Chapter 127 Chapter 127 “Othniel is really…
"Othniel's arguments were so well-reasoned that the other side couldn't argue with him, their faces flushed crimson," the speaker's face flushed with excitement, his eyes gleaming with admiration. His tone was so intense that he couldn't help but clench his fists, as if recalling a perfectly justified victory and a crushing defeat the other side was so reluctant to admit. He spoke with elation, "They can only say, 'I don't care about you.' He said, 'It's not that you don't care, it's just that you don't have the energy right now and plan to deal with it later. Don't be so hypocritical and pretend to be magnanimous. You're just kicking someone when they're down. If you really want to be magnanimous, it's not your turn. You're so incompetent, and you still think you're flawless. It's ridiculous."
The others, like a group of fans sharing stories about their idol, flushed and excited, kept asking, "What happened next? What happened next?"
"Later, he won completely, took the sign and disappeared, and I never saw him again." The person who spoke was full of regret, shook his head and said with great regret.
Everyone sighed and fell silent, as if they were savoring a sip of coffee. An atmosphere of savoring the taste filled the hall.
A man walked in from outside the door. His face was as handsome as an ancient Greek sculpture, his skin was as pale as paper, his figure was thin and tall, and he was wearing clothes that were extremely convenient for movement. He walked lightly, looked into the hall, and walked towards the window.
Everyone's spirits lifted, and as they exchanged glances, they all whispered in unison, "Here it comes!"
Bai Tianming didn't know who the visitor was, but after hearing what they said, he knew that the visitor was Othniel.
Bai Tianming was about to leave after listening to the story, but seeing how nervous they were, if he went out at this time, it would inevitably attract attention, so he just sat there and waited until they left before leaving.
Anyway, since Othniel went straight to the window after coming in, it means he has something to do. After he finishes his business, he probably won't stay here for too long.
Who knew that after talking to Chuang□□, Otanni suddenly turned around, looked straight at Bai Tianming in the crowd, and then walked over.
Everyone was surprised and looked at each other, not knowing who he was looking for, but they were all excited because they thought that Othniel might be looking for them.
They quickly tidied up their appearance, combed their hair, and tugged at their clothes to make sure they looked normal, with a smile on their faces and a pursed lip to prevent accidental drooling, although there might not be any, but they still had to check just in case.
They wanted to take out a mirror, but that would be too obvious, showing that they took it too seriously and might put pressure on others. They didn't want Othniel's eyebrows to frown because of them.
Everyone sat upright, looking at Odonie who was approaching with anticipation, just like a group of kindergarten children sitting in a row on benches, waiting for the teacher to come and give them red flowers.
Only Bai Tianming was not that nervous.
After all, although Bai Tianming had just heard the story of Odonie, he had never met him before, so it didn't feel real. Although he was looking forward to meeting him, it was just an expectation.
Bai Tianming didn't have anything particularly urgent that he wanted others to do for him, so he seemed lazy among them, which was actually very special.
It can be spotted at a glance, just like a rubber duck floating motionless on the water among a group of geese craning their necks to look at the shore.
Othoniel stared at Bai Tianming intently, walked towards him and stopped in front of him.
Everyone around them held their breath, sitting stiffly beside them in a posture almost ready to scream, secretly glancing at the two of them out of the corner of their eyes, their faces gradually flushed, like the onlookers in the heroic stories of ancient Greek mythology, feeling that they had the important responsibility of observing and recording, and a spontaneous excitement arose in their hearts.
"Hello," Odonie looked Bai Tianming over and smiled at him slowly, in a very friendly and polite manner. "I have something I would like to ask you for help with. Would you be willing to come to the conference room to discuss it with me in detail?"
Bai Tianming stood up. Although he didn't know what it was, he knew that something that could make someone like Odonie ask for help must be extraordinary. It might be very interesting. In addition, everyone around him was on high alert and very curious. For the sake of everyone's curiosity, he couldn't just turn around and leave and miss it. So he smiled and replied, "Okay."
"Please follow me." Othniel smiled, seemed relieved, nodded, and said to Bai Tianming.
Bai Tianming followed him to the meeting room.
It was a very clean, very quiet, blank room with a rectangular table in the middle and a bunch of black leather chairs next to it.
"Please feel free to sit down. No one usually comes here, but if you want to discuss something," Odonie casually pulled out a chair and sat down, smiling at Bai Tianming with a casual expression, as if he were entertaining guests at home. He said enthusiastically, "We'll choose this place nearby. It's usually cleaned by someone, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Bai Tianming raised an eyebrow, not knowing what he was talking about. But he found a chair near him and sat down, looking at him and asked, "I wonder what it is?"
"I plan to go in a few days," he hesitated, but finally said it. As he spoke, he stared straight at Bai Tianming's face and his eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. In a trance, he suddenly had an inexplicable illusion that he was about to drown in a poisonous hot spring. He quickly looked away. "To the inner city, are you willing to come with me? If we team up, our survival rate will be higher."
"Where is the inner city?" Bai Tianming blinked, his long eyelashes flashing like butterfly wings, his obsidian pupils flashing with the faint light of a wild wolf in the middle of the night, and he asked curiously.
Even though Odonie looked away, he still felt Bai Tianming's aggressiveness and curiosity. He suddenly remembered that he was staring at Bai Tianming because he wanted to know Bai Tianming's true reaction and infer Bai Tianming's thoughts and attitude. He felt a little regretful and looked at Bai Tianming again, and happened to meet Bai Tianming's eyes.
Bai Tianming looked at him with a smile, with pointed eyes, slightly raised lips, faint eye bags, and a straight nose, like a fox that had just transformed into a human form.
Otanni didn't dare to look directly into Bai Tianming's eyes. He looked away again and even turned his face to the side to avoid an accidental eye contact. His face turned red inexplicably and he forced himself to suppress the heat. He felt that the long fire had moved from his face to his heart, burning very fiercely, like a fireplace in a villa in winter, emitting blazing flames and illuminating most of the front hall. Sitting next to it, he could feel the temperature of the flame with his eyes closed, which could almost burn his hair instantly.
"The inner city," he paused, nearly forgetting what he'd memorized by heart. He thought for a moment, finally remembering a little bit. He hurriedly pieced together the fragments he'd remembered while speaking nonchalantly, "It's the one inside this city. It's called the Cursed City. It's said that most curses can be released within it without harming others or spreading outside the city, because the city's walls are made of steel and copper."
He spoke more and more fluently, and suddenly he fell into a big pit as if passing by. He regained his professionalism and explained in detail: "The steel is used to prevent people in the city from running away, and to prevent people outside the city from sneaking in. The copper is used to help prevent the curse in the city from spreading outward.
The reason why it is called auxiliary is that the copper skin is immovable after all. If it stands there, it is very likely to be stolen or damaged. If something really happens, it may not be able to arrive in time. Therefore, the main force to prevent the curse in the city from spreading outward is the White Wolf Clan among the orcs.
The White Wolf Clan has a tribe that survived the curse. They are called Cursed White Wolves. They are very effective in fighting the curse, have a lot of experience, and are very resistant. Therefore, they are specially used to protect innocent people inside and outside the Cursed City.
If we were to go in through the city gate seriously, we might meet Cursed White Wolf and his men. Although they are a little cold-tempered, they are not the kind of people who make unreasonable troubles, so nothing should happen.
After all, they face the curse all day long, so even if they want to be happy, they can't be happy. Even if they are happy, they have to restrain themselves, otherwise they will accidentally get too happy and get carried away, and the curse will be revealed, which will cause a big disaster. So they have to pay attention to their emotions at all times, it is impossible not to be cold. "
Bai Tianming nodded: "I understand."
"Then are you willing to form a team?" Othniel looked at him expectantly.
"I do," Bai Tianming thought for a moment. If the Cursed City could really spread curses at will, then after he entered, he could just leave the curse of the Rat in the Wall there, and his mission would be accomplished. He could prepare to return to the garden. He would have another companion, another helper. Moreover, this would be a very useful helper. Judging from the reactions of the others, he had no reason to disagree. "When are we leaving?"
"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow," Othniel pursed his lips, revealing a satisfied and delighted smile, suppressing an unconscious excitement, like trying to hold a full bowl, subconsciously not wanting to spill the water. "I need to pack up my things and take care of my own affairs. It will only take the next two days. It won't be too urgent, and it won't be too late."
Bai Tianming nodded. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow sounded very rushed, but it was okay. After all, tonight was not over yet. If he really wanted to rest, he could go back now and sleep for a few hours.
He smiled and said, "Okay."
"Is it settled then?" Othoni blinked his eyes and asked tentatively, like a furry stray cat facing a slowly extended white hand.
