Chapter 3191 Sharp Turn

Everyone is afraid of death, and nobles are no exception.

But compared with death, nobles are more afraid of death without dignity.

At this point, it is the same no matter whether it is the Zephyr Continent or the Demon Realm.

The head can be broken off, the hairstyle must not be messed up, the blood can be shed, and the leather shoes must be polished.

However, if I give him a chance to survive, a little humiliation is still acceptable.

As long as it doesn't go too far, they can basically do it.

The middle-aged uncle in front of him is this type of noble.

He is wretched, he is arrogant, he is mediocre, but he is not stupid.

He knows that once some things are beyond his cognitive scope, he must avoid them.

As the saying goes: Meddling in other people's affairs within the scope of one's ability is called bravery, impatient and righteous, and chivalrous and brave. Meddling too much in one's own affairs outside one's ability is called being decisive, calling one's life too long, and being stupid and reckless.

This is reality. The same behavior will be interpreted differently under different circumstances.

The choices made by middle-aged nobles tend to be options that can survive.

At this point, I have to praise the middle-aged uncle: Live very clearly, uncle, as long as you are alive, you can still enjoy everything, but once you die, the glory, wealth, favor and power in this life will be gone. .

Now that he was sure to survive, the middle-aged uncle stopped pretending to be tough and immediately became as humble and humble as possible.

Of course, this humility is only for me. As for the two guards next to him, he has long abandoned them like worn shoes.

The middle-aged uncle seemed to sincerely beg for my forgiveness, and I said frankly that I could forgive him, but there was one condition: that he write me a copy of the information he knew about this town and the southern continent.

After hearing the terms, he agreed and ran away without looking back.

"Will he give you information?" Blue Witch asked.

"No," I said, "Don't talk about information. I guess he won't even dare to show his face during this period of time."

"Then isn't your condition the same as asking for nothing?"

"This is already a very good result," I said, "He may investigate my identity, but he will never do it blatantly. In this case, the investigation will make no progress, and an investigation that makes no progress will only make him When you are angry, you are even more frightened. After all, the unknown is the most despairing thing."

"The result of living in fear is that he doesn't want to meet us anyway, let alone tell us what happened today, because it is not only a shame, but will also affect his status in the noble family. .”

"What does our matter have to do with him?" The Blue Witch asked puzzledly: "Why does it affect his status in the family?"

"The reason is very simple." I smiled lightly and said, "Because of the unknown, I am afraid."

"Is it because of the unknown again? I don't believe it."

"You don't believe it because you haven't been involved in aristocratic circles and don't understand their complicated hearts."

"Do you understand?" The blue witch asked, "I remember you said that you are not from a noble family."

"Yes" I nodded: "But I often come into contact with the aristocratic circle, so I have a very clear understanding of the behavior and thinking of the people in this circle."

"They seek advantages and avoid disadvantages more than ordinary people. Because of this, their desire for control is much greater than others. Once they encounter unknown situations, most of the time they do not take immediate action, but find ways to obtain relevant information from various channels. If If the intelligence collection is smooth and complete, they will immediately discuss strategies and take targeted actions. However, if the intelligence collection is not smooth or even yields nothing, they will fall into fear and even be in fear all day long and unable to sleep at night. .”

"Why is this?"

"Because they are nobles, and the intelligence channels that the nobles have are so huge that ordinary people cannot imagine it. But they still have no way to get what they want from them despite having such level of intelligence channels. There is only one possibility - —The identity of the visitor is definitely something that a nobleman of my level cannot afford to offend."

Poof.

The blue witch laughed out loud.

"You are more helpless than me in the devil world. It can be seen that your statement is not accurate."

"You're right, but they don't know, do they?"

I smiled a sly smile.

"You're so mean" the blue witch giggled.

I couldn't help but sigh: "When I'm kind, no one says I'm good. But when I'm cunning, some people say I'm bad. Oh, I'm helpless."

The resentful expression made the blue witch beside her giggle. Even Tuo Tuo raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a very human smile.

As I said, the middle-aged uncle didn't take the initiative to send information, and he didn't even go to the bar.

But judging from the surprised expression on the bar owner's face and the warm reception he gave me, it seemed that the middle-aged man's status in this town was not low.

Holding the glass of wine, I casually asked the bar owner, who is the middle-aged man?

In exchange, the bar owner shook his head like a rattle: "I don't know, I really don't know. He is just an alcoholic customer. He used to come here to have a few drinks every day. I don't know what happened in the past two days. Why?" Didn’t come”

He muttered to himself and walked towards the kitchen.

This not-so-obvious attitude of evasion further confirmed my suspicion.

But I didn't care about it, because the bar owner's status was very low and he couldn't afford to offend any nobles, so I could only speak carefully and live cautiously.

And just as he was talking, I saw several people not far away, glancing over here from time to time, looking directly at the boss, and their eyes were very unkind.

They are probably spies sent here by the middle-aged uncle. Their purpose is to know whether I will come here to inquire about his information and whether anyone here will betray his information.

I'm sure that as long as the bar owner says one more word about my problem, his life will be ended.

A cruel world.

After staying here for another two days, the Blue Witch and I embarked on the journey to the next town.

The motorcycle was still driving smoothly on the slightly bumpy road, and the scenery outside the window was still the same. But to my surprise, I could actually see some animals on this road!

You know, in the wilds of the Southern Continent, it is extremely rare to see animals wandering around. They either gather in one place or disappear. It is extremely rare for dozens of them to be scattered like this, walking all over the grassland.

"There's a deer, look, there's a deer!" The Blue Witch pointed out the window excitedly and shouted.

"I see, I see" I responded while driving, and at the same time I thought the childish behavior of the Blue Witch was very cute.

"Ah~~~I suddenly want to eat venison!"

The blue witch made a sharp turn and almost missed my waist.
