Chapter 254 Brother, what should we do now?
"Pagoda suppresses the river demon."
Lind also responded directly to the code in Mandarin.
"Odd changes to even and stays the same!"
"Symbols look at the quadrants!"
"Palace Yu Ye Liquor!"
"One hundred and eighty cups!"
After confirming through eye contact, I knew we were from the same hometown.
Lilith said directly: "I am from City Z."
Linde was not too upset and simply replied, "What a coincidence, me too."
"Maybe we've met before we traveled through time, so for the sake of our fellow countrymen..."
Lilith tried her best to act more pitiful, but for some reason, Linde thought of his sister who had asked him to stay up late to help him play games and gain achievements. He immediately refused with a look of disgust on his face, "No way!"
"Ok."
Lilith also leaned back in her chair with a slightly disappointed expression. Although she had expected this kind of development, she still felt a little disappointed when it really happened.
It can be seen from his previous attitude that the time traveler's attitude towards him is more like a competitive relationship. That's right, he has the technology in his hands, why would he give it away to his fellow countrymen when he sees them?
The time travelers are of one mind? Screw it. If you really go to another world and meet other time travelers, it will basically be a dark forest.
"In fact, I didn't intend to use our status as a fellow villager to ask for any benefits from you."
Lilith is not the kind of person who likes to make trouble unreasonably, or rather, the current situation does not allow her to do so.
"I just want to be frank with you. Tell me the truth. What do you want to do?"
When Lind heard Lilith's question, he answered without hesitation: "After clearing out the demons and completely recovering the northern border, if things don't go smoothly, we must at least take over the central region and the eastern border. I at least need to ensure that the population is sufficient."
The purpose of briefing is to have possible cooperation, and only after briefing can the two sides of the time travelers have the possibility of cooperation.
Lilith also nodded. To be honest, if conditions permitted, Lilith even wanted to be a surrenderist. If she couldn't beat them, she would just join. There was nothing shameful in losing to a fellow villager. The royal capital was a mess anyway.
"Can I just surrender?"
At this point, facing her fellow villagers, face is no longer important, Lilith simply gave a French military salute.
"impossible."
Lind pressed his Jingming acupoint and closed his eyes to rest while refusing. If the queen ran to the North now, the situation in Capet would instantly become extremely chaotic, and the North would even be attacked from three sides, and all cooperation would be out of the question. This did not conform to Lind's current strategy of resting for the time being.
There was no need for Lind to go to such lengths for a fellow villager.
"Ok."
Lilith also sighed and continued to ask:
"What if it goes well?"
Lilith felt that she had asked a question she already knew the answer to. After all, there could only be one answer. Sure enough, Lind answered without hesitation: "At least the entire kingdom."
It has to be said that Capet's choice of land was quite good. The borders were not defenseless. After so many years of confrontation with Anjou, the defensive terrain of the borders had long been developed. If Linde really took over in the future, he would only need to copy Capet's previous work and replace the old city defense tools with new ones.
Even if Linde does not make any effort to make progress in the future and spends his days in drunkenness and dreams, he can still survive for a long time by relying on this land of Capet.
"So what are you going to do with me?"
It’s not so much that Lilith is desperate, but rather that she has given up.
"Who knows? Maybe you're just sitting on a boat one day and it sinks?"
Linde spread his hands and continued, "It depends on your attitude next."
Sure enough, to the Governor of the Northern Territory, it didn’t matter whether Lilith was dead or alive. Even if she died at a critical moment, she could still be a help to the Governor of the Northern Territory.
Surrender directly? This is impossible. Not to mention how much chaos it would cause, the other party would never agree to it.
Perhaps because this makeshift place was not well ventilated, Lilith, wearing a velvet cloak, felt a little stuffy.
Lilith slumped down in the chair and said, "I also had a brother with the same name as you in my previous life. I often think that it would be great if he were still alive. Although he is a bit nagging, at least I wouldn't be so embarrassed now."
Lilith pulled at her collar to fan herself and cool down, and continued, "Okay, I'll cooperate with you, but here are some conditions. Do you think you can accept them?"
The identities of fellow villagers are not completely useless. At least, talking about cooperation as fellow villagers is much more reliable than the cooperation between Her Majesty the Queen and the Governor of the North.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Lilith saw the Northern Governor staring at her with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
It was indeed a look as if he had seen a ghost. The figure of the queen, who was sitting in an untidy manner, with her cloak unbuttoned, holding her collar to cool down, her legs almost raised on the table, and a look of death on her face, gradually overlapped with someone in Lind's memory.
"You said before that you were in City Z before you traveled through time, right?"
Hearing this question, Lilith answered seriously: "Yeah? What's wrong? You have an impression of me? But I haven't told you my name yet."
Unconsciously, Lilith felt that the expression on the face of the Northern Governor was becoming more and more nagging, just like when he saw his brother wearing only a vest at home on vacation.
Linde sighed and asked:
"Excuse me, are you Lin Li, who was born on X month X day of XX and is a senior high school student in Z City?"
I'm super, box!
Lilith, who had just opened the box, immediately reacted when she saw that face, and cautiously asked, "Brother?"
"..."
Lind's mood now is like he is in a crazy confrontation with someone online, about to blast the opponent through the defense, but then he finds out that the opponent is his own family.
Lilith was like she had traveled through time and space and became the queen of a fallen country, only to find out that the enemy general was her own brother.
This is indeed the case now.
After confirming that the Northern Governor in front of her was her brother, Lilith cautiously asked, "Brother? How did you travel through time as well?"
Linde slammed the table and cursed, "I still have to ask you. How come you traveled ahead of me?"
Now it's Lind's turn to break through.
"I can't come!"
Lilith imitated Linde's previous move and spread her hands.
Now Lilith was even in the mood to make a joke.
Linde only felt a dull pain in his temple. This was too weird. The two confirmed with each other that it was really Linde who died first and then Lin Li traveled through time.
But now is not the time to dwell on this.
"Don't go back later, just follow me back to the North!"
Lind slammed his palms hard on the table, his tone brooking no room for argument.
"I do not want!"
Lilith also slapped the table, and her action was exactly the same as Linde's.
"Run away now, brother, are you kidding me? Do you know what will happen if I run away now?"
"The entire capital, the entire central region, no, the entire kingdom will be plunged into chaos!"
The situation at the scene took a polarized turn. Lind demanded that Lilith surrender directly to the North, but Lilith refused to do so.
Linde, from the perspective of a brother, would definitely put his sister from his previous life on his own territory to make her feel at ease if he suddenly met her in another world. However, Lilith felt that since the Governor of the North was really her brother, shouldn't the two of them join forces? How could she give up her status as a queen and surrender?
The difficulty of Hell suddenly became a fun game, and you want me to go AFK? Whether from an emotional or rational point of view, Lilith would never go to the North obediently.
Hearing Lilith say this, Linde walked quickly to Lilith and wanted to lift her up, while Lilith kept running around the table, dealing with Linde.
Lin De cursed as he walked away: "You little bastard, you've grown wings! Don't you know how dangerous your current position is? Several people have already set their sights on you!"
"Show some respect to me. I am the Queen of Capet now! And you are just a mere Governor of the North!"
After hearing this, Linde's face turned red. This little bastard was taking advantage of him. He turned around and looked around to see if there was anything useful around him.
When Lilith saw Lind turning around and looking for a weapon, she immediately shouted, "Don't mess around! I'm going to call for help!"
After saying that, he took out the rune scroll that he had prepared long ago in his arms.
After seeing the scroll, Linde realized that he and his sister had traveled through time, and he sat down calmly again.
Seeing that Linde had cooled down, Lilith didn't dare to provoke him anymore, but asked, "Brother, what should we do now?"
