Chapter 889 (1/1)
After coming out of the crack, cheese didn't do anything immediately. Time is very urgent, so we must plan before we move. He sat by the crack and studied the knot that had been pulled in place of Lothar. When the thing was just pulled up, Batu and atta both wanted to throw the seemingly disturbing thing back into the crack, but the mage stopped them. This is not the first time that knots have appeared, Shaman's dream, what they saw in the eagle's eye and what is now here. There is no accidental and meaningless thing in the world that will repeat so many times.
Batu and atta are looking at the enchanted grey robes about 50 steps from the cheese. They have been working with cheese for a short time. They don't know much about the mage's behavior and performance. Therefore, in their view, cheese at this time is more like remembering the lost companion and blaming himself for his decision to go deep into the rift. Of course, this is mainly because they can only see the back of the mage. If they can see the focus of cheese, I'm afraid they will not have this idea.
Time turns slightly, and when Wuqi comes with the food, cheese has finally finished his research. Almost at the same time, after the swordswoman quickly explained to the shaman what had happened before, cheese stood up and stuck the knot in the ground. The grey robe went straight to the companions, without any meaning of speaking. He took the food from the Shaman's hand and began to eat. He did not look into their eyes until they had finished eating under the gaze of the other three.
”Lothar is not dead.” It's easy to understand that the mage is comforting the consequences of his decision, just like the situation in which the person concerned cannot be considered dead as long as the body is not seen. But the problem is that there is no evasion or hypocrisy in cheese's eyes. What he said is not an ambiguous guess or a statement of a possible fact. He is announcing the result of this matter, which is beyond dispute and can not be doubted.
”Are you sure?” Wuqi first expressed doubts. The knots, no matter who made them, no matter what the meaning of the knots, he did not think it was a sign of moderation. These knots are unclean and can only bring disaster and destruction, which is not only his judgment, but also the judgment of the spirits. Now that the count is missing in the breach, he is replaced by the knot tied to the lower end of the broken rope. From any angle, Lothar may be in a precarious situation.
”It's a little trick. Whatever it was that took Lothar, if it could really kill the man who had come back from the deep sea, it would not have left it on purpose. Because it has no ability to kill him directly, it can only cheat him and take him away. Even, it has to make sure that what is done in the breach is not discovered by anyone outside the breach. What we have to face is far less terrible than we think. Besides, you want to kill a single father with a daughter? It's one of the hardest things I know Cheese said this with a smile.
As for his remark that a single father with a daughter is one of the most difficult people to kill in the world, it is not pure ridicule. Whether a person is difficult to kill or not is related to the vigilance of the slain, knowledge reserve, physical fitness and other factors. It can be put in the immediate urgency, and the most important thing is the desire for survival. There is an instinct in creatures that, in order to continue the continuity of race, is inscribed in their genes. They will sacrifice themselves in order to protect their offspring, which exists in both wild animals and humans. In this era of human society, men as the main labor force and combat force of the gender, must undertake the family, especially the protection of family members. At this point, Lothar has failed once. He watched his wife die in front of him. The regret and pain would become a nightmare of his life. The only way to relieve him of this pain is to cultivate his own daughter. Even before he was an adult, he would never be more loyal to the lion than to herself.
Once upon a time, cheese makers would despise this kind of persistence, believing that it was the result of worldly people's too one-sided understanding of the world and trapped themselves in the huge quagmire of the secular world. In the view of the grey robe living in the tower, nothing in the world is worth persisting in. Only the truth, the truth of everything, and the key to solve all problems are the significance and value of human existence. But now the mage is in the analysis of Lothar's state at this time will have a light envy of his friend. At least he knows what he wants.
So what am I asking for? Why should I intervene in what happened here? Why should I be so curious? Why should I be so persistent in such a remote appeal. Truth, is that really more valuable than what Rosa is after? What is the standard of value?
These problems, which began to haunt cheese as soon as they were on the road, reappeared. He craves the answers to these questions, but he is afraid to get them. If the answers to these questions are not the same as what he wants, does it mean that all the actions of the cheese individual so far have been wrong? Problems give birth to problems, and problems lead to problems. However, no matter what kind of problems these problems will eventually become, today's mages know what they should do. He has to bring that persistent person back.”Help me with the supplies. We'll take care of the Skinner tonight, and we'll leave for your former station tomorrow. ”
The shaman looked at the gray robe with gradually identified voice, and showed a complex expression. ”I admire your knowledge and your courage. Therefore, I don't think carefully about the fact that my tribe once wanted to hurt you and you attacked me. Until now, I want to help you, but I can't. In addition to bringing you some food, the main thing I want to tell you is that two of the people who went out to fetch water this morning did not come back. They were both killed, their bodies insulted, their guts taken out and laid on the ground. ”
Wuqidun then continued to speak, as if the language made him recall the scene of the autopsy just now, ”in our faith, the body after death is not so important. But even if it's not that important, it doesn't mean it can be profane. The skinners have declared war on us. And we'll fight, even if it's an egg against a stone. As for you, things here have nothing to do with you. You can and should leave. It's just that I can't help you any more. ”
Both ATA and Batu were surprised to varying degrees. They didn't expect that the placid shaman was actually carrying such a heavy message. Cheese looked over Wuqi and looked at the yurt of shale department behind him. After a few minutes, the mage slowly said, ”I know. We will leave. May your spirits bless you. ”
