Chapter 156 Border Leave
“We need a vacation.”
Given that his mission had been completed, Yiming did not want to rush back as soon as possible. Instead, he announced that the whole person would take a vacation when he stepped into the border of the Leah Empire. This was their own reward. Faced with this very irrational plan, Meallie and Icefish certainly agreed to pass unanimously, Aini abstained as usual, and Bellroga and Marien voted against it.
"We should return to Lily Flower City as soon as possible, Yi Ming. Since you two are summoned by the entire Academy Council this time, you should be more conscious."
"Anyway, they are not in a hurry. There is nothing wrong with letting us rest, right?"
Imin completely deafened his opinion on Marien.
"And isn't this good? You can stay with us for a few more days and don't have to go back to Azus in such a hurry. And, haven't Mailer and the others already gone back to report? Isn't it better to leave the general situation to them to tell?"
"I, I don't want to be with you!"
"There's really nothing to do."
Looking at Marien who turned her head with anger, Yiming shrugged helplessly.
(You made Miss Marian angry again.)
Mayalie looked at the speechless Yiming with a gentle smile.
"Can you? Why do I feel like she doesn't want to leave us that much, right?"
(Sometimes, even if you guess a girl’s mind, you have to pretend not to know. This is the elegant behavior that a gentleman should have.)
"Yes, yes, I'm just a vulgar person anyway."
Yi Ming looked around and found that this was just a small border town. It didn't look big now. Apart from the heavily guarded military camp, there were only houses in groups of three or three. Due to their destruction in the kingdom of Marco, the merchants who had originally passed through here have disappeared. This made the originally quiet town even more deserted, but this was a good thing for the garrison soldiers. At least they didn't have to worry about checking the past merchants and judging whether they would bring some dangerous goods into the country. If a problem is found, the entire border troops would be severely punished. As for those bloody adventurers, it was ignored. They just like to turn everything around them upside down. By the way, killing goblins and evil bandits to satisfy their endless vanity.
Of course, it is a good thing for the garrison troops. In addition to the possibility of leaving corpses everywhere, it is a bit unpleasant that adventurers can help them protect the tranquility and harmony of the border with free coolies. Moreover, blind cats encounter dead rats. And so they make great contributions, such as the low-level mercenary group three years ago. On the first mission, they found a half-bitten corpse in the forest. What's even more amazing is that they also had contact information from the king of a certain country and his spies on the body. Based on this information, the empire pulled out the entire spy network that was ambushed in China. Those who were born with a rookie who had never seen a crescent black bear looked like were actually received by Her Majesty the Queen, and they also had a very generous reward... Of course, this is one of these good things in a thousand years.
When Yiming and others entered the city, they were actually subjected to severe interrogation. After all, they entered the country from the Kingdom of Marco, and everyone knows what the Kingdom of Marco looks like recently. So these border guards did not dare to be careless. However, after Marian showed off the badge of the magician, their party was immediately released. After all, in the empire, in terms of status, the magician must be the most respectable candidate.
"Sir! All the sirs in front of you!"
Just as Yi Ming was about to decide on his next trip, a voice suddenly came from behind everyone. They turned their heads in surprise and saw a man wearing intermediate non-commissioned officer armor running towards them while waving his hands. He ran to Yi Ming and others, and then he stopped breathing. He first solemnly gave an emperor's tribute to everyone. Then he asked politely.
"Please forgive me for being rude... I am the commander of the Border Guard here. I just heard from the Border Guard. Do you have magicians among you?"
"Yes, is there anything wrong?" Yi Ming asked curiously, which made the chief relieved, and then he told Yi Ming and others in a very embarrassing manner.
It turned out that their military camp was stationed at the foot of a mountain. Because of the continuous heavy rains a few days ago, part of the landslide buried some camps this morning. Many of them were injured and buried. Just now, the chief magistrate who was about to dispatch people to rescue suddenly heard that among the people who had just entered the country, there was an imperial magician, so he rushed over immediately, hoping to get their assistance.
"No problem, please take me over immediately."
Marien looked at Yiming and then replied immediately. This made the Chief's originally serious face looser. He hurriedly smiled and expressed his gratitude to the other party, and then immediately took Marien to the direction of the military camp.
“Ice fish.”
"Dad, is there anything wrong?"
Hearing Yi Ming called his name, Bingyu looked up and asked in surprise.
"You go and help, use your abilities."
Yi Ming smiled relaxedly and said to the ice fish, which made the ice fish's originally calm expression freeze for 0:1 second.
"Dad? But..."
"Don't worry, it's just right for you to see the difference between Marco Kingdom and Yuria."
"………………I see."
Although Icefish was not very willing, she had never refused Yiming's instructions, so Icefish could only barely agree, and then turned around and ran towards Marien reluctantly.
(You did it on purpose.)
Meialie leaned lightly on Yiming's shoulder, gently stared at the back of the ice fish, and then asked.
"Since we will stay here for a long time, then the ice fish must be integrated into this world as soon as possible... The experience of the Marco Kingdom may cause considerable mental trauma to her. At this time, it is not easy to heal. Fortunately, Leah is obviously different from Marco. As long as you get used to the local dialect, the ice fish will be integrated into this place quickly."
This was exactly Yi Ming's plan. After all, Ice Fish's personality was not very outgoing and rarely showed emotions. After the time when I first met Yi Ming and Meallie, Ice Fish gradually returned to the restrained and calm attitude he used to be. But this also made it difficult for her to heal her inner trauma. Just as now, she still clearly kept a distance from others outside I Ming and Meallie and built a defense. Although Marien Aini didn't care about this, this personality was not a good thing.
"So. What should we do next?"
Yi Ming immediately threw the ice fish aside. After all, with Marian there, he didn't have to worry too much about the ice fish being in danger. Meialie held an umbrella in one hand and placed her fingers on her cheek, thinking while thinking.
(First. We need to find a clean hotel, I need to take a shower, then change my clothes. Then……)
"Then?"
Yi Ming looked at Mealli's almost spotless luxury dress and asked helplessly. Then Mealli showed him an elegant and perfect smile.
(It is also a gentleman's obligation to accompany women to go shopping?)
“………………………………………………………………………………
(Ah. Rejecting the invitation from a lady is not something that a graceful gentleman does, isn't it?)
"Yes, yes, okay, I surrender..."
Yi Ming surrendered cleanly and neatly, which was a very wise decision. Otherwise, in the next moment, he would have to face a series of education about gentlemen and elegant behaviors by Meyer. For Yi Ming, who could not stop communication of thoughts even if he blocked his ears, it was quite painful to be reeducated by Meyer. She could never tire of her from the history of gentlemen. Her behaviors and behaviors all the way to the meaning and representativeness of elegance itself. For Yi Ming, these things like heavenly books and earthly things are undoubtedly painful and lethal at the level of nuclear bombs.
So once Mealie raised the problem to the point of "elegance" and "gentlemanship", Yiming immediately gave up the unnecessary resistance.
"I just can't figure out why women always like shopping so much. In such an underdeveloped town, I really don't know what to visit or what you want to buy? I asked just now, and there seems to be no specialty here."
(Can you use it as a pastoral scenery? You can also take a leisurely walk.)
That's why I feel dangerous and fearful about the purposelessness of women shopping.
It was the right choice for Yi Ming not to let this sentence come out of his stomach.
Ice fish followed Marien closely and stared at her silently. After a while, she suddenly asked.
"Why are you going to help them?"
"Why?"
Marienro was stunned for a moment. After all, this was the first time Icefish talked to her. And Yiming and Meallie had explained to her before that Icefish had a tendency to be introverted due to her life experience that was not very good at telling others, so she hoped that she could understand more. For Marien, this girl was really strange, not inferior to Yiming and others' talent, so she did not mean to be too close to the other party. At this moment, hearing that Icefish would actually ask her questions, which surprised Marien.
"Why, this is what I should do."
"I thought the identity of a magician was very noble."
Icefish still looked calm and composed. Although her tone had changed a little, Marien didn't hear it at all.
"That's certainly, we magicians are from the upper class and naturally have noble identities."
Marien is quite proud of it.
"But you are willing to accept a soldier's request? I can't imagine."
"Is there anything strange about this?"
Marien didn't care at all about this.
"We are the magicians of the empire, so we naturally have to serve the empire. Not only on the battlefield, but we will certainly contribute to the situation where we need us. Magicians can not only play a role on the battlefield. It is precisely because we serve the empire and solve difficulties that are difficult for ordinary people to solve, so we magicians will gain a noble status and be respected."
Icefish fell into silence again, and when Marian saw that she stopped talking, she didn't say anything.
"It seems that it has arrived."
And at this moment, Bellroga's voice sounded from behind the two without warning.
Obviously, she followed her afterwards.
In front of everyone, the ruins of the military camp that were buried due to the landslide were also revealed. At this moment, the camp was in chaos, and there were wounded people and those responsible for transporting the wounded. The soil and huge rocks slid down, causing quite heavy losses under the hillside. Although some soldiers had begun to dig out the dead and injured people from the soil and ruins, their abilities were completely insufficient. At this moment, the ice fish noticed that the mountain was trembling slightly, and some tiny rolling stones were sliding down without much attention. A secondary landslide was about to occur."
Bingyu said calmly, which made Marien and the non-commissioned officer look at her in surprise. Obviously, they didn't understand what the word actually meant, but they heard the danger from it.
"You mean... there will be a second time like this?!"
"I think you'd better get out of here right away."
"How can this work!"
Faced with the suggestion of ice fish, the Chief Sgt.
"Then our soldiers are buried below!"
"But if this continues, more people will be buried. It was originally a very dangerous thing to carry out rescue during the dangerous period after a landslide."
"But……………"
Listening to the calm and ruthless analysis and explanation of Ice Fish, the Chief of Staff turned his helping eyes to Marian, and Marian stared at the hillside in front of him with a serious expression.
"Let me do it."
Then, she whispered.
Chapter completed!
