"It's nothing, it's just that your answer reminds me of an acquaintance. That person is just like you, and will do everything in his power to protect others, even if it is his life." Ariel smiled bitterly, and there was a deep affection in those emerald eyes. Heavy and warm.

"Hmm...... Sounds like a trustworthy guy, but is that guy also a Nightnight?" Ninety-nine could hear Ariel's thoughts on the man, so he echoed a standard line.

"yes, that's right. It's a bad guy." Ariel's eyes became more and more gentle, and the sadness and admiration in her tone became more and more obvious.

She still didn't look at Ninety-Nine, as if she was caught in a sweet memory and couldn't extricate herself.

"Uh......" Looking at Ariel's appearance, Ninety-Nine couldn't help but be curious. Who could be a Nightless Clan who is close to the Dragon Clan? So he immediately asked, "Well... That man..."

[HIDDEN] (Of course, even if you're not curious, 99 can't let go of this opportunity to have a conversation that enhances friendship.) )

——Through communication, understand the past behind a girl's paper, so as to carry out a strategy, but it is a common routine in gal. Although I don't want to attack this vice president, I am still an adventurer after all, and it is always right to have a better relationship with the vice president.

【Hidden End】

However, before he could finish asking, Ariel suddenly interjected, "Although I really appreciate you for helping us destroy the demons. But I still hope that you can cherish yourself a little more."

Ariel said with a smile, and there was still a hint of sadness in her emerald eyes.

Obviously, she deliberately interrupted Ninety-Nine. And 99 could see it, so he didn't continue to ask. His director nodded, and replied softly, "Okay, I remember."

Looking at 99's innocent smile, the depression in Ariel's heart was also relieved a little.

Ariel had long learned from Sister Wrist that the little girl in front of her was a girl who was good at acting and controlling her expressions, so Ariel understood that 99's expression at this moment was a smirk made to comfort herself.

But even so, she was still adored by Ninety-Nine's smirk at the moment.

"Sure enough, Sister Wrist said the same, she is very sensible."

Ariel thanked her heart, and a sweet smile appeared on her face, like a sister looking at her sister.

After the two sides were silent for a while, Ninety-Nine changed the subject: "So, may I ask the vice president, what about Sister Wrist?"

"They're going to the City Lord's Mansion."

"Huh?" Ninety-nine and one stunned.

"Ah, that's right. In the morning, the imperial capital sent 6 battle damage investigators, so Sister Wrist and the others followed those people to the City Lord's Mansion. Didn't you see that?" Ariel's expression changed back to her usual smile and she replied quickly.

"Uh... Ninety-Nine shook his head, then asked, "So what are those investigators here for?"

"Find out about the casualties after the war, and the destruction of the city, and then give subsidies."

"Oh, that's right. That...... Sister, do you want me to stay here with you?" Ninety-nine said politely.

"Okay." Ariel immediately agreed.

"Huh?" Ninety-nine was embarrassed in his heart, he didn't expect this person to return in seconds.

"Come in first," Ariel said, pushing open the door inside.

"Oh" Ninety-Nine smiled, although he was a little surprised, but he didn't want to let go of the opportunity to earn favors.

[The time is slightly earlier, and the camera moves to the side of the city lord Li Wenzheng. 】

Li Wenzheng, who learned that the person from above, hurried back to the City Lord's Mansion and was ready to greet him. (And at this moment, 99 has already arrived at the song tower, so he doesn't see the gang.) )

In a short time, two carriages followed the corridor of the makeshift hospital to the castle gate.

Li Wenzheng went out to greet him.

Four men came down from the carriage, all of them wearing navy blue uniforms, with red hair and strong builds.

In the carriage behind, two men and two women came down. In addition to Qing Yuhuai, Sister Wrist, and a man in uniform, there was another person who surprised Li Wenzheng, this person he knew, it was the active sword saint, Yun Feibai.

"Hey, could it be that I heard that there is a Nightless Clan, so I specially invited the Sword Saint? How to protect these people? Li Wenzheng thought in his heart.

But Li Wenzheng really guessed correctly, Yun Feibai came to protect these people. Because the magic cannon on the magic spaceship was too powerful, Yun Feibai also eliminated the demons that attacked Egret City last night. After reporting to his superiors, the superiors directly asked him to return to the capital and take charge of the escort mission.

"Welcome, welcome, a few inside, please." Li Wenzheng said politely.

"Thank you for the kindness of the city lord, but today is the Prayer Festival, and we want to go back as soon as possible." One of the stewards who looked at it was the mission immediately raised his hand and refused, "So these cuts are over."

"This is my work card, the Seventh Post-World War Damage Investigation Team, Team Leader: Fame." As he spoke, he held up a document that was open up and down. At the same time, the other 4 were wearing uniforms and also showed their documents together.

"I see, Team Leader. Now, what are you going to do?" The city lord smiled, and was happy in his heart, and came to be pragmatic.

"Did you do the battle damage report? I'll take a look at it first, and then, let's ...... Just walk and see."

"Ah, okay, give." As he spoke, Li Wenzheng handed Chengming a folder.

Chengming took a black folder that was open left and right, flipped through it, and his brows sank.

This folder contains photographs of the city's devastation after the war, as well as a list of lost belongings and supplies used to restore them. That's a lot of millions of gold coins.

Because the scenery in the photo was so badly damaged that it was completely different from the scenery that Investigator Cheng saw in his car, Investigator Cheng couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the report.

"A small city, so badly damaged, can be repaired to this point in half a day. This can't be a fake. ”

"City Lord Li, is your report true?" Investigator Cheng looked at Li Wenzheng suspiciously, and at the same time took out a disc-shaped polygraph hourglass from the space ring. And this disc is sandwiched between the thumb and the folder, and through the inclination of the file itself, Li Wenzheng can only see the border on the outside of the disk, and cannot see the hourglass on the inside.

"Please rest assured that all the information and photos involved in this report have been double-checked and are absolutely 100% true. Of course, the real extent of the damage may be even more serious than the above."

"Oh......" Seeing that there was no flowing hourglass under his thumb, Chengming smiled bitterly, "It seems that you are not lying, so please ask the city lord, lead the way, and show us these badly damaged houses."

Although it has been determined that Li Wenzheng is not lying, due to the job responsibilities, the process still needs to be repeated.

"Okay." The lord agreed, "Let's go."

In this way, the lord of the city personally got into the carriage with these people and began to inspect the work.
