Chapter 2548 The Utmost Benevolence and Justice
The final warning is an expression of my utmost benevolence.
As for what John Davis will do, that's not my business or my control.
After returning home, I had dinner with my family and then went straight to the airship base with Lizi.
Although she has flown on the magic airship several times, Li Zi is still very interested in this kind of vehicle that can fly into the sky.
She lay on the window and kept looking out. There was only a hazy halo in Moonlight City at night, and it was unclear whether it was a jungle or a building. In other words, Moonlight City was originally a country made of jungle.
Children always have an unusual persistence in the things they like. Take Lizzy for example. She also inherited my hobby and likes to watch the stars on a quiet night.
The twinkling starlight was like blinking eyes, but Li Zi stared at the starlight unblinkingly.
She was so serious, as if she wanted to remember it firmly in her heart along with the frequency of the twinkling stars.
It wasn't until she finally felt a little tired and started rubbing her eyes that I asked, "Do you also like to watch the stars?"
"Hmm" Lizzy nodded.
"Then why don't you watch it with us normally?"
"Because. Because" she hesitated, as if she was in danger and shy.
"Okay, let me guess." After thinking for a moment, I asked, "Are you worried about dirty steps and don't want to dirty your clothes?"
Lizzy shook her head repeatedly.
"Well, are you worried about stepping on Xiaozhi and Seren's daddy?"
Lizzy shook her head even more.
"Is that... shy? Afraid of embarrassment?"
This time, Li Zi didn't shake her head.
It turned out to be shy. No wonder, that unwelcome past has been deeply engraved in her heart and has become an unforgettable nightmare for her. This nightmare can only be peeled off layer by layer with the care and love of her family. In the end, she was freed from fear and dared to face life.
But this process is so difficult. Fortunately, I have already prepared for a long-term battle.
It was approaching ten o'clock, and Lizzy was still awake. Soon, the waiter brought a supper, a plate of vegetables, a few slices of barbecue, a bowl of porridge, and a fried fish, and the drink was a large cocktail.
As soon as the supper was put on the table, Li Zi's eyes were completely attracted to her. She didn't even look at the stars and just kept swallowing her saliva.
"Let's eat together," I said, "but you can't drink wine."
As I said that, I picked up the wine glass and drank half of it in one gulp: "The wine is mine."
She nodded, ran over happily, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating happily without realizing that there was only one pair of chopsticks on the entire dining table.
This is not the waiter's fault, because the waiter received similar training before taking up the job. Children of Lizzy's age should not eat late-night snacks, as they are prone to indigestion.
Even though I know this, I still can't bear to see Li Zi swallowing her saliva in such a pitiful way. Every time I see that expression, my heart twitches and it hurts.
After Li Zi devoured the food for a while, she realized that I hadn't moved my chopsticks. She looked at me doubtfully, then at the table, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and exclaimed, followed by a look of guilt on her face. He stood in front of me, holding chopsticks in both hands, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for punishment from his parents.
I smiled gently: "Eat, I'm not hungry."
Lizzy stared at me without blinking, observing my expression. After a while, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the table, and continued to devour.
After a glass of wine, my stomach felt warm, and I leaned on the sofa with my hands on my pillow. I began to think about the topics we might talk about and the problems I might encounter when I meet Master Dewey tomorrow.
First of all, Master Dewey did not trust the apostles. This was a habit accumulated over many years and could not be changed in a short period of time.
Secondly, Master Dewey wants to obtain the science and technology of the maker Luke. Based on his character, he will most likely choose to learn this way.
But the problem is that he does not trust the apostles. Even if he sincerely studies, he will not dare to use the knowledge after mastering it, resulting in the delay in verifying advanced knowledge.
However, practice is the only criterion for mastering the truth. If you cannot practice it yourself, you will not be able to truly master the science and technology you have learned, and your progress will be stagnant.
For the goblins who rely on science and technology to make a fortune, if science and technology cannot advance, it will greatly affect the overall strength of Fort Vicky.
In an atmosphere where overall strength is constantly advancing, stagnation means retreat.
This is a problem that must be discussed clearly with Master Dewey.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep unconsciously.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.
The dazzling sunshine warmed my face.
After stretching, I got up from the sofa and looked around the room. Lizzy was not there. She probably ran out to play, or maybe she was hungry and went to the restaurant.
After washing my face, I walked to the restaurant and happened to bump into Lizzy who was eating a sundae. I smiled and said hello to her.
Lizzy held the sundae in her hands very sensibly, jumped down from the chair, ran to me, and handed it to me to eat.
I shook my head and refused: "You can eat it, I won't."
Li Zi looked puzzled, still holding the sundae and refusing to leave. I had to say perfunctorily: "I just woke up and my stomach and intestines are not good. Eating cold food can easily cause stomachache."
Then she nodded in understanding and continued to eat the sundae happily.
Under my instruction, the breakfast was extremely rich and a whole table was laid out.
Lizzy and I sat on one side, with chopsticks in one hand and a spoon in the other, devouring the feast on the table with great joy, and the chef on the side was stunned.
It’s no wonder that most of the passengers who usually take the magic airship are businessmen and civilians, and adventurers are only a minority. Very few people eat open-handed like me, and can eat dozens of dishes in one meal.
After having enough tea and food, Lizi ordered a sundae and ate it happily, while I leaned on the sofa and stared at the white clouds passing by in a daze outside the window.
The airship arrived at Witchburgh near noon.
The Prime Minister of Fort Vicky specially waited for me at the airship base. After exchanging salutes with him, I took Lizi with me and exchanged greetings with him while walking.
Soon we arrived at the palace. Master Dewey had been waiting for a long time. He warmly welcomed Lizzy and me into the palace and invited me to have lunch along the way.
Of course I won't refuse, and Lizzy is even less likely to refuse.
It was another more sumptuous meal. After the banquet, I took Lizi and Master Dewey to the forbidden area.
After closing the door and making sure no one was eavesdropping, I asked Li Zi to call out Yad Yan and Bing Naisi.
Upon seeing the two elves, Master Dewey almost fainted from shock.
He raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Yadyan and Bingnaisi. He stopped talking several times. After a long time, he murmured: "The ancient elves are not legends, but actually exist!"
