Chapter 1699: Cagalli's Worries
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day, near noon, I went to Cecil's teahouse, asked him and his wife out, and had a meal together at a nearby tavern, during which I told Tachibana about the idea of creating an intelligence organization.
After hearing this, Tachibana Jiemei said with a smile: "I know what the benefactor means, that is, as long as we are willing to do things for the benefactor wholeheartedly, whether we are born in prosperous times or in troubled times, we have a guarantee of survival, I don't know if the little girl understands correctly?" ”
"Your understanding is completely correct," I said: "The situation in the Zephyr Continent is unstable now, and the forces of all parties are ready to move, and there is no telling when there will be a war because of what kind of friction, in order to ensure peace, it is better to make plans first, and the province was caught off guard by a sudden accident." ”
Tachibana Jiemei sighed for a while, and said with an apologetic smile: "What the benefactor said is, but outside the male protagonist and inside the female protagonist, I only take care of the teahouse business, and as for those major events that determine the direction of fate, it is still up to Cecil to decide." ”
I nodded and said, "It's okay, after all, Cecil is well-informed, and his vision and thinking mode are different from those of others, so he will probably choose the route that makes the most sense." ”
After that, I took a sip of wine, groaned slightly, and said: "In this case, I won't say more, there have been a lot of family affairs recently, I will go back to Moonlight City tomorrow, if you think about it, let me know." ”
Cecil and Tachibana both agreed.
After the meal, we said goodbye at the door.
After that, I went all the way back to the New Valorant Guild, spent the whole day in the office with Jin Siqi, and that night, we had a candlelit dinner together on a magic airship.
The next morning, after breakfast with Jin Siqi, I boarded the magic airship and left Dasai City.
When he returned to Moonlight City, it was already late at night, so he stayed on a magic airship for the night, and only in the early morning of the next day did he get off the airship and go home.
Pushing open the door, a familiar aroma came to the face, everyone was happily eating breakfast, and when she saw me returning, Florence got up and planned to go to the kitchen to get an extra pair of chopsticks, but I stopped her.
"Thank you," I said, "I've had breakfast on the airship before, and I'm full now." ”
Florence sat down again and resumed her breakfast.
I leaned the knife aside, found a place on the couch, and lay down comfortably while exhaling.
Cagalli turned her head and said, "Why do you look relieved?" ”
I raised my eyelids lazily and said, "I'm just tired, ah, it's better to be at home, comfortable, and lie down as much as you want." ”
"Hmph," Barbara said angrily, "I thought you'd come back later!" ”
Me: "? ”
Yura laughed on the side: "She's eating Jin Siqi's vinegar, but it's no wonder, who told you to leave home for so many days, and you didn't even have a phone call." ”
Touching the call crystal in my pocket, I sighed lightly and said: "I've been busy these days, and the occasion I'm in every day is not suitable for using call crystals, I can't talk sweetly to you in front of the orc king, that won't be laughed at by the orc king." ”
"I don't believe you've been with the Orc King all day!" Barbara said indignantly.
"Well," I said, "but it's usually late at night after you're done, and calling you at this time will disturb your rest." ”
"There are so many excuses!" Barbara glared at me hatefully, picked up a white fish, and chewed it viciously, as if she were chewing my flesh.
After the meal, everyone was getting ready to go, and suddenly Cagalli said: "Give everyone a double bonus today and rest for a day." ”
With that, he went back to his room, took out a small bag of gold coins, and put it on the coffee table.
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding Cagalli's intentions, but they didn't dare to ask, they looked at each other several times, and Barbara got up, divided the gold coins in the bag one by one, and then went about their own business.
Cagalli winked at me and hurried back to her room.
I followed and entered the room, but wondered, what was she going to do?
After closing the door, Cagalli looked straight and said, "Xiao Yi, tell me, is the current situation in Dasai City very bad?" ”
I was taken aback by her unprepared behavior, and then smiled: "You are worried about your parents, don't worry, Dasai City is still safe." ”
She stared at her beautifully, and said word by word: "What you said is true?" ”
"How could I lie to you," I patted her on the back and comforted, "At present, it is only the border of Dasai City that is infested by some wandering adventurers, well, more seriously, it is a mine in the public area that has been occupied by thieves, but now that the old duke has led his troops over, it will not be long before these problems can be solved." ”
Cagalli was still worried, and said, "This is going to be an army?" Isn't there a need to be a little more cautious? Will it cause a war? ”
"Whether it will cause a war, I don't know" I shook my head and said: "But this march should still be very cautious, after all, the old duke is old, not only good at fighting, but also knows how to use troops, and before this encirclement and suppression operation, the intelligence agency of Dasai City has also made great efforts to sort out the details of the location of the accident and all the surrounding situations, and hand them over to the orc king and the old duke. ”
Cagalli breathed a sigh of relief, touched her chest with her hand, and said lightly: "Really, it scared me, I thought something big had happened in Dasai City!" ”
As she spoke, she glanced at me and said, "It's all your fault, I just looked exhausted, and I misunderstood!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes," I apologized repeatedly: "It's me who is wrong and makes you worried." ”
"But," Cagalli's face was slightly gloomy, and she said, "I really didn't expect that there would be thieves who would dare to invade the territory of Dasai City, could it be that they look down on the strength of our orcs?" ”
"Perhaps," I chimed in.
"No, that's not right!" Cagalli's face suddenly became solemn, and said: "I'm afraid it won't be so simple, I remember that the last time I suppressed bandits on a large scale was when I was young, and those thieves couldn't have forgotten the strength of Dasai City so quickly!" ”
Speaking of this, she was slightly nervous, clenched her fists with both hands, and said, "I guess there is fraud in this, I'm afraid those thieves are not real thieves, but some hostile elements in disguise!" ”
Speaking of this, Cagalli suddenly turned to me and said seriously: "Xiao Yi, you go and inform Your Majesty to cancel this operation!" ”
Wow, this girl's political sense is really keen!
After a few seconds of eye contact with her, I burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Cagalli wondered.
"I'm laughing at you."
"How hearty am I?" Cagalli dissatisfied: "Do you think what I said is wrong? ”
"No, I think you're talking a lot, it's just" I paused and continued, "You can think of these questions, do you think the Orc King and the Old Duke would not think of them?" ”
