Chapter 3542 A Trustworthy Companion
The night is dark and cool breeze blows.
Walking side by side with Heloise on the street, I looked at the slightly deserted gambling houses and custom shops, as well as the pubs and restaurants that were doing more business than usual. I recalled in my mind the loss of the dragon warriors a few days ago. Most of the scenes of human adventurers celebrating because of their small losses could not help but reveal a cold look in their eyes.
"Actually, I still have a good impression of Xi Lan. At least as a person, Xi Lan is very good."
"Why are you mentioning him?" Heloise was a little displeased: "That mediocre guy who only knows how to drink, drink, and drink all day long without any ambition to make progress. What is it that makes you have a good impression of him? What is it that is worth it? Do you praise me?"
"His habit is to drink alcohol. I won't comment on this sometimes, but I won't comment on him cherishing his friends."
After a pause, I continued: "It is not ruled out that he is suspected of drinking, but at the memorial service held in a small area among the dragon warriors, Xi Lan participated in his own name, and I heard that he was His expression was solemn and his eyes were slightly sad.”
"The eyes are the window to the soul. If you want to hide something, some people may show false expressions, but the eyes cannot be concealed, and the dragon tribe has keen insight and can detect the most revealing things in their eyes. Real feelings, and besides, Xi Lan is not a qualified actor, so I don’t think he is acting.”
"Since he is not acting, it means that he is really sad and sad because of the death of his companion."
"What you saw was just the picture of Xi Lan drinking excessively, but you didn't pay attention to the feelings he had hidden deep in his heart for his companions and comrades."
"He's just a drunkard."
Heloise wanted to refute, but suddenly found that she had nothing to say.
She may not really know much about Xi Lan, especially regarding his emotional issues, and her understanding is very limited.
"Xilan may not be a good leader, but he is a good companion and comrade-in-arms who is worthy of entrusting his back."
Heloise lowered her head and thought for a long time, then raised her head and nodded slowly.
"Compared with Xi Lan, this group of people spent all day and night celebrating because the number of human losses was very small. They went to gambling houses and custom shops and stayed all night, but they never paid attention to the dragon people who silently paid for them. Warriors and adventurers, even if they all die in battle, I won’t feel even a little bit sorry.”
“Those who cherish the fruits of other people’s labor undeservingly do not deserve to be cherished.”
Finally, I said this summary coldly.
"But they are humans after all, the same race as you."
"I'm sorry," I said, spreading my hands, "I am a human from the Zephyr Continent, not a human from the Demon Realm, and these guys who don't know how to cherish their companions are generally not called humans in our place, but scum. "
Heloise looked complicated and hesitated to speak. After a moment, she resolutely changed the direction of the topic: "When will the next batch of dragon reinforcements arrive?"
"I don't know the specific time," I said, "It seems like it will take some time."
"Can't it be faster?" Heloise complained, and then she looked at me, her eyes full of expectation: "I heard that you have a close relationship with Tyrannosaurus King Bakar. Can you please help me urge him? Sir Tyrannosaurus King Bakar?"
"Still urging?" I said with a half-smile but not a smile, "Do you think of me as the Lord of the Dragon Clan?"
"If I really had that ability, would I still have to stand on the city wall all day long, holding on to the battlements and watching these adventurers fight on the battlefield?" I chuckled and said, "Please stop making trouble, okay?"
"That's all I said," Heloise said a little aggrievedly, "After all, this is related to the safety of mankind."
"I know that you care about humans, and Bakar also cares about the dragons. If you compare it, your care and Bakar's care are not at the same level at all. Although you care about humans, you care more about the members of the Oath Keepers organization. , but Bakar is different, he is the true master of the dragon clan, and the dragon clan he cares about is the entire dragon clan."
"Especially after learning the news that the dragon tribe's army was completely annihilated, he had to be more cautious. He couldn't just sacrifice his family members endlessly for the sake of mere humans. No one would agree to this matter. ah."
Heloise looked at me with aggrieved eyes, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then asked, "I heard that you have a great status in Zephyr Continent."
"My status has been taken away." I sighed and said, "Not long before I came to the devil world, I was morally kidnapped by a very powerful organization and had to step down from all positions."
"But you have a very good relationship with the Dragon Clan, and aren't there giant dragons living in your place? With giant dragons here, I don't believe you will have any real status there." Heloise said seriously: "If If you were in the same situation and moved from your planet to the demon world, the six major organizations would definitely compete for you."
"Perhaps the six major organizations in the demon world are indeed like this." I nodded and agreed, and then retorted: "But it is different from Zefeng Continent. After all, the actual control of each town in the demon world belongs to the six major organizations, and the planet I am on Different, the actual control there belongs to the major royal families, nobles and an organization called National Power."
"National power?" Heloise said: "This name sounds very powerful. Do they really have power comparable to the country?"
"Although it is somewhat unworthy of the name, we have to admit that national power controls the most powerful adventurers in a country. Even in some countries, the strength of national power organizations means the strongest strength under the imperial power."
"Under the imperial power?" Heloise's eyes brightened slightly and she said, "What about above the imperial power?"
"That is the power of nature, which is beyond the reach of ordinary humans."
"That means that among the powers that humans can touch, imperial power is the most powerful, right?"
"Yes" I said.
Hearing this, Heloise felt a little regretful: "If you can mobilize the strong people there, remember it."
"Don't think about it." I refused bluntly: "This is impossible. Even if the people around me agree, I will not agree."
"Why?" Heloise looked stunned, her complicated eyes full of disbelief, as if I would definitely agree to her idea.
“Think about it, this is impossible,” I said, “That is an adventurer from Zephyr Continent, and he is my trump card. Especially when Zephyr Continent is in the midst of a national war, any slight disturbance may cause a country to be destroyed. If the damage is severe, I won’t be able to transfer my people.”
"What about the demon world?" Heloise asked eagerly.
