Chapter 989 Like a Child
Night fell. .`
The dark wood forest was even darker under the night, and only a few hilltops in the vast forest were glowing with flames, which were the lairs of several fringe bandit groups who had wandered into the dark wood forest. The fire on one of the hills was brighter than usual, and anyone who was familiar with the distribution of the bandits in the Blackwood Forest would know that it was the village of Dark Spear.
The mountain wind was strong, blowing Lucy's golden hair. The girl stood alone on a high slope. From here, she could see the gray hills under the moonlight. There was a bonfire burning behind Lucy, and there was a series of soft crackling noises in the fire, and occasionally a burst of sparks would be emitted, and then scattered in the wind.
Footsteps sounded, Lucy turned her head, and a figure sat behind the fire. Edward's pupils were bright red by the bonfire, like red maple trees in autumn. The corners of his mouth were pulled up, revealing a reserved smile: "Your Highness, it's getting late, I thought you should go to sleep."
Lucy shook her head: "Can't sleep, get up and take a walk."
"Can't sleep or don't want to sleep?"
"Is there a difference?"
Edward didn't get entangled in this issue, and changed his words: "If you are worried about Master Allen, then you don't need to worry about it at all. w?ww."
"You have confidence in him." Lucy's green eyes sparkled, "I also believe that he can change the pattern of the Dark Land, but when he is not around, I always feel a little bit worried. Edward, haven't you ever thought that things might change?"
"Of course I have thought about it." Edward said unhurriedly: "Everything in the universe is changing all the time. If the universe is like this, how can we be an exception? The so-called variables are unexpected factors that were not predicted in the previous plan. But I have deduced it many times, at least in the Dark Land, even if there are variables, it will not affect Master Allen's plan."
"Oh?" Lucy obviously didn't believe it so easily.
Edward smiled slightly and said: "In fact, the biggest variable is people, especially powerful people. The changes they can bring about are the biggest and the deadliest, but there are no such people in the Dark Land. Unless these people come from the Dark Land Outside, if you want to threaten us and Master Allen, it is obvious that a character above the Marquis can do it. I don't think such a character can arrive in a short time, so if a time is limited, such a person Variables don't exist and don't worry about them. ?.?? `c?om"
"If you want to worry, you should put it after we leave the Dark Land."
Lucy rolled her eyes and said, "You mean, after Allen changed the pattern of the Dark Land,
Those who have a heart will really value us. "
"It's almost like that." Edward stirred the fire with a wooden branch to make the fire burn hotter. Looking at the fire, he said: "The evaluation of Master Alan by the people in the northern capital should still be based on his previous achievements. Such an evaluation is not accurate at all. There were dead soldiers from the army attacking. However, the former, Huo Yi's so-called test, was simply to show off for the young master. Huo Yi only fired two shots, and did not try his best. These two guns are used as a reference for Master Allen's combat power. As for the dead soldiers in the army, how much water can a group of dead soldiers of more than ten levels throw? Jomo's action is just a test of the water, and he can't try it yet. Our depth can only be used as a set of dispensable data for reference.”
"But the Dark Land is different. Master Allen and Undead Joey will have to fight after all. That old Joey is said to have a strength of 28th level, even if his age and other factors are taken into account, it will be lower. Say, at least level 27, right?" Edward raised his head and said, "Then when Joey died under the knife of Master Allen, Beidu would have a more accurate assessment of what Master Allen said."
When Lucy heard this, she also nodded and said: "So if those caring people take action, they will definitely send experts. In other words, after leaving the dark place, there will be a series of tough battles?"
"Probably so. Fortunately, even the royal family and dignitaries probably won't be able to invite the so-called ten holy powerhouses. Therefore, our journey will not go too smoothly, but we still hope to reach the northern capital."
Lucy shook her head and said, "Actually, I don't agree with this trip to the north. In the final analysis, our foundation is too shallow, and we don't have enough foundation. Going north with such a pretentious nature is naturally difficult."
"If it's normal, it's naturally a low-key operation. It's more appropriate to accumulate a lot of money. But Master Allen has a big plan, and the time he gives himself is very limited, so we can only take risks. It's a big gamble." Edward said lightly: "If it's just for the sake of safety, it is actually the most appropriate to go by water. But in this way, even if Master Allen arrives in the northern capital, it will not shock people. That's why I gave him After drawing up this route, we will fight all the way from the southern border, and only when this north-south trade route is opened up, will Master Allen receive enough attention."
Lucy sighed softly: "I know he is doing it for the family. When I returned to Babylon, I probably knew something about the game between the federation and the nobility. But the family is not his alone. It is too much for him to take responsibility like this." It's heavier. If..."
Edward seemed to know what she wanted to say, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, I am also a man. So I know very well that Master Allen hopes to gain the approval of certain people through his own efforts. That includes your father, honorable Your Majesty Orfascist. If you are just an ordinary person, then Master Alan may be lazy. But you are the princess of Ida Huaxing. If Master Alan wants to stand by your side, you must work harder. He knows this better than you."
"His hard work, his hard work. Not only for the family, but also for you, and at the same time, people like me who are beside him. If it weren't for him, then Broy would still be a slave, not the current leader of the King of the Mountain .If it wasn't for him, I would still be fleeing between planets now. He is becoming stronger, and we are also changing. And our changes are all due to him. Such a simple truth, as long as you are not blind, you can see it come out."
"He doesn't need you to pay anything, for Master Allen. As long as you are by his side, it is the greatest support." Edward smiled gently: "Sometimes a man is ambitious, but sometimes, it can be as simple as that." like a child."
Lucy smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me this, Edward, you really know a lot."
Edward lowered his head, looked at the bonfire and said softly, "It's just that I have experienced more than others, and it's not worth mentioning."
