"What a celebration that can't be happier."

In the Dragon City Lord's Mansion, Aya picked up her wine glass, but she couldn't mention the slightest bit of wine. In front of the wine table, there was a burst of laughter, the high-ranking professionals among the Dragon City Guards, the leaders of the surrounding Dragon City and their personal guards...... More than 200 people gathered in the lobby of the Lord's Mansion, which belonged to Bedwell and was located in one of the city's most prosperous areas, but Bedwell preferred to live in the barracks, and the Lord's Mansion was rarely used. However, now, in the deserted mansion, there is a staggered mix of ideas, talking and laughing.

It was a celebratory feast, a celebration of a glorious victory that had just ended. The invincible Bloody Holy Knights of the Holy Light Sect were devastated under the Dragon City City, more than 30,000 people in the Knights were wiped out, the chief and deputy commanders were killed on the spot, and none of the high-level professionals were spared, only a few lucky trash fish escaped, but they were insignificant.

This is perhaps the heaviest loss suffered by the Bloody Holy Knights since their establishment, especially since even a deputy commander was killed here, which is definitely a heartbreaking loss. On the other hand, after this victory, the prestige of Aya and Dragon City was in full swing for a while, and the whole territory of Bretonia trembled, and the sword in the stone in Aya's hand emitted a dazzling light, as if the restoration of royal power.

At this moment, there seemed to be no reason to be unhappy, but whenever she saw the leaders of various forces in the lobby, Aya felt deeply helpless.

It was a glorious victory, and a victory that was completely out of her control, and although a vicious battle under the city solved the great enemy in front of her, it buried deeper hidden dangers. In order to integrate the coalition forces, Wang Lu mobilized more than forty city lords, generals, and regimental commanders overnight in an almost crazy manner, forming a giant alliance, but in return, he made a generous and incredible promise on behalf of Aya.

A federal state without royal power, governed by all powers?

That morning, when Wang Lu reported the results of his work to Aya with a tired body, Aya, who was angry, subconsciously wanted to cut him with a sword

Since she was seriously injured and died more than 100 years ago, she did not hesitate to turn into a heroic spirit, crossed east to Kyushu with an obsession, and returned to her homeland after many hardships, for what? Isn't it possible to rebuild the kingdom and restore the glory of Bretonia? But all of this was destroyed by Wang Lu overnight

Can Bretonia without a knight king still be called Bretonia? Can a country without a supreme leader be called a kingdom? What is the difference between a loosely structured federation and a divided regime? So what's the point of all the hard work she's worked so hard for, no, all of them?

In this regard, Wang Lu did not defend too much: "Trust me. ”

"Trust you?"

"Trust me not to hurt you, believe that I will always be invincible."

"But......" Aya was about to speak, but Wang Lu gently pressed her lips.

"Trust me."

Aya was silent for a long time, and finally didn't say another word, and her green eyes gradually carried firmness and trust.

"Yes, I believe in you, bet on me...... And my homeland, to believe in you. ”

And the trust at that moment turned out to be helplessness at the celebration banquet. The celebratory atmosphere around her couldn't resonate with her, because Aya knew in her heart that when tonight's banquet was over, Dragon City would become the power arena of the entire Bretonian magnates, and that scene would be a headache just by imagining.

Wang Lu, I can really ...... Trust you, right?

Closing her eyes, Aya drank all the wine in her glass, removing all the noise in her ears

Tonight is a night of victory, so let's not think about so many troubles. It's just that I always feel that I have forgotten some important issues in the dark......

At the same time, although there are traces of war everywhere in Dragon City, the festive atmosphere is still overflowing. Most of the shops on the high street have reopened, welcoming hundreds of thousands of troops who have returned triumphantly.

Liuli Xian happily walked on the freshly cleaned streets, holding a handful of skewers in both hands, and the meat was fragrant. Of course, no matter how slender and slender her fingers are, the number of skewers she can catch is limited, so she does not hesitate to use the magic power of the sword, and floats hundreds of skewers in the air as flying swords, and when she is happy, she can pick a string at random and take a bite, full of grease and aroma.

Dragon City's catering industry is an outlier in Bretonia, bringing together gourmets from all over the Xiyi continent to save Dragon City from the desperate situation of food with their characteristic craftsmanship from their hometowns. Of course, the price has always been high, but today is the night of triumph, and Liulixian, as a great hero of victory, is free almost everywhere she goes, not to mention that Wang Lu specially stuffed her with a full money bag and told her to eat until she was satisfied.

Liulixian only felt that the months of hard work in Xiyi had been rewarded the most at this moment. However, after eating the barbecue for a long time, his mouth was a little greasy, so Liulixian had to fly into the air to find a shop that sold cold drinks.

"Cold drinks are available on the left-hand corner of the alley."

Beside him, a gentle voice came into his ears, and Liulixian looked at it, and sure enough, he saw a clear ice drink in an inconspicuous small storefront.

"Thank you." Liulixian swallowed a large piece of fat and was about to buy an ice drink, but when she turned around, she found that the person who kindly reminded her was holding a jade-colored drink and handed it to her. The man appeared to be about thirty-five or sixteen years of age, dressed in a magician's robe, and had an elegant and kind appearance.

"I'm in for a treat."

Liuli Xian shook her head very firmly: "Senior brother said that you can't eat the food given by strangers. ”

The magician smiled, "You bought food from the store, do you know those shopkeepers?" ”

Liulixian was stunned for a moment: "Yes" and then reluctantly let go of his hand and floated the skewers beside him, but he didn't dare to take another bite.

"Don't be so dogmatic...... And, in fact, we've met before. The magician chuckled, and said, "You saved my life in the previous battle. In the scuffle, I was approached by a Shadowwalking Paladin, and I was helpless, but he was killed by a flying sword beast, and I was saved by it. So, I just wanted to thank you for saving your life. But, you probably can't remember a miscellaneous soldier like me, do you? ”

Who knew that Liuli Immortal said seriously: "I remember, you were performing the thundercloud technique at that time. ”

The magician was pleasantly surprised: "You really remember"

"Hehe, my memory has always been very good" Liulixian was very happy.

"In that case, we're not strangers." The magician said, handing the drink in his hand forward, "I'm in for a treat." ”

Liulixian thought for a moment: "It's true, if you're not a stranger, it should be fine" and then took the drink and drank half a cup in one gulp, "By the way, what's your name?" ”

"I'm just a nobody." The magician said, looking around, and changing the subject, "Isn't your senior brother here?" ”

Liuli Xian didn't care whether the other party reported to his family or not, but said, "Senior brother is busy with important things in the City Lord's Mansion." ”

The magician shook his head and said, "On the night of celebration, what is more important than accompanying the heroes?" You are one of the greatest contributors to the victory of the war, how can he let you alone? ”

Liuli Xian didn't understand a little: "I don't know what to say, senior brother always has his reasons for doing things." ”

"Alas, you senior brother, I don't care too much about you."

"No, my brother has always been very good to me." Liulixian smiled sweetly, "Accompany me to practice swords, cook for me, feed me snacks, and almost never reprimand me loudly."

"That's right" The magician was a little surprised, looked at the glass fairy seriously, and said, "You like your senior brother very much?" ”

Liulixian replied frankly: "I like it very much"

"Ha Luha, there are few people in Kyushu who are so straightforward as you. However, since you like him, why don't you fight for it more? ”

Liuli Xian was curious: "What are you fighting for?" ”

"If you like someone, you should work hard to win the other person's like."

Liulixian explained: "But Senior Brother already likes me very much, although he didn't say it, but I can feel it." ”

The magician said, "If he likes you, how can he leave you here alone, and he accompanies the Knight King to drink and have fun?" Obviously, he likes the Knight King more than you. ”

Liuli Xian was stunned for a moment: "Yes." ”

"Aren't you going to do something?"

"Do something?" Liuli Immortal was puzzled, "For what?" ”

"Because only if you do more and better, Senior Brother will like you more and pamper you more. Don't you want that? ”

"Uh......" Liulixian hesitated a little, "But, I don't know what to do, I used to do whatever my senior brother told me to do." ”

"That's why Senior Brother doesn't like you the most, you have to learn to take the initiative." The magician said earnestly, "If you wait for your brother to tell you to do everything, he will like you only a lot." ”

Liulixian said helplessly: "But I don't know what to do." ”

"With your level of intimacy, a small fight is not effective. To do it, you have to make it bigger. The magician said, "Since ancient times, there is nothing that can move people's hearts, move people, and remember them for life than the word sacrifice." ”

"Sacrifice?" Liulixian tilted her head and listened carefully.

"For example, if both of you are poisoned and there is only one antidote, then ......"

Liulixian smiled: "Of course I ate it, senior brother's incomparable merit will not be invaded, and it will be fine."

The magician was silent for a long time, and then said, "Then if you encounter a strong enemy......

"Senior brother will carry it in front."

"Wrong," the magician hated that iron could not be made of steel, "Do you think that your senior brother has a strong defense, so he can do anything?" There are always enemies in the world that he can't beat, and there is always a heavy pressure that he can't bear, so do you want him to carry it in front of you when the time comes? Do you want to hide behind your brother and let him shed his blood and die for you? ”

"So what to do?"

The magician said coldly: "When you need it, you should carry it in front and sacrifice yourself to fight for the chance of survival for your senior brother." ”

"Sacrifice yourself...... Is it? Liulixian was a little confused, but also a little insightful, and her expression gradually became dazed.

"If you really like Senior Brother, you should have the consciousness of sacrificing for him." The magician said, "Only then will you be qualified to be your brother's favorite woman." ”

"Is that so?" Liuli Xian asked in distress, "However, Senior Brother rarely puts us in such a dangerous situation. ”

"There are difficulties to go up, there are no difficulties...... If it is difficult to create, it is also necessary to go up. The magician said lightly, "There are so many strong enemies on the mainland, do you have to provoke your senior brother?" Since your goal is to sacrifice yourself, you should take the initiative to create such opportunities. ”

Liulixian was confused: "I'm sorry, I don't understand well...... I'd better ask my brother. ”

"Wait." The magician stopped her, "If you have discussed this kind of thing with your senior brother in advance, how can you have a surprise?" The reason why you are not his favorite person is because you rely on him for everything, like a child who does not grow up. ”

Liulixian listened and was slightly sad: "Okay, I won't say it." ”

"Well, today's events, you can go back and think about it yourself. But there's no need to tell your brother about meeting me. Trivial things are not worth mentioning, your senior brother has so many things to do, if you use these things to annoy him, he will hate you in his heart if he doesn't say it. ”

Liuli Xian sighed, but she had already lowered her head, and she didn't have the heart to say anything more.

The magician smiled, "Well, I really have no regrets about being able to talk so much to my savior today." So, see you again, Liuli Xian. ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, no longer bothering Liuli Xian, and his figure quickly disappeared into the vast sea of people.

Completely gone, as if it never existed.
