Civilization Guardian Front

The fewer assets in hand, the lower the error tolerance rate.

Instead of waiting until the day when you have no choice but to throw everything at your fingertips, it is better to get out of the comfortable circle as soon as possible, and accumulate valuable experience as much as possible while there is still a chance to learn from failure.

This is actually a truth that most people can understand.

It's a pity that the bad nature of people runs counter to this.

Ryan is well aware of the mental state of most people at this time.

Leave the question for tomorrow...

This is also something that can't be helped, so many things happen suddenly, and I can't adjust my mood for a while...

It's okay, the rest of the money can last two or three weeks, it's no big deal to take a day off...

At least I didn't spend unnecessary money on equipment, not wasting it like someone...

Short-sighted and short-sighted, greedy for immediate comfort, knowing that the crisis exists but still choosing to turn a blind eye, complacent about the petty profits they have gained.

Then lie, cover up, escape...

It wasn't until the last moment, when there was no way out, that I felt regretful and tried to rely on my cleverness to solve the problems I was facing.

The girl's words were equivalent to tearing off those scales that blinded the truth and comforted herself, and spread the bloody reality before everyone's eyes.

But how many people does it work for?

Chios didn't expect much from this.

The reason why bad roots are bad roots is precisely because they are hard to shake. Even if you know it is wrong, you will continue to move forward on the wrong path.

Is the truth missing in the world...

No, there are never fewer people who tell the truth, but the real voice is too cruel to pierce the dream constructed by fantasy, so it is often ignored and hostile.

What people really need is the sugar-coated guidance of a good vision.

With a righteous name, even robbery and murder can become justified and become what everyone expects.

That's why Chios prefers to use soft lies.

For the manipulator, understanding human nature is only the first step.

More importantly, it is to use the shortcomings that people cannot easily change to achieve their own goals.

"Awaited!"

"Here's your ale, bread, vegetable soup, and aspic."

The proprietress who came out of the kitchen brought the drinks and dishes for the four of them, turned her head and hurried back to the back of the bar, took out an empty glass, and poured the cold wine kept in the cellar into it.

The waitress on the other side was also busy running back and forth.

Alcohol and food came to the table one after another, gradually restoring the scene to the lively scene not long ago.

What Ryan just said was like a stone thrown into the water.

Although it caused splashes and ripples for a short time, it left no trace in the end.

Silently watching the people in the hotel lobby, Chios picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the low-quality ale.

Then he frowned.

It really wasn't very tasty.

But it is wine after all.

The effect of making people drunk and dreaming of death still exists...

...

In the evening, Chios and Asuna returned to their room on the second floor of the inn.

sniff...

Lifting the collar, Asunaya's nose moved slightly.

It is much lighter than the musty smell emitted by the furniture in the room, but there is indeed a trace of sweat.

After a whole afternoon of basic Western swordsmanship training, even though it was mainly about adapting to standing postures and adjusting movements, it was inevitable that I would sweat a little.

The girl who valued grooming subconsciously looked at the wooden bathtub placed in the corner of the room.

Because the teacher had instructed the maid in the afternoon, the bathtub was already filled with water at this time.

Not hot water, of course, but better than nothing.

"teacher..."

"I'll wait outside."

Chios turned around tactfully.

At this time, there is no elegance at all to say that you want to stay, it will only attract girls' resentment.

"You won't go far?"

A girl's worried voice came from behind her.

"No, I'm right outside the door."

After speaking, the young man will open the door.

A hand gently grasped the corner of his clothes.

"Please...please stay here, teacher."

"..."

Chios turned his head and saw Asuna's expression as if he suspected that there was something wrong with the other party's brain.

"You don't have a fever, do you?"

"No..."

Just in case, the young man put his hand on the girl's forehead.

"It's true that you don't have a fever, so you are in heat?"

"certainly not!"

Asuna, ashamed and angry, punched Chios' chest, pointed to the wooden screen next to the bathtub, and pointed to the bed directly opposite.

"Teacher, please sit by the bed and don't peek."

whispering sound...

Chios twitched his lips.

"It's like how much I want to see an immature little girl like you. If that's the case, I won't say I want to go out."

Hearing the sense of superiority based on his rich experience faintly revealed in his words, an unknown fire rose in Asuna's heart.

"It's best if you don't want to watch it, then the teacher doesn't have to go out specially, just stay in the room and don't disturb other people's rest."

Asuna immediately regretted the words.

However, the water is hard to recover...

"Oh?"

Chios suddenly became interested.

"So you don't want me knocking on other people's doors, uh..."

Listening to his meaningful murmur, the girl's face was a little flustered.

tread...

Taking a step forward, Chios reached out and pressed the wall panel beside Asuna, who shrank back, and leaned over to her ear.

Parting the chestnut hair at the tip of the nose, the young man whispered:

"But how much of it comes from the kindness of not wanting your companions to be disturbed, and how much from your inner anxiety of losing "what"? "

"I don't..."

"And..." Chios' tone turned cold slightly:

"Which woman do I get close to, what does it have to do with you as a student, will you be too lenient?"

"Ugh..."

Every sentence hits the mark.

Asuna couldn't refute.

That's right.

She's just Chios' tutor.

Maybe some ambiguous things happened during the lecture, but it doesn't mean that she is qualified to make irresponsible remarks on Chios' emotional world.

As a mere student, she doesn't have any tenable position.

all caprice...

all the coquetry...

It was just a temporary privilege obtained with the tacit consent of the teacher, and it was not something she deserved at all.

She has always known.

But why, when the teacher said this fact calmly, his heart felt so painful...

"As long as you know."

Seeing Asuna realizing the fragility of her footing and trying not to let the tears flow, Chios' eyes flashed the evil light.

The existence of the truth is still meaningful.

At least, bursting the bubbles in other people's hearts will make the process more interesting.

"Go take a shower."

"I will listen to you this time and stay in the room."

Chapter 820 Three? Sleepless Night

Take off your boots and sit on the bed with your back against the pillow and the back of your head against the headboard.

wow...

The sound of water came from behind the screen.

In the corner of the room where there is only a two-inch thick wooden board blocking the line of sight, a naked girl is taking a bath.

Chios was indifferent to this.

He has already passed the age when he can't help but think about it just by listening to the sound of water or the sound of clothes falling... This is not accurate. It should be said that his growth process directly skipped the period of relying on imagination to make up for the shortcomings of reality. Move on to the next stage.

Anyway, not only wasn't he feeling a little squirming or his heart racing, he was even bored now.

Foreign objects that do not have a soul cannot be brought into the battlefield world, so equipment and materials including pipes, tobacco, divine wine, armor, camp tents, etc., are all stored in Tiandao Palace before departure. The only person who came here with him is Love Sword [Ragnarok].

A long night, but accompanied by no tobacco and alcohol...

It is a kind of torture at all.

Because of this, only primitive entanglement can bring some excitement, and people in the past would have a bunch of children.

The tavern does sell ale and cider, and you can buy two pints for 3 coppers, but the taste can only be said to be barely swallowable. Besides, he would have to drink a lot to get a little drunk, so forget it.

Until a woman lets go and says she wants a baby, all Chios can do to pass the time is to browse the heraldic light screen.

At this moment, he is looking at the new ability value panel after his split soul entered this world...
