All-Professional Master of Darkness - Chapter 389
c389 choose
That night, several bonfires were lit in the secret room. Taylor sat by the bonfire, surrounded by children with smiling faces. Pieces of soft white bread were handed from her hands to the children, and from time to time they laughed.
This was the first time they had eaten such good food in four years.
Beside the bonfire not far away, Lan Wu threw a piece of firewood into the fire, looked at the children who were eating voraciously, and smiled self-deprecatingly: “I’m not as good as you.”
Boya smiled embarrassedly and shook his head: “No, I’m not as good as you. I fought hard to save them. But you saved the entire New Tristram.”
“Without me, Akara and the others could do it.” Lan Wu turned around and laughed at himself: “I can’t save so many children under such circumstances. Well, if they were all adults, it would be okay.”
Boya and the others laughed, and their faces were more glorious. They were also very proud of their achievements. The Demon Fortress was completely destroyed by the demons, and everything was buried under the ruins. They have the right to be proud of being able to ensure the survival of these surviving children in such a situation of scarcity of supplies.
“Okay, it’s time to talk about business.” Lan Wu threw another piece of firewood into the campfire to make the fire burn more vigorously.
Upon hearing this, Boya and the others immediately put away their smiles and listened carefully. They have seen the magic of Lan Wu. Everyone got a power seed before dinner. Although they have not been able to fuse it yet, they have already noticed the extraordinary nature of the power seed.
“Now there are two choices.” Lan Wu raised his index finger and said solemnly: “One is that you stay and fuse the power seed first, complete the job transfer, and try to return to Kurast after gaining a certain self-protection ability. But I can’t guarantee that Varif and the Amazon tribe will still stay in Kurast Harbor at that time. The second is to leave immediately after I have thoroughly studied their teleportation array. But I can’t guarantee that all of you can return to Kurast Harbor safely by doing this.”
At this point, Lan Wu stopped and did not continue to speak, leaving the choice to Boya and others. After all, it involves more than 20 underage children. They have no self-protection ability. The teleportation array of the Zakarum Renaissance Society could not guarantee that they would be teleported to a safe place. It was very likely that they would appear directly in the secret nest of the Zakarum Renaissance Society.
He was certainly not afraid of being besieged by the Zakarum Renaissance Society. The strength level was there. The advantage of being proficient in all professions was that different skill combinations could be changed according to the actual situation, so as to win with fewer people. He did not believe that there were strong people in the Zakarum Renaissance Society who had mastered all the skills. That was unrealistic.
Boya and the others looked at each other and began to discuss. Lan Wu did not interrupt, but just listened to their arguments silently. Not long after, two people supported each of the two options, and it was a tie. Only Boya was still hesitant.
Lan Wu took in the expressions on everyone’s faces and understood. In fact, it was not surprising that there were disagreements. The first option was the safest. Having the ability to protect themselves before setting off again, not to mention guaranteeing that everyone could return to Kurast Harbor safely, at least more than 80% of the people could be saved. What’s more, there was Taylor who was about to give birth. With more pregnant women, the unknown dangers will increase by at least 30%.
The second option is relatively risky. But the most attractive benefit is that they can return to Kurast Harbor before Warriv takes away the survivors of the Amazon tribe, and then set off with the main force. In other words, the only danger is the journey before returning to Kurast Harbor, and then there are more than a thousand Amazon guards who have changed their jobs and become demon hunters, so they can basically rest assured.
Boya is indeed struggling with this problem. There is a dangerous twin sea between Kurast Harbor and New Tristram. No matter how he thinks about it, he doesn’t think that he can protect more than 20 children with just five people. Thinking about it this way, the second option is naturally the best choice. But he is also worried about how many children will die on the way before returning to Kurast Harbor. Lan Wu has already said that even he dare not guarantee where the teleportation array created by the Zakarum Renaissance Society leads to.
After thinking for a long time, Boya looked up at Lan Wu, trying to see some clues from the face of this God of Grace. Unfortunately, the latter kept his head down and poked the bonfire, as if he was not listening to their discussion. He had to retract his gaze and weigh it carefully.
Boya’s actions naturally did not escape Lan Wu, who pretended to be distracted. He knew what Boya was worried about, but it was necessary. He also had to find a way to go to Harrogath to find the surviving barbarians. Only by getting the Amazons and the barbarians can humans have decisive combat power. Relying only on those in New Tristram, it would probably take at least a whole generation to develop enough combat power to fight against Hell.
He couldn’t go with them, so the heavy responsibility had to fall on Boya. As the leader of a team, you must have enough courage and guts. Therefore, his answer was obvious. The best choice was to leave here as soon as possible and go to Kurast Harbor to try to catch the big ship of Warriv and his group.
Although the first choice was safe, it was only superficial. In fact, this choice even directly announced the death of these survivors. With just a few professionals, there is no way they can cross the Twin Seas, let alone escape the pursuit of the Zakarum Revival Society and the demons.
Those self-righteous guys will do anything to gain the trust of the demons. Obviously, they will not give up the early sacrifices for these survivors.
At this time, the other four people fixed their eyes on Boya. It was a tie of 2 to 2, and Boya’s vote became the key. The latter hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: “We have to leave as soon as possible.”
Lan Wu raised his head, with a relieved smile on his lips. He was satisfied with Boya’s final decision. After all, this competent father was not affected by the difficulties ahead.
The other four people had different expressions when they heard Boya’s decision. The two who supported the second choice smiled at each other. But the two who supported the first choice were unhappy. Is it really a good idea to take such a risk? But because Lan Wu was still beside them, the two did not say anything and suppressed the urge to argue.
Lan Wu is so smart. Seeing that no one said anything, he stood up and said with a smile: “I’ll go study the teleportation array and deal with the remaining guys. Give me an answer when I come back.”
After Lan Wu left, the two shouted at the same time: “We can’t protect so many people to reach Kurast Harbor safely with just the five of us.”
“We can’t protect so many people across the Twin Seas with the five of us. It’s nothing to take a risk.” The two who supported the second option also shouted at the same time.
“We can’t even deal with those guys ourselves, how can we protect so many people?”
“Even if we have gained stronger strength, their number is hundreds of times ours.”
“…”
The two sides argued more and more fiercely at this time, and the scared children gathered around Taylor. At this time, Silias couldn’t stand it anymore, and came over and said loudly: “There is nothing to argue about. This is a test.”
In the corridor outside the secret room, Lan Wu heard Silias’ voice inside, smiled with relief, and then turned and disappeared into the darkness. Lan Ya has sent back new news.
The remaining people of the Zakarum Revival Society have split.
