Chapter 70: The Bottom Line

Get out of the carriage.

Blue Dream followed Alexei, and she looked around, and by the faint light, she could see the vigorous grass beneath her feet.

She had taken two steps, and by this time the fire, wet with firewood, had long since been extinguished, and the camp was completely chaotic in total darkness and darkness. Screams rang out everywhere, and no one knew who had been attacked where, but it seemed that the Fremlin's sortie had worked, at least the arrows no longer shuttled over the camp, and the terrifying howl of the arrows as they pierced the air was no longer heard.

"You killed them?" Lan Meng felt that she had stepped on something soft, and when she looked down, under the dim moonlight, the sparse silhouette formed a terrifying picture, she turned her head to the side with disgust, "Did they offend you?"

"Oh, you mean if they don't offend me, I can't kill them?"

Alexei laughed, "That's too restrictive. ”

"You can rest assured, though, that these people just fell asleep. ”

The mage who was happy in his heart was about to talk to Lan Meng again, when suddenly, he heard a low sound of rustling in the forest not far away, and some branches and leaves were artificially swept away.

Alexey's spiritual tentacles arrived.

"The winner has been decided. ”

"Who won. Lan Meng asked.

"Robbers. ”

"The smugglers didn't see the road well, they stepped into the trap that the robbers had set up early in the morning. ”

Alexei shrugged: "As soon as the rest of the people saw that the leader was subdued, they immediately threw their spears and surrendered. ”

"But it's not bad, at least they know how to resist. ”

Alexey patted his sleeve: "Now, it's our turn to play." ”

"Why?!"

"Why don't you come sooner. Lan Meng's face was puzzled, "Since you made up your mind to help the caravan from the beginning, why wait until they fail?"

"Sometimes help makes people grateful, but if you choose to stand by and watch at the beginning, your subsequent help will only lead to resentment. ”

Lan Meng was very puzzled by this: "You don't look like such a person, such a ......"

The girl found herself a little difficult to describe, she had a pimple twice, and finally chose one word to sum up Alexey: "A fool who harms others and does not benefit himself." ”

"And.......," she analyzes from all angles, "once you choose to help, your identity is inevitably revealed." With your strength, you can do better, you can show your identity as a mage from the beginning, and they will not dare to disrespect you. ”

"Then I won't have to nibble on that damn, hard piece of bread. As soon as she thought of this, Lan Meng's emotions were instantly mobilized, and she protested angrily to Alexey's full plan, "It's really stupid, it's not like a mage can do stupid things." ”

"Hi hi, girl. Alex clapped his hands playfully, "You mean to say that you don't support me helping them?"

"No, how could it be! That's not what I meant. Hearing this, she was like a rabbit burned to the butt by fire, and immediately became emotional and loudly denied, "I am not a cold-blooded and ruthless beast like you, if you hadn't blocked my magic now, I would have killed all those robbers a long time ago." ”

"Huh. Alexei laughed to express his disdain for Blue Dream, of course he knew whether what the girl was thinking was the same as what she said, he was just deliberately misinterpreting the other party's meaning so that she would be embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, don't get so excited. ”

He pressed his hand and motioned for Lan Meng to calm down:

"I understand what you want to express, Her Royal Highness the princess with her name engraved in the Sun Palace, but the truth is far from being as simple as you think. ”

"Why don't you move your little brain?"

Alexeina touched his head with his fingertips: "Since you are always spitting on me for being shameless, then you must substitute this adjective into my style, Your Highness." ”

"So ......"

"Don't judge my means by your naivety. ”

The mage reached out contemptuously, grabbed the girl's chin, forcibly lifted her head up, and after glancing at him under the moon, he could easily see a mixture of humiliation and anger inside. He then let go of his hand with great pleasure, watched the girl cover her face and retreat away, and said with a smile: "Let me teach you what a qualified and lawful citizen should do in order to win the king's favor." ”

Alexei raised a finger: "One!"

"The robbers robbed the caravan. ”

He raised his second finger: "Two!"

"They're criminals, aren't they?"

Then the third finger: "Three!"

"I have now exterminated the robbers who have done evil and disturbed the peace, am I brave and courageous? Am I courageous and virtuous? I know, my princess, if the people of the city know about this, the sheriff of Darune will have to give me a medal and call me an excellent citizen!"

"But......." Although she knew that the twists and turns in this were not compatible with righteousness and bravery, Lan Meng, who was choked by this set of rhetoric and couldn't open her mouth for a while, couldn't refute it for a while, she "but, no, no" for a long time, she still didn't think about how to refute, so she had to puff out a face, lower her head and secretly think about the joints.

Alexei didn't take advantage of the victory, and instead brought up another topic: "Don't you think the treatment is bad? Don't you think we didn't go fast enough? ”

The council mage, known as the Elemental Child, spread out his mental tentacles, and several of the fastest workers were already about to leave the wooded area near the road. He whispered softly, with a smile in his words: "Ha, now even the human certificate is complete." ”

Magic rose around him, and lightning brewed in his palm.

"Princess, please choose, the camps, the robbers, the caravans, everything, will be the rightful property of me, Alexey Adrian. You can choose the color you like, whether it's white or dark, stallion or mare, whatever you like. ”

"I don't want to. Although it is impossible to make a reasonable refutation according to the imperfect laws of the kingdom, it does not mean that Blue Dream is willing to convince himself that what Alexei is about to do at this moment is not contrary to the morality of common sense.

Even if she couldn't resist, she was extremely reluctant to go along with Alexey.

Even in the days of the Black Stork, Lan Meng has never interfered in the specific affairs of the gang in the real sense.

Passive doing and active acceptance may have the same result, but from the point of view of the starting point and the meaning of personal conduct, the two are far from the same.

And for Lan Meng, this is the bottom line she has to stick to, even if she has a penny, she doesn't intend to accept the way of depravity given by Alexey.

However, just as the world does not revolve around one person, when a matter is dominated by someone else, and the person in charge is extremely stubborn and powerful, the other person's opinion will not change or compromise because of your personal will.

It's like thisβ€”

"You don't want it?"

"The funniest joke. Alexei twisted his neck and tilted his head, in the woods at night, there were robbers in leather armor who had begun to walk out of the woods with their booty one after another, "Do I give you this choice?"
