Chapter 307 Kid, I’m Very Optimistic About You! "
The windmill of time turns and turns, and the gears of fate roll and roll... Okay, I have to admit, this is a very cliché statement. Well, in short, you only need to know one thing, that is, no matter what kind of sensation a thing causes, no matter how awesome a character once was...In the end, as time goes by, these will always pass, and no one will care about you. !
Originally, according to this rule. The destruction of the statue of the saint in Shanxi City should have been settled as the two blasphemers were purified. But this is not the case. This matter actually intensified due to the intervention of official newspapers in various cities.
Today one city reports on the grand war at that time, and tomorrow another city talks about the glorious life and deeds of Powers... The people were so excited that they were naturally very interested in this matter, and the ensuing discussions continued. This trend is simply pushing Powers and the others to the hero position.
This is of course abnormal. If Powis and the others were the heirs of some great nobleman, or more simply, royal relatives, it would not be unusual for such a situation to occur. But in fact, Powers and Bernie are just two barefoot civilians with no background, connections, etc., and they even offended many such nobles. In this case, this matter is a bit strange. It looks more like whitewashing or concealing something...
…
Liva City, Xicheng District, a large attic house.
After lunch, two groups happened to meet at the arch of a courtyard. They seemed to know each other. After a brief salute, they stopped to chat.
"Brother Karuk, I have troubled you these days." A young man led by one party came out and thanked with a smile.
"Your Excellency, you are too polite. This is what a subordinate should do." There were two people on the other side, the middle-aged man named Karuk among them, hurriedly waved his hands and replied.
"You are too polite. We in the gray army do not talk about superiority and inferiority. It is not work now, so you can call me whatever you want. Well, brother Karuk, please just call me Difu." This young man obviously has a higher status. He is a bit taller, but his attitude is polite, and he smiles and seems to be easy to talk to. If Tang En were here, he would definitely recognize the young man named Diff as the person who sent him a message in Ghor City before, that is, a high-level executive of the secret agency.
"Well..." Nakaruk hesitated for a while, then looked at Difu's insistence, and finally compromised, "Then subordinate... Then I would be rude. How about brother Difu living here? If you need anything else, Just ask."
This is not a big talk. In fact, the two parties have known each other before, but the relationship has not been further developed. Naturally, they know that the other party will not make any excessive demands. As for some ordinary requests, Karuk, as the head of the secret agency in Liva City, can naturally solve them easily.
"Haha, it's already very good. Brother Karuk's is the best one among the many branches. It has a large area and is close to the bustling city. It is very convenient to travel."
"I can testify to this. In the city I stayed in before, the institutions were located in slums."
"Me too..."
Several people behind Difu laughed and said, this is not an exaggeration. The funds of the secret agency are already tight, and the terrain must be concealed, so they are located in various remote corners. As for the spacious loft here in Riva City, it is an exception...
"Okay, okay. If you continue, Brother Karuk thinks you have a problem with him." Difu interrupted the "complaints" of the people behind him, then glanced and said with a half-smile, "Besides, I Don’t you know about you? Don’t cry poor, everyone. The leader said that the addresses of secret agencies in various places will be improved in the future.”
"Hehe..." Those people laughed sheepishly when they heard the words, and then rubbed their hands, looking forward to the content of the words.
Karuk also laughed twice in apology. He had wanted to explain before, but now that Difu had said it, there was no need.
In fact, their previous institution was also in a remote corner of Liva City, and it had not been more than a week since they moved into the loft in front of them. Josiah had just invested in it, and the purpose was self-evident. Naturally, it was to create a good healing environment for Tang En. But in the end, this place naturally has to be used by Brooke and the others.
"But having said that, such a big move. Where did the leader get the money? It couldn't be...Diff, Diff..."
"Huh?" Diff, who looked a little dazed, was startled and then recovered, "What's wrong?"
"Well, I want to ask the leader where the money comes from... You have been following the leader all day long, you should know that, right?"
Difu rolled his eyes when he heard this, with a slightly complicated expression on his face: "What do you think?"
"Uh...it's true."
After their suspicions were confirmed, the young men all had the same complicated expressions as Diff before.
They were almost all important figures in the secret agency, so they naturally knew that Captain Josiah had little money before. Usually, the expenses of secret agencies are also very tight, and they can't wait to break a copper plate in half to use it. But since the man named Tang En came, she seemed to have suddenly changed her style and looked very generous. This is certainly not to say that she was extravagant and wasteful, but that she suddenly became very enthusiastic about things like building secret agencies in various places, and began to continuously inject funds...
They are naturally happy about how much funding the secret agency can have. But after learning that this came from Tang En, I felt a little weird.
The secret agency was truly built from scratch, from scratch. Because of this, in addition to experienced elders like Enoch, Josiah attaches great importance to promoting talented young people, and now these people are benefiting from this. These young people were naturally very loyal to Josiah after being appreciated, but they had to face a problem...
No one denies that Josiah is a beauty. After getting along day and night, it would be a lie to say that they are not attracted to her. However, due to differences in status, the noble birth of a magician, etc., they all tacitly buried this feeling deep in their hearts and usually pretended to be nonchalant. But just because they don't make any moves doesn't mean they want to see others make moves. Men, it's normal to be possessive. But Tang En...
The two of them had known each other for a long time, but Tang En was also a ruthless character, usually calm and cheerful. But as soon as he makes a move... I won't talk about things that are far away like what happened inside the station, and I won't mention giving money to Josiah. Let's just talk about recent things. Diff and the others had accompanied Josiah from Mountain Brook City, so they were naturally more aware of what happened a week ago. It is no exaggeration to say that Tang En managed to play with an earth-level warrior and a great magician all by himself. Even in the end, not only was the Gray Clothes Army not implicated, but he also freed himself from the matter...
Such means, such skill...Diff and the others felt extremely shocked just thinking about it, and the back of their heads felt numb. I even vaguely feel that perhaps only such a person is worthy of Captain Josiah...
I felt both impressed and a little jealous. This is what Difu and the others were thinking. In this case, it is no wonder that their expressions are complicated and their hearts are tangled.
Of course, Karuk didn't know these things, so after the scene was somewhat silent, he pointed to the backyard and asked cautiously: "Well, what is the relationship between Captain Tang En and the group leader? Well, it's just some Curious, the leader is very concerned about him these days..."
Although this question is a bit abrupt, it is appropriate at the moment. Firstly, it can break the sudden silence on the scene. Secondly, Karuk is on good terms with Diff and the others. Asking some somewhat presumptuous questions can deepen the relationship between the two parties. Just like two people keeping the same secret, they always appear to be very close. Furthermore, even if this topic is really inappropriate, the other party will not give it a bad look, and Karuk can also understand the boundaries of the relationship between the two parties through this.
However, this seems like a suitable question, but at the moment, it is undoubtedly a stab in the heart of Difu and others. For a moment, they looked at each other, their expressions even more embarrassing and weird.
"Ahem..." Looking at Karuk who was worried about gains and losses, Dief cleared his throat twice and was about to drop the topic. But just at this moment,
"Hey, everyone is here, what are you talking about?"
Not far behind Karuk, Joshua, dressed in white robes, walked towards this side carrying two bottles.
"Hello, Captain..." Several people here bowed and saluted.
Josiah is the top leader of the secret agency. He should have been called something like a leader or leader. However, Josiah didn't like this title. In the end, the two sides compromised and called her according to her rank in the Gray Army.
"Well, I didn't say anything... I just happened to meet Brother Karuk and wanted to express my gratitude for the hospitality." After a brief salute, Difu replied lightly.
Karuk on the side didn't know that he had just asked the wrong question. Hearing this, he nodded quickly, indicating that that was the case.
"Oh, I was supposed to say these words. Good job, Dave." Josiah naturally couldn't make any movements while holding the bottle with both hands, so he praised with a smile.
"Ha, I should." Dave tried his best to smile, and then he seemed to have just seen the two bottles and asked, "What is this?"
As soon as he finished asking, Difu almost couldn't help but slap himself in the mouth. Isn't this a mean talk? With this attitude, is there any other possibility besides visiting the man in the backyard?
Sure enough...Josiah raised the bottle in his hand, blinked and smiled, "Is this it? This bottle is boiled medicine. This is the chicken soup I personally cooked for Tang."
Bang, bang, bang...
Chicken soup cooked by one's own hands...Diff repeated in his mind, suppressing a bitter smile. At this moment, he seemed to hear several sounds similar to breaking glass coming from behind, well, it was the kind of shattering!
"Okay, I can't wait to talk anymore." Josiah shook the bottle in his hand and raised his lips slightly, "Ha, the chicken soup won't taste good when it's cold." Then he walked around Dave and walked to the backyard.
The chicken soup won't taste good when it's cold... Difu and the others repeated it in their minds, sipping the intimacy in it and feeling bitter in their hearts.
"Oh, that's right!" Joshua seemed to suddenly remember something and turned around and said, "There is new information in the front room. It's on the table. You can see it." At this point, he pretended to be mysterious. He blinked, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Well, it's a big happy event. Come and see it, I will discuss this matter with you in the afternoon."
Happy event... Seeing Josiah's back disappear, Diff and the others looked at each other and smiled bitterly. What happy events can happen now that can make up for the trauma on their fragile hearts?
…
…
Backyard path, after walking around a corner. Joshua paused suddenly, leaned against the wall and took a few deep breaths, his chest heaving, and a few red clouds floating on his face.
Is it so obvious...
People with strength naturally have more sensitive senses than ordinary people. Josiah is an intermediate magician. Although his hearing is not as abnormal as Tang En's, he can still hear within a few meters. It wasn't that she was eavesdropping on purpose, but she just happened to hear Karuk's question as she passed by, and the complicated expressions on the faces of Difu and others were naturally noticed by her.
As for the cause of the matter, it was quite simple. After seeing Tang En being swallowed by the space crack in Nancheng District, Josiah vented his emotions violently. Then it felt like a door was quietly opened a little in my heart, and when I took care of the injured Tang En, I became more diligent and intimate. This obvious change was naturally noticed by Dev and the others.
Huh... After such repeated adjustments, Joshua finally calmed down and successfully suppressed the red clouds on his face. Then his eyes became a little vague again, as if he was thinking about something...
Of course, Joshua knew what Dev and the others were thinking. Although she didn't have any ideas, she could only be passive about this kind of thing. Because you can't just go in front of others and say, I don't like you... It's hard to say whether this will hurt people's hearts. First of all, it's just too pretentious. So she could only use some tricks to reject it secretly like she did just now.
As for Tang En, well, I can't help but collect information about him, present the best side to him, and be especially worried when he's in danger... Is this because I like him? Joshua pursed his lips and was a little confused for a moment.
After all, she is just a young girl. Although in aristocratic circles, it is common to get married and have children at this age, but in any case, if you have not experienced it, it means you are inexperienced. Sometimes feelings are as simple as a blank sheet of paper, and sometimes they are as abysmal as the sea. The matter still made this girl quite confused.
Yeah, never mind, never mind...Josiah shook his head violently, like a puppy just out of the water, trying to shake off the water droplets clinging to his body. I gave up on myself and thought, well, let’s just do this for now, just take it one step at a time...
After taking a few more deep breaths, Josiah raised his lips slightly and showed a very bright smile. After doing all this, he quickly walked into the courtyard at the back.
But as soon as he entered, Josiah's smile turned into an anxious expression: "Tang, why did you come out?"
In the empty yard in front of the house, Tang En was walking and stretching his arms. After hearing what Josiah said, he couldn't help grinning, turning around and saying helplessly, "What you said...why does it sound like I just escaped from prison? Hey, don't rush, don't rush..."
After dealing with the driving away, Tang En was about to stabilize Joshua and said, "Hey, some common sense, sister. The injured also need to exercise, so that they can recover faster."
"But your injury..." Josiah still did not give up the idea of driving the injured man into the house.
It's no wonder that Joshua made such a fuss, it was because Tang En's injury this time was unusual. You must know that the last time he fought with Eunice, he suffered such serious injuries that the old doctor judged him to be hopeless. In the end, within two or three days, he was already out of danger. But this time it took almost a whole week before he could just get out of bed.
There is naturally a reason for this. This time Tang En can be regarded as an old injury that has not healed and a new one. Is it easy to withstand the attack of the great space magician? If it weren't for the previous upgrade of blood energy and the addition of the creation skill, it would be hard to say whether Tang En could have withstood this.
Seeing that there was no end in sight, Tang En had no choice but to use his tried and tested sure-kill move, and pointed at the bottle in Joshua's hand with a curious look on his face: "Hey, what is this?"
After successfully diverting his attention, Josiah hurriedly opened the bottle cap: "Ah, I almost forgot. Drink this medicine while it's hot. Well, this bottle is chicken soup, so I have to finish it."
After achieving his goal, Tang En naturally followed the good advice, sat on the steps in front of the house, and drank the two large bottles of stuff obediently.
"Well, there are also chicken nuggets." Joshua handed over the fork, and then sat aside, supervising with a very serious expression.
Damn it, you might as well stay in the house... Tang En took the fork with a wry smile, randomly picked a chicken nugget and put it into his mouth to chew.
Seeing this, Josiah finally felt relieved, and then he narrowed his eyes and smiled and said: "I want to tell you a happy news, you eat yours... Well, you are the first to know besides me."
Tang En bit into the chicken nuggets and said vaguely: "Nelshuo (you say)."
"We won again!" Joshua waved his fist to the sky, looking extremely excited, "A few days ago, 50,000 regular soldiers attacked Dawn City for the second time, but this time we were defeated halfway. "
"Oh." After swallowing the chicken nuggets, Tang En looked particularly calm.
Josiah was naturally dissatisfied with this: "What, why are you not happy at all?"
"Uh... okay." Tang En put down his knife and fork helplessly, and his expression instantly turned to ecstasy, "Ah? Is it true? We really won? Haha..."
"..."
After a while, Joshua closed his open mouth in shock and looked over angrily: "You... are so boring! Give me back the chicken!"
Easily avoiding Joshua's fighting arm, Tang En looked arrogant: "You're kidding me. I'm the ultimate killer who has conquered all the old, weak, sick and disabled, and is nicknamed "Ghost Seeing Worry", and you still want to take it. Go back? You are so disrespectful of me... Oh, don't grab it, don't grab it, the soup is going to spill..."
"Don't lie to me, you've finished the soup..."
"Ahem, wait, I tell the truth, I confess, I confess." After finally keeping the chicken nugget bottle, Tang En let out a long sigh of relief, "I've never seen you like this. What you gave away was... Well, that , the opponent only has 50,000 people. Our current strength is not low. If we don’t bring back 50,000 skilled soldiers from the front line, or if we don’t have 100,000 reserve troops, it is unlikely to pose a threat to us. "
"Oh, that's pretty much it." Joshua finally let Tang En go, and then tilted his head, showing a fox-like smile, "I decided to activate the secret agency again... Huh, don't think that blocking this information is enough. I can block the ears of everyone in the world. This time I want everyone to know that the regular army has been defeated again!"
"Well, yes, we must teach them a lesson!" Tang En, who had made up for it, agreed very much. "Since they gave us the right to speak, let's be cruel and say that someone left this time. The unlearned and unskilled aristocratic leaders from the back door, or more than half of the soldiers felt the great love of the Gray Army, turned their backs on the battlefield, and resolutely stood on the side of justice..."
"...Tang, you are so treacherous! Well, let's do this..."
"Uh... kid, I'm very optimistic about you!"
