Michael asked, "Duke, is that all?" ”

Chris: "Yes. ”

Maxwell: "The enemy's commander has been killed by the Marquis of Fishbone, and they should not dare to act rashly." ”

Le Gang: "The Epoch Empire does not dare to be our enemy for the time being, we will continue to pioneer the wilderness, if the sword and shield will be in danger, the fishbone will support you at that time." ”

Tiphon smiled: "It's really reassuring to have such a solid backing as Longinus. ”

I laughed a few times, but I was sweating, and it was nice to listen to their babbling, but how many more times would I be lucky in this life? What if a few strong enemies who do not believe in evil attack me?

They began to deliberate on what to do, and with his calm mind, Legang judged that the Anno Empire's offensive was over, and Chris thought so too.

They also said that because of the fishbones, they were safe to act boldly without thinking too much about the defense of the weeping.

I want to cry without tears: the nine hermits and scepters of the Sword and Shield Society, the six elders and nobles of the Black Coffin, if they join forces, it will be enough to intimidate the Epoch Empire. But they hid behind the scenes, allowing me to reap all the feats and fame, and also bear all the hardships and risks.

They are not afraid of me, because I am a symbiotic individual with them, I am like a tiger in the jungle, I can hunt freely in the jungle, but I can't leave this jungle after all.

Their cunning inhabitants of the jungle, and some small predators, propagandize my claws and teeth, and guard the forest with terrifying legends.

I bathe and enjoy the vanity, but in essence I'm still working for them. Let them sit back and relax, stay behind the scenes, and play against their opponents with a smile and a groan like a chess player manipulating a chess piece.

I'd love to tell them the truth.

But what about after that? Don't they treat me like a pawn?

No, I will be treated as a cheap pawn, not a pawn to be taken seriously.

I'd rather choose the latter.

I'd rather choose a lie.

Lamia and I left Charon Heavy Industries and went home hand in hand with her.

Lamia said, "I know you're tired. ”

I smiled and said, "I'm not tired, I'm fine, and they all praise me." ”

Lamia touched my cheek and tugged at my new, unshaved beard, as if to assess whether it had made me rude or cuter.

She said: "You're always busy, and just counting this month, you haven't been idle at all." You go to a desert island to deal with enemies, you deal with enemies on your way back from the Black Coffin, you fight demons when you cry, and you fight when you get lost. Moreover, you are a real injury, which cannot be disguised in any way. ”

She cried, and my tears were rolling in my eyes, and I held back my tears and asked, "What are you crying about?" ”

Lamia wiped away her tears and said, "You used to want to be the big man in the black coffin, to be the savior of this world, and you are fulfilling what you have said little by little, but I don't think I can help you. I look at your back and always feel like you're alone. ”

In a split second, I almost broke down, I wanted to hold her and cry, I wanted to almost tell Lamia about my weaknesses, my worries, my fears, my tiredness. I want to tell her that I don't care about crying at all, I can work with her, with Carla and Martin, to build a manor built of embers, with all kinds of beautiful plants, and some cute little animals, this is a small black coffin, we can be self-sufficient, and everything else is not to worry about.

My dream? My dream is to live with her carefree, I don't have to care about how to feed the stomachs of nearly a thousand people, I just need to ensure that our family of four has no worries about food and clothing. I'd raise Carla and Martin to be farmers, not the politicians and strong women that Carla craves. I will teach them martial arts so that they can protect themselves. That kind of life will be very happy, and even in the last days, we will be able to survive all crises.

But I held back, I endured it, otherwise this book would be a eunuch....

No, I just can't let Lamia think I'm weak, so she'll be even more relieved.

I have to move forward, I have to be strong, no matter how hard it takes.

I replied, "I'm not alone, it's enough to have you by my side." ”

We walked into the house and heard Carla say upstairs, "Martin, give me a good night's sleep, I'm trying to please my father and mother, and you stupid people like this will only be counterproductive." ”

Lamia grimaced and said, "How do I think I should find a good teacher for both of them?" ”

Yao Chi smiled, "Dear Cassandra, are you not aware of your identity as a child? ”

Carla asked, "Self-realization?" I've always been the most conscious. ”

Yao Chi said, "Have you heard of the uncanny valley effect? ”

Carla replied, "No, ma'am, I have not heard of it. ”

"According to the uncanny valley effect, when some... The degree of resemblance between an individual and a human exceeds a certain boundary, and the slightest difference will bring a higher sense of horror. ”

Carla said, "What's wrong?" Madam? You're saying I'm not human? ”

Yao Chi said, "No, I mean, children should look like children, naughty or playful, but if you force yourself to think like an adult, it will be scary. ”

Kara said hurriedly: "But I... But I'm not pretending, I'm just trying to behave..."

She burst into tears.

Yaochi seemed to hug Kara and comforted her: "Don't cry, you're fine, you're fine now, your pitiful appearance of crying nose, anyone who sees it will like it." ”

Carla said, "I'm not pretending, is it really bad that I was like that before?" ”

Yao Chi said softly: "You are very sensible, there is nothing wrong with this, but you are still a young child, your first job is not to read books, not to learn the rules, but to play, give me a hard time." ”

Kara screamed, "Ah! Martin, how do you paint my face with a pen? You robber thief, despicable villain, you are miserable! ”

The ping-pong sounded upstairs, and it seemed that there was a fight.

I smiled and said, "I don't know if my wife wants to stay in Cry, I'm planning to start a primary school." ”

Lamia thought it was a good idea, and she wanted to retire from the Rangers and pursue a career in education, teaching the children herself.

I objected: "This matter has to be done professionally, what can you teach them, kick your husband out of bed with one leg?" Or do you press your husband on the bed and can't move? ”

Lamia gave me a pink punch and said, "I'll teach girls to beat flamboys." ”

During the night, we came to the newly built greenhouse, which had been laid with a lot of wet mud. Bram is assigning workers to plant plants.

I asked, "How fast can you make this corn grow?" ”

Bram said: "Big hero, you have to figure out a simple truth. The power of my admonition does not want to destroy nature, but to go with it. I also can't go against the rules of the four seasons, such as getting a good harvest in the winter. ”

I complained, "That's not what you said in Bram Village. ”

Bram said, "Well, so to speak, in this hellish environment, if I have enough blood to drink, I can make a thousand square meters of crop double in a year, and there will be no disease, and the harvest will be good." But if you want them to blossom and bear fruit immediately, your land will be barren at once, and no seedlings will grow. ”

"I've heard them talk about the miracles you've done."

Bram said without guilt: "That's all a trick, I made one corn plant grow fast, and the rest didn't need to be demonstrated." But isn't it remarkable that I didn't starve to death in the barren soil of the Cloud Valley? ”

I gritted my teeth and asked, "How long will it take to get a good harvest?" ”

"Freshly planted corn, five to six months. ”

In five to six months, the meat bought from the black coffin would support the stomachs of a thousand people, and I promised them a life of heavenly food and drink, although in the last days it is no longer possible to have a balanced diet. Is it time to declare a diet? Isn't that a self-slap in the face?

Alas, my head and stomach began to hurt, and I didn't even have the strength to complain for a moment.

I need to talk to someone, but who can I talk to? Lamia? No, although she is smart, she is always upright, and she has not many ways.

I said to Lagar, "Can you find the mask?" ”

Faced with a lacked brand headset, he easily found him.

On the other end, the mask was eating the ramen, and I could even feel the fragrant heat rushing into my face through the radio, which made me angry and wanted to punch him through the radio.

The mask chewed on the noodles, snapped his lips rudely, and asked, "Fish bones?" What's up? ”

I said, "Noodles." ”

"It's an instant noodle from the last century, and it has an expiration date until today, and it tastes really good," the mask said. ”

I hated and said, "How many of these noodles do you have?" ”

The mask said, "There is only this bowl." ”

I said, "How many are there on the black market?" ”

The mask said: "In the black market of the black coffin? No, it's a rarity now. ”

I whispered, "Weeping may be about to run out of food, I need food." ”

"But I can't conjure food," said the mask, "and I'm not an alchemist." ”

"Help me figure out a way, or I'll come over and sell your blood to Nana by the pound."

The mask said miserably, "Why me?" Where do you see that I'm a very good person? ”

"I don't know, but I always think you'll have a way. Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sell your stuff to Christina. ”

"Why is it always her? Why did she buy my baby? ”

Why do I have this idea? Because the mask is so easy to use, he has come up with ideas more than once when everyone is at a loss, so that we can turn the situation into safety.

The mask asked, "You.... Haven't heard of IBA? ”

I thought about it for a long time before I remembered that the ungrateful Imperial priest Zuo Ti had mentioned that there was such an organization in the last century, which seemed to be the International Bounty Society.

I was excited, for his mysterious tone made me feel like I had seen the morning star in the dark.

"Does IBA sell food?"

"IBA sells everything, even in the last days, they have a huge underground market, but there, to get what you want, I'm afraid it's not that simple," the mask said. ”
