What did you do with the dice?

"Alright, Mayor Shapaero, you're under arrest. You're suspected of accepting bribes and failing to report them, condoning tax evasion, illegally forming an armed group, and..." The soldier glanced at the pamphlet in his hand. "Excessive pollution emissions, among other offenses. You're being dismissed from your position and sent to Silver City for imprisonment. Your sentence and specific charges will be determined after deliberation by the judges."

"Wait! Wait, wait, who is the one who suggested you do this? Let me report to Lord Sanitita first!"

However, Shapaelo's tone lacked confidence at all, and even had a slight tremor.

He actually already had the answer in his heart, but he still hoped that a miracle would happen.

Unfortunately, the playful expression on the other person's face and the letter he took out from his arms made him realize the reality.

"This is a letter from Lord Sanitita, telling you to make your own choice."

He opened the letter with a trembling hand, and saw the following written in clear and powerful handwriting:

To His Excellency Chapaelo, former mayor of Test:

Congratulations on your graduation today.

As the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times, and you were undoubtedly a perfect mayor of a small town during the turbulent times in the kingdom. But as everyone knows, first of all, the position of mayor cannot be hereditary like that of nobles.

What's more, now that peace has arrived, processing plants have to change their plans, and orders for weapons and equipment have to be shifted to daily necessities. Everyone has to change their mindset and look to new things in the future. It's time for you to let go of your work and no longer have to work so diligently here.

I have some very good candidates to replace the mayor, such as Knight Custer, who are capable of taking care of everything in the town for you.

Considering that objectively speaking, you have devoted your life to me, as a reward, I have decided to put aside your previous trivial grudges and give you two choices here.

First, you don't have to worry about the Inquisitor. Just bring your family and come to Silver City to live as a civilian with no worries about food and clothing and enjoy your old age.

Second, you can also be tougher and choose to be the mayor of Test Town for the rest of your life, which is a glorious life.

Written by Sani Tieta himself.

The leading soldier said, "Well, have you figured it out?"

Shapaelo didn't understand the meaning of Sanita's choice, but when he saw the two things the soldier handed him again, he suddenly understood.

The same is the house key.

The other thing is a hemp rope.

So this is what it means to be mayor for life.

Shapaelo looked at the hemp rope, smiled awkwardly, then showed a relieved expression, breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out to grab the key without hesitation.

Are you kidding? I am such a principled person. Of course I am Lord Sunita's dog!

Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God. The affairs of your children and family after death have nothing to do with you. Being able to live smoothly is the most real truth in life!

What's more, Sunita has no intention of getting rid of me, so why should I be dissatisfied?

"Then I must be loyal to Lord Sanitita and His Majesty the Grand Duke of Pearl Tears. In that case, please take me there."

In March of the 551st year of the Royal Calendar, Shapaero, the mayor of Teste Town who had served for eight years, surprised everyone by announcing that he intended to retire immediately due to his health and age, and pass the position of mayor to the two knights, Caster and Lei Xiukai.

The subsequent work and orders for the town will be temporarily handed over to the Chamber of Commerce. The two knights will gradually take over the affairs of each town with the assistance of temporary officials arranged by Silver City.

According to insiders, this may be a warning from the Grand Duke of Pearl Tears after the war against the shady behaviors of Shapaero. For a time, all merchants were in danger, and all kinds of opportunists disappeared. The town of Test also ushered in an unexpected period of political integrity.

However, it is unknown how long it can last. History always repeats itself. The Sunny Tower does not care about the future, as long as it can leave with a clear conscience.

By the way, there is a small piece of news at the same time. Phoenix officially announced her resignation as the head maid of the Pearl Lei family. This is a progress in the three generations and one hundred years of maid career of the Pearl Lei family. It symbolizes that the monopoly of the head maid of the Pearl Lei family has completely collapsed, and the power has once again returned to the hands of human maids.

The details of the maids' open and secret struggles are unknown, and as for the selection process, it's actually just a matter of Phoenix pointing her finger.

In response to this, Shangri-La, the founding ancestor of the Zhulei family, said that he could not understand it at all, but seemed to have misunderstood, and gave instructions to Rusalka that he could accept it: Even if you have an illegitimate child with a maid, I will raise it. You used to fight outside for many years, and now you finally stop fighting, so you have to give me one. Can you still live like this?

Grand Duke Zhulei has not responded yet, but according to rumors, he has recently made arrangements to travel to the El Empire.

As we all know, the Aiel Empire is a typical place with poor mountains and bad waters and unruly people. Unless you want to experience the real "customs" of the wilderness, or see some authentic bloody arena, there is no reason to go there.

Not to mention that it is also the only country where the gates of hell are still open. It is the most unsafe place in the world, even more dangerous than the Seven Sin Realms.

Everyone thought that Rusalka had just recovered from her injuries and was eager to fight, and at the same time, she wanted to find the God of War to return to her roots.

It fits my stereotype of the Duke of Pearly Tears perfectly. I hope he has a safe journey.

Shangri-La did not respond to this. He was busy offering a large reward to find the family tree of his ancestors.

If Rusalka is experiencing atavism, it's hard not to suspect that there's something wrong with me. Am I actually also an orc-human hybrid?

Otherwise, how do we explain the fact that Rusalka likes people of other races but dislikes people of her own race?

----

In recent days, Rusalka invited many bards to her mansion, and then threw them and Onyxia to her ancestor Shangri-La.

He was a typical "make do" person, figuring they were both writing anyway, so why not collaborate? "I see you two are both literary enthusiasts. Your ancestors even kept a diary, so why not teach you two how to write your autobiographies? I've hired professionals to review your manuscripts, and if you don't want to write, you can just dictate."

Can this be the same?

But considering that most of the contents of his "diary" were slanderous things that his descendants must not see, Shangri-La felt guilty and reluctantly accepted this troublesome task.

Even if we take a step back, his diary cannot be written by these guys. If Rusalka is really a real aristocrat, if he writes a whole article about this, I will be so angry that I won't be able to finish my ten heads.

But then again, if Rusalka was a real aristocrat, he wouldn't be able to write a single piece of this stuff, and he would have to be the one to work on the theory of relativity.

Shangri-La was also quite curious about why the Dragon Clan, a race that was itself a walking history book, would be interested in a biography that recorded history. "What kind of autobiography do you, a Dragon Clan member, want to write? Have you thought of a name for it?"

Onyxia actually gave it some serious thought: "Let's have one, call it 'My Struggle', and record my legendary life of continuous progress and fighting against powerful enemies. By the way, I can also write down my mental journey for other creatures to learn from."

Shangri-La: "What a great name! It sounds like a very ambitious autobiography."

Rusalka had just turned around when she heard the thunderous keyword. She immediately turned around and rushed over to Onyxia, shouting, "Hey, hey, hey! This won't do! It's too unlucky. Change it! You can even call it 'Dragon's Sky'. That would have a bit of a novel atmosphere!"

The two thought Rusalka was really baffling and felt that the latter was far inferior to the former.

Finally, it was decided to name it "Dragon's Struggle". The subtle name made Rusalka feel the excitement of dancing on the edge of the publishing red line.

Never mind, as long as they are happy.

----

In fact, when her good brother asked Rusalka what finishing things she wanted to do, before going to the El Empire to fulfill the agreement with Yu Shang, Rusalka wanted to go to Esdi first.

After all, as a holy warrior, I am at least a member of the same Holy Light. Now that I am here, it would be a bit of a pity if I didn't visit a country that believes in the Holy Light.

Sanitta thought his good brother had lost his mind. "He's gone crazy after the war. He wants to travel to Theresa's base camp?"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to Wright City or Wright Cathedral."

He actually wanted to take Rewi Alley, who had been with him for seven years, back to his hometown to visit.

After all, everyone in the Pearl Tear Territory has their own story, and although Aerie is a bit of a tough guy for Phoenix, he still has a good personality. He successfully overcame the demon war and took the initiative to step forward and save many people. He is indeed a child who deserves to be treated well.

The two happened to meet in the small plantation outside the lord's mansion. Rusalka was looking for Ai Li, and Ai Li seemed to be looking for Rusalka as well. When he saw him, he took the initiative to say, "Ah, Your Majesty, Grand Duke Pearl Tears, wait a moment."

"what happened?"

Aerie asked, "Well... I heard that the demons have been completely defeated now, right? The world is completely peaceful and no longer needs the Holy Light."

Rusalka touched her cheek and said, "There's no need to be so pessimistic and think you're going to be laid off. I think the Holy Light is still very useful. It can heal illnesses and save lives."

Rewi wasn't as dejected as Rusalka had imagined. Instead, he was delighted. "That's great! I've actually been looking forward to the day when I'm discharged from the army and return to that little church. I think that will be the day when the world no longer needs paladins and priests, when there's no longer any distinction between the strong and the weak, and when everyone can coexist peacefully. Then I can be like Mammy and take care of those children. Oh, or not, there won't be any children left to care for us then. It'll be a little lonely."

"Ahaha, it's best that you think so."

It’s a pity that Rusalka doesn’t have such great feelings, he can’t even take care of himself.

In this damn world without instant noodles and takeout, how can humans survive without cats!

"Since there's no need to fight anymore, I actually... I want to..." Ai Li took a deep breath, lowered his head and looked at his toes, and said to Rusalka, "It's about what your elders discussed with me before. I think there's no problem. I want to take you to my hometown first and introduce you to others. Then we can do the rest. Is that okay?"

Rusalka touched his chin and said, "My dear brother, you are so careless. Did Sanita tell you in advance that I wanted to take you back?"

He really wanted to send Rewi Alley back before going home. After all, it was sending a wanderer back home, and it was a glorious return to his hometown. Rewi Alley must have been very happy.

I heard that Ai Li grew up surrounded by good people, so I can rest assured. Then before I return to Earth, I will have put my mind at ease.

Ai Li didn't expect Rusalka to answer like this: "Huh?"

"That's perfect, let's go straight away when you're free."

Ai Li's ears turned red. "Hey, is it that urgent? I'm still a little unprepared."

Rusalka: "There's no rush, but if you want to bring some local specialties back, I've already prepared them. You don't have to go to the market in Silver City to buy them."

"So, what about other things?"

"It's simple. I'll just bring money with me and buy you whatever you want."

It was agreed that they would set off on the morning of the third day, but Ai Li was so excited that he couldn't sleep for two nights.

On the morning of the third day, Ai Li, who had been trying to stay alert, finally felt relieved - a group of young women with big and small bags were gathered around the carriage, ready to set off.

Of course, this included Phoenix, who was squinting his eyes and looking at her with ill intent.

send!

Chapter 519 Light God

Weishas opened the door curtain in front of her and shouted to Hydra, who was riding on the back of the monster bear, "Let's go!"

Rusalka resisted the urge to run over and teach her how to sing "A Spoonful of Sauce."

Alas, I am about to go back and can’t teach Yu Yu bad things anymore. I feel sad.

This bear is extremely strong and can pull two carriages by itself. In the front are Vishas and the elves, and in the back are Rusalka, Phoenix, Sanita, and Aerie.

Alice: "Visas, move the water tank to the roof of the car and play cards with me."

Shanna: "Won't the cards get wet then?"

Alice: "Oh yeah, then will Ai Li come?"

Shanna: "She's chatting with Phoenix."

Alice: "Okay, then we're short of one. So where's Teacher Sanitieta?"

"I think we should call each other something else now, like husband or something."

"It sounds a bit strange."

"It seems true."

Sanita took a look at the awkward atmosphere in the carriage, then tactfully left and jumped onto the roof of another carriage: "Let me do it."

There's no way around it. I definitely can't ride Onyxia, and the Guided Explosives is broken. I can't take the portal either because I don't dare go to Light City.

Well, since we are going with Phoenix, Hydra, Vishas, ​​Aerie, Sanita, and two elves, with so many people going together, we certainly can't rely on flying. We can only go back to our original intention and take a carriage.

Ai Li looked a little pitiful, squeezed into the corner of the carriage by Phoenix's shadow warrior, and seemed to be in a depressed mood.

"So why did you let the Kagemusha ride in the car? Isn't this a summon?"

Phoenix ignored Rusalka and just took the seat, which was very domineering.

Rusalka glanced at Ai Li, who was curled up, his eyelids drooping. (Strange, Ai Li was so excited before the departure, but why did he become silent once he got in the car? Was he carsick?)

In fact, it is because the shadow warriors have no temperature and feel cool. Being close to them in the slightly stuffy carriage makes people feel unexpectedly comfortable.

Sunita: (She better be carsick.)

Ugh, Phoenix-style bullying.

Rusalka didn't dare to go forward and solve the problem by herself. Helping Aerie to resist Phoenix was right from a moral perspective, but it was not right from any other perspective except moral perspective.

And if he did this, by the evening, he would be the one being targeted by the 80s.

Damn it, Phoenix, relying on the fact that she has a marriage certificate, she speaks and acts so arrogantly.

Sanita: (You are really going against the will of heaven. Otherwise, what do you want to do?)

Rusalka: (Woohoo, she went against Yuyu's wishes. Justice Sanitita, please save me.)

Sanita: (I’m too lazy to watch. Death penalty. They were all shot.)

Alas, due to the lack of laws, we now have a cat bully in our car. How could this happen?

It’s too scary. Now that things have come to this, I can only take a long rest.

It’s good to be young. Rusalka pressed the long rest button and fell asleep.

In a daze, Rusalka found herself sitting on the bench again.

And right opposite him sat a kind old man with white hair and a big beard.

Rusalka was stunned and tried to come up with a code: "Crazy Thursday?"
