War of the Roses

I stood behind Fife, my heart pounding.Now the meeting is attended by famous heroes.Except for the three people I know, the girl with red hair and ponytail sitting in the corner staring at the golden statue on the table is the legendary thief who stole the underwear of the devil. Next to her, there are three meat mountains as tall as her who faced the devil directly. The undefeated paladin, the silent long-haired boy next to Fafe and across from them is a magician who once lifted a city-state up and moved it to a safe place with the power of his mind.

My legs are shaking from being around the legends.Not out of fear, of course, but out of excitement.To be able to sit with them, even if it's just one time, it wouldn't be a pity to die!

Fav said to me coolly in the front: "Young man, what do you want to see, watch it now. Maybe sometime someone will find you displeased and throw you out."

I was taken aback for a moment, and the heroes were all staring at me intentionally or unintentionally, with expressions of evaluation on their faces.I quickly stood up straight, looked ahead, and glanced at Luoz and Kulongu from the corner of my eye.The two of them sat at the two ends of the long table. Kulongu was sitting upright, but Luoz summoned a familiar and put it on the table to play with.The heroes around him all respect him at arm's length.

"Let's begin." The last person closed the door, and Kulongu announced, "Our crusade is coming to an end soon, and the dawn of victory is just around the corner. Although there were some problems in the first wave of attacks, after our I also emphasized the principle again and again, the second and third attacks resisted very smoothly. Now that the time and place for the recovery of the devil king have been confirmed, we will just proceed according to the plan..."

"Wait a minute." The red-haired thief hero said, "As far as I know, it didn't go so smoothly. The timing of these three attacks is rare, which caused us a lot of trouble."

"Yes. Let's redistribute. There are some things that I need to trouble you to do, specifically..."

"Wait a minute, Kulongu." Roshan said like a chime, and the sound shook the whole room, "All of us respect you very much. But even so, I still have to say, you don't It should be so partial to one person. We respect all his contributions equally, but as a matter of fact, he did make a mistake."

"That's not important. Don't talk about controversial matters at the meeting, let's continue what we just did..." Kulongu lowered his head, suppressing the anger in his voice. I clenched my fist, expecting him to hit Roshan's face, but he just continued to talk about the next arrangement in a flat manner.

The heroes kept putting forward various opinions, and Kulongu tried his best to coordinate, and finally used his own prestige to suppress them.Roz fiddled with his familiar, as if he didn't notice other people's eyes on him at all, and was immersed in his own world wholeheartedly.

My fists were so painful that I wished I could punch other people in the face for these two unsatisfied people and wake them up.

Still, the meeting went on long and gruelingly.I was going crazy listening to the heroes going back and forth on minutiae.At this time, Fafe looked back at me, with a half-smile, as if she was saying to me: "Do you regret it?"

That's right, that's right, I regret it, when will someone dislike me and throw me out?

"Kulongu, it's basically all assigned now. The remaining things are just a matter of preference, and internal coordination is enough. There is no need to discuss it in a plenary meeting with such fanfare." The long-haired mage boy suddenly spoke.He was as detached as Roz, rarely speaking.But when he spoke, the audience fell silent.

Kulongu felt relieved and said with a sigh of relief: "The sage is right. This is the best. I have grouped you into groups just now, and other matters can be discussed internally, so I don't bother everyone here. This is actually not the first time that this arrangement has been made. You have also cooperated during the Monster War, and I believe this time it can be completed well. Why don't we just end the meeting..."

"Wait a minute." The sage stopped him, and his meaningful eyes swept over the faces of every participant, "There should be one thing we haven't said. Although the reward for meritorious deeds should usually be after everything is over, But there is one person here who can’t go back to Wangcheng to celebrate with us, why don’t we judge him here first?”

The eyes of the heroes lit up, and they expressed their approval in various ways.Kulongu hurriedly stood up to protest, but was drowned in the sea of ​​sound waves.

Roz played with his familiar, stared at the others expressionlessly, without saying a word.

Fafe looked at the people around him in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "Sage, why... You used to be a minority who could speak for him!"

"I have a sense of propriety." The sage said softly and raised his voice, "Yes, he is worthy of admiration here alone, but it is not difficult for him! As a monster envoy, forcing him to stay in the world is not easy. Wouldn't it be uneasy for him to be in the company of monsters? In that case, wouldn't we have done a good thing?"

"Sage, what are you kidding..." Kulongu stood up, propped his arms straight on the table, his voice was shaking violently.

The sage's youthful face smiled childishly: "We tried so hard to find a solution that got the best of both worlds, but how did he treat us? Our current predicament is all due to him! Wrong time, wrong seal, laziness in the crusade, monster envoy, are you feeling sorry for those monsters?"

Roz held his familiar in his arms, showing an indifferent smile.

This smile irritates almost all heroes.Some of them stood up, some denounced loudly, and the timid ones sat in their seats and muttered softly.Public opinion overwhelmingly blamed Lords.

Kulongu couldn't help shouting: "Enough!" He heaved his chest violently and looked at the sage, "You are enough. If you say this again, I will doubt whether I know you!"

"I'm not done yet. In fact, I think I have a perfect punishment for these malfeasance: How about just letting him stay here for another 200 years? That's hardly a punishment. He's A hero like us."

This time, he also received countless voices of approval.Fav looked serious, Kulongu stood alone at a section of the long table, looking like he was about to explode at any moment, while Roz was still sitting with nothing to do with himself.

There is a kind of emotion in my heart tossing and turning, I want to explode but have no substance, I want to vent but there is no outlet, like a mess that can never be untied, entwined in my heart.

"This is absurd!" Kulongu shouted, but hesitated before saying the next sentence, and then repeated the previous sentence, "It is absurd. Sage, why on earth do you say that?"

"Are you defending that person? So what do you think should be done?"

"I... No matter what, you are too much!"

The sage's laughter could be heard clearly by everyone, and he said loudly: "It seems that even you can't deny that he was wrong. There is no way, if there is a mistake, he should be punished, isn't it like this? No objection..."

"Wait a minute! I have objections!"

I heard the voice thundering in my ears, my chest heaved, and my whole body was hot, and I realized that the voice came from my own vocal cords.

I walked out from behind Fife and said loudly to the surprised eyes of the heroes: "I have objections! Roz never said he liked this place! That's just your own baseless imagination! You have no evidence that he deliberately Hurt anyone! We were all saved by him! Where were you at that time? Are you riding a horse, drinking and chatting?! Or are you enjoying the worship of others?!"

Roshan reacted, and Hong Zhong's voice shouted angrily: "Boy, who told you to—"

My ears were buzzing and I couldn't hear anything, but I tried to shout at him with the loudest voice: "You are a hero, should you deliberately use your voice to intimidate others? And you, you are a hero, you can Are you stealing at will to satisfy your own thieves' habit? Sir Sage, you are a hero, should you use your influence to attack others at will?!"

The red-haired thief put the golden figure back on the table in embarrassment, and defended himself: "We have the power of heroes, but we are just ordinary people like you."

"You are ordinary people, isn't Senior Luoz? Is he different from you? Why do you ask him to sacrifice his freedom to stay here? Just because he is a monster messenger? Just because he is a monster messenger!"

I think the voice of my last sentence can even overwhelm Roshan.I couldn't speak after that, my vocal cords were cut like a knife, and my saliva smelled like rust.I covered my throat and bent down, and Fave got up and pushed me into her seat.

The sage glanced at me, and I felt that there was a little approval in his eyes.I looked at Roz reflexively, and he blinked in the direction of the sage.

Wait, are they...

"You..." The sage was interrupted by Luoz just as he spoke heavily.The monster who was indifferent just now stood up and announced defiantly: "None of you should try to punish me, fools. I can go wherever I want. I am not staying here for anyone, let alone for You——I stay here because of me, willing, willing! If the time is wrong, it is wrong. You are all making such a fuss about such a small setback. I wonder if you killed the devil before. Instead of thinking about how to deal with me , why don't you think about the Demon King who is coming soon. If you fail, that will be the real laughing stock!"

He smiled sharply, kicked the door open, and walked out by himself.
