Gold is Justice

At that moment, the smile on Ariel's face froze.

And Tidal, who was standing next to him, had a sneer that he had been aware of for a long time.

Did His Majesty the Emperor notice Ariel's sudden freeze?

Maybe he sensed it... But even if he sensed it, Meng Lang still had a smile on his face and continued to say——

"You and your mermaid song, this period of time has been really hard. You should have become a member of our royal family, enjoy your life, be surrounded by servants, live in luxury Reach out to eat, open your mouth, play around and live a leisurely life. But because of my ignorance, you have been through such a long hard life. Now, I want to make up for my ignorance and let you and your guild members Rest. What do you think, how?"

Now, what adjective should be used to describe Ariel's current state of mind?

Puzzled?confused?Puzzled?panic?Fear?

Or maybe there are all these emotions, all these emotions are now suppressed by that slightly smiling face, and continue to face her emperor with that expression that seems harmless to humans and animals.

"Ariel, how's it going? I think this approach is very good."

Ariel stood up slowly, showed a gentle and charming smile at the emperor, and said——

The author has something to say: All fine novels are serialized here: LANWENS.COM

"Your Majesty, I am very grateful to Your Majesty for allowing me to rest and enjoy this relaxation and blessing. However, I have only just taken over Pelican City for more than four months. There are still many things to deal with. If at this time Leaving Pelican City, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task assigned by His Majesty well."

Meng Lang waved his hand, just like Ariel, a smile appeared on his face, as if he was talking to his closest friend, he said slowly: "Pelican City is not important at all. Even, the whole marginal The province doesn't matter either."

"Ariel, you have fully proved the efficacy of the element machine, as long as you can prove this, then it is enough."

"Those elemental machines, those developments of Pelican City, and your flower fairies and blood friends can all be recalled, and I can arrange a place for them in Hanhai City, so that they can give full play to their own strength and at the same time Had a great time."

Ariel took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, wouldn't it be a pity to let go of something that has been proven to be effective after so much difficulty? Besides, we still have a lot of things related to the element machine that need to be confirmed and improved... "

"Alright, alright, Ariel, don't say any more."

Before Ariel could finish speaking, Menglang interrupted her directly.At this time, there was still that seemingly gentle smile on his face, but there was a trace of dissatisfaction and coldness in his eyes.Seeing Menglang's eyes, Ariel immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"What's the problem with the element machine? I'm not saying that your textile factories, construction factories and other things are completely abolished. I hope to move all those things to Hanhai City."

Seeing that Ariel stopped talking now, the coldness in Menglang's eyes seemed to have eased a little, and he continued——

"Similarly, let your guild members hand in all the information about the element machine. In Hanhai City, there are many smart students here. As long as the power of the element machine is in the hands of our royal family members, I believe It will be more effective soon!"

So far, Ariel has completely stopped talking.Not only did she not speak, she even felt that her heart was about to stop beating, as if she was suddenly stripped of all her clothes in the cold winter months, and then thrown into the endless icy sea without any precautions. In the process, as the body sank a little bit, even the heart began to freeze slowly.

"It's not too late, how about this? Ariel, you can write a letter now, and I'll ask someone to take you to Pelican City, and let your guild members come to the vast sea with all the design drawings related to the element machine." If other people are willing to come with you, they can come together. If they don’t want to, I won’t force them. During this period of time, I can also arrange some suitable plots for you to live in. What do you think? How about it?"

Now, does Ariel have any right to refuse?

Perhaps she already knows very well that her current situation has not changed at all from the time she was forced to make a bet three years ago.I am still under the control of others, and I am still so powerless!

But under such circumstances, she still wanted to find a little...even a little bit of real strength for herself, and said: "Your Majesty, I may not be able to explain it just by writing a letter. I am also worried about my guild. Will the members feel that something has happened to me? If His Majesty allows, I can set off immediately and return to Pelican City, and personally bring my guild members and the design drawings of the elemental machine.”

Leaving the palace...leaving Hanhai City!

Now as long as you can leave this place first, then everything will have a chance to change!

only……

"Go back? There's no need to be so troublesome."

As if he had expected Ariel to say that, Meng Lang didn't show any emotion at all, he still smiled.But now he stood up slowly, came behind the desk, sat down on the seat that symbolized imperial power, and continued to look at Ariel on the sofa here——

"Running all the way, I don't feel sorry for you, my brother should love you. So, let's make it like this. Now you think about how to write the content. I have paper and pen here, so don't bother, you can just write gone."

From the very beginning, Ariel understood what the emperor was thinking.But now it's more certain!

At the beginning of the year, he gave himself three years, but now he can't even wait for the short three years.

What does this mean?

This means that there must be some major problems within the empire. These major problems made the newly enthroned emperor very anxious to gain a lot of power.For this reason, even his own side began to want to do something!

Ariel froze at the scene, looking at the pens and papers on the table, she suddenly felt wet in her palms.I squeezed it again, only to find that my palm was already covered with sweat.

But facing the emperor's eyes, she had no choice but to walk over, took the pens and papers with both hands, returned to the sofa and began to write on the coffee table.

Originally, she was carrying the writing pen almost every day, but now it has become as heavy as a ton.

Accompanied by this heaviness, Ariel felt more and more that she was about to be overwhelmed by the pen, and even...

Almost fainted immediately.

"I slept like I passed out."

In the afternoon, Key woke up from the pile of weeds with a stretch.He rubbed his eyes, and just about to get up, he found a plate beside him with a small piece of bread on it.

Seeing the bread, Key's eyes lit up, he immediately reached out to grab it, and smelled it with his nose.Then he turned his head and saw that the jelly over there was still practicing those lightning spells.

The key smiled cheerfully and said, "You are energetic? Where did this thing come from?"

Jelly didn't look back, and said while practicing: "I saw that you slept soundly, so I went outside and bought a piece. I hope my elder brother can get used to it."

After finishing speaking, he continued to chant the spell and began to mobilize the lightning elements around him.

Although there was no warmth in the voice of the jelly, but for the key, he stared at the piece of bread in his hand in a daze for a while.

After a while, I took a bite of the bread and said, "Well... the taste is not bad! Your eldest brother, I am used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas. It's good to use these things to adjust occasionally!"

After eating the bread in two or three bites, he got up and walked slowly to Jelly's side.I saw that he was currently practicing the spell of the lightning ball. Along with the practice, a fist-sized ball of lightning had emerged on his fingertips, slowly floating along with his thoughts.

Of course, this is not unusual.

What surprised Key was seeing a booklet in front of Jelly.There are many words written on it, and many pictures, which describe in detail the shape and effect of lightning magic.Some of it can be seen falling from the sky with lightning magic, and some of it pans out.Some can set people on fire, and some can smash big rocks in one go.

At this time, a gust of wind blew in through the wall full of holes, and after several pages, the key found that there were still records about various lightning magics, and some of them were even magics that I just boasted once!It's like there is a picture here, which actually shows a small city being destroyed under a large thunderstorm!There are many annotations beside it, which seem to describe the power and efficacy of this magic in detail.

"what is this?"

Looking at this booklet, Key's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Now that the child is awake, Jelly feels that she cannot continue to practice with peace of mind, so she can only slowly put away the magic, and said, "This is the magic that I recorded according to what you said. I still remember everything."

The key stretched out his finger and pointed at these booklets, and he became even more excited: "It's not this! Yes, it's this! Can you write? Can you write?!"

Jelly was a little surprised by this question.After hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "I...can write. My father has read some books, and he is studying with one of my teachers, so...can write."

The key snatched the booklet from Jelly's hand. He didn't seem to be interested in the drawn pictures, but instead concentrated on looking at the beautiful fonts.

He looked at the previous page, turned the next page, flipped through the manual from front to back, and then started to read it from the beginning. The excitement and anticipation on his face were beyond words.

Seeing the child's expression, Jelly felt a little clear in her heart, and asked tentatively, "You...Brother, don't you know how to read?"

"Ah."

Without thinking too much, Key nodded.

But soon, he realized his slip of the tongue, immediately put down the booklet in his hand, put on an old-fashioned look and hummed: "Literacy? Literacy! What's the big deal! Isn't it just knowing how to write a few words?" Well! Just like me! Even if I can't read, I can still be your big brother! Hehehe!"

Although the child is very arrogant, in such a proud and complacent mood, Jelly can still see that he can't help but glance at the open booklet on the ground, looking at the text inside, It was hard to hide the envy in his eyes.

Seeing this, Jelly thought for a while, picked up the booklet on the ground, and said, "Brother, if you don't mind...can I teach you how to read?"

Key squinted one eye, still showing a look of resistance.He glanced at the pamphlet again pretentiously, nodded after a long time of twitching, and said: "Well... If you are a younger brother and you are willing to honor me, then I will learn a little bit! Come on, what should we learn first? ? I want to learn some very powerful characters! The kind of characters that are awesome and can scare people right after they are spoken!"

This kid is still such a stinky fart, but since he is willing to get close to her, Jelly feels that she is finally developing in a good direction.

At the moment, he recalled how the teachers in the school taught the children to read and write in Pelican City before, and he began to follow suit at the moment. He began to read his booklet full of magic, and began to read and write. Teach up.

Maybe it's because the key is really very interesting, or maybe it's because these magic elements happen to be the field he is best at. In just one morning, he learned ten words, which can be written on the ground with his fingers .

"Haha! Writing is really easy, it's really interesting! Give me the book! Let me have a look... Well, this is two, this is up, this is front, this is... minutes, right? Hee hee hee , I know it much better! If this continues, I will be able to learn all the characters in a few days!" Jelly smiled and said: "Brother, reading and writing requires perseverance. Many things I know today, and I will know them again tomorrow. Forget it, so you have to review it all the time."

The key clasped his hands in front of his chest, and hummed: "Why is it so troublesome? I am very good, and I can learn things quickly! There is no need for this!"

Since the child is so stubborn, Jelly doesn't force it.But after teaching for a while, he couldn't help sighing: "Brother, I think now...you may really be a genius."

"Genius?" After being praised, the key seemed happy, and leaned towards jelly, and said, "tell me, why am I a genius?"

Those eyes stared straight at Jelly, obviously looking forward to praise.

Jelly thought for a while and said, "I mean it, you are really a genius. You see, you can't read, but you know so much lightning magic. You are so young, but when you are asleep, I will sort it out. The lightning magic you mentioned, my team makes you feel that the knowledge of these magics has far exceeded the amount that a normal magician can possess! But you know all these magics? At least, you know all of them? Can you describe them? Come out and let me record it? Are you not a genius?"

In the beginning, Jelly was indeed a compliment.And after listening to Jelly's praise, she is also a little proud.But as Gel talked more and more, the smug expression on Key's face became more and more faded.

When Jelly finished speaking, he actually lowered his head a little, as if recalling some very bad memories.

"Brother...?"

"...I'm amazing... right?"

The child who was full of energy just now suddenly said this sentence in a very decadent way, which surprised Jelly a little.

Immediately afterwards, Key raised his head, looked at Jelly with that face that was full of scars, but still showed the innocence and innocence of a child, and said slowly——

"I'm really... powerful, right? I can learn all the magic of lightning... I can have all the power in my body. I can escape, they tried to catch me and couldn't catch me ...So, I'm really good, right?"

Hearing these words, Jelly was really inexplicable, but in order to prevent the child from losing control of his emotions, Jelly nodded along with his words and said, "Yes, you...you are very powerful, indeed very powerful!"

The key took a deep breath, looked at the jelly, and seemed to have something to say, but held back at the last moment.Immediately afterwards, the child shook his head and said, "I am so powerful, so I will definitely be able to escape! I will definitely be able to escape... I will definitely escape...! I will escape... I must Run away...don't they try to catch me...don't try to take my power away from me...! They are my friends...only my friends...!"

The more he spoke, the deeper the child's voice became.Afterwards, it simply turned into a kind of self-serving murmur.

Jelly didn't dare to disturb him, so she could only sit aside and watch patiently, hoping that he wouldn't suddenly become weirder.

After a long time, the child suddenly raised his head, looked at Jelly expectantly, and began to say in a very yin and yang voice, even with a bit of disgust——

"Forget it, I won't learn anymore! What's so good about reading and writing? It's useless if you learn it! What's the use of your father teaching you to read and write? You let him save you now! Hmph!"

Speaking of her father, Jelly's heart trembled violently.

He has always been afraid to show his emotions in front of others.Only when facing Darke did he dare to sob a little.But now, when the child suddenly mentioned his father, Jelly couldn't help but recall his former home, and slowly, the circles of his eyes began to turn red.

"My father...he can't come to save me..."

Jelly sniffed, raised her hand and wiped her eyes.

The key snorted and said, "What? He doesn't want you anymore?"

"he died."

Jelly forcibly suppressed her emotions, lowered her head, sobbed softly, and said——

"My father died... and then my mother... died too. They all died... I... I have no relatives... my dearest parents in this world...they are... gone ..."
