The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 64: “Twin Goddess Republic”
Although Ghirlandaio directly said their names, Neuser did not want to take him directly to the three players.
It’s not that he wants to collect money or deliberately cause trouble...
This is the vigilance that underground people often have and should have.
Although he does not look like an assassin or a spy, he is indeed a big shot; but this "Ghirlandaio" is not completely without loopholes and contradictions.
What if he is not their leader, but their enemy?
Then if I take him directly to Si Anke, wouldn’t that mean I sold Si Anke and the others?
Compared to the Hidden Eye organization that promised to "change" the underground world, the three of them have actually paid a lot for the Sporation Mill...even giving their own souls and lives.
If you want to get more help, you will put aside those who have already given a lot and tried their best to help you. That would undoubtedly be a shameful betrayal.
Even if he doesn't get more help because he neglected Ghirlandaio, he will never blame Si Anke and them for this.
——Nieussel has seen too many examples of favors turning into enemies.
Even if the nightmare of the Sporadic Mill was not purified in the end... Neusel had already made up his mind and would never show any disappointment to them.
Because in the final analysis, the nightmare of the underground world has nothing to do with them. If it is not purified, it will not harm their interests, and if it is purified, it will not do them any good.
They are willing to come here to purify the nightmare - no matter what the final result is, this friend Neuser has already decided.
No matter how bad it is, it will just return to the current situation.
Occasionally Neusel would reflect - perhaps, he had never believed that they could really purify the nightmare of the Sporadic Mill.
As long as he does not repay hope, he will not be disappointed; on the other hand, if he is not disappointed at all...can it also be understood that he has never maintained this hope?
"What?"
Lin Yiyi's face was full of surprise, but full of resentment: "Jilanda Aeo Palace... Sir, are you finally here? I've been waiting for a week and it hasn't come yet. The snacks I bought for him in the first place have expired!
"...I promised to arrive soon, but it has already been almost ten days."
“‘I’ll be there soon’ doesn’t mean ‘coo-coo-coo’.”
Jiu'er touched Lin Yiyi's head and comforted her friend gently: "Sister Gangzi, how did you spread Fufu?"
"Is this comfort? Hey!
"——And haven't you ever believed it? Am I the only one who believes it?!"
Lin Yiyi screamed.
Have you ever seen this kind of situation where an NPC solemnly said to you, "Let's meet here after shopping", and then the person just muttered for two weeks before he came over satisfied and said, "I'm done shopping"?
If there is, it can only be Ayushka's game.
In the past few days, Lin Yiyi ran to the entrance of the subway station to see if Annan was coming. She was worried that Annan might not be able to find them when he came... She felt like she was about to become Hachiko, a loyal dog.
As a result, she waited for almost a week and still didn't see anyone.
But she didn't wait any longer, Annan came within two days.
This is very annoying.
"One thing to say, it's true. Since he hasn't arrived in two days, he doesn't go up there to go shopping and breathe fresh air. Something must have happened."
Si Anke, who was walking behind, whispered: "Didn't I persuade you the day before yesterday to eat that snack quickly?"
Lin Yiyi: "Huh?"
A "danger" Si An face suddenly popped up above his head and he responded without changing his expression: "But, it's not my fault, sister. After all, the boss has never complained before, so there must have been some accident this time. Since the boss didn’t mean it, it’s normal that he couldn’t guess it.
"Considering the status of the boss, it is reasonable for him to suddenly encounter any problems that must be solved immediately."
——After all, his true identity is Annan Coldong.
In the land of the Principality of Winter, it is normal to encounter emergencies suddenly.
Whether he is assassinated, or there are urgent government affairs that need to be dealt with, or he is simply taken back home to inherit the position of Grand Duke, or even arranged by the Grand Duke to go on a blind date, it is very possible.
It would be better to say that it only took ten days to get back. Annan must be very busy over there.
Si Anqi could imagine that Annan must have rushed over immediately after the matter was settled.
Considering that Neuser was still with him, Si An did not say the second half of his words.
Nieussel, who was walking aside, also knew very well:
This must be something I cannot tell myself.
But this is normal, after all, I have only known myself for less than two weeks.
Underground, constant vigilance is a virtue. It can prevent unconscious betrayal of one's relatives and friends... After all, there is no restraint from the Orthodox Church in the underground city, nor is there any management by the state. There are many cultists who believe in Skeleton Lord and Black Widow.
——It’s a good thing to be careful with yourself.
"Okay, we're here."
Nieussel spoke.
He stretched out his hand to support Si Anqi's shoulders, looked forward, and pointed with his chin: "That is Mr. Ghirlandaio. Next to him is a werewolf female companion. Take a look first. Do you know them or not? Are they acquaintances of yours?"
That's a tavern.
Ghirlandaio and Doreen were sitting near the window, but the strange thing was that they were not facing each other, but rather shoulder to shoulder and facing inwards.
This is a seat deliberately arranged by Neuser. Because this kind of probing move was too rude, Neusel had already covered all their expenses today.
This will prevent Ghirlandaio from seeing them first.
But the moment they saw Gilandaio, Lin Yiyi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, this is Ghirlandaio."
Lin Yiyi said with great certainty.
Niusel nodded: "Then you go and talk to him first. Confirm your identity... Don't go together with three people."
"Do you want to go to such trouble!"
Si Anke exclaimed.
It's almost like an intelligence agent.
"This vigilance is necessary."
Neousel shook his head, he was used to the naivety of people on the ground.
“In the underground city, this kind of scam of ‘Who are you?’ and ‘It’s me, have you forgotten?’ is too common.
"Furthermore, both shape-shaping spells and idol spells can disguise oneself as others, and it is not difficult to use illusions and rituals to change the appearance when the situation comes. You should first confirm whether they are acquaintances - if they are indeed Call them in. It's best to set a secret signal first and run away if things go wrong."
Nieussel said patiently: "After all, he is a Silver-level transcendent. If you really want to take action, you can only run away. I can't save you..."
Nieussel had seen this scene of pretending to be a mature person and then immediately assassinating someone as soon as he got close to him, at least three times.
"It's really a mess here."
Jiuer sighed.
Neusser shrugged and lowered his voice: "This is indeed the case here."
Another interpretation of freedom is the inability to do so - different cities have different laws, which means that offenders in one city may not necessarily be arrested after entering other cities.
——You are a wise man from other cities, why should you arrest people from our city? Are your hands stretched too far?
Especially in underground cities, the flow of people is so large that almost everyone has passed through other cities. So today you say this person is a fugitive from your place, and tomorrow he says that person is a fugitive from his place, am I going to arrest all the people here?
Based on this concern ~IndoMTL.com~ even though we know there are villains in our own city, we must not arrest them according to the wishes of wise men in other cities. It must be based on the wise person's own judgment - for example, "if this person is kept, will other citizens be moved away?"
After all, legally speaking, the status of wise men in different cities is equal, and each wise man is the supreme ruler in his own city.
There is no competition among them, and they are not allowed to start wars. How the city develops depends on its own ability. For this reason, it is not so much a country with many cities, but a combination of many small countries. Federal State.
But it is not a true federal state after all, because it does not have a unified constitution and laws, and it does not have a president; it is not even a confederation, because the vast majority of underground cities do not have independent finance and military. It is not considered an independent and sovereign country at all. The transportation and freight between these cities are basically shared. No one dares to use it alone, and no one dares to cut it off.
Niusel sometimes feels strange.
Why is it in the so-called "Two Goddess Republic".
What if there are neither two goddesses nor a federation?
