Chapter 1038: Blushing, Red Ears?

Cheng Jieluka was still preparing the super unpalatable fried Morgan cake. I took Xiao Heitan to the river where I was last time, washed her again, and took out a new set... uh, I beat her a lot. Put on plain clothes with patches.

It seems that finding a job must indeed be put on the schedule, otherwise Xiao Heitan's vigilance will definitely be surprised by the shabby clothes of unknown origin that appear in his hands from time to time.

After dinner, Xiao Heitan, whose physical strength was almost exhausted, lay on the table and fell asleep quietly without any orders from Jeluka and me.

Jeluka and I looked at each other, and after moving Xiao Heitan to bed, we each exchanged our opinions. In the end, we reluctantly came to the most likely conclusion - Xiao Heitan's original parents looked kind to outsiders. They are ordinary, but they secretly force Xiao Heitan to do heavy work. Otherwise, why would Xiao Heitan work so hard? Why should he be afraid of us? Jeluka concluded angrily.

Although I feel that she is a little emotional, I do not rule out this possibility. Seeing Xiao Heitan's appearance when he comes back, to be honest, I also want to turn it into a vicious mine that symbolizes the bourgeoisie's oppression of labor. The field was blown away.

Early the next morning, I repeatedly told Xiao Heitan not to do heavy work like mining and pulling ore, and let her play in peace and contentment like an ordinary child. Although I still worried about how she would do it, But it's a pity that Jeluka and I can't leave, because if the letter yesterday was successfully sent to the elves, then probably those elven mages will be here today.

For such a high efficiency of action, people really have to sigh. The teleportation array is definitely not the contraceptive pill. It is really the greatest invention in the world.

When Jeluka and I found out about the Mage Guild, we found that we were still a little late.

At the entrance of the guild, a group of mysterious people wearing cloaks, completely shrouding themselves inside, stood at the door, staring covetously at a row of Alliance mages standing inside. Some of them even yelled at each other, and their mysterious clothes became uncomfortable. So mysterious.

Needless to say, these are the elven mages who came from afar. They had already arrived early in the morning, and were stopped by the mages from the alliance. Looking at the mages standing at the door, they were all part of a plan to save humanity. Members of the group, I'm sorry, because the name is too long, I almost forgot all the names as soon as I stepped out of the guild door yesterday.

"What's going on here?"

Seeing the expected strong smell of gunpowder, I quickly walked up and asked knowingly.

"It's His Royal Highness."

"Lady Carol!!"

The elf mage standing at the door turned around and when he saw it was us, he immediately shouted happily as if he had found his backbone.

"Thank you for coming all the way to help me and meet my arbitrary requests."

I smiled and nodded at the elf mages. This time it was indeed the alliance's mages who were at fault. In any case, there was no reason to block guests from afar at the door of our house.

"Sir Elder, what exactly is going on?"

On the Alliance mage side, an old mage asked in a sharp voice with his beard shaking. Even the crutch he was leaning on was not so calm and was trembling.

Oh, I have an impression. If I remember correctly, this guy should be the leader of the Nasha Nasha team of the human salvation plan, Master Magellan.

I'm not going to complain about this name, absolutely not.

"Is there anything strange? Didn't I tell you yesterday?" I blinked, not understanding where the other person's excitement came from.

"But...but this is too fast."

Magellan pointed his trembling fingers at the group of elven wizards opposite him. He looked like he had just clicked the button to confirm the order. There was a doorbell ringing outside. When he opened the door, he found that the courier had already delivered the ordered goods to his door. Therefore, the online shopping madman was stunned. .

"Sorry, you said it would take at least a month to get results. I made it very clear at the time that we can't wait for this time, so we will invite their mages from the elves to come over and assist."

I sighed and explained calmly. It seems that it is really a big problem to get these two groups to work together and work together on research. It might have the opposite effect and slow down the progress of the research. I originally decided to ask the elves for help. The clan asked for help. Was it because he was too optimistic about the relationship between the two clans, especially the mages of the two clans?

"It's...hateful."

Magellan punched the door frame. He was obviously already on crutches, but this angry punch was extremely powerful. The solid mage door trembled slightly, and the word "old and strong" came to people's minds involuntarily. Kai The same goes for En and Farah. Is crutches a popular decoration for the elderly nowadays? You old men who can live for at least forty or fifty years should restrain themselves, you bastards! !

"I originally thought that these guys would come back in at least three or two days. They have been working hard these days to show off some results, but I didn't expect..."

As a result, the old man Magellan muttered some purposes that made it impossible for people to sympathize with the anger in his heart.

"Captain Magellan, my condolences."

The group of mages behind them are also dejected, like a defeated rooster. It's so shameful. Is this really the mage team of our alliance?

"Huh, so that's what happened."

The leading Elf mage snorted and made a proud voice.

"What a shame. Is this the mage from the Adventurers Alliance? I really can't stand it anymore."

Yes...yes...

Being said like this, I, an elder of the alliance, can only cover my face. I am already a lot older, and I still look like a child in kindergarten. It is really hard to stand...

"I, Victoria, can't bear to plan such a despicable and insidious conspiracy secretly to try to attack us."

He lifted up the cloak and hat that covered his head, revealing a female face that was about fifty years old, well-maintained, and still vaguely had the beautiful contours of her youth. What was particularly prominent was the pair of pointed ears. Showing his identity as an elf, he wears an aristocratic single-eye lens on his eyes with some lines at the corners, which brings out the elegance of the elf and the mellow temperament of the mage.

Yes, yes, I can’t stand it anymore...

"Huh?"

When he came back to his senses, he found that the elves, represented by Victoria, and the alliance mages, represented by Magellan, were like two armies confronting each other on the battlefield. Dragons and tigers appeared in the sky above each other, creating a menacing aura that was about to explode.

"..."

Come and take a look, everyone. There are two groups of kindergarten children here.

In this tense atmosphere, Victoria suddenly turned around and faced me.

"Your Highness, originally it was for your sake that I reluctantly agreed to cooperate with these boring guys."

Sighing, Victoria cast a look of contempt at the angry Alliance mage behind her.

"But now it seems..."

Huh-huh? ! !

Could it be that she doesn't want to do it anymore? Cooperation failed? Originally, in addition to finding and controlling the painful worms for Little Heitan as soon as possible, I also wanted to take this opportunity to allow the mages with the worst relationship between the two tribes to understand each other through cooperation and reduce the opposition. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be what it is now. Like this.

"But now it seems that we have higher priorities than obeying His Royal Highness the Prince's call."

Ha...huh? !

Things seemed to be going in a strange direction.

"That's right, we have to show these alliance guys who only know how to play tricks to see how big the level gap between the two races of mages is!!"

With that said, Victoria took off the monocle on her left eye, wiped it elegantly with a white handkerchief, put it back on, and then cast the arrogant gaze from the bright lens, accompanied by a cold smile, to the person opposite. Alliance Mage.

"It's just what I want. Let you arrogant elves see how big the gap is between your level and ours."

Magellan responded with a smile. He was not wearing a monocle, but in order not to be outdone, he made a stick with the crutch in his hand, and made a threatening sound of "Hu~oh~" from his mouth, which was quite a bit like Kane. There's a charm in it. Could it be that the two of them were classmates when they were young?

"Please, I hope you won't be crying when you walk out of this door."

Magellan said gloomily. As he finished speaking, the mages blocking the door gave way to a dark entrance inside. Together with the weird smiles of the mages, the atmosphere was set off like the last scene in Dragon Quest. The entrance to the Demon King's Hall is just like that.

"Hmph, I feel like you won't cry without stepping out of this door."

Victoria Mage snorted heavily, and with a group of elf mages behind her, stepped in without hesitation. Of course, they now seemed to be playing the role of brave men who bravely entered the devil's cave.

Later, Magellan followed closely with a group of Alliance mages and disappeared at the door.

"Um...is this also what you expected?"

After standing outside the door and feeling the cold wind for a long time, I turned back stiffly and looked at Jeluka, whose expression remained unchanged, as if she had expected it.

"Huhemhem~~"

It was only then that Jeluka, like a female secretary who had finished her work, took off her serious mask, her lips curled up slightly, showing a proud look.

"Then why is it not simple? At this stage, it is simply impossible for the mages of the two races to put aside their prejudices and work together."

While I was stunned, she closed the small yellow book in her hand, showed her sly smile again, and started talking.

"So, if cooperation is not possible, then competition is also a good way to promote efficiency. Moreover, if we can understand and recognize each other during the competition, we can bring this competition to a situation where good competition and communication coexist. , not only can the original purpose be achieved, but the efficiency will be increased by at least five times.”

"Hiss~~~~~~~~~~"

Jeluka's current appearance makes me seem to see the side of the old fox Akala behind her that occasionally shows up - that "gentle" smile that only inadvertently shows up when exploiting and squeezing other people's labor.

If this pornographic maid is allowed to become a capitalist, the factory she opens will be filled with blood and tears from workers who have nowhere to complain.

"Forget it, since the goal has been achieved, let us wait and see."

I shook my head and shook off the shudder that arose in my heart when Zeluka's smile overlapped with Akara's for a moment, and I said.

"I'm still worried that these two groups will lose their temper and continue to monitor the research. What about you?"

"Same old, library."

Jeluka responded succinctly, seemingly wanting to continue searching for more information about Dragon Soul Grass there.

The two of them split up, and then, after a moment...

"Damn it, this group is the same, that group is the same, they all treat me as a roadblock." Someone who was kicked out of the research room for the second time yelled angrily in the corridor.

The two groups were obviously on the same page, but they were surprisingly consistent in their treatment of my issues. They voted unanimously to drive me out without hesitation. What did I do wrong? It was just a few bottles that were flipped over occasionally, and it didn’t explode! !

In desperation, I had no choice but to go to the library to find Jeluka and help her find information.

"Hahaha, Jeluka, come and take a look. This book is quite interesting. Look at this line. It says..."

As a result, I fell into the world of the book and couldn't extricate myself, and received Jeluka's cold gaze.

"If your Royal Highness doesn't want to help, how about you go back and take care of Xiao Heitan?" Jeluka glared angrily.

"I've thought about it, but I can't worry about those guys. What do you think we should do if they suddenly start fighting?" I scratched my head and smiled bitterly.

"We can only wait and see for a day. If everything goes well today, it probably means that the two sides can still coexist peacefully. Besides, Xiao Heitan has also sent a mage to follow him secretly, so there should be no chance of anything happening. what is the problem."

"Then please don't disturb my work, Your Highness."

Closing the book in her hand and putting it back on the bookshelf, Jeluka picked up the feather duster next to her and kept raising dust and swung it at me randomly, showing off her attitude of chasing people away.

"Ahem, I'll just leave. Ahem, hey, you are obviously just a maid. Ahem, don't go too far. Ahem, cough -!!"

I was choked by the dust that was flying all over the sky and kept coughing, but Jeluka seemed to be having more and more fun, and really kept chasing me.

It is unbearable! !

As soon as I bit my teeth, I suddenly turned around, grabbed the feather duster that came from behind, and pulled it away with force. Unprepared, Jeluka, who was holding the other end of the duster, was also pulled violently by the force. He stumbled forward a few steps and threw himself into my arms, who suddenly turned around.

This was probably the feeling of being surrounded by nephrite. For a moment, I had the illusion that I was hugging a light and soft cloud, and this cloud was exuding a heart-pounding fragrance.

Hum, do you think that you will be fine if you are immune to being killed by holding a girl in your arms?

I hummed proudly in my heart, and decided to let Jeluka see that a man can do more than kill a girl in his arms.

Jeluka suddenly fell into my arms. Before I could recover from this unexpected incident, I lowered my head, reached out and gently pinched the delicate and smooth chin in my arms, and forced Jeluka's face up. Get up and look into your own eyes.

"Let me tell you, Jeluka, it's rare to find a quiet place like this with no one around. Isn't there a better way to pass the time than looking for information?"

In an ambiguous posture of being close to each other, I lowered my head to the pointed ears of the elf and breathed softly. I raised my head slightly, almost face to face, and looked deeply into Jeluka's purple eyes. Staring at each other.

It's like a perfect piece of art like a cake. Looking at Jeluka's face from the corner of my eye, I couldn't help but admire it secretly.

The fair and pretty face is as delicate and smooth as cream, exuding a sweet smell. The moist cherry lips are dotted with white bright red cherries. The small and pretty nose is shaped like a strawberry with round lines, and the deep The beautiful purple pupils are full of grapes.

Everywhere exudes an alluring smell that tempts you to take a bite, and like a foul, not only are they similar in appearance, but even the fragrance exudes an indescribable sweet fragrance that makes people want to incarnate. Pervert, making strange behavior like sniffing and licking this face.

Oops, it's really bad. I originally planned to scare this dirty maid, but I didn't expect that I overestimated my own resistance, or underestimated the charm of this stupid maid, and I actually got a little moved.

Just when my brain was gradually getting into a trance, Jeluka's calm gaze was like a doll, but it was like pouring cold water on me, making me wake up immediately.

"Anyway...His Royal Highness is a pervert and a beast. He actually wants to take advantage of other people's lack of time to take birth control pills and use them. Does he really have the ambition to spread his descendants throughout the entire continent and all races?"

"..."

I feel so embarrassed to be complained about like this, and why do I feel a little guilty?

I let go of Jeluka, sighed heavily, turned around and left.

why? You've obviously done it to this extent, so why don't you feel shy and panic? Yesterday, you blushed and became shy just by holding hands. What on earth did you go wrong? Even if he was immune to being killed by a girl in his arms, it would be too much.

I shook my head in confusion and finally came to a conclusion.

Sure enough, after thinking about it, there was only one reason - because I was not a handsome guy, so even if he was approached like that, the other person would not blush or feel his heart beat.

Of course, someone who turned around and left would never have thought that the moment his figure disappeared from sight, the calm face that he originally maintained looked as if a layer of wax had been applied on it to change his expression. Jeluka had to solidify, but at the moment when the opponent's figure disappeared, the wax layer shattered, and the whole fair face showed an exaggerated shy expression, flushing and heating up.

She quickly put on her cloak and hat, covering her entire face that was as cooked as a steamed shrimp. However, if she got close, she could still feel the amazing heat coming from the covered face. She would probably have beaten the egg here. Jeluka's face could be cooked instantly...
