Chapter 986 Unwarranted Responsibility
The moon is in the sky, and the silver barren hills.
Under the quiet night sky, a few withered pine trees were scattered and scattered, reflecting two human figures, and the rest was full of weeds and thorns.
At the foot of the barren hill, there are thousands of acres of fertile land, and the landscape is like an idyllic mood, but unfortunately, this layer by layer rendering landscape painting is cut off at the foot of the barren hill.
From a distance, the barren hill looks like a dying old man, dressed in a ragged and lifeless coat, staring coldly and stubbornly at the lively scenery of the countryside at his feet, refusing to devote himself to pandering, it seems to be forgotten, but it shows an uncompromising posture everywhere, refusing to be forgotten, like a lone wolf wandering alone outside the wolf pack, refusing to integrate into the collective, and unwilling to leave.
"I really didn't expect you to come to see me. ”
Mu Changsheng was dressed in a black robe and looked at Luo Feng who was standing in front of him with complicated eyes.
"I am the only one who knows you among the Terrans. ”
"Heh, acquaintances are not necessarily friends, they may also be enemies, and with the word 'human race', do you want to imply anything?" Mu Changsheng responded in a stiff tone.
Luo Feng was unmoved, and said calmly: "The words you said casually caused you to mind so much, it seems that you are under a lot of pressure, I am afraid that you have been suppressing your anxiety." You must know that enemies are not terrible, people live in the world, who does not have a few enemies, the real terrible are those who stay by your side in the name of friends. ”
The object to which the last sentence refers is obvious.
Mu Changsheng snorted coldly: "Such a shallow and ugly method of distraction is not clever compared to your past performance. ”
Luo Feng looked at the thin pine tree beside him and said: "Whether the discord can succeed or not has nothing to do with the clever means, the important thing is whether there is a gap between the discordant objects." If the other party is ironclad, as close as siblings, and protects each other's lives, no matter how clever the discord is, it will be difficult to exert it, and if the other party guards each other and treats each other as enemies, even if the clumsy discord is, it can still succeed, because what needs to be done at this time is not to lie, but to remind the other party of the truth, but the truth is the most cruel. ”
Mu Changsheng was speechless, it was not that he was not good at rhetoric, but what Luo Feng said was the truth, although he could quibble for the sake of quibbling, but doing such a thing in front of a clear-eyed person was just self-degrading and making people laugh.
So, he didn't bother to talk about these false arguments anymore, and directly pointed out: "I know very well your intentions, come and offer your conditions, although I am not loyal to the demon lord, but the other party treats me like a national soldier, so I have no reason to regard him as a vengeance." ”
If it was someone else, he might have said something about how loyal he was to the demon clan and how much the demon lord had the ability to accept all rivers, but since it was Luo Feng, he simply omitted these words.
It is self-inflicted humiliation to tell nonsense in front of a wise man, and it is more meaningful to talk about interests directly for fear that he will not even believe in his loyalty.
So he stretched out his hand, and a strong demon element swirled in his palm, condensing into a whirlpool, with stars dotted inside, slowly running according to a certain law, looking like a miniature galaxy, if you look carefully, you will find a pair of evil pupils in the galaxy, snooping all beings.
This move is undoubtedly a sky-high asking price, and the money will be repaid on the spot.
The demons have given us so many benefits, you can't give less than them, right?
The benefits of empty words are not enough to win the trust of people, and if you want me to cooperate, you must at least pay a corresponding deposit.
Of course, after accepting the deposit, whether you really want to betray the demon clan and become a spy is another matter, after all, this matter is very dangerous, and you need to think twice.
Mu Changsheng insisted that the other party had a request from him, so he naturally would not be polite, and he would not worry that the other party would not comply.
However, Luo Feng ignored it at all, didn't even look at it, and said: "If you want benefits, there is none, this negotiation, I came with two sleeves of breeze." ”
Mu Changsheng's face suddenly became gloomy: "This is your sincerity? Are you here to play tricks on me? Don't you think it's ridiculous to use the trick of the empty glove white wolf on me?"
Luo Feng said: "If I have a request from Your Excellency, I will naturally offer conditions that are satisfactory to Your Excellency, but I am not here for such a purpose, on the contrary, I am here to give Your Excellency a gift." ”
"Oh, what gift?"
"An opportunity that will definitely be a winner. ”
Mu Changsheng was silent for a long time, and then let out a low laugh.
How can you ensure that you are the winner in a head-to-head game?
The answer is simple, whoever wins will take refuge in whomever he wants.
However, this was by no means the result that Mu Changsheng expected, he did not pay any price, did not make any contributions, even if he defected to the human race and avoided the fate of perishing with the demon race, it was only a period that postponed the disaster to come.
Without the amulet of "Terran Savior" to bless, he can't escape the liquidation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, if he doesn't make a contribution in the battle between humans and demons, Luo Feng and others take an attitude of standing by and watching is the best result, I'm afraid that many people will choose to fall into the well because of his evil deeds of "banditry".
Mu Changsheng's goal is to portray himself as a tragic hero who endures humiliation and steals his life and has to sacrifice his companions in order to destroy the demon race, but he is not the kind of wall grass who has no position and can give up all his dignity in order to save his life.
Luo Feng said that it was to give him a win-win opportunity, in fact, if Mu Changsheng really wanted to think about his future and extinguish the thunderous anger of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, he would have to make a contribution, and this credit should not be small, it was best to be able to determine the key elements of the war between humans and demons, so that it could become a talisman of sufficient weight, and the three sects alliance army accepted his affection, so he had to come forward for him and block the anger of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
However, even if Mu Changsheng finished doing these things, Luo Feng would not need to pay any substantial benefits.
In essence, it is still an empty glove white wolf.
It's just a different way, a different way even if Mu Changsheng knows that the other party is an empty glove white wolf, there is no way to raise an objection, because Luo Feng really didn't ask him to do anything, even if he betrayed the news of the demon clan in the future, it was his own choice.
"Hmph, your wishful thinking is based on the victory of the Terrans, and if the winning side is the Demons, your gift is worthless. ”
"Wrong, it's not that the Terran Race wins, but that the Terran Race may win," Luo Feng's eyes seemed to see through Mu Changsheng's thoughts, "As long as the Terran has hope of winning, you will make a choice, because with your wisdom, you will definitely be able to guess what kind of treatment the Spirit Pupil Clan will be like when the Demon Race wins." ”
What kind of treatment can there be, naturally it is not human inside and out.
Under the condition that the odds of victory on both sides are the same, Mu Changsheng will inevitably favor the human race, and even if the odds of the human race are slightly less, it doesn't matter, because this can better reflect his value, unless the demon race occupies an overwhelming chance of winning, he will completely surrender to the demon race.
Luo Feng keenly grasped Mu Changsheng's mentality, and only then did he make such a request.
"Hmph, then you can make a living, at least don't lose so ugly. In the face of a wise man of the same level, duplicity is meaningless, and Mu Changsheng did not deliberately deny his thoughts, "If you finish your words, please go back, if you stay too long, it will be easy to be discovered by demons, and the most important thing is that I will be affected by you." ”
Luo Feng bowed his head and said, "Well, the last private question, you can not answer it, has the curse of the Spirit Pupil Clan been unlocked?"
"Half of it was solved, and the enemy who cursed the Spirit Pupil Clan back then was the body of a strong man who sacrificed the body of the Pupil Demon to realize the unshakable bloodline curse, so I made a deal with the Hitomi Demon King, and he helped unravel the bloodline curse, but in order to control me, he only unraveled half of it, leaving half to force me to serve him.
It's ridiculous, how can a character like you and me easily bend the knee to others and force me to serve, it depends on whether he has such qualifications?
He thought that by placing a ban on me, he would be able to coerce and lure me into submission, but in my eyes, what he did was just a funny harlequin, and now his power is even more used by me, as long as I have the power of the realm, I can unlock the remaining half of the curse, and the long-cherished wish of the Spirit Pupil clan can finally be fulfilled in my hands!"
Talking about the things he cared about the most, Mu Changsheng couldn't control his emotions a little, and glared at Luo Feng suddenly: "If it weren't for your refusal of my request, I wouldn't need to cooperate with the demon clan at all, and the monks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would not be sacrificed, and the source of everything is on you!"
“...... It seems that I have become the object of resentment. ”
Mu Changsheng laughed miserably: "Of course, if I don't resent you, do I have to blame myself for being too incompetent?" Since I was born, I have carried the hope of the whole clan, my father has the ability to predict the future, he saw that the curse of the pupil clan will end in my generation, so he reminded me every day and night, this is my obligation and responsibility, and the whole clan knows it, they will pin their hopes on me, and I also take this responsibility as my mission, this kind of expectation from relatives and friends, you can't shirk the pressure, you won't understand when you're alone outside!"
"It's true that I can't understand the feeling. ”
Luo Feng didn't refute, and at the same time, he didn't regret his decision, he had no sense of belonging to the Spirit Pupil Clan, and he had no obligation to make dedication, as for the charge that Mu Changsheng forcibly stuffed, he just didn't hear it.
"The purpose of this trip has been accomplished, and it is up to you to decide where to go in the future. ”
After speaking, Luo Feng stopped staying, cast a spell to turn into a shadow, covered his breath and left.
On the barren hill, only a lonely and stubborn figure remained.
Mu Changsheng looked around and found that there was no one to rely on, and the darkness was like an invisible pressure, falling on his shoulders, making him breathless.
Inexplicably, it stirred up past memories, recalling the truth found when he recovered his pupil on the day his father died unexpectedly.
"What the end curse, what the light of the spirit pupil, what the hope of the tribe, it's all a made up lie! You don't have the pupil technique to predict the future at all, and there will always be a pair of eyes missing on the wall of a thousand pupils, hahaha......"
Unprovoked laughter echoed across the empty barren hills, and I don't know who was laughing at them.
