On a single ride, Father Ian left the town on his skinny horse. Seeing Ellen on the wall, he waved his hand, and then gradually became a black spot in the distance. Allen returned to a residence in the town, where the mayor arranged for him to rest. Entering the hall on the first floor, Regis was wiping his iron sword, Adele sat by the window and turned over a book of poems, and Father Lucy and Father Miró were playing chess. Saying hello to everyone, Allen returned to his room.
A few moments later someone knocked on the door, and it was Edward who came in. When he closed the door, he casually said: "I have settled his salary with the guide, paid him twice the original price, and reminded him not to disclose the affairs of Tallinn Aisha."
Allen said "um", looked out the window and said: "I want to borrow your Tallinn gems for use."
"No problem." Edward squinted his eyes and said, "Do you want to trouble Marquis Peel?"
"Do you think it is feasible?"
"Of course, you can also use the power of the marquis to help us clean up the remaining caveman, if he has that power." Edward walked to the door and slammed the door with his fingers. Not long after, a Dark Blade warrior appeared, Edward whispered a few words in his ear, and the warrior nodded and left. Edward only returned to the room: "It's done, the cavemen won't march during the day, so we should still be able to catch up."
"Very well, then I have one more thing to ask you."
Edward's pupils quietly turned into an ice blue, which made him look very cold, and he calmly said: "No need to ask, I wanted to tell you today. Yes, when I was in Tallinn Aisha, I deliberately exposed the gems of Tallinn to the eyes of the ice wind."
"This is only reasonable. Otherwise, with your caution, how could you get a corpse in a mere way." Allen said coldly: "Then, you are not going to explain?"
"What explanation do you want to hear?" Edward did not avoid Alan's eyes, and his tone was calm and indifferent: "In the complicated environment of Tallinn Aisha, it is very difficult to get rid of the ice wind. I don't think using Tallinn gems. What's wrong with bringing it out of the ground."
"Yes, but you didn't tell me beforehand."
"You also know that the reptile is not an ordinary beast. It is wise and not low. First, there was no time at the time. Second, if I tell you, I'm afraid you will expose flaws for the ice wind to see through. Facts have also proved Now, Bingfeng is indeed hooked. We have solved one of the biggest hidden dangers in that underground city."
"Then do you know, in order to kill Bingfeng. How many people have we sacrificed, and how many people have been sacrificed in this town. If you tell me in advance, at least I can be prepared and not die so many people !" Allen said solemnly.
The atmosphere in the room was dignified, and Edward lowered his gaze: "I admit that there was a mistake on this point. First, I never thought that the ice wind would drive the cave dwellers out of the dungeon; second, I did not expect you Will stay for an unnamed town. Originally these two mistakes could be made up for. For the cavemen, I had planned to drive them overnight and lead them to the territory of the Marquis of Peel, so that we could also use the Marquis’s army to deal with the ice wind. , And you don’t have to take the risk yourself. If you do this, there will be no second mistake, and we will not sacrifice half of the soldiers."
"What about Dragonlance Town?"
"This is what I can’t understand. This town is just a chance encounter on the road. The people in the town are not your leaders. In my opinion, you don’t have to take risks for them. They are not your responsibility, Lord Ellen. . We led the cavemen to leave. As for whether the town escaped or was caved in
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) People have fallen. To be honest, it doesn’t affect my plan at all, but you..."
Suddenly Allen slammed a punch at Edward, and Edward's eyes changed slightly. Then he hit it straight, and the whole person flew out and hit the wall, then bounced off again. He lay on the ground for a long while and couldn't get up, blood flowed from his nostrils and mouth. Allen asked coldly: "Why don't you avoid it?"
Edward stood up like a okay person, wiped his blood and said: "If this makes you more comfortable, it's not a big deal to get a punch."
"So this is where you scare me! Edward, although our races are different, I believe that no matter what kind of creatures are emotional. Even the residents of the Chaos Star Territory, they have it, but theirs Emotions tend to be evil. But you, you are as calm as a machine at all times. Yes, Dragonlance is not my domain, and the people here are not my citizens. I have no obligation to protect them. But their disaster It's because of us in the end, don't you feel a little guilty?" Allen said loudly.
Edward looked at him calmly: "Guilt, self-blame, such negative emotions will only affect my judgment. My job is to assist you and the brain of the entire team. What I need to do is at the least cost , In exchange for the greatest benefit. This is the yardstick by which I make all decisions. You are not calm now, and there will be no results if you continue to talk. I suggest you calm down first, and then we will talk about it. Your Excellency, Impulse doesn’t make things better, it only makes things worse. What’s important is that we can’t afford to lose, so I have to be very careful every step of the way."
Watching him leave, Allen sighed: "Edward, I admit that you are right in many things. But you have to remember that you are not a machine, you also have a life and a soul. Some things, We cannot simply judge by the relationship of interest, otherwise, this kind of life is meaningless at all."
"I remember that when I make a decision in the future, I will refer to your emotional needs and make corrections."
He left, Alan gave a wry smile, and the guy had misunderstood what he meant. Lucy pushed in and blinked: "It seems that your conversation is very unpleasant."
Ellen raised his forehead and said: "That fellow Edward doesn't know what he has experienced before. I don't believe he was born so coldly."
"He is really smart and calm. But you have to be careful. He is a double-edged sword. If you don't handle it well, I'm afraid you will cut yourself." Lucy held Alan's face. Tao.
"He is very important to us, maybe I should try to understand his past."
The night fell again.
Two yellow lights lit up, and a black figure in the shape of a human crawled out of the cave. The night wind blew a few sparse yellow hairs on its head, and it squatted on the rock and looked around. Then I saw a gopher passing between the rocks, its eyes lit up, and it jumped sharply, and pounced on the gopher. The gopher struggled desperately, but held it to his mouth with both hands. A mouth without lips opened, and it bit the gopher's head with full of fangs, and then gnawed with relish.
While eating the hamster, it turned its head left and right, glanced around at will, suddenly something flickered in the night. The familiar faint blue light shocked his whole body, and he didn't even bother to eat that gopher. It threw it away, and then ran away with its hands and feet with the flashing light. More and more cavemen crawled out of that cave. These lives were reversed day and night, and their work and rest were no different from bats. Sleep during the day and act at night. There are still two or three days away from the entrance of the big tunnel, so every minute of the night cannot be wasted, they must be at night
(This chapter is not over, please turn the page) Let’s go and find a place to hide before sunrise. Otherwise, the sunlight on the surface will make them blind, although the effect of the eyes on them is not as great as the nose.
Several cavemen began to beat the rat carcass that was discarded by their companions, until a caveman with a totem pattern on his body and a necklace made of Tallinn gemstones jumped up to them, punching and kicking them Separated. That was the leader of the caveman, and his status was lofty. The ordinary caveman didn't dare to resist and could only be beaten. At this time, there was a joyous roar in the distance, and the caveman ran back, holding a crystal shard in both hands and presenting it to the leader.
The caveman leader took it and screamed. He compared this irregular fragment with the necklace between his neck and found that there was no essential difference between the two. It was clearly a fragment of a Tallinn gem, and the leader caught the caveman screaming and kicked it again. The caveman pointed in the direction where the gem fragment was found, and then led the leader.
It didn't take long for them to find a similar flash in the northeast direction. Although it was several kilometers away, it was very obvious in the night. The leader of the caveman uttered a long roar, and all the others who came out of the hiding place understood the meaning of the roar. The remaining cavemen began to change direction. They could not allow Tallinn gems to remain on the surface, which would make them worse off than dead.
Under the dark night, a dark tide is moving quietly.
The City of Flames is bathed in the tranquil moonlight.
The name of this city is derived from the family crest of the Marquis of Peel, a fire that rises enthusiastically. In order to make the city more suitable for its name, the Marquis of Peel placed braziers on the entire guard wall, and stipulated that all braziers must be lit when night falls, so that the city looks like a rising flame, worthy of its name.
As a result, the soldiers who watched the night were exhausted. With the gods on top, everyone knows that if you run the guard wall of Flame City, you will break your leg. After all, this city is not small, and the guard wall is naturally very long. The soldiers responsible for lighting the brazier tonight are sitting lazily behind an arrow, anyway, their commander is not on the guard wall now, but is hanging out with a woman in his office.
"Let’s make a bet, I said that sooner or later, Chief Darren would die on the belly of Rowena’s woman." A soldier with spots on his face said, "I passed by the Chief’s office by accident. You don’t know how loud Luo Wei screamed and yelled, but you can imagine how hard our chief has put on her."
"You are not passing by, you are going to spy." Another yellow-haired soldier smiled: "But then, Luo Wei's woman is as big as a cow and has long legs. If I can **** her, I am willing to die."
"Come on, then Lord Darren will cut off your pair of bird eggs to feed his hounds."
Several soldiers laughed suddenly, and one soldier lay on the wall and laughed quickly. He smiled and calmed down, "Huh" pointed to a hillside outside the city: "Look over there, what is that?"
So a few heads poked out from behind the wall, and the soldiers saw that something on the hillside was emitting a faint blue light.
