Chapter 2398 Hunting (actually no hunting)
Game time PM17:24
Eastern part of Savage Highlands, outer area of ancient ruins [Codename: Purple Night]
"Wang Ha !”
With a cry of joy With cheers, two fat rodents with their necks broken and delicious meat were thrown in front of Mo Tan and Largo, and the vigorous hunter had already swept out again with a gust of fragrant wind, Rushing into the depths of the wasteland, which is really beautiful under the sunset, but the terrain is quite complicated.
"Tsk, tsk."
Largo smacked his lips, picked up the big pomelo rat in front of him, weighed it twice, and couldn't help but sigh: "Girl Yaya's hunting efficiency is enough to crush those of us who call ourselves... born hunter She's a Highlander."
Mo Tan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Indeed, and I think she came more like 'restocking' than 'hunting'. The ingredients she got in a short time are enough for us. Have you eaten for two days?”
"That's not the case. Birger and I eat much more than you do, and even if we can't eat it, the food can be made into portable rations and won't be wasted."
< br>Seeing that he had no place to use himself, Largo simply sat cross-legged on the small slope where the two of them were standing, staring straight at the direction Yaya left, and said with envy: "What a natural talent. Scout.”
"It doesn't matter what you are born with."
Because he didn't intend to disturb Yaya's interest and let the dog girl who was addicted to hunting take care of herself, Mo Tan simply sat down and said casually: " Yaya is not in good health and is experiencing After a long period of hard life, we all just want her to be happy."
Largo was stunned for a moment, and then said with a self-deprecating smile: "I'm so sorry, I am also an occupational disease prisoner. When I see people, I always think of them first What would happen if you were in a mercenary group? It would be quite utilitarian, right?"
Mo Tan waved his hand and said very pertinently: "There is no such thing, after all, Brother Largo, you and us. The things on our shoulders are different, for 'Wang Wang' , everyone’s mood and preferences are the most important, so we hope that everyone can live in the most satisfactory way, but Brother Largo, you have too much to bear.”
“ Maybe.”
Largo said noncommittally, and raised a piece of dead grass from beside him into the wind. He smiled bitterly and said: "After all, if you want to find an excuse, anything can be an excuse."
"I admire the Highlanders very much, and I admire [Loya] and [Destruction King] even more, so I don't think that these can be used together at all." Brother Largo, you are just making excuses."
Mo Tan shook his head, and then smiled casually: "And even I can't help but want to be a team sometimes. You are among them Such an avant-garde is so good."
Largo suddenly couldn't help laughing, and said: "Don't you already have Mr. Jadeka Diesel's field, but mediocre people like me can't even dream of it? The unimaginable power, coupled with the strength of his knight lord, is simply a powerful force."
Mo Tan shrugged and said concisely: "But Lao Jia is a mage."
"Of course, I also know very well that the old man is a mage."
Although after a brief chat with Jadekar, he expressed complete incomprehension about his choice, Largo showed enough respect without hesitation. Nodding in agreement, he then touched his chin and muttered: "But Brother Mo, your proposal It’s really attractive. After all, compared to adventurers who have much more freedom, we in the mercenary business really have too many things to consider. Not to mention anything else, even the aspect of operational relations can make me happy. Chengsu can't sleep... Tsk, I'm a little excited."
It's clear that Largo will do anything. Mo Tan, who was tempted to join his adventurer team, immediately raised his hand to refuse, and said seriously: "No, even if you really want to come, I may not be sincerely inviting you. If nothing else, if you really mess with us, Even if others agree, Birger and his gang of young men will probably eat us alive. ”
"Hey, you don't have any courage at all. If you show more sincerity, brother, I might agree."
Largo shook his finger pretending to be unhappy, and then asked seriously Said: "Speaking of which, Brother Mo, what do you think of that kid Birger?"
"Bilger?"
Although I didn't spend much time with this young man before because of the [Inquisition and Debate], in view of the fact that Mo Tan has tended to prefer the role of 'Mo' in terms of game time these days , so I have become quite familiar with this young man who not only did not go out to hook up with girls from other tribes, but instead watched him get beaten in the arena all day long.
Largo nodded vigorously and asked seriously: "What do you think of him?"
"Very good."
Mo Tan did not hesitate. He gave an affirmative answer and then explained with the same serious attitude: "Although he is a little introverted, , but he has a flexible mind, is calm, and learns things quickly, especially when you use me as a target to teach him combat skills. Although he won't be able to master it after just one look, he can still learn it in a decent way, maybe. Because he is a bit precocious, and he has the strongest sense of responsibility among his peers.”
Largo showed a gratified smile without hesitation, and said happily: "I feel relieved to hear you say that. After all, I am Bilge's uncle, so even if I think the same as you, I will still worry about whether it will happen." Subconsciously add some personal emotions into it. "
"So..."
Mo Tan casually threw the berries that Yaya picked before into his mouth, while feeling the fragrance of jasmine mixed with the extremely sour taste, his expression He asked somewhat twistedly: "What do you plan to do?" Let Birger take over [The King of Destruction]? He is still just a child.”
“Do you like acid or don’t you know how strong this thing tastes?”
Lal. Ge watched with admiration as he ate two bunches of [green fruit] in one bite. Mo Tan smiled and said: "At his age, he is no longer considered a child among us highlanders, and if I remember correctly, Birger is not much younger than you, Brother Mo, right? So, you don't Is he also the age of a young boy? ”
Mo Tan put down the remaining berries with lingering fear, while secretly complaining in his heart about the "Exceptionally sweet (≧≦)" in the system notes of this thing! 】, and said happily: "I didn't say I'm not a young boy."
"Go, go, I've never seen a more down-to-earth young man than you. To be honest, if Bill That kid is half as reliable as you, I dare to kill [Destruction King] now 】Leave it to him, and then while you can still struggle, join your adventurer team and live a happy life for a few years."
Largo raised his hand and rubbed Mo Tan's messy hair even more. After saying a few words casually, he said seriously: "But...although Although I haven’t seriously decided to let Birger take over [Destruction King] as you said, I do intend to train him to be the successor. Of course, he is not the only one. You only saw him coming back with us to deliver food this time. Yes, there are actually a few good prospects in the group. ."
Mo Tan smiled and asked bluntly: "But Birger should be stronger, right?"
"Well... maybe, but you know, I am, after all. It’s Birger’s uncle.”
Largo spread his hands with clear pride in his voice: "And every child of [Noah] is very motivated, so the honor of being the leader of [Destruction King] is naturally what everyone wants to strive for. That is, if Bilger is just 'stronger' These words are not enough."
Mo Tan nodded and said jokingly: "He will blame you, right?"
"He has this freedom, provided he is willing to look at me. The difficulties brought to him by the regiment leader's uncle "
Largo shrugged nonchalantly and said leisurely: "If others work hard, he must work hard, otherwise he will not be able to take the position of captain. .”
Ink Tan smiled noncommittally, and asked after a brief pause: "But, Brother Largo, are you a bit concerned about starting to think about your successor so early..." "It's late, brother Mo, really not." It’s early.”
Largo tilted his head and glanced at Mo Tan, and suddenly laughed out of nowhere: "To be honest, I don't know why I confided in you, a little brother I just met, but didn't. With the guys in the group and the old friends I’ve known for many years We have talked about this in friendship, haha, maybe it’s the same as Peixi’s topic. Many things can only be said casually with people who are not so familiar and are very close to each other.”
Mo Tan did not accept this. In short, he just crossed his arms and made a gesture of listening.
“I am no longer young.”
Sure enough, after sighing, Largo slowed down his tone and said lightly in a tone that was not easy to hear the emotion. Said: "For us highlanders, not being young means that the countdown to death has begun."
Mo Tan sighed. Of course he still remembered the knowledge about the lifespan of the highlanders, and Largo's current age, as he said, would reach a stage of decline at any time in just a few years. ' stage, how long you can live at that time, whether it is one month or three years and five years, can only depend on destiny.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Perhaps because he also hates the feeling of being unable to control himself, Mo Tan is not able to interact with him to the maximum extent as he could when he is under the "absolutely neutral" personality. The other party felt the same, but still said this with deep understanding, even though he knew very well that his troubles might not be worth mentioning compared to Largo.
After all, there is always hope in life. Even if there is no hope, there is no need to enter death early and embrace everyone equally.
“Thank you.”
Largo just nodded calmly and continued: "To be honest, I consider myself a free and easy person. I even felt that I had the potential to be a conspirator at one time, even though it was just blindly trusting someone as a child. That era was unrealistic Real fantasy, but...it was not until these two years that I realized that I have never been an extraordinary person. On the contrary, I am much more afraid of death than I thought."
Mo Tan whispered. He took a breath and said seriously: "I think from a certain In this sense, I should be regarded as an extraordinary person, but I am also very afraid of death."
"Oh~"
I didn't expect that the other party would comfort me from this perspective. Largo blinked, then He touched his chin thoughtfully and said, "But I do think you have the potential to be a saint, a hero, a great man, etc."
"I think I have the potential to become many kinds of people. Potential.”
Mo Tan tapped his forehead and said in a subtle tone: "And I feel deeply troubled by this."
Largo laughed, and then stood up with his knees in hand, feeling that it was a little too cool. , but it was also fresh enough, and he took a deep breath in the evening breeze: "But People have to face reality, so after I reluctantly thought about it, I began to seriously consider training a successor."
Mo Tan also stood up and asked Largo: " Do you want me to take more care of Birger in the future?"
" In fact, I hope you will take more care of [The King of Destruction] in the future."
Largo shook his finger and said happily: "But if one day I am no longer here, no matter whether Birger becomes a person or not. As the leader of the group, he can serve as the [King of Destruction] and [Wang Wang] [Adventurer Team], don’t be in a hurry to say polite words, brother, I can see that there is no simple person among you, I am taking advantage of you, and I have to be right if you say something like this. Many people say that you just need to have a little idea.”
Seeing what Largo said was so simple and direct, Mo Tan naturally didn't want to continue to be polite, so he just nodded and said: "That's easy to say."
"Hey, am I a little too utilitarian?"
“Yes, but how many people in this world are not utilitarian?”
“That’s what I say… …”
“There is no conflict between like-minded people and courtesy. As long as both parties do not turn friendship into business, friendship will not turn into business. Brother Largo, my best friend often repays the favor by treating guests to dinner. My favor, if this is also utilitarian, we wouldn’t mind if the other party is more utilitarian.”
"You kid, are you really only in your twenties?"
"Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite."
"What is a family?"
"Everyone They all have their own unique difficulties.”
“Hey, this really comes to my heart. Come on, let me stretch my muscles. I can’t leave all the work to Yaya girl. .”
"No problem."
......
In this way, in the next half hour, Mo Tan, Ya Ya and Largo not only finished today's dinner, but even arranged the whole week's follow-up All the ingredients were ready, and when they returned to the ruins, the girls' group had already set up a tent and a temporary cooking table. Klaus also successfully set up a temporary observation point with the help of Birger and Jadeka. '.
After that, the two parties briefly exchanged information (be careful that the particularly sour berries/deer sauce almost exploded into deer sauce) and then began to prepare dinner.
During the period, in order to increase the fun, Gu Xiaole proposed that each person cook a dish, which won the support of most people.
During the dinner, Ji Xiaoge said that his and Mo's collaborative dish [Sour and Sour Rat Meat] had suffered a devastating failure and no one was allowed to eat it.
Half an hour later, the two Highlanders, who did not believe in evil, fell into a state of mild alcohol poisoning after eating a piece of rat meat. They fell asleep quickly after being cured by deer sauce.
After the meal, Peixi proposed to take a rest early and said that he would try to solve the first difficulty of this exploration before noon tomorrow, that is, 'the door that almost turned deer sauce into deer sauce', tentatively The official action time is tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock sharp.
Half an hour later, Mo Tan took the initiative to go offline after saying good night to Ji Xiaoge.
