Chapter 87-87- Moving
Considering that he had already used all his strength, the opponent, as a commander, should also find it difficult to retain any strength, so Commander Zi quickly came to the conclusion that "the levels of both sides are comparable."
This was not the answer he wanted to see, but since he really couldn't win, he could only change his strategy and use a method that he was not good at, which was a method that humans liked to use, that is - negotiation.
"You are very strong, we can talk." Commander Zi said after a moment of silence, his tone surprisingly becoming somewhat polite.
"What do you want to talk about?" Yvette was a little surprised.
The Purple Commander said, "First, I wish to understand why you have been lingering around Kux for so long and continuously attacking the hive guards. Which monarch sent you here?"
Obviously, at this time he had already suspected that this silver-haired girl was not the local leader of Kuroshio Island, but an outsider like him.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to keep doing so many weird and confusing things around here.
Yvette shook her head and said, "What if I say there's no mission and it's just my own curiosity?"
Commander Zi thought that it would be more reliable for you to say that you were bewitched by Abella.
Seeing that Commander Purple clearly didn't believe it, Yvette sighed inwardly. Curiosity was indeed only part of the reason, but if she said that I asked your Nest Guards to be my sparring partners in order to write the "Fire Magic Codex", that would probably sound even more ridiculous.
She then asked, "I know what you are doing here. The goddess will not allow this to happen. Is the King of Tianhai prepared for this?"
Commander Zi was shocked. The worst thing really happened. Could this guy really be a spy sent by another monarch to find something wrong with the King of Tianhai?
But his expression did not change: "You have no evidence."
Yvette said, "Does the Goddess need evidence to make a judgment on something like this? Why are there so few aberrations in this area, and why did the mechanical gods suffer such heavy losses in Kux?"
When the incident of the Divine Grace intruder was mentioned, Commander Zi's expression finally changed. He gritted his teeth and said, "This... has nothing to do with the 'King'! This is my personal act!"
After a pause, he thought of something and asked gloomily, "What do you want to express by mentioning this?"
"What I mean is very simple, a little compensation and a little hush money, which is nourishment."
The corners of Yvette's mouth curled up slightly, looking a little evil, but still very cute. She smiled and said, "I don't think you would want the news that the Purple Commander under the King of Tianhai secretly crossed the border and ran to Kuroshio Island to plunder nutrients to be known to everyone on the mainland, right?"
Hearing this, Commander Zi fell silent. He looked calmly at the silver-haired girl below, his eyes flickering constantly, as if he was secretly calculating the gains and losses.
…
The tense standoff lasted nearly half an hour.
Of course, this is just from an observer's perspective.
In fact, after making that request, Commander Zi agreed after considering it for about five minutes - as long as it was not sent by other monarchs to find fault with him, hush money and the like were all acceptable.
Besides, he couldn't defeat the other party. If a conflict really came, he would only fight and retreat, and let the Pale Mother Nest ask the King of Sky and Sea for help.
Half an hour later, the nutrients arrived, and a large piece of purple-red flesh emerged from the courier whale's mouth.
These are all the remaining nutrients in the entire Kux. They were originally planned to be sent to Yuanliu North Sea in a while, but now they have all been taken out, which is enough to show Commander Zi's sincerity, or in other words, his fear of Yvette.
In order to avoid being seen from behind, Yvette walked into the mountain whale's mouth and sucked it clean with her tentacles in a place where no one could see. After deducting the 3,000 points of expenditure today, she still gained an additional 4,000 points of distortion magic, bringing the distortion magic to 54,000.
In other words, this piece of flesh and blood provided a full seven thousand points of distortion magic, which was equivalent to the total amount of distortion magic that the entire Agashe could harvest.
Afterward, Yvette returned to the valley entrance in a good mood. Although she didn't know what Commander Purple was thinking, she was quite satisfied with the hush money.
For an immortal who has no external pressure in life, it is really a good deal to be able to avoid risks such as life-threatening fights and earn an extra 4,000 points of distortion magic in peace and stability.
"Remember what you said. Don't let the news leak out, or I won't let you go, and neither will the king."
After Commander Zi finished speaking, he looked at Yvette deeply, then immediately turned around and led the mighty group of mountain whales back home.
…
The aggressive deformed army retreated on its own initiative. Such an unexpected development caught the puppets in the valley off guard, and they felt relieved as if they had survived a disaster.
But what shocked them even more was, of course, the strength displayed by Yvette.
They didn't know how it was done, but they roughly guessed that it was done with the help of some magical equipment, just like the Divine Grace.
But even so, they clearly remembered that a divinely blessed person from the Holy Temple had been defeated in Kux and lost a combat partner.
In this way, Miss Yvette, who was able to repel the army of Kux's deformed monsters on her own, must be stronger than the Divine Grace, have a higher realm, and be more respected by the Temple!
Combined with her natural and tranquil temperament, which was like that of a human being, a surprising answer slowly emerged in the minds of Tongpi and other local residents.
Could it be that Miss Yvette is actually a messenger of God with a hidden identity?
…
As the mountain whales retreated, the Puppet Kingdom, which had been on edge before, quickly restored peace and tranquility.
But this is definitely just on the surface, because the spectacular battle scenes seen during the day will probably keep people's hearts surging for a long time.
So, after getting up the next morning and wandering around the valley, Yvette received many times more solemn greetings from the puppets than usual, and their attitude was much more respectful, as if they had completely regarded her as the agent of God.
This made her feel very uncomfortable. On the one hand, she was indifferent by nature and didn't like the feeling of being the center of attention. On the other hand, she was already very familiar with the puppets. Such a drastic change in attitude made her feel a little unfamiliar with the entire kingdom.
Especially since she is actually a human being, she couldn't help but wonder, if she directly revealed her true identity, would these puppets kneel down to her collectively?
This was not impossible. After all, she had once discovered that a poorly written fictional romance novel with a palace background had become popular in the Puppet Kingdom as a real historical document, causing many puppets' minds to be poisoned by its content.
Therefore, it is difficult to predict what the reaction would be if it were to be discovered that Yvette was human.
but……
She has been here for so long, and her original intention was to find out Cooks' secret. Now that the truth is out and she has earned 4,000 points of distortion magic, she suddenly feels that it is time to pack her bags and set off for the next stop.
Nine years was definitely not a long time for her, but it wasn't a short time either.
…
On the afternoon of the second day after the crisis was resolved, Yvette informed Dugrabi and Bingyu that she was going to leave.
Dougrabi's reaction was relatively calm, he just said "oh", but Yvette could see that he still felt a little regretful. Maybe it was because he had been here for too long and had developed some feelings for the girl, but was too embarrassed to show it.
Bingyu was fine, after all, she was also a traveler and had already expected to leave. In fact, if Yvette's sense of time was not even more outrageous than hers, she might have left this snowy area and gone to the next place years ago.
Back in the RV, Yvette had nothing to do, so she turned on the surveillance camera, intending to spy... no, to monitor Cooks' situation.
Yes, she had installed cameras in the mountains surrounding Kux, allowing her to monitor any visible movement in the city from afar. The signal generator was provided by the Golem Kingdom, originally a spare part used for maintenance of the temple's shrines. It could transmit signals using elemental waves—they were all used during previous expeditions for Dugrabi.
Otherwise, yesterday morning, when Dugrabi sneaked into Kukes and was beaten half to death by the Spider Witch, how could she have noticed it so quickly? She was not a prophet.
Afterwards, after turning on the surveillance, after watching for a while, Yvette discovered that the situation in Kuxne was very unusual. A large number of deformed creatures were pouring into the mouths of the mountain whales.
After their mouths are filled, these mountain whales will soar up and fly towards the snow-capped mountains, obviously intending to cross the mountain ridge and head to the Yuanliu North Sea behind the mountain.
This is……
Transport troops?
No, moving?
Not long after, when Yvette saw the huge pale mother nest, like a big meat bag, relying on its own toothpick-like thin legs and the hard dragging of some mountain whales, barely being carried on the back of the whale group, she finally confirmed that this was the great retreat of the mutant forces in Kuxne.
Otherwise, why let the pale mother nest come out for no reason? Wouldn't it just tire her big stomach?
Immediately, watching the mountain whales carrying the pale mother nest away with difficulty, Yvette's heart moved, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
She thought, they had a conflict yesterday, and now he ran away today. Commander Zi's actions were quite decisive, as if he was scared away by her... Then if she suddenly rushed over and said hello to Commander Zi, would he feel embarrassed?
But she is not such a boring person, so let it go for now.
She was also a little curious about the center of Kux City. After Commander Purple and his Deformed Legion left completely, she planned to go and take a look to see if there were any other valuable discoveries.
