What did you do with the dice?

Although the blue team did not react immediately, he seemed to have used some means to release the control of the shadow, stepped on the ground to regain his balance, then put down the sword in his hand, waved his fist, and shouted that he would teach the black team, which had always acted on its own, a lesson.

The punch was very fast and came directly in front of the black side. The black side was not to be outdone, and the dagger went straight along the fist and stabbed into the abdomen of the blue side.

To be honest, the commentator felt that this posture and position seemed like a squat and upward thrust could directly pierce the blue team's chin and kill with a devastating effect, but the black team seemed to have a special liking for the blue team's abdomen and liked to poke that place specifically.

The blue guy's fist was obviously faster, but it seemed like his bronchitis had come back, and the punch stopped in front of the black guy and didn't hit his face!

The black team seemed to be moved by the blue team's repeated behavior of stopping in time, and it awakened the word "martial ethics" that had been forgotten in some corner of its body for a long time. It was a kind of reciprocity. It did not poke the blue team's belly with the knife, but just gestured and put it away.

Is the game going to end like this?

Oh! We see a sneak attack from the Black team, directly using the tail that has been hiding behind the back the entire game, to hit the Blue team's calf with a fierce blow! This blow looks very fierce, and the force must have rushed directly from the calf to the brain, causing a concussion effect, and it actually hit the Blue team and made them stand there in a daze!

Okay, then the black team took advantage of the victory, jumped up, stretched out his hand to grab his ear, and this powerful grappling hand combined with the body lock directly pulled the blue team to bend over. Is he going to engage in ground fighting?

It seemed like not. The black team struck a decisive blow, wrapping the tail of the hidden weapon around the blue team's waist and dragging them out of the arena! Only the blue team's assistant was left, blushing and apologizing to the black team, seemingly trying to justify his unethical behavior of a two-on-one fight.

The black team was also very generous and snorted, probably to express his forgiveness for the blue team's support.

Seeing that the black team was gradually turning into the white team, the blue team took advantage of the situation and hugged the white team from behind. He leaned his face forward and gave the other party a kiss when she turned her head back. He gritted his teeth and seemed to say something beside her ear. Judging from his reluctant expression, he probably paid a heavy price, which made the white team's hairy tail gradually stand up, and the dangerous aura eased.

It was a very martial arts episode. Afterwards, the real referee, Sanitieta, arrived at the scene just as the bell rang at the end of the game. After briefly understanding the situation of the game from the two assistant referees on the sidelines, he ordered the cleaner (maid) who was mistaken for the referee to clean the venue (Ai Li's room), and finally gave the verdict.

It seems that the effective score of the black team's final tail and the decisive catch is higher, and the referee is very unprofessional. He directly mocked the blue team player in private, saying that he wasted his precious time.

Finally, let us congratulate Phoenix, who has now become the white side, for successfully completing the challenge!

As the winner, she received the blue square as a prize.

But before leaving, Phoenix said something to Aerie that sounded like a question, but to Rusalka it sounded completely incoherent and confusing: "What if I'm not here?"

Ai Li was stunned for a moment and did not answer, as if he did not understand the meaning of Phoenix's inexplicable words.

But unlike Rusalka, she turned her gaze away and lowered her head slightly.

Phoenix snorted again, pulled out a dagger from the weapon slot beside his leg and threw it in the direction of Ai Li, then without looking back, pulled Zhu Bajie to look in the mirror - Rusalka, who was in a difficult situation and didn't even dare to ask Phoenix what he meant, left.

Chapter 219 Missed 100 Million

Rusalka was currently lying on the bed, holding the cat that was sleeping on him like a pendant, and chose to start his second long rest.

Rusalka thought: If the cat were sleeping on its back at this moment, it would look like the flesh armor in the book.

Well, although it's a good thing that long rests in this world don't have a 24-hour limit, Rusalka always feels like she just woke up and fell down again not long after, wasting a whole day and ruining the conversation between the two of them. She was really depressed and went to Sanita to complain: (I just woke up from a long rest and haven't done anything yet, but I lie down again. Is this reasonable?

No, Hydra and Phoenix were chatting happily, so why did she suddenly want to watch Phoenix bake cookies, and then even promised Phoenix to come and eat with me? Why did she choose to find me when I was in Aili's room instead of earlier or later? I suspect she was watching me and deliberately trying to trick me!

Sanita, who was laughing as she wrote this year's tax forms and draft notice, said: (She said before that she can't see your future, nor can she see your future through others.)

Rusalka sighed. (This is such bad luck! Phoenix had a falling out with Aerie for no apparent reason, and just now she threw a weapon at Aerie. It can only be said that the Kulaisiku band of the Pearl Tear Territory is completely over. This situation can't even be described as a harem fire, it can only be described as a priest's ecstasy—a little boy fell from the sky.)

Sanitta: (Where did you get the harem? I guess I imagined it. And Phoenix throwing the dagger wasn't what you thought it meant. She was just... observing Aerie, testing her, giving her a chance? This has to do with the racial customs of the Flint people. They're similar to elves, but different from humans anyway.)

Rusalka: (Really? They won't become like the chicken, dog, and rice problem of crossing the river, requiring me, the boatman, to follow them every time they go out to prevent a fight, right?)

Sanita reassured him: (No, as long as Aili doesn't take the initiative to provoke Phoenix, then it won't happen.)

Rusalka breathed a sigh of relief, and then he felt relieved. With Ai Li's soft personality like a little lamb, how could he take the initiative to provoke Phoenix, the big devil cat?

But once she closed her eyes and entered the dark space, Rusalka felt increasingly aggrieved, and she continued to seek recognition from her brothers: (Frankly speaking, do you think there was something wrong with how Phoenix fought today? It's fine if she just had her own wild thoughts, but she actually ignored my explanation and went straight for Ai Li with a knife. That's absolutely insane! Although I apologized afterwards, we should speak with conscience. Am I carrying a heavy burden?)

Sanitta replied with a tone of disdain: (Well, as an assassin, Phoenix's senses are much sharper than you think. Since you are already speaking from your conscience, let me ask you, tell me honestly, do you really dislike Rewi Alley?)

Rusalka guiltily avoided a direct answer: (Uh... let's be honest, Rei has this saintly aura, an untainted, innocent, and even yearning for utopian love. Add to that her ethereal looks, her girlish body, and her nun-like attributes, and who wouldn't like her? Who wouldn't yearn for a sweet, Asian-style romance? I'm so envious of Sarolt and Nicea.)

Sanita: (That means you like it.)

Rusalka: (Hey, hey, don't take my words out of context and slander good people. I'm a staunch supporter of pure love. If Phoenix disagrees, I'll definitely remain chaste. Can't you just think about it? As for pulling out a knife!)

Sunita: (What if Phoenix agrees?)

Rusalka replied forcefully: (I respect Phoenix's wishes, resolutely obey Phoenix's arrangements, and follow Phoenix's instructions.)

Sanitta sneered: (Of course, Phoenix knows you very well and knows your thoughts. In addition, you are indeed a noble lord of Snidi. From a human perspective, or even from an orc perspective, it is normal for you to marry a few more here.)

Rusalka: (Don't think so badly of me! I have Phoenix, Theresa, and Hydra, and that's all I need.)

Sometimes it's really hard to have a normal turn-based conversation with Sanita. In the middle of a conversation, a point pops up out of nowhere. If I complain, it feels like it hits the mark, but if I don't complain, it feels uncomfortable: (Isn't this right? You deserve to be stabbed twice.)

Rusalka: (Then let her stab me, stab me as she pleases. The damage she inflicted by stabbing me twice is far less than the health loss she inflicted in the past two hours. So I deserved to be stabbed. Rewi is so cute, why did she stab Rewi?)

Sanitita thought about it and decided not to tell his brother the details of the fact - although it was hard to believe, if she didn't say anything, Rusalka would really be Ai Li's ideal type.

He single-handedly (questionable) fought off the demon lord and saved so many residents from disaster. He even had the courage to make decisions on the spot, which she did not have (although it was an order from the Sani Iron Tower). He even had a charisma value of 20 points, which was the peak of human nature. He was also a nobleman of the kingdom, with countless soldiers and cities under his command. He was ranked in the top ten on the Sinidi wealth list. He was simply the template of a hero in the minds of thousands of girls.

Even above this, Rusalka is actually a paladin, and even though he is the noble lord of Sneidi, who is rumored to have a disordered private life and is extremely licentious, he is very loyal in love. So far, he has only one public wife, Phoenix, and they have been through thick and thin together.

He's got so many buffs stacked up on him, he's a perfect match for Aerie. There's no woman who wouldn't be attracted to him. Could she possibly find a more suitable love interest than Rusalka? It's practically impossible—because Rusalka was created by the system, and system-made items are bound to be top-notch.

Who can compare to the wife of the two-spined newt who turned three-dimensional? Is there a Phoenix in real life?

Even if she said that she didn't like Rusalka, it was just outwardly harsh. She must still be greedy in her heart. It was just that due to the good education she received since childhood, and the pure love thoughts generated by her girlish heart, coupled with the good living environment around her and the kind and upright people, she could only suppress her thoughts and chose to silently bless Phoenix behind her back.

But how could Phoenix not sense it? She had asked that question at the end, almost making it clear. Even Ai Li understood, but only Rusalka didn't understand.

The dagger was not meant to sever ties with the Phoenix, but was given as a permission for Ai Li to hold. When she felt confident in her own strength in the future, she could use the dagger to challenge Phoenix openly. If she was recognized by Phoenix, then Ai Li would be qualified to be the younger one.

Only the strong can follow the strong. The strong joining forces can not only expand their own power, but also allow their offspring to conform to the natural law of survival of the fittest, which is in line with the concept of the Orcs.

But tell Rusalka about this. Rusalka will start to suspect that he is trying to trick him into going on stage to play the clown. This guy is like this. On weekdays, he screams, "Oh my God, look at the time. How can the person who has a crush on me be so still and hasn't confessed to me yet?" If you really tell him, "Actually, someone next door likes you," he will say, "Brother, you are teasing me again. How could she like someone like me? Are you trying to trick me into confessing to you just to make a fool of myself? Do you think I am stupid?"

Anyway, he already has a cat, and the most urgent thing now is to find a way to go home. He doesn't have time to sort out his interpersonal relationships here, and they are such complicated interpersonal relationships - but don't forget, Theresa may possess Rewi Alley, so forget it at this stage. Letting his brothers and Rewi Alley maintain a good social distance is the best solution for Sanita.

When everything is fine and he can go back at any time, he can marry a hundred Ai Li and bring them back to Earth to play harem wars, and the Sanita Tower will respect and bless them.

----

The next day, Rusalka calculated the time to the second for eight hours and ended her long rest in the dark space.

When he jumped out of bed, he felt very light. When he lifted the quilt, he found that Phoenix was gone. There was only a small biscuit in a bag at the head of the bed. Next to it was a small card with an emoticon picture drawn by Ai Li. The content on the card was that it was because of her problem that Rusalka and Phoenix had quarreled. She felt very guilty and made cookies as an apology.

It seemed that Aerie did not recognize the fel energy. After all, she was just a human girl of about twenty years old. She had never seen a demon before Hendaria and knew nothing about the power of fel energy. This made Rusalka, who realized it later, feel relieved.

Besides, even if he recognized her, so what? For someone like her, her 18-year-old best friend could fool her ten times in a minute. Rusalka repeated, not 5%, but at half the rate, five times would definitely be no problem.

Rusalka was in a good mood and started singing: (One day I woke up and saw you weren’t beside me~ On my right was the snack you used to like~?)

Sunny Iron Tower: (I want to hear you sing right after breakfast this morning, right? Are you kidding me? I’m going to throw up!)

Rusalka: (Isn’t it nice? I was in the school choir!)

Sunita: (You know what it feels like when you're concentrating on reading and someone suddenly plays music in your head? That's just as abominable as playing music loudly in the library. I'll hang you on the campus love confession wall!)

Rusalka: (I’m so upset, I’m so sad, please don’t cyberbully me, wuwuwu.)

Ai Li was quite thoughtful in this regard. She prepared one portion each for Phoenix and Rusalka, and then during breakfast, she held it in both hands and handed it to Phoenix, who would definitely appear in the restaurant.

Phoenix accepted the cookies generously. Sunita was right. She wasn't angry at all. "I'll bring it to him."

Ai Li breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily, "Thank you, Sister Phoenix."

Although Phoenix snorted, her ears twitched and her tail started to wag when she heard Aerie addressing her. She had always only called Hydra "sister", or been called "adult", "head maid", "cat" and the like. This was the first time she was called "sister" by a human, how pleasant it sounded.

But according to the cat conservation law, happiness doesn't increase out of thin air; it only transfers from one cat to another. Hydra beside her snorted, picked up a fork and stabbed it into the cake roll. The poor cake roll instantly deflated, the fork piercing through the bottom and making a clattering sound against the plate. "My sister has grown up too. Not long after coming here, she's even found a human sister."

Hydra's favorability towards Aerie is around -5, mainly due to the gossip from the servants at home, who spread rumors about Rusalka and Aerie's relationship, causing Hydra, who dotes on his sister, to label Aerie as a "human thief".

Fortunately, the concepts in this world are very retro. Otherwise, if it were on Earth, if Hydra heard that Aerie dared to have an affair with her brother-in-law, she would probably really draw her weapons and fight Aerie.

Ai Li waved her hands hastily and said to Hydra, "No, no, Sister Hydra, I've always heard about you from the Saint Lady. I admire you very much. If you don't mind, can I call you sister?"

After hearing this, Hydra was slightly satisfied: "Well, that's about right."

Sanitta thought: It's worthy of Rusalka's Law. How could there be normal people around him? From such small details, we can see that this black cat's personality is really weird. Is she determined to become Miss World?

It certainly doesn't matter to my good brother, he can talk about seniority casually, but as for me, if Hydra also wants me to call her sister, the scene would be disgusting enough to think about, and it gives me goosebumps.

So Sanita wisely decided to ignore this little problem. As long as Hydra didn't mention it, he would pretend nothing happened.

Alice moved her chair over and placed it next to Sanita. "Teacher Sanita, I've recently mastered the scorching ray, and my knocking technique has a very high success rate. Should I learn the fireball technique next? Or the one that allows the fireball to fly freely?"

Sanitieta knew the second spell she was talking about was "Blazing Orb." "Learn the second one, called Blazing Orb. It's a little simpler than Fireball, and it also allows you to understand and become familiar with 'stable structure.' If you master it, it will lay a solid foundation for learning semi-stable structure fire magic later."

Alice nodded with sparkling eyes.

Shana turned sideways, looking as if she wanted to move over like Alijie but hesitated. In the end, as if out of shame, she didn't move her chair. Instead, she inched her body a little at a time, eventually maintaining a strange sitting position with most of her butt off the chair and leaning towards this side. "I've also learned the fire enchantment here, and now I can create a stable heating rune."

Sanita nodded and praised, "That's not bad. It's time to teach you the next step, the fire enchantment rune. But while you're learning this, I can recommend two skilled blacksmiths in the barracks. You can take some time to go to them and learn the forging techniques of the furnace fire.

Although forging and magic themselves may sound unrelated, they share the same origin. Since you want to learn how to enchant equipment and items, mastering the forging techniques and material properties of the equipment will also help you gain an understanding of the structural strength of the equipment and alchemical items themselves, and will give you an intuitive understanding of the location of enchantments and the adaptability of materials.

After all, books only contain theoretical knowledge, and the actual equipment parameters must be tested by yourself."

Shana was overjoyed, but she still wore a haughty expression. "Simple things like this are a given for me. Although my natural talent played a large role, Mr. Sanitieta's guidance was also somewhat helpful. So... well... ahem, I heard your birthday is coming up soon. What do you want? I can buy it for you as a return gift."

Sanita had never talked about her birthday, and she immediately knew that it must have been Rusalka who told her.

But the elf still remembered, which was quite thoughtful: "I hope to receive a qualified Explosive Crystal Enchantment before next year."

Shana bared her teeth: "What do you mean? I'm sure I can learn it in a few days!"

She stuffed the bread into her mouth and prepared to go practice.

Alice: "What about me? What about me? How about I use magic to pry open Teacher Sanitieta's door!"

The Sani Iron Tower Clam couldn't stand it any longer. Not to mention that his door was set with a barrier, he suspected that if the knocking spell couldn't open it, the guy would get angry and blow the door open: "Haha, forget it, it's better than anything else if you can't blow yourself up."

Alice pouted.

Chapter 220 Hydra's Prophecy of World Destruction

Since the two elves and Aerie maintain a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early every day when they are not on missions or fighting, if they want to listen to Hydra's stories without attracting onlookers, they must spend their time in the kingdom sandbox session in the library in the evening.

It is normal for cats to stay up late, especially Phoenix, who does not allow Rusalka to sleep at night, and allows herself to sleep anywhere in the shadow plane during the day.

Hydra's daily routine was a bit weird. Sanitta suspected that she might have been infused with too much Holy Light and was so energetic that she didn't need to sleep. Anyway, he had never seen Hydra get up earlier or later than him.

You have to know that his and Rusalka's long rest is fixed at eight hours, not a second more or less. In other words, Hydra only sleeps eight hours a day at most, and definitely far less than eight hours, and she can still maintain her spirit and combat effectiveness. There is not even a trace of fatigue on her body.

Apart from her obsession with being a big sister, she is efficient, precise, hardworking, enthusiastic, and very kind. She is humble and will help the servants with simple matters when she is working alone. She will also practice with Harukaze/Castor and others, and instruct the guards on combat techniques. Combined with her holy light, one really wonders who is the lord between her and Rusalka.

In just a few days, she established good relationships with everyone in the City Lord's Mansion and gained a firm foothold in the City Lord's Mansion. Her status was even higher than that of the elves. She was simply the perfect Paladin version of the extroverted Phoenix.

So, who is the time traveler?

Modern people's view of staying up late is generally like Rusalka's: "It's not that I can't bear to sleep, nor am I staying up late. Can you please not use the time of 8:00 PM to check me? If you use the time of 4:00 PM, don't I also get up at 8:00 AM and go to bed at 11:00 PM? Isn't this also a form of early to bed, early to rise?"

What? Time is a human invention. Who said the 24-hour clock has to align with the sun? Copernicus' heliocentric theory, right? Okay, I like you, a loyal and outspoken minister. Come on, let's get him on the grill with Copernicus!

Therefore, the nights in Pearl Tears Territory are reserved for the servants on night shift, the two cats who stay up late in the library, and the two modern people who stay up late.

Very good overnight combination, makes my hair spin.

Hydra was not reading today because Rusalka and Sanita were playing, so she was sitting next to Phoenix, that is, sitting on Rusalka's side, watching the situation on the kingdom sandbox.

She didn't know how to play this, so Rusalka explained the rules to her while he was playing, trying to get the newbie into the game so that he wouldn't seem like the worst.

After familiarizing herself with the rules, she watched for another ten minutes before criticizing Rusalka's moves. "That's not right! If the opponent plays like that, you'll lose points."

Rusalka glanced at her. He had always been curious about how Hydra could see the things around her with her eyes closed. Was she secretly squinting?

But just when he was about to say, "How can you, a newbie, be so uncultured, just watching the game in silence!", he found that what she said was absolutely right, so he immediately raised his hands and put them down quickly, praised Hydra as a "genius!", and then withdrew the move he had just made in a very uncultured manner.

He almost subconsciously went over to touch Hydra's head just now, as he was used to touching Phoenix.

After spending some time with Rusalka in the library that evening playing Kingdom Sandbox, Hydra inevitably felt a little disillusioned with the image of Rusalka she had held in her mind. Turning to Phoenix, she asked, "Is he usually like this?"

Phoenix nodded.

Haidera pursed his lips, as if he was helpless as if he saw his daughter picked an ugly son-in-law: "Okay, as long as you are happy."

"What are you saying? It's like I'm abusing her." Rusalka was struggling with her thoughts and was unhappy with what Hydra and Phoenix were whispering about her. "Haven't you heard how good I am to Phoenix?"

Hydra said sarcastically with an indifferent look on his face, "Really? I heard that you had a fight with my sister over that little nun a few days ago."

Rusalka was speechless. Although this was a misunderstanding, from an objective perspective, it was exactly what Hydra said. This story had spread like wildfire in the city lord's mansion. It was really a case of having one's crotch stained with mud and misleading historians.

But the four of us here are all family, brothers. He figured Hydra was only half joking, and Phoenix must have explained this to her, so he simply resorted to using the brotherly saying, "Fighting is love, scolding is affection. Doesn't this fussing show how vibrant our relationship is? There's energy on both sides."

Hydra reacted quickly, using the opponent's force to counterattack: "Really? Then do you love my sister?"

Rusalka was about to say that of course he loved her, but he was put on the spot by what he had just said. Saying that he didn't love her was like scolding Phoenix. How could that be justified?

Phoenix also glanced over here, as if waiting for Rusalka's answer.
