"Am I just a vine......

Jia'er was sullenly soaking in the pool, the warm flowing water caressing her body, but it didn't make her feel better.

Yes, as Luo Luo said, Jia Er is a vine. 14 years old, and 15 years old in a few days, Jia'er used to be an overprotective girl. She is protected by a noble family, and a vine called Dependent Heart grows around the two great trees of her parents. At the top of the canopy, the vine can happily bask in the brightest sunshine and taste the sweetest rain and dew, but none of this is really her own. If there is no power, happiness in troubled times is like a bubble in the stormy waves, bursting and overturning only for a moment.

Sure enough, a cruel storm came, and Fuji's dependence swayed powerlessly in the storm. As a vine, Jia'er just wrapped herself tightly around the tree in the storm, praying to the highest heavens, praying that her dependence would cover her with a piece of the sky.

Her own efforts? What are you kidding, what effort does the vine need. As a result, everything she relied on was destroyed, and her parents swayed in the wind on the side of the road, perhaps they were now part of Titania's army of corpse puppets. She herself was sent to a refugee camp, where she was enslaved and picked up like a commodity.

Once the vine leaves the refuge, it will rot on the ground and be trampled on. Sunshine and rain are the privileges of the strong in troubled times, and there is no place for weak vines to survive in storms. Now, she has wrapped up another big tree, a towering giant tree that rises to the sky and descends into the Yellow Spring.

"Yes, the master will not fall, will not be destroyed by a storm of that magnitude. I can sit back and relax...... But is that really good? Could it be that a vine is a vine, even if it has the power given by its master, even if it has the outfitting of the ship's mother, it can't stand up on its own......"

Jia'er curled up her body unhappily, and the bad sense of powerlessness and humiliation gnawed at her self-esteem. Although Lolo also obeyed Lin Dengwan's command, it was because of her free will and choice, and perhaps even more because of her ambition and desire.

And Jia'er...... She knew that she was clinging to the strong because of fear, she was a vine, and she had no choice but to cling.

"I'm talking stupid again."

In the soaring mist, Lin Dengwan's tall and thin figure loomed. He finally couldn't help but poison 14-year-old Jia'er!?

"Master!"

Jia'er turned her head and wanted to stand up and make a maid salute. But I found myself in a slick bath, so I shrank up shyly.

"I'd prefer you to call me Admiral, if you can. But forget it, it's not that easy to change your tune. Don't worry about what Luo Luo said just now, there is a clash of cultures. ”

"But...... But she was right...... If I can't help my master, if I can't be my master's strength, then ......"

"Do me a favor? You also have your own secrets and what you want to do, right? ”

"The hosts! You! Are you doubting my loyalty? “

Jia'er's words were full of grievances, frustration, and even a bit of panic when she was seen through.

Her emotions were quite intense, and she even stood up from the water in annoyance. The burning anger diluted the shame, and the green body lit up in front of Lin Dengwan's eyes. Although the fog lingered in the bathroom, the light that should have been seen was still seen.

It's a pity that her bumpy figure is still too green and doesn't match Lin Dengwan's appetite.

"No, people will be half-hearted, and the key is that consensus outweighs disagreement. I don't trust verbal loyalty, I care more about what you want. ”

Lin Dengwan approached the bath, squatted down, and made eye contact with Jia'er in the bath. Through the lenses, Jia Er could see that his dark eyes were full of sincerity.

Strange to say, even though the bathroom was full of water vapor, Lin Dengwan's lenses were still clear and transparent.

"I ...... I just wanted to do something for my master, I hope ......"

Under the pressure of sincere and friendly eyes, Jia'er's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was like a mosquito humming, faintly inaudible. "Yes, I want revenge, because someone destroyed everything I cherished. For this, I want to be empowered. I'm a rattan, but I'm not just a rattan anymore. My roots will dig into the bark of the tree, hungry for nutrients, and when I'm strong enough, I'll ......."

How can you say such ungrateful and self-centered words!

Jia'er held back for a long time and didn't say anything. Lin Dengwan didn't care, his brows only frowned slightly, and then he relaxed with relief.

"Anyway, you're no longer alive in a mess, it's better to have a goal than nothing. I understand your eagerness to gain power, but there are many things that cannot be rushed. What you want is right there, ten years...... No, it will be there for twenty years or even longer. ”

"But ......"

"Hmph~"

Lin Dengwan smiled and flicked Jia'er's forehead, and he was very happy to see the girl covering her forehead and selling cuteness.

"And you're young, aren't you?"

"I'm not small! There are so many girls who are mothers at my age! ”

"Oh...... But you don't even have a hair...... Tsk, there are really a few of them. ”

Lin Dengwan looked down badly, and Jia'er immediately understood.

"Yikes! Dislike! The host is really H! “

Jia'er found out that she was actually talking to Lin Dengwan for a long time, which was too shy.

Jia'er was sad to find that the owner didn't react to her body at all, which was so infuriating!

"Nasty!"

"Whoa!"

Hot water was poured on Lin Dengwan, dousing him like a chicken in soup.

"Hahaha, this is my girl. Seeing that you are so energetic, I am relieved. ”

Lin Dengwan wiped his face, laughed and walked out of the bathhouse, leaving the embarrassed Jia'er to shrink into the water and spit bubbles.

As soon as he came out of the bathroom, Linden bumped into Artoria wearing a towel and underwear.

After discussing the issue of the Governor's receipt with Lyndenwan and Loro, Artoria went to practice the sword. Now she is trying to relieve her fatigue with hot water.

But don't look at her only wearing intimate clothing, but Linden Wan didn't receive any benefits. The panties of this plane are egg-sore like bloomers, covering the entire thighs and only tightening at the knees, and the real fat or anything is not seen at all. And the underwear is not a BRA, but a white shirt.

"Isn't this Miss Sheriff? It just so happens that Jia'er is also inside, you go in and wash it together, maybe there will be a favorite bathroom plot to unfold. ”

"Uh...... Lord Lindenwan, I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

It's strange that people from the Middle Ages in the other world can understand this mess.

Ever since Linden took over the town's council chambers and bathhouses, Artoria was the only "big man" who dared to come and take a bath. Although she didn't have much time to contact, she had basically figured out what kind of person Lin Dengwan was. She felt that it was unlikely that she would be turned into a frog by this strange hero.

"Oh, that's just my little expectation. Don't care. ”

"Uh...... Did you take a shower with Jia'er? ”

As he spoke, Artoria subconsciously moved away from him a little. Although 14 years old is already a legal age in this world, and it is not a big deal to overthrow a maid as a master, Artoria, who has learned a little medical knowledge, is very disgusted by this kind of behavior. This kind of practice of only caring about one's own desires (river crabs) is very (river crab) eggs, and can cause serious harm to women who are not yet mature.

"No, I talked to her, and she splashed me with water in the face ...... very unhappily"

Artoria looked at Lindenwan's well-dressed clothes and nodded, accepting his statement.

"Well, trust you."

Trust your sister...... Do you want labor to believe? To my wife, I can make you believe in it.

However, he resisted the urge to say something indecent and put on a serious expression.

"We'll set off the day after tomorrow and head in the direction of Laneri."

He was talking about the Doge's commission, and he believed that in Lane there would be everything he and the pirates wanted.

"Heavenly City Lanari? What to do there, the Governor's commission to us was...... What do you mean...... That's impossible! I don't believe the clergy would do such a thing! ”

Lin Dengwan pursed his lips, and suddenly brought his face closer to Artoria, staring at the delicate face of the female sheriff.

"You! What are you doing! ”

"Look at the face of a beautiful woman."

"You! Shameless! ”

Although Artoria lived in the countryside for a long time, she did not get into the vulgarity of the market, and she did not learn a few words of swearing. However, in Lin Dengwan's opinion, such a cold style of sheriff is quite a big problem - he is not down-to-earth in doing things at the grassroots level, no wonder the local tyrants in the village can hide it from her under her nose.

"Want to hear what I have to say?"

"Huh?"

Artoria's face flushed slightly in surprise. Even if she is a female sheriff and a female knight, she is still a woman in the end, at least for now, she will still have the shyness she should have.

"Well, the tip of your nose is a bit blackheaded."

“……”

Artoria already had the urge to draw his sword and kill the thing.

"Hey, don't get excited. You see, such a beautiful and refreshing Altoria has black heads, not to mention the powerful and deep-rooted Holy See. ”

"What do you mean...... The black sheep? ”

"Whether there is a black sheep or not, you have to confirm it yourself, if you don't investigate, you won't have the right to speak, and you can make up for it based on subjective impressions, that's what only island countries will do."

“……”

Before Lin Dengwan said the words, he couldn't wait to give himself a slap, isn't Britun an island country!

"Ahem, in other words, a small country with few people, short knowledge, only judge by their own experience......"

Looking at Artoria's increasingly unkind eyes, Lin Dengwan felt that he should still find a piece of tofu and kill his head. Vierce is really a small country and a widow!

"In short, the only people around who are qualified to do that kind of thing are the priests of Heavenly City."

"What about motivation?"

"The motive needs to be investigated by ourselves, but it is not wrong to go there and look it up. Thanks to the avenue built by the Empire, even with your legs, it won't take long to get there. ”

"Okay. But Lord Lindenwan, I have a suggestion. ”

"Please. I'm a very humble person, and I can ...... the opinions of vulgar people."

It's over, and it's offended again.

"Lord Lindenwan, silence is golden!"

“……”
