Chapter 846 – Three Chances
Hearing this reply, Lin Qiye’s eyebrows rose slightly as if he was a bit surprised.
”Not a bad answer.”
”Can I be a new recruit again?”
”No.” Lin Qiye shook his head, “Your qualification as a recruit has already been canceled, this is an irrevocable fact.”
”But you said at first that I would be able to come back to you once I found the answer ……”
”But I didn’t say that I could restore your recruit qualifications.”
Lu Baoyu’s brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn’t control a flash of anger that flared up in his eyes.
But soon, he forced it down.
He took a deep breath, his tightly clenched fists slowly unclenched, and continued, “I know …… then I will wait here until I can be let in.”
Although his words were calm and his voice was not high, a great determination was revealed between the lines.
He was serious.
”Wait here?” Lin Qiye smiled slightly, “Since when, did I ask you to wait here?”
Lu Baoyu didn’t understand Lin Qiye’s meaning the first time, and continued seriously, “I didn’t enter the confines of the training camp, and I didn’t disturb the training inside, I just waited outside, and I won’t cause trouble for anyone ……”
”No, you don’t get it.” Lin Qiye shook his head, “It’s true that you don’t have the qualifications to become a Night’s Watch recruit, but …… that doesn’t mean you can’t go in.”
Lu Baoyu froze in place.
”I’ll allow you to enter the training camp and participate in training with the other recruits, but you don’t have the status of a recruit, and the various scores in the assessment are meaningless to you……. To put it simply, you’re a bystander, in the middle of the training camp, but outside of the Night’s Watch. ”
Lin Qiye didn’t wait for Lu Baoyu to open his mouth and continued, “Of course, the fact that you don’t have the qualifications to become a Night’s Watchman right now doesn’t mean that you won’t have them in the future, if you make a significant feat at some point in the future, I think the Night’s Watchman will break the rules and re-enroll you into the establishment to become an official Night’s Watchman.
This is destined to be a bumpy and unknown road, no one can guarantee that you will definitely have a chance to enter the Night’s Watch in the future, which also means that the efforts you put in during this period may not be rewarded in the slightest ……”
Lu Baoyu stared at Lin Qiye in a daze for a long time before slowing down, “Not a new recruit, yet you can participate in intensive training? Do the Night’s Watch’s regulations allow this?”
”You don’t have to care about that.” Lin Qiye spoke indifferently, “I’m the captain of the [Night Vigil] squad and a special invited instructor for this intensive training camp, so I naturally have special rights.”
”…… Good.”
Hearing these words, Lu Baoyu’s right eye blossomed into a radiance, and without much hesitation, he nodded heavily, “Good! I promise!”
Although he didn’t obtain the qualification to become a Night’s Watch recruit and stand squarely in the training camp, this at least gave Lu Baoyu a possibility …… No matter what, this was better than waiting at the door of the training camp every day and gambling his own fate on the mercy of others.
He wanted to control his own destiny, even if the path was thorny.
Lin Qiye nodded slightly, “Follow me in.”
Lin Qiye turned around and walked straight towards the training camp, Lu Baoyu followed closely behind, those officers saw this scene, no one came forward to stop them, they just let them go all the way.
”Lin …… Captain Lin ……” walked into the gate of the intensive training camp, Lu Baoyu opened his mouth somewhat tangled.
”Call me instructor.”
”…… Instructor Lin.” Lu Baoyu couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you helping me? It’s clear that you and I have different positions, and we should have been arch-enemies……. You’re so strong, why don’t you just wipe out my existence? Instead, you still want to help me?”
”Different stances?” Lin Qiye glanced at him faintly, “A stance that isn’t simply black and white.”
He stopped, extended his hand, and pointed at Lu Baoyu’s only remaining right eye, “Stance, depends on your gaze and how far you can see.”
”What do you mean?” Lu Baoyu was a bit puzzled.
”Before, why did you want to kill me?”
”Because this is the contract that Lucifer signed with me, if I don’t kill you within ten years, my soul will be taken away, and I won’t be able to return to the world……. But if I kill you, I will be able to obtain even more power.” Lu Baoyu didn’t hide it.
Lin Qiye wasn’t surprised by this.
”You want to kill me because in your eyes, you only see Lucifer and only see your own power and safety.” Lin Qiye stretched out his hand, pointing towards the end of the mountain and field, the gradually setting sun and the deep blue sky, “But this world, it’s not just Lucifer and Michael, and it’s not just you, Lu Baoyu, and me.
Here there are cities, mountains and fields, the sea, the Night’s Watch, Daxia, the mists, and the countless outer gods hidden in the mists ……
If your gaze is limited by yourself, then the position you see is only Lucifer and Michael’s personal vendetta, only the battle of life and death between us; but if you put your eyes farther away, you will find that before the identity of the agent, we are all human …… are the people of Daxia.
If Daxia is not able to hold on in this dark world, it is not only us who will die, but also our cherished relatives and friends.
Is it the ten year period of life and death that is important, or is it the survival of Daxia that is important, which one should be prioritized …… This priority, have you really figured it out?
Your existence is indeed a threat to me, but if you look a little longer, as long as you can find your right place and slowly grow up, this is a good thing for Grand Xia.”
Lin Qiye turned his head and continued to walk in the direction of the training camp, the breeze brushed the crimson cloak, his voice slowly came out, “Our positions, from the beginning, were the same, it’s just that you didn’t see it clearly.”
Lu Baoyu looked at the crimson figure and froze in place.
After an unknown amount of time, his gaze became complicated as he took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Lin Qiye’s back.
”Thank you Instructor Lin for your guidance ……”
”There’s no need to thank me, I just stood my ground and did what I thought was right.” Lin Qiye spoke calmly, “Of course, stance is stance, I won’t use this so-called righteousness and right and wrong to kidnap your morals and make you give up your soul.
Seeing as you are my junior, I will give you three chances.
Three …… chances to kill me.”
Lu Baoyu’s body shook when he heard these words.
”During these three chances, you can ignore my identity, status, and carry out any form of assassination against me, regardless of whether you are a Night Watchman or not, and regardless of whether I am the captain of the [Night Curtain] or not, this is a battle that only exists between two of our arch-enemies’ agents, and even if I were to be killed by you, no one would hold you accountable.
I won’t kill you before the three chances run out, but if you fail the assassination for the third time, I will directly grind out your soul and flesh before Lucifer can do it.
What you had before in the mapping test was the first time.
Now, you still have two chances left.”
