Chapter 536
In fact, in Xia Dong's view, the matter of Ulysses is not a big mistake.
Even at that time, he wanted to help him out of the siege, but when he found out that the situation was out of control, he simply didn't know what to do, because he knew very well that if he appeared when the boy was just beaten up, even if he had a lotus in his mouth, it would not play a comforting role, and it would only make the family more embarrassed.
In the past few days, he has also deliberately avoided this issue, according to his thoughts, he simply treated it coldly, and everyone was sloppy in the past, as for the discussion of outsiders, to be honest, where would he know when he stayed at home every day?
And who would dare to chew the root of his tongue in front of him?
So now I heard Jie Liya take the initiative to mention this question, but it made him difficult to answer, so he had to say perfunctorily: "Ah, I've heard about it, but it's just a farce between children, and it will be fine in a few days." He didn't think it was worth worrying about.
In the blink of an eye, Jie Liya was suddenly a little unsure of his attitude, she thought for a while and asked, "May I ask Lord Chardon what he thinks of Yuri?" ”
Putting the novel on the coffee table next to him, Xia Dong raised his eyes and looked at each other, and his tone was a little deliberate: "The essence of this young man is okay, but maybe because of what he has encountered in the past two years, his temperament is a little extreme." ”
In fact, Xia Dong has mixed feelings for Ulysses in his heart, to be exact, mostly because of regrets.
At the beginning, if he could deliver the letter, many things would have been different in the future, so subconsciously, his so-called compensation for Viscount Calle, or compensation for Ulysses, was better to compensate for the guilt in his heart, and to compensate for the innocent people who died because of a series of events later.
Whether it was the people of Nice, Catherine and them, the Celester soldiers of Mosok, the civilians around Mossok who were killed by Flora's daughters, the dead on the plains of Belize in the east, the poor people in Kalesta in the northwest, or even the 300,000 defenders of the frozen fortress......
It is also for this reason that he has a very close attitude towards Ulysses, because he subconsciously wants to escape this guilt.
It's just that he didn't even understand the mystery in this, let alone other people can understand it, so in the eyes of others, he will think that he is extremely strange, since he wants to help, he should help well, like Minaya, or simply ignore it, why bother not to take care of others and make three wishes?
Jie Liya naturally thought the same way, but she couldn't be stupid enough to question Xia Dong.
For her, as long as Xia Dong still has this favor for Yuli, she will first echo at the moment, "Your Excellency is right, I will definitely teach Yuli more in the future, but this time Mina also seems to have a temperament, and I hope that Your Excellency can persuade them, they are always senior sisters and brothers, if it goes too far, won't it make outsiders laugh?" ”
Nodding, Xia Dong also understands Minaya's character, she is not a good-natured lord wrapped in a well-behaved coat, "Don't worry, Mina is just angry for a while, just wait a few days, and I will talk to her when I have time." ”
After receiving his affirmative reply, Jieliya felt relieved, thought about it, and simply struck with a hot iron, "Your Excellency, have you heard about Mina's preparation to establish a strange system in the Moonlight Realm?" ”
Eccentric?
Stunned, Xia Dong quickly reacted, the official system has never appeared in this world, and it is normal to be called weird.
But when he first taught the girl, he had already expected that there would be resistance, so he didn't panic, "I taught her this thing, don't worry, it's just a transitional thing, and when Mina has enough nobles, she will eventually recover." ”
I didn't expect him to open his mouth to take the matter over, Jie Liya was stunned for a moment, and the words behind her were blocked in her throat, she didn't dare to comment on Xia Dong's thoughts, "So that's the case, then there's no problem, Mina really doesn't have anyone available in her hands, I'm also thinking these days, should I let Yuli help her, which can not only alleviate the lack of manpower, but also bring their relationship closer." ”
Raising his eyebrows, Xia Dong immediately heard what she meant, and smiled slightly, "That's pretty good, so which part do you think Yuli is suitable to be responsible for?" ”
"Actually, Yuri has always missed his grandfather, maybe Darpa, who is closer to the distant fortress, will be more suitable for him, Viscount Kale sacrificed his life for the country, if there are children and grandchildren nearby from time to time, maybe it will be a comfort." Jieliya's expression was a little emotional, and she was even more embarrassed when she talked about the deceased viscount.
Darpa?
Wasn't Viscount Callet going to send the letter here in the first place?
This familiar term immediately evoked Xia Dong's memory, as well as the helplessness that seemed to be nothing, and after a moment of silence, he finally nodded, "Okay, then Dalpa, En...... Give him the surrounding Hammer Town and Nightfall Town, and with these two places, his development will be much easier. ”
Forget it, just make up for his failure to improve the strength of the boy, he thought to himself.
And the opposite Jie Liya immediately rejoiced, Iron Hammer Town produces good iron ore, and Night Town has a special night mushroom as a specialty, both of which are no less than the existence of gold mines, so I am afraid that it is more valuable than ordinary small towns, and now my little apprentice finally does not have to worry about it.
As a master, although her care for the two apprentices is equal, Minaya has Xia Dong as her backer, and her luck is so good that people are jealous and want to die, so naturally she doesn't have to worry about it much, but in comparison, the little apprentice who no one hurts is a little pitiful, so she will be more concerned.
Looking at her expression and feeling her sincerity, Xia Dong couldn't help but nodded slowly in his heart, her master was indeed conscientious, and it was not at all like she had accepted an apprentice because of the transaction.
With a bit of approval, he couldn't help but remind: "I remember that I still owe you a request, if you need it, you can ask me at any time, of course, there is only one potion to improve the strength of your talent, and it has been taken by Mina." He didn't want the other person to make the same request and embarrass himself again.
These words made Jie Liya's heart jump again, although Xia Dong had said such things before, but it was only a vague concept, how could he feel the value of his commitment so earnestly now?
Looking at some guests who didn't belong to him, Xia Dong coughed lightly, and said: "In addition, I still have a little thing I want to trouble you, I enjoyed the performance of Dream Dance before, and it is really extraordinary, so I want to meet her, I wonder if you can help me contact her?" ”
"Your Excellency Dream Dancer had a performance in Fields at the beginning of the year, and according to what I heard before, she should now be leaving for the Duchy of Tormu to perform at the April Sacrifice Festival, I wonder what you mean?" As a high-ranking person in and out of the palace, she certainly knew all about these things.
Touching his chin, Xia Dong thought for a while, "In this way, you can find someone to help me send a letter to her, preferably as soon as possible, okay?" ”
Bowing her head gracefully, Jie Liya replied respectfully, "As you wish." ”
Standing up and walking to the desk and sitting down, Xia Dong took out a pen and paper to write a short letter, and then sealed it with fire paint, "I'm sorry for you." ”
Consciously stepped forward to take the envelope, Jie Liya bowed and was about to leave, but Xia Dong's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"In addition, you tell Yuli that these territories of his are not taken for nothing, this is the second time I have helped him, and there is another chance for him to choose carefully."
