The sun shone on the bedside, and Caroline woke up from her sleep.

Familiar quilts, familiar ceilings, and empty rooms that couldn't be more familiar.

She returned to her house, and her former acquaintances did not embarrass her, as if nothing had changed, as if nothing had changed.

Get up and make up in front of the mirror alone, the same lonely self-appreciation.

Go to the kitchen to make breakfast for one person, and she is still the only one on either side of the long table.

Because she didn't know what to do, even if she felt rejected by the outside world, she still didn't want to stay in this space, so she tried to dress herself up and went out in fear.

The streets of the city have not changed much.

Craftsman is a profession that needs to accumulate fame to reflect its value, in addition to being helpless, it is nothing more than the decoration of the store, and the layout of the store has changed.

It's still there.

"Caroline? Oh, my God! I always thought you were dead in the machinations of the Craftsmen's Guild! ”

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

She didn't know exactly what the artisans were doing, and in fact she didn't care, but she was a little uncomfortable with the excess enthusiasm of the people.

The North Street of Wuguancheng, which was once regarded as the glory of orthodox craftsmen, does not seem to have changed substantially even when it hears the news that the artisan association has disappeared.

Or the streets she was familiar with.

This made Caroline disgusted and terrified by all this.

"That's nice...... ACB48 can perform with us, and I'll be a fan of them from now on! ”

"Especially after such a difficult period, I used to think I was just bragging, but now I find out...... Life is incomplete without seeing their performances! ”

"Haha...... It's too much, but I always think it's ...... It's a shame that we were able to make it through, and we have to thank 'that person'. ”

"Ah, even if 'that person' is reluctant, it's always okay for us to thank you in private, haha!"

Similar conversations appear all over the street.

Even if Caroline didn't pay attention, the topic of "that person" unconsciously caught her attention.

From the mouths of the craftsmen, it was a heroic figure who saved the city and saved the city from the catastrophe of destroying the city several times. But since he is a hero, why don't you say his name, why don't you let him accept the praise openly, but don't even talk about his name in private?

It was almost the only thing that made her feel the change, apart from the excitement of the people.

In other words, both are also entirely due to the latter.

"I heard that Ryan of the Legion is leaving the Crownless City as well? Ay...... I really don't want him to go. ”

"Haha, after all, having him is really reassuring, there are really not many guys like him who are willing to stand up for us. If it weren't for him, how could the surrounding forces be so united and united to help us fight this disaster! ”

"That's not it, but it's a pity that he is an adventurer after all, and his goal is to walk through the sea of stars."

"That's nice...... Today's young people are so good, it's really not a way to live. ”

From the discussion of the residents, it can also be seen that the city is not without heroes to sing about, and it is said that both the elves and demons in the surrounding area have formed a friendship contract with the adventurer named Ryan, and they are willing to help no matter how far in the future.

This makes the previous events even more bizarre.

Why is it that when it sounds like two people have similar merits, one can talk about it in the open, but the other can only talk about it in secret?

Of course, there are many people who can be honored and called heroes, including many knights and persevering craftsmen in the city. But the more people discussed, the more Caroline felt that nothing had changed now, because she had survived a catastrophe.

It made her a little concerned.

If you can figure out what has actually changed, you may be able to find out what you need to do in the future.

She walked all the way to the end of North Street, and saw an old craftsman who used to be highly respected sitting on a bench, and after thinking about it, she was going to go up and say hello.

"Master William, you ......"

Before she could finish her sentence, however, the craftsman known as Old William stood up and made a silent gesture with his index finger.

Caroline:?

She looked left and right, there was no one around, and she didn't understand why she was quiet.

But she noticed that the other people in the central plaza also remained silent, and the atmosphere in the neighborhood seemed a little unfamiliar.

William Sr. didn't stop until he took Caroline out of the confines of the central square.

Caroline...... I didn't expect you to come back. ”

"Master William, what was that just now?"

Caroline was still thinking about the difference she had just seen.

Old William, whose eyebrows pressed and his eyes were a little open, smiled.

"Huh...... It's a rule that is now conventional, and I, an old craftsman who can't hold a hammer, have been stained with light, and it's rare to have a quiet and undisturbed resting place. ”

"That's the central square......" Caroline hesitated.

"Of course we know, I'm not that old!" William said as he looked back in the direction of the center of the square, "Because there is a guy who didn't want to be expected and saved the city and rested there, so everyone recognizes him in this way...... Or rather, revenge on him. ”

"Retaliation ......"

Caroline was so confused by this description that she almost thought that she hadn't woken up from her dream and that what she had seen today was just an illusion.

Since the city was saved, why should the people take revenge on him?

"Hehehe, is it hard to understand?" Old William smiled, "I also stood at the door with a cane and scolded him loudly, after all, I mistakenly thought he was very irresponsible at that time, but I didn't expect that after doing such a heroic deed, I finally stood up for us between the two big countries of Hooffire and Lion Garden......"

"And such a thing."

Caroline thought thoughtfully, so it seems that the city without a crown has not only suffered its own disaster, but also sandwiched between the two great powers without respite, in this case, a lot has happened in the meantime, after such a serious crisis, now nothing has changed but it seems a little strange.

Wait, that said......

The person referred to in the central square should be the same as what people are secretly discussing?

"Master William, who the hell is this person?" Carolyn asked.

What she needs most now is change, and if she can know more about this person, maybe something will happen, and it would be better if she had the opportunity to meet him.

Old William pretended to smile deeply.

"You keep quiet, go back to the central square, and you can see the image that people have erected for him."

"Really?" Caroline was ready to go over immediately.

However, when she just turned around, she heard Master William sigh behind her: "That's the king of the uncrowned city......

The ...... of the Crownless City King?

The contradiction between not being praised as a hero for revenge, and not being supported by the city of kings, made Caroline speed up her pace, thinking that this might help her situation, and if what Master William said was true, then the change in the city may not be as simple as it seems on the surface.

Come to the statue in the central square.

Because it is located in the middle, it can be seen almost without guidance, and now, when the war seems to have just passed, there is no atmosphere of a crowded city, but rather a relatively deserted place, with only a few craftsmen coming and going.

Caroline took a breath and looked up at the ready-

The statue had no carved face.

“……？”

She felt a kind of loneliness that brushed shoulders with the truth, as if she was blocked in front of a door.

At this time, someone patted her from behind.

Seeing that she was a craftsman she knew, and seeing that she didn't know the new sign language in the city, the other party once again took her out of the confines of the central square, going back and forth like this, Caroline somehow had a feeling of being played by "that person".

"Why doesn't that statue have a face?" Caroline was the first to ask.

"Because that's what he asked." The craftsman was also a little helpless, "I wouldn't have asked him if I knew it......"

"You know him?" Caroline gets to the point.

The craftsman smiled helplessly and took out an order paper from his arms, on which were written words asking the other party what requirements he had for this statue, and there were only three words below it that were simple and clear-

"Don't carve your face."

Caroline: "......"

"So who is this person, can't you say?" She asked.

"It's not that you can't say it......," the craftsman was puzzled, "It's just that mentioning this guy's name, I don't know why people mind inexplicably!" As soon as he mentions him, and the immoral things he has done, it makes him feel like we are some kind of adolescent girl, and the few times he played it is really complicated! ”

You're already squirming.

Caroline didn't say it explicitly, but the more she knew, the more she felt that what this person had done was like leaving a puzzle for outsiders, and the answer needed to be revealed step by step before it was meaningful.

"Is that so? What kind of person is this? ”

"How so...... Idle, not doing business? Alone, insidious and despicable? Acting on the spot, full of wind and rain in the city? ”

How it's all derogatory.

Caroline frowned: "Didn't you still make a statue of him?" ”

"Yes...... "He's a guy who plays people around, but no one can deny that he can turn things around and do miracles." My life, my mother's and my daughter's, is guarded by that guy. ”

When the craftsman said this, his eyes were serious and serious.

But Caroline hadn't experienced any of these things, and she didn't realize how complicated their feelings were.

"We didn't understand what that guy was thinking in the end, so let's admit that he was our king, and no one would necessarily appreciate it, how could he be so sentimental. But if we don't do something, it seems that we have no conscience...... Can you understand that feeling? ”

"No, I don't understand..."

Caroline said truthfully.

It's hard to imagine why the people of the Crownless City have such conflicting feelings.

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, after all, there are still many people who say that he is a spy sent by the Lion Garden," the craftsman was not surprised by her reaction, "I said Caroline, since you are back, do you want to join the popular organization of the current Crown City?" ”

"...... popular organizations?"

"Right...... Nowadays, the craftsmen mainly rely on the "voice of the people" to discuss policies, and although the person in charge of supervising it is a general of the Hoof Fire Empire who makes people take a detour, how to manage the city is completely up to us, and it may be possible to meet the uncrowned king by chance. ”

"I ...... This matter made me think about it. ”

Caroline wasn't ready to take the leap right away.

"Haha...... Don't mind.,After a certain basic exam, you can take on some civilian jobs to collect opinions.,It's definitely no problem with Ling's level.,You can join whenever you want.。 ”

"Good...... I know. ”

Caroline turned around and sighed at what she had seen today.

The city seemed to be moving in a direction she never thought it would be, but after a walk like this, there was one thing she was really curious about.

As the king of 200,000 people, this king of the crownless city who is loved and hated by people.

At this moment—

What is being done?

……

……

Sun, sand, sea.

The endless clear sky, the midsummer atmosphere of the waves crashing on the shore, and the vast field of vision seem to melt the mood.

"Ahem......"

Stepping in early, Rowe set up his parasols and recliners topless, ready in place.

The teleportation circle on the ground lit up, and the soft halo of lake blue moved with it, and one after another outlines gradually outlined the shape in the teleportation array.

Until the light and shadow were finalized, the one that emerged from the teleportation circle-

It is twelve beautiful swimsuit beauties.

“……”

Rowe's face sank.

Vimere was the first to blush, not knowing whether to cover it or not, and her little hands were tightly clasped at her sides.

Whining...... So shy......

"Hoohoo! Uncle Lowe, here we are! ”

"The sea, here we come!!"

Lu Yi and Anening raised their hands and jumped up one after another, dancing excitedly in the sea breeze, and behind them, there were also two who hid and hidden, not daring to show their heads.

Ayining: "......"

Shayer: "......"

Bastard...... I'm wearing this kind of clothes!?

Standing in front of the two of them, Eloth smiled faintly, then pulled Arttana to the side, where their swimsuit postures were immediately visible.

"What!"

"Ah——!h

Sha Ye blushed and covered her in front of her, while Ayining was completely unprepared, and sat on the sand with her hands.

"Please don't make the atmosphere so weird," Belle grumbled, her black tail dangling behind her, "said the rare one on vacation." ”

"Ahaha...... "Ke Qian scratched her head a little embarrassed, "I didn't expect to actually wear it, it's really shy." ”

Lily Hu: "......"

Seeing Lowe standing there, Loveley immediately cast a contemptuous and disdainful look.

"Don't be stupid like him, how about standing here?" She lifted the wide sun hat on her head, and wore a light and fluttering long skirt as if she was on vacation, "My eyes are straight, some people are really unconscious of being men, or go back by yourself if you don't finish your physical work." ”

"Huh? Lu Yi thinks Uncle Rowe isn't looking at you, huh? Lu Yi said innocently, "After all, Sister Wang doesn't have it at all." ”

"W-What!? Who said I didn't have any more! ”

"Hee-hee...... Suspicious, huh? Otherwise, why wear such a figure outfit. ”

"That's when I wasn't ready to go into the water!!" Lovellie sternly resisted.

And Lu Yi had already come behind her with a spatial trick, grinning and grabbing forward.

“？？？！！！”

"Look, sure enough, what's it, it's nothing, there's it~"

"Wheh, shhh......h You......! ”

Loveley's mentality collapsed.

Before it could make a big fuss, Artetana sighed and rescued her, but the eyes of the others looked at her in unison.

Speaking of big ......

It seems that there is no controversy.

Artetana: "......"

"Please ...... Don't care about me......" The Mother Goddess looked embarrassed and covered the white veil that had been specially added in front of her, "I'll just watch you play." ”

“……”

The crowd was silent.

That's really ...... It was by no means huge in the usual sense, and several people turned their eyes back, looking at Luo Wei, who had been there silently, his eyes were a little subtle.

Vimil poked her finger, hmm...... What does he think?

And it's been ...... since just now

"W-that......" she said hesitantly, "don't you say something......

"What do you want me to say," Rowe replied calmly, smiling quietly, "Comment, do you want to rate your swimsuit looks?" ”

"What!"

Saya crossed her hands over her face, her face flushed redder than a boiled crab, and she looked at him with shame and anger.

You still want to rate us!! With such an invisible?!

Luo Wei waved his hand and smiled.

Then he turned his back and wiped his nose.

Underestimate their lethality.

All the swimsuits, all of them are incomparable beauties, and they appear together like fouls, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they can send people's consciousness directly to another world, and they almost didn't send him away just now.

But how could he let this group of little girls succeed, seeing that he didn't exist.

And......

Luo Wei turned around, and looked strangely at the last person he had completely ignored-

"Why are you here?" He said wistfully.

Hearing that she seemed to be talking about herself, the beautiful woman with long fiery red hair turned around and crossed her waist with one hand on her face with a smile on her face.

"What a faux pas, you guy—" she said, looking at Rowe, "Am I not feminine?" ”

"You seem to have said something that has nothing to do with you?"

"Huh?" Cylise looked at him with a smile, "What did you just say?" ”

“…… I say that your beauty makes me grovel. ”

A fiery red light swimsuit completely shows the fiery figure that is invisible on weekdays.

However, there was no fluctuation in Luo Wei's heart.

Don't dare to look.

Don't dare to look at it at all.

obviously didn't invite her, who let her in?

Vimeer felt a chill inexplicably.

However, Lu Yi over there couldn't hold it anymore, and hurriedly stomped his feet: "No matter how much, let's start playing quickly!" ”

"Ahaha, you guys go first," she said embarrassedly, "anyway, I still want to put on sunscreen cream." ”

"Huh? And this kind of thing, that dew also has to be painted! ”

"Good! I've prepared everyone's amount too! ”

“……”

Listening to the conversation over there, Cylise looked at Rowe with a big grin.

"How about giving you a chance to make amends, to put this sunscreen on me?"

“……”

Luo Wei fell into an ice cave.

In this Shura field, someone wants to harm him!
