Chapter 836 What Should You Pay to Win?

"You are really having a bad taste. Let a monitor lizard who longs for the feeling of life be unable to arouse any sense of satisfaction in his heart after getting the thing he is looking for, and then turn to look for another one until he discovers the so-called life. , but they are just puppets that have been arranged long ago.”

"The Lizardmen are tools, to the Old Ones, to me, and to you. When you feel compassion for a tool, there is a cognitive error."

The corner of Imric's mouth, looking at the distant continent, twitched because of the words that came to his mind,

"Oh? How do you explain Tehenhoin? The secondary blessing he carries is enough to hatch three more Pakals. The upper limit of the skink's race has been determined. The value of the prophet is definitely not reflected by strength.

Being a leader, a preacher, is far more valuable than a warrior. "

As the waves crashed against the cliff repeated more than ten times, the hanging fishing rods of others were raised and lowered, and the hoarse voice emerged again,

"Thenhuoyin is different. One of the meanings of his existence is to carry all my blessings."

"Haha, what a double standard. Maybe in your eyes, lizardmen other than Tehenhoin are just tools with different values."

"That's a good thing for you. Elvis will focus all his attention on future plans..."

"But I don't need to use deception and concealment to turn a young man with high hopes into a tool. You arbitrarily deprived Pakal of his spiritual touch. This time, I will not allow you to treat the lizard man as a tool. A thing that can be used at any time." Tools thrown away!”

"I hope you understand what you are doing. Inhumane choices often lead to the best results..."

After ending this period of self-persuasion that no one knew about, Imrik shook his head with emotion. As time passed, he became more and more aware of what his own existence had become.

Those deprived emotions and memories may have been taken away by another being, making some actions that feel strange to oneself.

Pakal's spiritual touch actually existed for a brief moment, and it was at that moment that the monitor lizard was completely immersed in this satisfaction.

After discovering the colorful and gorgeous world, returning to the cold rules of Gujing Wubo is not the greatest pain.

And he spent decades searching for this sense of satisfaction again, and in the end, all he got was nothingness.

The Dragon Prince was silent for a long time, standing alone and proudly facing the sea. If a king needs to sacrifice the emotions of his children and nephews to achieve his goal, it would be too much of a failure.

He is the spear and shield of Caledor. While crushing all invading enemies, he must also protect the people.

Mishan put away the fishing rod and carefully counted how many treasures he caught today. After looking at the full bucket, he couldn't help but smack his lips, feeling that he was so lucky.

He jumped off the shoreline and picked up the wreckage of the ship that had been pushed here by the waves. The pieces of wood flew to the cliff with the force.

Not long after, a bonfire appeared, with a few simple iron sticks holding sea fish. Mishan called to the prince who was still deep in thought,

“I like what Mazov said, when you gaze into a campfire, everything that has passed before you appears in the flame.”

When Imrik came to the bonfire, he naturally took the iron sign, and together with Mi Shan, wearing sea fish, he seemed to be skilled in gestures.

"You rarely mention past events, especially when you are by my side as a guard."

"Life is life, and protection is duty. I don't want to confuse the two. Nova has always thought that I was just a coolie working for the elves, and I have never introduced her to you."

Mishan's bitter smile made Imrik's face become slightly bitter. His old friend loved his wife very much.

I heard that after Nova missed the white birch trees in her hometown, she spent a lot of effort to import more than a hundred trees from Kislev and asked a mage who specialized in the wind of life to help them survive successfully in Young Dragon Bay.

He did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy a piece of land in the port city where every inch of land was as valuable as an ornamental garden.

The birch trees growing proudly were planted by him and his wife themselves. Perhaps until now, Mishan has not had the courage to step into this garden built by his own hands.

"I very much agree with this saying, life is life, work is responsibility, but many times, the degree of confusion between the two has made it difficult for me to distinguish."

Mishan lowered the sea fish in his hand, looked at the sparks floating in the bonfire, and said sincerely what he had suppressed for a long time,

"We all know that you feel guilty about Adira. As a prince, you watched the death of Adela..." He shook his head slowly, then denied this statement, and his words became heavier,

"No, you feel guilty not only for Adira, but also for Phyllis, for Filonina, for Elvis, and for everyone who has made sacrifices because of you.

Because of the blue anger, Masnow's body's senses are now becoming more and more indifferent. Bruni possesses unique skills and outstanding achievements, but he still condescends to the second level. As your personal guard, Davian, due to his relationship with Saffrey, can only lead the expedition deep into the Dragonblight Wasteland, and has no chance to do anything in the Badlands, let alone two old friends who have lost news for a long time. "

"Are you questioning my decision?" Imrik was not angry, his tone was very serious.

Mishan shook his head and said that was definitely not the case, "No, Masnow had the opportunity to get rid of the blue anger, but he was greedy for this power and chose not to let it go. You should understand why. Bruni sticks to a second-tier position and never wants to climb. Go to the top floor just to be ready for your orders.

Davian is well aware of the importance of Saffrey to Caledor, and closely monitors Teclis' every move for you. However, when he is needed, he does not hesitate to resign from his important position in the White Tower of Hoth and go to the bitter cold dark place. land.

They firmly believe that personal sacrifice is irrelevant, and if the glory of the Dragon Kingdom requires a life to pay, they will be the first. "

Silence, this was Imrik's attitude.

Seeing the silence of his master, Mishan continued, "I don't know what the relationship between Sotek and you is, but the sacrifices made by Elvis are just an insignificant and one-sided manifestation of this kingdom.

You may sympathize with his plight, but I don't think you need to care. For a king, in many cases, his subjects are actually ready to sacrifice for you. What you have to do is not to live up to this loyalty. "

Imrik, who was holding the sea fish, shook his head and made a helpless smile.

"If the gentlemen of the Noble Council were to know that a human was teaching the prince how to control people, I am afraid that the gate of the Dragon Palace would be knocked down the next day."

"But precisely because I am a human being, I can express opinions that are different from theirs. You are ready for self-sacrifice, but you are unwilling to let people you are familiar with have this awareness."

Imric knew what Mishan was alluding to. The plan to attack Golden Oath City had been on his desk for several months. All parties were putting pressure on him, including the noble council, military representatives, civil society groups, including the most trusted Maas. promise.

They always wondered about the prince's hesitation, why they had to wait for the dwarves to send troops before they really went deep into the bad land.

There is only one real reason. Imrik is ready to lead the troops himself and combine danger and honor.

But now it seems that maybe I care too much about gains and losses...

In order to win, what should you do... (End of this chapter)
