Chapter 413: The Root of Fear
Lan Wen held a cheese hot dog in one hand and took a bite. The rich cheese was smeared on his face and stuck to his beard. After just one bite, Ai Luo felt like he saw an old man with a white beard?
But just as he was about to laugh, he suddenly realized that he had just eaten a few mouthfuls, and his face might not be any better, so he quickly raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth.
"President Arrow, do you know why my guild is called Night Fang?"
After wiping the corners of his mouth several times to confirm that there were no more milk stains, Ai Luo raised his head and said with a smile: "Because...Vice President?"
After hearing the word "vice president" coming out of Ai Luo's mouth, the president with a "white beard" suddenly stopped.
He held the hot dog in his hand and looked at the distant horizon. No matter how the sea breeze blew his hair and clothes, this man like an iron tower always stood here, thinking about the incomprehensible mess in his heart.
dispute.
"When the guild was founded...it was just me and Cheese."
After a long time, the president finally spoke. After taking a bite of the cheese hot dog, he slowly spoke——
"The two of us were just like teenagers. I was only fifteen years old that year, and I became an adventurer with full enthusiasm and the idea of becoming a legendary hero. I am ashamed to say that at that time I was really
The youthfulness is at its extreme, almost equivalent to bumping into Cheese as soon as he appears on the stage and wanting to start a fight with him."
Ai Luo took a step back to prevent his eating appearance from being exposed to the "white beard"'s peripheral vision. He looked around, but there were really no trash cans nearby. But he threw the mixture in his hand directly.
It didn't seem very polite to put it on the ground or throw it into the sea. So, he could only frown and forced himself to continue (Harmony) licking the cheese that flowed out.
Now, you must not let your members see this scene... If they see you holding such a cheese hot dog that is bigger than your face, God knows what nonsense those guys will say.
"I didn't expect that at the beginning, President Blue Stripe and Vice President Cheese were still in a hostile state?"
Lanwen chuckled and continued: "Yes, I must have been stupid at that time to want to fight with the Night Clan. Moreover, I actually chose the night when he was the most powerful to draw the sword against him."
Ai Luo tried his best to hold up the cheese hot dog and licked clean the drop of cheese that was about to drip. Then he raised his head, pouted his mouth, and sucked the gravy hard: "So...then what? You turned enemies into friends?"
"Haha, a stupid young human warrior met a young master of the Night clan who rebelled and escaped from the clan. After going through some messy things, the two of us felt that the other one suited our tastes. Hmm...
It can be said that we really developed our feelings gradually as we talked."
"Later, the two of us took adventures together and grew up together. We cried together, laughed together, took on tasks together, and collected bounties together. We made money together, drank wine and ate meat, and squatted in a corner to eat snow when we were short of money. After experiencing a series of adventures,
We finally saved some money and successfully opened this guild. At that time, we thought about making this guild reflect the characteristics of both of us. He said that I looked like a fang holding four swords, and he
It’s also a clan of the night, so let’s just call it the Fang of the Night. I think this is not bad, so I decided on it.”
Although what the big man said was relatively simple, for Aiello, who was holding a cheese hot dog, these simple words seemed to have already been filled with stories that he might not have imagined. Based on this, he also
He couldn't help but nodded at the blue pattern's back... Of course, he had to open his mouth immediately and bite off a piece of bread filled with gravy and cheese, and then chew it hard.
"Cheese and I managed the guild together. Because the two of us were pretty good at it, the guild began to develop and grow a little bit. Our guild also began to have more and more members, and we were able to accept more tasks.
I started to become more and more advanced, and I started to make more money.”
"He is a good man, a really very good man. Although he often seems not very serious, everything that Cheese has done for more than ten years is definitely not the description of the Night Clan in people's rumors. He is not at all
He is not the terrifying existence in the rumors, he is just a different race from ours, other than that there is no difference at all."
"But even so, the rumors of the Night Clan are too deeply rooted in people's hearts... Even if I am very relieved, many clients and guild members will start to be a little afraid of him."
"I'm working hard to coordinate, hoping to try my best to change the image of cheese in other people's minds, but I don't know if I'm not doing a good enough job or something. Everyone who sees cheese will still be more or less
Shaodi has some suspicions about him. This makes me very distressed."
After Ai Luo tried his best to swallow the large lump of salty-smelling stuff in his mouth, he exhaled, nodded slowly and said, "This is actually very easy to understand. After all, the Night Clan was once the same as us humans.
There have been many years of war between the two countries. Although more than a hundred years have passed, many of the horror stories that scare children now still describe the image of the Night Clan. It has been said too much that the atmosphere of our human environment is like this. I think
Changing this prejudice is not something that can be done overnight.”
"Then, why can President Arrow get along so well with Cheese?"
When Ai Luo finished speaking, the blue pattern in front suddenly turned back to look at him, his eyes full of curiosity——
"The description Rhea gave me may be a little embellished, but there should be no doubt that you and cheese can get along well, right? Why aren't you afraid of cheese? You haven't heard those terrible horror stories.
?"
Ai Luo smiled bitterly and said, "I grew up like this, how could I not have heard it? When I was a child, I sometimes used these stories to scare other children."
"Then...why?" Lan Wen stared at Ai Luo closely, his eyes full of eagerness for answers. It could be seen that this big president was very concerned about the issue of cheese, and even already
Some go beyond concern for their own safety.
In this regard, Ai Luo could only sigh helplessly and said slowly: "If you want to explore fear, you must face the fear itself. Perhaps I am a child with strong curiosity. After listening to those terrible horror stories
After that, I have been thinking about where these stories came from? And I also thought, since the Night Clan is described as so terrifying, why can we humans still win the war more than a hundred years ago?"
"With these questions in mind, I looked up a lot of information after I enrolled in school. I more or less eliminated the rumors and sorted out the historical data of that war. Now that all the ridiculous rumors have been removed, what is left is very
It’s worth studying.”
Ai Luo hugged the hot dog and took another bite, chewing hard. But Lan Wen, the president of a high-end guild who was almost twice as old as Ai Luo, was standing next to him obediently, not daring to interrupt or interrupt at will.
Arrow's meal.
He waited until Ai Luo finally swallowed the mouthful before continuing -
"One of the most famous characteristics of the Night Clan in various horror stories is the description of their race's ability to suck human blood. Many stories even focus on describing this characteristic of the Night Clan, as if the Night Clan exists.
The purpose is just to suck human blood."
"However, as long as you think about it from an economic perspective, you will find that this feature is very unreliable, and even very absurd."
"As a race of creatures that have similar senses to us humans and also use their brains to think, if you think about it from another perspective, we humans will be the kind of people who only think about eating all day long and would like to put it in our mouths 24 hours a day.
A creature that is stuffed with all kinds of delicacies, and even starts a war casually just to eat endless amounts of good food?”
Ai Luo slightly adjusted the hand holding the hot dog and asked the question to the blue pattern.
Lan Wen thought for a while, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Although eating is very important, there are only a few humans who pursue a gluttonous feast all day long. Many people just need to fill their stomachs, because there is still a lot of time for us to
Do more other meaningful things.”
Ai Luo smiled and nodded: "Similarly, even if the Night Clan likes to suck human blood, they can't just do nothing all day long and just think about sucking blood. They will also have their own culture and their own life.
Your own entertainment time. Then, why are there many records about the Night Clan sucking human blood in the historical documents recording this war?"
"Just because there is a blood-sucking record, it cannot be regarded as the physiological habit of the Night Clan. Because I studied economics, I almost instinctively checked the climate and water quality of the Night Clan's territory.
, humanities, politics, and the status of trade with surrounding areas. Especially the overall economic capabilities of the clans that are fighting against us humans. After such a check, the answer will come out. "
"The territory of the Night Clan had been in a state of drought and drought for a few years before the war broke out. During that time, the elders of the Night Clan passed away, but there was no successor with sufficient strength. This
