Zongman: Reincarnation in the Other World, but Goblin

The essence of this contrast between high and low is actually the back and forth tug of war between emotions.

It's like a spring that is originally a bit stiff. No matter how hard you pull it or squeeze it, after all your efforts, the amplitude of its fluctuation may be far less than if you first compress it lightly and then pull it outwards.

Under the influence of the outside world, Frost Dance's tense spirit is actually equivalent to a stiff spring, so neither delicious food nor various small objects can touch her heart hidden under the thick ice.

What Lorraine needs to do is to provoke Frost Dance's emotions as much as possible, so that he can take advantage of the fluctuations in Frost Dance's emotions to open her tightly closed heart a little.

This little trick to enhance ambiguity was actually very common in Lorraine's previous life, but for the people in this world, the effect was even better than Lorraine expected.

Looking at the bouquet of flowers that had helped her regain her faith when she most wanted to give up, and then looking at Lorraine's warm smile hidden behind the bouquet, Frost Dance, who was originally a little irritated, calmed down again at this moment, just like when she was upset in the past, she liked to walk alone in the depths of the forest.

However, this time, Frost Dance suddenly discovered that she, who was supposed to be walking alone, had a hazy shadow quietly appearing beside her.

Upon closer inspection, he actually looked very similar to Lorraine.

She took a deep look at Lorraine, whose face still had a hint of expectation and smile, and gently sniffed the fragrance that seemed to bring her back to the deep forest. For a moment, even though she was in the busy and noisy snack street, and even though there were still many curious or inquiring eyes looking at her, Frost Dance could feel that the restlessness and boredom in her heart had disappeared completely.

And when her heart was at peace again, all the things that seemed to have been blocked and ignored by her just now once again lingered around Frost Dance.

That little thing over there seemed to be something new, she seemed to have never seen it before...

The food baked at this stall smells so good, she actually has the urge to try it...

At this moment, Frost Dance seemed to be stepping back into this street that she had never been to before. She looked at everything around her with eyes full of curiosity.

However, thinking about her indifference to Lorraine's attempts to please her just now, Frost Dance wanted to cover her face.

She knew that Lorraine had good intentions and had picked a good place in her spare time so that she could take her out to relax and unwind.

But what did she just do?

Thinking of this, Frost Dance felt even more guilty towards Lorraine, who looked calm and composed as if nothing had happened.

She held tightly the bouquet of flowers that Lorraine had given her, looked at Lorraine who was smiling across from her, and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Lorraine, who had always focused most of his attention on Frost Dance, naturally noticed the changes in her mentality and expression.

Originally, he had racked his brains to prepare several little tricks that were used by men and women in his previous life to enhance feelings and create an ambiguous atmosphere between dates, but now it seems that they are no longer useful.

Moreover, looking deep into Frost Dance's eyes, there seems to be a trace of guilt towards herself?

As if he had noticed the subtle changes in Frost Dance's heart, Lorraine smiled secretly in his heart.

However, on the surface, he still maintained a calm appearance, and even didn't care about Shuangwu's slightly embarrassed expression. Lorraine knew that some feelings needed time to slowly brew, and he was willing to give enough patience.

After seeing Frost Dance take the bouquet, Lorraine took out the cute wooden devil from behind him as if performing magic.

He placed it gently in the center of the bouquet, just like a little devil surrounded by beautiful flowers. Shuangwu was slightly startled, and looking at this unique arrangement, she couldn't help but smile.

Luo Lin was delighted, but he didn't show it. He looked at Shuangwu tenderly, as if every little fluctuation of her emotions could bring him endless joy.

After doing all this, Lorraine turned around and pointed to a snack stand not far away. That was the stall that Frost Dance had shown interest in after taking a quick look around.

He whispered, "Let's go try that, it looks delicious."

Frost Dance looked in the direction he pointed, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

She nodded and followed Lorraine to the snack stand. The stall owner was an enthusiastic middle-aged man. When he saw the guests coming, he immediately smiled brightly and greeted them warmly: "Come and try our special snacks, you will definitely be satisfied!"

Hearing Luo Lin's warm words, Shuang Wu said "hmm" softly, and then stopped talking. However, she did not take the opportunity to break free from Luo Lin's hot hand that had been quietly held. Feeling the warmth from that big palm, just like the burning breath that was wandering around her body a few days ago, Shuang Wu's body suddenly stiffened, and then slowly relaxed, trying to behave as usual.

However, the discomfort that quietly rose from the bottom of her heart was not as easy to dissipate as she thought. Lorraine gently pulled her slender and small hand and took her to squeeze in front of the snack stand that was obviously very popular. His voice was clear and energetic: "Boss, give me two baked potatoes, one light without chili, and one with more spicy!"

The stall owner was busy with his work. When he heard the voice, he raised his head and saw the couple who seemed to be in love. He couldn't help but feel happy. The sun seemed to be particularly bright today. He said "OK" in a full voice and continued to work with his head down.

The diners who were originally quietly waiting for the food were also attracted by this warm scene. Everyone's face was filled with smiles, as if the happiness of the couple infected everyone.

Although Shuangwu tried her best to remain calm, she could not completely conceal the subtle fluctuations in her heart. Lorraine sensed her subtle changes and held her hand more gently, as if to convey more warmth and care through this simple contact.

"Don't worry, there's nothing to worry about." Lorraine whispered to Frost Dance, his voice still as gentle as the spring breeze.

Frost Dance glanced at Lorraine, and the discomfort in her heart eased a little.

She nodded slightly, trying to relax herself and enjoy this moment of peace and warmth.

………………

Chapter 269: Make a plan! Destroy the dragon hunting crossbow!

Just like that, after strolling around this snack street like a young couple, Shuangwu and they both returned to the hotel.

However, because the next day was the day when the dragon hunting crossbow would officially begin to be assembled and built, Lorraine finally chose not to take the opportunity to do anything.

Firstly, he really needed to conduct an on-site inspection to see with his own eyes what kind of tricks this so-called dragon-hunting crossbow contained, so that Lorraine could more clearly formulate the plan he should implement next.

Secondly, for someone with Frost Dance's personality, he must not be greedy for momentary pleasure and be impatient. He needs to simmer over low heat and take it step by step.

Once he had completely conquered it, the deliciousness that would bloom just for him would definitely be worth Lorraine's wait.

Another thing is that Lorraine could also guess that although Frost Dancer had tacitly allowed him to hold her hand during the previous play, this was obviously approaching her limit, and Lorraine still needed to give her more time to adapt and adjust mentally.

Early the next morning, Lorraine, who was ready to go, took Frost Dance and followed the curious crowd into the forging site of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow.

Although Lorraine did not believe from the beginning that the Dragon Hunting Crossbow was the trump card prepared by the Sword Saint to resist the invasion of dragons, Lorraine was still full of curiosity about this powerful creation that was said to be able to repel or even severely damage the dragons.

But this result obviously made Lorraine a little disappointed.

Although the magic arrows that were being made in a hurry and placed next to the dragon hunting crossbow emitted waves of slightly terrifying power from time to time, after carefully observing the structure of the dragon hunting crossbow, Lorraine found that this thing was really too bulky.

Perhaps this dragon-hunting crossbow could really cause some damage to the dragon's invincible defense, but whether it was turning or tracking, these huge creations were obviously not as flexible as Lorraine had imagined.

But think on the bright side.

Perhaps, if a dragon-hunting crossbow unit could be assembled, these powerful arrows could form a covering attack, which would cause considerable trouble to the invading dragons.

Judging from the attitude of these craftsmen, they are obviously not planning to just build a few dragon hunting crossbows.

if it is like this.

Standing in a more secluded place with Frost Dance, Lorraine began to think.

Since the dragons invaded human territory, and he is now indeed a monster rather than a human, then the fight between the two sides naturally has nothing to do with him.

Whether he just watched coldly or shot arrows from behind, it was absolutely impossible for him to help these humans.

According to the plan that Lorraine had roughly drawn up in his mind, if he wanted to gain the greatest possible benefit from this disaster, it would naturally be best to let the dragons and humans fight to the death.

The best outcome is that both sides suffer losses!

In this way, whether it is for Lorraine's plan to occupy Maple Leaf Town or to find a way to conquer the invincible Sword Saint, it will only be beneficial and not harmful.

Judging from the information Lorraine currently has, the strength of the dragon side is still unknown, but he has a general understanding of the human camp in the past few days.

Although most of the original adventurers and civilians in Maple Leaf Town could only serve as useless cannon fodder, the Sword Saint did not come alone this time. She brought an elite adventure team from the Kingdom of Giorar.

When it comes to dealing with dragons, the presence of the Sword Saint is like a high-end nuclear weapon in the battle, while this elite adventure team of the kingdom is the offensive force that can play a huge role at critical moments.

With the help of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow, Lorraine could foresee that if there was no giant dragon above level 60 that could contend with the Sword Saint in a short period of time, the battle would most likely end in a one-sided outcome.

The powerful strength of the Sword Saint, coupled with the tactical coordination of the elite team, and the deadly power of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow, undoubtedly tipped the balance of victory in this battle heavily in their favor.

However, this was definitely not what Luo Lin wanted to see. In his plan, taking advantage of the situation was a crucial step. If the battle went too smoothly, all his plans would be meaningless. Luo Lin thought to himself, his eyes deep and solemn.

He knew that he had to find a way to maintain the balance of the battle without arousing suspicion, giving himself a chance to find a foothold in this huge vortex.

"I have to make some preparations," Lorraine thought to himself. He looked across the busy streets of Maple Leaf Town and had a preliminary plan in mind.

Moreover, since the Sword Saint could openly display the Dragon Hunting Crossbow, she must have hidden other cards in private that could be used to turn the tide of the battle at a critical moment. As for what these cards were, Lorraine had almost no idea.

Perhaps it was an elite troop of the kingdom that had been hiding all this time, or perhaps it was a weapon against dragons that was more powerful than the dragon-hunting crossbow, or even some kind of super-level magic mastered by the Sword Saint - a spell that could not be cast easily but was absolutely powerful.

Whatever they are, these hidden forces will make the battle more complicated and unpredictable.

After determining in his heart that the dragon was clearly unbalanced in this battle, Lorraine's mind raced as he quickly planned his next move.

His eyes could not help but turn to the other dragon hunting crossbows that were being built quickly. If all of these dragon hunting crossbows were put into use, the situation would inevitably tilt the battle further, making the dragon side even more precarious.

"In this case, in order to make my attack plan more advantageous," Lorraine thought silently in his heart, "why not take the opportunity to cause some damage first?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the dragon-hunting crossbows.

Lorraine knew that he had to act carefully so that no one would detect his true intentions.

Almost at the moment when this thought came to mind, Lorraine had already made up his mind.

Perhaps it was because Maple Leaf Town was now in a stage of working together as one, or perhaps it was simply because they had not considered that someone would sabotage it at this moment. In short, at the forging site of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow, not only was there a mixed flow of people, but even the symbolic guards were only a handful of elite adventurers.

As for the Sword Saint who seemed to be very popular among the people of Maple Leaf Town, she only showed up early in the morning, comforted the somewhat uneasy residents with a few words, and then disappeared quietly, as if she was adjusting her state for the upcoming battle.

In this case, taking advantage of this gap when no one seemed to notice, Lorraine prepared to take Frost Dance with him to dismantle some small parts on the dragon hunting crossbow.

Although Lorraine initially planned to destroy all the dragon hunting crossbows that were being built, he changed his mind later.

Now, under the promotion of the Sword Saint, this Dragon Hunting Crossbow has become the hope of the residents of the entire Maple Leaf Town. If the morale of the human side plummets due to the complete damage of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow in the upcoming war, even if the Sword Saint has a backup plan by then, it is likely that she will not be able to reverse the defeat.

Therefore, he wanted to leave a small part of hope for the people of Maple Leaf Town.

Moreover, if the strength of the dragon side is far beyond Lorraine's imagination, and the dragon hunting crossbow is indeed an important backup prepared by the Sword Saint, if Lorraine destroys all the dragon hunting crossbows, the balance of this war will be instantly unbalanced.

Therefore, after thinking it over, Lorraine decided to destroy only half of the dragon hunting crossbow first.

On the one hand, although these remaining dragon-hunting crossbows do not pose much of a threat, they will still have a significant impact on the dragon.

On the other hand, the dragon hunting crossbow was only half destroyed, so it should not cause Maple Leaf Town to completely lose its resistance.

………………

Chapter 270 Waiting for the Dragon's Attack

After making the decision in his heart, Lorraine did not rush to take action immediately.

These dragon-hunting crossbows have just begun to be built, and there is only one finished product at the moment. The others are not yet in shape, so there is no point in rushing now.

Even though they were wearing camouflage masks, most of the people in Maple Leaf Town came to watch just to join in the fun. Most of them dispersed after taking a few glances. Although Lorraine and Frost Dance were not so conspicuous in the crowd, that was only relatively speaking. If they stayed too long, they would still be easily noticed by those who were interested.

After wandering around the dragon hunting crossbow forging site with the slightly crowded crowd and leaving leisurely, they waited until the evening. Lorraine and Frost Dance, who had quietly changed into disguises, carefully avoided others and sneaked into the dragon hunting crossbow forging site again.

Compared with the hustle and bustle during the day, there were not many people visiting the Dragon Hunting Crossbow forging site at this time. Only a few adventurers and craftsmen were doing the final finishing work.

As for this large open space, there were more than twenty huge machines emitting a cold and eerie light.

It is the dragon hunting crossbow that has been completed!

Long before his previous departure, Lorraine and Frost Dance had secretly finalized this sabotage plan.

Therefore, after returning and infiltrating again this time, the two people, who had changed their appearance, looked at each other, and then parted ways and ran to different sides.

Although he had already made up his mind to destroy half of the dragon hunting crossbows, there were some details to consider when doing it.

In Lorraine's opinion, although indiscriminate smashing could roughly achieve his goal, it would easily alert Maple Leaf Town and the Sword Saint in advance, which would be detrimental to Lorraine's intention of sitting on the sidelines and watching the fight between the two tigers.

This is the worst approach.

According to Lorraine's previous observations, although the dragon hunting crossbow is huge in size, the mechanical parts inside are precise and complex.

As we all know, the more complex and sophisticated the parts are, the more likely they are to have failures of one kind or another.

Therefore, Lorraine set his sights on some tiny components hidden beneath the huge structure of the dragon hunting crossbow.

These parts may not look very conspicuous if taken out separately, but they are often an indispensable part of a precision instrument.

Therefore, Lorraine and Frost Dance this time focused their attention on the key components rich in magic in each dragon hunting crossbow.

In the dim environment, the tired adventurers and exhausted craftsmen did not notice that two agile black shadows were circling over the assembled dragon hunting crossbows.

Although nothing unusual appeared from the outside, as the two figures' fingers moved more and more skillfully, small parts containing magical fluctuations were carefully and skillfully disassembled. I'm afraid that these powerful weapons will only be discovered when they are actually put to use. They have already become a bunch of useless dead objects.

As a powerful crossbowman, strong mobility is a necessary condition to ensure his survival, so Frost Dance is naturally agile.

As for Lorraine, he maxed out his speed attribute.

In this way, the two of them, relying on the cover of the dim environment and the concealment of the camouflage masks, managed to dismantle the key components of half of the dragon hunting crossbows on the field without anyone noticing.

After the two met again, Lorraine and Frost Dance smiled at each other, then chose a less traveled path, deliberately avoiding the crowd, and went straight back to the hotel.

Lorraine was not worried that their acts of sabotage would be discovered in advance by the craftsmen for two reasons.

First, based on his observations of the first dragon hunting crossbow, these craftsmen would naturally debug and troubleshoot it as soon as possible after assembly.

On the surface, if it weren't for the sudden action tonight, these dragon hunting crossbows would appear to be intact in everyone's eyes.

Therefore, Lorraine chose to wait until all the dragon hunting crossbows were built and assembled before taking action. This was also one of the keys to his plan.
