"Surprising thing?" Asuna looked at Arthur with some confusion. What could surprise you to this extent?
"Nothing." Arthur shook his head, his expression a little helpless. Looking back, Karina did say that she was the city lord, but she didn't believe it at the time. Now it seems that she really has enough
Naive.
Who said that the city lord must be a bald noble or an old man? Isn’t the Karina in front of me breaking this convention?
In the final analysis, I just didn't believe Karina. I can't blame anyone else at all. I can only say that my common sense deceived me.
"It's okay. The mission will start soon. If you feel uncomfortable, you can apply to terminate the mission early." Asuna looked at Arthur with some worry. Although this mission is not difficult, Arthur
Once he felt uncomfortable, Asuna had to keep him in Messiah, but she couldn't let Arthur face danger.
After all, this mission is to go to sea. On the vast sea, any accident is likely to happen.
"It's okay, I'm completely fine." Although he thanked Asuna for her kindness, Arthur still shook his head, and after sorting out his equipment a little, he returned to his usual calm demeanor.
"Okay, but if there is any problem, you have to come to me immediately." Seeing that Arthur had indeed recovered, Asuna was relieved, but similarly, if there is a problem with Arthur, then she must also be responsible for protecting him.
His responsibility, after all, she is the deputy leader of the Blood Alliance mercenary group. In her opinion, it is her duty to protect every one of her companions.
"Don't worry, if there is any problem, I won't be polite."
While they were talking, the sailboat on the dock had been prepared. Although the city lord was traveling, everything was kept very low-key. A group of people boarded the boat quietly. Similarly, the sailboat also set sail quietly. Everything was going on quietly.
In this regard, Arthur was actually quite puzzled. As the Lord of the Messiah, why did Karina leave so low-key? He even said that if she wanted to collect potion materials, she wouldn't have to go to such trouble, right?
It's obvious that all you need to do is give an order, so why should you do it yourself?
Although he was confused, Arthur did not raise this question to Karina. Similarly, Karina didn't seem to have much time to discuss this with Arthur at this time. After the sailboat set sail, she had been talking to Karina.
Knight Cheluxi was discussing something in a mysterious way.
But as a mercenary, there is no need to meddle in the employer's affairs. Arthur only needs to do his part.
After putting the weapon into the cabin of the ship, Arthur walked onto the deck alone. At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and only the afterglow of the sunset was left on the surface of the ocean, but I have to say that this scene is quite beautiful.
The sun sets, the sea and the sky are vast. You can only see such a scene on the sea. This is a refreshing scene. Sure enough, it is good to leave Messiah and see the outside world.
"Alone?" Just as Arthur was admiring the beautiful sunset scenery, a gentle voice came, making Arthur quickly turn around.
"Your Excellency, City Lord." Yes, it was Karina who came.
"This really makes me sad. You called me Karina before, but now you suddenly call me Your Excellency the City Lord. Did I do something wrong to make you hate me?"
Obviously, Karina didn't like Arthur's unfamiliar name. She sighed, and her expression was very resentful. What on earth is going on?
"No, I don't hate you, it's just that you are the city lord, and I just..." Arthur waved his hands repeatedly. Although he didn't care much about class concepts, the other party was the city lord after all, and Arthur didn't want to be troubled.
.
You know, most of the knights in the Security Knights are very old-fashioned. If you call Karina and get close to each other, the other knights will be unhappy and draw their swords to chop you or something. That's not worth it.
This is what Cecily told her. As a member of the Security Knights, she is naturally very familiar with this kind of thing. When she heard that people from the Knights were following Arthur, Cecily warned him.
He said over and over again, be sure not to have any conflicts with the knights. Ordinary ones are fine, but if they are elite knights, they should stay away after seeing them.
Obviously, the ones protecting Karina this time are definitely the elite of the Knights. Although he is not afraid of them, Arthur also hates trouble.
"Can't we be friends?" Well, before Arthur finished speaking, Karina's expression had already changed from resentful to pitiful, as if she was saying, you are going to abandon me.
This friend?
"Of course we can become friends, which is also my honor, but..."
"Since we are friends, it's okay. Arthur, you can continue to call me Karina from now on, okay?"
Yes, Arthur's words were interrupted again, and Karina's expression was really irresistible.
Forget it, the worst thing is that the Knights will cause trouble for you. Am I still afraid of you? What's more, Karina, the city lord, is like this. Isn't it a bit too stupid to care so much?
"Okay, I get it."
“Great!”
Seeing Arthur nod, Karina immediately cheered, as if a child had gotten a beloved toy.
"Do you need to be so happy?" Arthur couldn't understand Karina's actions.
"No, of course I will be very happy. You don't know that I really have very few friends. Apart from you, I only have Maria. Others will only respect me and respect me, but have no idea what I want."
What exactly is it?"
Karina shook her head repeatedly and expressed her troubles at the same time.
That's right, as the Lord of the City, she really didn't have any friends. She had been practicing hard when she was young. After she became successful in practice, she had to take over such a big Messiah. She had to face busy official duties every day.
For a young girl like Karina, the burden is too heavy.
Karina needs friends, she wants to make friends, Maria is the first one, so can this Arthur be her second friend?
Obviously, Arthur's answer did not disappoint Karina. She was indeed right. Both Maria and Arthur were good friends worth dating, regardless of their status, regardless of the distance.
Karina likes this feeling, yes, she really likes it.
