Chapter Seventy-Eight: When the Strategy Progresses
By the time the conversation had progressed, Erquit had almost let his guard down.
There's never been a better time to make an invitation.
So Zhou Yao pretended to cough twice, and opened his mouth to collect his emotions.
"Although the matter of Fu Hailin has been resolved, Millennium City is now in tatters because of it, and it is not suitable for further living. I take the liberty of disturbing your rest at this moment, and I also want to invite you to leave here with me and go to the Central Province for a temporary stay. ”
Zhou Yao said as he made the ceremonial posture that he had seen Mei Lian do before, that is, the kind of covering his chest with one hand. It's all to show his sincerity.
"Leaving Millennium City? What is your purpose? ”
Obviously, the conversation just now went on happily, but at the mention of leaving Millennium City, Elquit's face immediately fell.
Suspicion and skepticism have risen again.
Sure enough, it won't go as smoothly as imagined, and at this time, instead of continuing the pursuit, it is better to stabilize the situation first.
Zhou Yao organized the language in his heart, but he did not show a trace of panic on the surface.
"My purpose is so obvious. Princess, didn't you find out? ”
With a calm smile, he asked Erquit instead.
"What do you mean?"
Elquit's face became even colder, and the momentum that had long been retracted poured out again.
"Of course, in order to have more time and a closer distance to see the princess, your peerless form! In fact, I am a big fan of yours like Mei Lian, and I have always suffered from not having the opportunity to meet you. But perhaps it was Heaven that was moved by my sincerity and guided me to come here this time, and to come here to solve your problems for you, Princess! ”
As Zhou Yao spoke, his emotions suddenly became excited, as if he wanted to completely detonate the emotions in his heart.
"Yes...... Is it? ”
Forced by his high emotions, Elquit's momentum withered, and some of them replied mechanically as if they were frightened.
"That's right, for my modest efforts! Of course, I know very well that as long as you do it, it is just a matter of fingers. But it's just because it's just a small Hailin. You can't get your hands dirty, princess, so I'll do it for you. ”
"With all due respect, a noble being like a princess shouldn't always be confined to a deep-walled castle alone. Your beauty. Your countenance, your majesty, is comparable to the sun! It's a treasure of the whole world! Instead of being monopolized by such an underground house, as it is now. ”
"Ah, how unfair! An injustice that would make people lose the light of hope! I'm not satisfied. I'm very upset about you. If it was the former Millennium City, I might only be able to hide this dissatisfaction in the bottom of my heart. But this is no longer the case, and the crumbling Millennium City cannot be used to match your identity, so I beseech you, princess, to leave this desolate place and go to the outside world. That's where you are! ”
"Maybe my status as a human will make you feel distrustful, but, there is one thing I would like you to understand, princess. I am definitely not your enemy, and I will never be. I'm just here to see you smile and really enjoy the world! ”
Zhou Yao's face was not red or panting. A lot of praise was uttered like a cannon, and Erquit, who had spoken directly, froze in place, completely frozen.
Wow, is that really what I said? How does it feel, ah...... What a shame! I really want to dig a crack in the ground and get in!
Waiting for Elquit's reaction without changing his face, Zhou Yao's heart had already turned upside down.
For the first time, he realized that he still had such a strong talent that even he was almost dizzy when he said it.
Hey? No! Don't look at me with this look, Erdu! I am your lord! How can you, how can you...... I had no choice but to do so. It's really a last resort!
Occasionally, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of his own member's reaction, and Zhou Yao was so ashamed that he almost fainted.
The second stay is using a ...... He looked at him with a super-complicated expression of three points of surprise mixed with two points of pity, and four points of tolerance decorated with a point of sadness. For someone at this moment, this lethality is more ferocious and powerful than a nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb.
It's all the fault of the hour! No. It's all the world's fault! That's why I'm going to say that!
Zhou Yao's heart couldn't help but scream.
Really, where did the hour provoke him, and the world provoked him so much......
It took a long time for Erquette to wake up from the impact of Zhou Yao's words, and her eyes became clear again, and her face was a little more flushed than just now.
Probably because of shyness and joy......
At least that's how Zhou Yao understands it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to convince himself.
"Well, though I'm grateful you're looking out for me, Zhou...... Zhou Yao! But I can't leave Millennium City, it's a shackle I have placed on myself. ”
Erquit said firmly, with a hint of sadness and remorse in his tone.
"Is it because of Roa? That wicked man! Then leave it to me, and I'll get the unlocked key for you. The next time Roa shows up, I'll destroy him completely. ”
In the face of Erquit's firmness, Zhou Yao used a stronger firmness to waver.
"No, you can't! That's what I have to do with my own hands, and it's the only salvation for me. ”
Elquit hugged his knees, buried his head in his head, and whispered.
It was a sin she had borne on her shoulder, and it was because of such remorse that she would keep herself sealed in the castle and leave only briefly when the worst of her enemies appeared.
Zhou Yao understands this, and because he understands, he can't let Erquit continue like this.
So he took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to feel guilty. This sentence opens the door to the starting point.
"Blaming oneself for past mistakes will never move forward. And you are not at fault, because everything you have done is right in my heart. If you are right, then there is no reason to blame yourself, and no one in this world is qualified to blame you. ”
"But......" Erquit was shaken strongly for a moment, she raised her head and wanted to refute something, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Zhou Yao.
"Of course, this is just my own side of the story, if you still insist on leaving this self-blame, then I will bear it all. Whether it is the self-blame for causing the bloody disaster in the Millennium City, or the burden that may appear in the future, I am willing to bear it for you. Just as I have broken the thousand chains that have imprisoned you, I will sweep away all the darkness that hinders your freedom in the future. ”
"You are the only and absolute white princess, as long as you remember this, you will not be confused. The rest, the superfluous, the boring, the filthy, all leave it to me. This is my realization, my promise, and my vow to you. ”
Zhou Yao looked directly at Erquit with a serious, unadulterated gaze, and his tone was flat but full of will.
"But ......"
The corners of Elquit's eyes were a little moist, and she was touched by Zhou Yao's words, but her persistence over the years made her unable to let go of the last trace of struggle
However, this struggle was immediately shattered by Zhou Yao's strong words.
"There's nothing to do, it's an established matter, and you have no right to refuse!"
Zhou Yao summed it up with a strong proposition. Elquit opened his mouth, eventually swallowing the words back.
The persuasion has come to a perfect end, which is gratifying and gratifying......
It should have been like this, but as if it was in response to that sentence, the plan couldn't catch up with the change, and just when Elquit wanted to accept Zhou Yao's promise, an uninvited guest came.
Ah, it should be an uninvited guest for Zhou Yao.
"Princess! Don't listen to his rhetoric! This human being can't be trusted at all! Don't let him fool you! ”
As if it had been planned in advance, just as the curtain was about to come to an end for the stage, Mei Lian? Solomon's voice burst in and reached the ears of the three people present. (To be continued.) )
