At night, someone in the hotel was sitting by the window in the lobby on the first floor. Maybe he was too tired during the day and couldn't sleep at night, or maybe he was in a different mood. Tonight, Lin rarely looked at the sky.
There is no starlight tonight, the moonlight appears and disappears between the clouds, and the air is particularly stuffy, as if a rain is about to fall, but it won't.
It has been two years and more than seven months since I left Wulian City. Although I have not been moving forward all the time, and I have lived in some places intermittently, my heart has never been stable, and I always feel like I am still wandering.
No, maybe this feeling of wandering has never stopped since the day I traveled through time.
Now that I have arrived in the holy city of Estali, although it is not the expected final destination, I don’t want to continue wandering before deciding on the next step. Where can I find a house that has been wandering outside, in this square and small world? It is your own place of residence.
Because it was late at night, there was no one else in the hall, and there was only a dim light. At this time, the rain that had been holding back for a long time finally fell in the sky, hitting the new green leaves in the courtyard. Makes a subtle and crisp sound.
"Can't you sleep?" Fenner's magnetic and seductive voice came from behind.
The sound of rain covered up the sound of footsteps.
Turning his head, Lin looked at the lich who had regained his human body and beauty, and walked over with a light step.
It has been five years since she was resurrected, and it will be five years in the near future. It is not long, it is not short. To be able to spend so long with a woman, especially an unimaginable beauty, is very important to a certain otaku. It is unimaginable for many people to travel through time. Sometimes they forget that 'she' was once a lich with the name of the Demon King, and she brought a world of devastation to the Lost Land.
Just like what someone tried to avoid, many things never ended after they started. Fen took revenge readily, even severing the enemy's belief and erasing their existence from the ground. But in the end, it was It took a thousand years of imprisonment to get a chance to start over. However, how many people are lucky enough to get such an opportunity? More people even take it themselves.
"I always feel that you are thinking about something very rude." Fen said, sitting next to someone.
"No way. Or do you think I have to drool every time I see you and look like you're about to faint? If you like this, I can cooperate."
"When you say such words, I feel like there is a fire in my stomach, rising up."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Lin Qian laughed a few times.
"Ask you something."
"Please tell me."
"Just hand the airship over to that goblin, okay?" Fen slightly tilted his head and asked in confusion.
Lin asked back: "Isn't it bad?"
"I'm asking you a question." Fen said with a stern face and a slight anger.
"Haha, don't be angry. Assets must be utilized to generate income. In our current situation, it is impossible for us to really ride on an airship and run around every day to earn a living. If we just leave the Sid idle like this Airport, don't you think it's a bit of a waste? What's wrong with leaving that kind of thing to those who want to do it?"
"But just hand it over for nothing."
"Of course I didn't let Totokani take away an airship in vain. Every time they fly, they are accumulating data for me to verify the performance and structure of the Sid. If the Sid is parked, , how is that different from magic materials? Moreover, this material is very inconvenient to process because it is changed into various shapes and mixed with other materials."
"Then you believe that goblin?"
"I don't believe anyone. It's just that handing over the Sid to Totokani is a casual move. Whether it can bring about good results, to be honest, I don't care. Even if we don't lose the money to the pair today,
Instead, the goblin father and daughter of the airship chose to seize it and find someone else to do business for us. Who can guarantee that hiring other people will definitely bring us profits according to our requirements."
"What's the difference between that and leaving it to that goblin?"
"Although the goblins are clever, at least they will be frightened. Moreover, morally speaking, this airship already has a small part. I want to emphasize that only a small part belongs to their property. Although
The value of that property is not enough even for my mental compensation, but at least he is a knowledgeable candidate and we don’t have to go through the trouble of finding other qualified candidates."
No longer entangled in the goblin issue, Fin said with emotion: "No one believes it. You also told Jermaine and the others."
"Yes, 100% truthful."
"Then what do you believe?"
"Anything a person does must have its own interests. Of course, the interests I refer to are not narrow things like money or treasures, but also include services for the comfort of life, direct or indirect help, or
It is an expectation for the future, or even just spiritual satisfaction. As long as you understand the interests of others and what you can provide, is there any overlap between the two? As long as there is, and both parties believe that what each other provides is
Equivalent exchange means that there is room for cooperation or transaction between the two. As long as the interests can be maintained, this cooperation will continue, and it does not matter whether there is trust or not."
"Does the most basic trust between people still exist?"
"To be honest, I don't like to use the word 'trust', because it is usually accompanied by the not-so-good word 'betrayal'. No matter which one, it is too heavy for me. If everything is only about interests, cooperation will come.
, if it doesn’t work, go for it, and the reason for parting ways is just because the originally equivalent interests have become unequal. Then the solution is also very simple, that is, add more money yourself, or simply end the cooperative relationship. Thinking about it this way, in this world
Things will be much simpler. You don’t have to worry about whether others will betray you or not, because there is no trust in the first place.”
Fen only felt various physical discomforts to someone's long speech, but could not come up with any rebuttal. Talking about the outlook on life with others has never been a lich's strong point. What she is good at is just silencing people with a gentle iron fist.
Then she bowed her head obediently. So she changed her sitting position, showing off her beautiful figure, and asked sweetly: "What about me? Is it trust? Or profit?"
"I can't defeat you anyway, and I can't escape your grasp. Believe it or not, is there a need to discuss it?" someone said very bachelorly.
Just as he was about to stretch out, puff up his chest or something, Fen was stunned for a moment when he heard this. After a moment, he said with a wry smile: "Although I guessed what you were thinking a long time ago, do you think I heard such a direct answer?
, what response should be better?”
After saying haha, Lin said: "At this time, you can just laugh. Ha, don't be angry. Think on the bright side and be happy. In this world, if you are serious, you will lose."
With an annoyed snort, Fen decided not to discuss such things with this man. Instead, he asked about practical issues and said: "You said before that you wanted to find someone who was willing to help you build a magic tower? Really?
?”
"Yes. This is the fastest way."
"Why don't you build one yourself?" Fen asked.
"Building it yourself seems to have more freedom in the future, but the magic tower is not allowed to be inherited. When the tower owner dies, the ownership of the magic tower will belong to the association. Since sooner or later it will be used to make wedding dresses for others, then what form will be used?
, will it be important to realize your dream?”
"I just won't leave, what will they do?"
"No, don't be like this. There is no reason for us not to abide by the rules that everyone abides by, not to mention that it is not an anti-humanity or immoral request. And in my opinion, instead of turning this dangerous war like the Magic Tower
Weapons should be treated as inheritance and handed over to the stupid next generation. It is better to return them to the association and ask them to choose a suitable successor. This would be better for the world."
"Is this really good?"
"For such a long time, the opposition among the magicians has not reached a consensus among the majority. Doesn't this mean that rational magicians agree to regard the magic tower as an important public property and are willing to use it as a
The most reasonable distribution. After all, this is not an ordinary property, but a weapon more powerful than a war fortress."
Back on Earth, who had ever heard that ordinary people could buy a tank, drive it on the road and crush it at will, and fire a few cannons on the road if nothing happened. Even if the owner of the car got angry, he could still continue it for his son.
Come on. A government that can do this will probably have to change its leadership within two days.
Seeing that the Lich had no reaction, Lin continued: "Not to mention accumulating wealth and building a tower by oneself, and relying on the power of others are completely different things. How long does it take to accumulate wealth in the former? Don't look at it, we seem to be very good at making money.
.In fact, when I was at the height of my wealth, I couldn’t even build the first floor of a standard magic tower.”
"It's really so expensive!" the Lich said in surprise.
"Oh, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Maybe you can just bring out some magical materials. You can tell me whether it is a rare item or something you can just pick up on the roadside. But, these things are
You’ve never cared about the price, right?”
"Do you need to be concerned?" Fen slightly tilted his head and blinked his beautiful eyes.
After patting her head, someone remembered who the person opposite was. Money was not even a number to her. Whatever she wanted, she took it, no one dared to ask her for it. Thinking back on whether she had done it or not
The few interesting and commemorative gadgets have all become the private collection of a certain lich. If you want to see them again or play with them, you can't get them. I'm crying. Lin had to say helplessly:
"In short, using the power of others to build a magic tower will of course have corresponding conditions and restrictions, but it will get you closer to your goal faster than accumulating enough wealth to build the tower yourself. I don't have that much time.
I can't afford to wait several generations to build a magic tower."
Fen was silent for a long time and then said: "You still want to go back."
"Being a stranger in a foreign land." He recited a sentence in a nostalgic tone. Lin said: "People always have to return to their roots after falling leaves. Death in a foreign land is nothing." He smiled freely and remembered the time before traveling.
All kinds of things, showing a nostalgic expression, and said: "Even if I can just take a look before I die, I am willing to do it."
He may seem cold on the outside, but once you get to know him, you will feel his warm side. But once you get to know him, you will realize that his enthusiasm is never poured into people. But the coldness in his bones cannot be faked.
