Chapter 490: The Simple Behind The Not Simple (4k)
"Things tonight are not easy!"
Tropp sighed and said to Alan and Renard.
"Well, indeed, if it were just a personal grudge, he wouldn't have been so reckless. There should be a pusher behind this."
Alan nodded in response to Tropp's words and responded in a deep voice.
"But the question is, who is behind the scenes?"
Renard continued to talk along the two of them and asked a question.
“There are too many possibilities.”
After rubbing his chin and thinking about it, Allen gave an answer with a wry smile.
"That's true." Renard thought for a moment and nodded helplessly.
Indeed, in this country, there are too many people in this country who are enemies and opponents.
Not only did the Pale Parliament, the Truth Society and other cult organizations have direct grudges with them, but the conservatives inside also have continuous grudges.
These are all possible opponents, and they are also possible to stir up trouble behind the scenes.
Therefore, it is really impossible to draw a definite conclusion in a short while.
"But basically, external enemies can be ruled out, at least the illegal cults of Pale Parliament are unlikely."
After pondering for a while, Allen gave his own thoughts.
"First of all, although our itinerary has been no longer hidden since we arrived at the imperial capital."
"But those who can react so quickly and complete the layout are definitely people in the empire, and they must be the one with high authority."
Neither of them refuted Alan’s statement because it was true.
"And, Johnson Keith is still a real power figure in the empire, and he can be called a boss."
"There are basically only a small group of people who can tell such people to do things in the empire."
"And outside the empire, it's not that there are no one, but it's just the top continental forces that are the same as the empire. I have no direct grudges with them, so it can't be them."
"Although they are famous for their reputations, they are still a little bit worse if they want to drive a high-ranking and powerful figure in the empire."
Allen's tone was calm and he did not look down on him, but just simply described the facts.
"Wait." Hearing this, Tropp subconsciously raised objections.
"I know what you mean, though in terms of motivation and possibility, it is indeed the most likely of those who are the old school."
"But not necessarily."
Seeing the puzzled gazes between Allen and Renard, Tropp did not directly tell the two of them the answer, but instead raised a question as if he was asking.
"Have you ever thought about why Johnson was willing to be the first to be a pioneer?"
Hearing this question, Allen and Renard couldn't help but feel silent.
This is an angle they have not thought about before.
Before, they had always used the other party's purpose as the focus and made corresponding logical inferences.
After all, this is the most convenient and fastest clue, and I have never thought about it from the perspective Tropp said.
But now after being awakened by Tropp, they reacted, which was also an excellent entry point.
After all, since Johnson is willing to charge for the other side, there must be a reason.
It may be a benefit, a handle, or something else, but it must not be for no reason.
It is a bit mysterious to start from the other party's possible purpose, because some things cannot see clearly the true meaning of the person to a certain extent. However, if you start from possible motivation, it will be much simpler. After all, no matter what the other party has paid or used, it will inevitably be directly fed back to Johnson.
After understanding this, Allen couldn't help but be shocked by Tropp's incisive insights.
As expected, he is indeed a pillar who can move around the executive headquarters with his own strength and retain his vitality for the reformists.
Not to mention anything else, the other party's eyesight to peel off the thread from the mess and find the most likely and efficient clues in a short period of time is not something that ordinary people can have.
While he was increasingly respectful of Tropp, Allen also gave his own answer.
"At the level of Johnson, even in the entire empire, there must be not many things that can impress him."
"Although the Silver Level is no longer the highest combat power of the empire because of the resurgence of the Demon Tide, the Golden Level has also appeared."
"But in the short term, his status and power will not be shaken too much."
"So, what the other party pays will inevitably not be a support exchange for power."
"After all, it's not that easy to go further when it comes to Johnson's point. If a whole faction is working hard, it's a little possible, but the cost is too high, and they will definitely not be able to do this."
Tropp nodded with a smile to Allen's answer, but did not mean an excuse, but signaled him to continue.
After taking a look at Renard and getting the same encouragement from the other party, Allen continued to say it.
"After eliminating the most common possibility, there are only two kinds of remaining, human favors and interests."
"Although I didn't know the grudge between Mr. Johnson and my father before, I also had a corresponding understanding of the other party, and as far as I know, the other party did not seem to owe any great favors. After all, as a descendant of the noble who inherited the title of Earl, the other party does not need to rely on the support and appreciation of noble people like most civilians who rose in the underworld to gain the level of advancement."
"So, the human relationship can be ruled out first."
"Then in the end, only interests are left."
Allen paused, as if he was tidying up his thoughts, lowered his head slightly, his face could not be seen clearly in the dim street lights, and it had a mysterious meaning, blurring his handsome outline into a dreamy color.
"There are only a few interests. Since even the possibility of power and status has been excluded, the possibility of other external interests is extremely low."
"So the benefits he seeks must be closely related to himself."
Speaking of this, Allen's brown pupils were shining brightly.
It is like a dazzling star, emitting a dazzling luster in the sky.
"Combined with the situation where he was unable to advance to the golden level, I think the biggest possibility that could drive him is what the other party gave him to break this impossible grasp, or just possibility."
Slap sex!
In the empty night, on the street under the street lights, I suddenly remembered a sound of applause.
Tropp looked at Allen with admiration on his face.
Renard clenched his right fist and gently pounded Alan's chest, his eyes full of joy.
"Yes, what you said is exactly what I think."
The applause stopped, and Tropp put down his raised hands, affirming Allen's guess.
"But all this is just speculation at the moment. As for the truth of the matter, it needs to be tested by evidence and time."
Alan and Renard had no objection to Tlopp's words and nodded in agreement.
What he said is reasonable. No matter how correct the logical inference is or how perfect it is, the facts still need to be tested in the end.
Because inference requires logic, but sometimes reality does not.
After determining which direction they were going to start, figure out the other party's purpose, and perhaps a secret move, the three of them walked towards Allen and Renard's accommodation tonight while talking about other topics.
"Allen, what did you do to that Johnson in the ring?"
Renard walked beside Allen, shrugged near the other party, and asked curiously.
Allen was stunned at first, and then explained his operations to Renard.
Although according to common sense, such matters should be kept confidential.
But since Johnson has discovered his tricks, it would be okay to tell Renard.
Since things have reached this point, Johnson will definitely seek help in the future, hoping to solve the troubles in his heart.
In this process, no matter how many people he invited, whether he kept it secret or had a big mouth, the spread of the news was irreversible.
Others will inevitably learn the details of it and what he did.
Even Johnson does not need to take the initiative to say that as long as the essence of Johnson's soul disappears afterwards is exposed, others can draw conclusions based on the simplest inference.
There are some things that everyone knows very well and do not need evidence at all.
This is indeed true.
However, without evidence, Alan cannot be convicted, he cannot become famous, and even if he knows everything, he cannot start. This is also a fact.
So, Allen was not stingy with sharing his joy with Renard.
"Good guy, you're so awesome!"
After listening to Allen's explanation, Renard's expression of surprise was uncontrollable, and his originally lazy pupils were almost the size of a copper bell.
"Johnson Keith really lost his wife and his army this time."
After a while, Renard controlled his surprise and said again as if he was sighing.
Allen nodded in agreement, and then said in confusion.
"I probably understand what the other party wants to do tonight, but I don't understand how the other party is going to get out?"
"Although I don't like to use my power to suppress others, and I don't know how much legacy my father left, no matter how much calculations are, if I intentionally hurt, the other party cannot escape without being able to do so, right?"
"It can even be said that if the other party really does this, he may be thrown out as an abandoned child before he can get the reward he wants."
"This..." Hearing Allen's question, Renard was also a little puzzled, because he didn't know what the other party was thinking.
"I can probably guess what the other person thinks."
At this time, Mr. Tropp, who had always been diving, also joined their group chat.
Although Allen has not confirmed Tropp Green's credibility through Master Ryan, Mr. Derria and Ms. Kelly, after the previous incidents and the news obtained from Raham, he was able to basically confirm that what the other party said was not false.
So, although Renard was asking him what kind of punishment Johnson had suffered before, he treated him equally when explaining.
Of course, this is not a carelessness, but a strong confidence in one's own perception that is nearly extreme.
Before, the other party was just a listener. But at this time, when he heard Allen’s question, the other party couldn’t help it.
"Alan, do you remember how you felt when you swung your knife at Johnson before?"
When Allen heard Tropp's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously began to recall the situation at that time.
Although he has not yet made a formal determination to achieve silver in his soul, thanks to his basic qualities that have exceeded the standards, Allen can still clearly recall every detail at that time.
"Remember, there was no omission. But I didn't notice anything wrong?"
Allen gave a positive answer, but at the same time, he also gave his own questions.
Hearing Allen's answer, Renard couldn't help but look at Tlop with some confusion.
Because in his opinion, since Allen has said that, there is a high probability that the battle just now will be fine.
This is not a blind belief that has lost its judgment, but a conclusion with a practical basis.
The more I know about Alan, the more I understand what kind of terrifying monster the other party is.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to achieve the terrifying combat power of surpassing the silver by relying on the fact that it has not entered the body of silver?
Tropp smiled at the puzzled look of Allen and Renard, and then said seriously in response to their gazes.
"When Allen swung his sword, he should have felt the resistance and constraints from the ring itself, right?"
"Yes." Allen nodded, affirming what the other party said.
After receiving Allen's recognition, Tropp continued: "The ring was built to increase experience for his own people, not to intensify conflicts."
"So, in order to prevent people from taking the opportunity to vent their personal grievances and suddenly taking ruthless actions when fighting in the ring, this aspect was designed when the ring was built."
"The magic circle on the ring is the specific implementation of this kind of consideration."
Hearing this, Allen thought something, but it was still a little bit worse.
"The design of each arena is basically the same, but the limit of the force that can be prevented is different."
"Except for the largest one that can be used for the silver level, the others can only be used for the black iron level."
"This style of painting is not only a limitation of the ring materials, but also the reason why this preventive measures are limited."
Hearing this, Allen understood what Tropp meant, but was still a little puzzled, "What you mean is that the other party has tampered with it in this regard."
"But, I didn't notice it at all?" Alan looked surprised when he said this.
However, Tropp laughed, "That's because there is no comparison."
"If you have seen the normal magic circle in the first place, that is, you will naturally be able to see the difference between the two and make a clear distinction."
"Even if they are to you, they are just spider webs that can be torn apart at will."
