After seeing off the city's administrator, Helix returned to SHU Xi's office wearing work clothes.
Then she worriedly asked SHU Xi, who was still sitting on the sofa, "Are you serious about what you said?"
"What are you referring to?" SHU Xi shook off the ashes from the front of the cigarette in the ashtray, looking stunned.
"You don't care about the life and death of city residents..." The secretary was a little disappointed and lost for a moment. Unlike SHU Xi, she was a native of Lash and had a younger sister and an elderly mother in the city:" is that true?"
"No, I didn't say that." SHU Xian suddenly realized and replied with a smile: "If you agree from the beginning of the negotiation, the other party will have no reason to compromise."
"And while each city is preparing, it can also take some time to see clearly what is happening."
"I always feel something is wrong..."
"You said... a seventh-level Warcraft Lord who has been entrenched in his territory for decades would really suddenly cross 150 miles, and even attack human city-states to establish a new territory?"
...
The dawn light penetrates the hazy morning fog and shines on the undulating tile roofs in winter. Under the refraction of the snowflakes accumulated overnight, it shines in the eyes and makes people squint their eyes and look away.
Part of the white snow began to turn into snow water, flowing into drainage wells connected to groundwater along the relatively complete urban water canal system.
Ina followed Lake through a heavy iron door. The area they entered was surrounded by a stone wall that was not much shorter than the city wall, as if it were a special area independent of the city.
Part of the western part of the city, where the city's defenders were stationed.
Ina didn't understand why Lake brought her here.
The garrison area was relatively tidy. Just after eight o'clock, the soldiers had completed basic snow clearing.
Stepping on the remaining thin layer of snowflakes and puddles, Ina looked up at Lake, her confusion clear, as if hoping that Lake could answer her confusion.
Immediately she felt Reik smooth her white hair and said with a smile:
"It's better to go out for a walk than to stay at home. Maybe you can learn something here."
Soon the two arrived at a training ground, where there were constant crisp sounds of the collision of wooden instruments, as if dozens or hundreds of people were fighting with wooden weapons.
When you walk up to the stone viewing platform and look down, you can see dozens of groups of well-dressed soldiers sparring at a certain distance apart.
In addition to general formation training, physical training, mission execution, and personal combat skills, exercise is also an obligation that soldiers should fulfill for their salaries.
Of course, Lake didn't ask Ina to come from training.
The girl has not been in a good state since she returned from hunting in the forest yesterday, and she has only spoken little. He can tell that Ina is very depressed, feeling depressed about the failure of yesterday's hunting.
But he had no idea how to do it... Firstly, Ina's first hunt could not be called a failure at all. As a solo adventurer, being able to successfully hunt a real World of Warcraft for the first time is an extremely outstanding and rare group of adventurers. Batch.
Second, his comfort was completely unable to clear away the haze in Ina's heart.
Part of it may be because he's not good at it.
But no matter what, with limited ideas, Lake could only choose a method that he thought was more feasible-the environment of peers might be able to alleviate the situation of some girls.
Perhaps the matter can be best solved by looking for the thoughtful Ma Kesi, but Ma Kesi is no longer in the school.
At this time, in the place closest to the two people's viewing stand on the training ground, a brown-haired boy was working hard to defend. A three-pound equal-weight wooden sword was obviously not something that a new swordsman like him who had not yet awakened to fight could easily grow. Time waved.
Steadying the sword to prevent him from adjusting his chops and causing his posture to collapse after blocking, it almost took all the boy's strength, and his old gray-white shirt was soaked with sweat.
The opponent on the other side, the well-dressed man, was completely different. Although his swordsmanship was rough, his posture and center of gravity were never messed up, and he was able to dominate the brown-haired boy with every blow.
Even if he is not a professional who has awakened from the war, he is still a soldier who has been practicing a long sword all year round. Compared with the brown-haired boy who sweats like rain, he can be considered offensive and defensive.
But in Ina's eyes, these didn't matter. With her strength, it was easy to subdue the two of them.
"How is it?" Of course, Lake wasn't asking Ina what she thought of their sparring, but he couldn't think of a better way to ask.
"Not much." And Ina obviously misunderstood what Lake meant: "One can't even hold the sword firmly, and the other is just an ordinary swordsman with fighting breath. I don't think there is anything worth learning from this."
She frowned slightly and looked at Lake. Ina didn't understand and couldn't understand. Instead of looking at this, wouldn't it be easier to tell her to practice diligently?
She gritted her teeth.
"It's obvious that you're weak! It's obviously nothing more than this! Don't show off shamelessly all day long!" The girl stood up and roared angrily, with a hoarse voice and a hint of vibrato.
These seemed to be responses to Lake's questions.
But for some reason, the resentment and trembling in his words made Lake feel like he was mocking himself.
Yes, this was Ina's self-deprecation for herself... At that moment, she faced the fear of death, as if a pair of iron pliers were embedded in her throat... Those who believed in their own strength and the goal they vowed to pursue, as a perfect person The moment when a magician's pride was washed away and shattered like a mud tower in a flood.
She regretted it, if only for a moment, but she did.
I regret why I wanted to join the hunt, and I regret why I wanted to become an adventurer.
Even thinking about Ina now, she still feels sick about her hypocrisy.
"Since you think so, do you dare to have a competition with someone you think is too weak?!" At some point, the duel had ended, and a strong male voice spoke to Ina over the sound of weapons clashing on the field. Shouted the audience seat where he was.
The young man raised his head, a pair of black and red eyes staring at the white-haired girl, bright and high-spirited, trickles of sweat covered his cheeks, and his gray shirt was stained with dust soaked in sweat.
There was a trace of disgust in Ina's green eyes. She was obviously challenging herself on the field and was full of ambition. She didn't know why she felt disgust in her heart at this moment.
Before Lake could say anything to dissuade her, she had already jumped down and landed firmly opposite the young man.
Everyone who was attracted by the movement here and saw Ina displaying the extraordinary movements that ordinary people could achieve showed horror on their faces.
Lake was obviously not expecting this. Just when he was hesitating to stop this meaningless fight, a rough voice suddenly called him.
"Mr. Lake, I didn't expect you to bring your little lady to visit the military camp."
