"Have you, Mermaid Song, taken on any weird missions again?"

After lightly applying the medicine, the bar owner frowned slightly, picked up the bandage and began to bandage it on Cream's arm——

"Although man-eating bees are not very dangerous creatures, they can be dangerous if they are too careless. If I hadn't thought of going to the mountain to survey the terrain today, you might have told me where it was.

.”

A wry smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Ji Lian's mouth, and he felt the waves of faint pain coming from his wound.

To be honest, compared with the previous soul-ripping pain, this pain is as mild as scratching an itch.

After taking a long breath, he finally said: "Thank you...little liquor boss."

Xiao Lijiu had bandaged Cream's arms, but his brows were still furrowed: "No need to thank you, but you really need to deal with the problem of Mermaid Song yourself. I'm not blind, and I can see it during this time.

There may be some conflicts between you and your president."

Ji Lian was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes slightly, nodded and said, "You really understand..."

Xiao Lijiu sighed and continued: "The relationship between the boss and the employees... I know more or less about these. No matter how good the relationship seems to be between the boss and the employees, there are always many things that are not so good.

But let me tell you, the atmosphere of your guild is actually much better than the atmosphere of many guilds I have seen. Now, although I don’t know the inside story of your guild, it’s not easy for me as an outsider to speak out.

It’s idle talk, but I still want to say that there should be more understanding between you and your president.”

It is still raining outside, but as the sun rises, the sky gradually becomes brighter.

Listening to the sound of rain hitting the window, Cream tilted her head and looked at the natural music scores that kept drawing thin lines in the air outside.

Seeing that he didn't seem to want to talk much, Little Spirits nodded knowingly. After helping Cream bandage all the wounds on his body, he picked up the hot water and prepared to leave.

It was at this time...

"If, one day, you suddenly find that you are bewitched by some kind of power. And this kind of power will make you feel from the bottom of your heart that everything you thought in the past was wrong. There is some very powerful power waiting for you in this world.

Inherited. But gaining this kind of power is very likely to make you betray the people closest to you... and even make you feel that those who have helped you, those who have been very friendly and kind to you are all hypocrites.

As a human...what would you do?"

Xiao Lijiu turned around and saw Cream's eyes full of hesitation.

But after these words were completely spoken, the assassin seemed to realize that he had said some strange words, and quickly shook his head and said: "No... please forgive my nonsense. I don't understand at all."

I should betray those who have been friendly to me. This is a human code and I should know..."

Yes... everyone knows the truth.

Everyone understands that it is purely a temptation and a terrible trap. The Stone Blade...the praise and praise displayed by the dark power, as well as the promised power are all a scam, maybe just to let oneself

The heart shifts.

But... of course everyone knows this.

Everyone knows that one should not give up everything in front of them and turn around to obtain powers that may confuse the mind...

"If you are confused, then no matter what choice you make, it will be normal."

But just when Ji Lian was looking at the rain outside the window and feeling sorry for himself, the bar owner's slightly deeper voice sounded from behind him again.

Turning his head, Xiao Lijiu poured out the water in the basin, poured a cup of hot water for Cream, then picked up a rag and wiped the water stains that splashed on the table, and said in a calm tone -

"Since we can be confused, it means that we humans have certain desires and shortcomings in our hearts. But then again, if human beings have no shortcomings and no desires, can we still be called human beings?"

"The only way not to be deceived is to have no desire. A puppet who can't think, move, think, or do anything will naturally not be tempted by anything. But like this

We can’t call puppets humans.”

"As humans, the only thing we can recognize is that we are not perfect. The reason why we are imperfect is that we can not exaggerate our power too much. It is precisely because we know that our willpower may be stronger than we expect.

are more fragile, so we humans always remind ourselves not to forget our original intentions."

After wiping the water stains, the little liquor boss turned around and walked into the bar. He took out a piece of toast, cut two slices, placed it on the pot next to it and started heating it. Then he took out some lettuce from under the counter and washed it in the sink.

, take out a tomato, cut it, and take out the juiciest slice in the middle. After the bread slices on the side are heated, put the tomato slices and lettuce on top.

Then, he took out a small piece of meat tied with a string from under the counter, cut two pieces with a knife and placed them on top. Finally, he took out a can from the shelf behind him and scooped out some rich coffee-colored sauce from it.

Spread the juice on these meat slices and put another piece of heated bread slices on top.

After doing this, Little Spirit put the sandwich on the plate, brought it to the table next to Cream, and said, "Eat it."

Cream struggled to get up. After feeling the pain in various wounds on his body, he nodded, tentatively stretched out his hand, grabbed the sandwich and took a bite.

"When people are hungry, they want to eat."

"Similarly, when people feel that their own strength is insufficient, they will want to gain more power."

Cream raised his head and saw that the bar owner had returned behind the bar at some point, picked up a rag and wiped the glasses carefully. The middle-aged man's face, full of vicissitudes of life, was indeed full of vicissitudes of life.

He said calmly and slowly——

"I have never felt that there is anything to be afraid of in admitting my own shortcomings. There were even times when I felt that I alone had the truth and the truth, while the friends, family, and partners around me thought I was crazy.

I felt that I was simply unreasonable. At that time, I also felt that they were so ignorant. The feeling that I was the only one in the world who had grasped some kind of truth was indeed lonely and inexplicable.

A sense of vanity.”

"But..."

The little liquor boss raised his head slightly and looked at the ceiling. Now, his eyes did not seem to be simply looking at the ceiling of this bar, but instead seemed to be looking at some very distant past, stuck in the past.

Some kind of memory. After a long time, the boss shook his head gently, closed his eyes silently, wiped the glass in his hand again, and said slowly——

"But, if your friends think you are crazy, then why don't you think your friends are crazy? Even when a person feels that he is absolutely right, for family members, for friends, and for those who you once believed in

, for the partners who miss me so much, what could be more important than opening your heart to them and speaking freely about your feelings?"

"Tell them why you hate them. Tell them why you think you are right and why you think they are wrong. Why you think you have the truth and why you think you have the irrefutable truth.

Things are so important to me.”

"Talk openly and express your thoughts, hesitations, doubts, and beliefs. Let your companions know what you are distressed about, what you are afraid of, and what you are worried about."

"If they are really your friends and the best partners you can confide in, even if you tell them the reason why you don't trust them in front of them, I believe they will accept it, and

Let’s discuss with you what exactly went wrong here.”

Raising the cup, the little liquor boss carefully observed the transparent glass product. After confirming that there were no flaws in it, he nodded gently and hung the cup upside down on the cup holder above his head.

"So, let's have a good talk. I don't think there is anything easier in the world than talking to friends. Assassin, what do you think?"

Ji Lian looked at the bar owner silently, listening to what he said, and recalling his decadent mood over the past almost four months.

Indeed, the voice in his mind is always telling him that his partners will hurt him and they will not believe him... and Nature's Blade will continue to despise himself as a coward and a useless waste.

So...I really haven't discussed these matters with the president or everyone...

Eating this delicious sandwich, one bite, the crisp lettuce, the juicy tomatoes, the flavorful meat slices and the sauce, all the flavors are mixed together in your mouth. Although the food is delicious

It's not as good as the various pies and cakes cooked by the president himself, but this simple sandwich seems like the most exquisite combination of mediocre and ordinary ingredients. The taste... is really great.

"Thank you...little liquor boss."
