The Gray Witch, a woman who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, knows that it is a bad thing to serve a princess who cannot be controlled. ,
The disappearance of the magical princess has little to do with Zhou Shu, even if the princess really chooses the eighth world to 'stay' among the four worlds, she may not make any trouble, after all, her purpose is to hide and not to cause trouble for others.
Regarding the situation of the royal family in the wizarding world, in fact, it is just a big family, which is supported by many magical nobles. Although it is the same as the nature of the king, but the magic world as a whole relies on the management of the three major magic academies, although these kingdoms are divided into countries, but most of them are reflected in culture, there is almost no difference in politics, and the royal family has no rights, not even the right of veto.
Despite this, the huge resources and voice they have can influence the three major academies, and this is probably the case with the entire wizarding world.
Zhou Shu removed the translator while talking on the phone, and Nati, as a fool who was mixed in with the aristocracy, even knew how to consciously remove the translator when the two attributes collided, and did not listen to this point.
After putting down the phone, a table of people looked at Zhou Shu blankly, not knowing what this guy was doing talking to a 'small plank' for a long time.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a little bit of a bad thing. Zhou Shu sighed, and before the hundred tongues opened his mouth to disturb his eating, he quickly stuffed a fried bread into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.
Baiyu really likes to see this man's sad face, and he smiled and withdrew with his own official documents. Snake Bird asked Zhou Shu on the side if he wanted to go to the city with him to watch the wedding tomorrow, saying that someone from the city was going to get married, which was probably the first couple after the end of the military administration.
In this era of little entertainment, watching other people's families get married has become a pastime. Zhou Shu expressed some interest, he still cares about the customs of various countries. Too deeply influenced by college majors.
Nati remembered that she needed to get up early to go to the military headquarters tomorrow, and considering that she might need it tonight, it was better to finish what she had to do quickly. Instead of going to bed, I went to interrogate the prisoners, and I guess the military side has already started.
Leaving from the dinner table, Zhou Shu followed Nati to the city prison. All the above-ground buildings in the prison here are cantonment barracks. The prisoners were all kept underground, and it was a very pure dungeon. However, the prisoners who were interrogated would bring the dungeon to the square, and Zhou Shu did not have to enter the dirty underground full of American Feilian.
The interrogation had been going on in the dark for a long time, and three or five of the dozens of prisoners who had finally been captured had been disabled and more than a dozen had died, and the atmosphere in the entire prison square was terrifying.
There is no way to kill people, after all, the rebel group has killed too many soldiers, and none of the officers and soldiers have a good impression of them, and they do not apply unnecessary mercy to them.
Zhou Shu didn't care about such a 'trivial matter' as a dead person. If it was a beautiful girl who died, he would probably feel distressed, but it was just a waste.
Nati now has a bigger face in the military department than Zhou Shu, and when the soldiers saw the two of them appear, they shouted 'Lady Nati' first, and then 'Lord Earl'.
The two hurried to the square where the prisoners were interrogated, which was already filled with torches and a bonfire with an old-fashioned soldering iron in it. Several maimed people and corpses were piled aside. Shocked the prisoners who knelt on the ground. The soldiers grabbed their weapons and surrounded them, and the whole scene was very solemn.
Zhou Shu is timid by nature. Seeing that this scene was a little uncomfortable, Nati didn't feel anything wrong.
Asked a little about the progress of the interrogation, and in one sentence, "No one recruited." ”
As soon as the officer finished speaking, a group of kneeling captives cried and shouted, "We really don't know anything. "It seems to be true.
There wasn't much information that the military ministry needed. The first is the overall size of the Resistance, the Justice, then the name, address, home and phone number of the leader, and the stronghold where people and supplies are hidden.
None of these things are for the low-ranking members to learn, at least for the first two.
Zhou Shu believes that most of these people are ignorant of these news. But there must be someone among them who knows something. These insiders mingled among the ignorant masses and disguised themselves as safe, so the military department tortured them one by one to exert psychological pressure on these people.
Naturally, Nati knew this, and stood up to the captives and said, "There must be one or two of you who have the news I want. Give you a chance to take the initiative to stand up and kill some of your companions less. ”
Explain the matter openly and honestly, in fact, the interrogator of the military department explained at the beginning that Nati repeated it again.
The inquisitor was a giant weighing nearly three hundred, with a height of two meters, which looked terrifying. Nati is a big beauty wearing tight leather pants, and her tight buttocks loom under the armor skirt, and the two say the same thing, and the effect is naturally different.
"Bitch, if you want you to do it for me, I'll sue you!"
There was such a noise among the captives, and Natty took a few melon seeds from her pocket and threw them over, causing the talking fellow to break with a few unlucky bastards beside him, and the melon seeds cut through their rough facial skin like glass shards.
Zhou Shu couldn't accept that someone was talking to Nati like this, and he wanted to go up and punch him twice, but after seeing Nati's reaction, he felt sympathy. Just said a word about the brains of the elves, and he was slapped all over the face.
Nati has a little bit of a foodie attribute, after all, she is a girl, which is understandable. There are no convenient snacks in this world, it is impossible for her to take out a packet of skittles from her pocket, Zhou Shu is also curious about her handful of sunflower seeds, if he sees that there is a purchase, he will probably buy a pack.
Just as the two of them were about to interrogate the captives, one of the few people who had been hit by the sunflower seed shot suddenly went berserk and shouted, "I was wrong! I confess! Don't kill me!"
The man's eye sockets were deep, and his face was withered, and he looked like an ancestral neuropathy. He shouted as he shifted his legs in a kneeling position trying to break out of the crowd. Some of the young men in the crowd threw the man to the ground, shouting, 'Traitor, die!'. The soldier quickly protected the man, who had been frightened by the sunflower seeds, and escorted him to the interrogator.
Obviously, this person did not come forward and confess because he was allergic to sunflower seeds. It is estimated that he had already endured too much psychological pressure during the interrogation just now, but he was released after his face was injured.
Nati clapped her hands proudly, looking like she was ready to call it a day after finishing her work, as if she had really pulled people out.
Zhou Shu wouldn't lose face in front of so many people, otherwise he would have played her head a long time ago, and he wouldn't have seen Nati alive here.
Eat Nati's leftover sunflower seeds. Zhou Shu followed and listened to the thin man explain the situation.
He is also one of the more prominent members of the Justice Society, and has just been excluded from the core members recently. The reason is very simple, young, and not highly qualified.
It turns out that young people are more afraid of things than old people. Nati also caught some of the older members of the Justice Society, but they committed suicide without giving the army a chance to torture them.
Now those who committed suicide have been in vain, and others have come forward to explain the problem. The JSC is in a state of crisis, according to the man. There are no more than five strongholds left, and there may be three or four more secret strongholds that serve as treasure vaults, and perhaps secret tunnels inherited from the castle lord, and that's all there is to it.
As for the personnel problem, the number of core members has not been left in many purges, and there is no way to give a list, most of them are black households with no records, and there is no relative to arrest and threaten. As for the location of the stronghold, the man said it all.
In addition to this, the man provided an interesting piece of news.
The Justice Society is partially funded by the East Country. Now that it has been hit hard, it is likely that Tonokuni will send support along the already open trade routes.
Zhou Shu listened to these things. I don't know what I'm going to do next. Fortunately, he, the city lord, has enough people under him, and there are many capable people in the army, all of whom have a bad stomach.
As a combatant, Nati got together with a group of people from the military headquarters, ready to give justice a good look tomorrow. Zhou Shu, as an earl, was invited back to the castle to sleep. Originally, he still wanted to join the operation. It's a fun or something.,But I made an appointment with the snake bird for dinner to go to someone else's house to get married.,So I gave up.。
Today's Zhou Shu and Nati have a little bit of a heart, and the things they think about are the same a lot of times, after all, they have been in contact for so long. It can be regarded as a certain degree of mutual influence.
Nati had planned to bring Zhou Shu to her bed tonight and let him take good care of herself. Zhou Shu also has the meaning of pressing on her to vent. Now that the soup is in the soup, Zhou Shu, who returned to the castle, naturally ran to find the snake bird.
The snake bird is as docile as a rabbit, and always likes to shrink up in bed and expose its back to Zhou Shu, which is the same posture as a rabbit being locked in a cage, and seems to be very insecure.
Zhou Shu has always been very gentle and gentle with her, after all, she is just an ordinary person, and Zhou Shu, who is used to attacking guys like Nati, is worried that he will hurt others. And her soft and weak seductive appearance really makes people want to slowly enter her.
During the intermission, the two lay together and chatted for a while, and after Zhou Shu finished talking about the situation of the prisoner just interrogated, Snake Bird raised a topic that made both of them a little embarrassed.
"Can you ...... Give me an identity ......."
Zhou Shu was covered with black lines by this topic, and the reason why he was interested in 'buying' the snake bird in the first place was to save convenience and trouble. Who knows that the snake bird is not professional at all, which makes the buyer particularly passive.
"You...... What identity do you want, I'll think about it when you put it forward......" Zhou Shu squeezed this sentence out of his teeth with difficulty, this was his unnecessary sense of responsibility at work.
The snake bird seemed to see the embarrassment of the man next to him, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'm sorry, I was hot-headed and said something I shouldn't have said."
This matter is quite unpleasant for what the two are doing, in order to regain the previous atmosphere, in order to comfort the depressed snake bird, Zhou Shu hugged her and said a bunch of good things. It wasn't until the weak girl was finished with tears that the snake bird fell into Zhou Shu's arms with a happy face, and couldn't help but think of the heroines in the TV series who had leukemia and were dying-
The next morning, Zhou Shu searched in the castle for a long time before finding the snake bird. The two made an appointment to go out for a walk, but she forgot about it. This is quite rare.
The custom of weddings in the country of the east is very strange, at least in the eyes of Zhou Shu, which is somewhat unacceptable. The wedding was held in the square, but there was no half-stuttering, and the host's family did not even entertain saliva. The whole wedding looked like a small concert, and all kinds of strange national instruments were played all morning, and then the couple appeared and got together. Swear to the dead god of marriage, and the whole concert is over.
Zhou Shu was very fortunate that the wedding on Bai Yueguo's side was similar to the wedding situation he knew. He is only going to hold a wedding once in his life, and the object is naturally her eldest lady. He wouldn't mind secretly holding a second time, at most twice, if Ula Mi wanted to.
The snake bird put on a look of envy in the process of watching the newlyweds take the oath, muttering about the beauty of marriage, and I don't know whether it was talking to myself or to Zhou Shu. Anyway, Zhou Shu is starting to break out in a cold sweat.
In this country, marriage has not yet been demonized into something like a 'grave of love' or a 'crematorium of love'. Marriage is still quite beautiful and sacred, although the god of marriage has been hung up by Zhou Shu himself.
Just after Zhou Shu thought that the family's wedding was over, something strange happened. A large group of playing, playing and singing guys dropped their musical instruments and brought a large number of tables and chairs from somewhere. The guests who were invited to the wedding took out food and drink from their baskets and cloth bags, spontaneously filled the table, and then sat down to eat.
Zhou Shu knew that it was still necessary to eat or be talented, how could there be a civilization without a wedding banquet when getting married. It's not scientific.
The snake bird looked at the couple in the square and the wedding that had turned into a banquet with a smile, grabbed one of Zhou Shu's arms and pulled it hard. "The city has been restored to this state thanks to you. ”
Zhou Shu touched his nose embarrassedly, "After all, it's my territory, it should be." ”
"What are you going to do next?" Snake Bird asked, "I've heard that the Plains of the Sword Blade can now accept the people of the East Country, and also allow the people of the West Country to trade abroad. What would you do?"
On this issue, Zhou Shu wanted to be able to organize merchants to start trade between the two countries as much as possible, which had never happened before. The concept of 'imports and exports' and 'tariffs' has never existed on this continent. If there is a large-scale interoperability, and in the absence of tariffs, there are many interesting situations that can occur. The side of the industrial added value of export goods. There will be a lot of profits, and over time it will hollow out the country of the east.
However, Zhou Shu was not in the mood to wait that long, he only needed to let the area connected to the East Country and the Sword Blade Plain feel the goodness of the West Country, he wanted to absorb the population of the enemy country, and it was not difficult to do so with the potential of the Sword Blade Plain.
After saying what he thought, the snake bird said he didn't understand.
"Why are you letting people in the East Country?"
"It's nothing, I just want more exchanges between the two countries. If you communicate more, you may not be hostile to each other. Don't you think it's boring for two countries to fight back and forth? ”
Magicians need a thriving world with a relatively stable population, but they don't want to fight in mourning, with a terrible male-to-female ratio and a newborn birth rate. War is always the quickest way to deal with hatred, but it is not necessarily the best way. Although Zhou Shu is anxious, he still has a lot of time, and the first year of fifty years is not over.
When the snake bird heard Zhou Shu's words, his eyes lit up, "Have you always thought about it like this, why didn't you tell me!?"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Shu was a little uncomfortable by the suddenly excited snake bird, "Is there anything wrong?"
The snake bird shook his head violently, drilled into Zhou Shu's arms in broad daylight, and said something that was difficult to appear in this atmosphere, "I like peace." "It's not supposed to be the content of a conversation when a couple hugs.
Nati's clean-up operation today was not very smooth, and the Justice Society had obviously considered the possibility of exposing the location of the stronghold, and evacuated early in the morning, but the withdrawal was not complete, and dozens of people were still caught, and some fish slipped through the net.
Nati was sent to prison with her own harvest, ready to follow their confession and continue to find someone. A few more times, it is estimated that the resistance will collapse.
It is almost impossible for normal people to resist corporal torture, and it is precisely because there are few such examples that those who can do it are hailed as heroes. It's good that the hero thing appears once in a while, and the military department has also got a new address and clues.
"Why do the people of Nishinokuni always conduct raids during the day!!"
The upper echelons of the Righteous Society, which had moved again, held a meeting in a large wooden room with a somewhat tattered table, and there were only eight of the ten old people left, and there were still a lot of supplies that had not had time to be moved. All fell into the hands of the enemy.
The snail kites and waterfowl followed the large group to the new residence, which was also a garden mansion, but it seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. It's past dinner time, and they haven't eaten yet, so it's impossible to say if they have anything to eat tonight.
"I was very lucky to be able to escape. At the meeting, most of the old men were full of joy. There was only one voice of indignation.
The Justice Society had decided to move all the personnel and supplies to a safer place in the middle of the day, hoping to complete it before nightfall. People have two legs, and they can just walk directly, but things are lost.
The waterfowl were cleaning the wounds of the two young men who had escaped, who were in charge of carrying supplies, and they were lucky enough to escape, but they were still hit in the back by an arrow.
"We don't have any medicine anymore. The doctor sighed and looked at the young man's wounds, and the situation was not optimistic. The arrows used by the West ** team are difficult to pull out intact, and the arrows that bite into the meat will tear off a large piece of meat. Let the wound bleed.
The internal organs of the two young men were already bleeding, and with the country's medical skills, they could not have been treated, and now there is no medicine to stop the bleeding, and their lives will soon be gone.
When the waterfowl listened to the doctor's words, his eyes were red, and tears fell down his sockets. She didn't know the two of them well, she just didn't like life to disappear in front of her. The snail kite stood aside and pulled it out of her pocket. Grab two objects and stuff them into the palms of the waterfowl.
"Feed them and give it a try. Maybe it works. ”
The doctor who had just predicted the death of the two of them glanced at him with contempt.
Compared to ordinary doctors, Mizufowl or older brothers are willing to believe in snail kites. However, Snail Kite didn't believe that Zhou Shu's sugar could treat such a level of injury.
The last time I saw Zhou Shu, I asked him for some candy to eat. At that time, the snail kite only regarded these as ordinary snacks and candies, and only heard about the effect after getting their hands on them.
Originally, she didn't think anything, she didn't take it too seriously. Take one when you're fine. There was a human life in front of her, and she took it out with the attitude of trying it out.
The two young men with back injuries had a hard time taking the medicine. The second the jelly bean entered their mouths, the two of them were directly desperate.
They also thought that what they were eating was medicated, and it was not until the sweet taste of the honeydew melon reached the tip of their tongue that they were sure that it was nothing more than ordinary sugar. The Savior is comforting himself.
It turns out that Zhoushu's sugar is still quite effective and tastes good enough. A few minutes after the two young men chewed the jelly beans, the wound disappeared completely, and the person recovered from the somewhat feverish state just now.
When the waterfowl saw this, they hugged the snail kite with joy and leaned on her shoulder and cried, and the two young men and the doctor had the same expression, unable to believe what was happening.
Snail Kite's mood is very complicated, Zhou Shu asked her to stay away from the Justice Society before, but now not only did she not do it, but also used Zhou Shu's things to save the life of his enemy, which is very unkind.
The news of the two seriously ill young men being rejuvenated by the pills of the savior Snail Kite soon reached the ears of the leadership, and several old people gathered together and groaned, "We should use Miss Snail Kite to do something, she is really a very amazing person......"
But she wouldn't help us. ”
"But it's not hard to get her involved. Isn't it?"
"Of course, but we don't seem to be at the end of the rope yet. ”
"Oh, do we have any other way?"
An old man at the head gritted his teeth and seemed to be very reluctant to tell a piece of information.
"Among the supplies that came in from the country before, there was one thing that was enough to help us turn over the battle. That thing was preserved......"
As soon as these words came out, the others immediately shook their heads at the same time, "That thing is too sacrificial, and it must not be taken out and used." ”
"I didn't say I wanted to use it, I just said that we weren't exhausted. But you're right, maybe we should ask Miss Snail Kite to do you a little favor. (To be continued......)
