Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1078: Terribly Calm

?

Riding alone, Father Ian left the town on his skinny horse. Seeing Allen on the wall, he waved his hand, and then gradually became a black spot in the distance. Allen returned to a residential house in the town, where the mayor arranged for him to rest. Walking into the hall on the first floor, Regis was cleaning his iron sword, Adele was sitting by the window flipping through a book of poetry, Lucy and Father Miro were playing chess. After greeting everyone, Allen returned to his room.

A moment later there was a knock on the door, and it was Edward who entered. When he closed the door, he said casually: "I have settled his salary with the guide, paid him twice the original price, and reminded him not to disclose the matter of Tallinn Aisha."

Allen said "hmm", looked out the window and said, "I want to borrow your Tallinn gem."

"No problem." Edward narrowed his eyes and said, "You want to cause some trouble for Marquis Peel?"

"Do you think it's possible?"

"Of course, you can also use the power of the Marquis to help us clean up the remaining cavemen, if he has the power." Edward walked to the door and knocked on the door lightly with his fingers. Not long after, a Darkblade warrior appeared, Edward whispered something in his ear, and the warrior nodded and left. Edward just returned to the room: "It's done, cavemen don't march during the day, so we should still be able to catch up."

"Very well, then I have one more thing to ask you."

Edward's pupils quietly turned into ice blue, which made him look very indifferent, he said indifferently: "You don't need to ask, I wanted to tell you today too. Yes, when I was in Tallinn Aisha, I did it on purpose Let the Tallinn gems be exposed to the eyes of the cold wind."

"That's reasonable, otherwise, with your prudence, how could you get mixed up with a mere corpse." Allen said coldly: "So, you don't plan to explain?"

"What explanation do you want to hear?" Edward didn't avoid Alan's eyes, and his tone was calm and almost indifferent: "In the complex environment of Tallinn Aisha, it is very difficult to kill Ice Wind. I don't think it can be removed with Tallinn gems." There's nothing wrong with drawing out from the ground."

"That's right, but you didn't let me know beforehand."

"You also know that reptile is not an ordinary beast, it has intelligence, and it is not low. Firstly, there was no time at that time, and secondly, if I told you, I was afraid that you would show your flaws and let Bingfeng see through. Facts have also proved that Bingfeng The wind did tick, and we solved one of the biggest hidden dangers in that dungeon."

"Then do you know how many people we sacrificed in order to kill Bingfeng, and how many people in this small town sacrificed. If you told me in advance, at least I can be prepared and not so many people die!" Ai Lun said in a low voice.

The atmosphere in the room is dignified,

Edward lowered his gaze: "About this point, I admit that I did make some mistakes. First, I didn't expect that the ice wind would drive the caveman out of the dungeon; second, I didn't expect you to stay for an unnamed town." Come down. Originally, these two mistakes could be made up for. As for the cavemen, I originally planned to drive them all night to lead them to the territory of the Marquis of Peel, so that we can use the Marquis' army to deal with the ice wind, and you don't have to take risks yourself. If we do this, there will be no second mistake, and we will not sacrifice half of the fighters."

"What about Dragon Gun Town?"

"This is what I can't understand. This town is just a chance meeting on the road, and the people in the town are not your subjects. In my opinion, you don't have to take risks for them at all. They are not your responsibility, Lord Alan. We lead The caveman left, as for whether the town escaped unharmed or was captured by the caveman. To be honest, it doesn't affect my plan at all, but you..."

Suddenly Allen punched Edward, and Edward's eyes changed slightly. Then it was hit straight on, and the whole person flew out and hit the wall, and bounced off again. He lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up. Blood flowed from his nostrils and mouth. Allen asked coldly: "Why don't you hide?"

Edward stood up as if nothing had happened, wiped the blood and said, "If it makes you feel better, it's not a big deal to get punched."

"So this is where you scare me! Edward, although our races are different, I believe that no matter what kind of creature is emotional. Even the residents of the chaotic star field, they also have emotions, but their emotions tend to be Evil. But you, you are as calm as a machine at all times. Yes, Dragonlance Town is not my territory, and the people here are not my subjects, and I have no obligation to protect them. But their disaster is ultimately due to us Now, don't you feel a little guilty?" Allen said loudly.

Edward looked at him calmly: "Guilty, self-blame, such negative emotions will only affect my judgment. My job is to assist you, and it is the brain of the whole team. What I need to do is to exchange for the greatest return at the least cost." interests. This is the criterion for me to make all decisions. You are not calm now, and there will be no results if you continue to talk. I suggest you calm down first, and we can talk later. My lord, impulsiveness will not Making things better will only make things worse. The important thing is, we can't afford to lose, so I have to be very careful every step of the way."

Seeing him about to leave, Alan sighed: "Edward, I admit that you are right in many things. But you have to remember that you are not a machine, you also have life and soul. There are some things that we cannot simply We must judge based on the relationship of interests, otherwise, such a life is meaningless at all.”

"I will remember that when I make a decision in the future, I will modify it with reference to your emotional needs."

He left, Allen gave a wry smile, the guy simply misinterpreted what he meant. Lucy pushed the door open, blinked and said, "It seems that your conversation was very unpleasant."

Allen raised his forehead and said: "That guy Edward doesn't know what he has experienced before. I don't believe he was born so cold."

"He is indeed very smart and calm. But you have to be careful, he is a double-edged sword. If you don't handle one well, I'm afraid you will cut yourself." Lucy said, holding Alan's face.

"He is very important to us, maybe, I should try to understand his past."

Night fell again.

Two yellow lights lit up, and a human-shaped black figure crawled out of the cave. The night wind blew a few sparse yellow hairs on its head, and it squatted on the rock and looked around. Then it saw a gopher passing between the cracks in the stones, its eyes lit up, it jumped over sensitively, and pounced on the gopher. The gopher struggled desperately, but it caught it with both hands and brought it to its mouth. A lipless mouth opened, and it snapped off the gopher's head with a mouth full of fangs, and gnawed with gusto.

While eating the gopher, it turned its head left and right, its eyes randomly scanned the surroundings, and suddenly something flickered in the night. The familiar faint blue light shook his whole body, and he didn't even bother to eat the gopher. It threw it away casually, and then flew towards the flickering light spot with hands and feet. More and more cavemen crawled out of that cave. These lives were turned upside down day and night, and their work and rest were no different from bats. Sleep during the day and act at night. There are still two or three days away from the entrance of the big tunnel, so every minute of the night must not be wasted. They must hurry in the dark and find a hiding place to rest before sunrise. Otherwise the sunlight on the surface would blind them, although the eyes are not as effective to them as the nose.

Several troglodytes began to fight over the discarded rat carcass, until a troglodyte with a totem pattern all over his body and a necklace strung with Tallinn gemstones jumped beside them, punching and kicking them apart Come. That was the leader of the cave dwellers, with a high status, ordinary cave dwellers didn't dare to resist at all, and could only let him beat him up. At this time, there was a roar of joy in the distance, and the previous caveman ran back, holding a crystal fragment in both hands and presenting it to the leader.

The caveman leader took it and screamed. He compared this irregular fragment with the necklace around his neck, and found that there was no essential difference between the two. It was clearly a fragment of the Tallinn gem. The leader caught the caveman screaming and kicked it again. The caveman pointed towards the direction where the gem fragment was found, and then led the leader there.

Not long after, they found a similar flash of light in the northeast direction. Although it was several kilometers away, it was extremely obvious under the night. The leader of the caveman let out a long howl, and those of the same kind who came out of the hiding place understood the meaning of the howl. The remnants of the troglodytes began to change direction. They could not allow the Tallinn gems to remain on the surface, which would make their lives worse than death.

Under the dark night, an undercurrent is quietly moving.

Flame City is bathed in the quiet moonlight.

The city takes its name from the family coat of arms of the Marquess de Peel, a blazing fire. In order to make the city more in line with its name, the Marquis of Peel has placed braziers on the entire guard wall, and stipulated that all the braziers must be lit when night falls, so that the city looks like the flames are rising, and it lives up to its name.

In this way, the night watchmen were exhausted. Gods, everyone knows that running around the guard wall of Yanguang City will break your legs. After all, this city is not small, and the guard wall is naturally very long. A few soldiers who were in charge of lighting the brazier tonight were sitting behind an arrow stack, lazing around. Anyway, their chief was not on the guard wall now, but was hanging out with a certain woman in his office.

"Let's make a bet. I say that Officer Darren will die on that woman's belly sooner or later." A soldier with a freckled face said, "Once I passed the officer's office by chance, you don't know How loudly Luo Wei yelled and yelled, one can imagine how much effort our officer had to put on her."

"You didn't pass by, you went to peep." Another yellow-haired soldier smiled and said: "But speaking of it, that woman Luo Wei is as big as a cow and has long legs. If I can fuck her, I will die." Also willing."

"Come on, then Lord Darren will cut off your eggs to feed his hounds."

Several soldiers suddenly laughed, and one soldier lay on the city wall and laughed so hard. Smiling and laughing, he calmed down, "Hey" and pointed to a hillside outside the city: "Look over there, what is that?"

So a few heads poked out from behind the wall, and the soldiers saw that there was something emitting a faint blue light on the hillside.
