Chapter 145 I Am the Main One
Trust is mutual.
Beware is also mutual.
Link was guarding Iris and Munro from backstabbing.
Iris and Munro were also guarding against Link's backstab.
The human heart cannot withstand temptation.
People's hearts are also changeable.
So it would be more appropriate to be more thoughtful.
Iris was in no hurry to dispel the protective shield.
Instead, he first took out the Free Eagle's control brain from his bag to monitor the underground hidden fortification area.
It was confirmed that Link and Link's team had no movement out after entering the underground hidden fortification.
Only then did Iris use violent means to shatter the crumbling protective shield.
Several shots of water replenishing techniques and wood restoring techniques were cast on the unconscious people to soothe the shock they received.
Munro was the first to wake up from his coma.
"How is it going?"
Opening his eyes, he was dazed for a while, and then he regained consciousness. Munro asked first,
Then his face suddenly changed and he said angrily, "Are you crazy? In order to save a stranger, you threw two 'death knells' at our heads? Are you afraid that our death will not be miserable enough?"
The Great Killer is the nickname of the wizard Seren.
Link has always used it.
The real name is Death Knell, and the meaning is literal.
To ring the death knell and send people to their death.
"hey-hey……"
Iris smiled coquettishly and said, "I'm on top. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
As she said that, Iris' tone changed, revealing a bit of disapproval, "But it's not as serious as you said. The worst thing is that you will be eliminated, and it won't really kill you!"
"伱......"
Munro was immediately furious.
This is a big competition between two districts. Isn’t it serious to be eliminated?
As soon as he opened his mouth, he held it back.
Forget it, Iris has such a crazy character, there is no use worrying about it.
Next time she encounters a similar situation, how dare she!
It's useless to say anything.
"Let's go back."
Munro simply ignored Iris, climbed up with difficulty, and then helped his friends one by one.
After they all woke up a little, they quickly left the pit with everyone.
Link isn't the only one who knows about civil engineering.
Munro's team also excavated highly defensible underground fortifications.
Just at the foot of the mountains on both sides.
According to the original plan, after the two teams flanked them left and right, they limited the pursuers to the trap area, killed as many people as possible, and then triggered the trap.
Before that, they had to get rid of the entanglement in time and retreat to safe areas on both sides.
Who would have thought that Iris got mad and threw two "death knells" from the sky.
No matter what the consequences will be.
Everyone in the Munro team and the Iris team was almost reimbursed.
Now that everyone is in bad condition, the two teams do not separate. They enter the same fortification and rest separately.
Munro set up a warning, approached Iris, and asked directly: "Where are they?"
Iris was holding a knife and peeling a fruit to eat.
She put a piece into her mouth, chewed it, and said, "Hide underground."
"They have been guarding against us for a long time."
Munro said thoughtfully and meaningfully.
"Hey."
Iris sneered, "As if you and I weren't on guard against him."
Munro's position on Iris was inconsistent and could change at any time without any solution.
I originally wanted to talk about other things, but I decided not to.
To avoid getting choked again.
Make yourself mad.
He simply returned to his resting area, lay down, and fell asleep.
After dealing with this wave of pursuers, you should be able to have a longer breathing time.
The heartstrings don't need to be so tight anymore.
A hill far away from the mountain basin.
The first-year leaders of several apprentice organizations in the North District who were in the opposition camp gathered together and looked at the mountain basin in the distance.
After the battle broke out, the reconnaissance witchcraft in the sky was disturbed by explosions, flames, and dust, and the picture presented was not particularly clear.
When the mushroom cloud erupted, it was completely unclear.
However, everyone present was not a humble person, so they could naturally guess what happened.
"They can't come back."
A man with a rather feminine face said indifferently, "I'm just telling you that if Munro dares to stay there, he must have set a trap. Be careful and don't be too reckless. You will not listen!"
"so what?"
Next to him, a woman who exuded coldness and had an ice-like temperament that made people stay away unconsciously hummed, "Even if all sixty people are killed, we can still gather more sixty people. I don't believe it." , Iris and Munro’s reserves are endless and can be consumed with us all the time!”
"I agree with continuing to consume them."
A fat man with fair skin, eyes habitually squinted, and a kind smile on his face echoed: "Iris, this crazy woman, is still very powerful in combat and destructive power, and has a rich net worth. Don't use up her reserves. , among us, whoever faces her will suffer."
"I didn't say we should go now!"
The feminine man was targeted one after another, and he groaned in dissatisfaction, "I'm just saying that it's not worthwhile to eliminate so many people in order to kill Iris and Munro. Those guys who were included in the square camp just sat back and watched as we mobilized our manpower and laid siege. You can’t guess what Iris and Munro’s intentions are? Even if we are not afraid of losses and kill them, what will we gain in the end?”
After a pause, the feminine man glanced at the two people who were vaguely united to target him, and emphasized every word: "You can't get anything!"
This statement is indeed not alarmist.
It is well-founded and worth pondering.
A tall and burly man who had been sitting back and watching the three people quarreling, now spoke out to persuade: "Okay, stop fighting. Since we are in the same camp, we should cooperate sincerely and not engage in internal strife like the other side."
As he said that, the burly man smiled and changed everyone's topic, "Tracy Lucia was eliminated so early. It's something I never thought about. Those people with 'pure blood' will, because of Iris After participating in it, he actually encouraged those in the positive camp to isolate this crazy woman Iris. It’s quite funny and interesting.”
"Speaking of the 'Pure Blood Will' group of guys, I suddenly remembered, aren't they planning to surround and kill Link Grande?"
The feminine man smiled conspiratorially, "I just saw that guy here. He was so damn fierce, and his witchcraft skills were so damn good! He didn't look like a country bumpkin from the Sea of Storms at all! Better than Iris. The crazy woman is still fierce. Just call the Pure Blood Will and let their positive camp kill each other. We sit back and watch the success or failure, and finally clean up the mess. Wouldn't it be better than fighting head-on?"
"snort!"
The cold woman squeezed out a voice from her nasal cavity to express her dissatisfaction.
She and Iris had a "deep hatred", so naturally she was unwilling to give up the opportunity to teach Iris a lesson in person.
It's a pity that she can't mindlessly object to this suggestion that is obviously beneficial to everyone.
Otherwise, sooner or later you will be kicked out of the small circle.
"This is a good idea, I like it."
The fair and fat man smiled and clapped, "Just let them 'dog eat dog'."
The burly man smiled and said, "Then where should I contact you?"
"Can."
"no problem."
"I have no objection."
The feminine man, the fair and fat man, and the cold woman each speak differently but have the same attitude.
After a good discussion, several people evacuated the hill.
Mountain basins, riversides, and deep underground.
Link walked into the hidden fortification and was thankful that the structure was still stable and there was no danger of collapse.
Then they saw Jasmine and Lanie confronting each other, and the atmosphere was tense.
"what's the situation?"
Walking between the two of them, slightly leaning towards Jasmine, Link blocked their line of sight and asked.
Jasmine snorted and said angrily: "Ask her if she can take care of her people! She also said that everything must be obeyed. She sounds like farts!"
"Are you going to take a rest first?"
Link looked at Jasmine and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "Go and rest first."
One sentence, same content, different tone.
When Jasmine heard this, the anger in her chest immediately dissipated a lot. She really gave up the confrontation and turned around to leave.
Link looked at Lanny Taylor at this time, without saying a word, but just staring into the other person's eyes quietly.
Lanie responded calmly and looked at Link.
For a long time, Link was convinced that Lanny Taylor had no intention of explaining first, so he said politely:
"I can forgive Isco's behavior as if you didn't know about it. But please explain what happened just now, okay?"
"good."
Lanny Taylor nodded, considered her words, and said:
"Earlier, you suddenly rushed out, and Jasmine immediately took over the command and issued the order. My team members did not execute it immediately, which delayed a little time. Jasmine was questioning me about this just now, asking me for an explanation."
"Well……"
Link pondered for a while and asked, "Can I know what caused the delay?"
Hearing this, Lani bit her lips and finally replied: "Because they didn't know whether they should accept Jasmine's command after you left, so they waited for my instructions first."
"I see."
Link figured out the ins and outs, thought for a while, made a decision, and still asked politely, "I did not explain in advance the order of command on the battlefield. I am also partly responsible for this. But after going through this, I I think this won’t happen again, right?”
Is Link really responsible?
Jasmine has always been the number two person on Link's team.
In Link's absence, Jasmine takes command, as is natural.
It was Lanie and the others who took the initiative to seek to join Link's team, not Link "begging" to join Lanie's team.
I gave Lanny Taylor face, but also had other concerns, so I didn't break up Lanny's team.
However, the matter of command power is a matter of convention.
Lanie Taylor is a smart person, she doesn’t need to say it explicitly, she should have a tacit understanding in this regard.
By taking the blame on himself, Link was giving Lanie a step down.
"Won't!"
Lanie replied decisively.
"Sure?"
"Sure!"
"Okay. Then, I hope you will do what you say."
Link had a serious look on his face and a serious tone, "If I can't do it, I can only say sorry."
"I see."
Lannie's eyes dimmed a little, and her face hidden under the veil couldn't be seen clearly, but it shouldn't be much better.
Returning to her nine team members, Lanny felt a little tired.
But he quickly cheered up.
The path you choose must be walked even on your knees.
Looking at her teammates who were waiting for her to speak, Lani did not blame her, but said calmly: "I gave everyone, including me, a chance. If there is another problem, we won't need them to rush us, and we will leave on our own in despair. Leave, do you understand?"
"Understood."
The nine team members were dejected and unable to respond.
"Okay. Let's just think about it. Think about it for yourself. Which is more important, personal emotions, or the competition between the two districts, performance rankings, and resources and welfare?"
Lani waved her hand, not wanting to say anything more.
No heavy hammer is needed to play the drum.
What should be understood will naturally be understood.
Those who don't wake up will never change until they die.
the other side.
Jasmine looked at Link steadily and asked, "Why take such a risk?"
Link knew what Jasmine was asking.
Even if the pursuers were in turmoil for a moment because of Isco's operation, it was indeed a good opportunity to counterattack.
But Link's desperate leap out of the trench and charge was too reckless.
This battle, from the beginning, did not belong to them.
There is no need to work so hard for other people's battles.
"Because there are countless more difficult battles waiting for us."
Link responded to Jasmine's gaze and gave an explanation, "When I first entered the academy, I wanted to keep a low profile and accumulate strength before talking about anything else.
However, all aspects of the college’s regulations and settings are ‘forcing’ us to show our talents.
In order to obtain resources and grow better and faster, I half-actively and half-forced to change my style.
After entering this world, I have always wondered why the academy named this two-district competition 'Pioneering the Other World'.
Even the seven side tasks all guide us to understand, investigate, and study the ecology of this world.
However, in a world without indigenous people, in a world on the verge of destruction, what potential is there to expand?
Later I figured it out.
What the college wants us to explore is not this world, but our hearts after entering this world.
And whatever the college wants, it will definitely come true! "
After a pause, Link asked meaningfully: "Can you ignore thousands of living things in this world for your own benefit?"
Jasmine opened her mouth, wanting to answer "yes".
But just as the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered the murals in the secret passage.
The aloof gods in this world once ignored thousands of living beings, but what outcome has come to them.
After swallowing her words, Jasmine began to think deeply about the meaning of Link's question.
For a long time, considering that this was a competition between the two districts of the academy, Jasmine thought about Link's words in conjunction with the academy's main missions and side missions.
Suddenly, Jasmine's eyes lit up.
She figured it out!
Meeting Link's expectant gaze, Jasmine answered softly but firmly: "I can!"
The background of a wizard is cold-blooded and rational.
If saving this strange world requires heavy sacrifice on your part, why save it?
If you don't get any benefits from destroying this strange world, why do you want to destroy it?
In all things, I am the master.
We cannot stick to so-called camps and positions.
This may be one of the profound reasons why the college arranged this competition between the two districts.
Let wizard apprentices lay the mental foundation to become a qualified wizard.
In this case, you can get a glimpse of the big picture from a young age.
As far as the college is concerned, with me as the main priority, it is natural that the interests of the college come first.
It is not difficult to understand what Link said that there are countless more difficult battles waiting for them.
If a college wants to grow and develop, it must participate in competition.
Competition will cause conflicts.
There are only two ways to resolve conflicts, reconciliation or war.
Therefore, in the foreseeable future, there will be countless academy wars waiting for Link, Jasmine, the Friends Group and the Social Terrorist Group, and everyone.
Now, why don’t we take advantage of the academy’s death-free protection mechanism to accumulate more war experience?
Is it possible to wait until we are on the battlefield of life and death and then learn it temporarily?
"It's still too risky."
Even after she had figured this out, Jasmine still couldn't help complaining, "Don't let it happen again!"
"Um."
Link nodded, not sure if he heard it or not.
Will he change it for Jasmine?
