About the brave man who became a thousand-year-old potato and ended up destroying the world

It's just that... the price is also very painful. This body has no sense of taste and smell, and I can't leave this land. In fact, I have even lost the magic power to use arcane magic. I am usually bored, so I can only toss around with some magic dolls, anyway. As long as there is an energy core, the golem can be created without magic power. "

"You..." Liu Ji swallowed, "You have stayed here alone for thousands of years for the sake of this world?"

"Yes, after all, this was her wish," Mass sighed, "Unfortunately, this world is still half destroyed, but I can't do anything about it..."

"Half of the world was destroyed?" Liu Ji was stunned. This was the first time he heard about this because he didn't understand the language.

"Well, it was the same person who destroyed this city. With just one blow, the area was razed to the ground. I think the reason why you turned into a potato a few days ago was because of the residual effect of the blessing you had received. You instinctively turned into a potato to avoid him." Mass looked at Liu Ji, "Your companions call him 'tyrant', and the reason why they want to cross this desert from one side of the world to the other is Side, because the world on that side has been almost destroyed by that guy."

"This..." Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then recalling the sadness and sorrow that showed on the faces of Ya Yin and others from time to time, he suddenly understood the meaning behind it.

"Just in time, after telling my story, it's time to talk about your future," Miss said, looking at Liu Ji, "I want to ask you, are you willing to save this world and fight against the man who even wants to kill me?" A tyrant who has no choice but to single-handedly destroy half the world?"

"Ah?" Liu Ji blinked, "Me? No, right? And didn't you say I had retired..."

"Yeah, you're retired, so you don't have such a responsibility," said Mass. "No, even if you haven't retired, you still don't have such a responsibility. That damn magic forcibly pulled you into this world is not the right thing to do." To be fair, no one has the right to force you to take any responsibility..."

"Well," Liu Ji swallowed, "I guess you want to say 'but'..."

"No, before I say 'but', I can give you another choice," said Mass. "If you stay here, you can live a stable life. For the tyrant, this is a tasteless wasteland. , as long as the red moon remains, he will not let his people set foot here. For you, a retired warrior, unless you plan to be a potato for thousands of years, otherwise, this is probably the only place in the world that can be considered safe."

Liu Ji opened his eyes wide in surprise.

He did not expect that such a plan would be proposed during the mass.

In other words, except here, the whole world is not safe now?

When he heard the mass saying about that tyrant who destroyed half the world, he thought it was an exaggeration. But based on what he heard, it seemed that was not what he meant...

"I understand that it is difficult to make such a decision suddenly, very difficult," Miss sighed softly, "After all, when I came to a new world, if it were me, I would also want to look around, and... although you get along well, It hasn’t been long, but you seem to like your companions quite a lot, especially the little half-demon girl?”

"Ah, well, yes, after all, they are quite nice people," Liu Ji touched his nose, "You also said that it is not easy to meet someone who is willing to teach me spells seriously..."

"Yes... it's a pity that if you have no intention of confronting the tyrants, you'd better be prepared to distance yourself from them," Mass sighed, "Each of them, perhaps, everyone in the world over there, They are poor people who were harmed by tyrants who destroyed their country and family. When they talk about tyrants, the hatred behind their fear is exactly the same as those of my people who have survived...

Especially that little half-demon girl, I seem to see my former self in her. I can't keep them, but once they leave here, there are only two endings waiting for them..."

As he spoke, he turned around, looked directly into Liu Ji's eyes with a serious expression and said, "Either they will die under the tyrant or his minions before they grow up, or they will one day... They will confront the tyrants head-on, and if you want to join them, you must be mentally prepared for the same."

Liu Ji watched the mass and swallowed hard.

Too much information poured into his mind at the same time, and the decisions he had to make were even related to his entire future life, causing his brain to be overloaded.

Miss patted his shoulder and said softly: "You still have time to think about it. I can't use magic now. In order to rebuild the city, I still need them to stay and help me. But, after this period of time, I Think, maybe you have to make your own decision.”

After that, he took steps towards the steps leading to the underground.

Liu Ji stared at his back for a while, then turned his head and looked at the ruined city behind him.

"Ha... One hit destroyed a city. Is this a human-shaped atomic bomb..." Liu Ji felt his head hurt a little.

Perhaps, as the mass said, it would be more suitable for him to live out his days here rather than fighting this kind of monster.

In this way, he becomes more like a retired warrior...

but.

He turned around and looked at the steps leading underground.

There, there was a group of friends whom he had just met.

Perhaps, his relationship with them is not deep yet. If he is asked to risk his life to fight for them, to be honest, he is not willing.

However, when I think about one day in the future, they may all be brutally killed with unwillingness on their faces...

Liu Ji swallowed and recalled that day, when the scout's machete struck Ya Yin.

If, he meant if, he didn't take action, and Yayin didn't leave any backup, the scimitar just cut through her neck like that...

He tried to imagine it, imagining the scimitar slashing across it, blood spurting out of Yain's neck, and the desperate head rolling in front of him...

He took a deep breath, and then loudly stopped the mass he was about to go to underground.

"Mr. Mass," he asked loudly, "can I really change anything if I join them?"

The mass stopped, turned to look at him, smiled softly, and said: "No, I didn't say that, but... there is one thing I have a say in,

If you make a decision that you regret in the future, endless life will only become endless torture. "

After that, he opened the floor cover and walked down the stairs to the underground.

Liu Ji stood there blankly, looking at the vast desert, his eyes full of confusion.

46. ​​When you encounter difficulties, take a nap

The next day, just as Mass and Liu Ji said, at his request, everyone started to help him repair the city.

After all, after all, Mass took in everyone in the desert, protected everyone when the tyrant came, and showed everyone the way to go. Even if it was just from the perspective of courtesy, it was impossible for everyone to refuse his request.

Liu Ji, who was unable to help, was sitting on the edge thinking about his own problems.

But no matter what he thought, he could never come to a reliable conclusion.

save the world?

Who is he? We are just a potato and have no abilities. Why should we save the world?

Living with this?

Come on, he has been a potato for more than 1000 years. He finally found a different life and met a good companion. Now he has to go back to being a potato...

Ugh……

He would be happy to come back from time to time to accompany the Mass. After all, it would be quite lonely for him to live here alone, but he would really not be happy if he were left to stay here and depend on the Mass. That life would be too boring...

Kill the tyrant?

Come on, the opponent is a humanoid atomic bomb. Even Mass can't kill him. If we talk about relying on magic, he has just started to use spells. If we talk about relying on physical skills, he has not even fought twice.

Be sure to count on...

Is there some ancient divine dragon pork belly that I can give him? That might be a bit hopeful.

Holding his chin, Liu Ji sighed heavily.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt and the less he knew what to do.

He thought too much, and even got a little angry, thinking that it was all the fault of that unlucky tyrant who put him in a dilemma, so he just wanted to live a good life and look around at the world.

There is one person who can disturb the peace of a whole world.

From this perspective, Liu Ji really wanted to do it to Ya.

It's a pity that I can't do it.

I am so sad.

"Alas," Liu Ji sighed, propped up his chin, and looked at the people who were helping to rebuild the city.

Yayin was the main force in the construction, constantly chanting spells to create stone walls and square stone bricks.

Callidora was an assistant, helping to lay the road and modify the construction details according to the instructions of the mass.

Mowente is helping to make some objects. He is proficient in carpentry and also has certain masonry skills.

Ossa and Jilunini were responsible for selling their strength, talking and laughing while moving an exaggerated number of stone bricks.

If you just look at it this way, who would have thought that everyone here probably has a past where family members were destroyed...

Moreover, compared with Liu Ji, their situation is much worse.

The Mass once said that if you live in regret, your endless life will be just torture.

At that time, Liu Ji only felt that the mass was urging him to leave.

But afterwards he felt something was wrong. If Mass really wanted to drive him to save the world, he shouldn't have told himself before that he had a second option.

After careful consideration, he discovered that the word mass had two meanings.

The first level is indeed encouraging him to leave, because if he stays here and receives news of the death of these people one day in the future, he may regret his original decision.

As for the second level, it is persuading him to stay. As long as this sentence is reversed, whether he can forget these companions who have not been with him for a short time, or convince himself that it is useless to leave with them, in short , as long as he does not regret today's decision, he can gain endless life.

At least Liu Ji does have a choice.

And these poor people who have lost their country and their family, do they have any choice?

Yes, there are people in this world who are willing to compromise on everything in order to save their lives.

But obviously, those who are willing to risk their lives and step into this desert to pursue hope cannot be such people.

If they survive here for the rest of their lives, I am afraid that the rest of their lives will be full of torture as the mass said.

The only way left for them is to keep moving forward.

Liu Ji suddenly thought that if he had no choice like them, he might not have to worry.

"Ugh……"

Liu Ji sighed leisurely, scratched his hair, turned and walked underground.

As the saying goes, when you encounter difficulties, take a good nap.

He might as well squat in the soil for a while, maybe the inspiration would come to him on his own.

----

On the other side of the desert.

Under the chaotic swamp, a city in darkness lies here.

This "city in the dark" is not a metaphor, but the city is really dark. There are no street lights, and there is no light in every house. The only source of light is the neatly arranged lights on both sides of the road. , an unknown ore that emits faint fluorescence.

Perhaps this small ore, which cannot even illuminate ten centimeters around it, can be regarded as a street lamp in this city.

On the streets, there were many pedestrians with leisurely expressions coming and going.

These people have small eyes, small ears, long nasal cavities, and a somewhat stooped figure. There are thick cuticles on the front of each finger. Occasionally, when they see acquaintances greeting each other, they will always say hello first. Touch each other's noses and say a few words.

Among this group of strange people, there were three people who were even more incompatible with them.

One is a tall female knight covered in mithril armor and carrying a shield and sword.

One was a female archer with cat ears, who had been holding the female knight's arm and huddled behind her, carrying a long bow.

One was a Miffy man who was carrying a huge book about the same size as himself, but was only about one meter tall.

At this time, he was looking around as he walked, his eyes stopping at the small ores on both sides of the road from time to time, always feeling like he wanted to pick a few pieces off.

"Snow, although I know you like these things, no matter what, we won't pick on other people's street lights," the female knight glanced at Miffy, whose head only reached her waist, and reminded, "If you want , we can find a store to buy some later."

"Ah? What are you talking about? Am I that incompetent?" Miffy, known as Snow, glanced at the female knight with disdain. "I was just thinking that the ore here is not arranged well. Both sides are not good." It's symmetrical. If you adjust the position, I feel like you can save a lot of money."

"So you don't want to pick at it..." The corner of the female knight's mouth twitched.

"Okay, don't bury me and get down to business," Snow said, "As usual, grab a free guide."

"Again, you're grabbing free ones again?" the female archer on the side asked timidly, "Can't we find a professional?"

"Ah? Why do you have to spend money when you can have sex for free?" Snow looked at the female archer with disdain, "So I said you don't know how to be diligent and thrifty."

"Well, and professional guides may also trick us into spending money, but free ones are sincere," the female knight said, closing her eyes.

After standing like this with her eyes closed for a while, when she opened her eyes again, she looked to the right of the road.

"Did you find the unlucky guy?" Snow asked.

"Well, standard unlucky guy," the female knight nodded, "Let's go, we have to hurry up, otherwise this guy will be beaten to death."

47.Brother, there are some good things, but they are a little uneven?

Underground in the desert, Liu Ji was burying himself in a field, half of his body exposed and in a daze.

"Hey, what kind of unique look do you have?" Miss squatted in front of Liu Ji.

"I've been hiding potatoes for a long time. It's easier to get inspiration by staying in the soil," Liu Ji murmured. "But I'm afraid that I might accidentally turn into a potato and I don't know how long it has been, so I just bury it like this." At once."

"It seems like you really want to go out with them," said Miss with a wry smile. "Actually, personally, I really hope you can stay. After all, staying here alone is a bit boring. "

"Then..." Liu Ji opened his mouth, sighed softly, and said, "It's not impossible."

"No, it's better to say goodbye. You obviously can't stay in this state," Mass shrugged, "But what I find strange is that you haven't been with them for a long time. Are you so reluctant to let go?"
