Chapter 440: On the Truth Report
"Alas, the magic RV was destroyed......" Bernie sighed.
Doris lost again when she heard Heller mention the Magic RV.
"Ruined, did you ...... last night?"
"Hmm. Stop talking, Heller, where are they going, Mr. Bernice?"
Bernie looked at Doris with a bad look and interrupted Heller's questioning.
Heller was very shrewd, and when he heard Bernie say this, and looked at Doris's face, he immediately understood what was going on, and said, "I'll take you there, and they'll be leaving later." β
"Okay!" Bernie pulled Doris and walked out behind Heller.
With Heller leading the way, the two soon joined up with the teachers of the academy, got into the carriage, and drove in the direction of the city walls.
These civilians also lived in the command hall, and they were scared all night last night, but they only knew that the monster had attacked the barracks, but no one told them the specific situation.
They were all ordinary people, and they had no choice but to pray in their residences, and they finally didn't see the shadow of the demonic beast until dawn, so they were relieved.
Until they got into the carriage, everyone just nodded to each other, worried in their hearts, and had no desire to speak, but the carriage was very quiet, only the crisp hooves of the horses pulling the carriage were heard.
It wasn't until they left the town-like dwelling and walked onto the avenue that the people, including the coachman, let out a scream.
"Ah, look, what's that?"
"It's like a big tree. β
"How can there be such a big tree, so far away!"
"I heard that a big tree killed all those demonic beasts last night, and I thought they were bragging, but I didn't expect it to be. β
"Oh my God, the monster was killed by a big tree?"
Yaya's body is so huge that even from such a distance, it can still be seen at a glance.
Bernie and Doris also saw the giant tree in front of them, but they didn't know where it came from, and they had just been rescued from the podium by Brandie when they were in power.
When you are far away, you can only feel that the giant tree is very large, but you don't have a deep understanding of how big it is until you get closer.
Just the shadow formed by the sun shining on the giant tree made the carriage travel for nearly ten minutes before it could be separated.
Along the way, everyone looked at the giant tree and guessed its origin.
"Bernie, let's go see the giant tree. Doris whispered to Bernie in the carriage, she was very curious about the giant tree that could turn the tide.
Bernie thought for a moment before he said, "It's too late, we'd better go to the command station first, and then go to the propaganda department to read the newspaper, and when we come back in the afternoon, we'll go again." β
"Okay. Doris also knew that Bernie's work could not be delayed, so she had to suppress her curiosity first.
From the command hall to the city wall, if you are driving a magic caravan, it only takes ten minutes, but now when you take a horse-drawn car, the speed is much slower, and it takes nearly half an hour to come to the city wall.
Riding the magic ladder to the city wall with the teachers, Bernie and the others had just walked into the podium when they saw the portal to the council hall.
"Mistress Flandy is there, we need to thank him for saving his life!"
"Well, let's go!"
With that, Bernie and Doris went through the portal and went directly to Flandy's side in the council hall.
That is, the two of them, and the other teachers did not enter the identity of the council hall, so they could only take a few curious glances at the portal from the command platform and then start their work.
Magicians don't need much sleep, and there are many people who haven't slept for years, decades.
Their meditation was a complete substitute for sleep, and so was Flandy, who was now in the council hall without him having anything to do.
It's just that not to mention the enhanced version of the Spiritual Stimulation Magic Device here, not even the ordinary version, the efficiency of meditation is too low.
If it weren't for maintaining the portal to the command platform, he would have wanted to go back to the Magic Tower.
And Flandi's meditation is different from others, when others meditate, they can't see the outside world and can only vaguely sense, but he is different, even when he is meditating, he can "see" the outside world clearly.
"Watching" Bernie and Doris walking towards him, and hesitating whether to disturb him, Flandi simply quit his meditative state and opened his eyes.
"Mistress Flandy, thank you for saving me and Doris. β
"Thank you, Mistress Flandy. β
Bernie and Doris bow to Frandy together in thanks.
Flandi was not polite and accepted the two of them's thanks,
"Doris, how are you feeling now, are you feeling better?"
"Thank you for your concern, I slept in your magic tower and have recovered now. Doris said a little shyly.
"Well, go see your father, he's been worried about you all night. Franky gestured to Clarence, the Minister of Culture, who was on the podium of the House of Representatives.
"Ahh
"If something happens to you, you naturally want to let His Excellency the Minister know, how can you hide it from him. β
"Then I'll go find Abba!" Doris said, pulling Bernie to the table.
Frandy was right, from the last night when Clarence knew that her daughter was almost alive and was frightened to the point of dementia, she almost fainted.
He had been worried that Doris would have some kind of accident on the side of the Ducmahon battlefield, and it turned out that the accident did happen.
Throughout the night, Clarence was in a trance, unable to concentrate on his mental strength, and all he was thinking about was his daughter's affairs.
Although Flandy had told him that Doris was okay and that she had been sent to her magic tower by Shirley to rest, Clarence couldn't help but worry.
Fortunately, he is only the Minister of Culture, and he is responsible for propaganda and public opinion, and the most important thing now is to count the battle damage and strengthen the defense, so he has nothing to do.
"Abba, I'm coming!" said Doris, trying to pretend she had nothing to do, and bounced up to Clarence.
But no matter how hard she tried to pretend, she could hide the haggard on her face and the scars on her body, and Clarence almost burst into tears as she watched her precious daughter.
There were two blood marks on her face alone, one on her hands, and several scratches on her clothes, I don't know if she was injured.
But looking at Doris's appearance, it was obvious that he didn't want to be sad, and Clarence could only endure it and pretend to be fine.
In the end, I couldn't help but ask, "Doris, are you okay?" β
"Abba, I'm fine, don't you see I'm fine!" Doris spun around in place for Clarence to check.
Indeed, except for the torn clothes, there were indeed no major injuries, Clarence just heard that his daughter was too frightened, and now he sees that his daughter's spirit is not bad, and the heart that has been carrying it has finally been relaxed.
"It's okay, it's okay. β
"Abba, it was Master Flandy who rescued me yesterday, and then I went to his magic tower to rest, what happened next? I saw that very, very big tree when I came, did it really save everyone?"
"That's right, the giant tree was also invited by Brandy, and although I didn't see it with my own eyes, it was. β
"Ah, Mistress Flandy invited you?" Bernie and Doris were taken aback again, and before they knew it, their admiration for Flandy deepened.
"That'...... Abba, soldiers...... How much was sacrificed?" Doris thought of the soldier who had been bitten off half of his body by the monster and thrown onto the front windshield of the magical RV.
It's the nightmare of her life, and she can't help but shudder whenever she thinks about it.
Clarence was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "The losses are very large, only now that the statistics have been made, the soldiers have died more than fifty thousand. β
"Fifty thousand!?" both of them were taken aback, and they didn't react for a long time.
What is the concept of 50,000 people? There are more people than the entire southern district of the imperial capital! If we stand together, we can describe it as a sea of people.
"Hmm......" Clarence nodded heavily.
At this time, Glenn also saw Doris and Bernie, who also stayed up all night in the council hall, but not as leisurely as Flandy, and did not even have time to meditate.
"Doris, how is it now?"
"Ah, Your Majesty, thank you for your concern, I'm fine. β
"Listen to Flandie, it was you who asked him for help and found that the monster attacked the barracks from underground?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, if it weren't for the magic RV that Lord Flandy gave us, we wouldn't even have a chance to call for help. β
"The magic caravan is a small matter, I'll give you a better one later, and now I have a task for you. GΓΌlen said solemnly.
As soon as Doris heard that GΓΌlen said that there was a task for her, she immediately became energetic and said seriously: "Your Majesty, please say, I will definitely work hard to do it." β
"There is some information here about this battle, and we have suffered great losses as human beings, but we must not hide it, and we must publish the facts in the newspapers, so that they do not spread more and more outrageously, as we did last time. β
"Understand, don't worry, I will definitely write an article seriously and truthfully!"
"And ......" GΓΌlen thought for a moment with an expressionless face, and said decisively: "You can put the girl ...... The story of how the dryads helped humanity through this difficult time was published in the newspapers. β
"Dryad, you mean the giant tree?"
"Yes, if there's anything you don't understand about the dryads, you can ask Frandi. β
"Okay, I'll go now, do you have any other orders?"
"No, go get busy, remember to be real. β
Bernie and Doris had always been very curious about the dryads, and now that they had the permission of His Majesty the Emperor, of course they had to ask Franky in detail.
