Verse 423: Roman Holiday (1)
As soon as Matilda returned to the palace, she immediately found her sisters: "Mr. Marlin took me to the bottom of the sea to see it!" Matilda, who is currently a two-and-a-half-tailed fox girl, is full of the most sincere joy: "It's so beautiful there."
"We've all been there." The girls replied in unison.
"Hey, when did you go, and why didn't you take me with you?" The fox girl was puzzled.
"Because you felt like you had another ear at that time." The girls continued to answer in unison.
The fox girl was stunned for a moment, then she had no love with a bitter face, and Marin, who was following him, raised her hand and patted her on the head: "Okay, girls, we're going to start exploding next, Lilim, is there any new news from our astrologer lately?" ”
"No, but a new rift has been detected in the Eastern Kingdom, in the Black Zone."
"Looks like the guests can't wait." Marin sighed, then he patted Matilda to comfort himself: "It's okay, I'm just lamenting, fate didn't leave me enough time, if I were given thirty years, I would be able to make the entire western human world stronger, I would be able to stock up on more supplies, we would have more troops, more artillery, more machine guns, we could even try to make the mechanical body fly into the sky, but we didn't have enough time." ”
"It's okay, Marin, we're not going to give in to Chaos." Faye said, sitting beside Nova and looking at Marin.
"I know that without our past, our ancestors have survived the invasion of chaos again and again, and I must think that in the future without us, our descendants will also repel chaos again and again." Speaking of this, Marin looked at his girls with a smile: "Don't worry, we just need to do everything we can, and the rest is for us to break the cycle of fate and completely block the tide of chaos, I hope we can tell our descendants ...... with our deeds." ”
Marin pondered for a moment, and then used a very classic sentence for him: "For the sake of sacrifice and ambition, dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky." ”
"What do you mean by the poems of the Thainans?" Faye looked at Nova, who shook his head: "I don't have much research on the poetry of the Thainanese. ”
"I understand, it means that it is precisely because of the courage and not being afraid of sacrifice that we deserve to change the face of this world." Matilda said, "It's ...... It's a very imposing seven-character word, and Mr. Marin also understands southern Thai culture. ”
"I didn't write it, I wrote it by an ancient man I know, a great man who changed the course of a people in that era and his companions, broke the existing destiny and created a new future for hundreds of millions of lives...... Most importantly, he and we are mortal. ”
"Just listening to the story you said, you can understand that he is a great man, and he is also a mortal." Cross asked, a little surprised.
"In ancient times, there were no righteous gods and chaotic evil gods like Anonymous, and in that era, there was no god system like now." Marin looked at the girls and explained.
"It's amazing." Rievo's dark eyes widened and rounded.
"Yes, it's very powerful," Marin nodded, "So, I need two girls to accompany me to the new city in the afternoon, and I'm going to start planning the new production plant site." ”
"I'm free." Lilim was the first to raise her hand.
"And me." Cross raised her hand a second time.
"Didn't you have an alchemy class today?"
"I'm on leave, I've been teaching alchemy at the local mage tower in a place for most of the year, and I have a headache when I see the materials now, and the lord of the big tower has given me a year off."
Faced with Marin's question, Cross replied dryly.
"Alright, the rest of you and Faye report where you're going, don't go out alone, especially you, Rivo, you're in the afternoon." After confirming the whereabouts of his girls at noon today, Marin saw that Rivo had not answered him for a long time.
"I don't know, my sisters grabbed it too fast." Rivo pursed his lips after speaking, looking a little aggrieved.
"That's one more for you." Marin said as he reached out to catch the little girl who was happily pounced, and grabbed it.
"Is this some kind of ritual?" Nova asked.
"No, it's just a lift." Marin finished answering, and then sat the girl on her wrist - Marin, who is 1.85 meters tall today, is very relaxed about this.
………………
Matilda didn't take a nap, and as a paladin, she had far more energy than her sisters, so she was in charge of checking if the guards in the palace were lazy while the mage girls were napping.
This is what Anonymous Paladins do most often - and when they are not bored, they also like to do the most.
Matilda was very pleased with the good performance of the guards today, and it seems that yesterday's whipping of the lazy worms had taught them the value of loyalty.
Checking at the gate, Matilda saw Luo Yao and Mimian: "Why are you back, didn't you say that you were going to the Grand Opera House to see the opera at noon?" ”
When it comes to opera, Matilda really doesn't like it, inexplicably doesn't like it.
"Marlin is out?" Logan frowned: "That's it, Mimian and I went out for a trip, and when we came back, we crossed the city gate and found that our wallets, passes, and pocket watches were gone." ”
After saying that, the guy also tugged at his collar: "Damn, my collar is broken." ”
"yes, speaking of which, how did your collar come to a tear."
"Who knows, but I must say, how can I be stolen in Rongma, I don't know when the thief stole it, it's terrible." Logan said this as he turned his head to look at his wife, "It's strange that he didn't steal Mimian." ”
"yes, why didn't he steal me." Mimian frowned as he spoke: "I've been chatting with Logan all the way, and I don't have any memory of anyone approaching him at all, just like the night watchman named Starblaze last time, he has no memory at all, and he's alive." ”
"Well, I still have some money here, so I'll lend you first." Matilda said as she pulled out her purse, which was all the rent of the family fiefdom, the annual salary of the paladin, and the pocket money given by Marin.
However, Matilda usually used the rent to buy various farm tools for the use of the farmers who served the family, and the annual salary of the paladin would be donated to a small foundation established between the paladins, and the foundation would compensate the bereaved family every time a companion died in battle.
"That's no, the problem of money is not a problem, our problem now is that we don't have a pass, if we don't go with you when we pass through the city gate, the city guards won't let us go at all, if we can't reissue the pass now, we won't be able to go anywhere."
"Then you guys take a rest first, and then make plans when Sister Nova wakes up?" Matilda asked.
"Of course, I'm going to have a good rest with Mimian now, I'm really angry, the thieves are too much now." After Logan finished speaking, he took Mimian away angrily.
Matilda, who stayed behind, was a little curious.
Logan: What's wrong with this?
