Louis looked at the little swan lost in thought and chuckled inwardly.
He seemed to have already envisioned a black swan with a darkened expression.
Yes.
Louis had pulled a fast one on the black swan.
If the little swan was naive and clumsy (or just simple-minded), then the black swan was certainly proud and aloof.
He couldn't get the black swan right now.
After all, that girl was already legendary.
But if he couldn't get the black swan, could he not handle the little swan?
What is the most powerful lie in the world?
It's using the truth to cover up a lie.
To the black swan, the Louis she knew was a hapless fool who, somehow, ended up occupying someone else's perch.
However, this unfortunate guy seemed to be more talented and more observant than the original Louis.
In this life, many changes occurred, and the core reason was that a key player fundamentally changed.
Did this key player really change?
It really did.
Louis wasn't lying.
He just concealed some parts of the truth.
He hid the fact that he transmigrated before being reborn.
Then, after the black swan had formed her first impression, he sought her out to ask about various events from the previous life.
Of course, this also included details about the Great Flood.
Sharing a brain with the little swan, the black swan naturally knew these details.
Thus, she unhesitatingly shared these matters with him.
...
On her way to the East Monet Kingdom, the black swan, Olivia, spat in annoyance.
"That Louis, he's indeed a master of lies! But his lie is quite convincing."
"Me at 10! How could you believe his words like that?"
"Even though we come from the same source, your pig brain..."
The black swan shook her head.
She felt the little swan was beyond saving now.
Indeed, the task of rescuing Ense and dealing with her jerk of a father had to fall on her shoulders.
"Forget it, let's not worry about that Louis, at least he kept our promise..."
The black swan took a deep breath, gazing at the wasteland ahead, determination in her eyes.
She needed to visit a Great Witch.
The Great Witch possessed a crucial piece of intelligence.
...
The story splits here.
On the other side.
Louis watched the bewildered little swan, a slight smirk on his lips.
The black swan had repeatedly emphasized not telling the little swan about her.
Louis kept his promise.
In fact, he didn't tell the little swan about her.
But he did share his own matters with the little swan.
Of course, the little swan couldn't comprehend the concept of transmigration.
At most, she could only associate it with Louis coming from a world similar to an alien outer realm to the Star Continent.
As for how Louis knew about the original owner's matters, it was because the original owner had a habit of keeping a diary.
He had learned a lot from the original owner's diary.
So the question arose, what Louis told the black swan was true but incomplete.
What he told the little swan was complete, but the black swan couldn't believe it.
Because the contents Louis mentioned from the original owner's diary, the black swan had more or less mentioned to Louis.
So Louis was sure the proud black swan would assume he stitched together future events she told him and relayed them to the little swan.
He was certain the black swan wouldn't refuse.
Because as long as the little swan knew, Louis was also her ally, making it easier for the two to conspire together.
But what the black swan didn't know was that what Louis told her was true.
The kind of truth that couldn't be more truthful.
The internal logic was so coherent that it hoodwinked the little swan into believing it wholeheartedly.
Louis chuckled to himself:
"I bet the black swan thinks I'm conning the little swan?"
"Who would have thought that everything I said was true?"
This is the barrier of perception.
Knowing, yet still experiencing the obstacle of understanding.
Just like how an author might miss obvious typos when checking their novel because their mind already grasped the complete storyline, unless they go through it word by word, spotting even glaring typos becomes tough.
Initially, Louis had some reservations.
After all, you couldn't just tell anyone about transmigration and rebirth.
But after encountering the black swan, he felt liberated instead.
The black swan was a reborn one, which meant the little swan was too.
The two had a shared secret, so between the black and little swan, both were confidants for him.
Yet the black swan was too proud.
——Actually, it was because Louis couldn't match her in strength.
And she seemed quite busy.
——Even if she weren't, her twisted personality made it difficult for Louis to casually chat with her about past matters.
Besides, Louis was cautious and dared not fully disclose everything to the black swan.
But the little swan was different.
Her air-headed nature made her the perfect confidant for Louis.
Especially knowing that she never considered getting rid of him even after her rebirth, just confirmed it further.
Though he could cooperate more and trust the black swan,
but the little swan was more trustworthy than her, cooperation was just...
Louis had started doubting the true nature of the little swan's so-called "wisdom of the empire."
He was convinced!
The little swan was definitely a fool.
If the little swan ever found out how Louis ridiculed him in private like this, she'd definitely jump over and kick him in the knees.
However, 'if' means there is no 'if.'
The little swan took a deep breath and said:
"Damn it, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have done that back then!"
The little swan was dumbfounded.
She suddenly realized a very serious problem.
When she previously learned that Louis was most likely a reborn one, she secretly rejoiced in her heart.
