Rational discussion, who is the stupidest brother [Comprehensive British and American]

No one can shake Alfred's authority.

Under his insistence, and Clark and Dick all bowed their heads and ate cookies and pretended not to hear anything, Bruce raised his hand in surrender, turned around, and turned to the stairs leading to the second floor of the manor.

However, before going upstairs, Batman's disapproving eyes turned coldly around Clark and Dick.

"I'm going on night watch! Tim's already waiting for me!"

Clark jumped up from the sofa, and jumped out without saying a word, as if Titus (Batdog) was eagerly showing his sharp teeth behind his ass.

Oh!

It seems that he guessed right, very tricky!

Thinking so, Aum stretched out his hand again to the white porcelain plate containing the special cookies, intending to pick up another one.Dick's fancy compliments are not wrong at all, Alfred's cookies taste really good, but I don't know - Aum's eyes fluttered - unique skills, Alfred mind spreading the word?

and many more?

Aum suddenly froze, his hand to grab the cookie seemed to be empty?

Orm looked down.

Sure enough, the porcelain-white bottom of the plate that was supposed to hold the cookies was already exposed.

Where are the cookies? ? ?

Aum touched the bottom of the dish with his fingers inelegantly, and made sure that there were no cookies that were magically rendered invisible, and only a few cookies crumbs stuck to his fingertips.

Emmm—Aum thoughtfully rubbed the cookie crumbs on his fingertips. The white porcelain plate Alfred handed him contained a total of six fragrant and perfectly shaped cookies. After exchanging pleasantries, Fred tasted one piece, and after that, Bruce and Alfred picked up two pieces one after another. In theory, there should be three pieces left on the plate.

So, here comes the question, where did the three cookies go?

Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to be eaten by the white porcelain plate, so the most likely answer is only - Aum turned his head and looked to the side with a murderous look.

very good!

Case solved!

If it wasn't the stupid big man sitting next to him who stole the cookie, he would take his brother's surname!

His brother was still chewing with his mouth full!

His brother is still smiling at him? ? ?

Arthur didn't feel Aum's murderous intent at all, and even thought his younger brother looked super cute!He grinned, gave Aum a thumbs up, and said vaguely: "Aum, your cookies are indeed better than mine! That's what I thought when I smelled it. Sure enough, Alfred also like you very much!"

A look of "my brother is the best!" and proud.

"..."

Stealing the cookies and claiming that they are delicious?Because it's too delicious to steal? ?Where is the idiot, can he return the product? !

Aum inhaled and inhaled, resisting the urge to stuff the plate directly into his brother's mouth, put the plate upright and stuffed it directly into Arthur's arms, sprinkled the cookie crumbs all over him calmly, then got up, Gently and politely said to Alfred:

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, can you please take me to the guest room now? The taste of the cookies is amazing, just like its name, with a warm taste—"

Aum smiled a little embarrassedly, perfectly showing the image of a gentle and introverted little prince. Compared with him when he nailed the clown to the floor with a fork or when he confronted Bruce silently, he was a mess.

Dick silently took the last cookie and stuffed it into his mouth, hiding the corners of his mouth from twitching uncontrollably.

Oh ho!Aum's level of precision is probably worse than that of his father!

"—so, I kind of miss a comfortable bed," Aum said.

"Follow me, please." Alfred motioned Aum to follow him kindly.

As for Arthur, both Orm and Alfred believe that, having been to Wayne Manor many times, he must have a way to find a place to sleep.

***

Orm had insomnia, which was completely unexpected.

Maybe his brother would foolishly think that it was his "skillful" lobbying that moved Aum, and made the little prince who always hated the land nod and agree to the travel plan of brotherly love, time love.

But in fact, Aum has long been thinking about some issues, some issues related to the future of Atlantis.

His brother's proposal was exactly what he wanted.As for his brother's look of anticipation, it only accounted for so little that it didn't even have 0.0001% of the reason!

Little Prince Aum will never admit that he is soft on his silly brother!

For land travel, Aum has already been fully prepared psychologically, such as the unsuitable environment and unpalatable food, etc., but he really didn't expect that the first problem he encountered was insomnia?

Aum lay on the bed, clasped his hands in front of his lower abdomen, in a very standard sleeping position, and sighed faintly.

Mattress and quilt are soft.Although he has never flown into the sky, when he floated on the sea and looked up at the sky when he was a child, this is probably how he imagined clouds?

Soft, as if with a temperature that can iron people's hearts.

The temperature is completely different from that of Atlantis in the deep sea, and it has the magic power to make people want to sleep soundly.

Except, of course, the insomniac Little Prince of Om.

Quiet nights are suitable for thinking, and the soft touch under the body can help people calm their minds.

In this environment, Aum calmly began to think about some questions that had troubled him for a long time-is the opening of Atlantis really a good thing in the long run?

It has been a little more than three months since Arthur inherited the throne, a total of 98 days, Atlantis has announced their existence to the world with a ground-breaking gesture.

Curiosity, panic, surprise, precautions, and even... malice, olive branches, open and hidden arrows, all pointed at Atlantis.

Aum does not deny it, and of course he has not admitted it positively, but the rapid development of civilian technology brought by land to Atlantis has proved the necessity of being open and gaining advantages from others.

It should be known that a proposal on "National Internet Addiction Sustained Growth and Necessary Prevention of Related Health Problems" was delivered to his desk three days ago and has been approved.

Internet addiction, nothing can prove the correctness of introducing terrestrial civilian technology more than this.

There is no doubt that Aum is really not mocking or saying irony.

But openness means more than that.

His idiot king, who is not thoughtful enough, let alone politically sensitive, probably doesn't know how much malice they have kept outside the border in just a few months.

So far, Atlantis has established diplomatic relations with more than half of the land countries.How many of them came with peace in their arms, and how many of them had fear and plunder hidden in their eyes?

Arthur would probably never know how many thoughtful all-nighters he and Vico and Mera had spent over his command to make peace with the land.

The Prison of the Kingdom of Atlantis has never been so brightly lit.

Borrowing the Internet ridicule commonly used by land people, the hair he lost after staying up late, the silly brother probably won't be able to repay it in his life!

What's more, openness doesn't just mean land people entering Atlantis, but also Atlantis citizens walking on land.

As far as Aum knows, the citizens of Atlantis are as interested in the land as they are in the deep sea kingdom!It has only been two months since the application for land tourism was opened, and more than 5 Atlantis citizens have traveled to land!

This is when the Kingdom Office issued the strict "Administrative Measures for Land Tourism Application"!The infirm will not be approved, children will not be approved, and women and the elderly who are not accompanied by young and middle-aged men will not be approved.

Even so, they cannot stop their curiosity and enthusiasm for land tourism!

But the problem is...

Most Atlanteans must survive in water, and if they want to land, they must be equipped with life support equipment.

The life-support equipment is precisely their biggest weakness. If there are people on the mainland with malicious intentions, they only need to destroy their life-support equipment...

Aum sighed again, and decided not to stay on the bed like a stone in the trench, but to go downstairs to find a glass of water.

The savory and savory cookies are delicious, but the thirst afterwards is not what Om expected!

Before continuing to think about where to go in Atlantis, he must first satisfy his body's thirst for water.Otherwise, the ordinary citizens who went ashore would be alive and kicking, and he, the prince who can survive out of the water, would be the first... In short, such a dark history must never happen!

"That teapot is empty, Mr. Orm."

A voice suddenly sounded from the dark corner of the living room. Aum, who was picking up the teapot and wanted to pour himself a glass of water, shook his hands in fright, and threw the teapot out.

The sound of the teapot smashing will definitely wake up all the superheroes in Wayne Manor, and then you can gather a large crowd to watch the scene where the little prince of Atlantis sneaks out of the living room in the middle of the night!

Thinking of this, Aum shuddered, ignoring the research on the sound, and first flew towards the parabolically falling teapot, saving the life of the teapot just five centimeters from the floor. .

Aum breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound, and the living room became brightly lit in an instant.

Orm narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure with his hand still on the switch. It was... oh, it was Alfred in dressing gown.

Aum couldn't help but secretly blushed.

As a perfect housekeeper, Alfred found him who got up in the middle of the night to find water. This logic is indeed correct.But as a guest, being found sneaking around in the middle of the night...embarrassing!

"Please use, Mr. Orm."

Aum was stunned for a short time, and Alfred quickly prepared a pot of clean water with just the right temperature, poured out a glass and handed it to Aum.

"Oh? Oh! Thank you!"

Aum took the water glass, still a little dazed.

Alfred's next words caused Aum to choke the warm water he had just swallowed into his throat!An Atlantean choked on water!

What Alfred asked was: "Is there any problem that has been bothering you? If you don't mind, maybe you can talk to me, Mr. Orm. Maybe I can't give you much valuable advice, but live There will always be some special ideas and perceptions in my life experience at this age."

Talk to... Alfred...?

Aum hovered between heartbeat and hesitation.

Whether it is the former king of Aum or the current little prince of Aum, they are actually quite lonely.

With or without a brother, the burden of Atlantis rests on his shoulders, which are far less robust than his brother.He can discuss state affairs with Vico, ministers of other kingdoms, and even Mera who dislikes each other, but he can't tell anyone about his hidden inner hesitation.

The only brother who can tell... Whether you understand or not, you still have to say something!Don't mention it!

It might not be a wrong choice to chat with the sharp and wise Mr. Jia (zhang) of the Wayne family?And if you want to keep it a secret...

Aum had seventeen or eighteen thoughts in an instant, each of which was enough to make his brother have another "education of brother love".

Aum lifted the teacup to his mouth, took a sip, and confided to Alfred his hesitation and loneliness in the warm water of 40 degrees Celsius.

"Open and change?"

Alfred smiled, his wrinkled face was full of kindness.

"Oh, I always think that there is nothing in the world that cannot be changed. I still remember that when the young master was a child, the phone still needed a rotary dial, but now, it has entered the era of smart phones."

"Or, when I was young, I believed in fairy tales and believed that there must be a little beauty waiting to meet me in the sea. Later, when I grew up, I knew that fairy tales were just fairy tales, representing the beautiful dreams of human childhood, or The beautiful expectations of adults for childhood are not true.

Later, when I was taking care of my young master, I would read him bedtime stories and tell him that fairy tales may be fiction, but wishes and expectations are always good.

And now—”

Alfred shrugged and filled Orm's water glass.As the perfect steward, he will always get what those he serves want before they even ask.

"——Atlantis has established diplomatic relations with the United States. The seafood we eat every day comes from a magical country that is located on the sea floor, just like I saw in my dreams when I was a child. The concepts in countless sci-fi works have become reality. And I finally saw a real mermaid beyond my childhood dream."

"By the way, I love that mermaid singer Momad very much, the voice of heaven."

"I'm telling you—" Alfred suddenly winked at Aum lively and said, "—the calming song I used to deal with my master's insomnia is the work of the Mermaid Singer."

Om was surprised.

Mermaid singer?

Have citizens of Atlantis come to work on land?

He really doesn't know this!

"look--"

Alfred laughed again.

"The world will always have its own will. Compared with stagnation, moving forward may not be completely correct but definitely a better option. And change is often composed of countless details, just like what you didn't know before. Like the citizens of Lantis who came to work on land, most of the historical changes are accumulated by such small changes, and eventually become a huge change that changes the direction of history.”

Aum thought about it.

"You mean—history is moving forward, and no one can stop it?"

"No——" Alfred said word by word: "—I mean, history is made up of people, and your decision is destined to become a part of history. As for what may or may not appear Wrong, believe me, if you look at the entire history of the universe, there is no one decision that humans have made that is not stupid."

It seems that the problems he is thinking about are not necessarily accurate, but more likely stem from the fear of the unknown.

Orm mused.

The future of tens of millions of people in Atlantis may be in his mind.

Out of love comes fear.

That's probably why he'll never be able to live as simple and straightforward as Arthur.

But what Alfred said is not unreasonable, no matter whether it is right or wrong in the future, there must be a decision first, so that he can have the opportunity to take responsibility for this decision and the mistakes that may be caused by the decision.

Trying to hinder the progress of the wheel of history is the most ignorant and wrong decision, isn't it?

The author has something to say:

This chapter makes up for the word count owed to the little angels last Wednesday~ I feel great!

Today is too much drama.

The little prince Om is a smart and wise little prince. With or without Arthur, he can manage Atlantis in an orderly manner.

But Arthur brought about change, and that change made Orm realize that Atlantis needed change.But how to make Atlantis take the right choice at the fork in the reformation is the anxiety and fear of the little prince Aum.

Because he loves Atlantis, he is afraid that his decision will be the wrong choice.

The little prince needs to talk to soothe his mood and clear his mind.

In fact, only a little hint is needed, and the little prince can figure it out~ After the mentality changes, the little prince will be even better, the little prince!

So, thank you Alfred for staying up late to be a close grandpa!

Thank you Xieyang v. Little Angel for the mines~ Memoda!
