Chapter 1352 The price of slapping the face

Kane searches the Quiet Manor for the man behind the dark path of the orc, Poole.

Kane is sure that there is a mastermind behind this. After all, Poole has been able to make immortal slaves, and it is still a refined version, such a skill, without inheritance and the guidance of teachers, it is impossible to master, at least with Poole's age, knowledge, and the objective situation of becoming a monk halfway, it cannot be done.

However, the mastermind behind the scenes was very careful, and Kane checked all the points that were most likely to find intelligence, but nothing was found.

In this case, they may begin to question it, or even give up altogether. But Kane won't, but he didn't continue to look for it.

Instead, he patiently watched Poole and waited for him to reveal his flaws.

Kane pondered that after catching Olaf and them, Poole would probably ask the people behind the scenes about the technical aspects.

Not only because of the BUFF of the Child of Destiny, Poole couldn't handle it, but also because of Poole's own habits and the remote control of Poole by the mastermind behind the scenes.

Using the target's dependence on oneself to achieve the purpose of control and motivation is the most commonly used means of control. Kane believes that Poole was being used by the mastermind behind the scenes, and he is getting deeper and deeper, knowing that he is being exploited, but he can't stop.

This can be seen from Poole's poor jingle and lack of even a decent set of experimental tools.

You must know that now is not a war year, it has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and the people's arrangements for funeral etiquette are obviously much grander.

It is true that the reopening of Crow Ridge, or Ping'an Town, has made many people more inclined to enjoy professional funeral services, but there are still many poor people in the world.

Therefore, the performance of the quiet garden is still okay.

As for why people in this world are so standardized and particular in this regard, it is naturally because they have been taught to be human beings by reality.

In Azeroth, the idea of a backyard is not a vain statement or a joke, but an elegant description, after all, the existence of the soul has been proven time and again. Who doesn't want to be able to rest in peace and return to the world after death, but to be miserable, or to be used by those with ill intentions?

In this way, the funeral industry is naturally a very important and gradually professional industry, even the poor, are willing to invest more in this area, so as to achieve the goal of 'thinking that there is no life in life, but seeking peace after death'.

For this reason, many people began to save coffin books early, and there are too many to borrow money for funerals.

All in all, there is no shortage of funerals. And Poole secretly took care of all the people in the Garden of Tranquility, making them all puppets under his control and enslavement, which should not be bad for money.

But the reality is that even the utensils he cares about the most, used to create immortal creations and advance skills, are ordinary goods, where did the money go?

You must know that although the immortal system involves a lot of taboo non-mainstream utensils and materials, many of the tools used by spellcasters have similarities. Arcanists, alchemists, and spellcasters of other genres often need a set of utensils, beakers, flasks, cauldrons, and so on, that are characteristic of the chemistry laboratory utensils of the Origin World.

For a spellcaster, a crystal bottle is better than a glass bottle, and a naturally polished crystal bottle is better than an artificial crystal bottle.

Poole was using a defective product in a glass bottle, was it because he lacked access?

Kane doesn't think so.

In his opinion, most of the time, there is money and there are channels. Money is the stepping stone of the channel, smashed open, and the market can output benefits to the other party, and then talk about some reputation, the channel will gradually stabilize. Even if you don't talk about credibility, as long as the price is right, there are still people who have the idea of 'he is not someone else, he can't pit me, I am all one hand of money and one hand of goods' people are willing to provide channels.

Moreover, Poole has even made a refined version of the undead puppet, so he naturally has a deep understanding of all kinds of difficulties in the process of creation, and also understands the meaning of a good set of tools.

In this context, the belongings he used to eat are so shabby, the biggest possibility is that he was sucked blood, and all his material wealth was provided.

Kane actually has a deep understanding of this, after all, when he was still a reincarnation, he was exploited by the Vientiane Gate system, and he was also exploited by senior reincarnators and reincarnators guilds.

At that time, he even had a lot of similarities with Poole now, he didn't understand what he wanted, he wanted good things when he saw them, and as a result, he was always in a state of working to pay off his debts.

The reason is not only because of greed, but also because as a latecomer, the subconscious has a 'chasing heart'.

Just like a lot of online games, people have even played for a year to achieve the effect, you play for a month and want to catch up, what should you do?

Kane's memory of that time is very deep, not because of the suffering, but also because of the suffering and hardships encountered later, the suffering of that time is really nothing.

The reason why I remember it deeply is because I often think about those years later, and every time I think about it, I feel afraid. Because at that time, he was really quite brittle, and if he said he was dead, he was really dead, and there was no suspense, because he had no ability or financial resources to buy a way out.

He was able to survive that period in the end, and the proportion of good luck was very high. This is the reason for the fear, and it is also the reason for the repeated recollection and deep memory.

From this point of view, Poole's luck is clearly not very good. When I met him, according to his usual style, most of them were nine deaths, but when I met the children of destiny, I was basically ten deaths.

In particular, Kane noticed through the Dharma Body that Poole was still furious with Yakali, and the follow-up was because of loneliness, maybe because of happiness, or maybe deliberately provoking Olaf and them, which was also part of the 'boiling eagle' he wanted. All in all, Poole became a monster of the ghost animal, and the scene was a bit dirty, and the effect was very good.

Kane noticed that Olaf was stimulated, and his mental power affected the body's endocrine system, and he entered a state of potential explosion, and it was expected that under the guidance of the ring's grandfather Charon, he would be able to quickly cross the quasi-professional and directly become a formal professional in the future. Of course, the quality of the body is up to standard, experience needs to be accumulated, and skills need to be sharpened.

However, it was Yakali who grew up the hardest, and as the humiliated party, Yakali's emotions were even more intense. But that's not the key, the key is the relevant mechanism of the rune tree species, which is more powerful than the ring grandfather.

Of course, from a macro and long-term perspective, the ring grandfather will benefit more, provided that it is genuinely instructive. And the stressful and emergency type like the rune tree species is suspected of pulling out seedlings in Kane's opinion.

Or, to put it another way, Kane argues that the 'law of exchange' is the fundamental law that applies to the multiverse. Therefore, he is not optimistic about the type of growth stage, compared to the type of person who is taught to be a man, he does not sleep at night, and his backhand changes like a living person to find the field.

He believes that this kind of backhand slap in the face is in exchange for a huge price.

Maybe the person concerned will say, no, there are no serious sequelae, but it is like picking up a pen of ownerless wealth, there are no sequelae, and it is happier to spend.

Kane has to repeat the same old story. That is, people's values are different, and the weight of the cost in everyone's eyes is also different. It's like someone who dies and the cat is sadder than the dead mother.

But the old saying is not enough, as the creator, Kane has to say something more mysterious on this issue.

Kane classifies it as a 'hidden cost'. It is difficult for ordinary people to perceive hidden costs, and even if they do, they don't care too much. But Kane's research confirms that 'hidden costs' tend to be more valuable than explicit costs. Because its influence is greater and more far-reaching.

When he was still a reincarnation, he encountered such a case, which made him remember it deeply.

The approximate process is like this, the Vientiane Gate system has sent a high bounty task, and the target of the task is the child of destiny in a certain world, and he needs to be eliminated.

And this child of destiny was in the prime of fortune at that time, and it was about to reach the top. This means that the trick of 'booming and declining, cliff-jumping tragedy' is not valid.

People are still climbing, not yet to the extreme, with the routine of fighting for hegemony, it is the time for the monarch to swallow the world, and the hegemony will be completed.

At this time, just the thoughts of the condensed crowds are very terrifying, and ordinary gods can't afford to provoke them.

The reincarnation is tough, of course, it can be done.

However, reincarnation, like gamers, is a group of people who most embody 'no profit and can't afford to be early', and the price they pay is higher than the reward offered by the Vientiane Gate system, and no one does it.

But after all, someone did it, and it was done beautifully. The order taker is a small team, and they happen to have a time-traveling contract that is quite restrictive. The main restriction is that if you use this contract, you can't use force, otherwise you will be recalled at best, and you will be lost in time and space, and you won't be able to get it back.

For reincarnation, force cannot be used, which is equivalent to cutting more than half of one's ability. But this squad is using this chicken rib contract, returning to the upper reaches of time and space, and then playing the Sims Corporate Overlord Edition while paying attention to the children of destiny.

After the Son of Destiny has already embarked on the established road, he uses the temptation of non-war to urge the Son of Destiny to 'turn the corner', for example, he is very successful in business, and he is just selling something casually to make up some entanglement, but he buys low and sells high;

All in all, the Child of Destiny discovers that he is a wizard in business and has very good luck.

Money is also power, or it can be transformed into power, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, take money to buy a strong team, crush the A past, and solve the problem, isn't it?

The instinct of people when seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, the son of fate is no exception, and as a result, the son of fate was led astray. In the end, he failed to become the overlord of the generation that overthrew the old dynasty, and became a big businessman who rivaled the wealth.

However, he, the big businessman, was man-made, and it was the team of reincarnators who secretly built a corporate empire in advance through information and knowledge that was above the entire world, and then paid money to provide various conveniences to the children of destiny in order to make him deviate from his original path.

When the child of fate is abandoned by fate, and the purpose of the reincarnation team is achieved, it will naturally no longer secretly support it. So the son of fate became a figure like Hu Xueyan, and was finally slaughtered as a fat sheep.

In fact, in ordinary life, there are many examples of this kind of 'why it is made and why it is lost', which is the embodiment of the 'invisible price'. Do you think that you have made a fortune by gambling and a windfall? But what if you knew that it was precisely the path that prompted you to give up that somewhat difficult path, but with a more brilliant ending, and a more dignified and stable one? Would you still choose it for the sake of a momentary pleasure and a little money?

Most of the gamblers who can lose their families and even lose their lives and futures, have won, and if they keep losing, after a certain extent, they will give up, and it is precisely because they have tasted the sweetness of winning that they will fall into the illusion that I can win again and cannot extricate themselves.

The situation in front of us is similar, when you taste the usual don't work, grind the gun at the critical moment, stress, emergency hanging will bless you to pass the test safely, and the sweetness of slapping the face is not overnight, how many people can still be open-minded but do things in a down-to-earth manner?

So is that a big price? Kane thinks it's a lot anyway. He is glad that he didn't take a similar shortcut when he was weak, otherwise he wouldn't be where he is now.

It was precisely because of this thought that he felt that Yakali's current situation was tantamount to wantonly consuming his own potential.

Potential is divided into physical and spiritual aspects, the latter is undoubtedly more precious, and if it is too easy to obtain, it is a kind of profligacy-level consumption of the latter.

Of course, for people living in the present, this kind of thing is a good thing, after all, there is such a saying, called 'falling into the bag for safety', what you get is your own, as for the future or something, the future will be talked about in the future.

The specific situation of Yakali seems to be an atavistic enhancement, but it is not the ancestor of the orcs, probably because the rune tree species, as a creation of the Titan system, does not have the corresponding information to activate the Draenor species, and it is also not worth it.

Yakali's atavism, Kane speculates, should be a 'guardian'.

The Guardians are based in Ulduar, Loken, Layden, Odin, Mimiron, etc. They can become guardians, and in addition to knowledge, the main thing is power. The power they use is in line with the Titan technology system, and is applicable to all kinds of Titan creations.

And Yakali, who seems to be the path of Freya, who is known as the 'King of Life', is green in the white gold light, and full of rich life.

Hum, just a burst of energy had disastrous consequences for Poole and his minions. Those undead golems were as if they had been hit by petrification magic, and their bodies quickly turned to ashes, and then turned into piles of dirt that could not support their own structure and collapsed.

Poole was poured with sulphuric acid, and it was like that from the inside out, and his whole body was hot, scorched, and let out a terrible howl.

Suddenly, he was hit hard, and Poole, who didn't have much combat experience, was dizzy, and chose to summon more puppets to help at the first time.

As a result, these puppets without exception became the foil of Yakali pretending to be a slap in the face, and as soon as they approached, they began to weather, and the dust returned to dust, and they had to carry out Poole's death orders, so they became piles of earth and rubble that constantly dispersed powdery dust, and when the total mass was consumed to a certain extent, they stopped moving, and then gradually dissipated.

But Saco and Olaf felt the healing effect and buff effect that they had never felt before in this energy explosion, as if every cell in the body was cheering.

However, the old man of the ring was angry and asked Olaf to resist the erosion of this power.

"Although it is good for life, it is not in line with the path we have planned, if you are not like the stone man who will become a stone man who will sit for an unknown number of years and wake up to find that everyone you know has passed away, then resist as I say. ”

So Olaf was obedient, he still had to save his family, he was even willing to sacrifice his life for this, how could he not let go of such a side effect that seemed to be a big bargain?

Of course, Charon deceived Olaf to a certain extent. But there is a bit of an art of speaking here, Charon deliberately did not say some key information to form a misleading, and Olaf misinterpreted it through brain supplementation.

In fact, the erosion of this power is mainly due to some hidden effects of lifting the curse of flesh and blood. The flesh curse created by the ancient gods not only turned inorganic matter into organic matter, thus greatly shortening its lifespan, but also added elements such as chaos and free consciousness.

It is these elements that give birth to self-consciousness to beings who have suffered from the curse of the flesh. Otherwise, the pure flesh and blood will not affect the target's mind too much, and the puppet is still a puppet, but it has changed from a metal golem to a flesh golem.

And now, the power of the curse has been so deeply affected that the Titans themselves have no way to format people's minds and turn them back into unintentional puppets loyal to carrying out orders, let alone the programs they have created.

Therefore, turning into stone and sitting for hundreds or thousands of years is only a theoretical possibility, and it is a very low probability.

But Olaf didn't know what to do, and Charon succeeded in bluffing.

After Yakali exploded in waves, she was also affected by the agitated energy and fainted.

Sacco quickly caught Yakali's limp body with his hand, and then realized that his injured leg was actually fine in such a short time.

Groom, on the other hand, was more amused, as he had shown a bloody side for Poole bullying Yakali, and pounced on him to stop it, but was pounced on by the undead puppet and held him down fiercely.

The undead puppet doesn't have a serious shot, and it won't take care of the target's emotions, and it follows the principle of hitting people without slapping their faces, and they can do it as they please.

As a result, in the process of desperately struggling, Grum hurt his face, making it bloody, which looked serious, but in fact it was just a flesh wound.

Now that the crisis was over, he remembered his handsome man, and asked anxiously: "Is there a scar on my face......?"

Finally confirmed that his face was fine, and the guy ran to Poole to kick and vent again.

Poole, who was originally lying on his body and looked like a charred corpse, suddenly made a move and grabbed Grum, who was shocked and frightened, and screamed.

It turned out that Olaf pounced and gave Poole the final blow with a shovel that he had easily fished.

When he removed Poole's stubborn hand and lifted his pants to see that the bruises were heavy and the skin was torn, Poole's dying claw was still quite ruthless.

Kane was secretly playfully smiling, Poole's trick of surviving in death was good, and Groome cooperated well, if he simply ignored Poole, Poole could only die completely after the time limit was reached, but now it was through the grip that mobilized all the available power to complete the soul, so that there was the possibility of resurrection, and it also laid the groundwork for the future righteous death of the son of destiny.

You must know that the Child of Destiny has its own 'screening' skills, and he cannot grow within a limited time, and if he keeps up with the footsteps of the Child of Destiny, even if it does not end in a tragic death, he will quickly become a marginal figure, and he can no longer accompany the Child of Destiny.

Sure enough, Sacco did not 'disappoint' Kane, and in the subsequent cleanup and search, by chance, Sacco discovered and stole Poole's dark magic book.

Afterwards, when Sacco chatted with Olaf, he said, "I think I can better understand your feelings now." The feeling of being unable to protect the suffering of someone you care about is really terrible and can become an unforgettable torture. In order to prevent this kind of bad thing from happening again, and in order to gain the power of protection, we are willing to pay any price. "To a certain extent, it has revealed the reason why Sacco secretly hid the dark magic book.

However, Kane felt that there were more reasons than these, and he also asked himself: "Yakali likes me more and more, but as a mortal, am I still worthy of her?"

It is said that Lang is talented and good-looking, so now the woman is not only good-looking, but also very talented, and there will be no shortage of wealth in the future, so what weight does Lang have to add to himself in order to rebalance the right scale?

Kane believes that Sacco's idea is to become a great talent.

He was originally the most professional and technical in the gang of four, which also became his self-confidence and even pride.

Now when encountering this series of things, his thinking can easily turn to 'I can do it and I can do better', and the target is, of course, Poole.

You can't do it professionally back then, and you can do it all by relying on popularity to support the scene, I will be worse than you?

What's more, I have my Yakali, she is my safety bolt, and the power of darkness cannot twist me, but can only bow down to my ears......

Based on Kane's analysis of Sacco's character, he is the one who can give birth to this kind of thinking.

It is not uncommon for this kind of young man who has some talent and has made some achievements, so he is a little arrogant and arrogant.

In short, after an extraordinary encounter, the four members of the small team of Destiny Child have their own successes, but they also have their own little secrets, and their relationship with each other has become much more complicated.

The friendship test began to brew like this.
