Unspeakable bubbles

"Who are you? I've never seen you before," Andy asked as he walked to a spot that was neither too close nor too far away.

"I've always been here, I just didn't want you to see me before."

"Oh? So why did you change your mind now?" Andy asked with great interest.

"Because you did something unexpected."

The old man put down the scissors and looked at Andy very seriously: "Why make the existence of the Undying Warriors public? It's far too early. There's still a long time before the Black Tide erupts."

Andy's eyes twitched. After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't immediately order the guards to take the suspicious guy away.

"I could certainly use the immense pressure on the eve of the Black Tide's attack on my territory to force my people to accept the existence of the Undead Warriors, but people's hearts can change."

“I don’t want to be forced into this situation; I want Robin and the others to be genuinely accepted by everyone.”

Andy was telling the truth; once the "unavoidable" period is over, things will return to their original course.

In the end, I haven't changed anything, so what's the point of this "unavoidable" situation?

The old man looked thoughtful, a slight smile appearing on his face.

“The idea is good, but your current situation is terrible. If things go wrong, a popular uprising is possible.”

Andy nodded expressionlessly. "I've done my best."

“Hmm, I think you’re missing a certain kind of person around you, sir,” the old gardener suddenly said.

"who?"

"Someone who can offer you advice and solutions."

Andy chuckled: "Are you referring to yourself?"

“Why not?” the old gardener said frankly.

"...Then I'll leave it to you."

After thinking it over, Andy readily agreed.

'Since I can't think of any solutions myself, it might not hurt to let him try. Besides... I have a feeling this old guy is no ordinary person!'

“Sir, now that I am your advisor, I must point out one thing.” The old gardener quickly got into character and immediately began to fulfill his duties.

"It is a whimsical and naive idea to expect everyone in the territory to accept Robin and his companions."

"Uh"

Ignoring the lord's embarrassed expression, the old gardener spoke eloquently: "How many people are there in the territory? How many different ideas are there among them? Even within a single family, opinions may not be unified, let alone when the scope is expanded to Carmen's territory."

Andy sensed that the guy was implying something, and he immediately thought of the woman's incessant chatter not long ago.

“However,” the old gardener changed the subject, “why do you insist that everyone accept Robin and the others?”

"On the other hand, what Robin and the others wanted to protect, and what they cared about, was not the general population of 'Carmen Territory'."

Andy was stunned, and then his thoughts suddenly became clear!

Yeah, why care what those clueless strangers think? The most important thing is...

“Their family!” Andy blurted out.

"exactly."

Seeing Andy's quick reaction, the old gardener nodded with some satisfaction.

"Their family and friends are the people they would sacrifice themselves to protect!"

"That's right, yes, that makes it much simpler."

Andy's face lit up, and he said quickly, "Making their families think of them as heroes is troublesome, but, upon closer inspection, it's not actually that difficult!"

"You need to go in person," the old gardener reminded him.

"Of course!"

Seeing that Andy was already impatient, the old gardener suggested, "Why don't we start with Robin's family? He's the captain of the bodyguard and has always been loyal, so he can set a good example."

"Okay, let's go!"

"dong dong"

"dong dong"

In the dead of night, the gates of the Marquis's mansion were being pounded on.

"Here I am!"

With a spirited response, the little girl opened the door, protected by the skeletons.

"Hello"

Bubble looked up at the man in front of her. "Is there something you need?"

The young man waved the sign in his hand, "I'm the kind person who saved you from this predicament."

The man's frivolous smile displeased Robin, and his pale face and dark red coat made him seem like a bad guy at first glance.

With a whoosh, Skull Robin placed a knife against the neck of the sinister-looking young man.

"Captain Robin has a terrible temper. The guys outside don't have such a fiery temper."

The man shrugged and pointed to the densely packed skeletons standing at attention outside the Marquis's mansion.

"Oh, please come in. It's the kind uncle who's here."

The little girl looked delighted and patted Robin on the shoulder: "Quickly put down the knife! He's a kind person who came especially to help Bubble out of his predicament!"

Seeing that Bubble said so, the man nodded with satisfaction.

"What a polite young lady, much better than that other guy who appears virtuous on the surface but is actually selfish."

"Hey, you want me to help him? Don't even think about it!"

"Little girl?" Bubble smiled, her eyes narrowing.

After so many days, someone finally calls me "little girl"!

Section 154, Chapter 153: Entrance

"I'm Bubble, what's your name?"

The little girl rarely encountered someone she could communicate with normally. Instead of immediately asking how to deal with the kingdom's siege, she asked for the man's name.

"name......"

He hesitated, then revealed a rare look of unease.

"I don't have a name yet, but I will definitely have one in the future!"

"Well, for now, you can call me strategist," the man said after a moment's thought.

The little girl readily agreed: "Oh, Uncle Strategist, what should Bubble do next?"

"Your predicament is simply that the enemy is strong and you are weak, and you cannot cope with the encirclement and suppression by the Kingdom's army."

The man pointed out the key point: "It's actually very simple. Just make good use of the characteristics of this immortal army and become stronger than the enemy."

Before Bubble could speak, Robin made a 'kaba kaba' sound.

It extended its middle finger at the man, its contempt palpable.

"Haha, I didn't know you were so funny back then."

The man didn't care at all; instead, he burst into laughter.

"Let me guess what you're trying to say."

"The Reincarnation Elixir has run out, and the number of the Undead Legion cannot be increased?"

"Sunlight will greatly weaken the legion's combat power, making it impossible to deal with the kingdom's army during the day?"

"Oh, that's all getting back to the point. What you're really concerned about right now is how to settle those extra 'compatriots' outside, right? You can't bear to see them struggling under the scorching sun."

"Hahahaha!"

Robin's middle finger froze in mid-air, staring at the man, motionless.

"Does the strategist have any good ideas?" Bubble asked expectantly.

"Of course, as I said at the beginning, if we make good use of the characteristics of the Undead Legion, then no problem will be a problem."

The man looked at the bubbles and gave a strange smile: "Do you know where they came from?"

'They' naturally refers to Robin and other immortal warriors.

Bubble thought for a moment and replied, "It came out of the pool!"

"Uh"

The man was momentarily speechless, then pretended not to hear Bubble's reply and said casually, "In order to deal with the Black Tide, Carmen made a deal with a terrifying being in the Chaos and obtained the method for creating the prototype of the Undead Legion."

"The Undead Legion is the nemesis of the living, the embodiment of destruction."

"The reason you think they're not that powerful is because this legion has only just been formed; they need time to grow."

“Bubble thinks Robin and the others are really amazing,” the little girl interjected.

"Hmm, then they can be even more powerful!"

"But, but we don't have enough people here, and all the water in the pool has been drained, so we can't conjure up any more companions."

Bubble thinks this is a big problem. Even if Robin and the others become very powerful, they won't be able to handle too many bad guys.

"You want to increase the number of the Undead Legion?"

"hey-hey"

The man grinned at Robin. "Captain Robin, that's really unfair of you. Can't you see your master is troubled? You're still hiding things at a time like this?"

Without a second thought, Robin slashed at the man with her sword!

"Oh my god, there's a skeleton trying to kill me to cover it up."
