Hobbs took a sip of beer calmly and said with a hint of melancholy
"I hate this society that is extremely face-conscious..."
The matter of Elgin Great Swordsman came to an end.
The adventurers discussed it in private, wondering how long the legendary hero would parade in Wrexham.
Alice and Rukia at the counter naturally also chatted. As the little fan girl of the great swordsman, they seem to have many topics in common.
"Elgin Great Swordsman looks very good, he is barely a good man..." Lucia paused and continued, "Although the person is a little fatter, he may still be able to return to the figure in the picture. "
"If I remember correctly, you used to say that you would never like fat men. It feels like a pig is fucking." Alice vomited blankly.
"This... have I ever said this?" Rukia narrowed her eyes and seemed to forget it in a blink of an eye.
"Yes, I definitely said it." Alice nodded, thinking that Rukia turned her face too quickly.
"Oh~" Rukia waved her hand and said with a smile, "These are all minor problems, not very important. Although Elgin Swordsman has gained a bit, he can't cover up his own strengths, and he may recover in the future. The figure shown in the photo, and he is the owner of Grand Duke Ofre, both prestige and wealth. This kind of man... is really rare~"
Alice was silent, thinking that she didn't like Elgin the Great Swordsman, she was purely looking for wealth and prestige.
"There must be a lot of girls like men like Elgin's Great Swordsman, right? Think about the pressure..." Rukia looked a little melancholy.
"It's true that many girls like it very much, but..." Alice raised her head, her face puzzled, "Is there always something strange?" "Where is it strange?" Rukia asked strangely, if I remember correctly, Alice seemed to admire Elgin Great Swordsman very much, but her reaction was colder than she thought.
"I saw Elgin the Great Swordsman with my own eyes a year ago. Even if I didn't see his face clearly, I could feel the momentum of being in a high position for a long time and holding everything contemptuously, as if I had no interest in anything. "Alice raised her head and thought for a while, "If Luke is Elgin's great swordsman, it feels a little bit ordinary, and I always feel a little bit off in temperament..."
"God! This is also ordinary? Alice, your eyes are too high, right?" Rukia rolled her eyes and continued, "I defeated the two thorn knights on the spot. This strength seems to be on par with Masefield. Right? What's more, the wooden knives used by people are not seriously hit at all, and they are still the eldest son of Family Ofre. Family Ofre is the most powerful family in the entire empire, and even Her Majesty will give three points."
Alice was suddenly speechless by Rukia, thinking that she just didn't feel right, she didn't say that Luke was not Elgin's great swordsman, why Rukia was more poisoned than herself?
"Alright, alright, I just talked casually just now, don't mind."
"Don't you also admire Elgin Great Swordsman? Now that you know his true identity, don't you feel happy?" Rukia asked in surprise.
"I..." Alice paused and said awkwardly, "Of course I am happy, in fact, I also like Elgin Great Swordsman..." Actually, Alice didn't say it too obviously, but expressed it tactfully. come out.
Although Alice can always feel a bit of disobedience, it seems that Luke does look like the real Elgin swordsman.
Lovely Lisi also has a secret affection for Merlin, and has overlapped the figures of Merlin and Elgin Great Swordsman more than once.
Because some of Merlin's shortcomings have been eliminated, and the identity of the evil great devil is exactly the same as the Elgin great swordsman in Alice's ideals.
However, the fake Luke that suddenly appeared now confuses Alice with all kinds of things, and immediately makes Alice confused, making her not sure who she likes?
It was obvious that Merlin was Elgin's great swordsman, but Alice didn't want to believe it.
Now Elgin's great swordsman has another fact, which makes Alice feel a little disappointed.
With such a contradictory heart, Alice kept torturing, making her undecided.
"You will make Merlin cry in the toilet..." Rukia looked at Alice with a somewhat helpless expression.
"Huh?! Why?" Alice was stunned and asked in surprise.
"Aren't you with Merlin now? You like other people in your heart. It makes him uncomfortable no matter how you think about it?" Rukia smiled meaningfully.
"I..." Alice was speechless, and then remembered that Merlin had lost her savings, "I don't care what that guy thinks! We are not real couples, whoever we like is free, don’t treat us as real couples. good or not?"
"Really? But when I see Merlin and other girls walking too close, you always become very irritable. Doesn't that mean you like him?" Rukia smiled more and more happily, feeling that Alice was just a mouthful The upright guy never tells the truth.
"I...I didn't mean that..." Alice became very embarrassed when she spoke, as if she refused to admit it.
"I think Alice, you can't tell the relationship between like and worship now..." Rukia frowned, feeling that Alice was a little confused.
"Is there... is there a big difference?" Alice asked suspiciously. In terms of emotional experience, she must be no match for Rukia.
"Of course it's different. I like someone because I want to be with him all the time. I can see him every day. To worship someone is just that you admire the other person and appreciate his talent. It's not the same thing at all." Seriously, I feel that Alice can no longer understand the difference between the two things by visual inspection.
"Um..." Alice lowered her head in silence, her eyebrows tucked on her forehead.
I just simply worship the Elgin Great Swordsman?
Then who is it that I like...
Is it Merlin?
The highest point of the Kecili Mountains in the middle of the night.
Here has become more ruined, and the dilapidated magic circle is faintly visible.
The stars are shining, and the moonlight is falling radiantly.
This is where the destruction of the Haogui Praise not long ago, without any vitality.
On the top of the mountain, the ghost praised the last survivor, and Grace stood here wearing a purple robe.
The bright red hair danced with the wind, and was gently swayed by the breeze of the mountain, without the slightest trace of confusion.
Holding a white skull-shaped wand, the eye sockets flashed with weird red lights, like a ghost lodged in it.
Because Grace went out on the assassination mission and did not follow Swinburne, she escaped.
If she was also there when asking for praise from the ghosts, she would probably die here.
Grace finally received the news from Swinburne that she had come here to gather, but unexpectedly, all her companions died.
Even her lover, Swinburne, died here, she can only collect the body and feel the cold.
Grace held a crumpled cigarette in her hand, and a gnawed corpse in front of her.
She knows Swinburne's habits very well, and can instantly conclude that the corpse in front of her is her lover!
Grace burst into tears, and the crystal tears smoothed across her cheeks, ticking down into the damp soil.
Her sad eyes were very sad, her facial features were all crowded together, biting her lip and speechless.
Grace squeezed the cigarette in her hand fiercely, the hatred on her face was not concealed
"This……"
"Who did this?!!!"
"Who actually killed Swinburne?"
"I must let that murderer experience the pain of life is better than death!!"
Chapter 15: Monthly Ticket Plus
In the main hall of the palace.
Queen Elizabeth sits on the high throne.
A few maids stood respectfully behind him, holding the queen's skirt in their hands.
Below Luke, who pretended to be Elgin's great swordsman, knelt on one knee and bowed his head to express his respect.
As the ruling class of the empire, the queen and the Ofre family have many common interests, and now they keep the secrets of the great swordsman.
However, Luke represents more of the family's interests. If he takes over the supremacy of Elgin's great swordsman, the prestige of the Ofre family in the empire will be even better!
"Luke, how does it feel to be Elgin's great swordsman now?" Queen Elizabeth asked condescendingly.
"It's okay. The feeling of being admired by countless people is really desirable." Luke raised his head slightly and said without hesitation.
"Really..." Queen Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, feeling that Luke's answer could not satisfy her.
"But..." Luke paused, squeezing a smile on his fat face, and said seriously, "I know that all of this is rewarded by your majesty. I will remember this kindness. If your majesty has any needs, Our Ofre family will go all out to fight through fire and water for your Majesty, and will never die!"
"Haha..." Queen Elizabeth chuckled. She was very satisfied with Luke's answer. "That's not bad, you deserve to be the only son of the Ofre family. The wisdom of the judgement is no longer weaker than your father, me. I have always rewarded and punished honest people, I will reward the restless people, I will definitely let him not see the dawn of tomorrow, you know what I mean?"
"Your Majesty, I understand, please rest assured." Luke said respectfully, knowing that the queen meant that he was afraid of turning back against the water, or rebelling after gaining the prestige of Elgin's great swordsman, and warned himself that he was both kind and powerful.
"I heard that your Ofre family is expanding its private army recently, and the smoke from the metallurgical plant has floated over the royal capital..." Queen Elizabeth narrowed her eyes and looked at Luke below. "What is your family going to do? No... want to show me your muscles?"
"Uh……"
Luke, who was kneeling down, was startled suddenly, and his whole body was shocked, obviously a little surprised.
Logically speaking, the expansion of the private army is a secret. How did the queen know?
It seems that the queen's eyeliner has a lot, and it can penetrate into the Ofre family!
In fact, the Ofre family is really conspiring to subvert the entire empire, otherwise it will not actively expand its arms and prepare for war.
Now that the fighting power of the Ofre family is very fierce, enough to contend with the royal family head-on, how can it be willing to subdue to others?
Everyone is striving to leave a strong mark in history, and so is the elderly Grand Duke Ofre.
As long as the queen's rule is slightly shaken, the Ofre family will show their fangs and become the new ruler of the empire.
Luke regained his composure in a blink of an eye, trying to convince Queen Elizabeth to justify his family.
"Your Majesty, please don't doubt the loyalty of our family. Our expansion of the private army is entirely to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. If it were not for insufficient manpower, this would never be the case."
Although Queen Elizabeth is very euphemistic, Luke can easily understand it. In short, it is a shock!
"The world is in a peaceful age. Where did foreign enemies invade? Do you treat me as a child?"
"This..." Luke hesitated, and said patiently, "Our family's territory is in northern England, where forests are full, and countless beasts are hidden. Recently, many beasts have rushed out of the forest to harass the villagers. If our family does not If the private army is expanded, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the intrusion of monsters, and I hope your majesty can understand."
