Chapter 57: Temporary Cooperation
Carmen Alicia, Jotun, and Misty sat in a cabin at the Winged Outpost of Venetian Yars, surrounded by a number of winged men, cursing from the outside, as if they were being attacked because of Alicia and the others. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Meow, I don't think they hate me very much. Jotun said briskly.
Alicia smiled bitterly at Jotun, these winged people do not have a great hatred for races other than humans, I am afraid that in their eyes, those cruel orcs are more popular than humans.
"Let's kill these cruel humans!" Outside, a number of winged people shouted, while Asadi and some sane wingmen stopped them and dissuaded them.
Alicia heard the shouting and scolding outside, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, the war between humans and winged people thousands of years ago, it is estimated that humans have long forgotten about it, but for the winged people, it is still so unforgettable, maybe for the winged people with a lifespan of three or four hundred years, the defeat thousands of years ago will make them never forget.
"Get out of here, don't protect these humans!" still a winged man roared in anger outside.
"Don't be impulsive! everything will have to wait until Mr. Assad returns, and he will decide the life and death of these humans!" Aisadi tried to dissuade, and he promised Miria that he would do his best to protect the safety of Alicia and the others.
"Hey, little Ellie, if you're all executed, how will I explain to Captain Battista when I return to the Free Frontier?" Jotun said with a smile.
"Jotun! It's not funny at all!" Although Alicia knew that Jotun wanted to liven up the atmosphere, his method of activating himself was really not a good idea, and although Alicia felt that she would be safe, she was very worried about Misty.
As soon as Alicia thought of this, she looked at Misty, who was sitting on the side, silently playing with her fingers, Alicia really didn't know if the emotionless Misty would find it interesting to fiddle with her fingers like this, or just to kill time without emotion.
"Hey, little witch, do you think my words are interesting?" Jotun shouted at Misty, who glanced up at Jotun and ignored it, continuing to fiddle with his fingers.
"Hey......" Jotun felt very depressed, and he wanted to continue calling out to Misty.
"Okay Jotun, that's really not funny!" Alicia interrupted Jotun's words, Jordon stroked his beard, looking very bored, Alicia also knew in her heart that Jotun would also worry about Misty, as well as Tully and others who were traveling, so he wanted to do his best to liven up the atmosphere, but that method was really bad.
"I'm sorry I don't feel like it's funny. Misty spoke suddenly, she had always been reluctant to talk much, and every time she spoke, she was not too likable, but this time Misty said sorry, which surprised both Alicia and Jordan.
"Meow, haven't you lost your emotions?" asked Jotun.
"What I say is just what I feel I should say. Misty smiled slightly, then toyed with her fingers again.
Jotun scratched his head, it was certain that no one could have a good conversation with Misty, not even the all-powerful Tali Fellow.
Alicia has a little more sadness in her heart, Misty's smile will always make Alicia sympathize with her more in her heart, for Misty, the smile is just a kind of facial action that she thinks should be expressed, just like a mask, unable to connect with her heart, lose emotion, what a terrible curse it is.
"Teacher Assad is back!" Outside the house, there was a sudden excited shout from the winged people. Alicia immediately put away her emotions, she noticed that Jotun was looking at her, Alicia nodded at Jotun, next, there are very important things for her to face, she must be ready.
Assad dragged his tired body through the crowd, and Asadi greeted him at the right time, he simply and clearly described to Assad what happened at the outpost, Assad heard it, his brows tightened, as if he could no longer open it, he gently pushed Asadi away, and angrily pushed open the door of the cabin where Alicia and the three people were, and walked straight in.
After Assad entered the door, he saw Alicia standing straight in front of him, Alicia's age is not very old at first glance, but Asad can deeply feel the powerful aura exuded by Alicia, worthy of being the queen of the night, there must be something extraordinary, Assad himself knows that he must not take this little human girl lightly.
"Queen of the Night! I've been making you suffer!" Assad said menacingly to Alicia, and although he said so, there was no apology on his face.
"Just call me Alicia, you are Miria's teacher, then I will also call you Asad teacher. Alicia smiled and whispered.
"Humph!" Assad snorted.
"We're still polite, and we don't know each other, so I'll call you Queen Carmen!" Assad said aggressively.
Assad's actions made Jotun quite angry, but Alicia didn't say anything, so Jotun would not explode his dissatisfaction, as a high-level ranger, Jotun still understands this basic truth. And Misty was still like an outsider, just smiling and looking at everything in front of him.
In fact, for Alicia, she also sneered at Assad, the so-called politeness of the winged people, Alicia didn't feel it at all, she only felt unpleasant malice. Of course, a few winged people such as Asadi still made Alicia feel the politeness of this ancient race, but after all, it was a minority, and Alicia was still only eighteen years old, with joys and sorrows, regardless of her status.
However, Alicia's reason will still prevail over her sensibility, and Alicia only smiled slightly, ignoring Assad's slightly provocative words, and bowed slightly.
"Whatever you think, my politeness will still be to call you Mr. Assad. Alicia said softly, her demeanor was quite elegant, which made Assad very uncomfortable, and with an arrogant demeanor, it seemed that Assad was too uncultivated, and Assad had to nod slightly.
"Queen Carmen! The rest of your men seem to be able to escape pretty quickly. Assad changed the subject, trying to target Alicia with Tully and others.
"Teacher Assad, I think you misunderstood, they are definitely not running away, they are helping you and your wingmen, I think Asady should have told you all this, you don't pretend not to know, right?" Alicia smiled slightly, and said without being humble or arrogant.
Assad frowned unhappily, of course he knew why they left, how could he not know, Asadi had already told him all this simply and clearly when he saw him, Assad felt that he was completely bored.
"Do you trust your men so much? They may leave you and run away, after all, they are only human beings, and selfishness is human nature. ”
Assad stared at Alicia coldly, for Alicia, Assad didn't have much affection, on the one hand, because Alicia was a human, on the other hand, Alicia was too shrewd, too shrewd human, would always make the wings feel uncomfortable.
"You're right, selfishness is probably human nature. Alicia also stared at Assad, and said softly, for this, Alicia did not want to deny, selfish people, she has seen too many, and even in this trip, she has seen many greedy and selfish humans.
"Hah! I can't believe that you little doll is quite self-aware!" Assad smiled smugly when he saw that Alicia had admitted to the bad habits of humans, and this time he seemed to have forgotten who Alicia was.
"But I trust them deeply, and trust is a virtue to be proud of. Alicia held her head high and stared at Assad coldly, which made Assad very uncomfortable.
"Trust your subordinates so much, be careful and wait until the day of betrayal, you will regret it!" Assad said to Alicia quite dissatisfied, I don't know if this is a kind reminder, of course, in Assad's heart, there is no such kindness to mankind.
"Thank you, Mr. Assad, for your concern, but I would like to correct you a little, they are not my subordinates, but my partners, my family, for my family, if I have the slightest distrust, then how can I be worthy of governing the free frontier, and how can I let all my people live a life of real stability and prosperity, free from war and the threat of evil creatures. ”
Alicia's confidence and sincerity also made Assad can't help but admire in his heart, he has heard of the Queen of the Night for a long time, and this time they met, sure enough, those rumors are not nonsense.
"What a boring conversation......" Suddenly, Misty, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but speak, his tone was still so cold and unpleasant.
Assad was immediately attracted to Misty, and Alicia and Jordan were secretly screaming badly, Jotun even stomped his feet angrily, Alicia and Jotun both knew that Assad would definitely target Misty, after all, Misty is a human ......
"This is also your partner?" Assad still stared at Misty, but he said it to Alicia.
"That's right, she's my companion too!" Alicia quickly replied, fearing something wrong, but it happened.
"No, I don't have a partner, and I don't need a partner. Misty was taken aback by saying this, because he couldn't imagine Misty's identity and condition.
"Since you're not a partner, you're just an ordinary human who broke into Venice Yar, do you think you can get out of here alive?" Assad said coldly to Misty.
"If you can't live, then die, do you think I'll care?" Misty seemed to be fine, her actions were simply unpredictable to Assad, and he looked at Alicia, who smiled bitterly.
She ...... She was deprived of emotion by a curse. Alicia said truthfully.
And told Assad honestly about his acquaintance with Misty and other things, this story, but it made Assad have more respect for Alicia, Alicia only felt that it was difficult for Misty to live alone, so she decided to protect her, although this decision was very nosy, but it couldn't help but make people feel admirable.
"I respect your decision, Queen Carmen, but Venice Yar has its own rules. Assad said coldly, which made Alicia feel very bad.
"What will happen to me? Die? That's better than following these fools, who have a chance to escape, but they have to save you, it's stupid. Misty smiled, as if she was saying something interesting, but her tone was always so cold.
Misty was venting her frustration, and Alicia suddenly understood Misty's intentions, she was a person who couldn't communicate with people at all, and perhaps the only person in the world who could communicate well with her was the dead wesker the wesker.
Even if Misty lacks emotion, she still has the direction she wants to choose, and the approach of Alicia and others is obviously unable to get Misty's approval, but Alicia also feels that there is no way, after all, she can't run away like this, because for Alicia, the actual purpose of helping the winged people is not as simple as kindness, in Alicia's heart, there is a more obvious political intention, and Tully obviously understands what she thinks, so she doesn't try her best to oppose it.
"Very well! Then I will fulfill you! You may be pitiful, but I will not break the rules for you. Assad seemed to be really moved to kill, and he walked towards Misty step by step.
"No! you can't hurt her!" Alicia didn't hesitate at the moment, she stopped in front of Misty, and looked at Assad resolutely, sometimes, if she is too rational, Alicia is not Alicia, and Alicia can't avoid it when it comes to principles.
Assad looked at Alicia coldly, and Alicia looked at Assad without fear, the two sides were at a stalemate, Assad already had some understanding of Alicia and some admiration, but he was an old stubborn, at this time, he didn't want to show weakness.
"Teacher Assad, all the women who were taken by the orcs have returned!"
Just when Alicia and Assad were in a stalemate, Asadi suddenly rushed in excitedly, Assad saw Asadi say this, so he hurried out of the house, and Alicia and Jordan couldn't hide their happiness, and also followed Assad out, only Misty, she was still sitting there, her head down and playing with her fingers, as if nothing had happened, Asadi glanced at Misty strangely, and walked out.
"Are you all alright, kids?" asked Assad, in a soft tone, toward the returning wingers.
"Hey, hey, Mr. Assad, we're fine! thanks to the humans!" it was Aveline who spoke, excited to be rescued, and even more excited to meet someone interesting.
Aveline's words caused a lot of discussion among the winged people around her, who wanted to continue to question these humans, but these women were indeed returned, and testified that they were saved by those humans.
"What the hell is going on?" tell me 1510. Assad is full of questions about this.
Aveline smiled and told Assad and all the wingmen present what had happened to them, and the wingmen listened to their plight, scolding and sighing, and they all began to show gratitude and respect for Alicia and her companions.
Alicia and Jotun listened to Aveline's narration and smiled at each other, Tully and the others really did not disappoint Alicia, and their approach would undoubtedly make many things more and more clear.
In the end, those people said that they would continue to chase and that they would not let the evil plans of those evil people succeed. Aveline concluded, drawing Assad's nod, and now Tully's party was, no doubt, a great hope for the Venetian Yar-wings.
After listening to Aveline's words, Assad turned her head again and stared at Alicia, who smiled slightly and also looked at Assad, who was waiting for Assad's conclusion.
"Alright, Queen Carmen of the Free Frontier, let Venice Yar and the Free Frontier form an alliance for the time being, and I will send a letter to Venice Yar immediately to inform me of everything here, and I think our Queen Elast will agree with my decision. Assad gave Alicia a faint smile.
Alicia also smiled brighter, and Alicia knew in her heart that this was an important step, and although the cooperation between the Free Frontier and Venice Yar was only temporary, it could open a solid foundation for the future.
