Chapter 65: A Brief Respite
Just the day after the dragon attacked Perth, the queen's precise orders reached Perth. The two hedrons were placed in the treasury, after all, such a hedron of great purity and weight seemed to have a greater strategic value than its commercial value. Of course, in addition to this, the queen did not leave a hand to the people in dire straits, and with a wave of her hand, a large amount of money that was better than the spar valuation was quickly disbursed, and at the same time, there were all kinds of engineering and urban planning experts, which can be said to be a neat lineup and full of fighting spirit.
Even so, restoring badly damaged streets and buildings is not an easy task. What's more, the next step of the association could come at any time - Estelle and her friends, convinced of this, had to bury their heads in the mountains of work, while secretly watching for the association's movements.
If it weren't for the fact that the Association was known to be an illegal organization that would do whatever it took to achieve its goals, it would have been possible to think that the Association would have been embarrassed to do so during this period of peace. Parsons managed to get on the right track, and instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver the fatal blow, the association seemed to disappear overnight. Although I wondered, it was a good thing after all, and because of this, everyone's work efficiency has improved a lot.
"Thank you, Haliga." In the mayor's office, Mabel smiled as he said that Heliga had just sent him his next city planning report. This kind of copywriting work is very testing of people's patience and carefulness, and Estelle and others don't know anything about it. Eventually, at the behest of Klos and others, Helliga took on tasks such as housekeeping. Of course, Olivier is also very good at these jobs, but he naturally refuses on the grounds that "it's too boring to stay in the office all day", and even the mayor of Mabel lures him with a promise of a bottle of red wine worth 500,000 meters that he was once imprisoned for stealing. Therefore, the mayor had no choice but to abandon the idea.
"Ah, you're welcome." Anyway, it's not an important statistic, it's just a chore—it's still quite easy for him. And he has long been accustomed to soaking in his father's study and various research rooms, and he has long been familiar with these jobs.
"Today is the last day. After that, I will coordinate the work, and the people sent by the queen will carry it out...... Thank you so much for your help, especially you, Helliga...... Lila she ......, "Mabel's gratitude to Heliga is not without reason, because the young man in front of him not only saved her and Lila, who is a brother and sister to her, but also provided him with great convenience in his work.
"Hey, thank you so much." Heiliga still politely excused himself, and suddenly his eyes rolled and he remembered something, "Speaking of Miss Lila...... She's almost healed, isn't she? ”
"Hmm. The church has helped her a lot, and she can now walk around the ground for a long time. She also wanted to help take care of my daily life, but I refused. Mabel said with some grumbling, "It's all Agaté's fault, if he hadn't scared Lila, maybe Lila would have recovered faster." ”
"He's just that kind of person." Heliga persuaded that he knew what Mabel was referring to - during the busy period, the Guerrilla Society had received a commission from an old woman from the Autonomous Region of Leman to find her niece Renee, who had been separated from her during the Hundred Days War. This kind of task is naturally like a mud cow entering the sea for ordinary people, and there is no trace of it, but Agaté, as a black and white all-encompassing, and extremely familiar to the local people, is not an ordinary person. He soon discovers the truth: Mabel's personal maid, Lila, who works part-time as a secretary, is the niece that the old man is looking for.
However, after the devastation of the war, Lila was deeply wounded, and even after Mabel's father, the former mayor, gradually regained herself, she never spoke of her secret.
Lila had been scared of that scene, afraid to see her loved ones. Faced with this situation, Agaté, who had just woken up from self-deception, ignored it and gave Lila a good drink, and finally let her put down her burden and meet her relatives.
And it is worth mentioning that since then, Mabel's eyes on Agaté have also changed. Although everyone was embarrassed to ask for various reasons, Heliga had already taken advantage of the small talk in the past few days to ask the matter clearly. It turned out that during the war, Agaté had been killed by stray bullets in his and his sister's home, and Mischa had been running between the army and the mayor's house for a long time. He couldn't understand why the mayor and the army had done nothing at home, watching the people he protected being killed in the war.
In response to Agaté's questioning, the mayor who was already dying at that time, Mabel's grandfather, could only say in the end that he would compensate his village with a part of the compensation money after the surrender of the imperial army.
At that time, Mabel was still young, and she saw her grandfather's hard work and the pressure on her body in her eyes and hurt in her heart; And Agaté's rude and rude behavior undoubtedly angered Mabel. Without saying a word, she slapped Agaté hard; That's when the two of them got started.
However, time flies, so many years have passed, and the two are no longer the hairy boys and impulsive girls they were back then. Mabel really took over the burden of mayor, observing this society as a high-ranking person, experiencing human suffering, and she gradually understood how desperate and unwilling Agaté was at that time; And Agaté also came into contact with all kinds of people and affairs after taking the path of a guerrilla, and after stepping out of the shadow of Misha, he finally fully understood the painstaking work of the old mayor. There is nothing difficult about the original personalities of the two, and under the catalytic effect of the Lila incident, a special affection arises between the two.
Of course, an idiot like Agat, who has muscles in his head, naturally knows nothing about these things. Therefore, Heiliga usually ridiculed Mabel and asked her to take the initiative to launch an offensive, which embarrassed the latter for a while.
“…… Mr. Haliga? Mabel's voice brought the boy out of his memory, "Did you hear me just now?" ”
"Ah...... Sorry, something comes to mind. Heliga prevaricated casually, "Well, could you please repeat that?" ”
"Hmm. Absolutely. It's just that there is no sense of surprise in this way......" Mabel was a little helpless, but still took out a few beautifully made cards in his hand, and the pattern on them looked more like some kind of ticket.
"What is this?"
"This is a famous tourist destination in the kingdom...... A three-day hospitality ticket at the lakeside inn "Kawa Cicada-tei". Falling behind at the end of a busy schedule...... I hope you can rest and recharge your batteries...... Of course, it's all up to me. Mabel said with a smile.
