If you don't die, you won't die.

The ancients did not deceive me.

Just as I was smiling lewdly and just putting my eyes on the keyhole, intending to enjoy the moment in a voyeuristic way, Emily happened to push the door open.

At that moment, in my field of vision, there was no smooth whiteness, no moving slenderness, only darkness and countless stars shining.

"Huh?"

A pleasant puzzle was Emily's voice: "What's wrong?" ”

I covered my eyes and couldn't stop wailing: "Ahh My eyes! My eyes! ”

"What's wrong with him?"

Emily asked again.

"He just smiled evilly, and went to the bathroom door," the elven queen's voice paused, and added, "Maybe it's to spy on you bathing." ”

"Voyeurism?"

Emily's voice was filled with disgust.

After the bird, you want to die, you want to die, you want to die, your Majesty, you can't talk so bluntly?

Isn't it good to be tactful?

I wanted to cry without tears, I was afraid that I would inevitably be beaten violently.

After rolling for a while, the soreness in my eyes gradually disappeared, and there was no sharp pain in my body, and I squinted my eyes in confusion to find that the Elven Empress and Emily were sitting at the table, looking at me with the expressions of the crowd of onlookers.

"Uh......"

I sat up from the ground with a grunt, and I was slightly embarrassed.

"Finished rolling?" Emily's voice was still lukewarm: "Get up and eat." ”

"Oh," I answered, got up from the ground honestly, straightened the folds of my clothes, and sat down across from the two women.

I saw the Elven Empress staring at me with a strange expression, and her soft cheeks that could be broken by blowing were tense and trembling slightly.

This expression looked familiar to me, and it was the result of wanting to laugh but trying to suppress it.

"What's wrong with you?" Puzzled, I leaned over to the Empress.

Burst!

She couldn't hold it back anymore and sprayed me with saliva on my face.

I wiped my face, I was quite depressed in my heart, I laughed if I wanted to laugh, why should I hold it, since I was sure that I wanted to hold it, I held it well, why did I finally get deflated and spray my face.

Fortunately, I haven't moved my chopsticks yet.

While secretly rejoicing, I took the towel from the maid's hand, only to find that the maid was also smiling hard.

What's the situation?

Is it World Laughter Day?

I glanced at the maid suspiciously, but the maid couldn't hold back, and I was sprayed in the face again.

......

My heart is so sad, forget it, don't wipe it.

Just as my depression had risen to the point of collapse, the maid hobbled and brought me a mirror from the bathroom—she had already lost her strength from laughing, and if it weren't for the dwarf's natural good constitution, I am afraid she would not even have the strength to stand.

I took the mirror and glanced at it, and I was stunned for a moment.

Who is he?

Is it me?

What's going on with this Nima?

I was shocked by a mirror, and I doubted my life, and I couldn't help but ask three questions.

In the mirror, when did the originally sunny and beautiful boy wear a thick layer of smoky makeup?

Or is it one-eyed smoke?

Wrong!

This Nima is not smoky!

It's - bump out bruises!

Depend on!

I couldn't peep, but I was knocked into a single eye, which is a big stain on my life!

I hid my face and wept, feeling shameless.

On the other side, Emily's voice sounded faintly, like a breeze: "Don't cover it, since you are peeping, you have to bear the consequences, and besides, what is there to peep at, if you want to see it, come in and see it directly, why sneak around?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing Emily say this, I instantly came to my senses: "So, I can see you bathing in the bright light in the future?" ”

"Of course not," said Emily, "at least the scars I hit you on the door are more subtle than the door, and no one will find them." ”

Beaten by you?

It's better to get hit by a door!

Although the door crash hurts, it is not fatal, and if you beat it, it is impossible to say whether you can survive it alive.

God knows, if you're going to make beating me a daily workout.

A meal is speechless.

After the meal, I sent the maids away with a bag of gold coins, and then returned to the living room, where I sat down opposite the Elven Empress and Emily.

After being silent for more than ten minutes, the Elven Empress was the first to speak, "I always thought that the goblin assistance team was your personal asset. ”

Her words were mostly resentful and a little dissatisfied, especially the resentful look, like an awkward little daughter-in-law.

"I never said it was my personal asset," I said, "I just emphasize that they are my subordinates and only listen to my transfers, but I also have a boss, and Master Dewey is my boss." ”

Sighing deeply, the empress's face remained resentful: "What do you say I should do?" ”

I put on a 'none of my business' expression and said, "You're the Empress, you call it your way." ”

"I'm asking for your advice," the Elven Empress said slightly, "Elder An Xiaoyi! ”

"My advice ......"

Subconsciously glanced at Emily and found that she was leisurely leaning against the sofa, her eyes empty and in a daze.

Clearing my throat, I continued, "My advice is to say yes. ”

"Promise what?" The Elven Empress asked.

"A: Assist the team in exchange for wood."

The Elven Empress smiled and said, "How many years do you think this team can exchange for wood supplies?" ”

"The longer the better," I said, "preferably a hundred years and a thousand years." ”

The Elven Empress smiled, her smile full of anger: "An Xiaoyi, are you playing with the interests of Moonlight City?" ”

"Child's play?" I shook my head: "You misunderstood, I didn't despise the interests of Moonlight City, this is the result of serious consideration. ”

"Have you seriously thought about the results?" The Elven Empress stopped laughing, her expression was serious: "Then I really want to hear it, your opinion!" ”

"Actually, the Empress," I smiled, "and the team I'm talking about is not just a member of this team, but just the number of this team. ”

The empress's eyes sank slightly, and after about a minute, she suddenly opened her eyes, with light in her eyes, and said, "Go on." ”

"Yes" I said: "People will pass away, but the number will not, as long as the goblin assists the team to stay in Moonlight City, Moonlight City can continue to move forward steadily, even if the team personnel are replaced, it will only bring more cutting-edge technology, and Moonlight City has to pay, only those inexhaustible, and usually useless wood, do you think, such a deal, Moonlight City suffers?" ”

The empress pondered for a few seconds and said, "If the transaction can really go on in this way, it is true that it will not suffer a loss, but how can you guarantee that the members who will be replaced in the future must be elite talents who have mastered cutting-edge technology?" ”

"There are many ways," I said: "You can compare the comprehensive strength of the two countries through the intelligence agency, or you can give a period of time to see if their scientific research and invention are lagging behind the scientific research and invention of the previous personnel, of course, the most obvious way is to carry out a drill every once in a while, so that similar scientific research products can be practiced, so that you can not only get more accurate data, but also know where the shortcomings are." ”
