Chapter 876 Old friend?
Hearing the praise from the owner of the sixth island, Lin Yu nodded slightly.
At least the other party seemed quite "friendly" on the surface and not as neurotic as Lao Zheng described.
So, Lin Yu continued to talk to the other party.
"I apologize for being a little rough with the residents of your town... but I also wanted to find you as quickly as possible."
The Lord of the Sixth Island looked at Lin Yu: "That's my question, stranger—why did you come to see me?"
"Since you've noticed my questions, I think you should know how I got to this island," Lin Yu said slowly. "I came here on that special airship—and everyone on the airship had the same purpose."
The Sixth Island Master lowered his eyes, his long, trembling eyelashes looking like a brush covered in glitter against his platinum-gold eyes. "Ah, you're all here for the item my old friend entrusted me with, right?"
Her voice remained calm, as if she was talking about something very ordinary, so ordinary that it seemed like she had helped many people keep many copies of this inheritance.
Lin Yu nodded again: "Yes, I hope to obtain the inheritance of the first generation of 'Freud'... But, are you and him old friends?"
The Lord of the Sixth Island raised his head again and whispered, "Yes, old friend—are you surprised, stranger?"
"Common sense dictates, if we weren't friends, why would I be keeping his belongings?" she whispered, then took a step forward. "But... all I can tell you is that he has indeed stored some 'objects' with me, waiting for the right person to claim them. But I won't give you too many clues."
"If you want to ask me about those objects, please go back. I won't help you."
She raised her hand slightly and gestured to see the guest off.
Lin Yu shook his head: "No, although I did come to the Sixth Island for that guy's inheritance, I didn't come to visit you to find out the news about those things."
"Rather than those legacies... what I want to learn more from you is the original 'Freud' himself."
"What he did in this world and what kind of legendary story he created, this is what I want to know from you."
As Lin Yu spoke, the Sixth Island Master heard his words and looked at him calmly.
"It sounds like this is just another way of getting hints from me—you're trying to get a side view of him and deduce information about his heritage, right?"
Lin Yu didn't deny it: "You may think so, but...how much useful information can this roundabout way obtain? It shouldn't be enough to affect the balance."
"After all, it takes time for me to listen to you."
"And... based on your understanding of him, can you tell me if he's someone willing to have his deeds spread?"
As Lin Yu spoke, the owner of the Sixth Island fell into deep thought.
Lin Yu could almost predict the other party's answer - after all, after the last sentence was said, Lin Yu could not think of any reason to refuse.
It doesn’t matter whether Lao Zheng wants these stories to spread or not.
The sixth island owner definitely wanted the deeds of the first generation "Floyd" whom he loved and admired to be passed down.
Lin Yu understood this mentality very well - after the death of his loved ones, if he had the opportunity to deepen and prolong the traces they left in the world, no one would not do it.
It was an almost instinctive desire.
Sure enough, the owner of the sixth island spoke in a low voice.
"He has indeed done many things in this world that are worthy of being called 'legendary'."
"And the most incredible thing was that he engineered the death of the usurper who intended to 'steal divine power.'"
"Originally the guardian of the ruins, after the Federation's revival became hopeless, he chose to seize power that didn't belong to him, allowing the catastrophe's impact to continue to expand. He then openly portrayed himself as a wise scholar and prophet, calling himself the 'Lord of the Mist Island,' and even a god," the Sixth Island Master said in a cold voice. "Under his designs, this world has fallen into ruin and decay. Even if he wasn't the culprit behind all this, he was an accomplice in its atrocities."
"And what 'Freud' did was to deceive the trust of that hypocritical villain who allowed the curse and distortion to isolate everyone, just to climb to a higher position. Even more astonishing, this was achieved without much cost to that Floyd—he simply saw the other's desires, followed them, and gave the villain what he wanted most, thus becoming his most trusted ally."
"Then, in a very short time, he used words to turn his loyal followers against him and revealed the truth to the other island owners. For those he couldn't convince, he used 'magic' to forcibly rewrite their minds, temporarily turning them into puppets. The power that hypocrite had cultivated for a hundred years, he completely changed in just a few months. This alone made him a hundred times more powerful than that guy."
"Furthermore, all of this happened silently," the Sixth Island Lord's voice was melodious, his words flowing like an epic poem. "Finally, that day, amidst the thick fog, the villain plummeted from the sky into the most severely 'cursed' sea. Trapped in eternal madness by his selfish desires, the monster tore the hypocritical villain apart—until the very last moment, the 'Lord of the Fog Island' had no idea who had orchestrated all of this."
Even though Lin Yu already knew what had happened, he still felt differently after hearing it again from the Sixth Island Master.
After all, in the events described by the owner of the sixth island, Lao Zheng could be said to be the master strategist - with just a few words, Lin Yu felt that Lao Zheng was extremely handsome.
and……
From the details from different perspectives, Lin Yu did get new information.
Lao Zheng's layout methods are richer than he imagined and the speed is faster than he expected.
Of course, these are not important.
The important thing is that now that the topic has progressed to this point, Lin Yu should also throw out some information that is enough to shake the owner of the sixth island.
He looked at the other person and whispered, "It's really wonderful. As expected, his experience is more eventful than we could have imagined."
"I can only know this from the accounts of someone like you, who fought alongside him and was the most important person to him."
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he pretended to continue expressing his feelings, but paused slightly.
And this pause was enough for the other party to interrupt the most critical part of Lin Yu's words.
"'The most important person,'" the Sixth Island Master repeated. "Is that how everyone in your world who knows him views me?"
"Well... not really. I'm afraid I'm the only one who thought that," Lin Yu said with an apologetic look. "That's why I was a little surprised by the 'old friend' you mentioned - not because I feel like you had no connection with him."
"But... I always thought that the relationship between you two was more than just 'old friends'."
