Chapter 1351: Smashing
The meeting place is still the same as last time.
Even the seats haven't changed much.
As she walked into the dining room, she saw Roland sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows. The bustling city of mankind spread under his feet, like a continuation of his figure, and this visual difference actually gave her the illusion that the other party was sacred and inviolable.
She shook her head, leaving her thoughts behind.
"I'm coming. β
She sat down across from Roland.
"Is there anything you want to eat?" Seeing her shake his head, Roland beckoned to the waiter, "In that case, let's have a copy of everything, and we'll talk while we eat." β
The coffee and pastries were quickly served, and Vakiriss did not refuse, she naturally picked up a piece of Peninsula soft cake and put it in her mouth, savoring its softness and sweetness, as if it were not a negotiation with the enemy, but a special trip to enjoy a delicious tea party.
"You're a little different from what you used to be. Roland stared at her.
"I've thought about it, it's not a bad habit to talk while eating. Vakiris replied unhurriedly. The first time they met, they were too passive, and they were almost led by the nose all the time, but this time it won't - she can imagine the smug face of the other party when they send a message, but no one can be proud forever, and she has endured it long enough.
"Well," Roland pouted, "you replied to me this time because you thought it through?"
Vakiris nodded.
"And the answer?"
"I refuse. β
Then she caught a hint of astonishment and bewilderment on Roland's faceβprobably because he didn't expect him to refuse so crisply, and even his always calm expression showed a small flaw. The atmosphere between the two seemed to freeze, and Roland maintained the posture of holding the cup until a long time before bringing it to his lips and frowning.
β...... What is the rationale?"
"The choice between fractions and fractions does sound reasonable. A vanguard force is nothing compared to the continuation of the race, and if you want to stop the destruction of the world, it is inevitable to pay a certain price, and to be honest, I was almost convinced by you. Vakiriss added another piece of pastry to her mouth, "It's a pity...... It all has to be based on fact to make sense. β
"I'm telling the truth!" Roland said in a deep voice, his tone changing for the first time.
But I can't prove it. β
"......" Roland suddenly fell silent.
"You've found out, right? I'm trapped in this realm, and all the information I receive from the outside world comes from you. Whether it's the Vanguard retreating in the Wolf's Heart Kingdom, or the so-called Sunlight, I can't even verify it, let alone make decisions based on this information. β
"I thought you would be a little smarter. It's been so long since I've been in the dream world, isn't it obvious to judge humanity's war potential based on historical documents-"
"Potential doesn't mean strength," Vakiriss said-for-tat, "That's right, the strength that the human race is showing at the moment is indeed very strong, otherwise Ersruk wouldn't see you as an equal opponent!"
She paused, "At the end of the day, the ascension you have received is not from the elevation of civilization. Hundreds of years from now, it may be the same as the debris, but I can't say for sure where things are going now. So in the future, you don't need to send me any more messages. β
Roland seemed to want to say something more, but couldn't answer in the end.
Vakiriss looked out the window and felt the splendor of the human city. This meeting can be described as a bad breath, and the calmness revealed by the other party finally dissipated, replaced by obvious disappointment.
It's just that she didn't feel the comfort she expected. The threat of the gods still exists, and the warning of "Thousand Shapes" Sistaris is still not lifted, and if what the other party says is true, then refusal is undoubtedly a choice between half and zero percent of the hopeless answer.
However, it is even more a hasty choice to make her do things that are not good for the race based on the words of the human side. Comparing the two, she would rather choose the former.
Even if the decision is extremely dangerous.
After swallowing the last piece of cake, Vakiris pretended to be relaxed, "Thank you for your hospitality, I'll miss this taste in the future." β
"If you want to eat, just make an appointment next time. Roland shook his head, "Don't talk about this like the Last Supper. β
"......" Vakiriss couldn't help but be stunned, among the hundred reactions she imagined the other party to be disappointed, there were annoyed turns, contemptuous sneers, and sharp warnings, but they did not include this one - since she had already rejected the proposal, it would not be strange that Roland would find a chance to deal with her. After all, she has always been a Maharaja, and the race is humanity's greatest enemy at the moment.
"I'll go back first. Roland let out a long breath and stood up and walked out of the restaurant, "I'll keep sending the news, even if you want to avoid them, that's true." β
This guy - did he listen to himself well!
Vakiris couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do next?"
"What to do?" he said without replying, "My mind has never changed, to uncover the secrets of the source of magic and end the battle of divine will once and for allβno matter what choice you make." β
Was this a disguise, or was it really what he thought?
The last question Roland had asked at the last time they had met in her mind.
"Do you think the Thousand Shapes of Sistaris a thousand years ago did something wrong?"
......
"What do you think of the Martial Arts Association?"
Fei Yuhan asked while holding the steering wheel. After the car turned onto the ramp, it drove onto the Green Field Highway Bridge. There are not many vehicles on the bridge deck, and the view is extremely transparent, and the sparkling and wide river channel and the dense high-rise buildings on the opposite bank spread along the skyline, as if there is no end.
The bridge is also the dividing line between the city and the suburbs, and it is basically necessary to pass through it from the Rhine Green Resorts to the Tube Building Community.
"Hmm...... It's not the same as I imagined. Jero seemed to be more interested in the interior of the car than in front of her, pinching the soft leather on the door and touching the sound of the center console, her ruby eyes turning from the moment she got into the car.
"Oh, what do you imagine the Association to look like?"
"To ...... It's more mysterious, not like a hotel, just on the side of the road. Jie Luo pouted.
"It used to be true of Prism City, but it's been in trouble lately, so we'll have to move here for the time being. Fei Yuhan chuckled, in front of the little girl, she naturally didn't have to pretend to be indifferent to maintain her distance. "I'm not asking about that, but about your personal experience of visiting the park β after all, if you're going to learn the power of nature, you'll have to stay in a sanatorium for a long time. If you have any needs in life, you can ask the master to mention them. β
The little girl didn't answer immediately, but turned her head and asked, "Does Uncle Roland also work here?"
"That's right. But he doesn't necessarily have time to spend with you every day. β
"I know," Jie Luo pouted, "he has a lot of sisters to take care of, and he is often busy until midnight. β
The car suddenly surged forward.
Fei Yuhan withdrew his right foot from the wrong accelerator and coughed twice as if he was casual - this was really an explosive piece of information! Although she already knew that those amazing-looking women were likely from another world, she had overlooked a key factor, and that was that they called him His Majesty!
That's right, since he is a king, it doesn't seem incomprehensible that there are groups of wives and concubines. She could even further speculate whether it was because of their intimate relationship with Roland, the creator of the world, that they had the ability to enter this world?
Taking the initiative to accept Jieluo as a disciple is indeed the right choice. Through Vakiriss and Jero, she believes that it won't be long before she discovers the secrets of that world little by little.
Wait a minute...... If you think like this, don't you want to take a look at the "reality" yourself......
"Master, master...... Are you alright?"
Jieluo screamed a few times before pulling her back from her distraction, "No, it's nothing, you continue." β
"So only by becoming a martial artist can you have more time to see your uncle. Jieluo concluded, "Then no matter what the Martial Arts Association looks like, I will continue to stay!"
Fei Yuhan smiled dumbly, well, it's really a simple reason.
Simple, yet determined.
She had thought that the little girl was about to leave her familiar place and that it would take a long time to get used to it, but now she realized that she was too worried.
The other party is far more mature than he imagined.
"Rest assured, it will take at least a week to complete the transfer and check-in procedures, and there are also holidays in the association, so you don't have to think too hard about the road of martial arts. After going back this time, let's say goodbye to my classmates first-" Fei Yuhan suddenly noticed something strange when he was halfway through speaking.
A truck in the opposite lane turned two lanes to the left and slammed into the central divider, overturning entirely.
She instantly slammed on the brakes and slammed in the right direction at the same time.
However, in the next second, the huge cargo box crushed through the barrier and swept like a high wall. The road was completely blocked, and the vehicles in front of it were shattered like pieces of paper, and there was no chance of sparing.
Everything came so fast that there was barely any time left for reaction -
With a loud bang, the car where the two were located also collided with the truck solidly!
Due to the sharp direction to the right, the body was almost slapped sideways, and the violent impact force suddenly tore the frame, and the position of the cab was completely deflated.
