It's normal for an evil god to raise an Abyss.

Gray Rock Skin said this in a slightly heavier tone, as if blaming him.

Xueyue understood the source of Gray Rock Skin's attitude. After all, this was the headquarters of the Guardian Wing Army, a strategic military location. It was inappropriate for a young lady who looked like an aristocrat to run around everywhere.

"I came here prepared to be scolded. Apart from my uncle, I have no one else to turn to."

The girl from the Wolf Clan named Fei'er said this in a calm and rhythmic tone, and handed over the thing in her hand.

"This is?"

What Fei'er handed over was an opened letter.

Gray Rock Skin raised his eyebrows. Although he had no eyebrows, he did feel that way.

"What happened?"

Gray Rock Skin took the letter, unfolded it and asked.

"Someone sent a letter saying, 'If you don't cancel the ceremony next weekend, I will assassinate your father.'"

Hearing Fei'er say the dangerous word "assassination", Xueyue shifted her gaze slightly.

"My father is the mayor of this city. He proposed a policy of coexistence and prosperity among all races. I know many people will be dissatisfied with this, but I didn't expect that they would use such despicable and shameless means to erase my father's [Justice]!"

Fei'er said this with a worried look and a slightly resentful tone.

"Of course, my father told me not to take it seriously. He said it was just a verbal threat and the more I paid attention to it, the more it would push the other party to the limit. However, I really don't think so. They are not traitors with such gentle means. But since my father said so, I can't think of anyone else to turn to except you, my uncle."

"... Fei'er, although I'm sorry, I can't help you with this matter..."

"Xueyue..."

As soon as Gray Rock Skin opened his mouth, Xue Yue raised her hand to signal him:

"I'm sorry, but I refuse!"

"I haven't said anything yet..."

"I know what you are going to say without even thinking about it. I just fought a battle and I need to recuperate. Besides, I am tired from taking care of these children. I don't want to get involved in your family affairs, and I don't want to be a "partner of justice", so you should find someone else~"

Although Xueyue could clearly feel the gazes of Chtholly, Aiseya, and Nevlen when she mentioned "taking care of the children", this was not really an excuse. In short, it was better to put off this trivial matter that sounded a bit troublesome.

"Okay, it's almost time, we should go pick up Tiat~"

After Xueyue declined, she did not hesitate and asked Abigail, Chtholly, Aisiya, and Nephrine to leave the meeting room together.

"If possible, don't give it to anyone other than Uncle..."

Fei'er said in a low voice.

"If you really want to resolve this matter, you can only do your best to ask Xueyue for help. I can't solve it for you here."

Gray Rock Skin said so.

Fei'er looked at the gray rock skin, then looked at the backs of Xueyue and others who were gradually moving away, and could only lift her skirt and chase after them.

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

The bright afternoon sunshine, combined with the lunch break, inevitably makes people drowsy.

"Yawn..."

Xueyue lazily walked down the street, yawning comfortably without caring about her image. Although Xueyue didn't need to sleep, she hadn't slept for several days and the success of the battle inevitably made her feel lazy and wanted to rest. Although this feeling of laziness could be dispelled as long as she concentrated, Xueyue quite liked this lazy feeling.

“What a city with a lot of atmosphere~”

Aisiya was obviously very interested in the lively hawking sounds on both sides of the street.

"Come to think of it, is it really okay for us to wander around the streets like normal people? According to the rules, fairies are not allowed to move freely outside of Floating Island No. 68."

"That kind of thing doesn't matter~"

Xueyue had no psychological burden for slightly trampling on some meaningless rules.

"If you really care, even if I am a [weapon], then as an administrator and second-class officer, I can also take you around in the name of [transportation], just as a necessary place for the mission."

"Wow, the administrator is so shameless."

Aesiya burst into laughter.

"I'll take that as a compliment. If you want to survive in society, you have to be thick-skinned."

Suddenly, Xueyue felt a warm touch quietly wrapping around her left arm. Looking to the left, she saw Nephrine hugging her arm as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, Lian, why are you clinging to me all of a sudden?"

“Because it’s warm here and I feel safe.”

Nephren had an expression that said, "Why would you ask such a logical question?"

Next, Xueyue also felt a similar warm touch on her right arm. Looking to the right, Abigail was hugging Xueyue's right arm obediently.

Chapter 219 Fei'er

"Uh...Abby, do you want warmth too?"

"Uh-huh!"

Abigail nodded vigorously.

(This is really...)

Xueyue laughed secretly in her heart. Abigail really refused to admit defeat in some aspects.

Feeling the touch from both arms, hmm... Nephrine's body shape is really flat, in this respect it seems that Abigail is slightly better.

It is indeed a very pleasant experience to go shopping surrounded by beautiful girls like this. Well, it would be even better if there were no guys following behind.

Xueyue really wanted to ignore the girl from the Wolf-Signing Tribe who was following her closely, but it was difficult for her to completely pretend that such a creature who seemed to be following her to the end did not exist.

It has to be said that Fei'er does have an aristocratic demeanor, of course, I mean in terms of a good education. Maybe it's her nature, or maybe it's the upbringing of her parents. In short, she is a girl whose emotions are difficult to see.

Being left aside by the "uncle" whom she wanted to rely on, and being forced to follow this group of people who seemed to have unknown origins, a normal person would definitely not feel good. Although this was the case, she did not show any emotions such as confusion, anxiety, and anger on her face. She just followed Xueyue and her group persistently.

"call……"

Xueyue sighed.

"Um... your name is Fei'er, right? It's not right for you to follow me like this. I'll give you a chance, tell me."

"So what do you want to know?"

As if she had heard the gospel, Fei'er's eyes seemed to brighten and she took a few quick steps forward.

"According to Gray Rock Skin, you are the daughter of the mayor of this city. It seems that this city is not a lawless place. Why are you so sensitive to an assassination threat letter as the mayor's daughter?"

Xueyue was a little confused. If the mayor's position was vacated by gangsters like in some places that were in complete chaos, then it would be understandable. However, looking at the appearance of this city, and the fact that the military-like [Guardian Wing Army] had its headquarters here, it didn't seem like a place where assassination groups could run around.

"If this is the case..."

Fei'er organized her words and began to speak.

From her words and some of the observations of the fairy soldiers on the side, Xueyue roughly understood the situation.

The mayor here had become wealthy and powerful through business within a single generation, commonly known as a "nouveau riche", and Fei'er was the daughter born to this businessman in his old age.

The city originally practiced the aristocracy system, and the mayor system was introduced only ten years ago. Therefore, many people, especially the many aristocrats in the past, were dissatisfied with the current political system. The existence of the upstart mayor naturally became the political enemy of those people.

"Oh~"

In this case, Xueyue could understand that the impact of the new system on the old system would definitely make the vested interests of the old system dissatisfied, and Fei'er's father was a nouveau riche. Not only did he not have a strong foundation in the local area, but the characteristics of a businessman also meant that he did not have strong means to consolidate his rule. Then it would be easy for the entrenched old aristocracy to cause trouble for the mayor.

"So, the letter you took out earlier was a threatening letter from the old nobles?"

"Yes, it was a threatening letter from a faction that wanted to remove my father from power and install a relative of the old aristocracy as the mayor. Those people believed that my father was a person who tarnished the tradition and history of the city, and they wanted to eliminate him even if they had to do whatever it took."

Xueyue listened silently without expressing much opinion. She had heard from Abigail before that the uneasy gunshots in the corners of the city were probably caused by these things. After all, causing chaos in the city and creating the impression that the municipal government was incompetent was the best excuse to impeach the mayor, and it would also put the municipal government under pressure from public opinion.

"Next weekend, a ceremony will be held there to commemorate the completion of the renovation of the Central Cathedral. Father plans to give a speech on the spot about the future development direction of this city - a new policy that opens its doors to all races, and a future that serves as a bridge for trade between islands."

"The people from the faction I mentioned earlier will most likely send their minions [The Killing Bongshi Knights] to attack the scene, and they also intend to warn anyone who wants to assist my father."

"This name sounds like a knight group that is too young and full of energy, and will regret this name in about five years~"

Aisiya put her hands behind her head and complained.

Xueyue also nodded slightly; she had the same feeling.

This kind of name feels like it was casually chosen by a middle school kid. You might think it's crazy and cool when you're young, but after a few years of maturity, you'll want to slap yourself in the face for thinking it's a frivolous title.

"Of course, the minimum number of security personnel will be deployed on that day, but considering the behavior of the group that killed the Bongshi Knights, I really don't think that will be enough. They destroyed everything, kidnapped children, and committed violence at will, and used all means to drive all races other than orcs out of the city. That's why I want to ask my uncle, the first-class military officer Gray Rock Skin, to help."

"What do you think?"

Xueyue did not express her opinion, but just threw the question to the fairy soldier.

"I can't do it,"

Nevlen, who was holding Xueyue's left arm, clearly understood the meaning of Xueyue's question and said as she read out the script.

"The Guardian Wing Army is an organization that exists to fight against invaders from outside the Suspended Continent Group, and cannot interfere in the political affairs of each city. Basically, only when an individual or group clearly poses a serious threat to local security, the Guardian Wing Army can make an exception and use troops nearby;

However, that is an exception under emergency conditions, and the criteria for judging are very strict. Even if a conflict can be predicted, it is impossible to deploy troops in advance, which will be regarded as interference in city politics. "

"Yes, that's right. Just as Lian said, the mayor probably also understands that, so he didn't take the initiative to ask Gray Rock Skin to send soldiers for protection."

Xueyue nodded. The rules that Nephren mentioned were reasonable to apply here.

In Xueyue's opinion, maybe the mayor's friendship with Gray Rock Skin was also for the purpose of supporting him, but it was just a deterrent after all. The Guardian Wing Army was a military organization that fought externally, and Gray Rock Skin was a soldier. They naturally understood the relationship between them and would never take the initiative to use the army to interfere in the affairs of the floating island city. Doing so would not only give people a reason to criticize, but also might cause unpredictable consequences, which would completely deviate from the duties of the Guardian Wing Army.

Chapter 220 Not in the Name of Justice

"How could this be... Justice is obviously on our side. We want to eliminate the villains who are endangering the world. Why do we have to be subject to such restrictions?"

Fei'er said with a tone of disappointment and indignation.

"..."

Xueyue stopped, and Abigail and Nephrine, who were holding her arms, let go knowingly.

"Because the so-called "justice" is never a reason to resort to violence."

Xueyue turned around and said in a decisive tone,

"On the contrary, in most cases, the reason for using force is to justify it - [for justice]."

"If you want to attack someone, you must have other real reasons, such as wanting to plunder, wanting to belittle, wanting to bully, wanting to erase, feeling resentful, wanting to relieve pressure, all kinds of weird reasons, or just a combination of those old reasons."

"And those who use force are generally not willing to admit those things, because admitting those things would seem to turn them into beasts that only know how to kill and be bloodthirsty. Since they have already decided to use force, they naturally hope that they will not feel any guilt, but just put all their energy into beating the other party up."

“At that time, in order to deceive one’s own side, one will unfurl the banner of Justice, and use the beautiful wrapping paper of Justice to wrap up the overwhelming desire contained in the box.”

"Because both sides did so unconsciously. Those who truly believed that their side was [just] would fight the so-called [enemy] with all their might. This is how many wars throughout history have been fought."

Xueyue has seen all kinds of wars in different worlds. She does not deny that there are indeed fights caused by people who have no chance of survival and rise up in resistance, but people like that are just trying to survive and will not hang up the high-sounding name of "justice".

In most wars, those who harm others under the banner of "justice" are ultimately just trying to steal things that originally belonged to others.

"So, I have never represented the side of [justice]. You can even think that I am casually [evil]."

Xueyue approached Fei'er and said,

"If you really want to take action against those you think are your enemies, then you should try to kill them yourself. This is my opinion, and this is what I would do if I encountered such a situation."

"I……"

"You mean you can't do it? Of course you can't do it, because you are a young lady and you don't have that kind of fighting power. So, just hand over the task of inflicting violence to others and you can just watch. And all the bloodshed may only be a string of words and numbers on a report on your desk in the end."

"That's all I have to say. Think about it carefully..."

Seeing that Fei'er was like a student being scolded by the teacher, an expression of loss and grievance was already on her face, and even her ears, which were originally erect, drooped down.

"So, as before, I must deny your request, Miss Faye..."

Seeing this, Xueyue said nothing more and left.

Abigail, Chtholly, Aiseya, and Nephrine just looked back at Fei'er and followed Xueyue's footsteps.

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

nursing home.

The little green-haired kid who was waiting for something at the door suddenly lit up with his frivolous eyes when he saw Xue Yue and her group approaching, and he ran towards them.
