262 Survival of the Race!
"If the Life Old Man dies, then the Life Curse will disappear?"
Seeing that the dying old man handed over the withered spirit of life so lightly, Bai Xiong guessed that it was not easy at first, and he was also given an assassination mission later. It seems that the back should not be so simple, what will be the mission after the assassination mission?
"The curse of life was given to the scorpion man, so when he dies, the curse will disappear with him! Because he is about to die, he will let us assassinate the chief of the sand scorpion people, and let the sand scorpion people fight among themselves for the position of chief! When the time comes, there will be a large-scale battle in the desert. Even if the battle subsides, the Sand Scorpion's strength is weakened, and they will not capture the Oasis of Life in a short period of time. Reg thought for a moment and continued: "But in the history of the game, this old man has done everything for the Oasis of Life, and it shouldn't be so easy for us to get the Spirit of Life later. ā
"I also think I'll have to find a way to deal with that old man." The white bear only remembered now that the old man of life just asked them to assassinate the scorpion chieftain and agreed, and the system did not pop up the task. So even if they complete the task, it is possible that the old man of life did not fulfill his promise.
"Now it's impossible to say that you don't do the assassination mission, we'll just have such a clue! It's better to find someone to watch the old man now, or we'll be in trouble if we can't find him when we get the head of the Scorpion Chief. "Reg always felt that the old man was unreliable, and it was possible to run away when the time came. After all, this hero will do anything for the sake of the oasis of life.
Lei Gejian yƬ Bai Xiong went back to look at the old man of life, after all, Bai Xiong was the one who took the task, and he had the title of temple messenger and god messenger on his body, this old man should not dare to mess around. Anyway, after the white bear turned to Wangcheng to take a screenshot, he had nothing to do. If you want to enter the royal city, you should rely on the Iron Winged Wolf and Mary, and others can be used as auxiliaries.
The white bear sent some screenshots outside the royal city, and after squatting and watching for a while, he found a place where no one was there and canceled the escape into the darkness, and then moved back with the stars. Since the white bear has entered the main city of quicksand, he can directly move in next time. The Iron Winged Wolf and Mary have entered the main city of Quicksand, and the rest is left to them.
Again, the commander of this mission is Reg, who has already figured out how to infiltrate the royal city, and now enters the sandstorm area with Storm Thunderbolt, Angus, Black Wind and Oka to prepare for the next move. After entering the main city of Quicksand, the Ironwinged Wolf and Mary began to search for the house of the members of the Sand Scorpion Council.
White Bear and Yanxue returned to the main city of the owner of life, and were responsible for watching the old man of life and asking for some news about the spirit of life. Now that White Bear knew too little about the Spirit of Life, he wondered if there was any other way to restore the life force of the Spirit of Life.
"You're done?" The old man who was sitting on the chair of the master in the courtyard felt very suspicious when he saw the white bear and Yanxue coming back. He hadn't sensed that the Scorpion Chief had been killed, and they shouldn't have returned.
Bai Xiong and Yanxue found a place to sit, and Bai Xiong said, "Old man, the two of us can't help much, so I'll come to you first to inquire about some news from the Spirit of Life." Do you know of any other way to restore the life spirit to life power? ā
"Hehe, young man, the Spirit of Life is not an ordinary thing, he needs a life force close to eternity or a condensed life essence to restore the Spirit of Life. Or, you can find another Life Spirit and transfer the life force within it to this withered Life Spirit, but the other Life Spirit will slowly wither away! "The old man of life probably understands the idea of the white bear coming back. For outsiders, giving them a certain promise requires a task, but he didn't give it to them, and they should be suspicious.
The white bear asks in a tentative way, and this kind of questioning is easy to understand, especially for an old man who has lived for a thousand years.
Yan Xue saw that the old man of life was calm on the surface, but the gray eyebrows moved slightly just now, and he should know the intention of the two of them to come back, and said: "Old man, we have entered the main city of quicksand, seen the military strength of the sand scorpion people, and probably learned about the grievances between the oasis of life and the sand scorpion people. ā
Hearing Yanxue say it so bluntly, Bai Xiong didn't know what she wanted to do. But thinking that last time she was on the top of the Holy Capital Tower, she could please the witch Odia, she should have her own set of methods. The way the white bear deals with the NPCs is to prove a qiÄ with his own strength, while Yanxue uses language.
Hearing Yan Xue's words, the old man's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the little girl who was smiling at him with some kind eyes, and he was speechless for a while.
"Old man, do you think the sand scorpion people are powerful?" Yanxue asked a very simple question, but this question spread out all the questions to the point, and suddenly the old man seemed to be thinking about such a simple question. From his experience and past, it is not so easy to answer such a question related to his upbringing.
After a while, the old man of life glanced at Yan Xue, who was wearing a snow-white priest's robe, and just wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and after a while, he said, "Amazing!" ā
If you have watched the legend of the heroes of the old man of life, Reg is here, and you will definitely not be able to believe your ears when you hear the old man of life admit that the sand scorpion people are powerful. Because the old man of life has basically been fighting with the sand scorpion people all his life, and even let them fall into the curse of life, if it was the old man of life a thousand years ago, he would never admit it, but after a thousand years, he has seen through everything, especially when he is ready to die.
"Old man, I think you're even better! Not only did they build an oasis of life with their own hands, but they also protected other races for thousands of years, allowing them to enjoy peace here for a thousand years! The white bear still smiled when he saw Yanxue talking, and the whole sentence was very peaceful, but at the end of the peace, it made people feel meaningful.
Enjoy a thousand years of peace! This sentence is a compliment, but it also carries a rhetorical question, will there be peace in a thousand years?
This is a very peaceful question and answer, if it is asked directly or deliberately like Bai Xiong just now, in the eyes of the old man of life, two young outsiders are not qualified to say this sentence at all, what have they experienced? But what Yanxue said once again caused the old man of life to think about himself!
Talking is an art! The white bear finally felt the difference in the smoke and snow. He finally understood how the witch Odya treated Yanxue so well, this is a girl who is very acceptable. Smart, pretty, well-spoken, and makes other people look like they have a very unique charm.
"Yes, I have only allowed them to enjoy peace for a thousand years!" The old man of life said softly.
Yanxue didn't reply, and the surroundings became quiet, so quiet that people continued to ponder. After 6 seconds, Yanxue answered, "They thought they could live here for the rest of their lives, but they didn't expect that the imminent peace would end. Peace is beautiful and the pursuit of life, but in peace, we may lose a will to fight, or we can say that there is a kind of inertia. Thought that a qiÄ should be! Old man, can you imagine what will happen when they lose their peace? Will it be better than a thousand years? ā
"No!" This time, the old man answered Yanxue's question very directly. The old man can fully imagine what will happen to this group of children who have grown up in peace, in the face of sand scorpions who have grown up in battle for a long time? A thousand years ago, any civilian was a great warrior, but what about civilians today? Some of them can't even kill chickens, let alone put them in front of sand scorpions. The oasis of life is peaceful, there are no excessive armies here, only guards here. If the life curse is lost, once the sand scorpion man arrives, a qiÄ will be ruined.
"Old man, do you think you're a hero?" Yanxue asked again.
This sentence hit the heart of the old man of life like a hammer, and he almost lost his breath. He didn't think about it at all, in the eyes of the race in the oasis of life, he was a hero, but did he think he was a hero? He never asked himself.
In the eyes of the race in the oasis of life, they are a hero. In the eyes of the scorpions, they are a demon! This is relative and logical. But standing in the middle, do you feel like a hero? This requires a kind of torture!
The old man of life thought for a long time, and the white bear calculated that the time was about 10 minutes. 10 minutes is a short time, but to the old man of life, it seems to be longer than this thousand years. He sat up on the Taishi chair, looked at Yan Xue sitting on the stone bench, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I'm not a hero. ā
"Old man, you are too modest! You were a hero before, and you will be a hero in the future! You can give them a thousand years of peace, why can't you give them peace for a longer time? Yanxue still smiled, but this time it was different, she asked her own questions and answered, "You can tell them that war is coming, and they have to rely on their own hands to exchange for peace and defend their homeland!" Although they did not have the fighting power of a thousand years ago, they enjoyed a thousand years of peace, and all races came together and felt the power of peace and the warmth of home. This is what they do not have, in the presence of powerful sand scorpions, they do not dare to think of resistance, they do not dare to think of peace, they do not dare to think of unity, and now they have all gained this strength, even if they are weak, but they desire peace, the will of their homeland which is strong. Don't you think you should teach them to fight for peace on their own? ā
Suddenly, the eyes of the old man seemed to light up, and the problem that had been bothering him seemed to be figured out at this time. He has always relied on one person to protect the entire oasis of life, but no matter how strong one person's strength is, there will be an end one day. But if the races here are taught to defend their homeland, then their power is eternal.
Yes, all races have enjoyed peace here, they have been given a privileged home environment here, and are they still willing to go back to the past? They must unite in order to have peace in the future.
Hero? The Old Man of Life has always wanted to defend the entire Oasis of Life and all races by his own strength, and it was good to start! But later, it's up to them to do it themselves. One person's power is limited, and peace can also make them incombatable. At this moment, the old man of life feels that he really does not deserve to be a hero.
"Thank you, little girl! Your words made me figure out a lot of things, I used to be too stubborn, and I have always been troubled by the word hero, thinking that only I can resist the sand scorpion alone and call it a hero. "The life of the old man has been infused with two heroes, but he is a stubborn person with personal heroism, so the current situation has appeared.
"The races have not yet experienced the war, and it will take some time for us to get used to it. You can try to contact the Starry Sky Night, there will be help over there, there are many enthusiastic adventurers in this world, they will come to help you! But before that, there must be a war to make the races aware of the crisis, so that they will know how to guard their hard-won peace. Yanxue said very calmly, but the meaning contained in it was very clear, but it was easy for people to accept, "Each race has its own way of survival and reproduction!" What we need to do is make them understand! ā
The white bear already understood what Yanxue meant, and she conveyed the message to the old man on behalf of the entire team. She also solved the troubles of the old man. At this moment, the white bear really felt the power of the smoke and snow. Sometimes, even if you kill the most powerful boss, the effect you get is not as important as a few words.
"Will you help us?" The old man of life asked, and this is a very crucial sentence.
"Yes!" This time it's the white bear who speaks!
[PS]: The plot is the most difficult to write! Don't be surprised that the writing is not very good!
