What did you do with the dice?

"I give in. That's an interjection. All of you follow me."

"Humans are so complicated."

A group of elves followed one after another, complaining that it was boring.

Hard, Rusalka’s fist was hard.

But to say they weren't serious was a mistake. They lined up neatly, and the team leader took attendance. He then reported to Rusalka, "Team Tallinn was supposed to have 21 people, but only 19 showed up. Shana and Alijie were absent due to work, but the rest are ready. Report complete, please give your instructions!"

Hmm~ That's right, this is the Ranger Team I wanted! Very good, this cream cake was not in vain!

"So why Taryn?"

"I don't know. Captain Shana gave it the name."

The big forest of Sani Tower, right?

Very good! Double up on the buttercream cake!

Chapter 338 Wedding Eve

Apart from Sanita, the second most serious person at this wedding was not Rusalka, but Hydra.

Thinking back to those days, she had gone through hardships and tortures along the way. Even though she was blinded and beaten to the brink of death by the Demon Lord, and faced the almost impossible return charge launched by the El Empire, she had no emotions at that time, and was brave enough to face death without even blinking an eye.

And now, while helping to decorate, she pulled Phoenix and cried loudly, crying so hard that her face looked like a little cat. It was so sad to hear it and to see it that even Rusalka almost couldn't help but throw a basin in front of her, pour some cat food in it, and shout "Mimi, come here".

Rusalka: (This sister-in-law is unacceptable. Her sister and brother-in-law cried like this on their wedding day. If you don’t know, you might think I accidentally sent it before the wedding, as if Phoenix suddenly became a widow. How unlucky! This black cat is so unlucky, even darker than my crow’s mouth!)

Sunita: (Well, I think you are more skilled than me for coming up with these ideas.)

This is also the reason why Rusalka can now wander around alone without any care in the world, because Phoenix is ​​controlled by Hydra and can no longer act as a small camera.

Hydra was now incoherent: "You know, Phoenix, (sobbing), when I held you, you were so small. Now I didn't expect that one day, you would grow up so big and no longer need me. Wuu - (sobbing)."

But Rusalka was being frank. He felt that Hydra had left Phoenix alone for two hundred years, and now she had made her look like an old mother who was reluctant to let go. It was really hard for him to resist making a joke.

In order not to destroy the family relationship with her future sister-in-law, Rusalka still retained a certain conscience and quality, and chose to go alone, out of sight, out of mind - as long as I don't listen to the material, I can fundamentally cut off the source of bad jokes!

Rusalka kicked the snow, sending it flying.

Damn it! My cat, Zhu Lei, who I have raised for two hundred years, actually picked peaches for her. I feel so bad!

Rusalka found it ridiculous just by thinking about it. He couldn't help but think of countless evil jokes from hell. In order to suppress his evil thoughts, he found Rewi Alley, who was also busy choosing a wedding dress at the scene, and tried to use the little mascot to awaken the moral condemnation in his heart.

Rusalka called out to her, startling her as she was absorbed in stroking her wedding dress. She retracted her hand as if struck by lightning, quickly turned around, and knotted her hands in front of her. "Lord...Lord Pearl Tear, ah, now Grand Duke Pearl Tear, um, I'm helping Phoenix choose a dress. I don't mean anything else. I'll be right there to help."

This little Ai Li is a good person. Not only does she not talk back, assign tasks for herself, scold herself, or beat herself with her tail, but most importantly, she also comes with the blessing of the God of Light.

Speaking of this, Rusalka remembered that when she went to Estelon this time, she had to ask her if there was any trace of the wizard. If there was, she would get rid of him for her as a way of repaying her favor.

She was only short of four blessings. If the other party had the guts to conjure up some god to protect her with blessings, then she would have to listen to her good brother's advice. Otherwise, Rusalka would not let go of any NPC she disliked - at least before seeing it with his own eyes, he, like Sanita, treated others as NPCs.

The difference is that even after meeting and spending some time with the living person, Sanita still treated the person as an NPC, and Rusalka couldn't bear to do that.

He also mocked Rusalka for being a typical example of someone with unstable mind. He was full of bold words when he traveled through time, but became silent after a while. Now he started talking nonsense. Five!

Facing the ridicule of her good brother, Rusalka was unconcerned: (I have already walked on my own path in life. Even if the storms ahead are so strong that it makes it difficult for me to walk, even if there are thorns everywhere that leave me covered with scars, I will still face them with a smile.)

Sani Tieta: (Nonsense, the reason you can laugh is because I have endured all the hardships you should have endured. Have you ever seen the sun rising over the horizon of Sinidi at four in the morning?)

Rusalka couldn't argue with Sanita, so she could only start rambling: (Uh, I don't really pay attention to what's outside the window, because usually when I'm not asleep at 4 a.m., I'm usually in the "Phoenix Desperate Battle" dungeon. If you open your friends list, you should see that my status is level 3 exhaustion.)

Rusalka was very generous to Aerie. After all, she had reattached Phoenix's hand, which was much better than the two elves who could only rip off their good brother's surplus value. "These were made by the tailor that Baron Whitemire brought. He said if there were no gifts, he would give some clothes. But he made too many. Do you want any, Aerie? Take whatever you like."

It was several degrees below zero outside, and Rusalka only needed one sentence to make Ai Li's head steam up. She waved her hands hurriedly and shook her head at Rusalka: "Eh? This, this, this... This is not good. After all, these are prepared by you for Phoenix. If I accept this, she will be unhappy, right? I, I just want to take a look."

Having said that, her body was honest and she kept glancing at the wedding dresses from the corner of her eyes.

"What's wrong with that? If you reattach Phoenix's hand, you'll be reattaching Master Lu's thigh. Take it as a reward!"

Rusalka pointed a finger at Rei, who was spinning uncomfortably and hesitantly. "Why are you so nervous? Hey! Phoenix's not here, Rei, let me tell you a tailor joke. One day, a tailor got tired of the endless life of working the sewing machine to alter clothes for the lord, but he didn't want to be fired, so he started to slack off. When his crime was discovered, he was thrown into prison. But in prison, he had to undergo labor reform. Guess what job he was assigned? Haha, working the sewing machine again!"

Of course, if the joke ended here, it wouldn't even be a bad joke, so Rusalka continued as a matter of course:

"Later, the lord visited him in prison and asked him if he was still lazy and slacking off. He said no, no, I won't be lazy anymore, let me out. The lord asked him if he was tired and wanted to continue in prison. He quickly replied, no, no, labor is the most glorious thing."

Rushaka paused, then burst into laughter at Ai Li's puzzled look, saying, "Tired? Labor, labor, haha!"

Well, Ai Li had no way of understanding the funny part of this sentence and could only laugh awkwardly along in confusion.

"To sum up, hard workers deserve food. I don't have any other rewards to give you. I can't give you half of my Pearl Tears Ring, or I'll have to leave the house with nothing. There are 20 or 30 wedding dresses of different styles and sizes here. Phoenix is ​​not a little bald girl who can keep stacking armor. She can only wear two at most. More is useless. You can just pick a few you like and take them away. Don't worry, Phoenix doesn't know, so I won't tell her, right?"

Ai Li finally couldn't resist Rusalka's persuasion. He randomly pulled a few pieces from the hanger, folded them carefully, and put them into the bag beside him. "Okay."

After Rusalka finished telling Ai Li that awful joke, he felt much better. He felt healed, so he waved and prepared to leave. He heard Ai Li say to him from behind, "I'll cherish it!"

"Oh, okay!"

"Um... Three years from now, if we're both still alive, can I go to Esdie's hometown and wear it?"

"It's up to you. I've already given it to you. You can put it on Xianyu."

Ai Li was confused again. Why was the wedding dress hung on the salted fish? Shouldn't it be hung on a clothes hanger? Was this some kind of custom that she wasn't aware of?

But seeing that Rusalka seemed to be really about to leave, she hurriedly shouted: "Then, when the time comes, will you help me pick out the best one?"

"Don't worry, I promise to help you pick one with the best attributes. It won't cost you anything if it's not strong. You'll be snapped up when you go to dungeons in the future. I guarantee you'll have the highest AC (defense) among all the priests!"

Well, although Ai Li didn't quite understand what Rusalka meant, maybe this was the traditional custom of Sinidi, and it was normal for her not to understand it. In short, it sounded like a positive meaning, so he agreed, right?

She picked up the bag, smiled sweetly, and ran towards her room in small steps.

----

The night before their wedding, Rusalka slept in separate rooms from Phoenix, a rare occurrence. The reason was that Hydra wanted to have a long talk with Maomao all night and tell her not to be fooled by Rusalka, a bad man, because this guy from another world would definitely tell lies five out of ten times.

Rusalka thought: You are totally wrong, lying is a trick used by vulgar people. Nine out of ten of my sentences are jokes that are more real than real gold. You slander me for lying and you are simply looking down on my knowledge!

But he held back and just chuckled, saying, "My sister-in-law is right. All men are pigs. I promise to be good to Phoenix in the future."

Then Hydra talked about what aspects should be paid attention to after getting married.

Rusalka had only been in for a few minutes and wanted to hear what Hydra had to say about her. He blocked the first sentence with the defense he had developed from surfing on Earth for more than 20 years. But in the second paragraph, Hydra talked about the precautions after pregnancy. She just continued the topic from the daytime and said that the Filin people also have limits. Even if they go to the battlefield after pregnancy, they must pay attention to the range of motion. Each battle should not exceed one hour.

This caused Rusalka to lose her composure and she couldn't help laughing on the spot.

No, sister, it's not that I'm not giving you face. It's just that the way you talk nonsense so seriously is so funny.

Don’t laugh at the challenge, the challenge will fail!

Don't just laugh, you have to have production capacity! So Rusalka opened her mouth and said, "Awesome, this kid was taught to drive a mecha in the womb, and he has a year of actual combat experience right after birth. Wouldn't it be a great show if he had him in EVA?"

Although Hydra didn't understand what he meant, the way he smiled was really vulgar, and it was obvious that he wasn't saying anything nice. In addition, Phoenix next to him had already revealed an aggressive posture, so it couldn't be a nice thing!

So he got what he wanted and was knocked out of the room by a combined blow from Hydra's hammer and Phoenix's fist.

Looking at the door slamming shut in front of her, Rusalka angrily brushed off the nonexistent dust on her body: (Brother, this bitch is totally unreasonable. Let's go out for a drink! The weather is perfect now, the wind and snow will make us drunk, and we'll keep drinking all night!)

Sanita: (Damn you! You're getting married tomorrow, and I need to count and confirm the number of gifts. Then I need to send people to clear the snow all night long and make sure the heating runes are functioning properly. And did you forget? You have to go to the Gods' Council tonight.)

He had indeed forgotten that the God's Council was a bit like menstruation, coming once a month, which was quite regular. However, during the previous war, not all the people were present, so he, Theresa, and that Warfarin did not attend. The others also seemed to have something to do, so the meeting was put on hold. After skipping it twice, and with so much going on recently, Rusalka forgot about it.

Alas, when one reaches middle age, one has no control over one's own destiny. He was kicked out of his sister-in-law's room by his wife and sister-in-law. Even his wish to have a few drinks with his brothers has become so far away. The sense of vicissitudes of life has suddenly become overwhelming. Otherwise, why do people say that marriage is the grave of love? After the marriage, Rusalka didn't know that if he and Phoenix joined forces, how many pairs of warring mandarin ducks would be sent to the grave.

He sighed, now that his brother ignored the cat and didn't love it, what else could he do? He could only go back to his room, wash up, change his clothes, lie down and wait for the God Council to meet.

What's wrong with the dream world? At least Theresa wears very little in it!

However, before entering the meeting, this time is also wasted. Why not make use of your spare time like your brothers from now on? As the saying goes, the lower the situation, the greater the room for improvement. My intelligence is 5, and there is no room for decline. My good brothers can go from 18 to 19, so maybe I can reach 6 by reading two books, right?

So Rusalka took out the "Noble Etiquette" on the bedside table and turned to the wedding chapter. Cramming before the exam is also an important part that must be appreciated.

Are you tired?

I'm tired, so I don't work.

Forget it, I’ll wait for the second marriage exam.

Snap, just open the book and cover your face with it, then click long break.

It wasn't long before Rusalka was pulled into the meeting.

Oh! It's Theresa in joy form!

She was completely naked, with only a few key parts covered by a faint pink mist, looking as seductive as if she was bathing in a hot spring.

However, she was not the one presiding over the meeting today. Instead, the God of Truth spoke calmly, "The End has declared war on the gods. I believe that among you, there is one who is the Messenger of the End."

But no one was moved, and even the upright Taurus sneered.

What?! The Messenger of the End has infiltrated our midst!

Oh, who is it? It's so hard to guess.

Rusalka wanted to express surprise, but it seemed too contrived, and she looked around again, realizing there were only seven people left in the council.

[Taurus] [Virgo] [Libra] [Capricorn] [Aquarius] [Pisces] and myself, [Gemini].

Alas, it’s not easy to be a bad guy these days.

Chapter 339 A fish came from the west. What fish? A big mullet.

I knew that [Sagittarius] Warfarin was dead, but I didn't expect that [Aries] and [Cancer] also died in such a short period of time.

As for who did it, there is almost no need to guess. They can just shoot the arrow first and then set up the target.

On second thought, Theresa's injuries haven't healed yet, so isn't she acting a little too quickly?

Sanitta: (Aries previously said that the goddess of pleasure had appeared miraculously, pointing the way to paradise. But in fact, we already know that the goddess of pleasure's chosen one is Theresa, so I guess she has already designed a trap to lure and kill the last remaining believers of pleasure who are hiding somewhere in the world.)

Rusalka: (But she already has a belief in joy, why would she do this?)

Sanitita: (Because she knows she can't collect them all by herself, but there might be someone in this world who shares her goal. As long as she guarantees to monopolize one of them, it will definitely turn into a situation where you two will eventually have to face off. Isn't this motivation enough?)

Rusalka: (What if the test of the goddess of pleasure isn't actually a fight, but some kind of triggering mechanism?)

Sanitta: (Then she has eliminated your simplest and most brutal method of obtaining blessings. How lucky do you have to be able to accurately predict the triggering mechanism of each god's blessing?)

Rusalka smiled proudly: (Is 100 points enough?)

Sanita took a deep breath and said: (Damn, maybe you really are such a fool!)

So how did Cancer disappear? If we use the process of elimination, the God of Truth himself should also correspond to a grid, which happens to be Cancer.

He continued, "I've sent followers to Hell. Only five of the six ancient lords remain. Aside from the Blood Lord Rezak, whose legacy remains, the remaining four have been replaced by newcomers in the long struggle. The Ever-Changing Lord's old wounds haven't healed, but with the blessing of the Apocalypse, his strength has likely increased rather than decreased. The rest of the demonic legions have also long since recovered to their peak. If the Apocalypse Messenger intervenes and the war is brought forward, the current Main Plane will likely face destruction."

"In three years, fellow believers, lead your respective forces and prepare. I will wait and see who will survive to the end."

Oh, that’s not surprising. It turns out that Cancers are so helpless. They are really gold medal deliverymen who go straight to hell to deliver goods.

As for the identity of the messenger of the end mentioned by the God of Truth, everyone actually has their own answer in their hearts, and I believe their direction must be very clear.

Rusalka thought that since it was a multiple-choice question, there would be no loss of points for choosing Theresa or herself.

During the intelligence exchange, since everyone already knew that the Messenger of the End was among this group of people, they naturally wanted to make full use of the Messenger of the End's special characteristics.

Aquarius: "The sea princess Weishas has secretly escaped. Now the entire kingdom is searching for her. Her destination must be the Kingdom of Snidi. She has traveled across the entire continent and passed through Esdi. She also has the blessing of the sea god on her."

She stopped there, but the implication was clear: no matter who the Messenger of the End is, find her out and kill her immediately!

Weishas?

Rusalka felt that the name sounded a bit strange. It was obviously a normal female name, but there was an indescribable weird feeling when she read it, as if the other party would blow herself up and send herself to the grave when she appeared.

Libra laughed and said, "What a coincidence! Yali Qiweiya, a member of our Inquisition and one of the six jurors, is a prophetic mage. She recently made up a fable, saying that a mermaid will come from the west and destroy her and the Inquisition."

"Of course, I'm more inclined to believe the former is true. The latter might just be an exaggeration to attract the judge's attention. After all, the word 'destruction' can have a very flexible meaning. If a sophisticated tool loses one-seventh of its structure, it can still be considered destroyed."

"We originally thought her prophecy was wrong. There's not even an ocean to the west, so where would the mermaids come from? Esterlen has captured mermaids before, but smuggling them out of the country is strictly prohibited. With such heavy surveillance, there's no way the mermaids could have escaped to the west."

"However, the mermaid princess Vishas of the sea tribe that Aquarius mentioned must have passed through Esterlun at the end of her journey, yet she never revealed herself. I'm quite surprised that she was able to slip through the borders under the nose of the Inquisition. Perhaps there is some connection between the two. Coupled with the blessing of the gods on her, perhaps her prophecy will actually come true, hehe."

"Of course. I actually hope the Inquisition will be destroyed. As long as the Inquisition survives, the truth will remain hidden. If you intend to add fuel to the fire, I'd like to make this clear in advance. I can offer some support in secret."

Libra paused, then turned towards Rusalka, smiling slightly. "Also, if any of you want to protect Vesas and see if the prophecy comes true, please be careful of the assassins from Esterlen. While the Inquisition appears to be aboveboard and impartial, it's actually a nefarious organization operating under the guise of collusion and control over countless scavenger squads."

"Once the mermaid's whereabouts are exposed, she will inevitably be subject to countless assassination attempts along the way. Even with the mermaid's immortality and the blessings of the sea people, she will be severely weakened after reaching shore and will probably be unable to escape. Esterlun inherited most of the Time Lord's technology, and some of his magic items are very powerful. They can drive the sea people back to the coastline. Don't underestimate the enemy, okay?"

An assassin from Esterlen?

Rusalka couldn't help but smile. Can these scavengers you mentioned be as good as our Sinidi's cat-catching team?

What is there to say?
