Chapter 22: The First Choice
The early morning sun shone on the small stone square of Bark Village, so that the soldiers of the Wang family's guards, who had not rested well all night, shrugged their heads and languished, and were scolded by the rebels for feeding well water mixed with debilitating medicine.

On the second floor of the house where Hygilia was held, in the room that had been used as a temporary headquarters, there were only two people on duty at the communication reel table, where Sesena was communicating with Halkin about the next step of action.
"It's so uncomfortable to sleep in this room, how long are you going to stay here!" Sesena of Irene, who is small and never grows up, is very dissatisfied with the current living conditions.
Halgin was watching the soldiers feeding medicine in the square below from the window, and when he heard Cesena's words, he was silent for a while and said, "Her Majesty does not cooperate, and she will not be able to get the communication code of the Kingdom Council." ”
"I'm running out of medicine. ”
“...... Is there a reply from Baikoma?" Halkin said to the messenger on duty.
"It's still 'full discretion and opportunism,' and there is no other command. A female correspondent replied loudly.
"Order, wake everyone up! Pack your bags, and the whole army is ready to move!"
"The whole army is transferred. The correspondent repeated the command and began to write quickly on the communication scroll.
"Pack up here and don't leave anything behind. ”
"Yes!"
Halkin motioned for Cesena to leave with him: "You know, the queen is the main priest here, and she can sacrifice herself at any time, but because of the hostages, she won't do anything radical for the time being......"
"Tried all the threats?" said Cesena, tilting her little head in curiosity.
"I've tried everything I could yesterday, why don't you try it yet?"
"I'm not good at this kind of thing!" Cesena scurried along, "Magic is my specialty." You'll just have to complete your agreement with me then. ”
"It's done, the crystal mines in the Karelian Mountains are yours. Harkin paused: "But for now, you still need a small favor from Your Excellency Sesena......"
"I know, the matter of the sealing beast is right!"
"Yes, take the princess, you can get started, and I'll send the Red Emblem and thirty soldiers to assist you. ”
"Leaving now?"
"Yes.
"Then I'll go! I don't care what else you have to arrange! In the next two days, even if you use the communication scroll, you won't be able to call me back to help!"
"Of course, we'll take care of the rest ourselves. ”
Cesena blinked, giggled, and let out a series of little girl-like laughs, and ran towards the place where Fairy was being held.
At this time, Harkin also walked outside the house, and shouted loudly to the square, which had already received the communication order, and was busy: "Move quickly! For the sovereign!"
"For the !! of the Monarch"
Half a day's away, a small square was also busy, a small clearing enclosed by the town security office. There are people who are crowded and huddled to sign and draw signs, those who get the contract and gather to the side, those who brag to each other that they have been on the battlefield, those who are crazy and pointing to the sun and shouting, all kinds of people.
"Ahem, this magician young man......" Fulton greeted Yu Youzi.
"Are you here on a planet, is there a moon in your world?" Yu Youzi greeted Uncle Armor.
"'Moon'?" Li Fulton had never heard of this word at all, maybe it was a magic word, so thinking so, the guard general coughed twice and said: "I am Li Fulton, the guard general of Mulimu City, may I ask if your Excellency is a magician?"
Yu Youzi retracted his mind from the discovery of the new space-time order, and after recalling the common sense books he had read, he began to half-truth: "It's not a magician, it's an adventurer who has dabbled in magic in the world before us." I was just summoned by Xian Ruola for some reason. ”
Fulton nodded, "I've heard about you and Miss Aisha, how did you get locked up in the first place?"
The guard hurriedly answered: "I was found riding a stolen horse by the guards at the gate of the town, it must be a misunderstanding." ”
Yu Youzi shook his head: "It's not a misunderstanding, it's indeed a stolen horse." ”
"Oh?" said Fulton, looking curiously.
"I stole from the rebels...... It should be said that it was robbed. ”
Lefton stared, frowned, and said to the guard beside him, "Do you know where the horse's stamps are?"
The guard rubbed his head and couldn't answer, he only recorded the reason for his detention, and as for details such as the horseshoe seal, only the first batch of guards who stopped Yu Youzi knew.
Levoldon looked around, "Where is the horse now?"
The guard hurriedly said, "Now I am locked up in the stable next to the side building." ”
Fullerton raised his feet and walked to the stable, calling the wanderer to come with him.
Passing through the main walkway, you will find a small stable yard through the side door, and the exit will open to another street. Yu Youzi recognized at a glance the horse he had stolen, the saddle was already down, and it was leisurely eating breakfast grass.
Immediately, a soldier got into the stall and went around the back of the horse and raised his hind hooves, and after checking it, he shouted: "It's the steel seal of the Louadp County Horse Farm!"
Leefulton was shocked and wanted to go in to confirm it himself, but because it was inconvenient for the armor to bend, he had to send a few more soldiers in to confirm, and the answer he got was all Llouadp's stamp.
"Liaison soldiers!" Fulton finally opened the stall and went in to confirm the seal himself: "Go and report the matter here to the mayor!"
A young man in a red cotton suit crowded in front of the crowd and looked at Fulfulton for further instructions.
"Tell the mayor that the rebel horses are Louadp's! ”
The red-clad liaison soldier bowed down and led the way out of the crowd and ran towards the municipal building.
The matter of the stable has been dealt with, there is no need to continue to stay in this bad-smelling place, everyone walked back to the side building under the leadership of Fulton, and Uncle Wei seemed to have thought of something and walked down the corridor, while saying to Yu Youzi, who had been looking left and right: "I haven't asked your name yet." ”
"Just call me Yu Youzi. ”
"So, Your Excellency Yu Youzi, don't you know that there has been a level test?"
"Conducted, level 25. ”
"Oh! I want to hire you as part of my personal guard, not as one of these militiamen. Lefton passed by a window, looked at the famous prisoners in the clearing, and said, "Your Excellency can be released from prison sooner or later, you can be sooner or later, so why stay in this kind of place more." ”
The implication was that if he agreed to the request of his guards, he would be free immediately, or he would stay here for a few more days, and even if he volunteered to become a mercenary in the open field, he would be transferred to his command.
"Is it a long-term employment?" Yu Youzi frowned.
Fullton chuckled: "Definitely higher than anywhere else!"
Yu Youzi synthesized all the information he knew so far, and instantly thought of four plans for his next move, there is no upper, middle and lower strategy, and the effect of the strategy will change in different situations, because now his big goal has gradually changed from "rescuing Xian Ruola" to "surviving in this social system".
The main reason for the change of goal is that Her Majesty the Queen has fallen into the hands of the enemy, so that Yu Youzi's own safety is not absolutely guaranteed, you must know that if the Karelian royal family rejects the traverser, then they can kill themselves directly on the altar on the top of the mountain, but they don't, and they also have quite good intentions in the subsequent contact, so Yu Youzi has no intention of hiding his identity as a traverser.
And now the situation is a little more delicate. Leefulton's words were digging into the corner of Princess Xianruola, but he showed from the beginning that he knew that Yu Youzi was summoned by Xianruola.
Yu Youzi's mind was racing, and it had been 0.5 seconds since Fulton proposed the invitation, so he had to choose one of the four action plans within 1.5 seconds, otherwise he would be passive in the subsequent negotiations. Because more than 2 seconds of silence will make the other party mistakenly believe that he has the intention of rejecting his invitation, people can't make this kind of performance that will cause misunderstanding when they are under the roof, this is the rhetoric given in the knowledge of popular psychology in Yu Youzi's mind, and now you need to choose-
First, agree to Leefulton's invitation and take refuge in the Muli Mucheng Guard, which is very suitable for those who have just come to your land, and you can slowly increase your strength in a low-key manner, in this world with a power level setting, level 25 is too low, and you can only be called the king after you become strong.
But from the conversation between the book and Aisha, it can be seen that this world is very vast, there are more than 3,000 villages in the Karelian Kingdom, and according to one town in the center of a hundred villages, Mulimu City is only one of the nearly three hundred towns. As a starting point, the momentum here is too small.
Second, leave alone and find a place to slowly study magic and other things to improve your strength. The good thing is that you can be at ease, and there may be adventures when you travel around this vast world, and as long as you keep a low profile and hide your dark hair, you won't be in danger. But Xian Ruola is an incident that needs to be dealt with immediately, and as soon as she leaves, whether Xian Ruola can survive for a long time depends on the little girl's own fate.
The worst-case scenario is the death of Xian Ruola, which makes her lost "self" forever, and there is currently a lack of information about the "soul link", and I don't know what the consequences will be if one party dies.
And although he is a lone ranger, he has the courage to laugh at the rivers and lakes, but without the support of the rear, he will encounter a series of additional obstacles to improve his strength, and Yu Youzi does not think that the school city and library mentioned by Hygilia will warmly welcome a homeless man to go in and do research.
Third, Hygilia has already sent a letter of appointment to the royal council, appointing herself as an advisor to the royal family, but she has not carried out the next step of the entry procedures, and everyone did not expect that there would be such an emergency as the rebels entering the village and kidnapping.
Then now you can complete the next step in Mulimu City through Ornstone's communication scroll. Discuss with the mayor to make yourself have an official status, then you can naturally refuse Fulton's invitation, but you may fall into the current chaos of the kingdom, and you can't fully improve your own strength, and your own strength is king.
The Carrelian royal family, the rebels, looking at the appearance of Fulton, Luadp is also a big problem. The group of people in the fifties of the Silver Sword Jue Bird Regiment all fell as soon as they came, and their strength of level 25 was obviously not enough to use their strength to wade through this troubled water. Then it is time to play the power game at the political level, and you are definitely the king, the weakest party at the moment.
The rebel forces have gained the absolute initiative and have a huge advantage when they catch the queen; what does it mean for Fulton to dig me into the corner of the queen's internal advisers; Louadp County is hidden in the shadows, and the enemy is unknown, and to himself this county is just a noun that has just appeared, and he has no concept at all, and he is completely unable to make an analysis.
There is also the geopolitical situation around the kingdom, I have only heard of one hero country at present, and the current situation of lack of sufficient information in my eyes is blackened, and thinking about it makes Yu Youzi have a headache.
Finally, go back to Aisha's little maid, and then see the opportunity to implement one of the above three plans, or improvise, after all, you have only been in this world for a day, and there is too little intelligence, information, and understanding here, who can be sure of what will happen in the future and make the plan unable to catch up with the change.
Then this procrastination trick is the best solution in the current situation, although it is very small, but it is precisely because of the small family is the safest insurance, and it will not fall into death in the first step.
Two seconds later, everyone took two more steps forward, and Fulton received a reply from Yu Youzi: "I have accepted Her Majesty's appointment to become an advisor to the royal family, I don't know ......"
"Oh, I have accepted the appointment of Her Majesty, so you should not have happened to me. ”
If it was in the game, this would be a choice to branch out of the plot, and Yu Youzi inexplicably came up with entertainment knowledge in his mind. Thinking about what he didn't have, he said, "I want to meet Miss Aisha first, after all, we escaped together...... As for Mr. Leefulton's invitation, I would like to meet Aisha first...... I think that since everyone has solved the misunderstanding of me stealing horses, there is no need to sign as a mercenary. ”
Lifulton nodded: "That's natural, in fact, if it's not a rebel, you don't need to be imprisoned at all." The mayor can also pardon the law offender, I don't know why he didn't do it last night......"
As he spoke, he simply explained a few words to the guards who had been following him, and signed a document sent later, so that Yu Youzi could move freely.
After asking where Carita Isa was, Yu Youzi went to the Scarlet Vine Orchid Merchant House, and Fulton, who was going to the city center in the other direction, mentioned before parting that Yu Youzi should consider being a personal guard, this time saying that if it was not satisfactory to stay in the palace, he could come and join him at any time.
Yu Youzi looked like he was assuring to think about it, and he said goodbye again and again and ran to the other side of the town.
