36 God-level Wolf Rider Deputy Fort Lord Tianguang!
Hearing Zhang Guangmu's words, Lin Yan sneered. He didn't want to believe it at all and just thought this guy was talking nonsense.
Just a little observation of scuffs and scratches and two more attempts to deduce the correct password?
It’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Ridiculous!
No one with a sane mind would believe his nonsense!
Lin Yan said angrily, "It's okay if you don't want to say it. Why do you need to humiliate me like this?"
On the one hand, this reaction was because he felt that Zhang Guangmu was teasing him, and on the other hand, he felt that he had revealed a lot of his thoughts to the young man in front of him, and felt that there were no secrets left in front of him.
"If you think it's humiliating, then so be it." Zhang Guangmu shrugged, noncommittal.
Hearing this, Lin Yan subconsciously looked at Zhang Guangmu's hands.
After a while, he thought of something he had ignored before, so his pupils dilated slightly, the hairs all over his body suddenly stood up, and he broke into a cold sweat.
Zhang Guangmu had said before that these artifacts that seemed to contain the power of fire were made by him...
If you think about it carefully, it does make sense.
After all, if there really was such an artifact in history that could give humans the power to fight the Flame Wolf, it would never remain unknown!
No matter how unremarkable the artifact may be, it is impossible for such an artifact to be omitted from the history books!
so……
There is no traitor to betray him. The young man in front of him relied on his own wisdom to create the fire artifact and crack the code!
"The so-called 'light of heaven' is the 'light of natural wisdom'!"
Lin Yan was lying against the wall, looking at the slightly pale but condescending young man, with a bitter mouth: "He lives up to his name..."
"He lives up to his name!"
At first, he only focused on Lin Xuan, who controlled the alien Flame Wolf King, and never noticed the unknown young assassin who emerged from the water prison trial.
Even if this young man had a small upper hand in the fight with Lin Xuan and even gave himself a name, he would just laugh it off as a joke after dinner.
After all, Lin Xuan is his seventh son and may threaten his status and rule.
Now……
The young assassin with a still immature face has quietly grown up without knowing when.
After creating the era-changing "fire artifact", he has been able to overlook himself from a higher position...
When he thought of this, Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, he gritted his teeth, stood up with force, and said in a deep voice: "You were originally an orphan, but you are alive today because of my favor!"
"Later, you passed the water prison trial and were promoted to Wolf Controller, and then you were qualified to talk to me!"
"It can be said that everything you have now is given by me!"
"I gave you glory and wealth!"
"I gave you a superior status!"
"I have made you successful!"
"If you want to kill me, you will have to bear the reputation of being 'ungrateful'."
"Can you afford such a reputation?"
The ruthless words were spoken loudly and every word was sonorous and powerful, but Lin Yan's body hunched over unconsciously.
He lowered his head slightly, maintaining a posture that looked slightly shorter than Zhang Guangmu.
Perhaps, even Lin Yan himself did not realize that this was actually a kind of self-compromise.
"Ungrateful? That goes too far."
Zhang Guangmu pursed his lips and chuckled: "All the orphans adopted by Yanlang Castle are poor people who lost their parents in the war."
"As time goes by, people will forget who their parents were and what contributions they made."
"But……"
“The passing geese leave a sound, and the passing people leave their traces.”
"As long as you are willing to search hard and spend more time, you can still find some clues."
Speaking of this, Zhang Guangmu's tone gradually became colder.
His eyes also became sinister, and his words were full of resentment: "Dear Lord Lin Yan, do you know who my parents are?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yan felt that his mind went blank.
Thump! Thump!
Thump! Thump!
Lin Yan's heart was beating wildly, his breathing became rapid, and cold sweat slid down his face.
Theoretically speaking, orphans who can participate in the water prison trial to test their willpower have been repeatedly checked to ensure their innocence.
But the problem is...
There are always various "what ifs" in the world!
Isn't this young man in front of me the best example?
If one hadn't seen it with one's own eyes, who would have believed that the pair of fire artifacts were forged by a young man who looked thin and frail?
There is nothing wrong with Yanlang Castle’s system!
However, no matter how excellent the operating mechanism is, it must rely on human beings to exist!
In Lin Yan's mind, people's hearts are complex and changeable, and they are the most unreliable things in the world!
Even a person who was once loyal and trustworthy will lose his original intention and forget his loyalty as time goes by and his status and wealth change.
Among the Yanlang Guards who are responsible for the water prison trial, there may be a black sheep who neglects his duties, eats nothing, and has a heart of compassion!
The moment he heard Zhang Guangmu's words, Lin Yan's mind flashed to countless young couples who died miserably in the power struggle in Yanlang Castle.
The names and faces of those people emerged one by one before his eyes.
Lord Yanlang Castle subconsciously clenched his long sleeves.
He shrank, not daring to look at Zhang Guangmu's face, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that your parents... are Leng Feng and Jin Xi?"
Before Zhang Guangmu could respond, he asked himself and answered: "Yes... it must be so!"
"From your appearance, you can vaguely see some of their shadows!"
"I think back then, Leng Feng and Jin Xi were the famous golden boys and girls in Yanlang Castle, and they were excellent wolf masters."
"Before they got married, each had many admirers..."
At this point, Lin Yan couldn't speak any more, and the beautiful beard on his chin trembled slightly.
Because both Leng Feng and Jin Xi were killed by him.
No matter what difficulties, reasons and excuses he has, they are meaningless to the parties concerned.
If Zhang Guangmu is really the child of those two people, then Zhang Guangmu would be naturally just in killing him!
Lin Yan closed his eyes in pain and waited quietly for death.
The hatred of killing father and mother is irreconcilable!
With such a blood feud in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, Zhang Guangmu had no reason to forgive him!
But……
After waiting for a long time, Lin Yan did not wait for pain and death.
In a daze, he seemed to hear the voice of the young assassin "Tianguang".
"I lied to you."
Lin Yan opened his eyes suddenly, his expression dull.
Zhang Guangmu tilted his head and said seriously: "The things I just mentioned about my life experience and hatred are all made up randomly."
"You are a person who has done too many bad things, and you can easily find a pair of misfortunes to take your place."
Having said this, Zhang Guangmu rubbed his chin and said jokingly: "As for Leng Feng and Jin Xi you mentioned, well..."
"Good-looking people always have some similarities in appearance."
"You don't need to explain this, I understand."
Having said this, Zhang Guangmu paused and said with a playful smile: "You don't believe me when I tell the truth."
"When I lied, you were willing to believe me."
"It feels like even without me, you won't be able to take the position of Lord of the Castle for a long time..."
It seemed like it was just a teasing remark, but it made the little white dumplings who followed him to the darkroom join in crazy agreement.
"That's true! Even without you, the plot protagonist Lin Xuan has already started killing brothers and plotting to become the master of the castle."
"The boss is right!"
“One spot reveals the whole leopard; one leaf reveals autumn—perhaps this is the kind of person you’re talking about?”
"I have so much insight, it would be a pity not to play [detective]!"
"As expected of Tianguang, as wise as a dragon..."
"Are you all so literate? When I encounter this situation, I can only say 'hold the grass'... Damn it! I'm a good cook!"
Lin Yan, the person involved, had a dead face.
What bullshit “Light of Natural Wisdom”?
It’s clearly the light of deception!
Where did this little devil learn the ability to speak like a lotus flower?
"Don't look so bitter. I won't kill you easily until your value is drained."
Interrupted by Zhang Guangmu, Lin Yan's mind was buzzing, his thoughts were confused, and it was difficult to sort out his thoughts, so he could only passively follow Zhang Guangmu.
"I'm on the right path."
Zhang Guangmu's extremely middle-class and full of emotion voice poured into Lin Yan's ears, as if it carried some kind of bewitching power: "I am justice!"
"I am justice!"
"In my hands, I hold peace and the future!"
Before Lin Yan could recover, he found that Zhang Guangmu's face was already in front of him: "Now..."
"I need a little help from you."
"I want the position of Deputy Lord of Yanlang Castle!"
This is obviously an attempt to play Cao Mengde's game in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" of "holding the emperor hostage to order the princes".
Zhang Guangmu feels that it is good to just take over the wisdom and experience of the sages and use it directly. If you think about it with great effort, it may be thankless and self-defeating.
So called...
If the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth, and if the words are not smooth, the things will not be accomplished.
No one thinks there is any problem with the wolf master's superior status in Yanlang Castle.
This is the power of habit and "name".
Hearing Zhang Guangmu's excessive request, Lin Yan subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"Ah……"
Yanlang Castle has never had a so-called deputy fort master.
Names and implements cannot be faked by others!
There is only so much power in total, and it will be divided thinly!
Once the deputy fort master is exposed, the so-called Yanlang fort master will gradually become a joke!
But when the words of rejection came to his lips, Lin Yan could not say them out.
"..."
He has always set his goal to dominate the world and become the Ninth Five Supreme Being, and he values his own life more than anything else.
In Lin Yan's view, a king can fail, but he can never die easily!
As long as a person is still alive, there is the possibility of a comeback!
If he died in Zhang Guangmu's hands in this dark room, there would be no "future" at all.
"I...I, I will help you secure your position as deputy castle master."
Lin Yan said "I" three times in a row before finally making up his mind.
Before, he was caught by Zhang Guangmu's sudden burst of mysterious power and his unconventional operation.
Now, when he came back to his senses, Lin Yan immediately realized a terrible and cruel fact.
A wolf master can only bind one flame wolf for a lifetime.
The appearance of Zhang Guangmu and Yanlang Baiyue here means that the Golden-necked Yanlang King is probably dead...
Therefore, Lin Yan, the weak master of Yanlang Castle, is like a candle in the wind, which may be completely extinguished at any time!
From Zhang Guangmu's perspective, the benefits of cooperating with a castle owner who has no ability to protect himself are obviously much greater than supporting a new king.
Lin Yan figured it out.
He is famous, Zhang Guangmu is powerful!
The temporary cooperation between the two is the best choice at the moment and the only way out for Lin Yan.
Even if you are a puppet castle master, you are still the castle master!
Lin Yan is no match for Zhang Guangmu in head-on combat, but when it comes to scheming and power play, his advantage is too great!
So, Lin Yan left the darkroom with Zhang Guangmu's "help" and announced the results of "God-level Wolf Controller Tianguang" that day.
Only then did Zhang Guangmu know that he had actually gone deep behind enemy lines and been undercover in the enemy camp for many years?
He has made a huge contribution to the safety of Yanlang Castle, devoted countless blood and sweat, and experienced hundreds of near-death battles?
Now that he has returned from victory, he has made great contributions to the development of Yanlang Castle?
Therefore, Zhang Guangmu was promoted to the deputy master of Yanlang Castle amidst strong opposition.
Not long after, the people living in Yanlang Castle gradually realized...
The young deputy castle master "Tianguang" seems to hold a series of positions of power that are not inferior to the castle master Lin Yan.
