Volume 1: Pride Chapter 54: Thank you for the compliment
Although the mercenaries on the forest camp have all returned to the barracks, Xiao Yueluo at this moment did not go to the barracks, in addition to not wanting to go on the one hand, there is also ......
It was still the pavilion in the courtyard, Xiao Yueluo sat on the stone bench with a teacup in her hand, and took a sip before slowly speaking.
"So...... What are you trying to do with me this time? ”
"I said, you have a look of disgust before I speak...... Did I recruit you or did I provoke you? ”
Navis was a little speechless, but it was the person he came to find, and it was hard to say anything if he was disliked.
"You didn't recruit me or mess with me, but you naturally ...... because you saw your fake smile."
"Stop! Stop! Stop! A pause gesture interrupted Xiao Yueluo's unfinished words, and then Navis sat back on the stone bench and looked at the person in front of him for a while before saying, "I'm not here to quarrel with you this time, even if I have a mocking face, please wait for me to finish speaking." ”
Navis said it seriously, and Xiao Yueluo also restrained the smile on her face when she saw this: "What's the matter?" ”
"Questions about what you're going to do when you go to the boot camp this time, and...... The mercenaries needed to get the supplies they needed to go to the eastern defense. ”
Navis knocked on the table, seeing that Xiao Yueluo only frowned but did not speak, and then pondered for a while before continuing to speak: "But don't worry, I have prepared the material support for the mercenaries, and I have just contacted the personnel regarding equipment maintenance, all you have to do is to organize them, I think this should not be difficult for you." ”
"It's not that hard."
Xiao Yueluo nodded, and then looked at Navis with a "you go on" expression.
"As for the Fingreen Barracks...... Navis crossed his fingers to support his head, and his voice suddenly became a little low, "Over there at the Fringlin Barracks, be careful after you go, although the intelligence does not say that the existence of mutant beasts has been discovered, but it is too close to the defense line, and there may be an accident at any time." ”
Although Navis didn't need to tell him so much with Xiao Yueluo's ability, as long as he put his mind on it in the past two days, he would be a little flustered, as if something bad was about to happen.
"I see."
Even if Navis doesn't say it, the first thing she does when she enters the barracks is to check for hidden dangers. After all, she still knows this by sailing carefully on the ship of ten thousand years.
"Well, the next thing is the logistical supply of the recruits, do you have any ideas yourself?"
"Half-on-the-ground...... Actually, I've thought about it since I came out of His Highness......"
"Stop! Stop! Stop! "What the hell?
Navis twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at Xiao Yueluo's frowning brows, he couldn't help but be a little speechless: "Can you explain to me what you mean by being half-on the spot first?" ”
“……”
Xiao Yueluo looked at Navis silently for a while, and her disgusted eyes seemed to be full of sympathy as if she were looking at a retarded person.
"Yes, my eldest lady, can you speak well? And don't look at me like that anymore, okay? Navis folded his hands in a gesture of please, but if it weren't for some things that had to be explained before he could move forward, he really didn't want to stay here for a moment.
"Semi-on-site means to bring some necessary materials first, and then purchase the rest when they arrive at the place."
Xiao Yueluo sighed slightly, although she was a little helpless, she could only tell Navis her thoughts in a good temper.
"Have you done this by taking into account the total amount of supplies on the ground? A thousand people is not much, but it is not something that a small town can accomplish in a short time. ”
"Of course I've thought about this, aren't there a lot of displaced people at the border? Although there is a place to relocate, it must be difficult to resume normal production in a short period of time. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Yueluo picked up the cup and took a sip, but the corner of her eye was still watching Navis's reaction.
"Are you asking for someone with me?"
Navis raised his eyebrows, obviously guessing Xiao Yueluo's thoughts in his heart.
"I can't talk about people, it's just by the way, aren't those people quite idle? I'll give them some money to find something to do, so that they don't have nothing to do, and once they settle down, they can free up some manpower to come out. ”
Speaking of this, Xiaoyue Luo paused, and the smile on the corner of her mouth made Navis subconsciously shudder: "I said...... Can you stop looking at me like that? It's weird, and I always have the illusion that you're stripping my clothes naked. ”
As he spoke, he rubbed his arms exaggeratedly, and that expression fell on Xiao Yueluo's eyes.
"If you don't want to talk, just tell me, I won't force you, and ......" After looking the person in front of her up and down, Xiao Yueluo opened her mouth again under Navis's nervous gaze, "A bunch of pork belly is nothing to look at." ”
"......" pork belly ......
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and after looking at the person in front of him for a while, Navis stood up decisively.
"Slow down and don't send it."
The footsteps that had just turned around were slightly sluggish, and Navis gritted his teeth, and the look on his face was once again full of smiles at the moment he turned around: "You are really a soft and hard master." ”
"It's over."
"I'm not complimenting you!" Navis was a little crazy, and even though similar scenes had happened dozens of times, he couldn't accept it psychologically.
"It's okay, I'll just treat you as praising me, and ......" Xiao Yueluo knocked on the table and said with a smile, "And I'm not soft and hard, at least the soft is still good, it's just ...... That's it. ”
"You just say that you dislike me." Navis sat back on the stone bench with his forehead in his hands, looking like he was denied himself, "Tell me, what are you not saying later?" ”
"Well, you're in charge of raising the money, give it to me before I get to Fingreen."
"You're really not polite at all." Navis sighed a little speechlessly, but then he evoked a wry smile, "Forget it, it was originally my responsibility, but you really don't feel a little guilty about oppressing people like this?" ”
"I'm just letting the person who should have played a role give full play to his greatest value, besides, ......" Xiao Yueluo's voice was faint, her eyes fell on the already empty teacup on the table, and then she raised the teacup and shook it, "Can you refill the cup?" ”
"I said......"
After calling someone to fill the cup with black tea, Xiao Yueluo took a sip of tea under Navis's speechless gaze before saying again: "Besides, Princess Rita told me that I can only truly achieve my goal by not letting go of any opportunity to squeeze others, so I won't have guilt or anything." ”
"Well, I'm sure now where you're getting your bad nature. And to be able to raise someone like you, that Princess Rita is also a talent in some ways. ”
"Then I'll thank you for your compliment on behalf of the princess."
"I'm not boasting when I say it......"
"It's okay, even if the princess is here, when you hear this, you will only think that you are complimenting her."
"Huh...... Well......"
Despite the amount of MMP in his heart, Navis didn't know how to speak at this moment, and it was the first time he had seen such a brazen person in more than twenty years of life, and ...... Suddenly, he also began to sympathize with the nobles of the Duchy of Evel, and with this pair of sisters, their broken mouths were probably not easy.
"That's it for today, although the funds are readily available, you should have a lot to do if you want to use them, right?"
Xiao Yueluo naturally ordered the eviction, and Navis got up directly when she heard this: "Okay, since this is the case, I will take you there tomorrow, as for the approval...... I'll have someone hand it over to you on the day you leave. ”
"Then it's troublesome."
After a dreamless night, Navis first found Xiao Yueluo in the courtyard who had just finished her morning exercise, and then took her to the royal capital.
"Vomit ......"
On a small road outside the royal capital, Xiao Yueluo was holding on to a big tree, and her pale face made the whole person look a little embarrassed.
"Looks like you really can't ride in a carriage."
"You...... ...... navis's smiling teasing voice sounded in his ears, and Xiao Yueluo glared back at him, but then lowered her head and vomited again.
"Hahaha......"
The unbridled laughter from behind her made Xiao Yueluo clench her fists, and at the same time silently made a note for Navis in her heart, waiting for the opportunity to settle the old accounts together in the future.
"I said you're okay, right?"
Navis stood at the doorway, looking at the girl lying on her seat with some concern, and if someone who didn't know saw it, he might think he had done something.
"It's okay, you...... Leave me alone, wait...... Just wait until the ground. ”
The half-open eyelids raised slightly, Xiao Yueluo looked at the person standing aside, and closed her eyes again with just one glance and stopped talking.
"Alright then, you can rest for a while, and I'll call you when the place comes."
With that, Navis lowered the curtain directly, and then drove the carriage towards the royal capital.
Keeping in mind Xiao Yueluo's slogan that "long pain is better than short pain", Navis decisively increased the speed of the carriage to the maximum it could reach, but due to the streets of the city, the carriage also walked for more than half an hour to reach its destination.
"You guys did it on purpose, didn't you?"
In an alley near the blacksmith shop, Xiao Yueluo was holding on to the corner of the wall and made a vomiting look, but the feeling of emptiness in her stomach really made her aware of the unnecessity of this.
"Who knew there would be so many people today, I just can't be fast if I want to."
Navis stood on the side of the carriage with his arms folded, a distinct grin.
"If you can put away that gloating look on your face, maybe your words still have some credibility." raised her head and glanced around, then Xiao Yueluo turned around and walked directly towards the outer street, "Carriage...... Is it okay to put it here? ”
In fact, Xiao Yueluo didn't want to ask this question, but when she saw the men who walked to the side of the carriage and stopped, she couldn't help but be a little concerned.
"Ah, that's fine, just stay here for a while, you'll ......" glanced out of the corner of his eye, and then Navis's voice stopped at the same time.
