Chapter 999 A Group of Guys Who Have Made No Progress

Emily said calmly: "Yes, it's confidential."

When I heard the answer, I was shocked: "Huh? You told me the secret! I didn't hear anything, don't kill me to silence me!"

With an imperceptible faint smile on her lips, Emily said: "If you want to avoid being silenced, you have to agree to one thing."

I instantly became energetic and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

She turned to me, looked at me for a few seconds, and said, "I'll tell you when I think about it."

A woman, no matter how cold or indifferent she is, will always reveal a moment of cunning inadvertently.

And this little cunning is often fascinating.

At that moment, my heartbeat suddenly accelerated and my breathing almost became disordered.

This feeling only happened once - the first time I met Phoenix.

Resisting the urge to blush, I cleared my throat to relieve the embarrassment in my heart: "Um... Lilea told me about this matter yesterday."

Emily said lightly: "Oh."

"She told me that at that time she was only acting according to the orders of the high-level elves. As for other things, she didn't seem to be very clear about it."

"I know," Emily said lightly: "The high-level elves always just give orders and never explain the reasons or give any explanation."

"It seems that it's not just the high-level elves." I spread my hands: "It seems that the high-level officials in all towns are the same."

Emily glanced at me and said, "You're right."

I curled my lips and said, "I don't think it would be good for us to just stroll around and talk bad about the higher-ups."

"It's not good," Emily said.

"How about we change the topic?"

Emily said calmly: "Okay."

"Have you ever thought about what you will do next if the suggestion you submitted to have a good talk with Cecil is not adopted?"

Emily shook her head: "If you don't want to adopt it, then say no, just put forward the suggestion first."

"Is this okay?" I looked at her and saw that she had no reaction, so I continued: "As the saying goes, 'Be prepared for any disaster'. If you have prepared countermeasures in advance, even if there is an accident, you will not panic."

Emily shook her head again: "No need, I believe Her Majesty the Queen's decision must be the wisest."

"What you said sounds a bit like blind worship."

"Maybe," Emily said: "After all, she is the person I am loyal to."

I seem to have heard something similar to this last sentence somewhere.

After much deliberation, I still couldn't find the answer. When I passed by Ren's house, I suddenly remembered: Isn't this what Ren said to me before?

It seems that Ren's allegiance to me and Emily's allegiance to the Elf Queen are consistent.

Thinking of this, an impulse surged in my heart.

After sending Emily home, I quickly came to the door of Ren's house, knocked on the door a few times, and the door opened.

After entering the door, the hall was brightly lit, and Ren was giving lessons to several elf apprentices.

I winked at him, and Ren stood up and followed me out.

When I came to the darker corner behind his house, I asked Ren, "I need to ask you for help with something."

Ren nodded: "What's the matter?"

"Let me ask you a question. Please answer it truthfully."

"good."

"Let me ask you, under what circumstances might you betray me?"

After hearing this question, Ren frowned slightly. He thought for a moment and said, "When you betray your own will."

I pondered for a moment and said: "My own will. Do you mean that if I give up the establishment of the Dewey Empire, you will betray me?"

Ren shook his head and said: "This has nothing to do with the establishment of the Dewey Empire. What I mean is that when you give up your will to survive in this world and become depressed and compromise, I will not hesitate. Betray you."

"I see, I understand." I nodded and asked, "One more question, if you have a very good friend and he wants you to do something for him that I object to, what would you do?"

Ren said without hesitation: "I will resolutely obey your orders."

"If you obey my order, it will delay your friend's plan and cause you to lose this friend. What will you do?"

"Still resolutely obey your orders," Ren said, "Assassins don't need friends."

After listening, I smiled slightly: "Okay, I understand, thank you."

"You're welcome."

After leaving Ren's house, I fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

During the conversation with Renn, I almost guessed Emily's attitude towards the Elf Queen, which is to resolutely obey any order.

But only in terms of friends, I don’t know how Emily will answer. After all, she is only the president of the Rose Legion, not an assassin.

Since he is not an assassin, he always needs friends.

So, I decided to find an opportunity to test her in the future.

When I got home, I took a shower, changed my clothes, lay down on the sofa, and stared at the ceiling. I vaguely remembered that I seemed to have made a decision to come here before I came back. Why the hell can’t I remember it? ?

I rubbed my hair in distress, but I still couldn't remember it. In the end, I had no choice but to sigh and go to sleep.

Ordinary days passed by quite quickly. In the blink of an eye, a week passed by.

Sitting at home, flipping through the ability value tables of everyone except Mr. Taylor and Princess Analita, I felt waves of sadness wash over me.

A whole week. A whole week! Everyone's experience value has only increased by a small amount! There is almost no change in the various attribute values ​​​​of the body! What is this damn thing for? If we continue in this state, when it comes to the Zephyr Championship, we won't have to play. Anyway, we will lose if we play, so we might as well just abstain.

Covering face with helplessness

Fenghuang sat next to me, sorting out the ability value tables that I had thrown across the coffee table one by one. When she saw her own ability value table, she beamed with joy: "Hey, Xiaoyi, look, My strength has increased a lot~"

I smiled bitterly: "Congratulations."

Phoenix tilted his little head and asked me, "Xiao Yi, you seem very unhappy?"

"Yeah, can I be happy?" I sighed and spread out the ability value tables one by one on the coffee table: "Look, this is everyone's strength improvement during this period. In addition to experience points, all items There is almost no substantial change in ability levels. Look at this, this, and this. The ability values ​​of these people have not improved at all! If this continues, how can we obtain good results in the Zephyr Competition? !”

"Okay." Phoenix stroked my hair as if stroking a child: "Don't be anxious, calm down the fire, everyone is working hard. Besides, the main point of the Zephyr Competition is to participate~"
