In the following days, the entire City of Life had peace and peace that had almost never been seen since its founding. Everyone was full of enthusiasm, and public security rose to an unprecedented level. After that performance, it seemed that everyone had a new understanding and emotion about the environment around them. The enthusiasm that had already lost returned to them again, allowing them to understand again that life is not just for survival, but also a kind of enjoyment.

Everyone hopes to be able to listen to Meallie's performance again, but for Meallie, that's just a pastime. Moreover, Marien also disagrees with her going out to respond to the people's requests at any time. Some things are extremely precious because they cannot get them. If Meallie wants to go out to play a song, then this is not worthwhile.

Talk about money...

Yi Ming's head started to hurt again.

"We got so much back, and then we could sell at least so much, and you told me that we could get at least so much."

His hands drew circles one after another in the air, and finally made a smooth ending.

"What's your problem now?"

"people."

Alinoa said frankly.

"In human society, orcs are not qualified to lead a mercenary group to negotiate transactions with humans. If you really plan to leave it to them to deal with this matter, then I think you can only get so much."

Perhaps because Yi Ming's relaxed and humorous expression made the atmosphere less solemn, Elinoa, who has always been serious, even reached out to draw a small circle to express it. This is also Yi Ming's habit. Even if the matter is serious, he will make some relaxing actions, at least to make people relax. In this way, sometimes people will not just be obsessed with it, but will have free time to think about other issues.

"And if you can't do it well, others may bite it back. It is said that Yuri stolen, and by that time, he will not be able to argue. And no one will plead for him. If we want to maintain the freedom of this mercenary group, then we will not be able to be his backer. Otherwise, once someone knows that Yuri's mercenary group has an official background, then all your plans will be ruined. Because since you will come forward for Yuri, it is undoubtedly to announce to all mercenaries that your behavior of not interfering in their exploration in the announcement is a lie. No mercenary will be willing to come here."

"I'll think about it."

Yi Ming was silent for a moment. He waved his hand and threw this difficult question aside, and then picked up the next motion.

“………If there is anything more troublesome than money, I’m afraid it’s this.”

In the next few days, Azus' prosperity rose to a new telling.

The followers selected by Lucia came to Azus City in batches and soon started their work. The order of the entire Azus City became more orderly. Several chambers of commerce even came here specially and signed many transaction contracts with the farmers to purchase magical plants and some fruits produced in the forest of life. The farmers made a lot of money, and the whole city looked more and more like a city. When they walked to the patrol site on the street, they were not only those tired soldiers, but more energetic talented warriors. The magicians worked in an orderly manner. Until now, Elinoa and Marian were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. They no longer had to deal with each other until very late to bed every day.

"By the way. This is for you."

While flipping through these reports, Yi Ming took out two crystal bottles from the cabinet of the desk and threw them over. **Elinoa and Marian took it curiously. After opening the bottle cap, a fragrance came to their noses, and even made people's brains wake up a lot.

"Sir, this is..."

"A caravan has arrived recently. Mayalie found that there is something called... Elf Tears. I heard it is very good for both the body and the throat, so we bought it and treat it as a thank you gift to you."

Speaking of this, Yi Ming raised his head and sincerely showed an apologetic smile to the two of them.

"Although it may be a bit too late to say now. But I still want to say to you on behalf of myself and Mayalie... Thank you. You have really helped us a lot. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to do this right now. Everything we have now is thanks to you, and I'm so grateful."

"Yiming, you..."

Marien lowered her head with a slightly red face, and even forgot the title she had finally added. She stared at the ground and quietly placed the things on her hands behind her. Marien never thought she was wronged. She knew very well that when the family was completely destroyed, she had to climb a strong enough tree. So when Yiming handed over these tasks to Marien, she had no intention of opposing it. Marien had to try hard to prove her worth to Yiming so that she could live safely here. As early as when the Undead Forest took the risk together, Marien knew very well that Yiming would never help her. Even beautiful women were no exception, so Ma

Lian worked very hard and even gave up the time he spent practicing magic on weekdays. He threw his whole body and mind on the construction of Azus City in order to make Yiming realize his own use. She was very, very scared. Once she lost her life here, what else could she have left? You know, although Marien is an intern and praising envoy and has almost reached a higher field, her other identity is still the daughter of a treason criminal. The Brad family has great power in the empire and has not offended others in the past. Now that Brad is dead, those people will definitely turn their attention to Marien. By that time, even if she is an intern and praising envoy? When did politics kill people? Wap.

So Marien knew very well that only with strength could she have everything.

But she never thought that she would get a reward.

Because she thought this was what she should do, she never expected that Yiming and Meyalie would express gratitude to her for this. In her opinion, this was a way to survive and she had to do it. So she never had such a luxury, but now, Marien's mood has been shaken. It is obvious that Yiming and Meyalie are not perfunctory. You should know that girls like a lot of things, from small accessories to clothes. But they chose such an elf tears that are inconspicuous on the outside but are just used to treat their bodies and throats. This shows that they have carefully selected and thought about it. It is this that makes Marien feel warm inside.

"Well... Lord Yiming."

Alinoa's expression was also a little dazed, but after all, she was from the army and quickly adjusted her mood and bowed to Yi Ming.

“This is what we should do.”

"I know, but I still have to say thank you."

Yi Ming flipped through the next documents casually. He was silent for a moment, and then handed over one of them.

"Don't come to me for this question.

"Why?"

Perhaps Yi Ming was surprised to say such irresponsible words in a flash. Both of them looked at him in surprise.

"Elinoa, you transfer this document to Yomira and tell her that the matters assigned to the college will be fully handed over to her."

"Is this OK?"

Neither of them was foolish. Just by hearing this sentence, I understood what Yiming meant. But Marien still raised questions.

"If you give your full authority to Miss Yomira, then our binding power on them will be reduced a lot. If we are to deal with it, then at least in the future, we will have absolute control over these magicians in the city of Azus."

“It’s not a good thing to have too much power.”

Yiming tapped the table gently and looked at Marien.

"And. It's not time now."

Since Yiming had made the decision, Elinoa didn't say anything. She just took the document, gave a light salute, and turned away. After Yiming watched Elinoa leave, she shrugged and turned to Marien who was about to say goodbye to herself.

"Don't leave now, I have something I want to talk to you alone."

"…………I? Lord Yiming, what's wrong with you?"

"It's this." "This?"

Yiming stretched out a finger and went forward, while Marien looked at him in confusion, wondering what was going on.

"Why do you call me Master? Didn't you call me directly by my name before? Mayalie has been complaining, now you don't call her Miss Mayalie, but call her Master Mayalie.

"This...this...this...this...this...this...this...this's the best way to do it."

Marien's expression was a little awkward, but it quickly returned to normal.

"This is a must. Your identity is higher than mine, so I must call the two people by honorary title. This is the etiquette I should have as a subordinate."

"But Meyalie and I just regard you as companions."

Yi Ming deliberately emphasized the word "companion", and then he focused on Marian.

"I know what you are thinking, and I know what you want now. Well... I must admit that your ideas are understandable, and as a leader, I must assume the responsibilities and obligations of protecting my subordinates. You don't owe us anything. Of course, you can find your own goals, which is something worthy of peace of mind for us. After all, we..." Yiming did not continue to say it, and Marien also understood his meaning.

"Anyway, in the absence of outsiders, Meyalie and I hope that you can still call us like before. After all, we are not just superiors and subordinates, but also companions. And I promise you that unless you are willing to leave, I will not drive you away. You don't have to worry about the trouble that your identity may cause. Since you have done so much for us, we also have the obligation to repay. I will talk to her on the side of Elinoa. Do you have any questions? Or do you have any wishes?"

"Then, Yiming..."

Marien bit her lip tightly, and she held the crystal bottle in her hand tightly. What did she hope to get? What wishes did she have? Marien had already known this.

"Can I……..."

"Um?"

Just the moment before the words were about to go, Marien finally gave up.

"No... nothing. I'm very satisfied with being able to live my current life. Thank you, Yiming. I will also express my gratitude to Miss Mayali."

As she said that, Marien bowed slightly to Yiming, then turned around and left the study. It was not until she closed the thick door that she leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh.

What are you thinking?

Marien shook her head in shame.

She knew that Meyari's position in Yiming's mind was unshakable. She had never expected to share anything from Yiming, but Marian knew very well that her feelings for Yiming. At first, she was just angry at a young boy who was ungrateful, but then she was extremely cold and fearful of him. Then she felt Yiming's tenderness and carefulness, and the warmth he protected for his companions. Marian knew very well that she fell in love with Yiming. She also understood that Yiming had no special feelings for him, but he was a nobleman. If possible, Marian

I have always hoped to dedicate myself to Yiming and become his lover or concubine. After all, in this world, it is very normal for a successful man to have several concubines. Marian has always hoped that she could work hard in this regard. Of course, she also understood that challenging Mealee's status is completely impossible and unscrupulous. However, this is also the only response that a girl can make, rather than the reward made by being a "useful political talent". The former is a person, and the latter is just a talented "item".

But in the end, Marien gave up.

"What am I thinking... Forget it..."

Marien smiled bitterly, she shook her head helplessly, then turned and left.

At this time, Yi Ming, who had been sitting in the study, finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his head.

"Luckily she didn't say it."

He played with the quill in his hand, and said to himself with a helpless and bitter smile.

Yiming didn't hate Marien. Maybe he used to think Marien was a proud woman, but after that, her series of changes were also seen by Yiming. His sincerity to his friends, his love for his father, his helplessness and confusion after being betrayed, his despair of being unable to survive, and the survival goal she found in the end. Yiming also did not think she was an annoying girl at first. However, after all, he did not grow up in this world. Yiming thought he was not so casual about accepting other women, and he already had Meyali.

In the original world, Yi Ming was not very worried about this problem. Most women in that world were already accustomed to monogamy, so when Meyalie was by his side, he could always easily get rid of other women. After all, no one among them was willing to surrender to others. But in this world, it was obviously different. The thing that made Yi Ming the most headache was that like Marian, he seemed to have no idea about surrender to others, monopoly, and positioned himself in the position of serving.

In fact, after Yi Ming said it casually, he regretted it.

For women, the most troublesome thing is not rejection. As long as you say, "I only love her and cannot hold someone else's position." Then the other party will basically give up. But the most troublesome thing is that after rejection, once the other party says, "I don't care, as long as you are willing to accept me."

Then things will be tricky.

Fortunately, Marien stopped his horse and also breathed a sigh of relief.

but…………

He leaned back on the back of the chair and stared at the ceiling helplessly.
