After wandering outside for a long time, Merlin finally regained his thoughts and began to reconsider the question of the ideal country.

“…… The Alliance is now caught in a two-front dilemma, secretly intensifying its pursuit of the radical terrorist/terrorist group Ideal State, and on the other hand, it has to confront the already powerful Rocket Corps in a vain attempt to challenge authority. It stands to reason that this kind of time is just the right time for those who are capable to seek their own interests, whether it is to help the fist one or two to earn gratitude and gain status when the alliance is struggling, or to take advantage of the alliance to be independent when there is no time for others to take care of it. I just don't know how Na thinks about it, is she going to continue to let the capable people cling to the wings of the Alliance, seek gradual autonomy and continue to standby, or take this opportunity to part ways with the Alliance and stand on her own? ”

"Continuing to play with the alliance is definitely an easier way to do it, without making too many sacrifices and risks, and without worrying about being on the wrong side. But in that case, the benefits will be very small, and our position will eventually be as unembarrassing as it is now, and we will continue to rely on others to let others drive us. ”

"And choose to be independent. If you choose to go against the alliance, it will undoubtedly be an egg to hit a stone, and Nazi doesn't seem to have a good impression of them who are doing evil, so it is probably unlikely. If you choose to continue to cooperate with the Alliance, your position will be more awkward and dangerous, and the wrath of the Alliance will be predictable once you break away from the nominal master-slave relationship. At such times, independence is tantamount to betrayal......"

There is a saying that "Xiucai rebels for three years", to the effect that people who read and have some knowledge often fail to do things because they look ahead and look ahead, have too many scruples, and have many ideas. Now Merlin is practicing the truth of this saying. Although sometimes it's not a bad thing to think about it, more often than not, people still need a little courage.

Merlin tries to plan for the organization of the capable as a capable person, to grab more benefits for the future home he belongs to in this turbulent era, and to seek greater benefits for his own organization...... Although it is very utilitarian and realistic, it also makes him feel a little uncomfortable, but when he thinks of a certain figure, and when he thinks of the big family he can have in the future, Merlin feels high-spirited.

“…… Well, sorting out these thoughts and passing them on to Nazi can be regarded as a reference for her. Merlin, who was getting more and more energetic, flipped out of his handheld computer and began to code words frantically, turning his fleeting thoughts into characters.

After working for most of the day, Merlin finally finished what he was thinking when the night was already dark, sorted it out and sent it straight to the mailbox of the lacquer, asking him to sort it out on paper and then hand it over to Nazi.

After completing this temporary work, Merlin stood up and stretched his limbs, "Suddenly I don't want to continue special training here......" While doing stretching exercises while looking at the bright moonlight, Merlin muttered: "Forget it, the training plan is canceled, and tomorrow we will leave for Red Lotus, go there to soak in the hot springs and relax, and then go to the sea for training." ”

In this way, Merlin decided on his next destination with a slap on his head. As for the previous plan and the purchase of reserves, what to do? Rest assured, those things can't be changed into quality.

Hurriedly erecting the tent, Merlin went straight into it and slept in his clothes.

Dead Leaves City in the morning.

Yesterday's attack has shrouded the place in a gloomy fog, and Merlin, who is riding a bicycle through the central city, can sometimes hear the cries, sorrows, and sobs of children, adults, and the elderly. Attacking during a crowded event, the Ideal Country has caused wounds that will never heal to many families this time. Some of their family members are permanently disabled, some will never return, and some are close to extinction or even real extinction.

Riding all the way, passers-by had gloomy faces, many of them had red and swollen eyes, and most of them were lost and listless.

As a witness to the attack, Merlin felt uncomfortable walking in this low and mournful atmosphere, and he couldn't help but speed up and increase his strength to flee from here.

Speeding all the way to the docks of the liaison ships that connect the islands, ports and other parts of the world to the major ports of the islands, ports and other parts of the world, Merlin did not even dare to stop and catch his breath.

Coming here, the atmosphere has finally eased somewhat.

The relatively shabby liaison ship dock, also located in Sai Wan, does not seem to have been affected much by yesterday's attack, although some of the moored liaison ships and passenger ships still bear some traces of injuries on their hulls, and the facilities on the pier also clearly bear the scars of the war, but whether it is the sailors and crew busy on the dock or the owners and clerks in the nearby shops, they seem to be in a good mood.

At least it's much better than the previous situation when the whole city was sad and the whole city was in tears, but they just seemed a little absent-minded and palpitating. It is clear that they are more frightened and saddened by the attack itself. And the object of this sadness is not their beloved.

Somewhat relieved, Merlin jumped off his bicycle to put it away, and walked to the terminal on the side of the road to check the ship's schedule.

He was fortunate that the next regular liaison ship bound for Red Lotus Island to Red Lotus City, the Chengfeng, would set sail in half an hour, and there were just as few tickets available, albeit in first class.

Merlin immediately went to the ticket vending machine not far away to buy a ticket, although he went straight to find the berth where the Chengfeng was berthed.

Passing by a newsstand on the way, he bought seven or eight copies of the latest newspapers, and after a few quick glances, almost all of the newspapers, whether city or regional, reported on the events of the dead leaf city on the front page, and even one newspaper facing the whole world left a lot of ground on the front page for the dead leaf tragedy. It's just that the newspaper reports all described the dead leaf tragedy as a "wild Pokémon riot".

After a hasty glance at the headlines and subheadlines of several newspapers, Merlin was furious, and he was determined to throw away all the false statements made by the official mouthpiece, but after thinking that there might not be any entertainment at sea, it was better to save them for time. "It's time to see what they talk nonsense." Merlin muttered softly, folding and rolling the newspapers and stuffing them into his pocket.

Under the guidance of a sturdy young boatman who was repairing the hull, Merbayashi found the Chengfeng that was about to set sail. Looking at it from afar, he was immediately attracted by this magnificent ship. When he got closer, this beautiful ship made Merlin sigh even more.

"Dead leaves are still a big deal. Civilian liaison ships are so advanced, so what will more advanced sightseeing passenger ships, yachts, and cruise ships look like? With that, Merlin began to look at the other ships moored nearby. "Although I don't know much about ships and the like, the guys moored here are much more advanced than the ones I've seen before." ”

With a little sigh, Merlin showed his ticket to board the Chengfeng and was ushered into the cabin by a waitress with a sweet smile on her face.

According to the time on the ticket, the Chengfeng that will leave the port at 9 a.m. on August 4 will arrive at the port of Honglian City before noon on the 7th. This is already a relatively long journey.

Therefore, there are all kinds of facilities on the Chengfeng Ship, including cabins of all levels for passengers to rest, restaurants with food and drink, and activity rooms with leisure and entertainment facilities. On the way, the waitress even mentioned that there were small arenas for trainers and nurses on board - both in the open on deck and in the enclosed spaces in the cabins - for the people on board to meet.

After listening to the waiter's introduction and being ushered into his own single cabin, which was not too cramped, Merlin sighed again: "This is a small cruise ship." Looking around at the very warm and compact first-class cabin, "It's worth the fare." He nodded in satisfaction.

When money is plentiful, he generally spends sparingly, both to his companions and to himself.

"Who's going to come out and enjoy a sailing trip?" Merlin asked his companions. The partners responded either coldly or positively.

Soon, Caimen, Dark, and Reiko were all in the cabin. Caimen, who had never seen the sea, climbed directly into the porthole and looked at the rippling ocean yearningly, as if he had seen the sea, but Dark, who wanted to blow the sea breeze, urged Merlin to go to the deck to see the scenery, as for Lingzi, it directly occupied Merlin's bed, lying on it beautifully, and lazily arguing to eat fruit Yunyun.

"Fruit, I have it in my backpack." Merlin untied his backpack and threw it to the bedside, "You can help me guard the backpack in my room, and I'll take them around the boat." After a few words of command, Merlin called Caimen and Dark, who had been looking forward to it, to prepare to leave.

[Don't leave me alone~~] Lingzi screamed before Merlin closed the door.

"Then leave Nightingale and Antri with you." Merlin untied the two balls behind his waist and released the other two girls, "What about Lavi, do you want to be with them?" It's kind of a secret time for you girls. He gently scratched the pendant on his chest with his fingers.

The trumpet, Lavi, jumped out of her original form, first jumped onto Merlin's shoulder and rubbed his chin a few times, and then jumped into the cabin to attend the ladies' party.

"Don't eat too many snacks, if you need anything, just call the waiter and bring it in." Merlin said a few more words, "Contact me if there is any situation." ”

The four ladies signaled Merlin to reassure.

"Don't be too crazy." Waving at them, Merlin turned and closed the door.

"Next." Merlin glanced up at the clock embedded in the wall, "It's a few minutes before we set sail, so let's go around first." As he spoke, he led Caimen and Duck for a casual stroll.

Just as Merlin was reading the menu in the dining room, a huge whistle sounded, and a sweet female voice sounded on the radio in the cabin: "Passengers, the Ride of the Wind has set sail." We are leaving the home port of dead leaves and heading towards Red Lotus Island. The captain and all the crew and staff of the Captain Riding the Wind wish all our valued passengers a pleasant journey at sea, and we will be together for the next 80 hours or so......"

With the sound of the announcement, the hull shook slightly a few times and then started, officially starting the next journey at sea.
