Chapter Twenty-Three: Adults are smart because they play dumb
Hundreds of people gathered in front of the mayor's residence in Corina, holding signs and shouting slogans, strongly condemning the city's efforts to contain "unknown creatures" and demanding that these "unknown creatures" go back wherever they came from and disappear forever.
Cortana crouched in a chair and looked out the window, pouting, "These guys are so annoying." ”
Wolf sweated when he listened, and quickly explained: "I'm sorry, Lord Cortana, these people just don't know the gods yet, and they don't have malicious ......."
At this time, Cortana continued: "Isn't there no way for me to go out and eat vegetable wrapped mutton rolls?"
“……”
Wolf was speechless for a while, but that's all you care about?
"What's the situation now?" Yingluo suddenly appeared in the hall, and Wolf hurriedly wiped his sweat and said, "This morning, a lot of people suddenly came from other floating islands, I thought they were ordinary tourists, but they turned out to be a group of radicals. They gathered outside the mansion and advocated that the gods be allowed to leave, and they did not let go of each other's words, no matter how I explained them, and their attitude was very firm. ”
"Looks like you're prepared. Yingluo smiled and said, "Have you found the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"Judging from the intelligence in the port area, these people are all from the floating islands under the Ibis Merchant Country, and they should have been instructed by the high-level of the Ibis Merchant Nation. After speaking, Wolf frowned: "But I still don't understand, what are they insisting on letting the gods leave for? Not to mention anything else, during the time the gods are in Corina City, the accidental injury and crime rate have been greatly reduced, and the people are also grateful for the help of the gods, no matter how you look at it, the arrival of the gods is beneficial to the people and the entire floating continent, this kind of resistance is unreasonable." ”
"It's not surprising at all, just think about it a little bit, the status of the gods after they descend to the earth is actually quite embarrassing. Yingluo explained: "Those in power don't want to have more than one boss on their heads, and ordinary people will also be resentful because their wishes are not fulfilled. With a little incitement, it couldn't have been easier to form the current situation. ”
"How can this be?" said Worf in surprise: "I can still understand the psychology of those in power, but how can ordinary people be resentful because they can't bathe in divine grace? Only the kind and brave can obtain the gift of the gods, and even a three-year-old child knows this kind of thing!"
"What a three-year-old child understands, adults don't necessarily understand. Or even if they do, they can pretend they don't understand. Yingluo shrugged his shoulders: "The simplest example, if we had not saved you at that time and chose to save a beggar on the side of the road, if nothing else, your daughter would have resented us." ”
Wolf opened his mouth, but suddenly found that he couldn't refute it, and his face couldn't help but feel ashamed: "I'm sorry, it's my goddaughter who has no way." ”
"Don't say that, it's all human nature, and I don't blame anyone. I'm just saying this as an analogy, and I don't mean to blame. Yingluo continued: "It's the same with the people outside. If I'm not mistaken, Corina and the Ibis Business Nation are in competition, and you have the favor of the gods and they don't, which of course is intolerable. If the people in power guide them a little more, these aggregators have not smashed the glass of your house until now, and they are already very reasonable. ”
The corners of Worf's mouth twitched: "Is there no way?Maybe you can send a few gods to the floating island under Abis to descend on the gods, maybe you can resolve the conflict." ”
"You're kind, aren't you afraid of your opponent's development and growth?"
Worf shook his head: "Political disagreement is political disagreement, but the people on both sides are always innocent." I won't block their chance to bathe in the divine light because of my own opinion, after all, we are all inhabitants of the Floating Continent. ”
Yingluo smiled: "Now you understand why we helped you, right?"
Wolf was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he said with some embarrassment: "I accept your praise, there are still many deficiencies in the future." ”
"It's not enough, but at least it's enough to win our friendship. Yingluo patted the other party's shoulder: "Divine grace is not gratuitous, your hard work and dedication for the people is our reward." As for what you said about letting the gods go to Abis...... Forget it. ”
Wolf asked cautiously, "Can you tell me why?"
"It's simple. Yingluo replied with a smile: "Everyone is holding up signs to scold us, and we also go up to the pole to send them warmth, isn't this cheap? Although the dignity of the gods is not something that can be shaken by this trivial matter, everything must be done willingly." We don't owe them anything, and we will fulfill their wishes, and the gods will not bother with them. ”
Wolf's head was sweating, and that unreasonable sentence was simply a death sentence for the Abis, I am afraid that they will never be favored by the gods again, it is really self-inflicted.
"And the people down here...... Severed?"
"Do you have a way to dismiss them?"
Wolf was embarrassed: "Corina believes in freedom, and protest is part of it. They didn't break the rules in any way, and they didn't cause any damage, so it's really hard for me to make a move......"
"Understood. There's nothing wrong with sticking to your principles, you don't have to take it personally. Yingluo thought for a moment and shouted, "Hope!"
The girl with wings on her back appeared in the hall and responded timidly: "Yes." ”
"How's the setup going?"
"It's all done. Hope moved a few steps to the side, a little farther away from Cortana, "The rest is work in outer space, mainly in two galaxies 19 light-years and 34 light-years away from here. ”
Yingluo nodded. This world is not the planet as a battlefield, in fact, the final battle must be carried out in the universe, so the preset work of the order cannon is also mostly concentrated in other galaxies, which is at most a transit station, and the main role is to provide coordinates and serve as a staff lounge.
Yes, it was a place for the gods to rest after work. Although there are seventeen beasts entrenched on the ground and extremely desolate, at most, it is the level of rats in this lounge, which is much more comfortable than the desolate universe.
"Since the host's family is not welcome, then let's go. Yingluo said indifferently: "Cortana, call all of our people back, you go and pinch a planet for them to use as a rest room." ”
Pinch...... Pinch a planet?
Thanks to some documents left by human beings, the sub-people also have some understanding of astronomy, although they can't fly, but at least they have the concept of planets and galaxies. As soon as he heard Yingluo's words, Wolf had the expression of being a handsome wolf being X-husky, and the planet can also be pinched?And listening to that meaning, it doesn't seem to be a big deal......
Wolf thought that the gods were already very awesome, but now that he looks at it, his mind is still too rigid.
"Let me pinch the planet?" Cortana jumped off the chair with a slam and said excitedly, "Really, my mother and sister have always refused to let me pinch the ......"
Ying Luo patted her head, and suddenly remembered that this girl was mentally retarded, and the planet she pinched out should be so curious, it is estimated that if she gave it to Pandora, she could be a nineteenth layer hell or something. It's also to blame that this girl is too deceptive, and when she is honest, she is like a little white flower with a lot of water, but once she opens her mouth, the style of painting changes abruptly, and it directly evolves into a noisy mandrake.
Holding down the excited Cortana, Yingluo turned her head to Hope and said, "I'll leave the matter of pinching the planet to you, after all, you also know Cortana's situation." ”
"What's wrong with me, I'm fine. A bunch of ideas are jumping out of my head, at this moment I am possessed by Van Gogh and Picasso, I am not fighting alone!"
"Stop, I don't dare let you go. Ying fell with a black line and waved his hand to let Hope go quickly.
Cortana hurriedly shouted to Hope, "No, Sister Hope, why don't we be one and a half?" I'll just pinch the northern hemisphere...... Hey, don't go, I only pinch above the Tropic of Capricorn, and if I can't do it, the North Pole will be successful...... Just one point!"
Hope finally left, grimaced at someone, and left without any nostalgia.
Cortana knelt on the ground with a standard ORZ and muttered, "I didn't pluck her so much hair before I knew it...... Retribution, retribution. ”
"Huh?" Ying Luo raised her eyebrows: "You plucked the wings of hope, I thought she was shed?"
"How can a god shed his hair?" Cortana said, "Dad, are you stupid?"
"Oh, I don't dare anymore!I'm stupid, I'm stupid!" Cortana was spanked on Young's lap.
Wolf was sweating profusely, witnessing the interaction between the Emperor of the Gods and the Second Princess, and he felt that he might be at risk of being killed......
"Worf!"
"I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything!" Wolf hurriedly took a stand.
"What do you say?" Ying Luo pointed downstairs, "Tell those guys that the gods will be gone in three days, let them disperse." ”
Wolf hesitated for a moment and said, "What if they don't believe me?"
Ying Luo smiled, walked to the window and opened the window, stretched out his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the terrifying force brought a hurricane straight into the sky, directly splitting the white clouds in the sky into two. It was as if a huge crack hung above everyone's heads, making people stunned.
The protesters below looked at the sky one by one, and they didn't even notice that the sign in their hands fell to the ground with a bang, as if they were stupid.
Yingluo turned around and said to the equally stupid Worf, "Go ahead, they should believe it now." ”
