The lawful gods may be willful occasionally, but they are unambiguous on major issues.
For example, in the ancient heroic stories, the fairies made some excessive demands on the heroes, and would not allow the heroes to continue to increase their strength if they failed to fulfill them, which made the heroes busy and caused them to make some jokes.
But if a monster happens to come at this time, the fairies will basically not be vague and will not care about what they said before, but will directly transfer the power that the hero can withstand to the hero.
In nearly half of the heroic stories, there are some common-sense minor frictions between the early fairies and human heroes.
The rest of the friction will have to wait until the second half. For example, after the favorability is high, the hero will be advised to escape quickly, not to go to the dungeon to solve the source of the beast tide, and to find a city that will not be threatened by the beast tide for the time being to hide in hiding.
But no matter how you put it, the relationship between the hero and the fairy is indeed a bit like keeping a mistress.
The immortals are the active party, while the heroes are the passive party.
That is why when Su Qing appeared, Ai Si actually had similar thoughts in her mind.
...Please support me.
In order to become stronger, I have to pay a price, just like the ancient heroes did to the immortals, and try my best to meet your requirements.
But this idea is just a thought. A decision of this level obviously cannot be easily implemented into actual action.
But last night's incident...
Ais bit her lip. What kind of 'tonic' did Livilia give her?
She admitted that it was indeed she who made the decision last night, and she still remembered what she was thinking at the time.
At that time, she didn't think there was any need to hesitate about this matter, so she just went all in.
She regards killing monsters as her lifelong pursuit. Along with this goal, the two reasons that support her in persisting in this goal are her hatred for monsters and her responsibility to protect ordinary people.
These are her most fundamental reasons that support her desire to become stronger.
As long as these remain unchanged, she will not hesitate to sell her soul in exchange for power. Instead, she will want to ask what her soul is worth.
That being said, whether one can make such a decisive decision is another matter.
Ais...at least she has some awareness of being a woman.
Supporting someone, giving everything away, etc., these are obviously not words that can be spoken casually.
Besides, she had one more thing to consider.
...Do you deserve it?
For Ais, the strong people from another world are already opportunities for her to become stronger quickly. She is worried that if she asks for too much, it will offend the other party and cut off the chance to become stronger.
Until yesterday, she was still at the stage of questioning whether Su Qing hated her. Otherwise, why was she the only one in the entire clan who was sent on a special mission and had the opportunity to be guided and become stronger?
According to common sense - Ais's common sense, it is her father, those ancient heroes, and her fellow adventurers.
Leaving aside his companions, all of Loki's family members are single.
But the ancient heroes... who didn't have three wives and four concubines?
It is true that fairies are dominant between heroes and fairies, but not all partners of heroes and fairies are of the opposite sex, and even if they are partners of the opposite sex, not all of them can fall in love with each other.
Moreover, if the fairy's request is too harsh, it's not like the hero can't just give up. The fairy can at most threaten the hero by not continuing to grant power.
If the demands on heroes are too harsh and they cannot satisfy their own desires, then life would be meaningless. Who would still risk their lives?
Being in a high position and having many wives and concubines is the norm for ancient heroes. If there is no attachment to the world, why would they fight with monsters? To prove that they are stronger than monsters?
At least in Aisi's eyes, when it comes to matters between men and women, the strong either don't want to, or if they do...
She really didn't think that her situation could qualify her for the queue.
Ais admitted that because of her excellent fairy bloodline, her strength and appearance were among the best in Orario and she was very popular.
But if you count the gods...that's another matter.
How could it be possible that a powerful person who can travel across the world and is stronger than gods would rarely encounter beautiful women?
When Su Qing first appeared, Ai Si did think about paying the maximum price to gain power, but it was only a fleeting thought.
...What decent price can she offer?
But last night's 'tonic' made her speak her mind without any hesitation.
But it still succeeds...
Ais sighed.
She was actually not dissatisfied with this result.
The more determined and ambitious your ambitions are, the more likely you are to overlook other things.
What Ais values most include her family members, her hatred for monsters, and her pursuit of order, so that ordinary people won't lose their parents to monsters like she did.
But not herself.
They have become a little closer to each other, so at least the other party will take better care of her, right?
but……
Aisi's face was full of confusion.
In the end, she didn't regret it, but...that was all she regretted.
How should we deal with this matter at hand?
Chapter 82
The residence of the Loki clan is very large, and Su Qing is taking a walk in the garden.
Sometimes, Su Qing really envied those system-type protagonists.
In particular, it has its own system space, where you can put your girlfriend, and no enemy can pose a threat to her.
Or a system that helps the protagonist freeze the current world time after leaving the world.
It’s as if the protagonist has no worries other than the events encountered in the original work.
The worst case scenario is that the protagonist causes trouble all over the world and the heroine has no protection at all, but every time the heroine is in danger, the protagonist can arrive in time.
Even if it's half an hour at night, even if it's ten minutes at night, it will become a plot that cannot be broadcast.
Even more strange is that even if it is a simulator-type protagonist, or can subjectively reset time, in the simulation, the protagonist dies and escapes in various ways, and the heroine is killed or injured in various ways...
But there were only casualties.
There must be many simulated routes for the villain to defeat the hero and the heroine, but after the villain defeats the heroine, each of them is ungentlemanly. At most, they will wipe out the heroine completely, but they will not have any lustful thoughts.
——Obviously, the reason why some villains offend the protagonist is because of the heroine.
These attributes unique to the protagonist... Su Qing was not sure whether he had them, but he did not dare to count on them.
Thinking of Ai Si, Su Qing sighed inwardly.
First of all, he and Ai Si could not be the kind of true love that lasts until death, and both of them knew this.
But after all, it was a relationship in which a relationship took place.
Adequate protective measures must be taken. If possible, Su Qing doesn't want to take Aisi to the box garden at all. It is safest to keep her in the underground world.
But Aisi's goal was to become stronger, so she obviously couldn't accept this result. Even if Su Qing left her other ways to become stronger, she would definitely still feel uncomfortable.
Everyone else went to the small garden, but she was the only one left in this world?
Even if we take a step back...what would happen to him if a woman with whom he had had a relationship was caught by other forces in the box?
Pay a certain price to rescue?
Su Qing felt that she could.
Obey the enemy's demands and surrender?
That's unlikely.
A compromise is that if the other party prepares a trap, but uses his woman as a threat, let him jump into it...
Su Qing felt that the reason why he jumped in was definitely not because he cared too much about his woman, but because he believed that the other party's trap would not be difficult for him, but would instead be an opportunity for him to fight back.
If there was really no hope at all, a situation where one would die as soon as they entered, Su Qing didn't think he would be threatened at all.
When it comes to actual operation, there are many factors to consider, and it is far from as simple as Su Qing said. There are a lot of weirdos in the box garden, and sometimes many things are stuck at the boundaries.
Someone kidnapped your family and friends and asked you to commit suicide. After hanging out in the sandbox for a long time, almost no one would fall for it.
Even if one is asked to tie up one's own hands and feet and seal one's own spiritual power, it won't work.
But what about asking to amputate one of your hands?
The people who kidnapped your relatives and friends are the ones you can win against without even a single hand. They are signing a notarized contract with you... You can't just use the excuse that 'if this goes on, someone else will kidnap my relatives and friends to threaten me' and ignore the life and death of your relatives and friends and flatly refuse to exchange opinions, right?
It's no use if you remain indifferent. If your enemy is really yours and doesn't have the ability to take revenge on you, then even if you act like you are unwilling to sacrifice a hand for your relatives and friends, the other party will still attack your relatives and friends, just as if they are collecting some interest.
The reason to prevent the enemy from attacking people around you is definitely not that you act like you don't care, but that you protect them very closely and the enemy cannot find a chance to attack.
Theoretically speaking, even if Su Qing's identity was exposed, and the relationship between him and Ai Si was exposed, Ai Si, as his weakness, would attract some firepower for him...
That is indeed Su Qing's weakness, but weakness... is something that can only be useful after other forces have thoroughly understood Su Qing's character.
The enemy seized on this weakness. Su Qing himself was not clear about what demands Su Qing would compromise on and what demands Su Qing would not compromise on.
Su Qing shook his head slightly, thinking that he would talk to Aisming about this later. She took the initiative to suggest that it would be best to stay in the underground world, which was safe and secure.
But Su Qing estimated that it was unlikely.
After arriving at the small garden... Su Qing's current identity has not been exposed anyway.
Whether it's Yawei's place or Bai Ye's place, it's very safe. With some protective grace given, there's no need to worry about Aisi's safety.
When the identity is exposed, if it is not exposed too suddenly, Su Qing will be able to use that as an opportunity to transfer some of the more important people out of the box.
Overall, as long as the protective measures are well implemented, there is no need to worry too much.
It is not absolutely safe, but there is a high probability that nothing will go wrong. It has a certain impact on him, but it doesn't seem that big.
and……
