Gold is Justice

At that moment, Ariel smiled very gratifiedly and said, "I'm glad that you can think about the relationship here. How is it? Do you still think that designing weapons is an evil thing?"

Tesla shook his head vigorously, and also smiled: "No, I think this is a very honorable thing now. As long as it can protect the lives and property of our citizens, the more efficient the weapon for attacking the enemy is." The better, the easier it is to kill them, the better."

With a slap, Ariel clapped her hands and nodded: "Very good! Then let's continue! I also heard some people's ideas about elemental guns on the front line today. Let's summarize them one by one."

After explaining Tesla's knot, Ariel immediately began to tell some things about the inconvenience of using the elemental gun that she heard during the day.And she said that Tesla was also recording on the side, that is, after preparing to record all the content in detail, and then carefully think about how to improve it.

And in the gap between narrating, recording, and thinking, Tesla took a pen to write and draw on the drawings.But when Ariel finished speaking and turned to leave, the assembler suddenly raised her head and said with a little nervousness——

"That... president."

Ariel stopped her steps to turn around and leave, she turned her head and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Is there anything else?"

Tesla froze for a moment.After he lowered his head and thought for a while, he finally spoke again as if mustering up his courage——

"President, because there were too many things to do before, and you were busy with the affairs of the entire city and the guild, it was really inconvenient for me to ask. And I asked other people, and they all refused to respond to me directly, and they all said let me Here to ask you..." Looking at Tesla's current expression, Ariel immediately knew what he wanted to ask, and her smiling face froze all of a sudden.

"President... Now if you have time, I would like to know... May I ask when you went to the Hunting Seat Empire this time..."

"Have you... have you seen... Sevia?"

After all, we still came to this topic.

Since returning from the mission, Ariel has specifically told everyone not to tell Tesla about Sevilla's situation, and let everyone bring the topic to herself.

After coming back just now, Ariel saw that Tesla didn't come to ask deliberately, and thought that he had put aside the matter of the girl.It's just that he didn't expect that he still didn't let go...

Looking at Ariel's expression that gradually changed from a smile to a stagnation, Tesla couldn't help but look a little nervous, and asked again——

"No! I... I'm mentally prepared! I know... something bad must have happened to her... right? From everyone's expressions... I can tell... so... If you can, please tell me the truth... After such a long time, I can accept it..."

At this point, Tesla lowered his head again, with a little frustration, and said slowly——

"I just... just want to know a result... That day, she suddenly left without saying goodbye, and she is a girl... I don't know if she is doing well... Anyway, she is also the last guild member of the Origin Guild, Even if it's fake, I think she should have wanted to learn the elemental machine seriously...so...so..."

The next words, Tesla has been somewhat speechless.It seemed that even he himself couldn't convince himself and couldn't find a suitable reason, so he could only end it with silence and incoherent speech.

But now, Ariel silently looked at the assembler, with ripples in her heart.

Before Ariel, there are two choices.

One is to perfunctory the past, make Tesla give up, and let him stop thinking about Sevia with peace of mind.In this way, Sevia's story should come to an end here, and she will never appear in Tesla's story again.

Another option is to tell all about Selvia's current changes, and tell him what this girl has become now, how she became so powerful, and how she designed to kill the hunter. Opponents of the Murderous Empire.It's just that if such a choice is made, God knows how Tesla will react.Judging from the expression on his caring about Servia now, if he encounters something about the Hunter in the future, the story between Tesla and Servia will definitely have a lot of twists and turns...

Now, how should Ariel choose?

"Ah, Sevia... Huh... Well, Tesla, since you want to know so much, I'll tell you."

If Ariel is reading a novel or watching a musical, then she must hope that things will change in a complicated direction.After all, only when things become complicated will people look forward to what kind of magnificent and ups and downs will happen next!

It's a pity that this is not a novel now, and what Ariel wants to do is not to make the emotions of the guild members uncontrollable.

"She is married, married to a primary school teacher who treated her very well and was always by her side, protected her, and took care of her."

Sure enough, Tesla's expression froze the moment he heard that Seviya was married.

His lips parted slightly, trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.A pair of eyes looked at Ariel blankly, as if she was still doubting her ears.

However, this kind of surprise did not last for too long after all.After about a minute, the assembler's trembling mouth finally closed slowly, lowered his head, shook his head slightly, then raised his head again, showing a wry smile——

"Is she... married? Married to a teacher... Is her husband nice to her? Is she living... happy? "

Ariel stretched out her fingers to lightly touch her chin, tilted her head, and said while imagining——

"Happy or not... I'm an outsider, and you know that I'm someone else's mistress, so I'm afraid I can't say anything about what constitutes happiness between husband and wife. But at least, when I went to Crystal Crown City to see her She had a smile on her face when she was there."

The wry smile at the corner of Tesla's mouth gradually transformed into a relieved smile as if he had given up.

Seeing this, Ariel continued to say——

"I was quite surprised when I saw her. She went shopping with her husband. At that time, it was snowing in Crystal Crown City, and her husband put a cloak on her shoulders."

"After chatting for a while, I found out that the primary school teacher has always been regarded as Sevia's neighbor in Crystal Crown City. She often helps Sevia with her. She grew up together and has known each other for almost seven or eight years. Well, that guy looks okay except he probably doesn't have a lot of money."

"Because of the failure of the last mission and the exposure of her identity as a spy, there is no way to continue to mix in the army of the murderer, so she was expelled from the army's secret service department. At this time, the teacher saw that Seviya After being depressed for a while, I offered to take care of them. After going back and forth, when I saw them, they were already married. And..."

Arriving here, Ariel paused for a moment to observe Tesla's reaction.After confirming that his expression did not turn into uncontrollable emotions, he said——

"Also, Sevia's belly is already a little bigger. If it weren't for the time limit of the mission's work, I guess I would be able to watch their child be born."

For such an ending, a little loneliness flashed in Tesla's eyes.

But after listening to the "full story of Sevilla", the assembler finally let out a long breath. Although the relieved smile bloomed, it was still slightly mixed with helplessness.

He put down the pen in his hand, sighed again, and said: "President, tonight... I may not be in the mood to improve the elemental gun. I want to go out and have some fun... Now the city is celebrating Victory, I also want to have a drink and chat with someone, is that okay?"

The first thousand 380 seven chapters old friend's rift

Ariel let the door open naturally, and at the same time said with a smile: "Of course. But you have to promise me that you will take care of yourself, okay?"

Tesla laughed twice and nodded: "Please rest assured, I know. In fact... I am relieved to hear that she is living well now. Well, that's it, President I want to go out for a drink or two to celebrate my junior girl finding a good home! The last member of our Origin Guild deserves such happiness! Hahaha!"

Laughing, Tesla walked out.

And looking at his slightly lonely but steady back, Ariel also knew that the assembler would be fine.

From the arrangement point of view, there are really many things today, but it should be almost handled now.

Ariel stretched, and walked slowly back to the guild hall, rubbing her shoulders.She went back to her room and took out the toiletries, put them in the washbasin and hugged them, while thinking about what to do with the captives tomorrow, she walked to the bathroom, preparing to clean her body well and then have a good sleep.

However, just as she entered the bathroom and was about to take off her clothes, there was a knock on the door that she had locked just now.

"Who's out there?"

Ariel asked.

"It's me, why, don't you welcome me?"

That was Napa's voice.

Ariel exhaled, stepped forward to open the door of the bathroom, waited until the cat monster flew in, then closed the door behind her backhand again, and continued to unbutton the clothes on her chest.

After taking off the clothes full of sweat and mud, Ariel coiled up her long golden hair, carried the towel into the bathroom cubicle, turned on the shower, felt the hot water falling from it, and swiped. When exfoliating the skin, it seems that all the fatigue has disappeared in this lesson.

Taking a shower, of course she didn't forget the kitten that floated in just now.After rushing for a while (harmoniously), she turned her head to look at the cat monster standing outside, and said with a smile——

"How is it? Would you like to come in and take a shower together? I suddenly remembered that we have known each other for so many years, and it seems that we haven't bathed for you~~~ If you haven't bathed for such a long time, you will stink."

Napa looked very disdainful. Floating in the air, it raised its hind legs and scratched its own neck, and said slowly: "Don't compare me with you humans, I am the monster you call me, I have my own Strength, even if you don't take a bath for thousands of years, you can still keep your body clean."

"Oh?" Ariel cheerfully lay on the partition of the single bathroom, looking at the cat monster suspended in mid-air.After being silent for less than two seconds, she violently poured water on the monster!

Facts have proved that a monster is worthy of being a monster. The moment she saw Ariel's splash flying over, Napa's figure turned around several times in mid-air very nimbly, dodging the splash very lightly.After stopping, the little cat didn't show any anger in its eyes. Instead, it looked at Ariel very calmly, and said slowly: "You are not a child anymore, stop doing such childish things. ...Don't forget, today you commanded these ordinary humans to fight a victory that has never been seen on this continent. This victory alone is enough to put your name in the annals of history."

Speaking of this victory, Ariel couldn't help but smile.

In any case, as a girl who really doesn't understand military strategy, she is actually able to win such a battle where she wins more with less. Anyway, she is indeed something to be proud of.

But after being proud, Ariel frowned again, sighed, and said——

"Winning is winning, but after winning, it doesn't mean the matter is over."

Napa's ears shook slightly: "Are you worried about...the royal family in this country?"

Ariel muttered, her hands continued to press on the baffle, letting the spray from the shower behind her slap on her back, and slide down the curve of her back, she said worryingly—"Isn't it? We It's good to win this game, but it also means that things can't end like this. Although the progress is a bit different from what I expected, the speed is a little too fast... I thought I should at least continue to operate It will take two or three years to get enough capital to fight against the royal family. Before that, the consequences of directly angering the royal family are not small..."

After hesitating for a moment, Napa slowly landed on the baffle, stretched out her claws and patted Ariel's face still covered with water, and said, "Is it that difficult to deal with? You have the elemental machine and these Terrible weapon, even if more troops come, you can handle it."

"The problem is not the army's problem."

Ariel sighed, turned around, and continued to let the water from the shower splash on her face.She reached out and wiped it lightly, turned off the shower, picked up the soap and rubbed it on her fingertips, waited until there was enough foam, and then began to apply it on her face——

"After today's battle, I will never worry about the royal army coming to attack our Pelican City head-on. But in war, the most important thing is not the number of so-called army generals or soldiers, even The advantage in weapons is not absolute."

"The key to truly determining whether a war can be won or not lies in the economy. In other words, it lies in the gold coin."

In this regard, Napa sighed involuntarily, and said: "You, you, really everything can be related to the economy. What does the war between you humans have to do with the economy? Barbaric tribes slaughter civilized people. It’s not that things like cities have never happened in your human society. If the stronger the economic power, the more able to fight, then there will be no border harassment in this world at all. Even in your human history Some human countries that were directly destroyed by the barbarians will not be destroyed, will they?"

After applying the foam, Ariel boiled the water down and carefully wiped off the foam on her face without getting it on her hair.After her face was cleaned, she continued to say——

"The situation you mentioned does exist, but the so-called barbarian invasion of a civilized city and the destruction of that country is only on the surface. The real reason... My teacher is right There's been a little research on this, but I don't know much, so I won't argue with you. I'll just talk about the difficulties we're having right now."

Napa snorted, looking a little unhappy: "You human being is really becoming more and more illogical. This is the first time I saw a human being who immediately said he was in trouble after winning a battle. "

Ariel gave a wry smile, continued to turn on the shower, turned around, lay down on the baffle, and stretched out her fingers to lightly touch Napa's forehead, the huge——

"Do you know what is the most essential reason for our victory today?"

Napa seemed a little upset, and said, "'Economy'~~~ Anyway, you only know the reason."

Ariel nodded, then put away the wry smile on her face, and continued: "I'm not joking. The most fundamental reason why this war can really be won is the batch of magic power crystals we can get from the Demon Mine Village. .”

"It is precisely because of this batch of magic power crystallization that we can mass-produce elemental guns. It is also these magic power crystallizations that allow factories in our cities to quickly produce a large number of elemental gun bullets."

"In other words, if we hadn't been able to crystallize these magical powers, it would be impossible to create so many weapons with the materials of our Pelican City, and it would be impossible to win this battle."

She turned her head, began to slowly wipe her body with soap, and at the same time lost herself in thought, she said——

"Outside of Pelican City is an open wilderness. On such an unobstructed plain, the elemental gun has proved its combat capability. In this case, no matter what kind of army the empire sends, it is impossible to fight against us. Get benefits in your hands."

"But in other words, if the imperial army does not insist on attacking our Pelican City, but cuts off our communication with the outside world, then things will be completely different."

Napa's ears perked up suddenly, as if she heard a very interesting topic.

"I believe that it won't be long before the Imperial Army will realize the power of our elemental machines, and at the same time know that the source of power that can drive these elemental machines is the Demon Mine Village."

"Under such circumstances, if we cannot directly open up the communication road between our place and the magic mine village, then the imperial army only needs to intercept the road transportation between the magic mine village and our city, and soon, our elemental machine It loses power and won't start."

"Wait until our magic crystals are exhausted before attacking us. At that time, it's time for us to really die."

The little white cat raised its head, looked at the girl whose whole body was covered in foam, and looked at the appearance that although she was enjoying the "leisure" at this moment, she still didn't stop "thinking". There was a moment of silence.

"So, starting tomorrow, the things we're really going to be busy with are about to start."

Ariel put down the soap, turned on the shower, and let the water start washing away the suds from her body again—

"We are now the undoubted rebel army, and we are still the rebel army that can directly defeat the imperial army in one breath. This can be regarded as a big shock for the entire Blue Bay Empire."

"Whether it's for gaining prestige or maintaining the dominance of my 'lover' family, they will never let me go, and they will definitely use all their strength to attack me. For this reason, no matter how much I compromise It is impossible to make them give up even if they give in. Only by really embarking on the road of rebellion can I guarantee that I can survive."

"Therefore, my first thought is to control the entire border province first."
