The purpose of Yufia's visit this time was to send bodyguards to Suli.
The danger of Sadina City has increased significantly at a visible speed recently. The disputes within the alliance are not only reflected in the people standing in front of the stage and the dialogues full of verbal attacks, but more in the undisguised assassinations and targeting in secret.
Euphia hasn't slept well for two or three days.
Three days ago, a three-star mercenary in the alliance publicly stated that he would withdraw from the Mercenary Alliance, and after this information was widely publicized, he formed a new mercenary union in his own name that was not affiliated with the Mercenary Alliance.
It's called Lions Clubs.
The other side is extreme militant missionism.
When Euphia was making soft changes to the Alliance's mission system, the leader of the Lions Club informed the merchants or nobles who issued the missions that they could accept all combat missions.
Even if you pay enough money to hire two mercenaries to fight to the death, you can do that.
There are far more people who value money over their lives than Euphia imagined. Although she had repeatedly stated after leaving the Sully family last time that the commission for ordinary missions was not necessarily lower than that for combat missions, and that this was a new system that could be sustained...
But I didn't get any positive feedback from those fighting maniacs.
Since she is destined to prove right and wrong with strength, Euphia will never choose to give up. However, before that, she must first ensure Sully's safety.
When I arrived at the small western-style building, I was shocked to find that there was no door at all...
So, in Euphia's view, Sully's sadness over not having rice to eat was the fatigue caused by the crisis.
Egbert is only one person after all, and two fists cannot beat four hands, not to mention what if the Lions Club thinks Sully is something they can use to avenge Euphia...
Euphia felt cold sweats running down her back just thinking about it.
"I think you need more protection."
After saying this, Euphia suddenly shook her head violently: "No! Nothing will be safer than staying by my side. Damn it, how could I think that sending a few more bodyguards can completely protect you?"
"I should bring you back to the Alliance!"
Euphia's eyes sparkled, she thought this was a great idea.
—So how did the topic change from the city being dangerous to wanting to bring him home?
Suli didn't understand.
Egbert said without thinking: "Impossible."
"Euphia, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
"Want to bring Lord Sully to your side so that he can give you more guidance?" Egbert asked sarcastically in a rhetorical tone, "Such things should stay in your dreams."
"Do you want to fight, Egg, or do you think that the city of Sadina, with all kinds of people moving around, can completely hide your information?" Euphia was referring to Egbert.
Just as Egbert knew from the beginning that Euphia was not just a front for the Mercenary Alliance, Euphia also knew that Egbert was the traitor Son of God when she saw his face.
If he was discovered by the Knights of Light, not only would Egbert not be able to continue staying by Sully's side, he would be kidnapped and sent to the gallows, and it is not impossible for him to meet the God of Light as a soul.
"This is not the reason why you want to trap Lord Sully in a small world." Egbert was still unwilling to accept Euphia's proposal.
Euphia sneered: "Don't use your brain filled with a ton of seawater to privately speculate on my thoughts."
"Three-star mercenaries are not something you can defeat easily. The leader of the Lions Club has already reached the peak of the science level, and is only one step away from entering the attribute level. Or do you think that the light element is definitely more noble than other elements?"
Egbert's eyes widened and he called her name in a scolding tone.
"Euphia!"
"Egbert, this is just a dispute within the city of Sadina. Do you think that if Suli's existence is exposed to the Vatican and those light elementalists find out that you are involved with Suli, he won't be implicated?"
Egbert was so angry that he bit his tongue or his lower lip, and red blood flowed down his face.
When they were still about to continue arguing, Suli took the initiative to say, "I don't need a bodyguard."
"I am a weakling without any special powers. I know this very well. But it is precisely because I am a weakling that I cannot walk around by the river. So I will just stay in this small building. Whether it is protection or harm, I will take it. As for Egbert..."
"Ms. Euphia." Sully looked serious for the first time. "The premise of being implicated is that I believe I will suffer harm that I shouldn't suffer."
"But if the so-called Knights of Light do appear and choose to harm me, I will not think that it is caused by Egbert."
"Rather than seeing the potential for harm as a connection, I would rather see us as accomplices."
"After all, it was because I spent a gold coin to hire him that Egbert came to this city." Suli was very rational from beginning to end, "Otherwise there would be no origin between us."
"The initiative has never been in Egbert's hands, but in mine."
This is a lie. Sully really thought Egbert was a fool at first.
But does it matter?
It doesn't matter.
People are biased. Even if the landlord offers a cheaper price, Sully will not value Euphia more than Egbert because of this.
To Sully, Euphia was a landlord worth making friends with, but to Sully, Egbert was not only a creditor, but also a savior.
When he first crossed over to this world, he was on the verge of starvation.
If it weren't for Cyril, Sully would have just waited for death after confirming his travel through time.
And if it weren't for Egbert, Sully and Cyril would probably still be beggars in the chaotic town of Jisso.
"I am very grateful for Miss Euphia's concern for my personal safety, but I still think that as long as you don't drive me away from this small western-style building that I can rent for a silver coin a month, then I will always be a tenant here."
Suli blinked his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was saying happily: "Sadina is a good city."
Euphia suddenly lost her temper.
Even if everyone in the world said that the guardian of Sriqing City was a traitor, she should not question the people who stood by Suli.
"You will protect him, right?" Euphia looked at Egbert.
She gave up the idea of having her father's men serve as bodyguards for Sully.
Perhaps it was because the three people who rented this small western-style house had a bond that she could not overcome.
Even if her goal was to join them, not divide them...
Egbert looked at Euphia with a firm gaze and a resolute tone: "Before I die."
Until his death, he will do his best to protect Suli.
This subtitle is so straightforward that even Sully can understand it.
Su Li's mouth twitched, and he said, "That's not necessary."
"No." Euphia waved her hands. "This is what he should do."
Euphia saw it at a glance. After Sully said the word accomplice, Egbert's eyes turned red and he looked up at the person in front of him with a shocked expression.
It is not that difficult to trust Egbert's unilateral statement. People with a pure heart can easily give such trust, such as Cyril.
When Cyril first learned what happened to Egbert, he was extremely angry and did not even question the truth of the matter. Although this could easily be called naive, it also proved that he had a pure heart.
But Sully is not such a pure person. When Egbert told him his story, the first thing he thought of was the possibility of conspiracy.
And now, Suli's choice is also based on weighing the pros and cons.
This is what touched Egbert the most.
There was a person who knew what kind of attacks he would face if he was on the same side as him, but he still stood firmly by his side. For the Son of God who was betrayed by the city he protected...
Absolutely not.
To Egbert, what Sully said was something worth engraving word for word.
While suppressing his overly surging emotions, Egbert actually noticed Euphia's undisguised joy when Sully said that Sardina was a good city.
It's clear that the chaos here is so bad that not long ago, the door of the small western-style building was blown up by an elementalist...
The words that Yuphia said to Suli had already been extended to -
The most important thing about a city is not just the city itself, but the people living in it. Rather than saying that Suli is praising this city that can blow up its own gate, it is better to say that Suli believes that Sadina will become a good city under the changes led by her, Euphia.
This is the same trust, no less than the trust in Egbert.
What could be more gratifying than being recognized by someone you recognize?
No more.
So Egbert and Euphia were very happy.
Only Suli looked blankly at the two people who were arguing with each other not long ago, and the next second they started talking about a topic that he could not understand.
"You will never be able to return to the Church of Light again."
Even if the truth is finally revealed to the world, Euphia doesn't think Egbert will still be willing to be a dog for the Pope.
"Yes."
"Instead of going back to the past, it is better to go to the other side that has never been imagined." Egbert said directly without hiding anything.
Euphia's eyes widened.
"If you really dare to do that, it will definitely be more than just risking your life to protect Suli."
"I know exactly what I should do, and Lord Suli will definitely understand and support me."
The light coming in from the doorway where the door was missing made half of Egbert's body still in the light, while the other half was completely in shadow.
