Chapter 47: Grandpa's Protection

André then turned around, raised his voice, and pointed to the many people around him who were still wailing and moaning:

"Normally I can open one eye and close one eye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But as soon as the battle horn sounds, don't mess around in front of me. If it weren't for you ignorant fools coming to the infirmary and robbing those infected with the zombie plague. When it's settled, I'll see how I clean you up. Don't think that when I'm old, there will be no one to take care of Menice, and you lawless can do whatever you want!"

With that, Andre turned to Veronica again, and then scolded, "Winnie!"

Veronica trembled in fright under the scolding of her grandfather Andre, and then lowered her head in fear: "Grandpa......"

"You are also responsible for today's affairs!" Andre glared at Veronica, gasping for anger and rebuking:

"How do I usually teach you? As a doctor, if a patient is in the clinic, then you must stay in the clinic 24 hours a day. Even if you want to leave, you have to find a substitute healer. You're good enough to go to the Coast Mountains without saying a word. As a result, they were ignorant people who hijacked quarantined patients. You are also responsible today. That is, you were lucky enough to get back the Naheni Magic Flower today. ”

After saying that, Andre glanced at Lance, and Lance hurriedly lowered his head. And Veronica was also aggrieved at this time and was about to cry: "Yes, grandpa, I was wrong." Sorry ......"

And when the others saw that Andre even scolded his granddaughter, whom he usually loved the most and regarded as a treasure, they immediately lowered their heads and looked at each other, not daring to speak. It seems that André is really angry about this incident.

At this moment, except for the crackling sound of the brazier burning, there was silence, and no one present dared to pant loudly.

"Ahem. ”

Lance cleared his throat suddenly. All of a sudden, everyone around looked at Lance and looked at him curiously. However, their eyes were full of ridicule and ignorance of the young man. To speak at a time like this?

Everyone knows in their hearts that Ménice is a military fiefdom, and two people have the final say. But these two people are not Mayor Colbert and Uncle Bagg, the current captain of the garrison. It's André the Healer and Ranger "Scar-Eye" Ronde. However, since "Scar-Eyed" Ronde was ambushed and killed by the demons last month, only André, the healer knight, remains.

And now in Menise, no one dares to offend Andrei, and what he says, even if it is wrong, everyone will only carry it out silently. At that time, one of the scoundrels of Menizhe Karpasia, because he did not listen to Andrei's persuasion. In the end, Andrei directly used the knightly privilege, and without saying a word, in front of everyone, he beheaded the scoundrel Karpas with a sword.

On the other hand, everyone is in awe of Andrei's selflessness. Once upon a time, Andre's son Brian was a well-known gentleman in town. took advantage of Andre's fame, did evil everywhere, and also molested women from good families. As a result, Andrei was ruthless, not only divorced his daughter-in-law from his son, but also deprived Brian of his inheritance, severed the relationship between father and son, and finally expelled Brian from Menische.

Since then, Andrei has been the god of Ménice. Suffice it to say, even if Andrei let them commit suicide, they would not dare not disobey.

And Andrei, the healer knight, is known for his strange temper, sometimes very kind, sometimes fierce to death. Especially when he was angry, even the Duke Aceh dared to scold. Talking directly to Andrei in anger is the behavior of a madman.

Sure enough, Andre glared at Lance on the side, and then said with a hint of disdain: "What?

But Lance didn't know that, but Lance decided to break the silence, after all, there was something that had to be said.

Lance smiled and said to Andre, "Grandpa Andre, you're right. Winnie did do something wrong in some respects. But isn't Winnie also here to save people, though it may be a bit reckless. But Winnie also took back three flowers of Nahny's Magic Grass, didn't she? Wouldn't the potion made from Naherny's Magic Flower produce permanent antibodies to the plague? I think Veronica is actually the biggest contributor to this crisis. ”

As soon as they heard this, the people around them suddenly seemed to have turned on the radio switch. Immediately the chatter began to discuss.

"Permanent antibodies?

"I don't know, if it's true, that's great!"

"That's right, if the zombies don't change, there won't be so many tragedies!"

"Well, Veronica isn't wrong. She is the lifesaver of our loved ones. ”

Seeing that everyone began to persuade Andre not to blame Veronica. So Lance on the side continued:

"So, Grandpa Andrei. Winnie was at fault, but in the long run, the merits outweighed the faults......"

Veronica grabbed Lance, who was about to continue, shook her head and said, "Lance, don't talk about it. This time it's my fault. If I had been there, this kind of impact on the quarantine zone would not have happened. This time it was really me who was wrong......"

"Alright!" Andre called out Veronica's apology, and then said with a serious but soothing tone, "Winnie, this young man has some point. You do have credit, but it doesn't make up for the mistakes you made. Not for example. ”

Veronica nodded, "Yes, grandpa." ”

Then Andrei said to the captain of the team, "Bag, come here with the soldiers of the garrison and report the situation outside!"

So the men of the garrison followed Andrei to the other side.

Seeing Andre walk away, the White Dragon Princess Loxani was also relieved, and then complained:

"Sister Veronica, are you sure this is your own grandfather? Why is he so fierce to you, criticizing you in front of so many people? We have recovered the Nachni Magic Flower this time, it is a great achievement, and a few people have died? We have exchanged the lives of hundreds of people!"

"I ...... This time it's mainly me who didn't do it right......" Veronica grabbed her left arm tightly with her right hand, biting her chapped pink lips, her face full of self-reproach.

"Ronnie, how do you speak?" Lance glared at Loxani and told her to stop. Then he cleared his throat and whispered, "Don't you see Grandpa Andrei's good intentions?"

Loxani's bright blue eyes widened, and she smiled bitterly and said, "Good intentions, forgive me for being clumsy, I didn't see it at all from such a fierce tone!"

"Say you're a dragon. In fact, the search just now is called retreat as advance. Lance touched his chin and shook his head with a smile:

"Actually, through what I just said, I have a little admiration for Veronica's grandfather, who is very capable of leadership. Not only did he reprimand Quincy and the other villagers who had robbed the patients, but he also calmed down the commotion that was about to erupt. The words just now seemed to be selfless, and everyone scolded them. But in fact, there is only the Grand Duke, and he is not selfless. And it's hiding a lot of private goods. It also shows Grandpa Andre's care and love for Vinnie. ”

"Hmm, what are you talking about?" Roxani sneered, "I don't see where this is care and love at all?"

Veronica on the side was also confused, completely unable to understand what Lance meant. Lance looked at the confused two people and smiled from ear to ear.

Loxani was also anxious, so she said angrily, "Don't giggle!

Lance collected his thoughts for a moment, then cleared his throat and said, "Didn't you notice that from beginning to end, Grandpa Andre added a swear to modify only Quincy and those villagers?"

"Swearing?" Loxani tilted her head, puzzled, "What do you mean." ”

"Grandpa Andre only established his prestige by reprimanding his granddaughter Winnie. Come to think of it, Grandpa Andrei said Quincy was a bastard and a coward. Said that the villagers were ignorant and lawless. But when he said Winnie, it seemed to reprimand Winnie, but a heavier word was useless. On the contrary, when criticizing Winnie, he relied on these swearful embellishments to strengthen the rebuke of the villagers' ignorance. This is a reference to Sang scolding Huai, but the implication is that without the ignorant villagers, Veronica would have been able to retrieve the Nachni Flower and save all the infected people. ”

Loxani thought about it and suddenly realized: "I see. But why don't you just say it? Who understands such an obscurity, wouldn't this make Sister Veronica suffer unnecessary grievances?"

"I'm fine, I understand grandpa's intentions. After all, he is not mine alone, but a pillar of the whole of Menice. Veronica squeezed out a smile and shook her head, saying, "And I'm also negligent and wrong." ”

"You know, as a leader. There are words that you have to say for the sake of the big picture, even at the expense of your loved ones. But there are some things that you say by yourself that are not as effective as those spoken by others. As a leader, you need to learn to distinguish between what to say and when. ”

Lance smiled at this time and said:

"Actually, Grandpa Andre has already thought about everything. First of all, judging from the situation just now, I can also guess that Grandpa Andrei is the actual person in charge of Ménice. As the person in charge, he certainly has to show impartiality. Therefore, in order to calm everyone's contradictions, let everyone's scattered hearts be restored under their own control. Therefore, I had to reprimand Winnie to explain the seriousness of this matter and establish my prestige. After all, no one expected that Grandpa Andre would reprimand his baby granddaughter. But Grandpa Andre also knows that in fact, this time he was able to save the infected patients, and Winnie, who found Naherny's magic flower, was still the first-class hero. Then I still have to praise Winnie. ”

"But he didn't praise Sister Veronica either, did he praise it afterwards?"

"Isn't there still me? I said, there are some things that others say best. Lance patted his chest proudly and said:

"Grandpa Andrea, out of great selflessness, can't praise Veronica himself. But he knew I was going to come out and set things right for Veronica. To talk about Veronica's exploits through my mouth, one is to give Grandpa Andrei a step down, and the other is to let the villagers know Veronica's exploits through my mouth. In this way, although Veronica seems to be reprimanded, in fact, she will be more respected by everyone at this time. ”

Lance looked at Veronica and said:

"So at that time, Grandpa Andre looked at me after reprimanding Veronica. I understood what Grandpa Andrei meant at that time. Grandpa Andre must have eaten my character thoroughly and knew that I would definitely stand up and complain. Since someone helped him praise his granddaughter, why did Grandpa Andre say it himself? If he said it, he would be considered to be protecting his shortcomings. So Winnie, Grandpa Andre only reprimanded you for the sake of the big picture. In fact, he still cares for you in his heart. He knows better than anyone else about your great credit this time. ”

However, Veronica's face didn't show much happiness, she just looked much more relaxed: "In this way, it is indeed no different from my grandfather in my heart." But this time I do have a responsibility that cannot be shirked. I shouldn't have gone out without telling my grandfather, I should have told him to come over and help guard the hospital. ”

Lance patted Veronica on the shoulder and smiled, "If you tell your grandfather, do you think your grandfather will let you go to the Coast Mountains to find the Nachni Magic Grass? Do you think you can save me and Loxani? And without the Naherni Magic Grass, these infected people are just the difference between early and late death, isn't it? So it's all a choice of fate." You don't have to take it too seriously, either. ”

Veronica sighed, and finally showed a faint smile, but this smile was full of exhaustion: "Thank you, Lance. ”

As he spoke, the hearty shout of Uncle Bag, the captain in the distance, rang out again: "Red-eyed boy, come here!"
