Chapter 3368 Ambition
Just as Sosia said, Alice and Shallan returned to the tavern early the next morning and bumped into me who happened to come to the tavern for a drink that morning.
"Good morning, you two," I said with a smile, "Are you here to buy a drink so early today?"
Shalan rolled her eyes at me, hummed slightly, and remained silent.
Alice on the side showed a slight smile on her delicate cheeks: "Good morning."
Seeing them sitting at the bar, I moved closer and whispered: "Can you two tell me how the people from the national power plan to deal with me?"
Alice turned to look at me, her eyes full of surprise.
Shalan showed no surprise at all, and said leisurely: "Sosia must have told him."
"I told him."
The door to the back room opened and Sosia came out.
"Sosia"
Alice murmured.
"No need to worry." Sosia handed a prepared cocktail to Alice and said calmly: "He won't do anything to you."
"That's impossible to say," Shalan said angrily from the side: "This kid has never been honest in his eyes since he met us."
"This is not like you, Shalan." Sosia chuckled: "The former top administrator of the Magic Academy would not get angry over such a trivial matter."
"I'm not angry." Shalan curled her lips, but her angry eyes betrayed her mood at the moment.
Sosia turned to me and said softly: "Since she stepped down as the top manager, she has begun to indulge in a leisurely life. This time, your conflict with the national power has broken her leisurely life. That's why she feels resentful towards you. ,Please do not mind."
"Hey! Sosia! Don't talk nonsense, I don't have any"
"I understand, I understand." I nodded repeatedly and said, "Just like my fiancée, Bai Yunying, she falls into a state of half-asleep and half-awake almost every day. If anyone dares to forcefully wake her up, the end will definitely not be good, and they will be beaten up. They are all minor injuries, and you might break your bones and tendons if you fall, and even with the treatment of a priest, you will have to stay in bed for three to five days."
Sosia smiled and said: "Although it's not a hit, it's not far away."
We both looked at each other and smiled, leaving Shalan aside who was still protesting.
After two glasses of wine, Shalan finally calmed down. She held her chin, assumed a lazy posture, and asked me: "Xiao Yi, how do you plan to deal with people with national power?"
"Just deal with it straightforwardly," I said calmly: "Come on one, beat one up, come on a pair, beat up a pair."
"What if a group comes?"
"Then run home."
"Ha, are you afraid?" Shalan's eyebrows were full of slyness: "I thought that the dignified foreign elder was not afraid of anything!"
"Please, I'm human too, okay."
"You are a goblin!" Shalan corrected with a serious look on her face: "You are an ancient goblin!"
"Well, I don't agree with that." I shook my head and said, "I'm not a fairy now. If I really want to be a fairy, Lizzy is one and the only one so far."
"What about you?" Shallan asked, "Who do you think you are?"
"I'm still a human for now." I smiled bitterly and touched my left hand, feeling the cold and hard touch. I said, "Unless the seal in my body is broken, I can be considered a fairy in the true sense. If you do, you can only think of yourself as an ordinary human being."
"Huh? Is that so?" Shalan shook her head and said, smelling of alcohol, "It's not easy for you ancient fairies."
"Yes, yes" I echoed, and at the same time turned my face sideways and asked Sosia in a low voice: "Is Shalan drunk?"
Sosia nodded imperceptibly.
It turns out that Shalan looks like this when she's drunk, and she's quite considerate.
and
Shalan, who was born as a dark elf, has dark skin, but her delicate appearance looks very cute.
Just when I was admiring Shalan's lovely appearance, she was so drunk that she fell drunk on Alice's shoulder.
Alice sighed softly, helped Shalan, who was sleeping innocently, and went to the room behind the tavern to rest.
After watching Alice and Shallan leave, I poured myself another glass of wine and asked softly: "Is she usually drunk in the morning?"
Sosia shook her head slightly: "She rarely drinks in the morning. She must have encountered something unhappy today."
I nodded, understanding.
Not long after, Alice came out, sat back to her original position, thought for a few seconds, raised her head, looked at me, and said, "They put pressure on Shalan to take action against you, but she refused."
After a pause, she added: "Me too."
"Thank you" I said.
"No need." Alice shook her head: "Forcing others to join the organization is wrong in the first place."
I curled my lips and said helplessly: "But I'm afraid they don't think so."
"So we said no."
"In other words, if you don't refuse, you will be the next ones to challenge me, right?"
Alice nodded.
"It's such an inhumane organization," I sighed, and then I suggested, "How about you quit?"
“It’s okay for us to withdraw, but without the care of the state, Tarakuta is likely to suffer.”
"Isn't Tarakuta a non-governmental organization?" I asked in confusion: "It's an organization that has nothing to do with national power, isn't it?"
"It was like this before the Legendary Heroes Period," Alice said: "But since the Legendary Heroes Period, the status of national power organizations has been repeatedly promoted, and the status of non-governmental organizations has been continuously suppressed. In order to survive, non-governmental organizations have to move closer to national power organizations. .”
"Today, although civil society organizations appear to be free organizations, they actually have an inextricable relationship with state power organizations. Many civil organizations have even become affiliated organizations of state power organizations."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, the greater the power, the greater the ambition. The greater the ambition, the more it expands. Today's national power has expanded to such an extent that it not only turns a deaf ear to civil strife, but even reaches out to Civil society!"
"They actually want to recruit civil organizations that even the monarch didn't try to recruit. Hahaha, how brave they are. How brave they are!"
I praised loudly.
The loud voice broke the leisurely and elegant music and seemed very abrupt.
"No matter how angry you are, it won't help." Sosia slowly wiped the wine glass and said lightly: "Since they dare to do such a thing, they won't worry about being exposed."
"Hmph, let me tell you, your majesties not only gave them too lofty status, too great rights, too abundant funds, but also too much kindness. If this continues, one day, trouble will occur."
"The trouble has already happened," Sosia said calmly, "Now His Majesty is thinking about how to stop the losses."
