Chapter Twenty-Four: The Watchman's Words
"Where are we going......"
Erica watched as Chang Yu Feng put a suit of clothes into the small box.
"I don't know, should I go, take refuge?"
Chang Yufeng stood up the small box, weighed it, and felt that it was very unsuitable, squatted down to open the small box, and took out the clothes inside one by one.
"Evacuation ...... Where to take refuge ......"
"Where to go safely, where to ......"
Chang Yu Feng himself frowned. Erica stood behind him, his eyes catching something not so good, the room, in a sparse place, with blood in its spooks.
"To save the princess?"
Erica asked, looking at the bloodstains next to her.
"Where to help?"
"Prison."
"How can I save it?"
"Sneak in!"
"Good idea. How? You're going to take me, a no-magic no-maji, to a prison where all magicians and swordsmen are in prison, not to mention whether I can get in or not, I definitely know that I can't get out. β
"I think ...... too," Erica dismissed her offer, tilting her head and weighing her wand in her hand, "So, you want to go to the Duchess of Victoria?"
"Have you thought of all this?" Chang Yu Feng pouted, filled the small box with clothes again, and a few heavier clothes were left behind.
"And where else can you go...... What can I think of? β
"There may be many ways to think of it, but there should be few ...... that can be implemented."
"Now there's such a severe storm in the city...... I'm sure the Flying Eagles in the city won't be able to stop us at all...... The two brothers, Lionheart and Final Tiger, went with their elite troops...... Aside from dealing with some prison wardens, I don't think there are any great people who can catch us, and we can get Uncle Kraft out of prison, and it will be as easy as walking through the gates to get out of prison. β
Erica spread her hands indifferently and said: "The premise is, we have no other way, but obviously this is impossible, saving people openly and secretly are completely different things, if the dragon faction can come to meet us, it would be good."
"But we're not dragons. It's not a tiger chase, believe me, neither of these factions, we can't participate. We are Kaft's nephews, not factionalists. β
The wind was raging outside, but the people inside were calm and terrible.
The lights were bright, and even if there was blood left on the side, it wasn't necessarily scary, and to be honest, they didn't have much time to care about the blood in the room.
No matter how terrible other people's things are, they can't be terrifying with the knife on their heads.
They won't let us get involved in this situation, and seriously, we should keep the attitude of "towards our family and friends...... That is, our uncles, we go to save them, but do not participate in the war of factions. β
"You mean neutral?"
"No, not neutrality."
After Chang Yufeng finished speaking, he looked at Erica, who was a little puzzled.
Silence, not speaking.
"It's not easy to be neutral and want to help Uncle Raft."
"No, you're wrong, it's actually quite simple. It's just that you can't think about it. β
When Erica saw that Chang Yu Feng had a clear idea, and she didn't know very well, she kept staring at Chang Yu Feng, and Chang Yu Feng looked confident, but she was so unsettling.
If you want to describe it, it is that he has been staring at the clothes in his hands, indifferent, and solemn, which is a very strange expression.
The brain is running like crazy, and I never think about this complex problem.
It's no fun to be neutral if you keep being neutral, but you're going to be oppressed by both sides.
To put it bluntly, this is a quagmire, and if you step into it with half a foot, you can't get out of it.
"What do you mean?"
"How did Duke Victoria do that?"
"What?"
"How did the Duchess of Victoria manage to juggle these two sides?"
"Hiss......" Erica held her waist as if she didn't understand, and stood a little casually, "Are you saying that we can't get around Lady Rose no matter what?"
"I can't get around it." Chang Yufeng tied the small box and sighed slowly: "Hey, but it doesn't matter, we try not to come forward to save people, and ask Mrs. Rose to save it, this is the wisest choice."
"Does that have anything to do with us?"
"It doesn't matter, you're not obligated to save anyone, it's only because our parents' relatives were killed, so we got involved, so it's understandable that we're going to save people?"
Chang Yu Feng also stood up and twisted his waist, like a little ghost who was already thinking about how to run, relaxed and funny.
Although the atmosphere is very wrong.
"I agree with this idea...... Erica also seemed to understand, breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up leisurely: "It's only because Uncle Kaft, who helped us, is in prison, and Elizabeth is also persecuted, that we go to save people." It's not that we go out of our way to save people. β
"What you said is important to us." Chang Yu Feng suddenly became serious and looked at Erica seriously, which made Erica a little at a loss, because she felt that she might have said something wrong, but she was not sure.
"Because it's not a naΓ―ve game for us, we can't make any mistakes, we have to maintain the neutrality of our identities and rescue both of them. And no one else. β
Chang Yu Feng said his words slowly and clearly, ensuring that every word could reach Erica's ears so that she could hear clearly: "So, speech skills are very important to us. We are not here to cling to the Dragons, for fame and profit, but for our elders and friends. β
Elder, Uncle Kraft.
Friend, Elizabeth pro.
This also means that when others ask, why do we do such a dangerous thing, our answer must not be changed, then we will lose our original intention of saving people, and we will definitely be used by others. Because the people we want to save have an absolute position, and if we save them, many people will pretend to classify us as dragon-seeking factions, which is very dangerous for us. We can't afford to step on this muddy water. Nor should you step in. β
"If so, what does it have to do with Madame Rose?"
"Have you ever heard of which side Madame Rose is on?"
"I've never heard of Madame Rose who seems to be always neutral, and seems to be swaying from side to side, and there is no way to take him on either side, so that her strength has made everyone daunting."
"Do you want to know why?"
"Why?"
"Because she's ......"
Changyu Feng looked at Erica as if she were a child, and Erica was also a little surprised.
"Because...... She's ......"
"God?"
"How do you know?"
Now it was Changyu Kaede's turn to be surprised, and he scratched his head, puzzled why Erica knew that Victoria was a god.
"I thought, brother, what earth-shattering event are you going to say...... I don't want to spread this in the girls' gossip network for a long time......"
Erica laughed like a long feather maple: "Hahaha, what's here, isn't this normal?" I also heard that she was not only a god, but also the initiator of the Blood War a thousand years ago, and at that time, her dukedom status lasted for thousands of years, standing and not moving. β
"Ah...... I also thought it was some kind of shocking secret, which made me mysterious for so long......" Chang Yu Feng put the small box into a small ring.
"Alice is the daughter of God, and she lives in our dormitory...... Can I not know? Erica spread her hands and smiled even more.
"Erica, one wrong step, one wrong step."
Changyu Kaede no longer pretended to be deep, but relaxed a little and began to walk towards the door.
In this empty room, only these two siblings have always lived, and the atmosphere of their down-to-earth life seems to have been destroyed overnight, the towels they used fell on the floor tiles stained with blood, the sofa they sat on was broken and still lying downstairs, and the used dishes and chopsticks were also in tatters in the kitchen.
But that's good......
Because here it is......
Pelos's home.
Uncle Pyros was sneezing non-stop somewhere in the distance, and that was probably the reason.
"You should understand what I said by connecting what I just said with what I am saying now."
Chang Yu Feng looked at them, came to his room, and gently closed the door.
They had been in room after room, and they couldn't stop glancing inside, and then gently shut.
"Are you afraid of us being arrested?"
"No, we're not going to be arrested."
"What does that mean......"
"I'm scared that we're not behaving properly. Lost the original intention. Because if we save people, not to mention that we are thanked by the Dragons, it is the stigma or honor that we will receive in the future, which will definitely haunt us. β
Chang Yu Feng went down the stairs and quietly looked at everything below, everything that was in tatters...... It's so worrying...... After all, it's a place where I've lived for so long......
For the adrift...... Even if it's a home anywhere, it's not a home anywhere.
Again, this house is Pelos's.
The two siblings simply didn't have any assets to get their hands on.
The gold coins given by their parents have been almost spent, and the jewelry of her mother Ellea is also something that cannot be sold, and one day, they will be troubled by money......
Or will the trouble come quickly......
Then, at that time, temptation does not come out of nowhere, and it is definitely not so easy to eliminate and reject.
"If we rescue Kaft and Elizabeth, and the Dragons come to thank us, we must refuse unconditionally, and draw a line with them, just like Uncle Pelos, always keep our neutrality as a pacifist faction, and oppose whichever side is too arrogant, which side is too ruthless, and kills innocents indiscriminately."
Chang Yu Feng turned to look at Erica, who stood quietly behind him and followed him downstairs.
"We're the same philosophy, but it's different."
"What's the difference?"
"We are not peaceful neutrals, we are not intermediaries, we are bystanders. If you really want to call us a name, we are simple, like a scarecrow watching over the field, all we do is just watch the crops grow, if the birds want to eat the crops, we will drive them away, we will not fly up to fight those birds, sometimes we can't kill those bad birds, we can only stare at the ......"
"What is the meaning of the existence of the scarecrow......
"Don't think about it, there's such a thing as meaning."
"Why?"
"Because meaning doesn't make any sense."
"Your thoughts are a lot like...... Immortal seekers of the Empire...... They are like scarecrows, they don't care about the world, they have to cut off the dust, they only want to cultivate immortals and become gods, and they are free from the world...... It may be in line with this experience...... "Erica looked at Chang Yu Kaede's back and pointed out what Chang Yu Feng meant by what he said.
This difference in thinking, which is not concealed but is beginning to be exposed, is becoming more and more intense.
"I've read a lot of books about the empire, if it's an empire, instead of becoming a magician with the ability of blood, but refining and cultivating the physique with swords and spiritual power, maybe I won't be a helpless no-maji."
Chang Yu Feng looked at the footprints on the wall.
"I came from school to tell you something......" Erica shrugged her shoulders and flicked her wand out of a wand behind Kaede's back.
The wand with a white point of light spun around like a white circle of light.
"What's the matter?"
"Yesterday, the mentor told me that your research article on mechanics was favored by a tutor who specializes in Seiko jurisprudence, and that you have been accepted as an honorary magician by the Magicians Association, and you enjoy the treatment of a magician."
"I told the news too late......"
Chang Yu Feng turned around, but there was no joy. Looking at Erica's leisurely appearance, it was impossible to tell that it was fake, and the more serious Erica was, the more relaxed her expression became. She is not the kind of person who is very pretentious, but the more relaxed she feels, the more serious she becomes, which is the opposite of ordinary people.
"It's not too late, you've already been honored, so there's no way for the Flying Eagles to arrest you."
"What?"
"The Ministry of Magic and the Flying Eagles don't interfere with each other in the first place...... You know that, so when I heard that the Flying Eagles wanted us, it didn't seem likely. β
Erica took her wand, and tucked it into her sleeve.
"We? You've been honored too? β
"Well, I borrowed my father's superdemon who summoned the water dragon and completed my water magic research...... Only...... Awarded the ......"
"Wow......"
"Isn't it surprising? Now, we can say that the future is bright, do you still want to save people? β
Erica asked about Long Feather Kaede.
The award of a magician in the Ministry of Magic is not a small thing, it is a big event, ordinary people receive knighthoods, and magicians receive decorations from the Ministry of Magic.
A super jump that equates to identity.
This is no joke, Ministry of Magic.
There is a saying that the Ministry of Magic is a bunch of crazy people, and if you want to become a person in the Ministry of Magic, you have to be a madman.
Of course, there is another way of saying it, that is, the Ministry of Magic, that is, the Ministry of Calf Protection, as long as it is a person from the Ministry of Magic, there is no one who does not protect the calf.
