The Spirit World

Chapter 633: The Watcher's Talk
[No one is born without a stance]

"Where are we going..."

Erica watched Chang Yufeng put his clothes into the small box.

"Not sure, maybe to seek refuge?"

Chang Yufeng stood up the small box, weighed it, and felt it was not suitable. He squatted down, opened the box, and took out the clothes one by one.

"Evacuate... Where to evacuate..."

"Go wherever it's safe..."

Chang Yufeng himself frowned. Erica stood behind him, and his eyes caught something not so good. In this room, there were scattered blood in the scattered places.

"To save the princess?"

Erica asked, also looking at the bloodstains nearby.

"Where to rescue?"

"prison."

"How to save?"

"Sneak in!"

"Good idea. How do we implement it? You're going to take a non-magic No-Maj like me to a prison full of magicians and great swordsmen. Regardless of whether I can get in or not, I know for sure that I can't get out."

"I think so too..." Erica rejected her own proposal. She tilted her head and weighed the wand in her hand: "So, you want to find Duchess Victoria?"

"Have you thought of all this?" Chang Yufeng pouted and filled the small box with clothes again, leaving behind a few heavier pieces of clothing.

"Then where else can you go...what solutions can you think of?"

"There may be many ways to think of, but there are probably only a few that can be implemented..."

"There is such a serious storm in the city now... I believe that the Eagle Team in the city can't stop us at all... The two brothers Lionheart and End Tiger have taken their elite troops to [Flannotis]... Apart from dealing with some prison wardens, I don't think there is anyone powerful enough to catch us. Once we rescue Uncle Kraft, escaping from the prison will be as easy as walking through the main gate."

Erica spread her hands indifferently and said, "The premise is that we have no other way, but this is obviously impossible. Saving people openly and secretly are two completely different things. It would be great if the Qulong Sect could come to pick us up."

"But we are not the dragon-chasing faction. We are not the tiger-chasing faction either. Believe me, we cannot join these two factions. We are Kraft's nephews, not factional members."

There was a strong wind outside, but the people inside were eerily calm.

The light was very bright, so even though there were traces of blood nearby, it didn't seem that scary. To be honest, they didn't have much time to care about the blood in the room.

No matter how terrible other people’s affairs are, they are not as terrible as the knife on your own head.

"They won't let us get involved in this dispute. Seriously speaking, the attitude we should maintain is "towards our relatives and friends... that is, our uncles, we go to save them, but do not participate in factional wars."

"You mean neutral?"

"No, not neutral."

After Chang Yufeng finished speaking, he looked at Erica, who was a little confused.

Silent, not speaking.

"It's not easy to be neither neutral nor help Uncle Kraft."

"No, you're wrong. This is actually very simple. You just can't think about it."

When Erica saw that Chang Yufeng had a general idea of ​​the situation, but she herself was not quite sure, she kept staring at Chang Yufeng. Chang Yufeng looked confident, but his performance was so disturbing.

If I were to describe it, he kept staring at the clothes in his hands, indifferent and solemn. It was a very strange expression.

My brain was working so frantically that I never thought about this complicated problem.

If a neutral person remains neutral all the time, he will be oppressed by both sides, which is not a fun thing.

To put it bluntly, this is a quagmire. Once you step into it, there is no way out.

"What's the meaning."

"How did Duke Victoria do it?"

"what?"

"How did Duchess Victoria juggle both sides?"

"Hiss..." Erica held her waist, seeming to understand, and stood casually: "Are you saying that no matter what, we can't get around Madam Rose?"

"There's no way around it." Chang Yufeng tied up the small box and sighed slowly: "Ah, but it doesn't matter. We try not to come out to rescue people. Let Madam Rose come to rescue. This is the wisest choice."

"Does that have anything to do with us?"

"It doesn't matter. You are not obligated to save anyone. The current situation is just because our parents' relatives were killed, so we got involved. Therefore, we have to save people. Is this understandable?"

Chang Yufeng also stood up and twisted his waist, like a little kid who was already thinking about how to run away, feeling relaxed and funny.

The atmosphere was not right though.

"I agree with this idea..." Erica seemed to understand, breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up leisurely: "It's only because Uncle Kraft, who helped us, is in prison, and Elizabeth is also persecuted, that we went to save them. It's not because we are kind-hearted to save people."

"What you said is very important to us." Chang Yufeng suddenly became serious and looked at Erica seriously, which made Erica a little at a loss, because she felt that she might have said something wrong, but she was not sure.

"Because this is not an innocent game for us. We cannot make any wrong move. We must maintain the neutrality of our own identities and rescue these two. Not anyone else."

Chang Yufeng spoke his words slowly and clearly, making sure that every word could reach Erica's ears and let her hear clearly: "So, the art of speaking is very important to us. We are not here to rely on the Qulong Sect for fame and fortune, but for our elders and friends."

Elder, Uncle Kraft.

My friend, dear Elizabeth.

"This means that when others ask us why we want to do such a dangerous thing, we must not change our answer. Otherwise, we will lose our original intention of saving people and will be used by others. Because the people we want to save are the [Dragon-Curving Sect] who have an absolute stance. If we save them, many people will falsely classify us as members of the Dragon-Curving Sect, which is very dangerous for us. We cannot afford to step into this muddy water. And we should not step into it."

"If so, what does this have to do with Lady Rose?"

"Have you heard which side Lady Rose is on?"

"I've never heard of it. Madam Rose seems to always be in the middle, and seems to be wavering between the two sides. Neither side can do anything to her, so her strength has already scared everyone away."

"You want to know why?"

"why?"

"Because she is..."

Chang Yufeng looked at Erica in suspense, and Erica was also a little surprised.

"Because...she is..."

"God?" "How do you know?"

Now it was Chang Yufeng's turn to be surprised. He scratched his head, puzzled as to why Erica knew that Victoria was a god.

"I thought you were going to say something earth-shattering... This has already been spread on the girls' gossip website and I don't want to spread it anymore..."

Erica laughed like Chang Yufeng: "Hahaha, what's the big deal? Isn't this normal? I also heard that she is not only a god, but also the initiator of the bloodline war a thousand years ago. It was at that time that her duke status lasted for thousands of years, standing firm and unshakable."

"Ah... I also thought it was some shocking secret that kept me in mystery for so long..." Chang Yufeng put the small box into a small ring.

"Alice is the daughter of God, and she lives in the same dormitory with us... How could I not know that?" Erica spread her hands and smiled even more happily.

"Erica, one wrong step, all wrong."

Chang Yufeng no longer pretended to be serious, but relaxed a little and started walking towards the door.

Only these two siblings have lived in this empty room. The atmosphere of their down-to-earth life seemed to be destroyed overnight. The blood-stained towels they used fell on the floor tiles, the broken sofa they sat on was still lying downstairs, and the used dishes and chopsticks were also in tatters in the kitchen.

But this is also good...

Because here is...

The home of Pylos.

Uncle Pylos was sneezing somewhere in the distance, and that was probably the reason.

"Connecting the rhetoric I just used with what I am saying now, you should understand what I am saying."

Chang Yufeng looked at them, went to his room and closed the door gently.

They passed through room after room, unable to stop themselves from looking inside, and then quietly closing the doors.

"Are you afraid we'll get arrested?"

“No, we will not be arrested.”

"What does that mean..."

"I'm afraid that our behavior is not right and we have lost our original intention. Because if we save people, not only will we be thanked by the Dragon-Curving Sect, but we will also be haunted by the stigma or honor we will receive in the future."

Chang Yufeng went down the stairs and quietly looked at everything below, everything was in tatters... It was so heartbreaking... After all, this was the place where he had lived for so long...

For those who are homeless...even if everywhere is home, nowhere is home.

Once again, this house belongs to Pylos.

The two siblings have no assets to show for themselves.

The gold coins given by their parents have been almost spent, and their mother Aria's jewelry cannot be sold. One day, they will be troubled by money...

Or this trouble will come very soon...

Well, at that time, temptation does not come out of thin air, and it is definitely not so easy to eliminate and reject.

"If we rescue Kraft and Elizabeth, and the Dragon-Cursors come to thank us, we must unconditionally reject their offer and draw a line between ourselves and them, just like Uncle Pylos, who always stays neutral by being a pacifist. He will oppose whichever side is too arrogant or too ruthless, killing innocent people indiscriminately."

Chang Yufeng turned around to look at Erica. Erica stood quietly behind him and followed him downstairs.

“We have the same philosophy, but it’s a little different.”

"What's the difference?"

"We are not peaceful neutrals, we are not middlemen, we are bystanders. If you really want to give us a name, we are simply "watchers", just like a scarecrow watching over the fields. All we do is watch the crops grow. If birds want to eat the crops, we will drive them away. We will not fly up to shoot those birds. Sometimes we have no way to shoot those bad birds, we can only stare and watch..."

"Then what is the meaning of the scarecrow's existence..."

"Don't think about the meaning."

"why?"

"Because meaning doesn't mean anything."

"Your idea is very similar to...the immortal seekers in the empire...They are like scarecrows, not caring about worldly affairs, and wanting to cut off worldly ties. They only want to cultivate immortality and become gods, living freely and away from the world...[Watcher] may fit this experience..." Erica looked at Chang Yufeng's back and pointed out what Chang Yufeng meant by what he said.

This difference in thinking, which was not concealed but began to be exposed, became more and more serious.

"I have read many books about the Empire. If I were the Empire, I would not have to rely on my bloodline to become a magician, but instead use the sword and spiritual power to refine my physique. Then, perhaps I would not be a powerless No-Maj."

Chang Yufeng looked at the footprints on the wall.

"I rushed here from school, actually I want to tell you something..." Erica shrugged her shoulders, and swung her wand to create a wand flower behind Chang Yufeng.

The magic wand with a white light spot on the tip was spinning like a white halo.

"whats the matter?"

"Yesterday, my instructor told me that your research article on mechanics was noticed by an instructor who specializes in precision engineering. You have been admitted as an honorary magician by the Magicians Association and are enjoying the treatment of a magician."

"This news was told to me too late..."

Chang Yufeng turned around, but he was not happy. Looking at Erica's leisurely look, it was hard to tell that it was fake. The more serious Erica was, the more relaxed she looked. She was not the kind of person who was very pretentious. On the contrary, the more relaxed she felt, the more serious she became, which was the opposite of ordinary people.

"It's not too late. You've already been decorated, so the Flying Eagles can no longer arrest you."

"what?"

"The Ministry of Magic and the Eagles have always been non-interfering with each other... You know this, so when I heard that the Eagles were wanted on our behalf, I thought it was unlikely."

Erica collected her wand and put it back into her sleeve.

"We? You were awarded a medal as well?"

"Well, I borrowed my father's super-level magic to summon a giant water dragon and completed my research on water magic... and then... I was awarded a medal..."

"Wow……"

"Are you surprised? Now, we can say that we have a bright future. Do you still want to save people?"

Erica asked Chang Yufeng in return.

The awarding of honors to wizards by the Ministry of Magic is not a small matter, but a big event. Ordinary people receive knighthood, and wizards receive honors from the Ministry of Magic.

It is equivalent to a super jump in identity.

This is no joke, Ministry of Magic.

There is a saying that the Ministry of Magic is full of lunatics, and if you want to join the Ministry of Magic, you must be a lunatic.

Of course, there is another saying that the Ministry of Magic is the Ministry of Protecting its Own Children. As long as you are a member of the Ministry of Magic, there will be one who protects his own children.

Chang Yufeng has studied modern mathematics, physics and chemistry (
