Chapter 323: If it's true love, why be afraid of thousands of miles
Now that the positions of these slaves have been allocated, Zhao Yulong is idle again. He hates this kind of time the most, because doing things allows him to focus on doing things and forget about everything else.
But once you stop, these memories have to come back to your mind, making you feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Although these outsiders seem to be a trivial matter, Zhao Yulong always feels that life is a lot boring without losing that crazy girl.
In the past, when I was free, I would always talk to her a lot. Although this girl's thinking is still very naΓ―ve, and she speaks and does things according to her mood, Zhao Yulong is very happy to chat with her.
And now that she's not by her side, she really doesn't know how to spend this free time. However, it is obvious that Zhao Yulong does not have much free time, and since he became a lord, he has inevitably had a lot of things.
But this is just right, at least it can pass the time for him. It's just that he hopes that he will never have free time, so that he won't think about someone all the time, and it's really not very comfortable to think about it all the time like now.
But there are not so many things for him to do in this world, no matter how many things he puts into his category, but there is always a lot of time left. Even if you stand slowly during the day, you will inevitably remember it at night.
So in the face of such a sleepless night, Zhao Yulong usually chooses to cultivate. But this is not his own body after all, although this is the incarnation refined by an immortal in ancient times, but how many years has it been.
And no one knew that this incarnation was refined by him when he was in what realm, Zhao Yulong just knew that this incarnation was much worse than his own body.
It is absolutely impossible to cultivate at a high intensity all the time, and if you keep cultivating without resting, not only will you not speed up your cultivation, but you will also be injured in your body.
Zhao Yulong naturally wouldn't do this kind of thing that outweighed the losses, so he had to rest for a period of time when he used this body to cultivate. And when you rest, if you are idle at night, you have nothing to do, so you can't help but think that there is one less person next to you.
And if it is not very useful to rely on the method of diverting attention, Zhao Yulong is not fun, and he is not interested in these. If you read a book, you always want to share it with others whenever you see a classic place, but when you are ready to speak, you will remember that the other person is no longer by your side.
Therefore, reading will not work, not only will he not let himself get rid of this thought, but it will also deepen his own thoughts. Therefore, it was only at this time that Zhao Yulong realized that sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to be too sober-minded.
But this is the reality, and I can only accept it. After all, it's thousands of miles away from me, and it takes a lot of time to get there. Even if you go there by yourself, you will definitely not be able to survive with your own strength, let alone find your own body on that huge snow-capped mountain, which is tantamount to looking for a needle in the bottom of the sea.
Just as he was thinking about it, a voice interrupted Zhao Yulong's thoughts: "I'm sorry, Your Highness the Lord, can I come in?" I also want to do something with you, although I know that I may not agree with your request, but in this city, I am a girl looking for something to do, and no one wants me." β
I could tell it was a woman's voice. Zhao Yulong looked over and realized that this was the girl he had seen smiling at himself before.
"What are you doing here? I don't want to say anything nasty, but you can't afford a weapon, you can't join my army, you can't be a worker. β
"But I suppose you have other needs, you can't see a weak woman like me helpless!" the girl began to cry as she spoke.
"But judging by your attire, you should be from an aristocratic family. Your father or some uncle must be a lord too! you can go back and come back to them, why stay with me?"
Although Zhao Yulong was very interested in how she became a slave, it was a little rude to ask a girl these questions. It's like asking a wounded person how you got hit, and it feels like the words are mocking.
Therefore, Zhao Yulong didn't ask, but relied on other words to gradually test it.
"But how do you think a slave can have money?"
"Otherwise, tell me where your home is, and I'll ask my generals to take you back. β
"I can't go back! I can't go back!" said the girl, crying, "I am not a Catlea, I am the daughter of a lord in a neighboring country. But because of the failure of the political struggle, all of our families were killed. Because of my low status in the family, I was demoted to a slave, and it took me several times to get to His Royal Highness. Even if you send someone to escort me back, I won't be able to go back. β
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that. You know, I just want you back to your family. To be honest, seeing others crying really made Zhao Yulong a little difficult to deal with.
He seldom tries to comfort others from crying, because no one around him will cry. Maybe everyone will be sad, but for them it's more about talking than crying. So now seeing a girl crying in front of her, this is really a little overwhelming.
If it is an ordinary comfort method in the West, it is generally to go up and give him a warm hug, but as an Oriental, he pays attention to whether men and women give or receive kisses, not to mention that he is still a person he doesn't know, what kind of body is this hugging and hugging.
I want to persuade, but what can I persuade? Tell her that political fighting is so cruel, either you die or I live? This is obviously unlikely, so Zhao Yulong didn't say anything, only watched her cry, maybe she didn't cry after crying.
"It's okay, it has nothing to do with His Highness the Lord. It's just that I think of what happened to me and feel uncomfortable, which doesn't matter. After crying for a while, the woman stopped crying somewhat.
"Well, that's fine. But I really don't have anything to do for you here, because it's all rough work, and it's obviously not appropriate for you, a noble lady, to do this. If you want, I think you can go to a certain temple and become a goddess, so that you can still gain the respect and respect of many people. β
"But I won't, our family doesn't believe in God, and I don't want to think about this greatness and that greatness every day. In my opinion, they are not as great as His Highness the Lord. Those gods say every day that God wants to benefit all living beings, but why are there still so many slaves in the world, and what have they done? It's not much, but you're a true god. β
"Yes, perhaps, but I think the gods would not be happy to hear these words. Zhao Yulong nodded, to be honest, he actually didn't think much of these so-called gods.
Maybe in the eyes of these ordinary people, those guys who fly around in the sky with wings are gods. But Zhao Yulong knew that these guys were not gods, they were just people with strong bloodlines.
They don't have the strength of the gods in the ancient books, nor do they have the feelings of immortals who have the feelings of sentient beings. They just live for themselves, exist for their own benefit.
For them, these people in the Nether are just a bunch of ants, who can usually be fooled by a few words from them. It's ridiculous to pity these people in the lower realm who still regard them as their own faith, as gods in their hearts.
Now that such a noble girl has the same idea as himself, Zhao Yulong is naturally happy, so he has a good impression of her.
"So what? They hear the praises of them every day, but when have they really helped anyone? Isn't it us who have done anything in the end? Since they have not helped us with anything, but have received so much praise, what is it for me to say a few words to them?"
"Of course, it's nothing, but I'm not the god of your heart. I don't think you have to believe in me, because I can't give you anything. I don't think I can give you what you want to do now, so you have to find things to do yourself. β
"No, you can help me, and I'm sure you need me to do things. I will do a lot of things, I can help His Highness with all the household chores, and I will cook a lot of dishes to make sure that His Highness will like it. β
"I'm curious why you do so many things, isn't it right to stay at home and enjoy life as a nobleman? Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious. Because you can see that we have different skin colors, and I am not Western, so I don't know much about some things in the West, so I am just curious to ask. β
As he spoke, Zhao Yulong suddenly became cautious. Although he didn't know why he was wary of the girl in front of him, Zhao Yulong always felt that something was wrong.
"This ...... This, this is because my status in the family is not very high, although my father is a lord. But he didn't just take me a child, I also had older brothers and sisters, and I was the lowest in the whole family. So when the maids were running out of manpower, they asked me to do things, so I learned that. Your Highness, I beg you to leave me, or I have nowhere else to go!" said a few more tears.
Truth be told, the tears looked particularly haggard on her somewhat pale face. Tears fell to the ground along the tip of his nose, and the hall was so quiet at this time, and the sound of tears falling on the ground was particularly obvious.
And her pretty face drenched with tears looked a little weak and pale, and to tell the truth, such a beautiful woman was accompanied by such pure tears, and other men would surely be moved by it. Even not only men, but even women can be moved.
But Zhao Yulong is the only one who is outside the ranks, even if he is so haggard in front of himself. His heartbeat was still the same, and even the number of beats between breaths and the time of each beat did not change.
It was as if there was nothing in front of him, and now he said, "You can do a lot of things." Since the cooking skills are good, being a cook is not a bad thing. β
"But women can't be cooks, and they won't want me when I go. β
"This ...... But why do you think I'm going to want you, after you know that I have not many servants to see as a lord!
"No, but I thought you wanted me to stay with you by looking at me more, but ...... I'm sorry Your Highness, but I'm too careful, excuse me. As he spoke, he covered his face with his sleeve and cried and ran outside, and the cry was not small, and it made people feel a little desolate to hear.
In this way, Zhao Yulong had to stop her: "Wait, you better stay! I think I need someone to clean up here." β
Hearing this, the girl smiled to herself, and then turned around: "Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness, then I'll go clean up here now." β
"Well, well, but remember to laugh more and don't cry in the future, understand? What is your name? I don't know what to call you yet. β
"My name is Ellie Mommy, and Your Highness can call me Ellie. From this day forward, I am a servant of His Highness. Your Highness can find Ellie for everything she commands, and as long as Ellie can do it, I can do it. As she spoke, her face flushed.
"Okay, Ellie, go down! The books in my study are not allowed to be touched, and the dirty things on the floor are cleaned. I don't think you need to tell you anything else, you know what you should do and what you shouldn't do. And I hope that what I say about your background is true, and if I find out that you are cheating on me, I will not hesitate to kill a liar, even if the other party is a girl, understand?"
"Understand, I'm going to do it well. As he spoke, he walked towards Zhao Yulong.
Zhao Yulong was about to look at the book at this time, but when he saw her walking towards him, he continued to ask: "Why are you walking towards me instead of working?"
"Because I think Your Highness needs me to accompany you to chat, after all, such a book shouldn't have much meaning!"
"Whether it is interesting or not is my own business, as a maid you should know that the master's orders are the most important. I told you to clean, and you went to clean, where did you get so many words?"
"But I saw the thoughts in His Highness's eyes, it should be the girl His Highness likes!" she didn't do what Zhao Yulong said, but stood aside and said.
"Did I say I missed someone, and how do you know he must be a girl?" If it was usual, someone told Zhao Yulong that the woman's intuition was very smart, and he didn't believe it, but now he did.
"Because His Highness's eyes when he reads a book tell me that she must be a beautiful girl, so that His Highness can lose his mind when he reads, and he must be very happy to be loved by such an infatuated man as His Highness!"
"I'm not here to make you think about these things, you should understand that I'm a person who only looks at efficiency and quality. If you can't do something, leave there. β
"I'm sorry, she's supposed to be far away from Her Highness, so I shouldn't have said that. I'm really sorry to have angered Your Highness, but Your Highness, I don't know if this sentence is right. But I think Your Highness should listen to 'If it is true love, why not be afraid of a thousand miles'. No matter how far away it is, as long as the hearts of the two are together, what is this distance?"
"You're right, no matter how far away you are, as long as you have a thought in your heart, she will always appear in your heart. But you're wrong, she's not the person I like, she's just my best friend. To be honest, he didn't know what his relationship with the butterfly was.
If it is about friendship, the relationship between the two of them will inevitably leap a lot. And if it is said that love, it is absolutely impossible, neither of them said who they loved, they just felt that they could talk very well.
"Is that so, Your Highness, then I think I'm thinking too much, I'm sorry, you know that we girls like to think about love. After all, what girl in this world doesn't want to have a prince charming who falls in love at first sight, and doesn't want to have a lifelong love that she never regrets. β
"Yes, I know, but you should know that my gender means I can't think like you. Maybe that's our generation gap, so now I'm reading my book, and before I'm reading it, I want the garbage on the ground to go where it's supposed to be. β
"Okay!" Now Ellie finally obeyed Zhao Yulong's order, and took a broom to sweep away the garbage that fell on the ground.
And Zhao Yulong is still sitting here reading, yes, still reading. It's not that this book is wonderful that attracts his attention, it's just that the knot is untied, and now there is no knot, and he is concentrating on doing things, and this book can naturally be read.
"If it's true love, why not be afraid of a thousand miles. I am separated from her and it is not only thousands of miles, but there seems to be no difference between thousands of miles and thousands of miles, anyway, there is a day when we meet, why should I be so fragmented, forget about reading and reading. It seems that there is one soul missing, and my emotions are indeed a little troublesome. β
Valea region, which is a buffer zone between Catalea and Warit. A large part of the land here is unmanaged, and both sides want to occupy it, but no one has ever succeeded.
Because Warit's national strength is not strong, there are not many people who can lead troops to fight, so it has not been able to occupy any advantage. This should have been an advantage for Catlea, but this huge empire is in the hands of the duke.
Although both Silver Amber and the Duke wanted to take this place, Silver Amber did not have many troops to go on the expedition. And the duke was worried that he would send a large army, and Silver Amber took advantage of his men to destroy it without anyone else.
So the region has always been a small struggle that doesn't make it to the climate, but today it's a little different. Because it seems that there is another force in the region.
