Chapter 1122: Casting stones to ask for directions
Linton's words really made Wendy think. When she heard about destroying the world, her first reaction was of course not to do that, but was there a problem with Linton's words? Yes, Wendy is actually still young, so she doesn't really understand such complicated things, but that doesn't mean she can't listen or think.
"You...you can't do this!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side. Linton turned around and saw that the person speaking was Lucy who had come back to her senses. Yes, Lucy finally came to her senses at this time, and she began to believe what Linton said. After all, Linton destroyed two empty islands in the blink of an eye. With such exaggerated power, maybe he could really Destroy them.
Seeing Linton turning to look at her, Lucy here was obviously a little timid. Although the character of Lucy in this world is very strong, she really can't be strong in front of Linton. She is a little timid when she sees Linton's eyes. However, she immediately calmed down and said: "It is true that you are right. It was the king's army that launched an attack on your world first, but those were all the king's orders. It was the king who was wrong. And you want to destroy it." Fall out of this world. In this world, there are more people who have done nothing at all. They are all innocent!”
"Innocent?" Linton smiled, "In this world where magic cannot be produced, all magic is plundered from another world. People here enjoy all the conveniences brought by magic props, and the king here It is precisely because he can bring magic to everyone that he is respected and loved by everyone. However, when something goes wrong, he puts all the blame on the king alone. I feel unworthy of this king. . Have you heard the motto of our Mellow family? When there is an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent, even if it is just indulgence, everyone here is guilty."
"But..."
"But what? When they launched the attack, they didn't care whether the people over there were innocent or not. The entire town was sucked away by your king and used as batteries. Why didn't he ask whether these people were innocent? Now we have to distinguish between innocent and not innocent? Are our people easy to bully, or do you people inherently think that our people should be your batteries?" Linton said. .
"I...I didn't say that." Lucy said immediately.
"Is it important what you are talking about? The war launched by your king reflects the will of your country. Otherwise, do you think he, a little old man, can accomplish these things by himself? All his men believe in the king's will. Ideas can make the country more prosperous, so they support him and become his strength. And now that the war has begun, are you saying that they are innocent?" Linton said.
"Well...even though you said it so impassionedly, the main reason is that someone robbed your guild, right?" Garsain next to him couldn't help but interject. The main reason was that he saw that Lucy was about to cry after being yelled at by Linton, so he got into a chivalrous spirit and came to rescue her.
"That's right!" Linton nodded.
"Hey, let's cover it up a little bit," Garsain said.
"I covered it up, but you exposed it." Linton said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense, start taking action."
"Action? Don't we have to wait for Erza here to go back on her own?" Garsain asked.
"Oh, that's right." Linton nodded. It would take some time for Erza to go back, so it seemed she could only wait a little longer. Although Linton said that he wanted to destroy the world, to be precise, he should be targeting this kingdom. After all, the vast majority of people in this world are members of this kingdom. Other empty islands with no people, Linton Why did you blow it up? Watch the fireworks?
Just as he was hesitating about what to do now, Linton suddenly turned around and saw Gajeel. He thought about it and said, "Well, while I'm free now, I'll help the guild's handyman catch a cat first."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned. The main reason was that the contrast between before and after was really big. One second he was talking about destroying the world, and the next second he suddenly started catching cats. This I really can't keep up with the ideas.
"Didn't you say you wanted a cat?" Linton said, "Although he is a handyman, he is also a member of our guild, so there is nothing wrong with this small wish."
"So can you please stop stressing about doing odd jobs?" Gajeel couldn't help shouting.
"Okay, handyman, I understand, handyman." Linton nodded.
"I..." If he hadn't been unable to defeat him, Gajeel would have already been on top.
"Is this cat easy to catch?" Garsain asked, "It is considered a wild monster in this world? Do you know where it hangs out?"
"Not only is this cat not a wild monster in this world, it is also a god in this world in a sense." Linton said.
"What?" Everyone was stunned again, and then looked at Xia Lulu next to them in surprise, "God?"
"Xia Lulu is a god?" Wendy looked at Xia Lulu and asked.
"No... at least, I don't think so." Xia Lulu lowered her head and said.
"What's going on?" Garsain asked.
"In short, the humans in this world admire these cats very much." Linton said, "I remember it seems that it is because the boss of their cats can use prophecy or something like that. Anyway, he has the identity of a god. In short, these cats It should be easy to find, they are all gathered in one place, just go and choose one later.”
"This cat also has the ability to prophesy?" Garsain was really surprised. Prophecy is not an ordinary ability. No wonder they can assume the identity of gods. "Is it a real prophecy?" "How do I know." Linton Tanshou said, "Just ask them directly."
"Yes." Garsain nodded. To be honest, he didn't really believe it. Yes, there are similar people called prophets in the main world. Many great prophets have been recorded in history. However, the problem is that there are also many people who pretend to be prophets but actually eat and drink. What ultimately resulted was that the profession of prophet was turned into a mess by these industry bugs. When people today hear this, their first reaction is that they are liars, and Garsain had the same reaction. But this is not the original world after all. Maybe there really is a prophet here, and Garsain is a little curious.
"Then how do we get to the place where the cats gather you mentioned?" Garsain asked.
"This..." Linton hesitated.
"You haven't thought about this issue at all, right?" Gasein held up his forehead.
"Of course. Don't we have a cat here? Just let him take us there and that's it." Linton said suddenly.
"Huh?" Xia Lulu was stunned, "I...I don't remember. This is my first time back."
"Really?" Linton looked at Xia Lulu suspiciously, "I know about the first time you came back, but your cat seems to be able to receive information when it is an egg, and you should also communicate with the ones here from time to time. Cat contacted me, otherwise how did you get the task of capturing the Dragon Slayer?”
"I...that..." Xia Lulu seemed to be thinking about how to explain the problem, or how to quibble. Yes, it was also surprised that Linton could actually know these things. Linton was not a cat. How did he know about the things in their clan?
"It seems that you don't want to take us there." Linton said, "But I advise you to think about it carefully. You are taking us there to choose a pet for our handyman. After this pet is chosen, of course He followed us back directly, so this lucky guy is probably the only cat who can escape the disaster of world destruction. If you don't take us there, no one will be able to choose. Let's just finish the game and think about it carefully. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? ”
I have to say that what Linton said actually makes some sense. But Xia Lulu didn't think so. How could she save just one. Of course, Xia Lulu also thought of a problem at this time, that is, she must inform people in the clan about this matter. Yes, people in the clan don't know about this at all now. Erza is there to inform the kingdom, so who will inform them over there. What Xia Lulu wants now is to quickly notify the people in her clan to run away.
Thinking of this, Xia Lulu quickly organized and said to Linton: "Okay... I will take you there, but it is my first time to come to the specific location, so I don't know it very well. I have to find it first."
"Okay." Linton seemed to have no doubts at all and waved directly, "You go look for it first, and let us know when you find it."
"Then...I'll go first." It went unexpectedly well. Unexpectedly, Linton actually let him go find it by himself. Before, he wanted to promise Linton that he would find an opportunity to leave and inform him. Of course it would be better if I could act alone now.
Xia Lulu left quickly. Garsain looked at its back and said to Linton next to him: "This guy probably wants to inform his tribe."
"So the tactic of asking for directions by throwing stones is never out of date." Linton said, "The matter of finding the cat is probably stable, but it will take a while, but the situation is so urgent, I guess they won't delay."
"Then let's..."
"Oh..." Linton nodded, indeed everything was fine now. After thinking for a while, he looked at Lucy next to him, and suddenly said to Garsain, "Have you had breakfast?"
"No, didn't you drag me here when you woke up?" Gaseon said.
"Let's go and have breakfast." Linton said.
"Breakfast? Where to eat?" Garsain looked around.
"If you came here so quickly, it means that your Fairy Tail guild is nearby, right." Linton asked directly to Lucy next to him, "Erza over there is probably here from the beginning. We were searching for you nearby, that’s why we came so quickly.”
"Hmm..." Lucy thought for a while and nodded.
"Let's go and have a meal at your place." Linton said.
