Chapter 3560 Heloise’s Plan
Facing Heloise's curious baby-like eyes, I was silent for a few seconds and said slowly: "Yes, he was betrayed by his former comrades. Although he survived, he lost his left arm as a result."
"Who is it?" Heloise looked serious and furious: "Who actually did such a despicable method!"
"If I told you, would you mention this to Xi Lan?" I asked.
"Won't."
Heloise's eyes were firm.
After I looked at her for a few seconds, I shook my head decisively: "Forget it."
"Why?" Heloise was confused and asked, "What did I do wrong?"
"No, you did nothing wrong," I said, "I just saw uncertainty in your seemingly firm eyes."
"How is that possible?" Heloise said, "I've already said it."
"I know that you said you would not mention this matter to Xilan, but can you guarantee that these words must come from the sincerity?" Looking at Heloise's aggrieved eyes, I asked: "Even if you You are sincere at this moment, but can you guarantee that you will not use this matter to irritate Xi Lan?"
Heloise fell into silence upon hearing this.
"Although I am not a politician, I have heard about and experienced this kind of thing in the political arena. Many promises that sound serious are just seamless lies."
"I have seen too many people who swore an oath, but in the face of interests, they chose to break their promises without hesitation, and then expressed their grievances afterwards. All of this was just impulse, and this was not their original intention."
"Heloise" I said: "If I say that one day, you break your vow and use this matter to stimulate Xi Lan, what price do you think you should pay?"
"P-price?" Heloise looked ugly: "Why do you have to pay the price?"
"Although Xi Lan has not yet married me, our relationship has surpassed that of ordinary friends. Even if one day I really stimulate him with words, I just hope that he can do better."
“This is the crux of the problem,” I said, “Heloise, do you know why many partners who seemed to be very harmonious would have cracks or even fall apart after experiencing something seemingly trivial? "
"What you said is too exaggerated."
Heloise was not at all willing to admit the examples I gave.
"Don't try to avoid this problem," I said, "Heloise, as you have been dealing with high-level tasks in organizations all year round, you should have a good understanding of the mentality of those people and the decisions they will make. In order to achieve your ideals, you also In this process, I will continue to learn from their experiences and assimilate my thoughts with theirs. Although they may not be exactly the same in the end, the mere similarity will make it difficult for people to trust you."
"So in your mind, you already regard me as a liar who tells lies, is that right?"
Her tone became a little aggressive.
"No" I shook my head and said, "I only regard you as Xi Lan's little fan girl and my friend."
Sighing lightly, I continued: "If you want to know the story about Xi Lan, you can ask him in person. In this way, you will not make me and Xi Lan have a bad relationship, and you can also be sure that you are in Xi Lan's mind. status."
Heloise remained silent for a moment, indicating that she did not want to gamble.
I spread my hands and said I was helpless.
Then we both fell into silence.
When we chatted again, the topic had changed.
The changed topics were basically war-related.
Heloise asked me, will there be reinforcements from the Dragon Clan?
I didn't hide anything, and told her frankly that unless this group of dragon troops were defeated, there would never be another group of troops to replenish it.
Heloise was slightly dissatisfied with this answer.
I suddenly felt that Heloise's status in her family was not as bad as she said.
Generally speaking, if a person's life is unsatisfactory and remains in this state for a long time, the person will become inferior and easily satisfied.
But it is obvious that Heloise still retains the tsundere in her bones, and the storage capacity is quite large.
Perhaps in her opinion, anything that doesn't meet her expectations cannot satisfy her.
By the way, the dragons are not pets raised by the Oathkeepers, nor are they subordinates of the Oathkeepers. They have nothing to do with Heloise. It is impossible for her to say whatever she says.
So, I changed the subject and said: "Don't think about this for now. Let me ask you, how many adventurers did your Oathkeeper organization come to this time?"
"I added that there are only a few thousand."
"Thousands." I weighed the number and said, "It's not much."
"It doesn't sound like much, but these are hand-picked people."
"Carefully selected?" I asked curiously: "Are they all strong men with few opponents?"
"They are all strong. Well, yes, they are all strong. Although they have not reached the level of rare opponents, they can still compete with top-level adventurers."
"From what you say, this must be a group of adventurers with problems, right?"
"How could there be a problem?" Heloise hesitated: "They, they are also very powerful adventurers, and they are all elites in the organization."
"I feel more and more suspicious after hearing what you say." Staring at her with a wicked smile, I said, "Tell me, is there any hidden conspiracy in this?"
"Conspiracy? Where is it?"
Heloise looked around at him.
I sneered and said, "Even if you don't say it, I would never think that this is a group of normal elite adventurers, because when normal elite adventurers are dispatched, you won't have such an expression."
"Che" Heloise rolled her eyes: "You are quite observant. Yes, this is a group of adventurers with problems."
"Since he is a problematic adventurer, let me guess, is he a restless member of the organization?"
"Well, what you said is a bit superficial, but it's not really."
"Those are the unpopular guys?" I asked again.
"No, they are quite popular."
"What could that be?" I asked curiously.
"Speaking of which, these adventurers who were sent to the battlefield are all elites with good strength in the organization." Heloise said with a smile: "The reason why they were sent to the battlefield is entirely because they are very resistant to me. My father’s governing plan and openly spoke out against it.”
"In other words, these are a group of guys who disobeyed the supreme ruling party and were exiled?"
"That's right!" Heloise snapped her fingers and said, "That's it."
"I probably understand why you asked about dragon reinforcements. You want to take advantage of this war to recruit this group of adventurers to increase the strength of your side."
