"However, there is one thing that needs attention!"
Cream stopped in his tracks and looked back at his comrade.
The smile on Baiqi's face gradually disappeared and turned into a serious look, and he said slowly——
"Although it sounds like demons have free will, it means that we also have power against them. However, I think you should also understand that if we are not facing a group of demons who only know how to obey orders, but a group of demons who will When you think about yourself and have a powerful demon at the same time, how terrifying it will be... I hope you can keep this in mind."
Gradually, the smile on Cream's face disappeared.
His originally cheery expression gradually calmed down now.
It's a bit arrogant to say this, but isn't this choosing your own enemy type?
Do you want to continue to face a large group of monsters who only know how to rampage, except for a little stronger physique and a little magic?
Or do you have to face a small group of enemies who can instigate rebellion, but are more cunning, more dangerous, and better at using wisdom to fight?
This point, I am afraid, will also be a question that Cream will need to think about next.
It's just that Cream at this moment doesn't know yet, and the reality is far from enough for him to think about this issue.
Because it won't be long before the choices Ariel has to face will be far more difficult than the choices he needs to think about now.
----
In March of 1310, the ice and snow first melted, and everything began to move towards a beautiful spring.
In this season of mutual generation of all things, it seems that everything is changing towards a better situation.
But it turns out that it is only the flowers and plants that are really recovering.
The campaign to exterminate the demon strongholds in the entire Heize province that was set at the beginning of the year did not go smoothly. I thought that the scattered demons would turn into headless chickens. It was easy to strangle, but the result was very easy. Unfortunately, after more than a month of progress, the results are mixed, which is almost equal to nothing.
According to the battle reports from the front-line soldiers, those monsters suddenly became smarter, and their actions became more unpredictable. Sometimes even tracking would be dangerous, and those monsters killed several soldiers in turn.
This kind of situation made the effect of this stronghold annihilation battle not so ideal. In addition, the Demon King's army did not simply retreat during this period, and various information about the deployment of troops came from the front lines of each battle zone. , it is conceivable that the Demon King Army must be planning the next counterattack.
After two months of recuperation, Ariel's injuries are considered to be much better.
Those bandages have been removed, and the body has recovered a little, and I can get out of bed and walk around with crutches.But after a long time, I still feel pain all over my body, as if thousands of needles are piercing my body.
Such a state of mind is obviously still not able to organize daily things, what Ariel needs now is still a long rest.However, what makes her a little thankful is that her hair has finally grown back a bit, which prevents her from breaking down when she looks in the mirror because she has a bald forehead.
On this day, the snow on the roofs and streets outside had completely melted, and everything in Giant Ocean City began to warm up with the arrival of spring.
The commercial activities that were stopped before are now running again. Shannan Province, as a large rear base, is constantly deploying various materials to support Heize Province, helping this large agricultural province to restore its vitality as soon as possible.After all, the time for spring plowing will come soon, which also means that Heize Province will become a stronghold that the mermaid army will have to stick to.
Ariel exhaled, leaning on crutches, and sat in a special wheelchair with the support of the female soldier.As the female soldier slowly pushed her out of the room, she first visited Baiqi who was seriously injured in protecting herself, and expressed her gratitude to him.Then I went to visit several other injured generals, and then went to the hospital for a stroll, chatted with those soldiers who were also injured, and was tired, with eyes closed, and was taken back to the city by the element car. The official residence.
But when she was leaning on the seat with her eyes closed, and slowly swayed with the bumps of the elemental car, the whole car stopped suddenly, causing her body to lean forward involuntarily.
This kind of thing is very unusual, only to hear the guard outside immediately knocked on the car door and said: "Madam, please don't get out of the car, keep calm."
As the guard's voice fell, Coco's voice also came from outside——
"Get out of the way! Pull her away! Don't come near here! Go!"
The voice sounded so harsh that Ariel felt a little uncomfortable.
But thinking that he had just been assassinated not long ago, it's no wonder that Ke Ke, who is in charge of security work, is so nervous now.
After the commotion outside eased slightly, the elemental car started driving again.
Ariel didn't stop directly, but continued to close her eyes, waiting for the end of the journey.
It didn't take long before the elemental car stopped slowly. Ke Ke personally opened the door, pushed the wheelchair to the side of the car, looked at Ariel in front of her worriedly, and said, "Sister President, are you alright? You look fine. Tired, go to rest now!"
Ariel smiled and got on the wheelchair with support.On the way Ke Ke pushed her back to the room, she asked a little casually: "What happened just now?"
Ke Ke laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's just an old lady rushing to the car to complain. Everyone knows that you are kind and kind, so many people will come out to do this kind of thing recently. Said To be honest, it's not just you, even I occasionally encounter this kind of people who stop cars and shout for injustice when I go out."
Ariel was silent for a moment, and said, "Our governance...does the residents here feel so dissatisfied?"
Ke Ke continued: "How is it possible? Everything is a replica of what you did when you were in Pelican City. It is because we have just captured Giant Ocean City, and it has only been three months until now, and everything is recovering. On the right track. Of course there will be a lot of conflicts in the process, so there are so many people blocking the car. You should know the president, sister. If there is any lord who is kind, go out and take a walk There will be people stopping cars everywhere, calling for injustice and demanding justice. This kind of thing has not changed until now, and it probably won’t change in the future.”
Ariel knew that she shouldn't care about such things.After all, I don't live in a novel. It is impossible to meet someone who calls for injustice, and there must be a shocking injustice waiting for me to vindicate.The more important thing is to make the whole city run smoothly as soon as possible, so that there will be fewer and fewer problems like this. This is the solution.
But just when she wanted to put this matter behind her, a guard came hurriedly from behind, and when she saw Ke Ke standing there, she hesitated a little and dared not go forward.
Ke Ke noticed the guard behind her, and couldn't help frowning: "It's been said that the president's sister is not doing business recently, if you have anything to do, come and talk to me after I go to the office!"
The guard froze for a moment, but still nodded, ready to retreat.
But Ariel exhaled and said, "Forget it, I'm still in good spirits, let him come over."
Chapter 650 Enemies and friends?
Ke Ke: "Sister President! You need to rest now..."
Ariel laughed: "My brain feels like it's going to rust. If I don't exercise properly, I guess I'll become useless even if I recover. It's just one thing, it doesn't matter, it's okay. That soldier , come here, what's the matter?"
Unable to resist Ariel, Ke Ke could only step aside and let the guard pass by.
The guard let out a breath, and then said: "Ma'am, there is a person outside, saying that he wants to meet you face to face, and then ask you for an official position. We asked who he was, and he just brought this coat of arms. Said ma'am, you can tell when you look at it."
With that said, the guard handed over a coat of arms in his palm.
It was a coat of arms in the shape of a unicorn, and the unicorn was not very delicate, full of roughness.But what looks heavy is obviously something with a long history.
Seeing this coat of arms at first glance, Ariel was slightly taken aback.
But soon, her spirit was shaken, and she immediately understood what this meant!
"Where is that person?"
Ariel supported the armrests of the wheelchair with both hands and wanted to stand up, but she was too weak to control her body.
Seeing Ariel's expression, the messenger immediately said nervously, "It's... just outside! I'll call him in right now!"
Originally, Ariel wanted to nod.But after thinking about it, she immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, it's better for me to greet you in person! Keke, come on, hurry up and take me to the door!"
Hearing that Ariel was so stubborn, Ke Ke felt a little unhappy, and said, "Sister President, I don't care who the person outside is, in short, you should take good care of your body now!"
Immediately, Ke Ke turned his head and said to the messenger: "Go and take that person to the reception room, but remember to check if there is any problem first. At the same time, do a good job of protection in the reception room, and arrange at least ten people in it first. prevent accidents."
The messenger nodded and left, Ariel couldn't help being a little angry seeing that she couldn't go to greet her in person.But she also knew that Ke Ke was doing it for her own good, so no matter how angry she was, she could only swallow it silently.
"Sister President, I know who that person is outside, but even so, your current status is very honorable. We have lost information with the other party for three years. God knows what kind of state he is in now. It is really not good. It can't be prevented."
The author has something to say: I found a good website, all serialized here: Lanwen.com (LANWENS.COM)
While speaking, Coco pushed Ariel to the living room, preparing to change into a set of clothes first.
In this regard, Ariel had nothing to refute, she could only nod her head and said, "No matter what, I still think...he shouldn't be our enemy. You can say it's my instinctive hunch, isn't it? I boast that my premonition is quite accurate."
Going to the living room, after changing into a set of loose and warm formal clothes, Ke Ke pushed the wheelchair to the reception room again.
From a distance, you can see that there are about twenty guards standing guard around the reception room.Looking inside through the opened door, there are even more guards standing inside, almost filling up the reception room.
Regarding this, Ariel frowned slightly, and said, "There are too many people, so it is very rude to the guests. Let's all step back, just leave a small number of people to take care of them."
Regarding Ariel's request, the guards were a little afraid to leave their posts without authorization, and all looked at Ke Ke who was in charge of Ariel's security work.
But before Coco opened her mouth to defend, Ariel raised her eyebrows and said in a slightly serious tone: "What? No one has listened to my words, right?"
The guards glanced at each other, and then, without waiting for Coco to issue an order, they retreated one after another.
As soon as she entered the living room, the serious expression on Ariel's face immediately turned into a full smile.
She looked at the man who was standing by the window looking at the scenery outside, and said cheerfully, "Little Liquor Boss, it's been a long time! Seeing you are safe and sound is really better than anything else."
The man standing in front of the window did not turn around immediately, his gaze was still on the bustling streets outside the window, after a moment of silence, he turned his head and said slowly——
"It's really better than anything else to see that you are still so energetic, President. During this time, I have really worked hard on you."
Once the only bar in Pelican Town, the owner of the Unicorn Bar - Little Spirits.
Today, he looks almost the same as when we parted three years ago. He is still dressed in a very sculpted bartender outfit. The bow tie at the neckline is obviously carefully taken care of. Although the whole suit looks a bit worn out, it is clean. Enough to make people have enough admiration for him.
Xiao Liquor originally had his hands behind his back, but after seeing Ariel coming in in a wheelchair, the expression on his face was slightly surprised.Then, he took two steps, knelt down on one knee, and saluted Ariel in front of him.
Now Ariel is sitting in a wheelchair, there is no way to avoid it, she waved her hands anxiously and said, "Little Liquor Boss, what are you doing? Get up, get up!"
Little Liquor didn't get up immediately.He covered his left shoulder with his right hand, bowed deeply to Ariel, and said, "This kneeling is not because you are a marquis and I am a commoner. It is because during these three years, Ms. Ariel Garcia's brave fighting spirit is kneeling, and I am kneeling for those human beings who have been saved or are about to be saved. Ms. Ariel Garcia, you can definitely bear this kneeling, please don't Too much mind."
This time it made Ariel a little embarrassed, now she could only smile wryly and let Keke adjust her wheelchair.However, when Ke Ke adjusted the angle and was about to turn to the side, Xiao Liao also got up and sat down on a sofa next to her.
"Do you mind if I take a break here?"
Little Spirit's politeness made him look like a very gentleman.
And Ariel naturally smiled and expressed her respect to him.
After sitting down, Xiao Liao said slowly: "I really didn't know that you were seriously injured, President. But now it seems that everything is still in the process of recovery, which is really a blessing in misfortune .”
Ariel sighed slightly, and said, "I originally wanted to be humble, but now that I think about it, I'm really lucky. It's a pity that other people are not so lucky."
Little Liquor nodded, and said: "Luck is also a kind of fate, and those who are favored by fate can naturally undertake certain careers. President Ariel, to put it bluntly, I can be regarded as someone who has witnessed your fate with my own eyes. Here, I can assure you that your name will leave an extremely deep mark in history."
Ariel laughed. At this moment, Ke Ke next to her brought two cups of tea and placed them in front of them.Ariel held up the hot tea and said while warming her hands: "How did you find us this time? It is really gratifying to see old friends in Pelican City now. Many people have been here for three years. They were dispersed during the period, and we don’t know how everyone died.”
Xiao Liao also picked up the water, but he put it down after a while, and said: "In the past three years... the situation in the past three years is indeed dangerous. I have also encountered many difficulties and experienced many twists and turns .But now that I have stabilized, I can find you, so I can come to see you."
After a short pause, Xiao Lijiu said again: "President Ariel, please allow me to continue to call you by this name. I came to you this time, and I hope to get a stable job. After all the wandering time before It’s too long, and this kind of homeless life is really too difficult.”
In Ariel's impression, it seems that Little Liquor shouldn't have such a character?After all, the owner of the Unicorn Bar seems to be so calm at any time, it can even be said to be calm, as if nothing will shake him.
But now, he came to ask himself for a job?
But after thinking about it, now is the time of war, how many people are uncertain, and how many people are displaced?How much suffering have you experienced in these three years?Even if there is a slight change in thinking, it is not surprising.
Thinking of this, Ariel felt a little relieved.At that moment, she nodded and said: "Okay! Then what kind of work do you want to do? Now Juyang City is in a state of waste, and there are all kinds of jobs. As long as you mention it, I will arrange it for you! How about I give you a piece of land to rebuild now?" Build a unicorn bar?"
Little Liquor shook his head lightly, and said, "Running a bar is just for rest and recreation. Now that it's a state of war, I hope I can do something more suitable for me."
As he spoke, he embraced each other with both hands, and tapped the index finger of his left hand on the back of his right hand. After a long time, he said slowly——
"Why don't you let me have a business talk with President Ariel, how about it?"
At that moment, Ariel suddenly felt a chill!A kind of horror that suddenly spread from the bottom of my heart!
However, she didn't feel the danger, nor did she feel that she was at the mercy of others like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Because at this very moment, Ke Ke beside her immediately pulled out her wand and stood by her side.But behind Xiao Lijiu, beside him, at the gate, and under the ceiling, many members of Mermaid Song have already taken their positions, and they all maintain the most vigilant fighting posture looking at the person who used to live with them. The little spirits boss who has been around for a long time.
