I really only stop

Seemingly surprised to be asked this question, Harris shook his head mockingly:

"Now that you have satisfactorily resolved the incident with zero sacrifice, no matter how thick-skinned the old man is, he can't say 'this is a [noble] sin of sacrificing for the sake of everyone'. Let the old man simply admit it , about your own incompetence and... the [great cause] you have made."

With Lu Xi and others saving everything without even sacrificing Qianqian, Harris' previous arguments of "this is a sacrifice that cannot be made" and "I am willing to bear this sin alone" have long since disappeared. Self-defeating.The hints imposed in his heart to avoid guilt collapsed, and now Harris is just a purely incompetent leader.

"Yes, you did something wrong. Before I met Lucy, I did something wrong too—but the mistake is not where you imagined."

To Harris' surprise, after listening to his words, Broca actually said:

"Mistakes are relative to correct understanding. Assuming that there is no Lu Xi and everyone, the choice you made at the beginning was indeed [There is no way to do it]. In the face of a powerful and frightening sealed item, apart from sacrificing In addition, there is no other coping strategy. Your real mistake is actually treating Qianqian as an item or a tool, completely ignoring her own mood—and this is also my mistake."

"..."

After being silent for a while, Harris hooked the corner of his mouth at Broca with difficulty:

"The old man admits his sins, but it doesn't mean that he thinks he has done something wrong. You are still very young if you want to teach the old man the truth."

"【but】."

Having said that, Harris raised his eyes and looked at the Broca brothers and sisters meaningfully:

"What you learn from this incident is your business. If you feel that you have done something wrong, you can accept it and correct it - there is nothing to be embarrassed about. This is how everyone grows."

This is... the meaning of asking me to treat Qianqian well in the future?

After reading what he wanted to tell himself from Harris' eyes, Broca was silent for a while, and nodded firmly:

"……I will."

----------------

As if he had figured something out, after witnessing the lifting of the seal crisis, Harris' attitude was very cooperative.He took the initiative to confess everything to the other clansmen while being restrained, and explained the fact that the shadow sun had been permanently extinguished and the secret realm was no longer suitable for living.

After doing all this, he appointed Broca as the temporary leader of the secret realm, and he walked into the prison calmly.

Perhaps as Broca said, without Lu Xi, what Harris did was cruel but correct.But when Lu Xi solved the incident perfectly, he who was thinking of sacrificing something was undoubtedly a loser and a sinner—it was very dramatic, but also very realistic.

Going into prison is also his own choice, and for everyone, this is the best ending.

"Qianqian...she is still not used to getting along with everyone."

Sitting by the bonfire, Broca stared straight at Qianqian, who was overwhelmed by the people who kept talking to him and bowed to apologize, and silently sipped his wine:

"If there is a brother ranking list in the world, I am definitely the most incompetent brother."

In the past, Broca has been struggling between his parents' last words, the fate of the secret realm, and his responsibilities as an older brother.He couldn't fully open his heart to his sister, even if she grabbed her collar and asked tearfully, "Is Qianqian annoying?" ', I couldn't give her a warm hug.

"Any change takes time."

After clinking glasses with the little brother vigorously, Lu Xi patted the latter's shoulder carelessly:

"Compared to the stubbornness when we first met, Qianqian now has a lot more confidence. Not only her, but even your life still has a long way to go-after all, isn't that what growing up is all about? what?"

"...Well, that's right."

Nodding silently, the little brother fixedly stared at Lu Xi, and said in a very solemn tone:

"Lu Xi, thank you very much this time. Without you, I can't imagine how I would feel now—according to the rules of the Cangying Clan, I, Broca, will be—"

"—Don't! Everyone has only one life, and it's not something that can be sacrificed or gifted at will. After going through all this, you should understand this."

Pushing away the seriously paralyzed boy with a look of disgust, Lu Xi stuffed a piece of roasted vegetables into his mouth:

"So? After this incident, where are you going to take your people?"

"The Hidden Shadow Secret Realm is obviously not suitable for a group of people to live for a long time. If there is no accident, we should find a place to live in the Monster Forest after we arrange special personnel to provide supplies for the Tutu Rabbits."

Speaking of this, the younger brother's tone seemed a little dull:

"...This process must be very difficult. There are still many powerful and unknown races in the forest of monsters. It may be more difficult than imagined to open up a residence there."

Although all members of the Cangying clan are good hunters with shadow skills, construction is not their specialty.The technique of setting up tents in the wild mastered by the little brother is actually considered a superb level among the Cangying clan.

As for going to the human side and fully integrating into the life of the outside world, the little brother chose to give up temporarily after careful consideration.

Most members of the Cangying clan have been isolated from the outside world for too long. They have shadow skills and strong fighting abilities, one or two are fine. Once they are all exposed to the eyes of the outside world, they will definitely be coveted or even divided. , For my little brother, this is the last development I want to see.

However, as mentioned earlier, living in the Monster Forest is not necessarily much easier than living in the city.It is a huge problem just to be alert to the monsters that come while sleeping——

"——So, I seem to know a place where I can live for you."

Just when the little brother fell into pessimistic predictions about the future, Lu Xi seemingly inadvertently said a piece of information:

"With a big house, infrastructure, and abundant supplies, not only will it not be disturbed by the outside world, but the employment and people's livelihood security will explode."

"Really, really?!"

Surprised that he even dropped the wine bottle in his hand, Broca instantly stood up from the spot and looked at Lu Xi excitedly:

"Please tell us!"

"Well, of course, we are good brothers after all~"

Pulling the excited little brother to do it again by the bonfire, for some reason, under the cover of the flames, Lu Xi's smile seemed a little weird for no reason:

"Come on, let me tell you slowly—"

PS: Nova is ecstatic.

PS2: It's almost the end of the month, and today is another two big chapters (hint) (→)

Chapter 271 May I Not Enter Ultimate Bliss

"[Sky City Osiris]..."

After listening to Lu Xi's extravagant propaganda seriously, the little brother who had never seen the world showed a hint of shock in his eyes:

"Unexpectedly, there is such a magical place in this world. Alchemy alone can surpass the sky. Even the most daring myths dare not write like this."

"Hey, that means the entrance to your secret realm is too small. Otherwise, if you just pull that ultra-high-heat body annihilation cannon and blast it at the giant crater, you still need to go to the trouble of finding a rabbit."

Pretending to be indifferent, Lu Xi took a sip of his wine, deliberately not looking at his brother.He knew that the extremely perceptive little brother must have understood what he implied in his words.

"[Pull to blast a cannon]..."

After pondering Lu Xi's words carefully for a while, Broca's ears perked up in surprise:

"Then, that Sky City...wouldn't be yours, Lu Xi?"

"exactly."

Seeing that the little brother understood, Lu Xi pressed the commander beacon on his finger, and a silver-white virtual light curtain appeared in front of the two of them out of thin air, which was the overview map of Osiris:

"I am not talented. I just took office as the chairman of Osiris a few days ago. As its supreme commander, I sincerely invite everyone from the Tibetan Shadow Clan to join our collective~"

This this!

Staring blankly at Lu Xi who jokingly bowed to him, Broca felt his throat dry for a while, and couldn't even utter a single syllable.

Not only saved Qianqian, but also helped us solve the problem of sealed items, and now he proposes that he owns an unimaginable sky city and invites us who are homeless to live? !

Is Lu Xi the savior sent by heaven to save the Cangying clan? ?This one-stop service is simply too professional!

The little brother who is not good at words by nature can't think of any gorgeous words to express his gratitude. He just stared at Lu Xi for a few seconds, and then nodded slightly when the latter was stared at, and said softly. solemnly said:

"It's an honor for my family."

"Then it's a deal~"

Lu Xi happily clinked a glass with Broca.

------------

New population get~

After making arrangements with Nova through the commander beacon, Lu Xi fell down on the bed contentedly after listening to the sweet flattery from the AI ​​girl.

Perhaps it is because of the restriction of the secret realm.The population of the Zangying clan is not large, even smaller than the average small village on the earth, and dividing them into the vast living area of ​​Osiris does not even use the resources of a single street.But even such a small population is enough for the crazy AI girl who wants to increase the number of residents to sing happily to Lu Xi.

After nearly [-] years of restoration and accumulation, the resources of Osiris are definitely in a state of super excess.As the control center, Nova offered generous living conditions to these new residents. It is no exaggeration to say that they are guaranteed from birth to education, employment to pension, even if they are lazy people who know nothing. The kind that can live comfortably for a lifetime.

Nova is so generous, the residents will be spoiled by her!

For Lu Xi, inviting the Cangying family to live here is not only a small favor for friends, but also a little selfishness.

The first is to get rid of the harassing letters that Nova sends from time to time [urging items - Isis agreement].Before receiving new residents this time, this crumb AI tried every means to try to make the only resident—that is, Lucy—beget an heir, including but not limited to verbal temptation, physical temptation, and pop-up love action movies from time to time. Benign stimulus.

Although these movies from Osiris ten thousand years ago can be regarded as top-notch masterpieces, no one can stand being urged to have a baby every day.

As for the second point, it is what he said to his brother before.

The details of the opening of the Osiris Trial Tower to human adventurers are still being discussed with the guild, but the Zangying clan can obviously experience it first.

As mentioned before, the subjects' battles in the trial tower can produce a lot of useful materials, whether they choose to store or trade, it is good for Lu Xi.

From Broca's point of view, having such a training place where he can practice his combat skills at any time without fear of injury or even death is a good thing that can't be found with a lantern. Naturally, both sides are happy.

Just in case, reliable candidates who stay here to supply [Blood Meat Ball Zero Seven] to the Chutu rabbits have also been selected, and two groups of people will take turns to feed the rabbits every three months, even if there is too much to waste. At all costs, we strive to minimize the risk of accidents.

As for now, it is the last night of the Zangying family staying in this place where their ancestors lived for generations.Some people feel sad, and some people feel hopeful. In any case, a new life awaits them outside.I think that the Rhine City Guild will receive a lot of applications from adventurers soon.

...Sleep, this day is really tiring.

Thinking about it, Lu Xi closed his eyes.

--------------

In Celica's room.

A cluster of black flames suddenly ignited from the right arm of Celica, who was sleeping soundly. It was different from the black flames displayed by [Flame Color Changing Technique], this black flame was extremely quiet and deep, as if it condensed the world All power is as beautiful as it is, and it burns proudly, overlooking everything in the world with the aloofness of King's Landing.

After adapting to the outside environment, Hei Yan connected one end to Celica's right arm, and the other end flew leisurely towards the window.The dark secret realm that lost the shadow sun provided the best cover for this black flame, and even the most skilled hidden shadow hunters did not find its trace.

Hei Yan flew to the upper part of the deep pit, and without the slightest hesitation, it swooped down at an incredible speed, and so easily reached the bottom of the deep pit that Lu Xi and others couldn't even hope to reach.

In the world of pitch-black pits beyond sight, there exists only boundless darkness.The act of blinking doesn't make any sense here, because there isn't a ray of light coming here from the outside world.

After floating quietly for a while, a sentence suddenly came out from the small cluster of black flames:

【...To be able to come up with such an interesting method, you really deserve to be a son of man. 】

The next moment, the black flames suddenly rose, and a [perfect] mature body that surpassed all common sense in the world came out of the black flames. Although the sensitive parts were blocked by a piece of black dragon scales, it made this person even more vulnerable. A female adds endless allure.

If Lu Xi saw this scene at this moment, he would be so surprised that even his eyeballs would drop.

The mysterious woman who is as mature as a peach and exudes a charm that surpasses the succubus in front of her eyes - unexpectedly looks somewhat similar to Celica!

Stretching out her hands to support the heavy pair on her chest, the mysterious woman looked up at the unreachable hole above, and suddenly smiled:

"That's right, I'm Celica~"

"..."

Naturally, this remark received no response.And Celica (?) also shrugged her shoulders indifferently, and gently pushed away the rabbit fur ball that was arched to her feet.

"It seems that the limit you set for the suppression of the shadow sun can only be limited to this."

……

"Thinking about it carefully, the reason why the priest named Harris became so strange, is it also affected by it? No matter how smart the Son of Man is, he would not confuse the words of [sin] with Sebastian Let's get in touch with Lika's child's second grade."

It's poor, but that's all.

Despite the darkness surrounding her, Celica (?) spoke softly:

"Then, it's time to get this power back...or in other words, it's more appropriate to [snatch it]?"

As the slender hand stretched out, the dark place suddenly became darker. When Celica (?) retracted her hand, there was already a pure black apple in her hand.

The moment the apple appeared, thousands of serious eyes suddenly lit up at the bottom of the cave, which was originally extremely quiet.Countless heroic souls of the ancestors of the shadow wolves returned in the river Styx, and roared silently to the person who dared to take away the [Shadow].

【——! ! 】

An incomparably powerful aura erupted from the surroundings in an instant, and those with weak minds would be frightened by the stares of these shadow wolves and heroic souls in an instant.Each of them has the strength not to lose to A-level adventurers. Although their bodies have rotted, their high fighting will and noble warrior spirit are still not compromised.

Undoubtedly, this is an army of undead who returned from the abyss, and came back to the world for the only belief.

However, facing the terrifying collection of heroic souls around her, Celica (?) just glanced at it plainly, with a faint golden light in her eyes:

"【Eternal sleep】."

The black flames rose suddenly, and that army of heroic souls that could cause an uproar anywhere in the world didn't even have the ability to resist, so it easily disappeared into the invisible.

"Sacrificing so many 'holders', taking a family for thousands of years, what is finally condensed is nothing more than this kind of thing."
