Hearing someone start to explain, Fen let go of his hand and let him fall back to the ground. Lin, who lost his balance for a moment, fell directly to the ground. But he didn't take it seriously at all, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and continued:
"The original rules were a little looser. For example, the magic tower would only attack if someone was hurt and blood was seen. But it wasn't until I was driven away from the tower that I laughed at myself. I was afraid of accidental injury. I should consider helping others.
No matter how much I do, no matter how much I do, I will still be regarded as a thorn in the flesh by some unimportant people. It is conceivable that the next journey will not be too peaceful, so I changed the judgment rules. As long as it meets certain behaviors,
I'll treat it as hostile and launch an attack. Anyway, I've heard of people being killed for being rude to magicians. So I don't care if it's an accidental injury or not, I'll just die if I die. Who dares them to do this?
The magician showed a threatening behavior in front of him. I just didn't expect that that group of people actually came and killed him on the first night. They are a bunch of impatient idiots who deserve to die."
"Oh, that means that within the range of the Arcane Eye, I don't even have a chance to take action."
Speechless... Lin looked at the slightly disappointed former Demon King and said, "It should be almost as described."
"How big is that range?"
"The newcomers have upgraded the arcane eye building of the tower. It can be used all day long. It doesn't matter. Is the observation range increased? After the upgrade, they didn't give me a chance to test it, so I don't know.
. I guess there will be people who come to kill people next, let them be used as experimental subjects to see where the arcane eyes of the Great Sage's Tower are at their limit. Anyway, it's not me who will die."
Complaints full of resentment made this night almost become Lin's personal show. Everyone looked at the dead people outside the defense circle and the former tower master who was talking nonsense. No one knew what to say, not even his companions.
dialogue between.
The elite warriors working for the Masters were well-informed and knew very well when to be quiet and when to speak. But just like today, situations that left them speechless were quite rare.
Everyone has mixed feelings in their hearts, and they don’t know where to start.
After days of insomnia, Lin's energy had already reached its limit. Today, he finally no longer couldn't sleep, but simply slept to death.
In my sleep, I vaguely felt someone moving me. But someone didn't care and didn't even think about opening my eyes. He just indulged himself.
Finally, he woke up in the rickety carriage. It was not that he had slept well or that he had regained his energy. He was simply woken up by hunger. When Lin woke up, he took out the dry food from his bag and ate it dryly.
Then he looked at the sky aimlessly and didn't want to talk to anyone else.
The real sense of losing the magic tower has only slowly emerged now. Before that, in addition to keeping myself very busy, too busy to think about random things, I also had more or less unrealistic hopes. Like losing a
A meteorite fell down, killing everyone else, and smashed the plane gap of the Gate of the Abyss along the way, making the demons lose their temper.
But once I had some free time, the wave called 'cruel reality' hit me, and I was almost overcome by frustration. With a pair of dead fish eyes, my brain was not functioning at all. Logically speaking, this is the best place for meditation.
State, but Lin is just wasting his life now.
During this period of time, Halumi and Kaya felt more or less betrayed. Although they did not express their intentions and complained to their teachers, they were also in a cold war situation and did not want to say a word.
As for the heartless teacher, he ate when he needed to, slept when he needed to, and even helped the people who robbed his home.
I originally thought that my teacher didn't care about such things, and all the decisions were made by that person, so the girls accumulated more dissatisfaction. But today, it seems that the whole thing is not for their teacher.
It's not a shock at all, it's just that I didn't show it before.
Looking at their teacher's appearance, it would be a lie to say that they are not worried. But they also understand that as half-grown women - their menstruation has come, and according to Midi's standards, they are already considered adult women.
They can no longer look at it from the perspective of children. Even though they are only thirteen years old now, they are still powerless in many cases. So they can only turn to another mature woman for help.
The former demon king who was originally buried in the water mirror screen and keyboard, Fen also has a sense of escaping from reality. On the one hand, with the purple-transformation magic stone as the core, he created a mysterious version of the portable computer──Shou Coffin.
It is a very novel toy, and a certain lich is studying it with great interest.
However, as a person who is powerful enough to dominate the world, Fen is still very careful about the things around him. He will not let himself be so focused that he ignores the danger.
The watery and pitiful expressions of the two little girls could hardly help but attract the attention of a certain lich.
Following the girls' eyes, Fen saw the former tower master in a daze. She sighed slightly, put down the coffin on her lap, stretched her body lazily, and changed into a more comfortable posture.
, then said: "You look like you are looking away. Does that mean you have given up or given up? Your Excellency, Mr. Gablesh Tripwood."
Even if he was asked by name, it took Lin a short while to come back to his senses. With his refocused eyes, he looked at the person who asked the question. He said: "What kind of thing is it? What's the point? After all, it can't be changed."
Reality."
"Of course there are differences. Tolerating blindly will not bring good results. People who hate you, greedy people, ignorant people, stupid people, these people will step on your head intentionally or unintentionally.
Feet. Even if you only fight back when you have no choice but to show your strength. But people who are used to you retreating and forbearing will not take this occasional outburst seriously. They would rather bet that you will still retreat, bet that you will swallow your anger.
.But what they don’t know is that emotions will not disappear for no reason, they will only accumulate. If all this does not destroy yourself, then you will destroy others and eventually become the devil."
Listening to Fen's words, Lin felt something was wrong and asked back: "Are you talking about me or yourself?"
Realizing that she was inexplicably stuck in memories, Fen smiled contemptuously, as if she was mocking herself. She said, "It seems that we have more similarities than you think. Don't we."
"Then, is there any solution?" Lin asked feebly. In fact, he didn't expect to get any answers. He just chewed his teeth and found something to talk about. He continued: "If you live, then
For a long time, I won’t spend the second half of my life just taking revenge on society. There will always be times when I have nothing to do, thinking that if things had been like that, I wouldn’t be so miserable. Tell me what solutions you have thought of.
Reference reference.”
Seeing that a certain man had regained his energy a little, Fen tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying: "Have you ever carefully observed a carnivorous beast? When he bares his teeth and cracks his mouth at you, it actually means that he doesn't want to be with you.
Fighting, so showing a threat, hoping to force the person to retreat. If you bite, it is just self-defense out of helplessness, not hostility. But when it is calm and does not show any threat, it means two things
Maybe. One is waiting for the best opportunity to kill with one blow; the other is too old to have any teeth and can no longer bite. What’s interesting is that humans think that they are a more advanced species than beasts, but the rules they follow,
But you are no different from a wild beast. When you barge your teeth at people, most people will retreat; but when you remain silent, they will only treat you as a non-threatening wimp and keep pushing forward.
.Whether you are waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, or you are unable to fight back for various reasons, but to the people on the other side, your initial behavior is the biggest reason for them to offend you. No one cares that you were forced.
, will you bite? If you do bite, the fault will be yours, and they will have more reasons to be resentful and wonder why you didn't just let them bully you."
Fen's long speech made Lin confused. A certain man was dumbfounded and looked at the speaker. After a while, Lin said: "I thought I would talk casually, but I didn't expect to take it seriously."
"What do you want to hear? A million ways to kill someone? Stop it."
"No, I'm just thinking that if I had suffered those things and saw others following in my footsteps, I would be happy to see them. I wouldn't seriously try to persuade others."
"In your mind, am I such a bad person?" Fen asked slightly, but he smiled and said: "Okay, I admit that I am. Watching others suffer what I have suffered is indeed
It's quite refreshing. But I don't want that person to be you."
Hearing this inner confession, it was as if the resentment in my heart for days had been washed away, and all unhappiness had been washed away from my mind. No matter how slow Lin was, his ears were red at this time, his head was lowered, and he held it in for a long time before he finally said:
"Thanks."
Whether you love him or not is not a matter of importance. The important point is that Lin has not felt this concern for a long time. He doesn't even know how to respond. The atmosphere was awkward for a while, which also made a certain lich unable to move forward or retreat.
As if to break the ice, Fen asked: "How do you deal with situations like this in your hometown?"
Lin has never been shy about talking about the Earth in front of his two young apprentices. But most of the time, he still doesn't talk about it. It's not to keep it secret, it's just because he's too lazy to talk. Now that he was asked, he thought about it seriously.
After a while, he said:
"In my hometown, you have to stand at attention when you are beaten, and you have to nod when you are scolded. In short, you must not fight back. Only then can you use your identity as an innocent victim to seek protection from public power. Otherwise, most people who uphold justice will choose to hit each other fifty times.
, to turn big things into small things and small things into nothingness.”
This time Fenfen was dumbfounded. For a long time, she didn't know how to comment. Finally, she finally squeezed out a thought and said: "It's such a ghost place, and you still want to go back all day long?
