"So, what's your plan for telling me this?"
Hermes was very surprised. He thought that after he revealed his true feelings and revealed everything with emotion and reason, there would not necessarily be a good result. He had tried to think about Qin Hao's many reactions after hearing it. For example, anger, surprise, suspicion, rebuke, but to be as indifferent and calm as water is something he never expected. In his opinion, no matter it is good or bad, there will always be some reaction.
Only when you have a reaction can you be more targeted and respond in time. With Qin Hao's expressionless face and almost no fluctuations, Hermes felt unsure and didn't know how to speak for a moment.
Qin Hao frowned, and without waiting for a reply for a long time, he said: "What? Is it possible that you have been talking for a long time without any plan? I sympathize with your clan's experience, but you should not think that I will have a way to solve this problem. Isn’t that a problem? I don’t know anyone who has such ability? Besides, even if it’s possible, why should I help? To put it bluntly, the future fate of your clan has nothing to do with me?”
friend
Hermes and Qin Hao can barely be considered, but in fact they are not. The relationship between the two parties is not very deep. It can even be said that they have only met a few times in the past few years. Such a relationship is not that good, let alone It was impossible for Qin Hao to do his best to help them.
To say that it is barely possible, it makes sense. The two of them can get along with each other in all aspects of life and life. Otherwise, Qin Hao would not allow the other party to cheat and stay in the team. For example, if Apollo or Ares Qin Hao couldn't agree to this kind of stupidity even if he shook his fists.
Seeing Qin Hao's attitude, Hermes felt a lot more used to it, and said bravely: "There is really no other way, otherwise our clan's always low-key purpose would not choose to try our luck in various inheritance places. . To be honest, although there are many benefits to the inheritance place, and there are many precedents of monks benefiting from it, I have never felt that there is hope here. You know, the cultivation world thinks that our clan is a unique favorite of heaven. , in fact, I have always felt that we are abandoned existences. A long lifespan is indeed good, but this is not an immortal body. In addition, the cultivation talent is inferior to others and the long dormancy period to restore vitality. When the cultivation world is at its peak, On that day, our race will surely perish!”
Qin Hao curled his lips: "No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than ordinary people who live, grow old, get sick and die normally? What you are saying is too exaggerated."
"It's not an exaggeration at all! They are ordinary people who are troubled by life, old age, illness and death, but it is precisely because of this that they will not be involved in the spiritual world. What about us? There is an old saying in your Chinese country that people are in the world. Since our family exists in the world of spiritual practice, no matter how low-key we are, no matter how much we don’t occupy, fight, or grab spiritual resources, even if I can go back now and ask for the mountain to be closed for a hundred or a thousand years, what’s the point? We Can you really stay out of trouble? Can you really be on your own? Can you believe me, as long as I go back to seal the mountain, someone will attack me in less than ten years! What do you think the fate of our family will be then?"
The weak eat the strong!
No matter where you go, you can't escape these four words. In the animal world, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. In the world of ordinary people, those in power eat everything. In the world of spiritual practice, whoever has the biggest fist has to listen to whoever has it. This is the most real and cruel and unreasonable place in this world.
I thought Qin Hao would continue to ask, but unexpectedly he became silent. The atmosphere between the two parties became solid for a while, as if they were competing for patience. In the end, Hermes couldn't help it anymore and spoke. Pleading: "Qin, help me."
Qin Hao still didn't speak. What he wanted was an attitude. It might be possible to help, but it also depends on how to help. Also, this was Hermes, Zeus, and even the Mountains of Gods begging him, not his overflowing sympathy. The nature of doing meaningless things is different. As long as Qin Hao opens his mouth, the Gods Mountain owes Qin Hao a huge favor!
If Qin Hao can solve the other party's fundamental problem and preserve their clan, even if it means being a slave and humble, they will probably agree.
Of course, perhaps the latter sentence may be a bit exaggerated, after all, it is not really time to rush.
"Qin, I know this matter is very difficult. Even with your help, there may not be a good result. However, only you can reassure our clan when it comes to seeking foreign aid. After all, this is a matter of our clan. destiny… "
"why me?"
Qin Hao was very curious about this question from the beginning, but Hermes kept talking nonstop and was very excited, so he had no chance to speak.
You must know that what Hermes said is the fatal weakness of the entire God Mountain clan. As long as someone with a heart spreads the news, it will definitely bring disaster. However, the other party told him, it would be tantamount to destroying himself and even the clan. His life was placed in Qin Hao's hands.
Why would he be so trusted by the other party? When did their relationship get to the point where it could be like this
"It can only be you." Hermes covered his face, "You also know that our clan is too low-key, and there are only a few people who can truly be called friends. Most of them have left due to the times. And , To be honest, Lao Qin, when I first met you, I always felt that you would not be able to survive in this cruel world. You are the only person I have ever seen who values emotions more than interests. In this circle, you There are no such people, but you are the only one who has survived and is still living well. Although your behavior is funny and unreasonable, it is undeniable that you are a trustworthy person and you have your own principles. And the bottom line, when treating friends, they also attach great importance to affection.
People like me have lived for so long, what kind of people have I never seen? In this circle, no one dares to say that they have not had blood on their hands. Some things cannot be defended if one wants to. Even the stronger the power, The higher you climb, the more you give up on yourself, but you have this quality from beginning to end. I can be sure that even if you don't agree to my request, you won't spread what I said today. We need a foreign aid who is both strong and has a bottom line to help keep secrets, rather than giving up on himself at the slightest benefit. You are undoubtedly the most suitable. "
"Is this your personal idea, or does it represent Zeus or even the entire Mountain of Gods?"
Hermes smiled: "Without the approval of my cheap father, how could I reveal everything without any concealment?"
The corners of Qin Hao's lips raised slightly: "You don't think that if you just say a few random nice words, I will agree like a fool, do you?"
"Of course not. I'm not that naive. Although there is affection between us, it is related to the future destiny of our family. How can such a big thing only rely on a little affection." Hermes shook his head, " I also know that even we ourselves are unable to do anything. We are desperate and seek medical treatment everywhere to try our luck. Simply expecting you to solve the problem is nonsense. I just need allies. I know about you and the Knights of the Round Table. We can consider asking for help. Isn’t that development in this area? Although our clan will be a trouble in the future, at least for now, there are still a lot of benefits, right?”
Qin Hao smiled incredulously: "Then you should also know another layer of the relationship between me and the Knights of the Round Table. You know, after I disappeared incognito three years ago, I have been in a state of retirement, a hidden person. If those who quit are not forced to do so, who would want to step out into troubled waters? If one is not my woman and the other is my sister-in-law, how can I care about the life and death of the Knights of the Round Table?"
"Of course, we are friends. You trust me so much. If you value the relationship behind me, I can help you connect. But if it's just me, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
They all quit SK, and Qin Hao is almost in vain. The relationship behind it naturally refers to the Huaguo Cultivation Academy. This is also a relationship that is made public. Neither Qin Hao nor the official side has any hidden plans.
Hermes smiled sheepishly.
Qin Hao finally understood: "Oh, you still want to catch all the sacred mountains in one go?"
Hermes scratched his head: "Isn't there nothing we can do about it? The problems of our clan will definitely not be disclosed to each other. They are not trustworthy. To be realistic, when the day comes, they will not be able to do it again. If you treat us as an ally, you will either be annexed or abandoned. In the end, you are the only one who is truly trustworthy, and you are the only one who can be regarded as a helper. They can only be regarded as a transaction, an exchange of interests. In today's world In an increasingly competitive environment, we are just helping each other.”
As he spoke, he secretly leaned into Qin Hao's ear and whispered: "We all know very well what happened between you and the little princess of the Windsor family. People outside are now saying that you want to have two sisters. We all know I understand. Don’t worry, we don’t lack women in our family, right? Which of my sisters is not a beauty? In today’s terms, she looks like a goddess, and she is a true goddess. When I go back, I will be with Athena and Afo Rodite, Artemis and the others say hello, I'm sure it'll be fine. You don't know, since you came to the Mountain of the Gods last time, they have been thinking about you, and when I came out this time, they even asked me to see you. Current situation…”
"Hermes! You are seeking death again!!!" (To be continued)
