Carters said with difficulty: "Why?"
Except for the fact that she did not receive the knighthood due to the arrival of the invader ship, she has completed all the leader's mission requirements.
"You've done a great job, and I'm not dissatisfied at all, but Yelena, there are more important things to do next. If necessary, I will ask the Yeti team to come to you to strengthen the power in your hands."
The dragon girl's words shocked Yelena, and it sounded like she was being asked to use armed force.
"Remember everything I said. Your role is a safety lock. I want to ensure your safety and that you can complete the task. As for what the task is, wait for my news."
There was no confusion or haze in Dragon Girl's eyes, and she even had strong confidence. She knew what she was doing and the meaning of doing so.
Yelena couldn't help but ask: "Are you...really Tallulah?"
"Of course I am, and always have been, the Dragon Lady Tallulah you call, and also the Tyrant Tallulah."
The dragon girl lowered her hat, turned and left without stopping.
Her back was like a blazing fire, emitting the most brilliant light, and Yelena thought of the fireworks she saw in the Grand Knights' Territory that night.
Beautiful, gorgeous, dazzling... short-lived, passing like a shooting star.
…
That evening, Zhou Jinru met with Markowitz, who had been staying at the temporary residence in Rhode Island and had not left. The former spokesman did not care about his situation at all.
"Mr. Four, I'm glad to meet you. Thank you for your help. I think I can survive until now. Thanks to your help, you can harvest my friendship, although I don't know how much value it still has now."
Zhou Jinru smiled: "Friendship is priceless. I can't measure it with money or anything else. This is an insult to us."
Markowitz smiled bitterly. It would be who knows how long it would take before the war ended and the Great Knights Kingdom returned to its original prosperity.
"Don't be so pessimistic. Judging from the current situation, the overall situation is favorable to us."
Zhou Jinru picked up the hot water bottle on the table, poured a cup of hot water for the former spokesman, and continued: "I don't like drinking very much. Sorry, that's all."
"It's very good, Mr. Fourth. I have lived in a very harsh environment since I was a child. I know how precious water resources are."
Markowitz held the water glass with both hands and looked at the rippling water surface with emotion.
His status and wealth were nothing but the moon in the mirror. He went from being a spokesperson beneath one person to being above ten thousand people to an unknown passer-by, but it only took one night.
Zhou Jinru sat opposite him, took a sip of hot water, and said softly: "Mr. Markowitz, I want to tell a story. Are you in the mood to listen?"
"I have a lot of time now, and Mr. Fourth's story must be very exciting. I am willing to hear the details."
Zhou Jinru shook his head with a smile, sighed, and said: "A long time ago, almost twenty years ago, I had a friend whom I had known for a few days..."
Markowitz listened carefully. Gradually, he discovered that based on the knowledge he had learned, he could not find any names that could match the characters in the story. Especially the name of Ken William, who seemed to be made up out of thin air. of.
"Stories are just stories and should not be taken seriously. I just want to tell you that the road is made by people. No matter whether you succeed in the end or not, the most important thing is the first step you take."
"Mr. Fourth, I think that William was prepared to shed blood and make sacrifices from the beginning. With one person's death, he paved the way for those who came after him."
Zhou Jinru chuckled and said: "Yes, he is my friend. We have only known each other for a few days, but he seems to have been an old friend for many years. Well, Mr. Markowitz, thank you for listening to this story. Please tell me, I will send someone to take you wherever you want to go, and no one will hurt you anywhere, I promise.”
Having said this, Markowitz stood up to say goodbye. He wanted to think carefully about where to go next.
After seeing off the former spokesman, Zhou Jinru picked up the water glass and drank it all in one gulp. He had a second guest tonight.
I haven't seen the little fox Susan for more than a month and has become haggard. She can barely maintain her youthful and beautiful appearance. She dresses very simply and returns to being an ordinary person again.
"Mr. Four."
"I'm here."
Zhou Jinru raised his head and met Susan's eyes. The latter lowered his head slightly.
"Then, tell me where you want to go, and I will send you there. You have no worries. No matter how much trouble you have, I will take care of it."
"I have no idea."
The man raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want to go home?"
Susan was silent.
She comes from a poor mainland town. The highest school in the town is an ordinary high school, but most of the children go out to work before finishing junior high school. Therefore, the students in the high school are all children from relatively wealthy families.
But there are exceptions, like Susan.
Before the age of twelve, she was no different from those children who dreamed of working in big cities or factories. As long as she could make money, she could live a good life.
When I was twelve years old, some strange messengers came to the town and left several magazines published by the Grand Knight in the best hotel in the town. By chance, Susan discovered them.
It turns out that the arrogant neighbor's son is just a wage earner. It turns out that his junior high school education is not enough to find a job in a big city. It turns out that their food, clothing and supplies are different from those in mainland cities.
It was the first time she knew what a mobile city was like, and it was also the first time she knew that the outside world was different from what she imagined. A thought she had never had before quietly grew in her heart.
She wanted to go to the Grand Knight Territory, she wanted to go further, she wanted... to leave her hometown, which was as lifeless as a cemetery.
She cut off contact with her former friends, studied hard, and passed into high school with dangerously high scores.
Susan thought that in this way she could enter the mobile city and take the path she wanted to take. Unfortunately, she paid the price for her naivety.
Absorbed by the rapidly expanding Wuzhou Alliance, there is no way to escape.
However, she was very lucky. The little fox from a small town met the person who changed her life.
The man was sitting in front of her, asking where she was going.
She didn't want to go anywhere.
Susan said calmly: "Mr. Fourth, I want to stay here."
"Don't you want to go home? It's safe now. No one will trouble you again. Your family should be waiting for news about you."
Susan looked at the man, and after a long while, he hesitated and said, "I want to go back to my hometown first and take a look."
“And then come back”
Facing the man's gaze, Wolper felt like he was being seen through.
She nodded: "I want to find my own value."
Zhou Jinru crossed his hands in front of him: "Well, if you want to come back, maybe I can be useful to you."
