What did you do with the dice?

After she finished speaking, she ignored Rusalka who was bending over and fighting against the evil demon in her lower limbs. Like a butterfly, she stood up and walked away in small steps.

Rusalka: (Damn, that's awesome! This trip to another world is definitely worth it. They've even updated my XP system with the latest patches, right?)

Sani Iron Tower: (What a good thing! Just keep it if I give it to you.)

Rusalka: (Is it really that big? If I put it on Phoenix, then in some way, I could have a threesome with just two people...)

Sanita: (I told you to use it as a way to keep in touch with Theresa. Don't you think a fixed meeting once a month is too passive? Why is your mind full of dirty talk? Xiao Chu Nan has a lot of Xiangxiang Pears for the gym. Can't you use them on men?)

Rusalka: (But if it's worn by a man, Teresa will share her senses after she arrives. If she uses this phantom limb too much, will she develop gender dysphoria? Like that girl who woke up in the operating room and cried, "Where's my dick?")

Sanitta: (You are such a genius. To be honest, I haven't even thought about this. Nobel should really come back to life and give you a prize for imagination.)

----

After Theresa left, she quickly sent the black sphere back to her original location in the Wright Cathedral through some means. Afterwards, Ai Li seemed to have had a dream and found himself sitting on a sofa in an empty room.

It was strange, as he had no recollection of ever having walked here before, yet the two maids in front of him brought him tea and snacks, saying that they were served according to his request.

However, she quickly accepted this situation because she had always been confused since she was a child and sometimes she would forget things.

People always say that this is due to the sequelae of their childhood illness, which is why they believe in God Light so devoutly, become a good nun, and strive to do more good deeds to gain the favor of the Holy Light. Once they become priests, they will not be troubled by illness and weakness.

She vaguely remembered that she had a very good playmate when she was a child, but one day her parents took her to a church in another area to study. That was also one of her best memories.

Until now, she couldn't even remember the appearance of her childhood playmate. She only remembered that before she moved away, she made a promise to her that when she became an outstanding nun, she would come back to see her again.

She also gave the necklace hanging around her neck to Rei Ai, asking her not to forget her. Therefore, Rei Ai always wore the necklace with great care, and never took it off even when taking a bath or sleeping.

When she was chosen to be a candidate for Sister Yaoguang, she found it incredible why she was chosen. However, since this was the choice of the Great Saint, Ai Li also felt a sense of luck that "maybe I am not so weak and ordinary", so she mustered up the courage to follow the army and take on the first test on her "path to becoming Sister Yaoguang".

She was looking forward to the time when her childhood playmate came to fulfill the promise, so that she could proudly puff out her chest and say that she was a powerful "Sister Yaoguang".

Well, but it turns out that the best nuns' tests are often the most brutal.

I was in a daze the entire way because I was always scared, or fainted when I saw corpses and blood, or I was vomiting. In short, I didn't even have the time or opportunity to daze myself. Now that I finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion with peace of mind, I started to forget myself again.

To sum up Rewi Alley's mood in one sentence, it was that she felt very aggrieved and wanted to cry. She wanted to go home to the small church where she would be responsible for cleaning, praying, helping to make snacks, and playing with the children every day.

The ordinary days in the past were a thousand times better than the current situation.

While eating snacks, she felt inferior and discouraged about the thought of backing down in her heart. She doubted whether she could really become an excellent Sister Yaoguang.

But there are also good things. For example, Sinidi’s snacks are really delicious~

----

When the door opened, Rusalka actually didn't know what he was thinking. When he saw Phoenix sitting on the coffin thoughtfully for the first time, a lot of bloody or nonsensical scenes that he had rehearsed in his mind, such as "he burst into tears" or "Phoenix burst into tears", "or he was very angry and scolded her for not running away", or he imitated Poseidon and raised his hands and "shouted 'Phoenix, resurrection!'" However, none of them actually happened.

The reality was that the two of them stared at each other, and Phoenix, far from looking like someone who had just been resurrected from the dead, calmly stood up from her coffin. She first spoke to Rusalka, who was standing at the doorway, her words crammed into her stomach and forgotten because they hadn't entered her head, "I'm back."

So Rusalka replied subconsciously: "Welcome back."

And then? Rusalka suddenly thought, "That seems to be the case." If the notification hadn't popped up in the lower right corner of his vision, he would have suspected that he had walked too hastily when entering the door, and his little toe had hit the edge of the door frame, causing him to lose health and enter combat. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why he didn't feel any emotion at all.

If I have to use his wonderful metaphor to describe it, it is like when you have a stomachache and roll around on the ground looking for a toilet, wishing the toilet would fly to you automatically or teleport back home. But when you really sit down on the toilet, you are suddenly not in a hurry anymore, and you can even take out your mobile phone to play with it for a while to prepare yourself.

But after the two of them stared at each other for more than a minute, Rusalka realized that she seemed to be waiting for him to say something. She felt that she should say something, so she asked Sanitta in the private chat channel: (Brother, what should I say now?)

Sanita: (I think it’s okay. You can say anything at this time.)

Rusalka: (Really? Can I say to Phoenix, "Welcome back, Master Ash. How can I help you?"?)

Sunita: (Okay, I was wrong. I've added a sentence to the list of things I shouldn't say. You, the person involved, should just state your request. I think I promised you how to capture her when she comes back. Just repeat what I said.)

Rusalka: (Master, please.)

Sanita: (Phoenix, I don't want to lose you again. Are you willing to spend the rest of my life and death with me?)

Rusalka's scalp tingled, and her toes were already twitching: (Wow, I'm curious how you managed to send out this statement that made every one of my toes automatically learn the digging skills of a groundhog? Also, I think it's difficult for us to live and die together. Putting aside the issue of our two-dimensional and three-dimensional aspects, from my construction perspective, I don't have any similar options...)

Then Rusalka's speech came to an abrupt end. When Sanitita was laughing at himself for believing Rusalka again, and was about to start scolding her in the channel immediately, he saw another dialog box pop up in the PL channel.

Phoenix: "I'm back."

Rusalka: "Uh... um, welcome back? Was my answer wrong? I'm sorry if I made you feel wronged. Please don't, you... this is not, I... sigh..."

Sanita: (What's going on? Why did you stop talking mid-sentence? Did something go wrong after Phoenix was resurrected?)

Rusalka: (No, this scenario is hard for me to explain to you, Lawyer Xie. I'd like to confirm something. I have a friend who was standing there when someone of the opposite sex suddenly hugged her. If I touch her head, or even just want to touch her tail, and she suddenly bursts into tears, would that be considered sexual harassment?)

Sanita: (Hello, if you are a traitor, you should be shot ten times.)

Rusalka: (Can the execution be carried out ten times?)

Sanita: (Of course, I'll save the resurrection that Phoenix doesn't need for you when you're executed.)

Rusalka: (What if my friend, ah no, suddenly becomes aware of the law and lets go while touching her, and wants to sincerely apologize to her in exchange for forgiveness, can I get a reduced sentence?)

Sanita: (Then he should be shot twenty times.)

Rusalka: (Ah.)

Chapter 120 The Watchful Eyes of God

In a way, the strategy was successful.

Rusalka said this secretly in the private chat channel while she was holding hands with Phoenix and taking her to the new lounge to eat something and rest. She then said this to Sanita who was drinking tea inside.

The reason why it was a private chat channel was mainly because Ai Li was secretly watching from the side, making Rusalka embarrassed to speak directly.

Sunita: (In the end, it was Phoenix who took the initiative to hug you, making it seem like you were the one who crawled out of the coffin. You are so awesome.)

Rusalka: (What the hell! She only died once, but I died eight times!)

This left Sunita speechless. If you say he is wrong, he is telling the truth; but if you say he is right, do you think these are words a human being can speak?

The reason why Rusalka is criticized here is because Sanita can watch the PL channel, so he knows that Rusalka only comforted Phoenix with a few words, rubbed her cat ears while hugging her, and did not say anything further to Phoenix.

Rusalka's character is that of a pure love god. Now that he feels that he can't find a way to bring Phoenix back, he generally doesn't make any promises or anything like that.

Sanitta sometimes says that Rusalka's love for Phoenix is ​​in a quantum state. When Phoenix is ​​unattainable, Rusalka shamelessly tries every possible way to increase her favorability; but when Phoenix is ​​attainable, Rusalka collapses into a cowardly state of "I feel I cannot be irresponsible."

Rusalka said: If she really can't take Phoenix with her before returning home in the future, then perhaps the relationship between them now is the best.

After Rusalka said this, she thought to herself that it would be very sad if the two of them were to be separated into two worlds in the future. It was like the feeling of eating a knife in the candy when watching the ending of "Xenoblade Chronicles 3". Although the knife can be soft or hard depending on the imagination, there is a kind of sadness like the beauty of imperfection.

There was no sign of him going home yet, so in order not to be a pessimist, he used a bad joke to lighten his mood: (After all, Phoenix has her own life too.)

This topic ends here. Someone, come and feed Phoenix some egg tarts!

There is also a small digression: Ai Li was shocked when she saw how Phoenix ate. After seeing the amount of snacks Phoenix ate, she compared her body size with Phoenix's and gave Phoenix an incredible look.

After this incident, Rusalka successfully attracted the attention and blessing of a god. It was not known whether it was an automatic mechanism left behind or if there really was a god paying attention to this world. In short, a new skill acquisition prompt was added to his prompt box.

[[Blessing of the God of Time]: Surviving the baptism of the Lord of Time's power earns you recognition and a symbol of blessing. Your lifespan is significantly increased. This blessing can also have unexpected effects in other situations.]

No, you are an omniscient system. You can't even imagine it, so where do you expect me to think about it? Should I search Baidu?

I can't find you on Baidu, so I'll have to use Sogou. Rusalka complained in her heart about this vague explanation.

So far, Rusalka has received blessings from two gods, one is the God of Truth, and the other is the God of Time. However, the blessings from these two guys, one can hide the camp, and the other can increase lifespan, are of no use to a player like him. The only thing he has is the joy of collecting gym badges or achievements.

Rusalka and Sanitta didn't care about lifespan at all. The characters in the board game group might have an age, but they had never heard of a group game that talked about lifespan. Moreover, there was no content about this in the village rules, let alone the "氪 lifespan" skill, so they just pretended not to see it.

After introducing her new toy to Sanita, Rusalka also expressed her thoughts on lifespan: (You, Jiji Bobaichang, I don't think you'll live long! Drag him out and shoot him! From "The Great Warlord")

What else could Sanita do? He could only say that he was used to it.

----

This time, the deputy leader of the Golden Blade, Mengjili, brought a lot of people, a full 10,000 people. This is why the east city wall was broken so quickly - those mercenaries didn't care about honor and surrendered immediately if they couldn't win.

As for the coalition forces, when they received the notice, although the elite troops of the El Empire had already retreated from the portal, there were still some remnants of the El Empire who were distributed in the city and the East City District. Even if they wanted to rush to the city wall to provide support quickly, they had to deal with the El Empire's army first before they could go to the East City Wall.

By the time they arrived, the opportunity was already cold and the city wall had been taken.

Without the equipment support of the east city wall, the result of the battle with the Esdi army was defeat within half a day, with some fleeing and some surrendering.

Wars in this world still adhere to the style of the cold weapon era. If the army is large enough, it is not a single general commanding the entire army, but rather fighting in legion units of 2000 people.

That is to say, if the commander of a corps feels that victory is hopeless, in order to preserve strength or cherish the lives of his comrades, he has the right to order military decisions privately without the direct order of the supreme commander or confirmation that the central command has collapsed.

This is why the escape of the two marquis' sons caused morale to collapse quickly. Without the brain's command, the limbs had their own ideas and could not cooperate at all.

In this battle, more than 10000 prisoners were captured, and about 3000 died. Among the remaining 7000, 3,000 were the troops from the west gate used to deal with Rusalka. They ran directly from the west. The other 4000 were lucky, or maybe their legion commander was smart. His strategy was the same as Sanita's at the time. When the Esdi army attacked from the main gate, they waited until almost all the Esdi troops came in, and then took advantage of the time difference and escaped through the small gate to the east.

After escaping, you can cross the mountains and return to the west. Although the journey is difficult, it is better than being surrounded and killed in Mingyue City.

Esdi's military order was to rescue Rusalka. Of course, objectively speaking, they also temporarily "garrisoned" Mingyue City in the name of Rusalka to comfort the residents and allow them to recuperate.

If you think about it carefully, is it necessary to mobilize an army of 10,000 elite troops to rescue Rusalka, the lord of neighboring Snidi? Even if Rusalka is indeed a paladin, he is not at the level of a captain.

Therefore, this order was extremely absurd, so absurd that Mongili was still curious about the hidden relationship between the "Lord of Pearl Tears" and the Great Saint.

The "unspeakable" here only has a superficial meaning. No one thinks that the saint has any bad intentions. After all, no one knows what magical methods Theresa has that can make everyone except the Council of Gods think that she must be a great saint.

Sarolt didn't ask this question at first because of his status. But it was different for Mungili. He was the vice-captain of the Golden Blade Knights. In the whole of Esdi, in terms of power, there were not many people above him, let alone no more than twenty.

He had wanted to ask, he had almost asked!

But Rusalka was very sad at the time, so she spoke without thinking and said, "I know Theresa."

Mengjili thought a lot at that time. If he knew Theresa literally, then everyone knew Theresa. He remembered that he should have met Theresa before, but it was a long time ago so he forgot.

But he and Sarolt had the same interpretation of Rusalka's words. Considering his own actions this time, Rusalka must be a person of the same level as the regiment commander, right?

Esdi also has an organization similar to the White Gloves, specializing in handling less glaring matters. Why couldn't Rusalka be one of them? Although Mungili was a high-ranking Paladin, the higher his position, the broader his perspective. He was quite confident that during the civil war in the Kingdom of Sneidi, the Esdi leaders had long been looking for an excuse to grab a piece of the action, but had simply not found one.

Then at this time, Rusalka, a paladin that neither he nor his comrades had ever heard of, suddenly appeared as if out of a stone. He inexplicably became the legal noble lord of Sinidi, turned around and asked for help from Esdi so quickly, and directly gave him the free management rights here.

You call this a coincidence? Whoever wants to believe it can believe it, but he doesn't believe it anyway.

To sum it up in one sentence - he overthinks it.

In fact, Theresa's real purpose, in addition to finding Rusalka, the "Gemini", to confirm her identity and exchange secret codes, was to take away the power of faith from Phoenix.

So when everyone was gathered for a celebratory banquet in the evening, Mengjili did not intend to ask the questions he had prepared. Instead, he naturally acted as if to say, "You don't have to tell me, I already understand everything," and began to chat with Rusalka about Esdi and his reinforcements.

He said that these 10,000 men weren't the entire force, but rather the advance team. When they heard that the neighboring Church of the Seven Sins had broken out of the Seven Sins Domain and attacked them, killing so many of their fellow missionaries in Sinidi, how could they tolerate this? Therefore, everyone in Esdi was eager to join the war. Furthermore, Esdi was a nation that valued martial arts and the power of faith, so mobilization for battle was quick.

Are you asking about the thousands of people who came before? They were the vanguard of the advance team.

Rusalka: (Good boy, this Esdi has even learned the game of delaying the release date, and has mastered the "preview of the preview" trick.)

This understated number of the advance team made Sani Iron Tower realize what a strong national strength means. As the former world's largest country, Esdi is indeed no joke. As the saying goes, destruction is far easier than maintenance. The goddess of joy next door has proved with her actions that simply being a good person will not last long. The country of Esdi can maintain a lawful and good position from a macro perspective, which means that it must have the hardest fist.

The border guards of Sinidi probably knew that Esdi was going to get serious and they couldn't stop them at all, so the border guards were so shabby and deliberately ignored these knights who smuggled in from Esdi.

At this point, the direction of the war in the east was actually quite clear. Theresa had already confirmed Rusalka's identity. Although because the agent had revealed the existence of the "key", Theresa might not know whether Rusalka really understood the so-called "legacy of God" he mentioned or was just bragging, but at least in terms of the war, she probably planned to take action personally, which was why she kept sending reinforcements.

Mengili: "Then what should we do with the two captured nobles? I heard that according to the rules of the Sneidi Knights, we should notify their families and then pay a ransom to redeem them."

Rusalka really wants to kill people because they almost killed Phoenix. Even if the ending was okay, it doesn't mean that they didn't do it with 100% murderous intention. Moreover, they have died eight times. Do you think they shouldn't be buried with Phoenix?

If it can't be blamed on those dead people, then let's just blame them.

Rusalka always felt that death was the fairest judgment.

But Sanitieta told him that he couldn't just say to kill him like that, because this was the person captured by Mengjili. Even if Mengjili was willing to ask Rusalka's opinion now, it didn't mean that he would unconditionally support and adopt whatever Rusalka said.

Sometimes the lawful good role is really not what the players play - as long as I didn't hear or see it, everything is allowed, no matter what my teammates do, I am innocent because of my ignorance, and I am a pure and lawful good person.

In most cases, the Lawful Good camp will actively participate in, understand, and even interfere with most improper behaviors, just like now, Mengjili nominally handed over the captives to Rusalka for decision, calling it a gift to Rusalka, but in fact the two marquis's sons were still detained in his army and had not been handed over to Rusalka.

Moreover, at this dinner party where the legion commanders were having dinner together, he openly and proactively mentioned Knight Sinidi's solution to Rusalka, instead of secretly asking Rusalka for advice. This was actually a very subtle statement.

So Sanitieta felt that he couldn't reveal his thoughts so quickly, and he should test his acceptance limit instead.

There is no way. Dealing with lawful good is sometimes more difficult than dealing with chaotic evil. With the former, you have to think hard about whether you can cooperate, how to cooperate near the other party's psychological bottom line to reap the greatest benefits, and how to avoid touching the other party's red line.

As for the latter, they just chatted casually, because they had no intention of making a success from the beginning. Every word in the chat was said with the mentality of making a miracle out of a single draw. Anyway, the worst case scenario is to wield a knife to chop the opponent, especially the mixed evil camp. The main goal of the player is to have no psychological burden at all, and Rushaka is very good at this.

Rusalka: (It is hard to relieve the hatred in my heart without killing.)

Sanita: (Really? I don't see any reason why you have to kill those two guys.)

Rusalka: (Actually, just now when you invited them to dinner, Phoenix secretly touched noses with me. Does that count as a kiss? Yes, it does. With that in mind, they really should die to show their respect, even if it's just as a celebration for me.)

Sani Tower: (Classic small head controls the big head, see full distance.)

In the end, everyone decided to put the matter aside for now and lock up the two guys first to see what the attitude of the two marquises was.
