Chapter 246 The real revelation
After a moment, Mo Tan was the first to break the silence. He raised his head and met Xia Lian's eyes: "Come to my room."
"Huh?!" The first saint of the Dawn Sect almost jumped up, then cautiously took two steps back, pointed at Mo Tan and exclaimed: "You, you, you, what are you going to do! I am a serious elf. ! Still Wangyu's mentor, even if I haven't had a boyfriend in these hundreds of years..."
"Stop!" The corner of Mo Tan's mouth twitched, interrupting the other person's nonsense. Face said solemnly: "It's all a mess, I just took you to see something! Yuchen is coming too."
Yuchen, who was giggling behind Mo Tan, nodded quickly.
Xia Lian still looked horrified: "What are you going to show me! Ah, Yuchen, don't you mind..."
"Okay, I won't go." Mo Tan sighed, mentally exhausted. He spread his hands and said: "You can find a place to hang me up and beat me."
"Cut, open a It's just a joke." Xia Lian's expression that was mixed with fear, confusion, vigilance, and fear suddenly turned away. She curled her lips and said, "Let's go, hurry up and explain the matter."
Mo. Tan nodded with a grimace and turned around to give Yu Chen a look that said, "I feel so tired."
Yu Chen covered her mouth and chuckled, then blinked her big bright eyes and said, 'Okay, okay, Sister Saint probably just opened it because of excessive pressure and a little stimulation. Just kidding, I want to relax~'
Mo Tan thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to express, so he took the lead in the opposite direction of the United Holy Church... with his head downcast.
Yu Chen pulled him back with a snicker on his face: "Before you memorize the map of the city, I'd better go in front~"
Mo Tan: "... "
Xia Lian looked up to the sky and sighed: "I just said that I have been single for hundreds of years, and you two are almost the same!"
......
Twenty minutes later
Holy Church United Chapel, Mo Tan’s room
“This is it?”
Xia Lian looked at the table in front of her in surprise, which was larger than the tabletop In the upper half circle, there are a lot of lines and labels drawn on it, and there are a bunch of various chess pieces on both sides. It is a very detailed map of Misha County. I can't help but feel a little dazed: "Combat map?"
"That's right, Sister Saint." Yuchen nodded obediently, and while carefully inserting the two quills lying on the table, he replied: "It's Mo Tan's special combat map~"
< br>
Xia Lian blinked, then moved to the north position on the map and looked at it for a long time. After looking at it for a while, she nodded slightly: "Well, I don't understand."
Mo Tan laughed dryly: "No. I understand what you are nodding to."
“It looks professional.” Xia Lian chuckled, and then picked up a horse-head-shaped white chess piece: “What is this for?”
“It represents a safe team. "The Knight Squad." Tan shrugged, then stretched out his finger and tapped another chess piece, which immediately turned light red in a hazy brilliance: "This is a low-level threat, and it will take a certain amount of time to resolve it." That kind of thing."
Xia Lian felt a wave of magic power the moment the chess piece lit up. She poked the 'Knight Squad' in her hand with interest, causing the latter to be dyed. A blush spread: "What about this?"
"This is a serious threat." Yu Chen explained in a low voice from the side: "The gap in combat effectiveness is too large. If we resist head-on, there will be a lot of casualties. We must immediately move to join other teams."
Xia Lian smacked her lips. , once again increased his magic power Output, soon, cracks appeared on the horse-head-shaped chess piece, and all the light outside was extinguished. Her Majesty the Holy Lady looked solemn: "Then this is a state of total destruction?"
"Uh, not really." Mo Tan shook his head calmly Head, said equally seriously: "This is a state where the magic power is overloaded and the chess pieces are broken. Well, the cost of this thing is 10 silver coins. You see..."
Xia Lian laughed, He patted Mo Tan's shoulder hard: "Okay! I'm right You are really impressed. You must have solved the problem through these things, right?"
Mo Tan nodded: "Yes, but I personally paid for these chess pieces and entrusted Miss Luna to help make them. So..."
"Hahahaha, that's great. I will definitely praise you greatly to His Majesty the Pope when I go back~"
"Thank you, but my recent financial situation has been..."
"Taylor Don’t worry over there, I’ll educate him later, and I’ll make sure he doesn’t have any objections to your little tricks!”< br>
"That's great, but those 10 silver coins..."
"Hey, you must introduce that little alchemist to me later. The 'trainee' level can't be helped. After making something like this, I will take her back to the Alchemist Association in the City of Light for another evaluation.”
"Luna doesn't seem to care about this very much. Compared to this, when did the 10 silver coins you broke just now..."
"Damn it!" Xia Lian raised her eyebrows and stared. Xiaoya choked and said angrily: "You kid, do you have any sense of discernment! Why can't you see why I've been fooling you for so long!?"
"I understand." Mo Mo Tan smiled and nodded, and then suddenly asked when Xia Lian's expression had just calmed down: "But those 10 silver coins..."
Xia Lian: "I @#￥%&!!!"
Yu Chen chuckled at the side and whispered to Xia Lian with a smile: "He is teasing you, Sister Saint~"
"Ah?" Xia Lian was stunned at that time, and quickly confirmed to Yuchen in a low voice: "He doesn't want to ask me for money..."
"No, it's a joke~"
< br>“10 silver coins, that’s not What a small number! You really don’t want it?”
“Uh... I really don’t want it.”
Xia Lian sighed and glared at Mo Tan: “You’re kidding. Don’t tell me earlier!”
The latter laughed sarcastically: "I didn't know that little money could put so much pressure on you..." "You know what the heck, a clergyman like me who lives and eats in the church and relies on the church for everything he does when he goes out has no chance." I don’t have any savings.” Xia Lian spread her hands and said, “Ten silver coins is a huge sum of money for me now~”
Mo Tan couldn’t help but be in awe and appreciate it from the bottom of his heart. The hard work style of a high-level clergyman like Xia Lian, and then...
“Because my life is not stressful, the money will be spent quickly as soon as I get it~”
The last sentence of Her Majesty the Saint made him stop right where he was.
"Ahem, that's probably what happened." Mo Tan choked for a while before he suppressed the emotion in his heart. He pointed at the map and the chess pieces on the table and explained: "We have achieved some results by relying on these talents. Well, that's it."
Yu Chen also nodded: "Yes, yes~"
"Oh, so that's what happened." Xia Lian smiled happily. He patted the two of them on the shoulders, and then knocked Mo Tan upside down with his backhand: "You think you can fool me by saying this?! What's the point!?!?!"
[ Alas, there is really no way to muddle through this easily. 】
Mo Tan slowly got up from the ground, exchanged glances with Yu Chen without any trace, and then looked up at Xia Lian: "What point are you referring to?"
< br>
Xia Lian glanced at him and said with a smile: "Do you want me to explain it clearly? Okay, then let's talk about how you arranged the action routes and plans of those teams... You can also issue temporary instructions to them."
Yu Chen timidly opened his mouth, "That's..."
"Good boy, you'd better think it through~" Xia Lian touched Yuchen's silky hair kindly, and said leisurely: "If it is explained by the words 'the saint has obtained the magical crystal that can communicate over long distances through communication with the goddess', Hei Fan will be hanged. Get up and beat me until you cry~"
Yu Chen: "..."
She really seemed to want to try this rhetoric just now.
In fact, from the player's point of view, this matter is not difficult to explain at all. As the temporary adjutant of the temporary commander, Yu Ying temporarily added a group of friends, and then arranged those people one by one according to online time and configuration needs. In the knight team, at Mo Tan's request, those players mixed with NPCs would contact Yu Ying as soon as possible no matter what happened, and the latter would then feed back to Mo Tan, and finally feed back specific instructions, and those players would One of the rhetorics of "Lord Taylor's Secret Arrangement" is used to mobilize and direct.
Because Mo Tan’s average online rate is not very high, he always arranges two sets of tasks, namely his regular patrols and low-risk search and rescue tasks when he is offline, and wasteland reclamation tasks that require a lot of changes. , the former is a search, rescue and clearing operation in an area that has been guaranteed to be generally safe, which is better than safety and stability. In most cases, the latter requires Mo Tan himself to conduct online dispatching, and he can gain a lot every time.
Of course, the third situation occasionally occurs, that is, Mo Tan suddenly disconnects when several teams are conducting land reclamation operations. However, because he has the talent of 'premonition' that can give him a few more seconds, so Before Mo Tan found out that he was about to be offline, he would quickly tell Yu Chen and Yu Ying how to deal with the aftermath. Although the effect was limited, there had been no accidents in such a long time.
All in all, their series of operations during this period were actually not complicated at all...
From a player's perspective.
But NPC is different!
[Sure enough, I still didn’t think of a suitable word or explanation before Xia Lian came back, but is there really no problem in telling her directly like this? Not to mention me, Yuchen, as an 'other worlder', actually became a saint of the Dawn Sect. From the perspective of God, there is no problem (certain), but can the secular church accept this kind of thing? Xia Lian is not Cole. Should she tell the truth while ensuring that Yu Chen is safe, or should she lie without being exposed? How much did she learn about what happened during this period on the road? Damn, I'm really not good at this...]
Mo Tan frowned hesitantly. Xia Lian's early return made him a little confused. If possible, he really hopes that he can now If you become a 'chaotic neutral' personality, things should become much easier, but...
[Huh? 】
Mo Tan's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he narrowed dangerously, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He suddenly looked up at Xia Lian, and said with a calm smile: " It’s a long story, and to be honest, it’s really hard to talk about~”
A feeling of sudden enlightenment made him inexplicably excited. At the same time, the [Reflection] in the talent column of the 'Hei Fan' character panel had quietly become activated.
And his camp...
"Is it really hard to talk about it?" , then stop talking.”
“Huh?”
Yu Chen and Mo Tan were both stunned. The former looked at his saint sister with wide eyes and disbelief, while the vague madness in the latter's eyes was instantly dispersed, and the [Reflection] talent silently Closed, the character's camp of 'Black Van' also changed back to 'Absolute Neutral'.
Both of them were a little confused.
"Is it an accident?" Xia Lian took a sip of the hot water that Yuchen had just boiled. She leaned on the table holding her weighty cross, her temperament was calm and indifferent, as if she had been pierced by someone's soul. After the two of them finally recovered, they said leisurely: "You two, don't you think I didn't find anything?"
Yu Chen shivered at that time.
But Mo Tan asked calmly: "Are you referring to your old friend or something?"
Xia Lian smacked her lips, turned her head and looked at him steadily: "I mean Mo Tan..."
"Huh?" The latter responded subconsciously, and then widened his eyes in vain: "What did you just call me?!"
< br>"Mo Tan." Xia Lian smiled slyly, stretched out her long and white index finger and shook it gently: "Wangyu often calls you that, doesn't he? The most recent one should be the sentence just now, 'This is... Mo Tan’s special combat map~' , I’m obviously talking about you, right?”
Mo Tan lowered his head and fell silent. During the half month that Xia Lian was away, he and Yu Chen had been calling each other by their first names for a while, so much so that just now She didn't react at all when her real name was called by Yuchen, and listening to what Xia Lian just said, it revealed more than that...
Yuchen was also stunned, and she was obviously the same. Only then did he realize how problematic his previous sentence was.
"Don't be nervous. The abnormalities I discovered are far more than these. I just never mentioned them." Xia Lian's eyes flashed with wisdom. At first glance, she looked like a mainstream saint. She gently tugged at herself With his pointed ears, he smiled and said: "Whether it was Hei Fan or Mo Tan, when you first appeared in front of me, or when I first saw Xiao Wangyu, I could feel some inexplicable dissonance. Although it is as weak as an illusion, it exists without a doubt. Your way of speaking, your lack of popular knowledge, and many of the words you usually speak are not like... well, how should I put it, at least In my concept, he doesn’t look like a normal person.”
Mo Tan/Yuchen: “…”
“I am a saint who has lived for hundreds of years. Ah."
Xia Lian raised her eyebrows and winked at the two of them playfully: "Do you really think I'm as stupid as those stupid knights with muscles in their heads~"
