Chapter 1,381 William’s Invitation
"What? Even you got the news. Is my matter a big deal?" Lin asked.
Although he spent most of his time running to the pub these days, Lin actually didn't deliberately collect information at all. Even the whispers in the tavern did not involve many topics in this area, as if everyone talking was avoiding themselves. So Lin had no idea how much repercussions his killing of the two dragons would actually cause.
Slaying a dragon is considered a big deal in other places, but the response is basically positive. After all, creatures like dragons, even if they are from the good camp, are not friendly to humans. At best, they don't regard the Homo sapiens race as food.
In addition, the destructive power of the dragon to the ecology is quite huge. If a giant dragon is not controlled, it can easily wipe out all living things in the land. For humans, the greatest threat is the loss of poultry and livestock. The dragons in the good camp may not eat humans, but they didn't say they wouldn't eat cows or sheep.
Therefore, the so-called 'good' camp among the dragons are just super creatures that are not so harmful. If there are adventurers willing to crusade, the people are still willing to accept the results of the successful crusade; the prerequisite is not to fail and anger the dragon.
But it's different in the Karlsruhe Empire, because there is a Dragon Island here, the largest gathering place of the Midi Dragon Clan. Very different from the habit of dragons living alone in other places, the reason why Dragon Island can gather dragons that exceed the ecological load of the area is because they already have an organization comparable to humans.
The manifestations of strength and power in an organization and on one's own are completely different levels. Because of this, the Karlsruhe Empire's attitude towards the Dragon Clan is much more cautious than other places.
William ordered himself a beer first. After taking a satisfied sip, he answered someone's question and said: "Dragon Island has suspended the transaction with the empire and requires that you be handed over before the transaction can be reopened. And it also released a document containing dragon crystal." There is a bounty on your head in exchange for your name. As for your whereabouts, because you didn’t hide yourself deliberately, you can’t get anything in exchange for such information on Long Island. However, the transaction volume in the black market is still quite large. . Many bounty hunters who want your head in exchange for rewards must have been gathering here secretly in the past few days."
"Dragon crystal. If it weren't for my head, I would want it. Is Longdao spending enough money this time?"
William curled his lips and said: "That's nothing to lose. I heard that the dragon crystals over there are piled up like a hill. They don't care about them. We are the only ones who regard those things as treasures."
"No, that's actually a treasure..." Lin tried to argue. But to the White Sword Master, whose values are different from those of ordinary people, and who treats things he doesn't care about as worthless, Longjing is really useless scum.
In short, discussing the value of something or something with the sword master is like a rich kid discussing similar issues with a fat man. One person will talk about luxury cars, yachts, and starlets, while the other person will focus on figurines and animation peripherals. Anyway, the two of them are not on the same channel, so the conversation will of course be boring.
However, Lin was quite surprised when this sword master came to him and actually took the initiative to talk about 'other people'. Even if this 'other person' is himself, Lin doesn't feel that his importance in this sword master's mind is so great that he would worry about me.
If he really knew how to do it...then someone would have to consider staying away from this sword master. Supporting a group does not mean that you want to be a member of it. Someone thinks that his sexual orientation is quite normal, but he cares more about the two-dimensional characters than the three-dimensional characters... No! Does this seem more perverted?
But that thought was just a mischievous and fleeting thought. Lin knew very well that this white swordsman had no need for lust. I don't know if I am practicing Tongzi Kung Fu or not.
But as far as Lin knew, the sword master's affection for the opposite sex or the same sex was more about seriously ignoring the other person and not taking others seriously than deliberately pretending to be stupid. He can be kind to everyone, but that doesn't mean he takes these people seriously.
The most obvious piece of evidence is that of the vast majority of the 'friends' that William calls, it is estimated that less than 10% of them can remember their names. This is not blindness or fear of life, it's just that I don't take it to heart.
Although he was lucky enough to be one of the people whose name was remembered by the White Sword Master, Lin didn't think that this person would come to him because he was worried about him. Lin Ye asked directly: "You didn't come here just to warn me, and you don't pay attention to the rewards. So, what do you want to do?"
William said in a calm tone: "Well, I'll accompany you to Dragon Island. Let's sit down and talk about this matter and see if there is a way to end it peacefully."
coming! The most famous William name in the Turtle Dove League, 'Let's talk'!
Lin curled his lips and said, "Don't you know that every time you want to have a good talk with someone, you talk about it and your whole family will die. What are your plans for dragging me this time? Dragon Slayer As long as you kill one giant dragon, you won't get the title of 'Supreme Dragon Slayer' even if you destroy the entire Dragon Island."
Now you know why the Ikaruga Alliance regards this white swordsman as one of their own. Even as his friend, sometimes he would want to strangle this guy because of William's attitude. So it is not difficult to imagine what his enemy would do and what consequences it would bring.
William, who was ridiculed, said slightly helplessly: "Actually, I don't want things to develop like that. But others are excited to kill, and I can't just stand and let them chop. So. This For once, I seriously hope that you two can talk it over and resolve this matter."
"Do you think there's a chance?" Lin asked.
William nodded. "According to what my father said, there are actually different opinions within Longdao. Even internal strife will become an opportunity for outsiders. The forces that can trade with Longdao do not necessarily have all the support of Longdao, but It’s just a part of the dragon clan. It’s just that they will maintain a seemingly consistent attitude towards the outside world.”
This news may not be known to people who are not familiar with Long Island. But once you know it, it’s very useful. At least Lin knew that Dragon Island was not impenetrable and that it had troubles that outsiders couldn't see.
I just spent my time exploring the mountains on Dragon Island, trying to find ways to get the best of both worlds and get rid of my troubles. Or would it be easier to maintain the status quo and simply ignore the threat from Dragon Island?
However... Lin looked suspiciously at the extremely unusual and eloquent white swordsman in front of him. Being so concerned about outsiders' affairs is not something this man would do.
Whenever you have to ask this man to do something, you have to come up with a good reason. The best thing is that it has something to do with the man himself, and you have to have a persistent attitude to have any hope of success.
This time he actually took the initiative to deliver it to your door! And he also looked very positive and motivated. This made Lin have to wonder if there was something wrong behind it.
Of course, it can't be a conspiracy. William Geng didn't even know how to write the word "conspiracy", so others couldn't use him if they wanted to. But it is not ruled out that the White Sword Master has other ideas, and this is not unprecedented. So Lin Zhi asked: "Is there any more?"
Without being shy or hiding it at all, William nodded slightly and continued as if nothing had happened: "Although my home is very close to Dragon Island, by the time I wanted to go to the island to have a look, I was already far away from home. I was too lazy to run away. Then come back. So I want to take this opportunity to go to the island with you and look around. Otherwise, in normal times, there is no good excuse, and Long Island does not allow ordinary people to land on the island at will. But I heard my father say, as long as the first Once you pass the level, the restrictions after that are not as strict as the island landing level.”
……All right. I have forgotten that if this thing were placed in my hometown, it would be at the level of a senior traveler. And he is the kind of person who dares to go out and wander without half a dime in his pocket.
According to William himself, it had been at least more than ten years since he left home when he was a teenager, during which time he had never returned home, or even thought about such a thing. It's as if there is no such place for me to grow up. Even when he came back, it felt like he was curiously comparing the changes between now and when he was a child, rather than being concerned about this family.
For such a long time, he kept wandering around the Lost Land, seeing the beautiful scenery in one place after another, and enjoying life. See things you have never seen before, eat things you have never tasted, and experience things you have never experienced before. This is the purpose of William Greco's life.
It's just that he doesn't like to take the initiative to mention this to others. It’s not the feeling that the past is too much to look back on, but that you attach great importance to everything you have experienced, but you don’t want to show it off to others. But if anyone asks, as long as he knows something, he will not hesitate to share it with others.
To put it simply, using the same example from my hometown, I am obviously a traveling traveler, but I don’t carry a mobile phone, check in, take photos, or write a travel diary. Unless you have traveled with him for a while and chatted with him, you would have no idea what a colorful life this man lived.
For such a person, because he has never been to Long Island, it is normal for him to want to visit the island when he sees an opportunity. Right.
…
Because it was so natural, Lin didn't know where to start.
Gordon Island is going to the Hongmen Banquet to negotiate. It turns out that my younger brother went to the island for sightseeing. Why do I feel like I will be torn apart by five horses after I get to Dragon Island? Then the little brother was taking pictures and playing card games next to him!
Because he couldn't complain and didn't know how to answer the question, Lin simply asked seriously: "You said that after landing on the island, there are not so many restrictions on movement on Dragon Island. But it doesn't allow us to run around and wander around casually. Bar."
"I don't think any dragon can stop the two of us, even if it's just me. But considering that I don't want to swim back, asking you to go with me is the best choice."
……All right. Lin estimated that this guy's idea was to go sightseeing on Long Island and solve his brother's troubles along the way.
