"This … You can't do this, Your Excellency." The words full of malice scared the goblin, causing him to cower.
"Why not? An airship crash. It's not news who dies. Surviving is news. It wasn't surprising that the skinny goblins had died in this disaster. Even if he's lucky enough to survive, he'll be taken away by the snow wolves on the mountain, frozen to death in this damned weather, or accidentally fall into the valley and die without an intact corpse. In this place where there are no other witnesses, it's not surprising that anything happens. "
"My daughter, my daughter Polly will testify to all of this!"
"Oh, then how about changing the last paragraph of the epitaph to 'Here lies the owner of the Hindenburg Airship and his beloved daughter Polly.' It won't take much effort to carve five more words. "
"This … Sir Wizard, you're a good person. You wouldn't do such a thing, right?" The goblin said with snot and tears running down his face. His daughter also hid behind her father.
"When did I say that I'm a good person? I've never been one. If I've caused a misunderstanding, then I apologize. I'm an egoist at heart. It's just that my desires aren't that deep. No. Perhaps it should be said that my desires are different from those of most people in this world. There are three scenarios: First, the wizard and the dwarves, with the help of the kind-hearted goblin, modify an airship with the remaining materials after the crash, and smoothly leave the Jura Mountains. The second possibility was that the surviving mages and dwarves, after losing the goblins who were the most familiar with airships, would stumble and use the remaining materials to create an unknown object. With the help of this object, everyone would eventually leave the Jura Mountains. Third, the wizard and the dwarves, despite their skills, would wait for the goblin to repair the crashed airship alone. Who knows how many times the flowers would wither and bloom when spring passed and winter came. Finally, the airship was repaired, and everyone left the Jura Mountains without a hitch. Congratulations. Now, here's the question. If these three scenarios can become reality, what should be the order in my mind? "
Without thinking, the goblin extended three fingers and said: "It's …"
A certain someone was holding the Summoning Box in his hand and standing in front of Totokani at some point. He didn't even look at the goblin. Instead, he flicked the blade of Cassette Cutting and said, "My friend, you won't have any objections if I use you to carve a tombstone for a respected friend of mine, will you?"
"Fatty wants me to suggest to an idiot like you that we should find the two planks that we threw out earlier. No matter how good a stone was, it was better to use something with commemorative value. With the Hindenburg's nameplate as a tombstone, those who loved this name would be able to rest in peace. I have the same opinion. "Xia Qie agreed with a certain someone's words.
Totokani fell to his knees and touched the ground with his forehead. "Please help me repair the airship."
With the tip of Cassette Cutting, he gently tapped the back of the gnome's head, which had a few strands of hair growing on it. Lin didn't say a word. He slowly walked back to his original position and sat down. He picked up the roasted wolf meat and ate it.
At this time, Hallumi, who couldn't stand her teacher's actions, said with some indignation: "Teacher, is this okay? Coercing others to do something they don't want to do? Isn't there a fourth situation to choose from? "Her companion, who grew up with her, pulled her sleeve and told her not to say more.
For the blonde girl, there were some things that she had to say. And as their teacher, he would always respond to their questions, no matter what method he used. So Lin Qian said with a smile: "There is a fourth situation, of course."
"Oh, then let's choose the fourth method, okay? By the way, what is that? "
"The fourth situation is that you are all a burden. I am alone, thousands of miles away seem like a foot in front of me. I give up on incompetent people like you. The sky is vast, and there is nowhere you can't go. Those with a sense of justice will stay and guard the property of the goblin, waiting for him to repair everything and rescue you who can't solve everything. "
The burning bonfire made crackling sounds, but the people sitting around it were dead silent. Those who clearly understood the ability of this Wizard knew that what he said was not a lie. The predicament in front of them was not a predicament at all for him.
With the Blink spell, there was no such thing as a hopeless situation. Even when the airship was falling, if he did not have to worry about others, it would not take much effort for him to escape alone. The reason he repaired the airship was to help others, not himself.
But Hallumi did not give up and continued: "With my sister here, she can safely take us away with the Blink spell."
"Yes, this time your sister is here, but what about the next time, and the time after that? Even in the countless crises after that, you can only wait for the help of those who can do it. Heaven helps those who help themselves. If you want help, you have to do your best first, and not spread your hands and throw the responsibility to others to deal with the aftermath. If you can't even do this, then one day, when those who always lend a helping hand are tired of helping, what will happen then? "
In fact, Lin had been teaching the two girls a similar principle in the past. Do not treat Fanny Tikal's power as a power that can be used at will. It was not just the former Demon King, it was the same for everyone. To use anyone or anything, there would be a price to pay. Especially if you misunderstood that the power belonged to you, and if others stopped at a critical moment, you would be the only one to pay the price, and you could not blame anyone else.
Hallumi was speechless, but Lich, who had been listening quietly, actually hoped that they would rely on him more. But she could not say these words. Because she knew that this man had a pride that others could not understand. Taking the initiative to show kindness would only be seen as trouble, not kindness. If you pushed too hard, it would be no different from forcing someone away.
The best way to get along was to leave someone alone from time to time, and not stick to them all day long. If one had to describe him as a cat or a dog, he was like a cat that could live well no matter who he left, and not a dog that would die of loneliness if he left someone.
But even though she knew that this guy was like a dead person in his bones, he had never shown such a sharp personality. Thinking of the previous example, Fanny could not help but ask: "Who are you? You are not James Fatso, right? You are the third person. "
"Humph." Spreading his fingers and covering half of his face, 'Lin' said with a contemptuous smile: "I am not that fatty, I am …"
"Just call him Glasses Traitor, that's what the fatty said." Cassette Cutting interrupted.
… A certain someone, unable to continue, silently came to the side. Grabbing Cassette Cutting's blade and hilt, he fiercely kneed it! Unfortunately, the sword did not break, and his foot was not cut off, but he was rolling on the ground in pain.
Next to the Dream Magic Tower, a certain someone was using the time difference between the dream and reality to think about the design of the airship.
Nominally, the clone of Fat Otaku was helping to think of a solution. In fact, if he did not hold him back, a certain someone would burn incense and pray. At this time, Fat Otaku was teasing the silver-bearded dwarf guardian in a maid outfit who was locked in a birdcage. And Lupita was gnawing on the bars of the cage, ready to bite a certain fatty to death after breaking them.
Fat Otaku's avatar asked a certain someone: "Can you let that stupid guy out?"
Staring at the goblin brand fuel propulsion mechanism's structure that was analyzed from the airship, Lin said: "I don't want to. But you know what the weather is like outside. I don't want to bet that after I come in, my body outside won't freeze to death because of the heat generated by the activity. With your stupid mouth, it won't be surprising if I get chopped alive by Fanny. So I don't dare to let you out. "
Fat Otaku's avatar shrugged and did not comment.
However, in reality, the night was not over yet. Adhering to the idea that no matter how painful it was, a certain someone gritted his teeth and silently returned to his seat, because there was still one more thing that needed to be clarified. He looked at the dark elf. Malcolm's mood had calmed down, and he was not as frightened as he was when the plane crashed. 'Lin' asked: "Ms. Fasnus, can you tell us why you came to see us?"
Realizing that the focus was back on her, before the dark elf spoke, she looked around to see if there was anyone or anything that she wanted to interrupt. After confirming that everything was normal, she then used the elegant manner of a dark elf and said: "Your Excellency Cuipwood, on behalf of His Majesty Fasnus, I invite you to the Holy Realm to meet with His Majesty."
"I refuse."
"Okay, the closest underground passage to us is … Hmm? Did you just say no? "Malcolm was surprised by the unexpected answer, and he didn't know what to make of it. She opened her eyes wide in curiosity and asked: "Why did you refuse? Even if you only meet with His Majesty, you will receive a lot of rewards. As far as I know, you have met many World Trees. You shouldn't be against this, right? "
"Because it's not on the way. I don't plan to take a detour to the underground world. "'Lin' pretended to push up his non-existent glasses and stated the obvious.
Malcolm, however, was not angry and said calmly: "Your Excellency should know what it means to refuse His Majesty."
"I only know what it means for you to try to push me into a situation where I am deserted by my friends and family. I don't like this method, and I hate being forced to do something even more. Therefore, I can only decline your invitation. Thank you for contacting me again. "
"Wait a minute, Your Excellency Cuipwood, I don't understand what you mean." Malcolm furrowed her beautiful eyebrows, perfectly showing an aggrieved expression, making people reluctant to part with her.
However, in the eyes of a certain someone, these actions only felt pretentious. 'Lin' said: "Ever since we arrived at Colombo Harbor, we have been able to observe your presence in the crowd during every conflict. And I don't care if all of this is just a coincidence, or if this is just another show of forcing people to go to Liangshan. In any case, I don't want to and have no interest in going to the underground world, no matter how great His Majesty is. "
Regardless of whether these people understood the allusion of "forcing people to go to Liangshan," Lin was impatient to deal with people who used such methods.
