It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 466 Uncle Luo Wei Didn’t Come Home Today

"I see……"

After being invited to the reception room and listening to the stories of several people, Kidd slowly touched his chin.

"There is such an inside story. I was wondering why the pace of our dispatch seemed to have been agreed upon with Shiyuan."

"Do you know something?" Loveli looked at him uncertainly. She essentially refused to invite the Second Prince, whom she had just met, to discuss things.

Kidd sat up and thought for a moment, then picked up the bear biscuits on the table and said, "I didn't expect the afternoon tea at Lion Garden to be so elegant and interesting. Do you usually have similar activities?"

Lovely: "?"

Does this have anything to do with what we are talking about now?
"Sorry... I'm just interested in new things," Kidd hid the biscuits in his pocket, then calmed down and said, "Although Difas always chats with me, we talk more about afternoon tea and imperial education than military affairs."

So you don't know anything, right?
and also……

Don't be so serious and do something weird! You are a prince, what's the big deal about a cookie?

"Difas would not do anything unnecessary," Kidd continued seriously, taking another biscuit and hiding it in another pocket, acting as if he ate it carelessly, "So if he sent troops to Valais Mountain but the Prime Minister of Lion Court took away the things, there must be some kind of deal between the two parties."

"Deal?" Regardless of the strange behavior of the prince in front of him, what the other party said was really worrying.

"The Empire has its own problems, too. It is understandable that Difas would cooperate with a foreign chancellor to a certain extent when it is isolated and helpless." Kidd put the biscuits in his mouth this time, but obviously not the two hidden in his pocket. "So if you can persuade the chancellor to withdraw the troops, the Hooffire Empire should also take the same action. In this regard, I am willing to provide some help at the right time."

"Really?" Talia was incredulous.

They had just met and explained the situation, but the prince of Hooffire was actually willing to help them! ?

"Of course," Kidd looked up at her, "I see the will of Valais in your eyes. The Empire has actually experienced similar difficult times as you. People's will should be respected and continue to exist. Blind hegemony will not bring peace. This is the meaning of the reformed electoral system."

"Well said!" Ryan spoke highly of Kidd's idea.

"However," Kidd smiled at them, "the descendants of the indomitable Red Rose Family of Valais Mountain, the adventurer who united many forces in the No Crown City incident, and the Blue Gold Saint of the Mist Temple, if you feel too hopeless about the future, I welcome you to come to the Hooffire Empire at any time, and your talents will definitely be fully utilized."

Lovelli frowned when she heard this familiar rhetoric.

How short of people is this guy?

Luo Wei stared at her clever little head from behind and shook his head. Who do you think is responsible for recruiting people here?

These days, with the joining of the White Bell Knights and the resolution of the orc slave issue, barons and viscounts began to swear allegiance to the princess one after another.

So, now it’s a question of qualification for the elite competition.

"I don't mind letting you participate," Lovely said with her head lowered, "but if I give you the qualification directly, it will cause dissatisfaction, so I will try to find another way."

"No need to go through so much trouble." Talia's eyes were calm and she took out a few scrolls from her arms.

"This is?"

Lovely saw that it was stained with blood.

"These are the candidates originally selected by Valais Mountain to participate in the elite competition," Talia said, holding the scrolls with an unusual heaviness, "Some of them are seriously injured, and some have already... But the three scrolls here are their letters of authorization to transfer their qualifications to us."

Lovely nodded, understanding what she meant.

Although there is no precedent for transferring elite competition qualifications, it is not impossible to use it to convince other contestants. We just need to think of a way to make it work.

"That's it, then. It's not surprising that a country at war with Lion Garden would send contestants. If you really intend to revive Valais Mountain in that way, then I suggest you start preparing now."

"Huh?" Talia was stunned.

"Since you are representing your country, I will arrange a room for you in the annex," Lovell responded, "but from my position, this is the best I can do."

"!"

Talia immediately understood what it meant and quickly lowered her head.

"Thank you, I really...thank you so much."

After the matter was finalized, the group enjoyed a short afternoon tea. Before leaving, Kidd suggested taking the remaining biscuits back with him, and Lovely did not stop him.

After returning to his room.

Kidd asked the guarding knight to retreat, then hid the plate behind his back and moved towards the bedroom.

“Shh…shhh…”

Two whistles were blown, and there was a slight movement behind the curtain. A little girl with a beautifully tied hair whip timidly poked her head out. She looked about five or six years old.

Kidd walked over and took out a bear biscuit from his pocket.

"Look, what is this?"

When the little girl saw the bear-shaped biscuit, she immediately smiled, happily took it with both hands, and ate it with a smacking sound.

Seeing the other person eating happily, Kidd touched his head, then took out a piece from his other pocket like a magic trick and handed it to him.

Now the little girl was even happier.

"How is it? Is it delicious? Do you want to continue eating?"

“I want to~!”

"Very good," Kidd smiled gently, and then brought out a whole afternoon tea snack stand, "I brought you out this time without telling our father, so you better be good and don't run around. If you are caught by bad guys, you won't be able to eat such delicious snacks in the future, and you won't be able to see me, your brother, either."

"Yes!" The little girl nodded vigorously, "Noelle will listen to my brother~"

Patting his sister's head lovingly, Kid let her play with the snacks by herself and gave a few instructions to his sister's personal maid standing beside him.

Then he stood up and left the bedroom, walked alone to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, and looked at the prosperous streets of Lion Garden City outside the window.

"Sister, you are really pushing me into a dead end."

……

After meeting up with Irus who had rushed over after receiving the call, Luo Wei handed Loveli to her.

Seeing Ryan, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, was there, the two of them greeted each other briefly.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Long time no see." Irus said this while looking at Luo Wei and smiled faintly.

"So, you guys are going to be together next time, right?" Lovely interrupted, "Are you going back to the manor tonight?"

"It depends on the situation." Luo Wei, whose shoulders were held by Ryan, spread his hands. He didn't know either.

"Don't forget what happened in the court tomorrow. The nobles all sent me letters when you were absent the day before yesterday!"

After saying this, Lovely left with Irus nodding and saying goodbye to them.

In fact, although she didn't say it out loud, the princess made the right choice to let Ryan and his team live in the annex. On the one hand, she wanted to allow the people from Valais Mountain to be a formal contestant. On the other hand, she couldn't fail to see Ryan's talent. Letting him stay there would not only ensure his safety, but also allow her to get news from him about the countries behind the other contestants. The Hooffire Empire, the Principality of Aselant, Levi = Korusel...

These countries all have their own purposes behind coming to Lion Garden, and there may be considerable trouble involved. Ryan is undoubtedly the best person to coordinate and mobilize them.

"Shall we go too?" Ryan said with a smile.

"You really know how to order people around," Luo Wei said with a look of sarcasm, "Can't you just let me walk by myself? Are you afraid that I'll run away?"

"Haha, it's not like you haven't done this before. Jas and the others have always wanted to meet you."

In the following time, they went to meet up with Shelongde and others.

This group of people said they were going to look for a hotel, but one or two of them disappeared while wandering around, and they had to look for them one by one in the scattered city areas.

Joey, who had done the only serious thing, had just paid the deposit for the hotel when he heard the news that he would move directly into the villa. His expression looked as if he had eaten dog shit.

"Does the world have a grudge against me?" He walked out of the hotel with a look of deep thought like Qiao.

"Come on," said Jutman sarcastically, "Take a few steps forward and look at your reflection in the water. Do you think you deserve it?"

This group of people is really the same old.

No matter what, they were his teammates from the previous round after all, and Luo Wei did not have no feelings for them at all.

"How is Mother Goddess?" asked the cold Jas. He was obviously taller than the last time they met, but he was still as thin as before.

"The last letter she received was two days ago," Luo Wei responded. "After hearing that we rescued a group of slaves in the royal city, she hoped to arrange for a few tribesmen to come and guide them."

"That's good."

The group strolled along the street for the entire afternoon and it was almost dusk.

John was relieved when he heard that Clothes had not yet been promoted to a first-level craftsman. Jinlis was still as incoherent as before, but he had been promoted to a god.

The men didn't say anything sentimental to each other, but even Talia could see that after seeing Rowe, they talked a lot more and became more talkative.

Ryan had the same feeling. Although they had fought side by side several times, Rowe was able to integrate into the team without any obstacles.

It was as if this was originally his place.

At some point, he began to have inexplicable thoughts, as if something was being taken away from him, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was.

"No need." Luo Wei pushed away the ugly hat that Joey handed to him with disgust.

After having a sumptuous dinner at the restaurant recommended by Rowe, Joey asked Joe-style questions while tearing chicken legs.

"You guys, you don't bring those girls to this nice place to eat every day, do you?"

"No, you are the first one. Do you want to celebrate your luck?"

The more Ryan looked at this scene, the more he had this thought.

But...what the heck.

He smiled and raised his glass. No matter what, there was always a place for Luo Wei here.

Sherond patted his shiny head in a simple manner and shared the meat on the plate with Jinlis, while Shuger ate his meal calmly opposite him and did not raise his glass in response to Joey's topic.

After eating and drinking, the group went to the hot springs together. As a woman, Talia naturally couldn't join them, and Shuger didn't come in either.

"Let me tell you," Joey approached Rowe mysteriously, "That guy Shuger is very suspicious. I've never seen him go to the bathroom! Last time we went to the beach, I finally managed to get him in, but guess what, he was wearing a one-piece swimsuit!"

"You have a good relationship with him." Luo Wei joked.

I didn't expect that the Blue Gold Saint of the Mist Temple could get along with them in such a subtle way.

"Hey, you don't understand me," Joey said seriously, "I suspect that guy is actually a woman! Sometimes when I look at him, I think he has a handsome face for some reason..."

"Are you sure it's not because you've been with men for too long? Didn't you see Jas had a handsome face before?"

"!?"

No----! ! !
Joey fell into deep self-doubt.

"And don't you have a woman in your team now?" Luo Wei said with pity.

"You don't mean Talia, do you?" Joey looked up at him in horror. "Well, I mean... I might have been interested in her at first, but then I saw her ugly face for a long time... I couldn't help but think she looked like a man..."

After saying this, Joey fell into self-doubt again.

Is it really that there is something wrong with me...

"Hey!" Talia's voice came from the next cubicle. "It's not like I can't hear you. Who are you saying is a man? Who are you saying is ugly?!"

Just from this response, we can see how they usually get along with each other. Talia is a descendant of the nobility, so she is naturally not bad looking. If she dresses up a little, she will probably be an absolute beauty. But they live a life-and-death struggle in the Valais Mountains every day, with tense nerves and muddy days, so naturally they don't have any aesthetic thoughts.

This can be seen from the scars on each of their bodies, even Ryan has a scar on his chest.

"It seems like you've really been through a lot." Luo Wei said, looking at the wounds.

"There were times when I felt like I could never come back..." Joey lost himself in thought as he thought about those times. Suddenly, he turned his gaze to Luo Wei. "By the way, boy, aren't you a little too clean? I think you look pretty."

"..."

Luo Wei was speechless.

But Joey refused to let him go: "You must have had a very hard life since the last time we met, and experienced a very tragic battle, right? You must not have been flirting with girls every day, right?"

"I think it's better for you not to know." Jutman answered on his behalf.

"Damn it!! You damned winner in life! What kind of life did you have to be born into to have such a good fate!!"

“Hahaha…” Ryan laughed, “If Joey finds a lover to be with, maybe he won’t go on adventures with us.”

"Forget it then," Joey said without thinking, then lowered his head and began his third doubt.

“Why do I have such thoughts…”

Seeing him like this, everyone in the hot spring burst into laughter, including Rowe, Ryan, and Talia in the other compartment.

……

In the living room of the summer manor where several people were enjoying themselves comfortably, Vimile couldn't help but glance in the direction of the door.

"He hasn't come back yet..."

"Uncle Luo Wei, he hasn't come back yet..."
