old man sat quietly in the seat, staring blindly at the round table in front of him. In the bright conference hall, the atmosphere at the moment was unusual muffled. Beside old man, a well-dressed man stood there quietly, holding his paper with his head down, reading the words above one by one, but his voice was also extremely bitter.

"At present, there are already signs of widespread famine in China, and food prices have skyrocketed. In addition to the seaport area, which can barely satisfy self-sufficiency, riots and famines of varying degrees have appeared in other places. There are less than two-thirds of the people who support us to fight, and because most of the soldier is sent to the front, we ca n’t even find enough people to expel thugs. In addition, in the border areas, those barbarian's aggression is also ... well, well. "

Hearing this, old man waved his hands weakly and interrupted the other party ’s statement. He moved his body hard. look like is a sick person who has been completely powerless to continue his actions. He looked up helplessly. Looking at the conference hall in front of me. Bright sunlight spilled through the windows into the large conference hall, but now, there is no longer the bustling scene in the past. Under the eyes of old man, there are only more than a dozen representatives from different forces and organizations sitting on the round table. Behind them, the original article should be crowded and noisy, and there are only dozens of representative crowds. Seeing this scene in front of him, old man can't help but took a breath. Of course he knew that the current situation was very difficult, but he overestimated the binding of Parliament on these Noble and businessmen. He used to be very optimistic that the formation of Southern Parliament is the common responsibility and common interests of businessmen and Noble, so even if something happens, in order to protect their interests, these people should be able to abandon their prejudices and work together to move forward Able to overcome difficulties. But now ...............

old man rolled his turbid eyes and looked at the people in front of him. He knew that these people are still just watching. Once they see something is wrong, they will immediately withdraw from it and leave here. But now, they cannot leave. As long as they stay, there is hope. They have paid so much for this day. As long as they can continue to support, they still have the hope of victory!

Thinking of this, old man sat up straight. He glanced deeply around, and then this was started talking.

"I think ... everyone has seen and heard ... what happened recently, I admit that the current situation in our country is not very good and because of this, some people choose to escape and quit , I will not blame them for their own choice. But, guys, I think you should also be very clear, when we choose this path to start, we have to face these. This is not a smooth journey, guys, Every step of ours is hard and bumpy. However, this is the way to pursue freedom. Think about the Parliament of light. When they took the power that belongs to our humans from the hands of the dragon of light, is could it be very smooth? Now , We just encountered such a small setback, could it be is going to give up? "

"This is not our responsibility! Master Parliament Elder!"

Finally, someone couldn't help but retorted.

"If it is not the shameless Royal Family that burned our food reserves, how can we fall into this situation?"

"Is it useful to just blame?"

Hearing his words, old man's eyes flickered, and when he saw Old Parliament Elder's eyes, the man was dumb and closed his mouth.

"They are our enemies now, how can you expect the enemies to have mercy on you! And, we don't have any evidence to prove this now, it is pointless to entangle this issue here, we have to figure out a way , To solve the immediate problem. "

Speaking of this, old man stopped for a moment, long panting, and then turned his head to look at a man dressed by a businessman next to him.

"Saville, what I let you do, what happened ... Master Parliament Elder, I have contacted the Chamber of Commerce in Kingdom of Light as you ordered, and I hope to receive food assistance from them, but ... But their asking price is too high! It is almost three to five times the usual !!! This is a big burden for us ... promise them! "

Old Parliament Elder gritted his teeth, of course he knew that when Southern Parliament sent reinforcements to Parliament of Light Faction, they had made a request to Koshino Parliament in the hope that they could provide some food supplies to fill the shortfall, but Koshino Parliament has been Procrastination did not mean to promise them. In desperation, Southern Parliament can only seek the assistance of the Chamber of Commerce in Kingdom of Light, and these businessmen naturally sit on the ground and ask for money. originally Southern Parliament also intends to slow down a bit to lower the price. But now, under the pressure of the situation, they have no way out.

"But Master Parliament Elder, even if the food we brought from Kingdom of Light is not enough to meet the needs of so many people, let alone there are 70,000 soldier rations on the front line yet to be solved, we ... food Insufficient, we currently have no other solution. But, everyone, let us not forget our strengths. "

"Strengths?"

After hearing this, many people finally raised their heads and began to focus on Old Parliament Elder in front of their eyes, and felt their gaze, Old Parliament Elder nodded with satisfaction. Now, the atmosphere in Parliament is finally no longer like That was a dead pool just now. Although Old Parliament Elder is not without doubts about this plan, but now, in order to maintain the hope in front of him, he can only do so.

"Yes, everyone, I think you have seen it, because of the food shortage problem, all parts of the country have been affected to varying degrees. However, only the harbour area can still maintain stability. Do you know what the reason is?"

"This ... the main food in the harbour area is mainly seafood, so they have not been affected much. Right now, it is the fishing season, we can issue an order in the name of Parliament to require fishermen in the harbour area Work throughout the day, and process these as quickly as possible, and transport them to those areas with severe famine! In this way, you can temporarily ease the crisis there and prepare for our next action! "

"But, Master Parliament Elder."

When I heard Parliament Elder's words, everyone was very bright, but soon, someone disturbed me and gave different opinions.

"Even if you say you want to fish, fishing is limited, and how do you ship these seafood to various inland areas? This requires a large amount of money. Also, the previous operations in the seaport area are all There are restrictions, and if fishing is carried out without restrictions, what can we do next year? Besides, fishing is not a long-term plan after all. Now Special Envoy of Parliament of the light is already in Golden City, but the woman is excused to go out, Delayed, if we continue to be dragged on by her, how long can we persist? "

"If we ca n’t hold on to the present, then there is no future."

The Old Parliament Elder took a deep breath, staring at everyone, saying one word after another.

"We must stand up, and that woman will not hide from us forever. As long as we can persist for three months, we will win the dawn of victory!"

"Three months?"

"Yes, I think you will remember that after three months, it will be Dragon Soul Holy Ceremony, and by that time, the woman will definitely go to Kingdom of Light on behalf of Dukedom to see Dragon Soul of Light, and as long as that time, she will never be able to escape The question of Parliament of light! And we, will also see the dawn of victory !! "

Say here. old man raised his hand high, and when he heard his words, those originally downcast, silent parliamentarians, at the moment also reassured enthusiasm and courage. As Old Parliament Elder said, since they dare to do so, they already have the consciousness of facing difficulties. However, if it is a day without a future and no hope, then no matter how persistent it is, it is meaningless. And now, when they heard Old Parliament Elder say this, they also suddenly realized that they had revived the courage that originally had been worn away. Insufficient food and frequent civil unrest, if such days do not end, then it is a real nightmare. But now, if they are only allowed to persist for three months, then there is no problem.

After having figured this out, the originally atmosphere in the muffled conference hall was lively again, and the legislators stood up one by one, waving their fists, expressing their determination and courage.

"Yes, we can't give up yet, everyone, don't forget our original ideals and expectations!"

"That's right, those cowards who escaped will one day regret it!"

"Very good!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, old man's eyes reappeared with radiance of relief. He coughed twice and then raised his hand to signal that everyone was quiet. Later, he was continued to speak.

"Since everyone has no opinion, then it is so decided. Now, I ask you to inform the public about this matter, and at the same time maintain the law and order on the street and Order. It ’s the people who are uneasy about their future. As long as we can ensure their lives are stable, a lot of troubles will be solved. Also, I asked the Southern Fleet to immediately go to the Strait of Light and guard the commercial passage there to avoid the Royalist army. Invasion and harassment. From now on, the harbour area should be fully operated to ensure the food resources of other areas, and tell the fishermen that we will buy at a price that is twice the usual price, so that they can do it with confidence. "

Speaking of this, old man slowly stood up and looked at the people in front of him.

“It ’s not just the battle on the front line, everyone, this is also a war invisible to us, we ca n’t fall here, only the winner can stand to the end, we want to win Those !!! "

The noise is gone.

As the reinvigorated parliamentarians leave one by one, the large conference hall becomes silent again and becomes quiet. Old Parliament Elder stood in front of the seat, looking at the empty meeting place, and for the first time showed a gratifying smile.

And then, his complexion suddenly changed.

"Cough cough... ... cough cough !!"

With an intense coughing sound, old man hunched over and bent down, his thin body shivered uncontrollably, the harsh coughing sound of sharp reverberated in the quiet conference hall, until a moment later, old man stopped After he came down, he gasped slowly and stood up straight again. At the moment, a shocking bright red color appeared on the handkerchief in front of old man.

"I ca n’t fall yet ... Everything is not over yet ... We still have the expectation of victory ...

Looking at the blood in front of him, Old Parliament Elder muttered to himself, then he stood upright and straightened his spine again, then Old Parliament Elder turned around and left the conference hall.

The cold wind whizzed past, bringing with it a whiff of white smoke, and the scent of the pungent smell came, making the can't help but feel the index finger move.

"Sure enough, the fresh fish just came out is the most delicious."

Lydia sat leisurely by the lake, both hands hugged his knees, with a proud and playful smile, looking at the wide dark blue amber in front of him. From afar, the blue sky and the blue lake seemed to reflect each other. Become a piece, blending with each other, boundless.

"From spring to autumn, only the most beautiful color in the world can be transformed. Ice turns into water, and water turns into ice. This is the most beautiful scenery in the world. Even if it is the same leaf, you will get different feelings when you observe it from different angles. Dancing with the breeze, shaking with the raging wind, this is the best proof of life survival and the world. "

Speaking of this, Archangel Leader turned his head and looked at old man sitting not far from himself.

"Do n’t you think so? Official Almond?"

"Your Highness, the veteran hopes you can be quieter, and the fish that will be hooked will be scared away by you."

"There is no such thing? Official Almond? Smart fish will not be tempted, and tempted fish will not be so scared away, once it has such an idea, then even if it is hooked No bait, it will also rush to Dash on Bravely with No Thought of Personal Safety, although it is stupid, but because of its stupidity, it can satisfy other people's appetite, so this is also the result of everyone's joy? Stupid fish will not Regret for my decision, and the angler has fulfilled his expectations. Everyone is happy, isn't it? "

"Hah ..............."

Facing Archangel Leader's answer, the old Mage has no choice but to let out a long sigh.

"You have been away from Golden City for some time, Your Highness, but it seems that Emissary from Parliament of Light does not seem to intend to leave."

"It ’s okay to go with him. Compared to that envoy, he must have been attracted by the beauty of Golden City and could n’t extricate himself, so, isn't that great? It's almost time for the maple leaves in Beiling to change color. Wandering in the bright red maple forest, taste the sweet chestnuts, don't you have a taste? Teacher Almond? You shouldn't mind traveling with me in Maple Forest. " /

"Hah ... Your Highness, this is not the time to say this."

"Ah, that's right, the fish is already cooked."

In the face of the helpless sigh of old Mage, Lydia showed a playful and brisk smile, and then the girl reached out and picked up the grilled fish by the campfire and tasted it in a small bite.

“Wu...… It ’s just the right time, grilling fish is really a knowledge, it will burn when it is too long, but it will smell fishy if it is too short. If you ca n’t accurately grasp the heat and time, then you can There is no way to savor the taste in it as it is now. Whether it is too heavy or burnt, it will not make people feel delicious ... So, Your Highness, in your opinion, is the time ripe? ? "

After hearing the old Mage's inquiry, Lydia's movements were gently paused for a moment.

"The taste of this fish is really good, Teacher Almond ... This fish is mine, this lake is mine, and the fish in this lake is also mine. I will not let those greedy people **** it away What they originally belonged to me, they may have forgotten that the delicious food belongs to Moon Dukedom and belongs to my property, rather than being used by the incompetent to give to the greedy rats outside for waste. "

Speaking of this, the corners of Lydia's mouth are slightly warped, showing a nice curve.

"Notify Royal Third Fleet that it is time for them to play."

"Royal Third Fleet?"

Heard here, old Mage can't help but complexion slightly changed.

"Your Highness, is this necessary?"

"Now is the season of wind, Official Almond."

Hearing the old Mage's inquiry, Lydia giggling reached out, closes the eyes, feeling the breeze passing by.

"Sometimes, the cat's claws are not meant to be arrested, but to warn the ——— to deter the mischievous rats, I have not fallen to such a weak and deceitful position ... Obey, Your Highness."

sound of the wind roared past, the figure of old Mage disappeared, only Lydia was still sitting on the stone by the lake, holding grilled fish in hand, with a playful smile, watching the line connecting the lake and the sky in front of him. And at this moment, suddenly, there was a crisp sound of water waves, and then the fishing rod placed next to it began to shake violently. Lydia turned around curiously, then smiled lightly, and reached up to pick up the fishing rod. Soon, a fat The fish struggled to be lifted off the water. And looking at the fish that is struggling in front of him, Lydia can't help but eats and covers his mouth, eyes narrowed.

"Yu'er is already hooked ... then next, it's time to cook." RS
