465. in the first place
Egg moved his hands slightly, and looked at Sean with a somewhat complicated expression.
He didn't have much resentment towards Sean, or hatred. In the floating island, the strong can be respected no matter what the occasion, even if there are disagreements or contradictions between each other's interests, but respecting a strong person is still the basic concept value that the people of the floating island have been educated since childhood. Therefore, even if Sean is not from the floating island and has defeated Egg, Egg still has no resentment, at most he is a little vigilant.
After all, Sean is not from the Floating Island, but from the Realm.
No matter how much Sean says, Sean's identity is always very suspicious until Levi and Alyssa wake up.
However, at this time, Sean didn't care about these problems.
The only thing he's interested in right now is this trigger-type mission on the Floating Island.
With an enemy of 10,000 men, this is definitely not a wise choice if it is stormed. Not to mention the casualties, with Sean's current identity and situation, I'm afraid it's impossible to gain any trust, so let alone taking over the command, I'm afraid that no one will even adopt it.
That's an embarrassment.
Rubbing the stubble growing from his chin, Sean sighed, "Maybe you shouldn't have chosen to fight back then." ”
"What did you say?" Hearing Sean's muttering, Iger couldn't hear the content clearly, so he asked.
"Nothing." Sean shook his head.
Levi and Alyssa didn't wake up, apparently not because of the severity of their injuries - of course, in the current situation, it could probably be regarded as a coma caused by the heavy injuries. After all, this is a "plot need", so Sean is naturally able to express understanding. Take this as the first corollary. Later, Iger led people to appear, and it was not a "coincidence" or "accident". It was an inevitability that was predestined from the beginning.
The next development is very humane.
After all, Miracle is a game that has always had a high degree of freedom as its most important selling point from the very beginning.
Therefore, different players will definitely have different choices in the face of this situation. Therefore, it will naturally have different influences and branches on the subsequent "storyline". Shaun is a little glad that he didn't go on a killing spree - it was because Egger and Levi and Alyssa knew each other, and this was also the territory of his titular sister.
Now it seems. This kind of thoughtful thinking, which greatly helped him, will inevitably lead him into a worsening crisis.
If he really kills Egger and the others, I'm afraid he will be forced to join the rebels' camp at this time.
At this moment, Sean straightened out all the causes and consequences. In the same way, it also made him clearly aware of what he needed to solve next-trust.
How to win the trust of the floating island is the problem he needs to solve on the first priority at present.
Obviously, the only way to win the trust of the people of the Floating Island is to deal with these rebels. He was able to enter the floating islands of the higher sequences. And if Sean didn't guess wrong, I'm afraid that after solving the crisis of confidence in the floating island and the rebel problem, he will have to find a way to solve the unconscious of Levi and Elisa, after all, he will come to the floating island because of the words of Levi and Elisa. So if these two people don't wake up, it will probably be difficult to see Gypril.
Thinking that he still had so many things to deal with, Sean couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
At least. At first, he thought that the matter of coming to the floating island should be very smooth. But I didn't expect it. actually triggered such a cheating event, so I dispersed with Andrew and others. Sean also felt that it was not a surprise - if it really developed according to the history of the game, it would be absolutely impossible to get the assistance of Andrew and others here, after all, the difference in strength was too great.
Sean stood up, then patted the dust on his body, and his eyes were exceptionally bright.
This kind of look has not appeared on Sean's body for a long time.
He tried to do some movement to warm up his stiff and cold body from the long sitting position, and of course he made some shouting sounds from time to time. For Sean, the biggest fear is the lack of information and the asymmetry of intelligence, but after Iger has collected enough intelligence information here and deduced the current matter to be solved, it is not so difficult for Sean.
To be able to become the leader of the elite group of one of the ten guilds of "Miracle", Sean can't lead a team for so long without a bit of real material.
"What are you doing?" Seeing that Sean's behavior was a little strange, Iger couldn't help asking.
He even wondered if the people of the realm were all so strange - saying strange words, doing strange movements, and of course, the strange smiles that appeared from time to time. Egger, who was still a little curious and yearning for the earth realm, after seeing Sean, I don't know why, suddenly stopped being curious and yearning for the earth realm, or the world of the floating island was safer.
"Oh, I'm trying to see if I can exude some of the aura of a tyrant or something, so that you can bow your heads and worship." Sean teased with a smile, "In this case, I will probably be able to save a lot of energy for the rest of the matter." …… Things like brushing favorability are the most troublesome. ”
"Distribute some ...... The spirit of the king? You're talking about realms, right? Is that what the people of your realm call the realm? Egger's cousin resembles a student who is full of curiosity about the unknown, "It's strange that you people from the realm are called that." ”
Sean sighed helplessly.
People in this world really can't understand his words. At this moment, he suddenly missed his former companions in the game, although those guys are usually not particularly reliable, but at least there are some cold jokes and the like, everyone can understand.
Just like now, if he says something like "the spirit of the king", the muscle warrior who claims to be proficient in all kinds of novels for ten years will definitely follow up with a tacit understanding: "I have been shocked by your king's spirit." Allow me to bow down to you! "And then there will be a gesture like a bow. Then, the rest of the group was sure to make a lot of jokes and stuff.
But now......
Sean glanced around. Although Egger didn't say anything more, the look of vigilance in his eyes was still there. As for other students with lower strength. There wasn't too much fear on their faces, but they still stood silently on the side. His expression was a little cold.
To put it bluntly, none of these people that Iger is bringing with him now trust him.
"Can you bring Levi and Alyssa back?" Sean asked suddenly.
"Take it back?" Iger wasn't quite sure what Sean meant.
"They're injured and unconscious, there's no medical treatment here, I want you to bring people back, and we don't have the manpower to continue to care for them." Sean said in a calm voice, since he had already made a decision in his heart, there was no need to continue to delay, the sooner the matter was resolved. The more space you can provide for the next move.
"What do you mean......" Egg froze for a moment, "you're going to act with us?" ”
"Or else?" Sean asked with some curiosity, "It was Levi and Alyssa who brought me up, and now the two of them are unconscious, I am not familiar with my life, and it is rare to meet him...... And it seems that he has a good relationship, so naturally I can only follow you temporarily. Are you not sure to let me return with Lévy? ”
"I ......"
Without waiting for Egger to say anything, Sean reached out to stop Egger's words and said in a deep voice, "Even if you don't worry." I won't be reassured either. …… The reason is simple, just as you don't trust me, I won't trust you so lightly. The only people I trust are Lévy and Alyssa. As for following you. It's not that I can trust you, but you can't beat me, so even if you have any bad intentions. I was also able to crack lightly. …… Although the truth is very cruel, I think that since we are likely to act together for the time being. Then it's better for us to spread out all the qiē problems. ”
Egger's brow furrowed slightly, lost in thought.
Other students. It's also looking at each other.
As Sean said, they didn't trust the black-haired young man in front of them, because he wasn't from the Floating Island, but because of his strength, he had to submit to him. But now, the other party actually uncovered this fig leaf mercilessly, which really humiliated them, but even so, the instinct of respect for the strong still made them choose to keep silent.
Besides, their captain is Egger at the moment, and they just need to follow Egger's orders - a bit of a self-deluding and ostrich mentality, but anyway, it's still an attitude gesture.
"I see." Egg nodded heavily, "Although your words make me very uncomfortable, what you say does make sense. ”
Sean nodded slightly, not saying anything more.
He knows that gaining the trust of others is not an easy task - both in games and in reality.
At the beginning of the game, if you want to become friends with an NPC, if you miss the initial phase degree determination, then you can only improve your friendship by gò trust. The trust task is a kind of periodic recurring task - the so-called periodicity is a series of recurring tasks released by NPCs after a certain amount of time. After all, NPCs also have their own lives and things, and it is impossible to stand there stupidly waiting for you to brush up on goodwill and trust, and the tasks announced by them are of a unique nature, that is to say, whoever completes it first, and the person who has already done half of this task will do it in vain.
There are two types of recurring tasks: large loops with a minimum of 20 tasks and small loops with only 3 to 10 tasks.
At present, helping the people of the floating island to suppress the rebellion is obviously not a cyclical task, it should be a task link that belongs to the determination of the degree of phase. This first acquaintance is the only opportunity to become friends directly. If you miss it, if you want to become friends later, you need to rely on constant contact to express it.
Sean knows that reality is not a game after all, so there will be no task to brush up on favorability or trust. But in the current situation where the mission is obviously triggered, he can only win Egger's favor through guò to add enough chips for the future. If he couldn't even gain Egg's trust, things would be difficult to do after that, which was not something Sean wanted to see.
And after Iger and Sean settled, the rest of the matter became simpler.
Iger quickly ordered four men to make improvised stretchers and carry Levi and Alyssa up, and the four men sent them back to the rear. According to the original plan, a large force would arrive from the Upper Sequence Floating Island today, where they would set up an outpost base to block the path of these rebels trying to return to the Upper Floating Island. As long as Levi and Alyssa are sent back here, they will be safe in a hurry, and they will be able to report on their work.
When everything was done, the sky was completely bright.
For a group of golden powerhouses and Sanctuary powerhouses, not resting for a night would not affect their combat effectiveness too much, so after obtaining Sean's consent, Egger ordered to continue the departure. In this case, Sean did not choose to be too showy, mainly because he was unfamiliar with his life path, and he had not yet established enough trust between them, so Sean chose to obey Iger's arrangements and instructions.
Iger was still a little surprised that Sean was so cooperative. This naturally made some changes to his impression of Sean, but that's about it.
The floating island of the plain at the bottom of the ladder is even flatter than Sean had imagined.
The size of a standard barony is not too large, but if you don't consider other factors to cross the entire territory, the time is naturally not very long. However, the time required to divide the entire barony into regions and strictly carry out the exploration mission is not ordinarily short.
At the end of the day, Sean and Iger and the others could be said to have gained nothing at all.
Of course, it can't be said that there is no gain.
In fact, this floating island of the plains is used for grazing, and there are a large number of cattle, horses, sheep and other domestic animals on it. Now, however, all of these animals are gone, apparently hoarded for food by the rebels. It has to be said that this tactic is very similar to the scorched earth tactic, which not only increases the difficulty of supply for the pursuers on the floating island, but also allows the side to obtain enough supplies and food, providing the possibility of long-term combat.
Sean soon realized that the people of the Floating Island definitely possessed a higher level of strategic awareness and tactics than the average Earth Citizen. (To be continued......)
