If time could be turned back and done over again, Gwen would definitely take back this sentence.
After the three of them continued to explore north for a while, they first saw disturbing scorched clouds, as well as the pungent smell of sulfur and stench filling the air. There were also ominous dark red bats flying in the sky.
Winged devil!
This time the problem is much more serious.
Hordes of demons.
Faced with this situation, Long Yan made a decision:
"You take Rafa back first."
"What about you? Are you going to stop them here?"
"No."
Long Yan pulled out the rune sword and stuck it on the ground, "I want to reduce their number here to the greatest extent, and see if I can get some useful information."
"Together." Gwen would not give up Long Yan at this time, not that he thought Long Yan would never come back here.
Rather.
Some kind of companionship, wanting to be here with the other person.
I don’t want to see the other person acting cool alone.
Based on this mood.
"Please." Long Yan said.
“…”
"I can only leave it to you, Rafi. If she were here, it would make me even more uneasy." Long Yan said.
Rafi next to him listened, his face turned a little red, and he muttered in a low voice: "I'm really sorry for my lack of strength."
“…”
Gwen decided not to be fooled by this man. Long Yan was a man who was absolutely good at smooth talk.
When facing this kind of person, if you listen to him even half a sentence, you may be successfully seduced.
"Sorry to trouble you." Long Yan took off his cloak and tied it on Gwen.
“…”
Gwen glared at him.
How can people refuse to do this?
"You have to follow me right back."
"good."
"You must promise!" Gwen stood on tiptoes and pressed her hands on the other person's shoulders. "I swear to March that you can't do it for more than two hours at the latest."
This time is a bit delicate. If it is any later, it will be past Long Yan's bedtime.
Gwen once asked Yeka.
The craftsman Yujie said that Long Yan's personal sleep time is usually no later than 'a standard point', and once it is late, he will stay up all night.
Although for a strong Yuanli user, staying up all night is nothing.
However, there is a misunderstanding involved here.
As a child who was kissed by Yuanli, Long Yan is the strongest Yuanli user among fellow villagers. Naturally, his attributes are strong among strong among strong. But is he really strong? Not necessarily? Now he has to hold his breath while moving.
Where's the machine! Can such a person really be considered strong?
If you don't get a good night's sleep, it feels like the person will almost fall into a coma, right? It's so frail that one doesn't know what to say.
Gwen was determined to get the other person to go to bed at a normal time.
“…”
"Promise me."
"I promise you."
"What about swearing?"
“…”
Ha, man.
Gwen wiped her eyes and said, "Okay, you can just break the promise you made to me, but you can't break what you swore. Is this what you think? Your Excellency Long Yan."
"Feel sorry."
"I don't want your apology. If you don't swear, I will fight against you right here."
"I swear, but not to the March goddess, but to you. I promise you. I have never thought of breaking the promise I made to you. Gwen, I swear to you, I will come back on time. I'm sorry to let you down.
You always felt that I didn't keep my promises, and I'm sorry for leaving you with such a bad impression."
He said it so solemnly.
Instead, Gwen felt embarrassed.
Long Yan indeed did not default on his debt.
Are you being a little too harsh on yourself?
【I am not a good person for letting him say such things.】
[Well, if I think about it carefully, it seems that he has indeed... never done anything similar to defaulting on a debt. 】
[But isn’t it too embarrassing to apologize now? 】
Gwen pursed her lips and glared at Long Yan again.
"Okay, I understand. Let's leave now so that we don't prevent you, the commander, from enjoying your own happy time." Although she knew, Gwen still spoke in a sour tone.
"Bon voyage." Long Yan leaned on his sword with his left hand.
"You too..." Gwen murmured softly.
"What did you say?" Long Yan asked.
“…”
"Louder?" Long Yan stretched out his gauntlet to touch Gwen's head, but he avoided it.
"You also need to pay attention to your safety. Come back safely and may your military fortune be prosperous." Gwen wrapped her cloak tightly around her body.
…
"Captain Gwen, are you very familiar with Commander Long Yan?"
On the way, Rafi finally couldn't help but ask this question.
Gwen was standing on tiptoes looking at the map in Cat Varo's hand. The fat cat had just fought a demon, and after killing the demon, he actually found the map... Although from Gwen's perspective, it was Cat Varo extending his claws.
Loot automatically generated when touching a corpse.
Hearing the question, he turned his head and showed a gentle smile to Raffi, then frowned:
"It can't be considered very familiar. It's just a colleague relationship. Although this guy seems to be easy to get along with, the problem of his companions has always been a long-standing problem."
Gwen didn't mess around.
No secrets were revealed.
Long Yan has always been considered an obedient player, but as long as something happens to such a player, it will be a big deal. And he is indeed very violent in the battle, as if he has lost something, attacking with rage. Again
Coupled with his natural calmness, Long Yan's fighting style is simply that of a mad dog with unlimited energy. Coupled with this person's terrifying endurance, he has always had contempt for his so-called companions.
He looks down upon those who are less talented than him.
People with the same level of talent as him would look down upon him.
The Adventurers Association has always given Long Yan the privilege of acting alone because he does have individual abilities, and his personal abilities can make up for the disadvantages of acting alone.
After Gwen arrived, the Adventurers Association finally found someone who could be a colleague of Long Yan.
Gwen didn't give in to Long Yan either.
"Companion issue...the commander..." The little black-haired woman looked confused.
Gwen thought for a while, "Although he seems to be easy to talk to, he is a person who has no respect for the friendship of his companions. For example, when you want to have a final battle of dignity with the enemy. Long Yan is that kind of person
, will judge whether you can beat him or not, and make corresponding decisions. If you can't beat him, he won't let you go no matter what, and will end the game himself."
"Well…"
"Meow hahaha, isn't this a great job!" Cat Varro patted his belly, "In the world of cats, there is no shame in being defeated. Meow, if you are not your opponent, then of course you can't let someone die in vain.
.Gwen, look, your commander also agrees with the cats’ theory! Honor is just a temporary struggle, only by living can you have everything, meow!”
Gwen hit Varro the cat in the stomach with her elbow, and the fat cat almost fell over.
"It sounds like, indeed, very... well, independent and decisive." The enhanced ability of temporary witch transformation allowed the little woman to remember a lot of idioms from Fawaniya.
Although I don’t know if it is good to learn the Fawaniya idiom from "The Civil Servant of Fawaniya".
But it’s a good thing to write it down.
"Speaking of which, the concept of Utopians really cannot accommodate people like Long Yan, right?"
"Meow, let me explain in advance, he is not a Fawanian? Meow."
"I know." Gwen said, "It is really difficult for a person like him who doesn't take other people's honor seriously to survive in Utopia."
But Gwen agrees with Long Yan's point of view.
In his opinion.
The last battle, a battle to the death, etc... are all like actions that only fools would do. Maybe there are things in this world that people have to fight, maybe, but honor is definitely not one of them.
Die on the battlefield for honor.
Gwen didn't approve.
Anyone who has actually been on the battlefield should understand.
The battlefield should not be eulogized at all!
It was a living hell.
Long Yan, who has experienced so many wars, must have understood this and can no longer have any yearning for honor.
"Compared with honor, survival is indeed the most important thing."
"But I saw it in a storybook..."
"The stories in the storybooks won't tell you what will happen after you are hit in the head by a machine cannon during the battle to land on the island, right?" Cat Varo seemed to meow to the child in order to prove his statement.
The woman explained, "The technology in this world is already standard machine gun technology. Most races have machine guns to prevent landings. You can think about it, hundreds of thousands of people wearing simple clothes jumped onto the beach before they could run.
, the machine gun fire came and beat them into mincemeat."
"..." Rafi's face turned pale.
Mao Varo seemed to have seen it with his own eyes, but he didn't take it to heart so much. "Utopia lacks all resources for normal operation. The island opposite is unwilling to lose so many resources. In order to survive, hundreds of thousands of people died.
These are very common things. The ocean is dyed red with blood, and the beach is like a red carpet. Meow, as long as you spend a day in this environment, you will realize that no matter how much honor you have, it is not as good as keeping people safe.
Take it back."
"Long Yan will indeed wake up to this kind of thing, this person." Gwen commented.
…
After returning to the Fellowship, Gwen did not return to the Sniper Cat, but decided to wait in Longyan's castle.
The soldiers who were entertaining him had nothing to do with him, so they specially opened a rest room for him to use.
This time point is already relatively late.
The evening breeze outside is blowing the shade of the trees, and the beautiful skywalk makes people want to run on it.
Just when Gwen drank her sixth cup of tea and ate her fifth piece of cake.
Long Yan finally came back as promised.
He walked into the room first, and then shrugged at Gwen: "There is a Balrog, it is very scary, I almost broke my promise."
"Then why don't you thank me quickly?" Gwen hugged her chest and sat back grandly, "If it weren't for my existence, you might not have made up your mind to run back. If you hadn't made up your mind, you wouldn't have been able to run away.
Haha, why don't you thank me?"
"No."
Long Yan is extremely straight in this regard: "I would have run away without a promise. If I were to stay in a place like that and fight a Balrog, even I wouldn't have made such a stupid move."
Is Longyan considered the most powerful fire element user?
Not really.
Because Long Yan is not as good as several elder sisters and brothers who specialize in the fire element when fighting against resistant monsters.
Fighting the Balrog can be regarded as a great defeat of the Dragon Flame.
After feeling this, Gwen felt a little guilty. As a professional attribute traitor, he had already betrayed the pure fire attribute team.
"snort…"
"By the way, since you are here, please run a trip to the Starship for me."
Making people work as soon as they come back? Gwen glared at him.
After a long while, he snorted, "Okay, I'll help you run around. Do you want me to bring the documents for you?"
"Well. Take a note with you and bring it with you. I need you to meet someone, listen to her suggestions and guesses, and then come back and tell me. Remember, use your source power to anchor your mind.
, I’ve been in a bad mood recently, and if things go by, I’m worried that I’ll be corrupted by her.”
"..." Gwen frowned, "Is he a guy with corrosive power?"
"I would say she's very intelligent."
Long Yan nodded and stretched out his hand, "By the way, my cloak..."
"Huh?" Gwen's eyes widened.
【You gave it to me and you still want it back?】
"Should I give it back..."
"No!" Gwen hugged the cloak, jumped off the sofa, and kicked Long Yan hard on the knee.
"Ouch!" Long Yan was kicked to the ground on one knee.
Gwen took advantage of the reaction force, jumped back, and ran out of the room easily.
…
The Starship is located southeast of the upper carriage area. It is a beautiful train with 70% of the track in the air.
The train is only fifteen meters long and more than four meters wide. The theme of the train is very starry, mysterious and dilapidated.
【What a beautiful train.】
With the thought of "Wow, what a taste", Gwen followed the Ron escort here into the tower of the Starship at the pace of a visitor. After passing a corridor, there was a huge spiral staircase, and she walked up it.
At the end, after opening the door, there is a spacious lounge. It is worth noting that the inner wall of the lounge is iron railings.
"Eh..." Gwen made a surprised sound.
"Open it," the guard said to another Ron guard.
The two of them successfully pulled off a trap.
Along with the huge gear bite sound, there is a feeling of vibration.
The wall behind the iron railing slowly opened, revealing a scene like a library.
[Is the person you want to see a prisoner? 】
[A prisoner with toxic words, no wonder Long Yan reminds me to stabilize my mind...]
Gwen quickly made preparations to filter out the toxins.
Boom——
The walls are completely open.
The prisoner finally appeared in front of him.
…
Very tall woman.
The first impression is that this woman is at least over 1.9 meters tall.
Then…
Is it a deer?
A pair of upright antlers was placed on the woman's head.
There is also a lizard's tail behind it.
Is it ‘long’?
Neither.
The dragons of the Celestial bloodline in the previous life did not have this kind of tail feeling.
Then there was a pair of bright, sparkling eyes that seemed to fill up the entire field of stars.
jingle.
She took a step forward, and the shackles and chains on her feet made an alarming sound.
"Ah, the dragon who has taken everything away is finally willing to send even one person to ask about everything about me."
"Hehehe, what's your name, young dragon."
She had a smile and a kind expression, but her voice seemed to be mechanically synthesized and emotionless. It was clear but emotionless.
