What did you do with the dice?

Rusalka was startled by the voice of his good friend in the private chat channel: (Oh my god, isn't it true that upgrade rooms can't communicate with each other? Did you finally fix this bug after upgrading to level 16? Then what are you hiding in? You're in the process of memory recovery now, why didn't you tell me what to buy earlier!)

Sanita: (I couldn't communicate with you just after leveling up. Now that the special progress rewards have been selected and we're in a long rest, I can certainly communicate with you. So why did you choose 2 instead of 3?)

Rusalka hesitated and asked uncertainly: (Brother, did I make the wrong choice?)

Sunny Tower: (No, I think you made the right choice. Rather, all of these options are actually okay. Any of them wouldn't be bad, but the only one that might be bad is option 3, and I thought you'd choose that. I almost thought you'd definitely choose that. Why?)

Rusalka cursed: (Then what are you talking about? You scared me and I thought I missed something big.)

When Sanitta thought he saw the growth and plasticity of human beings, Rusalka destroyed his comfort with just one sentence.

Rusalka: (The description of the effect of 2 is so long, I haven't read it yet, but I feel that the longer one must be stronger, so I chose it.)

Sanita was shocked: (Is this how you choose your abilities?)

Rusalka immediately denied it: (Actually, that's not true. I was just kidding. The key reason I chose it was that it was the only one with the [Pearl Tears] field in its name and effect. Having the Pearl Tears field means it must be the strongest, easy question.)

Five wisdoms that defy the will of heaven.

Sunita can only be thankful that the system does not inflate the word count and become a title party for the copywriting.

Chapter 390: Ripan Weishasi visits the Pearl Tears Territory

For the people of this world, life after winning a war is the most pleasant time. Even the most stingy nobles will be exempted from various taxes and labor service after winning a battle, and hold celebrations in the territory in which everyone can participate.

The Pearly Territory was particularly lively after every war. On the one hand, the Pearly Territory had never lost a battle since Rusalka came. On the other hand, Rusalka was different from other stingy Sinedi nobles. Sanitieta had no intention of turning the Pearly Territory into a "four generations of three officials" in this world, so he naturally would not think about hoarding money. So every time he snatched good things, he would take out a part of it and use it in activities organized with his own money.

Practice makes perfect. Many residents who already knew what to do next had already spontaneously prepared a large amount of food and handmade decorations and stored them at home. They planned to take advantage of the opportunity of Sanita's announcement of the banquet to sell them in large quantities to Lord Rusalka for holding activities, so that they could also make a small profit.

As for the soldiers, they were the happiest. They lined up in an orderly manner to find the quartermaster to receive their military rewards. They had money and free time, just like they had received a year-end bonus or project payment, so naturally they wanted to spend it.

Merchants were like hyenas smelling prey, stocking up on ample supplies and flocking to the roads near Silver City to set up stalls and hawk their wares. Even though it was only the beginning and middle of July, the surrounding area was already festooned with lights and decorations, as lively as if it were Chinese New Year.

Elves are the most popular customers at the market because they are very generous, never bargain, and will definitely spend all their money on some meaningless handmade exquisite garbage.

Rusalka always wondered about their consumption concepts: "Why do you buy these?"

"Because you humans only need to collect one gold, silver, or copper coin. More coins won't be as beautiful or fun as these. We should display these at home."

Rusalka thought these elves were quite family-oriented, unlike Alizee and Shana, who abandoned the forest once they had men. So she asked, "When are you planning to return to the Elf Forest?"

When he asked this question, all the elves in the room looked at each other, and no one said a word.

He just mumbled something like, "Let's play for a while longer," or "Silver City is home too," which was hilarious.

He says he loves his family, but his body is honest. He votes with his feet. He doesn't like anything you say and doesn't answer any questions.

But life in Silver City is good. In the Elf Forest, you have to get your own food, but here you don’t even have to do the preparatory work. The delicious processed food will even be served on your table. If you want to find someone to play with, you can just go to the next camp or training ground. The soldiers there will line up to sign up for fun. You can even slack off (Vishas). Rusalka doesn’t assign them tasks every day. On the battlefield, you don’t have to summon tree people as the front line. You can use the woods as cover. There are human infantry in front to hold the line, which is very safe.

Don’t you think this life is comfortable? Although this is not home, the elf feels that he can make the whole world his home.

But Rusalka thought about it and felt that it wasn't a long-term solution for them to stay with her in Silver City. In a few years, she and Sanitita might return to Earth. What would they do then? If she gave it to Hydra, would she accept it?

Rusalka was also bored, so she started doing the classic Earth habit of having nothing to do after eating—chatting with someone about life, ideals, and the future. "Since you're planning to live here, why don't you save some money and buy a small house for yourselves? What if Sanita and I are no longer around?"

Those elves had a different outlook on life from Rusalka. They used to live in tree holes and thought that the worst that could happen to them was that they would return to the tree holes.

"But a small house is too expensive. Just having a place to sleep is enough. I spent so much money and got nothing just to live in one place. How boring."

These words don't sound like something that could be said by the elves who have lived in the Elf Forest for thousands of years. They have finally opened their eyes to the world, right?

Several elves also nodded in agreement: "Yeah, money can't be used to eat, so why not use it to exchange for food?"

Rusalka felt that their excessive happiness was causing her unhappiness, so she asked, "What will you do when you get married and start a family? Will you also be living without food?"

The elves were very surprised by Rusalka's "concern" because in the Elf Forest, no one would care about the marriage of an elf without a bracelet on her hand, because if she didn't even have a bracelet, it meant that no one was interested in her. Moreover, their view on love was very "long-lasting", and they believed that so-called love was something that came naturally with the baptism of time.

Rusalka, a member of the opposite sex, suddenly came over to ask them about marriage, which inevitably caused misunderstandings among them, a race whose view on love is "efficient in locking in pursuit and inefficient in advancing the process."

"Lord Pearl Tear asked this question. Are you planning to pursue one of us?"

"But you already have a Flint mate."

"Unfaithful."

Provoking a chain of contempt from the elves wasn't a big deal. Rusalka was mainly worried about Phoenix causing another misunderstanding nearby, so she immediately retorted, "Stop talking nonsense! How could I possibly be interested in you? Ask yourselves, are you better off than Phoenix? She's an almighty white-haired cat maid. Let's not even talk about the difference in combat power. You can't even match her in life skills. Can you even cook?"

The group of elves immediately shook their heads and sighed.

"Alas, you shortsighted human."

You're not satisfied anyway, right?

They also specifically listed several advantages that they believed Rusalka had over Phoenix:

"We can do magic."

"We are smarter than the Ferlin."

Rusalka: "You're just bragging! Especially that last part. Why don't you tell me how you're smarter than Phoenix? I don't see it at all."

Sunita: (That's true. Phoenix's choice to marry you was already unwise.)

Rusalka: (Shut up!)

"We can do arithmetic."

Rusalka pointed at Phoenix, who appeared beside him and called him to eat. "Phoenix can do it too! Come on, cat, what's 111+11?"

Phoenix tilted her head, reached out her hand and grabbed a handful of copper coins from the black fog. After thinking for a while, she ran into the black fog.

After a while, she brought over a maid who had been accompanying her on her shopping errands. The latter glanced at Rusalka and the group of elves and replied weakly, "My Lord, the answer is 122, right?"

Rusalka was a little embarrassed: Cat, you really don’t know how to do it?

No, our Pearly Tear leader’s maid for generations can’t do arithmetic. Is that reasonable?

Well, she doesn't care about money, which seems pretty reasonable.

The second rule of Internet King is not to fight against the wind, retreat!

"Look, Phoenix knows how to unite other races and utilize their strength. This is the talent that a superior should have. How smart! Unlike you, who only stick to your own ways and are ignorant! Let's go, cat, let's go eat and ignore these elves."

----

It was another sunny day, and the elves gathered on the grass to sing and play, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Rusalka brought Vishas and motioned everyone to come and enjoy the duet performance that he and Vishas had been rehearsing for several days.

The elves were also bored, so they followed him to a temporary stage built by Vishas.

Rusalka produced a baton, waved it in the air in a mock gesture, and said, "Yuyu, ready, go! There's a deck that becomes increasingly isolated the more it's played."

Weishas continued, "That's the Heyday of Pearly Tears!"

Rusalka: "No one here asks you the time."

Weishas: "Everyone is playing on their phones in their own turns."

Rusalka: "I want to ask what your strength is."

Weishas: "K Club can ban your entire family's ID."

Rusalka: “You said you were number one in pie charts.”

Weishas leaped up and spun in the air. "But there's not a single full-length picture."

Rusalka exploded with a holy light special effect: "Not sleeping in the middle of the night."

Weishas: "Come to the battle room."

Rusalka: "I'll throw Zhu Guang at your monster effect."

Weishasi: "Now the grave party is here."

Rusalka: "The pile is crazy."

Visas: "The platoon chain is like a revolver//pistol."

Rusalka: "Yuyu just started moving his hands again."

Weishas raised her hands and cheered, creating a fountain of scattered water around her: "Can you give me some movement?"

The man and the fish bowed slightly to the elves in the audience.

But the elves clearly couldn't understand this transcendental performance art. They looked at each other in bewilderment, unsure whether to applaud or not.

"What are you talking about?"

"I don't understand anything."

"Is the show over?"

"Lord Pearl Tear, can we go now?"

"hungry."

Rusalka waved them off, inwardly furious. "I've painstakingly rehearsed with Vesas for three days, and they don't even appreciate it! Alas, these uneducated, foolish elves, incapable of understanding true art!" Fortunately, Vesas exists in this world, a mermaid who resonates with me. Otherwise, this world would never experience a Renaissance and would be trapped in a barbaric, dark age.

Sanitieta was forced to watch this whole segment in the private chat channel. After days of training and bombing without feeling anything, this one actually broke him down mentally: (I can't stand this any more. You know she's just a special water elemental, and she's just imitating you instead of truly understanding what you're saying, so why are you still teaching her this nonsense!)

Rusalka was unconvinced: (What water element? If I say she's a narcissus merman, then she's a narcissus merman! And it's because Phoenix won't play with me, so I can only find Vishas. Ever since I married Maomao, she's no longer the little cat who obeyed me in everything. Man, she's changed. Doesn't she love me anymore?)

Sanitieta was speechless: (When did you develop these hallucinations and filters about Phoenix during a hysterical attack? I wonder when she has ever been so obedient to you? Also, I think she is right not to play with you. If she learns from you, I will think I am sick.)

Just as Rusalka was about to start a duel with his good brother, the "audience" in front of him all dispersed. Phoenix then walked out of the black mist beside him, pulled his arm with her tail, and said, "Go back."

Weishas knew they were about to leave, so she tried to persuade them to stay, saying, "Eh? Lord Pearl Tear is leaving now? Play with me for a while longer. Cat, come too!"

Rusalka shook her head and said, "No, Yuyu, I'm already married to Phoenix. I can't play around every day after I get married. I have to accompany her."

Weishas didn't quite understand. In a sense, she was even simpler than Ai Li, like a blank sheet of paper. "What does it mean to get married?"

Rusalka used a rather romantic explanation, mainly to improve Phoenix's favorability, hoping that one day the cat would understand and cooperate with his art: "Marriage means being together with another person for the rest of your life."

But what he didn't expect was that Weisha's eyes immediately lit up and she said to him, "Then I want to marry you too!"

Oh no! Phoenix's eyes flashed coldly as she glanced at her. Rusalka, who was gaining hatred, was so frightened that she swore. "Fuck, don't talk nonsense, fish friend! If you say something wrong, we'll go from fish friends to prison mates."

Weishas looked at Phoenix again. Seeing that Rusalka didn't agree, she decided to save the situation in a roundabout way: "Cat, I want to marry you!"

Phoenix was stunned for a moment, then his expression softened. But now it was Rusalka's turn to get anxious: "No way!"

Weishas said angrily, "Stingy, why?"

Ah, what a great assist! Coincidentally, Rusalka happens to know how to solve this deadly fill-in-the-blank problem. Returning to her original intention, she continued to improve her favorability: "Because generally speaking, you can only marry the person you love most in the world."

Sanita: (What do you mean, there are special circumstances? I see you don't think that way at all. Instead, you think Phoenix is ​​too submissive to you, right?)

Rusalka coughed awkwardly at first, but he and his brother reacted quickly and immediately changed the subject: (Hey, that's not right. I have a friend who wants to marry two elves. I'd like to ask if this is considered an exception to the norm, Lawyer?)

Sanita's silence was deafening. He pondered for a moment before replying, "That needs to be discussed separately. Simultaneously and successively. These two sequences represent different qualities. Yours is quite bad. I suggest you try seaweed egg drop soup, without the cauliflower or the soup."

Rushaka immediately laughed at him for finding his own weakness. Now he couldn't win the battle in the laning phase. He deserved it!

Visha nodded to show that she understood. Due to this unknown "friendly" and "submissive" characteristic in her, she was quite well-behaved and obedient.

Rusalka has fought in this world all his life, relying on Hamlet's Shield, the Twelve Trials, and the novice level 3 armor on his body. Even the gods themselves cannot destroy these things. He believes that there is no one else in the world who can break his defense line.

But Vishas broke his defense with just the next sentence.

"Then can I marry my mother? Everyone else says she is in the Kingdom of God now. I really want to meet her and take her back to the sea to play with me for the rest of my life."

Rusalka slapped herself in her heart: I deserve to die.

He and Phoenix, the cat, exchanged a glance. Seeing Phoenix's helpless look, he understood that the cat had agreed. He couldn't help but sigh, patted Weisha's icy little head, and said, "Yuyu, your mother is very busy in God's Kingdom and has no time to play, but it doesn't matter. We are free and can play with you."

"Great! What shall we play?"

"Let me teach you to sing. Two cats~ Two cats~ Run fast, run fast. One has no eyes, and the other has no ears. It's so strange, so strange~"

Then, as expected, Rusalka was sent up to the sky by Phoenix using the power of shadow, which made Vishas very happy. She smiled and applauded their performance.

Rusalka is invincible today. Today he has the golden medal of Vishas by his side. Do you, Phoenix, dare to beat me to my knees in front of her?

Hello fish, king of fish, fish comes without paying any grain!

Chapter 391 Rusalka: I’m going to give you a good review

As the pressure of the end is getting closer, every upgrade is crucial. Although Sanita cannot control what Rusalka buys for the upgrade, he has made up his mind that every time he has a new gain, he must thoroughly communicate with Rusalka about the upgrade information, and each time he must ask precisely and confirm repeatedly to avoid the situation where the five wise brothers swallow the information again.

He upgraded to level 16 this time, and was a simple level 16 lore school bard.

For him, this upgrade means that he is only one step away from truly reaching the "peak of magic under the gods."
