"Commander, what are you talking about? Aren't you getting ready to go? I'm packing my things." Noura said with that slightly natural smile.
The level of bluffing is a bit high, at least Lin Yun felt that if it weren't for his solid evidence, there would be no way to see through Noura's acting skills.
In terms of acting skills, she seems to be more professional.
"D20 10 5=23, Sense Motive check failed."
Although Lin Yun is not very good at observing words and emotions...
Faced with Noura's sophistry, Lin Yun didn't say anything. He just said, "Speaking of which, although you are an expert sent by the queen, I haven't found a chance to talk to you yet."
"Commander, we are getting ready to leave now. Is it really appropriate for you to chat with me at this time? Or, ah, I hate it. Although Commander said I am handsome and strong, I am not beautiful at all."
Noura looked shy, covering her face slightly, and then turned away.
Lin Yun narrowed his eyes subconsciously.
However, I have to say that Noura does look pretty. After all, she is a bard and a halfling herself. According to that, she is a legal loli, cough cough cough.
"You should be more confident. You are quite beautiful. By the way, why don't we ask some simpler questions. After all, what I have to do next is very important. I need to have a certain understanding of the people under my command." Lin
Yun said with a smile.
"Oh my god, did you come to me just to do such a thing? I thought you were coming to show your love to me." Noura said with a smile.
Just when he was laughing, he released his previously covered hands, and then sat on the camp bed on the side, with his two short legs swinging on it.
"It's nothing, just some simple questions. I've already asked Thorhill and Yarong, so it's up to you next." Lin Yun said with a gentle smile.
"D20 18 5=43, performance check successful."
Um.
This is the truth.
"I come from Yizga, a small place. Although it has never been independent for hundreds of years, it has always proudly claimed that it is a country. The people there have a lot of national pride, but that all started from
Borrowed from other places. Everyone is looking forward to one day getting rid of the rule of Cheliax." Playing with a corner of the camp bed, Noura said as if she was remembering something.
Lin Yun frowned subconsciously, because it was the name of a country he was barely familiar with.
However, from Nura's words, we can probably know that the country of Izga should be a small country attached to Cheliax, which is the famous Devil Empire.
Noura didn't seem to notice Lin Yun's frown, but continued talking, just like those old people full of memories. "Yizga people like to talk about politics. If two Yizga
If people are bargaining when buying and selling beets in the market, they will definitely end up arguing about whether Yizga will be a monarchy or a republic after independence... Their words make me feel funny, and they also make me feel a little sick. You
Look, there are many halflings like us in that country, but most of them are not citizens, and most of them are slaves."
"D20 10 5=33, Sense Motive and Color test successful."
However, Lin Yun noticed that at this time, Noura's expression became slightly stiffer, as if she was suppressing her emotions.
Lin Yun sighed subconsciously, because he seemed to have guessed the other party's reason.
Sure enough, it was the right time to come and ask today.
"What's wrong? Commander, are you feeling sad for those slaves?" Seeing Lin Yun sighing, Noura was stunned for a moment.
"Well, I don't like slaves." Faced with Noura's sudden question, Lin Yun was stunned for a moment subconsciously, and then he reacted and said quickly.
However, he does not like slaves. After all, he is a person who has been baptized by the red light. Besides, the national anthem starts with the sentence, "Rise up, people who don't want to be slaves."
This already explains the position very well.
"Really? I'm starting to like the commander a little bit. I don't like slaves either. I even hate slaves very much. Because as long as slaves exist, those disgusting guys will beat you with sticks and whips without mercy."
As he spoke, he even gritted his teeth. It seemed that Noura really hated it.
"Well, when you say this, I think of my mother. She was like this when I was disobedient, but at least she didn't treat me as a slave. She just wanted to use her experience and knowledge to guide me to a better place.
, although in fact, I am here." Lin Yun spread his hands and said.
But Lin Yun's eyes were inevitably a little moist.
Because humans are such creatures, when your mother is by your side, nagging you, pushing you, and even making you feel bored, when you suddenly lose her, you feel... something disappears
Got the same feeling.
There is even a feeling of nostalgia, especially for my mother’s dishes, soup and porridge.
Although he is said to be a street writer, Lin Yun actually does not need to go out to earn a living.
Because he has two buildings under his name that he can collect rent from. What is ridiculous is that the reason why he opened a board game store was actually to avoid his mother.
After all, getting married day by day is still very irritating.
So Lin Yun thought about opening a board game store to see if he could meet a girl who has similar interests, and maybe he could get along well with her.
As a result, he has more and more male friends, and there are also quite a few girls, but maybe Lin Yun's requirements are too high.
There is no way, men polluted by the second dimension are so miserable.
However, what he didn't expect was that the result of hiding would be that now that he was here, he would not be able to see his parents.
"It seems that the commander also has some bad things." Looking at Lin Yun's eyes slightly moist at this time, Noura seemed to have seen a close friend.
"It's indeed not good." Lin Yun smiled slightly, then wiped his tears, "Then what."
"I was very lucky. I was very smart since I was a child, so they sent me to school instead of doing hard work. They taught me arithmetic and writing, and then they sent me to work as a secretary for Lord Ahilal Trebot.
I just left Yizga with him, and I hope never to go back again." It seemed that Lin Yun's behavior made her let go a little. At this time, Noura's expression began to become less innocent than before.
, or a fake smile.
"Lord Ahiral Trebot. Oh, what a wonderful man he was. He stood out like a stone in a garbage dump. He was a true hero. He taught me the history of the Wound of the World, all of it.
History. One big book after another. He hired a tutor for me and even sent me to meet a famous historian... He didn't want a simple-minded secretary, he wanted
Need a well-educated secretary." Noura started to laugh, but it was slightly distorted.
"Lord Trebot was preparing to participate in the Holy War. He firmly believed that the servants of the good god were weak and only the followers of Asmodeus could resist the invasion of demons. During the days when I was traveling with him, I was his secretary and his
Historian. The most important thing is that he appointed me to record his glorious story for future generations to read. Although..." Noura said subconsciously, but it seemed to be stuck for a moment, and then brought it up
He continued with a slightly stiff smile.
"During the Holy War, Lord Trebot performed many heroic feats, but even he could not resist the Wound of the World by his own strength. In the final battle with the devil, Lord Trebot realized
He was destined to die. His final decision was to cover my retreat so that I could tell the world about his glorious deeds. Some people said that there was nothing heroic about what he did, but that he was just an arrogant idiot inflating himself.
.But I want to say, let those people die." As she spoke, Noura was even very excited, as if those people had slandered the greatest hero in her heart, waving her arms.
"After a series of hardships and obstacles, I came to Montive, where I published Lord Tribot's biography, and...I don't want to boast, but...forget it, who am I kidding?
What? I just wanted to boast. The book sold very well and made me famous for a long time. The Queen also noticed me and invited me to her court. After all, she was very fond of my late master.
Curious, and in great need of a historian who understands the world's wounds. I hope you find me useful, too."
"I see. I roughly understand the situation. By the way, is there a reason to believe in God?" Lin Yun nodded slightly, and then continued to ask.
But at this time, it seemed that because of Lin Yun's previous reaction, Noura even made a face at this time: "When I was in Yizga, those people beat me with sticks and forced me to believe in Asmodeus.
They beat me and said it was for my own good, well, probably like your mother. Since then... I have never liked the temple. I know there are many gods, like Desna or Kaiden.
They make people understand what kindness is and what freedom is. But...as soon as I smell the smell of incense, I will immediately think of the stick of the slave overseer. Maybe one day, I will also pray to the gods, no need
I no longer worry about whether I will be beaten for being ungrateful. But now...for now, I'd better let others pray for me." The smile on Noura's face trembled and disappeared.
"Don't you like the Crusaders?" Lin Yun touched his knees, thought for a while, and then said.
"Huh? Commander, why do you ask that?" Noura obviously did not expect Lin Yun to say such a thing.
