I have two principles as a human being:
1. Never lie.
2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.
“Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the ...
“Are you alone?
What about the learned scholar?
After sending the blind man away, Cheng Shi looked at Qin Xin again. He finally had the opportunity to have a good exchange with this [Memory] believer who was suspected to be the founder of the Fire Transmission.
Qin Xin smiled slightly, first glanced at the other body in front of Cheng Shi, then pointed in the direction outside the town and explained:
“The scholar trusted me very much, so he decided to improve his efficiency again and let me act separately from him.
He knew something about the lava crystal mine, so he went there, and I stayed in the town to wander around."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi's expression suddenly became strange.
"He sent you to the mine alone. Aren't you curious?"
“Of course I was curious. I secretly followed him for a while. He was very cautious and seemed to have noticed someone was around, so he behaved normally.
You know, this is a test that requires trust. I can't waste time following a teammate for no reason, so after a while, I came back with nothing. "
"Are you here to see us?" Cheng Shi was a little surprised. From the other party's tone, it seemed that he was talking to him and the blind man.
“Yes, compared to the selfishness of a scholar, I want to know the result on your side more, but now, I already know.
pity. "
"..." They are all very smart people. In their eyes, it seems that nothing needs to be said. They can infer the relationship between the two people present just by taking a general look at the scene.
Cheng Shi was impressed in his heart, but then he frowned again, because he suddenly remembered Qin Xin's attitude in the hotel before, which seemed different from now.
He remembered that the other party had frowned and looked at the blind man many times, and that expression was obviously a little surprised by the blind man's prediction and his stay, but why was he...
"Who is this person?" Qin Xin interrupted Cheng Shi's thoughts, looked at Adric and asked.
"Adric is a captive miner. We found that his memory was a little confused. We suspected that he was the breakthrough point of the trial, so we took him to find the second breakthrough point, a shack girl named Aromani."
As he spoke, Cheng Shi looked up at the sky, but the tracking thread that had long been invisible to him had completely dissipated with the blind man's death.
Qin Xin nodded: "So, we should probably go meet the scholar."
"Interesting, you don't seem to be worried about the blind man's death, nor do you care whether I join the Firebringer?
The blind man's invitation should have been obtained with your consent, right?"
Cheng Shi carried Adric again and prepared to go to the mine with Qin Xin. As for the blind man, there was no need to stay there and waste time before he returned.
Qin Xin smiled slightly and took the miner's body. The burly miner looked a little petite against the backdrop of his heavily armed body.
He did not carry the person on his shoulders like Cheng Shi did, but directly held him by his legs and walked forward effortlessly.
“You are curious about my identity, and maybe you guessed it right, but it may not be correct.
I said, Cheng Shi, I believe you, so I'm not worried about the blind man.
As for whether you are willing to join the Firebearers...I have discussed the invitation issue with the blind man. She is a person who is very keen on the future. In fact, she is very similar to you. She is not a real Firebearer. We are just colleagues, but she chose to join when we were in the same industry, while you chose to refuse.
Maybe that's why she wants to pull you in as well.
I originally thought this was a bother to you, because I knew that if another firewood seeker from the Firebringer also met you, she might invite you given her personality, but the fact that you kept your identity secret and refused to reveal it meant that you had already rejected us once.
But the blind man insisted on doing so and convinced me. She said this was not an opportunity for you, but an opportunity for the Firebringer. She could feel your help to us, just as she could feel that she would stand with the Firebringer in the future.
However, I had already expected your rejection.
Cheng Shi, I'm sorry, maybe we are too weak, so we want to fight for this opportunity, but you don't need to care too much, because after this trial, reminiscing and mourning will make the blind man and I forget everything.
Lao Deng will die at the hands of the Firebringer, and Chen Shuo...even though he chose to join us, I still made him swear an oath of silence, so you are safe.
I am also thankful that the Firebringer did not cause you any more harm than you thought."
"......"
This was the first time that Cheng Shi didn't know what to say in response to the other party. Qin Xin covered every detail, explaining everything from the cause to the process to the result, and even thought of the aftermath that he usually had to deal with. He could only listen and could not make any other reaction.
The scene suddenly fell silent, and a heavily armored warrior carrying a corpse walked side by side with a fortune weaver towards the mine outside the town.
But not long after they walked, they met Wang who was returning from the mine outside the town.
This knowledgeable scholar, like Qin Xin, was holding a seemingly unconscious woman in his hand and ran into the two men on the path out of the town.
Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Scholar, this lady in your hand, is she a shack girl named Aromani?"
Wang was stunned, then turned his head to look at the corpse in Qin Xin's hand, nodded and said:
"It seems we have something to gain. I found this confused lady in the mine's infirmary, where she was being treated by a quack doctor.
