Instead, the guardians were three women.

This time, Durian Blana didn't act rashly, but carefully observed the group of people.

Then, she made her judgment.

A street hustler, a drunkard, and an autistic man!

No threat whatsoever! She could already see freedom beckoning to her!

3. Then she experienced the peak intensity brought by the Terra Ultimate Numerical Monster Trisolaran.

What is meant by "the world in a painting"?

Why is it that these little monsters (Mo Liang) can move, but I can't feel their life force at all, and my flames can't control them?

Is "It seems like the Milky Way has fallen from the ninth heaven" actually a realistic description? And why is this Milky Way filled with wine? *burp*—I really can't drink anymore.

H, and please, I beg you, I really don't want to watch those awful movies. You can kill him, torture him, do whatever you want, but you can't torture a Draco like this!

U, she behaved herself.

Yes, although she was still angry, she was really obedient now.

Those three guards were nothing short of demons' henchmen. No, even those demons were kind and gentle compared to them!

Q: The real demon king is Ernst!

Where did he find these lackeys? They're utterly inhuman!

Abrahana had basically given up on the idea of ​​escaping. She even began to wonder if Ernst kept changing her guards, and with each change being of a higher caliber, because she always thought about escaping!

If she hadn't run away, would there not have been any more terrifying hunters appearing?

Abrahana stayed obediently in her room.

So much so that when Ernst arrived, he was somewhat surprised and puzzled to see her sitting obediently at the table, looking at the book in her hands.

Did I arrest the wrong person? Why is Abrahina so obedient? At first glance, I thought Raphsini had returned!

"She wasn't honest at all at first."

Nian loudly complained,

"Back then, she was always thinking about running away. It was only after Xi Mei and your sister gave her a little lesson that she behaved herself."

Ernst looked thoughtfully at Abrahana in the room upon hearing this.

Abrahana was trembling, cold sweat was pouring down her face, and the serene smile on her face was starting to crumble.

She seemed to want to turn her head to look at Ernst, but was also afraid, so she just remained in that position, tears welling up in her eyes.

Hmm, it looks quite interesting.

It has a kind of "mountain city love" feel to it, where the characters are dressed as dogs.

However, judging from her reaction, it seems that Nian wasn't lying. If she had been honest, she probably wouldn't have witnessed the beast's abilities, and wouldn't have been so terrified.

"By the way, did you show her the movies, the ones you made?"

Ernst suddenly remembered something and asked.

Nian patted his chest, extremely proud:

"Of course! Let me tell you, we're also being reasonable, we're talking about the humanitarianism you mentioned!"

“Every time she tries to escape and we catch her, I show her the amazing photos I took, just to soothe her wounded heart! She gets really engrossed in watching them!”

Ernst thought for a moment, but still didn't ask how the investment was made.

"So now that she's not running away, does that mean we're not watching anymore?" Ernst asked, feeling somewhat guilty.

"How can that be?" Nian waved his hand. "I feel that my skills have improved a lot since this trip to Blue Card Dock, and I've come up with a lot of great ideas!"

"I've shown her all the material I had in stock recently, but I'll definitely continue to look at it in the future. After all, it's rare to have such a discerning viewer, and I'm really looking forward to her feedback so I can continue to refine my skills and make further progress!"

boom!

A sound came from inside the room. Ernst turned around and looked through the window to see Abrahana lying on the floor.

Evil people need other evil people to teach them a lesson.

Compared to the terrible things Abrahana did, which could be compiled into a necromancer's manual, this torment is nothing at all.

It's a pity about all my good deeds, Ernst, you can't laugh!

After calming himself down and mentally striking the wooden fish for merit a few times, Ernst turned his gaze to Ling beside him:

"Actually, there's something else I wanted to discuss with you this time."

"Miss Ling, do you know who the next Beast Agent to come to Sherag will be?"

He paused slightly in his drinking motion, slowly opened his sleepy eyes, looked at Ernst, and after a long while replied: S

"It's millet."

"Then why hasn't she done it yet?"

"That child is very stubborn."

He looked up, somewhat wistfully, at the azure sky, and spoke earnestly, U

"She's the sixth among us, but she always considers herself the eldest sister. In terms of stubbornness, she's probably no less stubborn than the second brother."

"Until she resolves her inner conflict, she probably won't be easily persuaded."

I have H1N1 flu and need to take a day off.

I have H1N1, and I'm having trouble breathing, family.

My head is throbbing and I can't stop coughing. I feel even worse than when I first tested positive. I haven't eaten anything all day, and even after taking the medicine, I have no energy at all.

I really couldn't take it anymore, so I'm taking the day off and going to sleep now. I was supposed to check on the final destination today, but I didn't get a chance to take the test. I said I'd go to a friend's place, but after a while I felt unwell, so I went to the hospital instead.

I'm so sorry, being an author is really fragile. The Lunar New Year is almost here, I hope everyone takes care of their health.

I'm going to rest now.

Chapter 910: Maybe it's just something someone else does on a whim?

Yanguo, the deserted city.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and the Yan Kingdom attaches great importance to the issue of food. However, since its establishment, the Great Wilderness City has always been in an awkward position.

It supplies grain to several cities in northern Yan State, and even bears the responsibility of providing wartime provisions to the northern front line at the Wuding River, making it a veritable granary of the north. However, Yan State's attitude towards this place has always been ambiguous.

During the Crystallization Era, in the first wave of widespread adoption of mobile cities modeled after Lingons, the capital of Gaul, Great Wilderness City failed to secure a single ticket. Later, when the people of Yan used their wisdom to build mobile cities with their own "local style," Great Wilderness City still didn't get a turn.

Dahuangcheng is like a long-time employee at a company's annual party. He gets called out and thanked every year, but he never gets a promotion, a raise, or a chance to win a vacation.

Most ordinary people, when faced with this situation, would realize something—either they've offended their boss and are being targeted, or they haven't done anything wrong, but this "old man" has become a thorn in the side, an obstacle to the company's further development.

"But what crime has the Great Wilderness City committed?"

"This city supports the entire northern part of Yan Kingdom and is an important grain base. The farmers here work hard every day, the researchers here are constantly improving their technology, and everyone here is very hardworking."

“Brother Chongyue, I’m not good at preaching, but I promised them I would protect this city. You don’t need to try to persuade me anymore.”

He placed a bowl of hot rice in front of Chongyue, his face showing a resolute expression.

Chongyue sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to speak, Shu had already picked up the spatula and returned to the kitchen.

Her day seemed exceptionally busy; it appeared she never had a moment to spare.

But you have no idea what she's busy with.

At least, Chongyue has been in Dahuang City for almost half a month, and still hasn't figured out anything.

In Yan Kingdom, the agents of the Year Beasts each had their own destinations. Some, like Xi, had no feelings for the Great Yan Kingdom and hated the intrigue of the court and the aggressiveness of the Year God, so they simply found a remote mountain forest to live in seclusion. Others, like Nian, were interested in all sorts of new things, so they actively integrated into the secular world and wanted to become a part of the mortal world.

Even more so, there are those like [Jie], who, as agents of the Year Beast, dedicate themselves to the imperial court and become renowned scholars who benefit all under heaven.

Shu is that kind of person.

However, her efforts to benefit the world were not in the imperial court, but in the local areas.

She obtained her agricultural master's license and began her "farming life" in the grain-producing city of Dahuang.

But in the eyes of the other agents of the Year Beast, especially the second and seventh brothers, Shu's behavior was more like self-imposed restraint and self-exile.

After all, the power of her [Cause and Effect] is far more than just reaping what you sow. If she wanted to do something big, the commotion she could create would probably be no less than that of her second brother.

Chongyue wasn't that extreme, but seeing Shu's preoccupied appearance, he felt bad too.

Sitting at the dining table, he watched as the last dish of millet porridge was served, and he sat opposite him before slowly speaking:

“Shu, Nian, Xi, and Ling are all doing well over there.”

Shu nodded, seemingly not understanding Chongyue's meaning at all:

"I can rest assured that."

Chongyue stopped beating around the bush and gave a direct reminder;

“Dahuang City doesn’t need your protection. The Celestial Master is here, and the soldiers guarding the north are here. The safety of Dahuang City is guaranteed by them. Rather, your presence here is a threat.”

Shu's expression stiffened for a moment.

She wasn't that she didn't understand; she was just pretending not to.

But Chongyue's words were still somewhat hurtful.

Not far north of Dahuang City lies the battlefield where Yan Kingdom fights against the northern demons. The Old Celestial Master, the Celestial Master's Mansion, and the elite soldiers guarding the north are all stationed there. Although it's not exactly an eight-hundred-mile-long continuous camp, each soldier is a top-tier elite force of Yan Kingdom. The safety of Dahuang City is indeed well guaranteed, and there's no need for her, a Beast Agent, to act as a "guardian" here.

Moreover, in the eyes of some people in the Imperial Household Department and the imperial court, the existence of millet in the Great Wilderness City was actually a threat.

Only those who have wronged you truly know how wronged you are. The Yan Kingdom's attitude towards the agents of the Year Beast—whether it is benevolent and lenient or sharp and mean—is clearer to the people of Yan than anyone else.

The reason they established the Si Sui Tai, an institution whose very name carries a strong connotation, is precisely because they are worried that one day, the agents of the Sui Beasts will suddenly launch an attack.

Now let's take a look at the location and importance of the Great Wilderness City.

Ahead lies the front line of Yan Kingdom's fight against evil, behind lies many large cities in the northern part of Yan Kingdom, and it is also an important grain base. Yet, the modernization of this mobile city is the latest. Why?

Because she is a hedgehog folding agent.

Transforming the Great Wilderness City would inevitably disrupt the city's order. What if Shu were to cause trouble at that time?

Shu knew he wouldn't do that, but when had the court ever trusted the agents of the Year Beast?

Their concern was that if the problem of the famine erupted, the investment in the reconstruction would be wasted, which was a minor issue. More importantly, the front lines would be attacked from both sides, and the entire northern region would face food shortages due to the upheaval in Great Wilderness City. In the worst-case scenario, the northern defense line at the [Wuding River] might even be breached by the demons, exposing the entire northern region to their contamination. At that point, even gathering relief supplies would be problematic, and famine might even break out!

No one can afford this price.

Of course, such an assumption is somewhat of a slippery slope fallacy.

Chongyue knew that, given Shu's personality, even if problems arose at the front lines, she would most likely step forward rather than take advantage of the situation.

The only thing she lacked between herself and the imperial court was trust.

But the imperial court has never granted such trust to the agents of the Year Beast. He had been stationed on the border for a hundred years without holding any military rank, and the best proof of this was that he finally used the title of "Grandmaster" from the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world) as his identity when traveling.

Chongyue was neither greedy for merit nor fond of fame, but that doesn't mean he couldn't distinguish where injustice lay and what was good and bad.

"The people from the Sishui Terrace are waiting outside now."

Chongyue spoke again earnestly,

“I’ve already spoken to him. If you’re willing to leave, Great Wilderness City will have the opportunity to be renovated next year.”

"The pressure on the northern border will also be less."

Shu opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Chongyue's words touched a raw nerve.

What do you mean by saying that the pressure on the northern border will actually be less after she leaves?

So, is it possible that some people are deliberately trying to guard against me?

But she couldn't refute it.

She's lived here for hundreds of years; even a tree's roots know the soil dozens of meters deep. How could she not know anything?

Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife!

For a moment, Shu was indeed a little sad and disappointed.

She could fool others, but she couldn't fool herself. Even if she had deceived herself for so many years, once someone pointed it out, she would no longer be able to keep up the act.
