Chapter 223 Les Miserables and One Hundred Years of Solitude
"Eating free money?"
Hearing this, Artoria rolled her eyes at him, "Do you think everyone is like you?"
Many things will change a bit when it comes to Ren's mouth.
He is quite a bit like a dog who can't spit out ivory from his mouth. The fact that he has survived until now without being beaten to death is probably because of his strength with his fists.
"I'm just asking you, can you do it?"
Renn temporarily took off his nightmare mask and said lazily.
His disguise skills are perfect. As long as he doesn't fight with others and expose his abilities, no one at the Navy Headquarters can detect any abnormalities.
However, if his sister doesn't help him arrange a legal identity, it won't be that convenient for him to move freely around the Navy Headquarters.
Even if he could secretly replace a certain admiral, he has no memory of the other person and is not familiar with the lifestyle of an admiral...
"Okay, I'll put you into my personal army, but you have to promise me not to act recklessly or cause trouble."
Arturia looked at him with burning eyes and warned.
She knows very well that he is a guy who is afraid of chaos in the world. If he is not restrained, he will definitely cause some trouble.
"Don't worry, I will serve as a naval captain, wholeheartedly safeguard world peace and contribute to the cause of justice."
Ren said with a playful smile, obviously not taking her warning to heart at all.
The careless words made the cheap sister roll her eyes. She put her hands on her hips and pouted, as if she wanted to scold him.
"Okay, let's start dinner, otherwise the soup will be cold."
Seeing that she seemed to be still nagging, Ren quickly tapped the dinner plate with his spoon to remind her.
"snort."
Artoria snorted, dissatisfied with his disobedient attitude.
Of course, she still sat at the table very honestly. If her brother disobeys, he can be disciplined slowly. If the meal goes cold, he will lose hundreds of millions. As a king, you must know how to weigh the pros and cons.
She scooped up a spoonful of cucumber, vermicelli and fungus soup, took a sip, and her eyes suddenly narrowed into crescent shapes, with a look of satisfaction on her face.
(≧▽≦), the taste is great, this is a high-quality life.
After she became a favored one, she tried a lot of delicious food, but after all the food she ate, she still felt that Ren, the Seven-Star Sword, was the king of the culinary world.
After the appetizer soup, Artoria tasted many delicacies one by one, including soy sauce beef, purple potato mashed potato balls, golden fish balls, brown sugar eggs, fruit vinegar cherry radish, rice, braised pork ribs, boiled meat slices, tomato stewed beans, etc.
She ate well, but it didn't affect the speed of consuming food. In less than half an hour, there was only some soup, water and vegetable leaves left on the table.
Her appetite was astonishing, and Ren didn't eat half as much as she did.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the crimson sunset outside the window has gradually dimmed, and a navy blue curtain slowly falls.
Arturia held her still flat belly, reluctantly looked away from the dining table, picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth.
I feel like I’m not full yet…
I wanted him to continue to prepare a table, but I felt a little embarrassed.
Artoria forced herself not to think about this problem, looked at her cousin who was clearing the table, and asked instead:
"If you stay here, will it be okay with the Lionheart Kingdom?"
"If there is a problem, it is for them to solve it themselves. I, Zhuge Liang, have done enough. If Adou can't help him up the wall, it can only be said that they deserve to be defeated dogs for the rest of their lives."
Ren said calmly.
Think about how difficult the situation was when Monkey D. Long founded the Revolutionary Army?
But they still withstood the pressure and grew stronger under the ruthless stranglehold of the world government.
Compared with the revolutionary army back then, the current situation and conditions of the Lion Heart Kingdom are ten times, a hundred times better. If you can't successfully rise even with such a dream start, what is it but a waste?
He, Emperor Rennes, cultivates a group of talents, not a bunch of thigh pendants.
Why is the movie "Avengers" so much more exciting and successful than "Justice League"?
One of the reasons is that the combat power system of "Justice League" feels seriously unbalanced. It is said that it is an alliance, and it would not be inconsistent if it was renamed "Superman and His Thigh Pendants"...
Hearing Ren's words, Artoria nodded thoughtfully.
She pondered for a moment and said: "A few days ago, you invaded the Holy Land of Mariejoia, and the revolutionary army seemed to have made some unusual moves."
"I don't know their plans very well, and I don't care."
Ren said calmly, "I invaded the Holy Land, and the revolutionary army who was secretly waiting for an opportunity also took the opportunity to break in. This was not my order."
He didn't know that the revolutionary army would invade the land of the gods, the flowers and the secret vault of the Celestial Dragons.
"Then why didn't they take Bartholomew Bear away themselves?"
"This is where they are smart. They paid a huge price to let me rescue the bear. My action also attracted most of the troops in the Holy Land. They can achieve other goals, and because they have cooperation, they are not afraid that I will hinder them.
." Ren said calmly.
This is killing three birds with one stone.
The revolutionary army must have learned or obtained something in the Holy Land this time.
"What price?" Artoria asked.
"The Revolutionary Army promised to help the Lion Heart Kingdom establish an intelligence network, bases, etc. all over the world."
"..."
Arturia was a little surprised by such a big gesture.
No wonder they were able to invite Ren to take action, the bargaining chip was amazing.
She reminded: "Perhaps, the Revolutionary Army will become the main competitor of the Lionheart Kingdom in the future."
"really."
"Don't you have any ideas?"
"What you mean is, why don't I destroy the revolutionary army and help the Lion Heart Kingdom eliminate hidden dangers?"
"..."
Arturia didn't say anything, so she acquiesced.
She knows Ren's character well and will not hesitate when it comes to eradicating the roots and killing threats.
"It's not necessary and it can't be done."
Renn smiled faintly, his eyes a little deep, "Did you know? Long has quietly moved the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, and Baldigo on the White Earth Island has become an empty shell."
"Um?"
Arturia looked surprised, "I guess the CP agency hasn't discovered it there."
"But the Lion Heart Kingdom already knows this. This was known when we cooperated last time to remove the CP organization's power network in the New World."
The corner of Ren's mouth raised, and he said with a half-smile, "Monkey D. Dragon is also an interesting guy. He doesn't give me the opportunity to stab an ally in the back. It's hard to imagine that the Straw Hat Boy is his son."
The word "ally" represents a unique kind of interpersonal relationship, which is based on interests, friendship as a bond, and status is determined by strength. From a certain perspective, allies are the most unreliable relationships in the world, but they are
Can't live without it.
Nouns derived from the relationship between allies include being unable to trust, intrigues, using each other, etc.
In the beginning, Ren and the others were just the Lionheart Pirates, not even the Five Emperors.
During this period, Long tried his best to bring the revolutionary army closer to them. The subordinates of both sides also cooperated a lot, and the interests were equally shared. They were in the honeymoon period.
When Ren became emperor and the Lion Heart Kingdom was established, the dragon's attitude became more subtle.
On the one hand, he continued to maintain a personal friendship with Lane, but on the other hand, he began to move, moving the main force of the revolutionary army out of the New World.
When Ren became the Sword Master and the Lionheart Kingdom dominated the new world, Dragon's attitude changed again.
He became more enthusiastic personally and frequently visited Hongye Island to maintain friendship and exchanges with Ren. However, at the same time, the cadres and commanders of the revolutionary army such as Sabo, the Demon King and Bello Betty completely disappeared from the sight of the Lionheart Kingdom.
The main force of the revolutionary army has completely withdrawn from the New World and gone to develop all over the world.
Did you see anything?
There are many twists and turns in it.
Long has never offended Ren, but he has never trusted Ren either.
To this day, Ren can grasp the whereabouts of Dragon, but does not know the whereabouts of Sabo and others. Moreover, Dragon has handed over most of his power to Sabo, and he himself is a symbol...
Yes, while Long was cooperating with Renne, he was already prepared to deal with Renne's fall out.
A true hero will never trust the integrity of his allies.
Ren can kill the dragon, but he can't destroy the revolutionary army, unless he is willing to work tirelessly to traverse the entire planet and cleanse the world...
Arturia praised: "Dragon is also a great hero of the generation. The revolutionary army is still very keen to develop and grow despite the government's full stranglehold."
"No, you didn't even give me a chance to hurt my brother." Renn looked regretful.
"You didn't really intend to backstab the Revolutionary Army, did you?" Artoria looked at him suspiciously.
"How is that possible? I am very moral." Renn smiled heartily, like a sunny boy. He originally planned to find an opportunity to annex the revolutionary army, but it was a pity that Long was too cautious.
"..."
I believe you are a ghost.
Arturia understood that if it weren't for the dragon's defense, the revolutionary army might not be wiped out by Ren, but it would probably be annexed by the Lionheart Kingdom and reduced from an independent revolutionary army to an army of the kingdom...
I can only say that luckily Long didn't overestimate Lei's integrity and ran fast.
"Okay, let's not discuss this anymore."
Ren waved his hand and ended the conversation about world hegemony and the conspiracies behind it.
After he became a sword master, these meanings were of little significance. They were just games in his spare time. If he really tried his best, he could overturn the chessboard and make it impossible for everyone to play.
To put it bluntly, Lionheart Kingdom is just his game.
In his heart, this kingdom is actually not that important. It is better to make his sister happy.
Renn picked up the dishes on the table and entered the kitchen, dumped the leftovers and put them in the sink, turned on the faucet, and started washing the dishes.
"Leave this to me."
Upon seeing this, Artoria ran over and took the initiative to take over the job.
"Then I'm going to take a shower."
Ren shrugged and did not refuse. He walked to the living room, took out a random set of clothes from the space door, and entered the bathroom.
I leisurely took a hot shower and it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
After Arturia also finished taking a shower, he took their clothes and washed them in the laundry pool on the balcony, then hung them up to dry together.
When I returned to the house, I found her reading a book on the sofa.
She had just finished taking a shower, her hair was still wet, and she was wrapped in a loose bathrobe. Her long legs with fair-skinned jade were overlapped, and her graceful and undulating figure could be vaguely seen under the snow-white silk.
A very beautiful, perfect goddess.
With a calm face, Renn walked over and looked at the cover of the book in her hand - "Les Misérables".
Renn:Σ(?д?；)
He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch her forehead and muttered:
"I don't have a fever."
"..."
You just have a fever.
Artoria rolled her eyes at him and said disgustedly: "Go to bed quickly and don't bother me."
"Who in the right mind would see this?"
Ren didn't care, lying down on the sofa, his head resting on his sister's warm and jade-like thighs, and said lazily.
She couldn't help but pinch his face and pouted:
"So what have you been watching lately?"
"Here, this is one of my favorite novels."
Ren opened the space door with a swipe of his hand, took out a book and handed it to her.
Artoria took the book and glanced at the cover - "One Hundred Years of Solitude"
she:"……"
Σ(?д?；), who in the right mind would see this?
"Are you in a bad mood lately?" x2
They both spoke at the same time.
After saying that, both Ren and Artoria fell silent. They looked at each other and then looked away in unison to hide their embarrassment.
I feel like his (her) taste is a bit strong.
The two of them basically didn't need to rest, so they spent the night reading on the sofa. During this period, they also tried to persuade each other to read another book. One Hundred Years of Solitude/Les Miserables was boring.
Wren insists that normal people don't watch Les Misérables.
Artoria also feels that One Hundred Years of Solitude is not for people to watch.
All in all, the conversation was unpleasant, and in the end the two siblings decided to have a fierce fight at the World Conference, using their fists to prove that each other's taste was not good at all...
A night of silence.
The next day, Ren simply washed up and entered the kitchen.
He skillfully diced dried five-spice seeds, bamboo shoots, lean meat, and dried shiitake mushrooms and stir-fried them, then sprinkled them on the egg skin covered with a layer of glutinous rice, brushed them with a layer of vegetable oil, and fried them over high heat until golden brown.
This breakfast was so tempting. After the food was cooked, Artoria couldn't wait to take a bite. One side was crispy, the other side was soft and glutinous, and her mouth was full of fragrance...
"What's this?"
"Jiangcheng Bean Skin." Renn bit into the bean skin pancake. The familiar yet unfamiliar taste awakened some faded and blurred memories, making his expression a little complicated.
When I was a child, I loved eating this breakfast made by my mother.
At that time, he still had a family and lived a very ordinary life. He went to class and after school, went to Internet cafes with his friends on weekends, played games, and watched TV series...
Unfortunately, he may never return home or see his parents.
As if sensing his mood swings, Artoria suddenly hugged him from behind, leaving him stunned for a moment.
Her embrace is very gentle, like the warm sun in winter.
Ren turned his head to look at her beautiful heterochromatic eyes. He could feel her tenderness, affection and attachment, and he couldn't help but feel slightly absent-minded.
Arturia touched his face and smiled faintly. The smile was as intoxicating as the spring breeze. Like a gentle and kind big sister, she kissed his ear and said:
"Let's go, don't be in a daze, I will take you to join the army and report. If you are bullied, remember to tell your sister."
"Tch, take care of yourself."
Ren couldn't look directly into her eyes, his heart palpitated, he subconsciously looked away and muttered.
It's obvious that he is taking care of her, right?
…………
Navy Headquarters Fortress, third floor attic.
"What, this guy is your cousin?"
In the office with the plaque "Justice" hanging, the beautiful Major General Hina opened her eyes wide and looked at the young man in front of her with a look of surprise.
The other person looks young, about 20 years old, with blond hair and blue eyes, regular facial features, and a dignified appearance. At first glance, he looks somewhat similar to Kate.
Ren was holding the old sword (Arthur Pendragon)'s face, and was also looking at Hina.
He originally wanted to continue using Gawain's face, but Artoria strongly opposed it and did not allow him to continue to tarnish the image of the Sun Knight, so he had no choice but to put on the old sword's vest again.
"Wow, Hina Kurosaki? She's really pretty. How about a date at the bar later?"
Ren's eyes lit up when he looked at the delicate-looking Hina, and he whistled.
This girl is really amazing. She has fair skin and beautiful appearance, with medium-long pink hair. A rose-red suit highlights her domineering and hot figure, and she also has a sonorous rose-like heroism.
Hina held a cigarette in her mouth. When she heard his exaggerated and frivolous words, she raised her beautiful eyebrows, glanced at Kate, and said:
"Are you sure you didn't pick this guy up from the road?"
The appearance is somewhat similar, but this exaggerated character... I can't compliment him.
"It was indeed picked up."
Artoria nodded and said calmly, "Please don't mind his trash talk, just treat him as taking the wrong medicine."
Renn: "..."
(￣,￣;), hum.
Arturia sat down behind her desk and said without raising her head while sorting out the files:
"Please take him to the personnel department to report and enter him into the military file."
"All right."
Rina blew out the smoke, waved to Ren, and said, "Follow me."
Although her first impression of him was not good, she was the boss's cousin after all, so even if she picked him up, she still had to give him some face.
With a playful smile on his face, Ren looked like a dazed young man. He followed the girl with a very arrogant walking posture, looking left and right along the way.
He is now playing the role of the second generation ancestor and is a well-connected person, so he doesn't need to keep a low profile.
"Your name is Arthur, right?"
In the corridor, Major General Hina walked quickly in front and asked without looking back.
"Well, I, Arthur Pendragon, please give me your advice for the rest of my life." Ren said lazily, his smile getting brighter as he looked at the admirals passing by on the road.
Hina: "..."
Who will be with you for the rest of your life?
She stopped talking.
Renn didn't care about the girl's indifference and was in high spirits along the way.
Does this count as him infiltrating the enemy?
To be honest, wandering around the Navy Headquarters Fortress is much more exciting than sneaking into the Beast Pirates.
