each other, both silent.

After a long time, an old voice asked with some hesitation:

"You just said that a demigod of the Thief's Way?"

"Yes, three months at most, a demigod of the thief's path."

Gawain smiled and said:

"Don't worry, old man, I know what you're worried about.

"This thief demigod is absolutely clean, and he won't get any mess like shredded glasses."

Pales was silent, a little unsure of how to answer.

After a long while, he spoke with some difficulty:

"What I want to ask is, how do you, an extraordinary warrior, tell the difference... What about those things? ”

Gawain said without hesitation: "I can ask the Mother Goddess to witness." ”

Having said this, Paris naturally did not continue to question it, and he did not say anything like "Mother Earth is not infallible".

After all, in front of him was a divine being.

What is the difference between questioning the god in front of a god and scolding his ancestors for eighteen generations in front of a person?

What he didn't know was that, in Gawain's view, he and Mother Earth were more of an investment and an invested-in relationship.

If you want to say how much he believes in Mother Earth God, it is unrealistic, and let him dedicate himself wholeheartedly, which is naturally even more nonsense.

After all, for those of them who traveled through time, those so-called gods actually couldn't bring them much awe.

If it was a conceptual god, it would be better, but as for the personality god, forget it.

Pales pondered for a moment and said:

"There is no need to ask Mother Earth God to testify, I still believe in the credibility of the gods.

"I'd like to ask more, what is the situation with that demigod?"

Gawain sighed and said:

"Speaking of this demigod, then she is really a heinous crime, and it is not a pity to die."

"Oh? Why is it not enough to die? Parles was very cooperative.

"This demigod has bewitched an innocent maiden and set her on the path of the thief, without telling her about the dangers of the extraordinary world."

Gawain said in a heavy tone, his words full of pity for the girl.

"Is there any problem with the thief's pathway?" Leonard asked, somewhat confused.

"Hehe, a demigod of the thief's path, who has cultivated an extraordinary person of the thief's path, what kind of heart can she have?" Parles scoffed.

"Old man, I don't quite understand." Leonard said suspiciously.

"Sir, don't you mind if I explain it to him, do you?" Gawain asked.

"It doesn't matter." Parles replied flatly.

Gawain cleared his throat and said:

"The four sequences of the Thief's path are called 'Parasites', and they can parasitize in other Extraordinary Beings,

"And the parasitic extraordinary will gradually become their nourishment, so as to continue their lives."

Leonard listened and listened, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he said with some anger:

"Old man, it turns out that you are a 'parasite'"

Parles said calmly, "So to speak. ”

"So what exactly do you want to do? Parasitic in my body, sucking my life? Or when I'm strong, I can just swallow my extraordinary properties, like cultivating a humanoid potion? Leonard said angrily.

Pales's slightly old voice laughed:

"I'm your adventure, haven't you always thought so? Considering himself unique, he is the protagonist of this era.

"Actually, you are not as arrogant or arrogant as you usually appear, and you are always on the lookout for me.

"After I taught you the 'acting method', you didn't try to explore it with any heart, but just tried it very simply and superficially, and it took a long time to digest it.

"And you deliberately concealed your digestion progress, and didn't take the initiative to pursue the 'Nightmare' potion."

Gawain looked at the good show in front of him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and did not interject to disturb them.

"Yes, I'm on the lookout for you, but how can I trust a soul of unknown origin?" Leonard retorted with a straight face.

"Yes, it's right to be vigilant in the extraordinary world.

"But Leonard, if I really hurt your mind, then why would I let this kid tell you this information and not stop it?" Parles asked rhetorically.

Leonard was speechless for a moment, he looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and his breathing was slowly calmed down by the anger and fear in his heart.

Parles continued:

"As for you saying that I take your life, do you feel that you are getting older than your real age?

"No, I have at least 100 years to live, and I'm not in a hurry to take your life.

"As for your extraordinary characteristics, heh, we are not in a similar way that can be replaced.

"If I swallow it, I will drink poison, I will become half-crazy, and I will increase the probability of losing control.

'Night', 'Giant', and 'Death' are the adjacent paths, and the extraordinary path I am on is the 'Apprentice' and the 'Fortune Teller'. ”

After calming down, Leonard thought for a moment and asked, "Then what exactly is your purpose?" ”

Parles said with some embarrassment:

"I've had a lot of trauma and I have to have a host to recover slowly.

"And I still have to hide from a terrible enemy, you are the night watchman of the Church of the Night Goddess, a good parasitic option."

Leonard asked, somewhat confused, "Who is that enemy of yours?" ”

"That's not what you should know by now." Pales stopped his inquiry.

"So that means that the reason why the demigod Anduin said cultivated that girl was to devour her in the future?" Leonard asked, remembering the topic just now.

"Of course, a demigod who doesn't have the starting recipe for other sequences in his hand? Why did you let that girl go the way of the thief? Parles said disdainfully.

"She's damn good, then." Leonard said with a frown.

"Both, are you all talking?" Gawain said with a smile.

"Hey, I'm just finding out now that the topic has been in your hands all along." Parles said with some dissatisfaction.

"Look at what you're saying, I'm not here to make our cooperation more intimate." Gawain said with an unchanged smile.

He stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "So, deal?" ”

"Deal."

......

On the way back, Leonard asked in his mind:

"Old man, what did you say Anduin asked us to do for this favor?"

"I'm like, some guessed." Pales thought for a moment and replied.

"What is it?" Leonard asked curiously.

"You don't trust me, why should I tell you?" Pales said in a leisurely tone.

Leonard:......
