Maybe it was because they had stopped a lot of times on the way because they were interested, and it took them some time each time. However, using Blink to shorten the distance where they couldn't see anything saved them some time. Lin Hefen's speed was no slower than walking with her head down.
As for whether or not the key points that could only be noticed by walking would be ignored by the two just because they used Blink to move.
Such a situation might happen, but Roland's ability to detect the environment had reached an unimaginable level. As long as there was a slight anomaly that was different from the surroundings, it would be marked in his vision. Then, it would attract his attention, even if it was a trivial matter.
This set of environmental detection skills combined with the Arcane Eye and programming language was named 'Eagle Vision'. He wondered if Ezio would be able to learn it.
As he kept moving forward, although he didn't dare to say that he had mastered everything in the Earth Elemental Universe, at least he knew more about this world. At the same time, Roland began to compare the "Elemental Spirits" that he had heard about and how they existed in this world. Or, what exactly did they refer to in this world?
Soon, the two had advanced to the "settlement" that Roland had detected. Within a distance visible to the naked eye, a primitive village gathered by rock-type elemental creatures appeared in front of them. And it just so happened that a conflict was taking place in this primitive village.
It was obvious that two parties were attacking each other. The battle between the earth elemental creatures didn't have any weapons. It was the most primitive punching, kicking, and biting. There were also no fancy techniques. It was just a straightforward attack.
Seeing this conflict, Roland immediately pulled Fen to hide behind a rock and peeped at the two parties. Fen didn't hide herself carefully like Roland, but she didn't stand out either. She just stood behind the rock and asked, "Aren't you going to help?"
Hearing the question, Roland asked back with a puzzled expression, "Why should I go out and help?"
"Well, it's like saving someone from a disaster. They're not grateful. They're giving their wives and daughters away, and they're even giving themselves away."
"Sister, did you go to the Technical Association to listen to people boasting? You heard too much, didn't you?"
In the headquarters of the Technology Guild, which was run by Uzov Gantia, there was a tavern on the first floor of the guild hall. The people in charge of the encirclement were from the Turtledove Alliance. Most of the members of the Turtledove Alliance were bards, regardless of whether they were working part-time or full-time.
Over time, there would be a few people holding a turtledove zither in the hall on the first floor of the Technology Guild. They would either play and sing by themselves or accompany others, talking about their heroic past. Of course, the content was also extremely exaggerated. In short, it was the kind of bragging that didn't even have a draft.
For the commoners in the Bewildering Land who did not have much entertainment, this was a very luxurious experience. For a period of time, Fen, the girls in her family, and the unfilial male apprentice, Leonardo, were particularly fond of it. He would often report to the first-floor hall of the Technology Guild and listen to how others bragged. That was why Lin Fan asked this question today.
However, Lich didn't take it to heart. Instead, he said, "Let's not talk about that. What I want to say is, aren't you going to help them?"
Lin asked, "Which side are you going to help?"
"Uh, the side that's being suppressed?" Fen asked tentatively.
"How do you know that the side being suppressed is a good person?"
Fen raised an eyebrow and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Do you have to distinguish between good and evil?"
"At least, I don't want to be the side that helps the evildoers. Oh, if you don't understand what I just said, just think that he's helping the evildoers do bad things. "
"How can you be sure that they're the evildoers?"
"I can't be sure that they're the good ones." Seeing that Fen was about to continue, Lin quickly stopped her and said, "Hey, sister, you're getting carried away by the trolls. What are you going to do? "
He pointed in the direction of the conflict. There was an unexpected interlude. Fen said, "No, I just want to know what you're going to do in this situation."
Just as a certain someone was arguing with a certain person, an unexpected incident occurred. A small number of people from both sides of the village were separated from each other. One side fled, and the other chased. They just happened to be heading toward where Lin and Fen were hiding. Lin Fan didn't know if he was exposed or if it was just a coincidence.
Lin Fan didn't say anything and grabbed Lich's hand again. He didn't have time to feel the smoothness of her hand in his palm. He used Blink and teleported to a high place where he could see the conflict and where he wouldn't be seen by the elemental creatures.
This time, he sat down and enjoyed the show in front of him. He also took notes of what he was interested in.
Fen asked curiously, "You're really not going to help?"
"I don't know why they're fighting, and I don't know what sides they stand for. I also don't know if I'll become a target if I interfere. If I don't know anything, no matter what I do, I'll be irresponsible to myself and others. Besides, don't you think it's arrogant to judge others based on your own standards? It's not that I'm not going to help because I'm too lazy to do anything. "
"Actually, if you didn't explain the last sentence, I was almost convinced by you," Fen said. However, she had to admit that Lin Fan's concerns were valid. The reason why she asked so many questions was because she was worried that Lin Fan would act rashly and interfere with things that he shouldn't. It turned out that she had underestimated this man's cowardice. And the questions that followed were just pure bickering …
However, Lin Fan still explained, "Alright, to be honest, it's because I don't empathize with either side when I see this fight. It's the feeling of pity for the weak and respect for the strong. It's because I don't know what kind of defeat is considered a loss for the losing side. Similarly, I don't know where the winning side won and what they won. More importantly, these elemental creatures aren't like humans. I can't tell if there are old, weak, women, or children among them. In other words, they are weak in the general sense. That's why I feel like I'm seeing two dogs biting each other on the road. I really can't think of helping. "
To put it simply, Lin Fan couldn't empathize with others. Therefore, he couldn't empathize with others and help them. It was only when Lin Fan mentioned it that Fen noticed that she seemed to have lost this feeling a long time ago. This wasn't rationality. It was simply the loss of pity. However, she didn't care about that. She asked, "Then, just watch?"
"Yes, for now, we'll wait and see. And with this conflict, I should be able to see something that I want to see. "
"What is it?" Fen asked curiously.
"It's the conflict itself. How do the earth elemental creatures fight in this world? What is their goal? And with conflict, we will have the opportunity that we need. If this world is like a utopia where there are no desires, then there's nothing for us to do, right? Conflict was not only a crisis, but also a rare opportunity to turn things around at certain times. “
