Chapter 1,681 A Certain Magical Super Hanging Man

*************************************************** *************************************************** ****

"The residents of the Sky Tribe have a higher retention rate. Except for the orphans, widows and disabled people who are really unsuitable to live on such a border, they all stayed."

"That's it. Come with me to see it later." After thinking about it, I nodded.

After all, with the Madea Tribe...well, okay, okay, after all, after getting along with each other for that period of time, I have a pretty good relationship with many residents of the Sky Tribe. Among them, I especially miss the adventurous and cute one named Buco. Little loli.

"Yes!" Amrudina responded solemnly.

After taking a look at the magic sand table, I asked Amrudina about the war situation in more detail. Until noon, the three of them had a simple lunch together. After a short rest, they started to visit Lalula Town. Inspection tour.

As the commander-in-chief of the border battlefield and the commander of Lalula Town, Amrudina is very popular here. She has only been walking for ten minutes, and many residents have greeted her.

This is quite embarrassing for Amrudina. It would be too rude not to respond. To respond, it is inevitable to stop. The most important thing is that His Highness is by her side. How can everyone turn a blind eye?

His Highness is obviously so gentle and considerate, so majestic and powerful, so kind and brave. He has sacrificed so much to save everyone, and he is the best I have ever seen. The kindest, greatest man, indeed. Does everyone just pay attention to appearance?

"Amrudina, it seems that you are loved by everyone. Looking at the hot gazes of those male elves, you must have been shown a lot of love."

Seeing Amrudina's dilemma, I can generally understand her current mood. As a subordinate, she is welcomed and loved by everyone, but the superior is left aside. With her character, she must be secretly worried, so I made a small joke.

"Where, where, where...where is it? Your Highness, please don't get me wrong. Absolutely not!"

The effect is achieved. Amrudina immediately forgot her embarrassment, but for some reason, her aura became terrifying, and she clenched her fists, as if to convince me. Taking a step closer, he strongly denied with a serious and solemn expression that was about to cry.

"Is...is that so? What a pity. Amrudina is obviously so good, but is it because she is usually too serious that the people who admire you don't dare to say what's on her mind?"

I was startled by Amrudina's strong reaction, and was overwhelmed by her momentum. I subconsciously took a step back and smiled bitterly.

"Does His Highness the Prince really believe it?" Amrudina was unmoved and still nervously confirmed the topic just now.

"I believe you won't lie to me, right?"

"That... that, of course." Amrudina breathed a sigh of relief and was a little happy. She seemed to have digested my second sentence and was slightly shy.

"Compared with His Highness the Prince, my subordinates are far from mature enough. How could there be... any admirers? Isn't His Highness the Prince a better...better object of admiration than my subordinates?"

"Really? Is it possible?"

I touched my nose in embarrassment, but I was defeated by Amrudina. When did she become so eloquent? How is it possible for an inconspicuous mortal like me.

"Of course! Absolutely! Absolutely possible!" Amrudina clenched her fists again, as if she was afraid that I wouldn't believe it, and looked at me, revealing a strong and determined will, which was so strong and determined that it even gave me a moment of thought. Feel good about yourself.

Could it be that... I'm actually quite popular, a playboy-type heartthrob?

This setting didn't exist from the beginning, really.

When I woke up, I chuckled to myself, and at the same time it became clear that Amrudina was not a clever counterattack just now, she was just saying what she thought was right in her heart.

This ridiculously wrong idea stems from her respect and admiration for me. Although I am very happy, I also feel that Alexander, what would happen if one day she discovers that I am just an ordinary person who cannot be more ordinary. Disappointment?

After all, I am not someone like Artoria who has all-around outstanding talents and can respond to everyone's expectations.

Sighing, I smiled and ordered, "Don't take care of me and Caroline. Return everyone's love properly. Don't let them down."

"Yes...yes." At this time, Amrudina was wailing in her heart. What happened to her just now? She did something very rude in front of His Highness, and she actually spoke to His Highness in such a strong tone.

I am really... really useless. Why do I keep making mistakes in front of His Highness, whom I respect and admire the most, who least want to let him see my mistakes, and who most hope to show my excellence in his eyes? ? If this continues, His Highness's impression of him will definitely become worse and worse.

Thinking of this, Amrudina became even more depressed, feeling that there was no point in even living, but no, how could she give up so easily? You must, you must perform well, let His Highness see your excellent side, let His Highness recognize yourself, and...

If I could... get a little praise, a little reward from His Highness, a little favor from His Highness, such as a pat on the head or something...

Ahhhhhh————! ! ! Amrudina, what are you thinking, you big fool, big fool! !

Kaluge and I looked at each other, and I didn't know why this knight, who was usually serious, upright, unsmiling, and rigid in character, was depressed and blushing all of a sudden.

Forget it, this may be someone else's secret. Peeping it rashly is not good, not good.

After finally wandering around the town of Lalula, I finally came to Madea...well, it's the territory of the Sky Tribe.

It was originally a beautiful park that the people of Lalula Town were proud of and attracted many bards to visit. Because of my reckless behavior at that time, a big pit had to be dug to accommodate the entire raised sky city.

Now. The high platform displayed in front of me still retained the strong visual impact caused by the forced landing, making it difficult for me to imagine myself at that time. What a sudden leap to make such a bold decision.

In this way, the Sky City forcibly settled in the town of Lalula, and in the battle with the black dragon Elias, the town of Lalula was completely destroyed, except for the two sides of it being cut off. Except for the small pieces, it was miraculously preserved completely.

Because of this, both the residents of Lalula town and the villagers of Madeya settlement. They all hope to retain this miracle, and then they have the name Sky Tribe, which is like a shameful play for them.

Now, a few months later, this high platform with a gap of five or six meters has undergone some new changes. The exposed mud and stone walls are decorated with greenery. Several stairs connect the ground and sky tribes. It is no longer necessary to use ropes to go up and down like before.

Amrudina and I climbed a flight of stairs and entered the territory of the Sky Tribe.

For a moment, Amrudina's eyes became hot again. Flickering, the smile on my face that brought me back to my old place has become stiff and petrified.

Very conspicuously, a tall sculpture was erected in the center of this high platform.

A suspended statue about ten meters high.

Why bother to levitate the statue?

Because it is in an inverted state, just like a hanging man in an unscientific electromagnetic gun.

What frightens me the most is that this strange statue looks very much like the Demon Moon Wolf Witch!

Illusion, this must be my illusion.

I took a deep breath, pressed my forehead hard, and opened my eyes again.

The upside-down suspended statue still appeared vividly in his eyes.

"..."

Only now do I understand what real hanging on the floor is, what real shameful play, Sky Tribe, etc. are, compared with the scene in front of me, they are nothing.

He turned back indifferently and looked at Amrudina. Her eyes were filled with hot admiration, but there seemed to be a little bit of pride.

The most sensible thing tells me that she is suspicious.

"Amrudina, this is..."

"This is a statue made by the unanimous consent of the villagers of the Sky Tribe for your compassionate and heroic efforts to save the tribe at all costs." Amrudina immediately replied.

"I know this. It's just a matter of erecting a statue..." He covered his forehead with force to cover the hot tears rolling out of his eyes.

The old man Somako, the village chief of the Madeya tribe, indeed once suggested to me that he should erect a statue for me, but I cleverly brought the topic away. Unexpectedly, he actually advocated doing so without authorization, so that I was surprised.

That's it. If you just build an ordinary statue for me, then forget it. After all, I can tolerate the one in front of the paper factory.

But why, why...

"Why... is the statue suspended upside down?" I asked word by word, holding back the veins on my forehead.

Amrudina, who didn't feel the anger in my heart at all, was still intoxicated in the memories, and replied without thinking: "At the beginning, the village chief of Somako asked for everyone's opinions when he was building the statue. , a subordinate who had personally experienced that miracle and participated in the battle with His Highness, was his main solicitation target. He was asked about the greatest moment that His Highness had witnessed in that battle. The subordinate thought for a long time and felt that His Highness at that time was the most shocking and greatest scene I have ever seen in my life. After everyone discussed and discussed it, among several plans, we finally chose this one."

"That's it, that's it..." He murmured, and a line of hot tears finally couldn't help but roll down from his eyes.

I thought that a few years later, when people visiting the Sky Tribe climbed here and saw the statue, their first words would probably be: "Look, that funny statue, who is the Hanged Man? What did he do?" Wrong, you want to be hung upside down? You also need to build a statue to warn future generations.” This question made me want to throw myself into the twin seabed and go play chess with Elijah’s father, the Mermaid King.

Well, I now have three statues, and I can compete with the three barbarian foodies on the top of Mount Arreat.

My soul smiled sadly and comforted myself like this. When Amrudina and Kaluge arrived, they seemed to appreciate the creativity and shape of the statue, and they kept discussing around the statue.

Could it be the aesthetics of myself and the elves? Is the generation gap really that big?

"Your Highness, it's His Royal Highness the Prince!"

This situation was different from that in La Lula where almost no one recognized him. The Sky Tribe is the original Madea settlement. Lena and I have stayed here for a long time. In addition, as heroes who saved the tribe, they are naturally deeply remembered in our hearts. They just appeared. He was recognized.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of villagers poured out one after another, with warm and grateful eyes. My heart, which was shattered by the statue, was healed a lot.

Soon, the village chief of Somako also came up to me quickly. There was an old lady next to him, who looked familiar. I thought about it for a while, and finally recalled the identity of the other party. Isn't that the old man Lamanya, the mayor of Lalula Town?

"Grandpa Somako and Grandma Lamanya, we haven't seen each other for a while. How are you all?" I greeted with a smile.

"Okay, of course. Your Highness, everyone has been looking forward to your return." Boss Somako is now a grown man. When he saw me, his beard trembled with excitement and his old eyes turned red.

That's a slight exaggeration.

At this moment, a petite figure ran up quickly and threw herself into my arms without saying a word.

The familiar feeling made me immediately recognize the other person's identity. I picked her up and pinched her cute and childish face.

"Little Buco, I came to see you as promised."

"Well, Bu Ke knows that your highness' brother will definitely not break the promise." The little elf loli was choking, and she kept rubbing into my arms, extremely intimate.

"Then you should be happy. You can't cry. Come on, let me see Little Buco's smiling face."

"Yes." Nodding heavily, Xiao Buke immediately held back tears and showed a big, excited, joyful, innocent and bright smile, which made me look so cute.

"Bu Ke is so good." I touched her head as a reward.

For some reason, this action attracted the attention of Amrudina, who was standing behind her. She seemed...a little envious?

Well, it must be my imagination.

"Hey, it's really incredible. Our little Bu Ke has turned out to be a little hunter." Only then did I realize that Bu Ke was wearing light green elf clothing and an animal skin vest. With a small bow on his back, he looks like a cute version of a loli hunter.

"You're either a kid or a hunter. Your Highness' brother is bullying others." Xiao Buke coquettishly pushed his forehead to my chin.

"Yes, yes, our little Buco is the most beautiful and adorable hunter." I said quickly.

"Hey, hey," Xiaobu smiled shyly. Her innocent and sunny face, as well as her sparkling, clear and lovely eyes, really have some of Sarah's charm back then, and she will definitely be a great beauty in the future, hmm.

"Xiao Bu Ke hasn't told me yet, why did he become a hunter?" I asked curiously.

"Bu Ke wants to be like your highness' brother." The little loli said childishly and firmly as she came up to me affectionately and bit my ear.

"Next time, let Bu Ke protect your highness brother and fulfill your highness brother's wish."

"Really? Xiaobu is amazing, so I'll look forward to it."

"It's agreed." Xiao Buke stretched out his little little finger.

"Well, it's agreed." I said with a slight smile.

It seemed that I had made many agreements with this little loli without even realizing it.

Afterwards, all the villagers of the Sky Tribe held a grand welcome party for me, and the laughter continued until nightfall. Thinking of this mission, I had to be in the presence of everyone, especially the little Loli Buco. In his eyes, he said goodbye and left.

A beautiful day, even better if that statue could be removed.

Bathing in the night, the three of them walked on the way back.

"It seems that the war on the border has not affected everyone, Amrudina, you have done a good job." Stepping on the smooth blue and white stone road, I looked around and saw the twinkling lights in the houses. , making people feel particularly warm.

"This is the duty of my subordinates." Amrudina seemed to be moved by such a gentle night. Although her voice was firm, it became exceptionally soft.

"With you in charge of the border, Artoria and I can rest assured."

We chatted all the way, and soon we returned to the military camp. Amrudina was very attentive and had already ordered the soldiers to set up a tent for Kalue and me while we were out.

Huh?

A tent?

I looked at Amrudina speechlessly, and she blinked her moist eyes in aggrieved manner, looking at me inexplicably, as if to say: Isn't it a matter of course that the master and his personal maid live together?

"I'd better set up another tent." I sighed and looked into the inventory. Fortunately, I had developed the habit of carrying a simple tent with me. Although it was a bit crude, it was enough to provide shelter from the wind and rain.

"Your Highness, I'll just sleep on the floor." Carolie said.

"It's not a matter of who sleeps on the bed and who sleeps on the floor." I smiled bitterly. It seems that my relationship with Caroline is not close enough to live in the same tent.

"Why not? Didn't sister once live in the same tent as His Highness?" Carolie asked unclearly, with a hint of unwillingness in her tone.

Hey, hey, hey, don't get into a confrontation with that stupid maid in a place like this!

I pressed my temples with a headache and sighed. At this moment, the savior came.

"I'm sorry, this subordinate didn't think well, but we can't let Lady Carole live on the ground, let alone His Highness, live in such a simple tent. If you don't mind, just stay in the subordinate's tent for one night." Amrudina suggested.

Oh, this is a good idea. Wouldn’t it be enough to let the two girls Kaluge and Amrudina use one tent? I nodded my head, praising Amrudina for her carefulness, but the next words she said made me fall to the ground.

"I just need to sleep on the floor."

I:"……"

Sorry, Amrudina, I seriously overestimated your emotional intelligence... (To be continued
