Chapter 66: Troubles
Surrounded by a study under the warm sun, the old brown bookshelves glow with the fragrance of ink, and on them are well-organized dossiers, which are properly classified, and unconsciously make people sigh at the meticulousness of the person who can do this tedious work well, even the books that have been left on the table for a long time are as conscientious as a rigorous scholar at this time, as if they can't show their value if they don't do this, Toria unconsciously and secretly raised her head.

The open window sent in the morning breeze close to noon, infected by the inexplicable atmosphere shrouded in the study, the fluttering curtains did not dare to be too unscrupulous, and made a small sound, and on one side of the line of sight was a member who should be monitored, she pretended to pick up a book, her eyes did not even aim at the title of the book, she straightened her waist slightly, and pretended to read carefully.
To mention a little, there were three people in the study at this time, one of them was Toria herself, who was the master, no matter what, it was impossible to leave, she thought so, forced herself to calm down, and when she noticed, her eyes had already run to someone's body, covered by books, she was confident that the other party would not find out about her peeping small movements, and when such a thought appeared, his eyes were already in line with her gaze.
Slightly embarrassed to look at each other for a few seconds, she fortunately put aside the cover-up, her eyes narrowed and showed a wary glare, trying to hide her embarrassment after being knocked into a small movement, thinking that her eyes should convey the meaning of "don't move your mind, I'm watching you", Toria thought to herself, comforting herself.
However, in Shen Yi's eyes, her eyes were more like the little girl's trick of "let's play with staring, whoever blinks first, who will lose", he sighed helplessly, his eyes looked away, and Tolia looked away with satisfaction and openly.
She didn't travel long, her eyes followed by a tearful third person's plea for help, and the interpretation in her eyes was definitely a singing and weeping elven lament, but it didn't take much of Tolia to look away from that gaze, and she gorgeously ignored the pair of beautiful tearful eyes.
This is the third day that the man named Shen Yi has come here, although from the beginning she was resolutely resisting Lilith's almost nonsense moves, allowing people of unknown origin to participate in Atlas's decision-making, which itself is accompanied by risks, as the fourth general of the empire, her vigilance is coming, and her eyes turned to the thick materials piled up in front of Shen Yi, piled up like a mountain of files.
However, in just three days, her resolute resistance slowly reduced to a vigilant Cheng DΓΉ, unexpectedly capable, this is Toria's evaluation of Shen Yi.
On the first day he was brought to the study by Lilith, Tolia gave him the task of sorting out the bits and pieces of information about Atlas in the past two years, including the deeds of the Chamber of Commerce that had settled in Atlas, outdated military approvals, crusades against hurtful wild monsters, and other good things, although it was not a trivial matter worth paying attention to in terms of content, but it could not be left alone.
It was more time-consuming and laborious work than it seemed, and she thought that even the most capable person might take ten days and half a month, but in fact, in less than a day, Shen Yi had already sorted things into the bookshelf in an orderly manner.
From the very beginning, she looked at the man who had suddenly joined with suspicion and scrutiny, thinking that she might get tired of the materials she didn't want to touch in less than an hour, to the fact that she slowly felt that he might be able to do the transformation was only a morning's time, and when the busy back became an incomparably familiar scene, she would always unconsciously look twice, sometimes leaning against the window, turning over the thick account-like things in her hands, sometimes standing in front of the bookshelf and pulling out the thick files, or sitting on the makeshift table for four or five hours, Flipping through the yellowed paper.
In such an atmosphere, Toria even had a faint sense of guilt, compared to his seriousness, his own investment was less than one-tenth, I don't know whether I should feel gratified, under his influence, Lilith rarely showed energy to deal with the matter at hand, Lamia even saved time to lament the elves' human rights, and Toria herself also solved the amount of work that exceeded the usual weight, this state is really to be described, it is like a doll that usually does not move and runs after winding up.
It turned out to be a fate, and the tired Cheng dΓΉ must have increased tenfold, and by the evening, Shen Yi classified the last file into the file, whether it was Tolia, Lilith or Lamia, they all looked at him with a hellish expression, and when his back disappeared into the study, the elf fell on the table with a "snap", and Lilith leaned on the back of the chair as if she had lost her strength, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
This atmosphere was continued in the next two days, Shen Yi conveyed to them very well what it means to be a model subordinate, Lilith couldn't stand the atmosphere of the study and fled, Lamia also implicitly said that she could leave, after being rejected by her righteous words, she returned to her desk with a bitter face and continued to work hard, what kind of joke, if even Lamia let go, she would become her own to deal with this workaholic, Toria thought in her heart.
The door of the study was immediately pushed open, and it was Lilith who had not appeared for a long time, Toria looked at Shen Yi, and then at Lilith's refreshing smile, needless to say, the work at hand was definitely Lilith's duty.
"Ah Yi, you go to the Grand Theater on North Street to find Count Cullolo, the last time I asked him, there has been no response, you can help me urge him."
"Well, Count Cullolo of the Grand Theater on North Street......" Shen Yi stood up as he muttered repeatedly noting the location and human life Lilith had said.
"Oh, by the way, you don't have to come back so soon, his reply you can sue me tomorrow."
At the end, Lilith did not forget to give a cordial command, Shen Yi looked at her smiling face suspiciously, and only when his footsteps faded away did Lilith look at the other two people in the study proudly.
"You have to thank me, if I hadn't pushed Ah Yi away, you would have been tired and collapsed on the desk today."
"Woo, Lilith, you're definitely the messenger of the Silver Moon." Hearing this, Lamia immediately threw away her work and held her heart in her hands to show her worship.
"Well, that's natural, don't forget to bring two bottles of elf fruit brew next time you go to my house."
"Hey~ No, at most one bottle, I brought not much fruit brew to be drunk by you."
"It's something that can't be compromised, two bottles! Lovely Lamia, you must know that stingy elves don't live long! β
"Hu ...... Nonsense, how can there be such a statement......"
Toria couldn't help but look at Lamia, who had no confidence, as if she was said to be weak, showing cowardice, if she remembered correctly, the lifespan of elves is generally five hundred years, turning her eyes back to the two, under Lilith's coaxing words, Lamia was bitterly exploited two more bottles of elf fruit brew, it is worth mentioning that the price of a bottle of elf fruit brew in Atlas is five thousand crystals.
Sure enough, the elves are still very easy to deceive, and Toria subconsciously came to such a conclusion......

Night-
You can see the twinkling starlight of the stars, attached to the window are the colored curtains, through the window to look up, the three rounds of the moon that radiate clear light hanging high above it, this is a sight that you never get tired of seeing, it is so vivid to emphasize that you are in a different world.
"Ah Yi, I haven't seen Meimei recently, do you think she has encountered something unhappy?"
Vivien's voice with a little worry then fell into his ears, and he withdrew his gaze from the window, his ruby bright eyes took over his vision, and the girl with her head tilted looked at him without blinking, and her face was close to the side with a cuteness that was easy to make people pound, and her hair was wet after bathing, and on top of it were fluffy ears, and you could smell the fragrance on the tips of wet hair.
Then she put her head on his chin like a strange thing, urging Shen Yi to give an answer, her ears fluttered gently, as if brushing with a feather, the itchy touch came from the contact skin, the well-developed plump twin peaks occasionally pressed his chest, and the elasticity that came made his heart beat faster unconsciously, although he knew that Vivian was scheming, but her simple prank brought him great temptation.
This little fool!
Gently holding down her blonde hair, Shen Yi pressed his chin against her forehead, and turned it a few times hard, until he heard a sad cry from her mouth, and then let go: "Do you think everyone is as troublefree as you, you little fool." β
Vivian covered her forehead, raised her chin dissatisfied, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Stinky Ayi, who said I don't have any worries, I have a lot of things to worry about every day!" β
"For example?"
For example...... Well, I want to think about it......" Vivien then began to groan, then pulled out her fingers and counted them one by one, "...... First of all, I have to think about what to eat tomorrow? β
"Hey, isn't this what the person preparing the meal should think? Also Why should you think about eating in the first place? β
"Don't interrupt me, Stinky Ayi!" Waving her fists, Vivien protested dissatisfied, and then she continued to count her worries: "And then what games to play with the kids tomorrow?" How do you pass the time when Ah Yi is away, is it to help Sister Haiyin? Or do you want to take care of the flowers and plants planted outside the window? β
"It's too unconvincing to say that these are annoyances."
"Hmph, why aren't these annoyances? Vivien is trying hard to figure out how to spend her days happily! β
Listening to Vivian's innocent self-talk, Shen Yi shook his head, pretending to exaggerate to show a helpless expression, and then naturally was protested by the girl's body, rolling and beating his shoulders on him, yawning noisily until midnight, saying words like "Stinky Ayi, we are not finished", groggy into a sweet dream, looking at Vivian's sleeping position with an occasional flipping body, he shook his head and carried the girl back to his bed.
As for Meimei's matter, she was deliberately avoiding herself, he sighed softly, how could he help Haiyin and Meimei? He stared out the window, thinking about his own business.
This kind of powerless thing can be called a trouble......
**********************************************************************************
Speaking of digressions,First of all, I would like to extend a hundred thousand apologies to the readers of the Heavenly Demon of Time and Space.,At the beginning, I was quite moved to see his comments in the book review area.,Because that's probably the first comment on the real meaning of this book.,From that rare click and collection, a reader who likes this book can really be born.,It's probably what every author wants to see the most.,I even got it in front of my friends.,I'm very happy to tell him the news.,The joy in my heart is beyond words.γ
As for the reason for the apology, it is because the update of this book has been delayed for a long time, as a college dog, some time ago it was the time to find a job in the spring recruitment, and then it was the time for the graduation thesis, and there was not much "freedom" that really belonged to me.
After all, the results of this book,Really in the words of Long Kong,It's probably not even a street.,The editor gave me a recommendation that I couldn't find myself.,This is the first time this book.,I'm afraid it's the last time it's recommended.,Scattered collections also rise and fall.,I'm really not suitable for writing online articles.,This is a very obvious conclusion.γ
It's worth saying that every time I start writing a new chapter, I try not to look at clicks and collections, of course, there are also times when I click in, at this time depression is naturally indispensable, and even because of this, my thoughts are blank for an hour or two, and the conceived plot seems to have wings and fly away from my mind, after all, the chapters that have been written so hard are not many people read, and loss is indispensable, and no one will hope that their efforts will not be affirmed by others, right? Because of this, I got into the habit of not looking at clicks (self-deprecation).
It's not that I haven't reflected.,The biggest problem with this book is probably in the update.,I've heard a lot of predecessors' suggestions.,Update to be diligent.,People who like fantasy novels like to fatten up in one breath.,A glimpse.,But,I really can't do it.,When the thinking is the clearest.,An hour is only close to 1000 words at most.,Slightly encountering obstacles.,Sometimes two hundred words in half an hour have become extravagant.γ And after the code is finished a chapter,Habitually read it again.,And then modify.,This time has to be counted for an hour.,Sometimes I really feel like I'm not chewing too much.,After all, readers don't account for so much.,But maybe it's because of the character.,I'm afraid this can't be changed.γ
The original intention of writing this book was to be dissatisfied with the desire for routine texts and to be influenced by the author of my favorite online novel, the author's name is Angry Banana, I really like his novels, and even the idea of creating a world of my own because of this.
Of course, these are all digressions, and from the time I start writing, it doesn't matter if the influence of others is not affected.
Another thing worth mentioning is that some readers may feel that the progress of this book is very slow, which should be regarded as a little bit of my literary feelings, I don't want to make the characters in my novel lifeless, so I think of all kinds of daily trivial things to highlight their characters, I don't know what you think, in my conception Vivien is an innocent and very simple girl, such a girl is probably extinct in reality; Isabella is more of a princess who is cornered by all kinds of realities, and wants to make changes but has to compromise, and Lilith, who is conceived based on the strong woman in reality, is strong, shrewd and aggressive, I don't know if you feel this series of ideas, if not, it can probably only be regarded as my own failure.
This is the nonsense I want to say today.,Maybe it's a little long.,I hope the reader Haihan.,Because there aren't many people who see it.,I won't send a single chapter.,Just to offer the sincere apologies of the threshold of the sea blue.γ
