"But don't be too happy too early. Even I can't resolve the grievances of the clansmen against you. Therefore, your biggest obstacle now is the clansmen. How to gain their approval, you have to figure this out yourself."

Before I could finish my joy, Mamajia narrowed her eyes and smiled, and told the cruel truth, which made me feel as if I had been splashed with ice water.

Indeed, with the character of the little fox, if I continue to have a heartless relationship with her as a lover, there will be no problem at all. However, if I want to marry her, marry her back openly and confidently every night

To push me down on the bed and have sex, I must get the consent of the foxes, otherwise the little fox will reject my proposal very [taking the overall situation into account].

Does the little fox want to marry me? I think the answer is yes. Except for little saints like Little Ghost who have weird personalities and ideas, there is no woman who doesn’t want to have a formal marriage. But the little fox has two concerns.

The first is that our abilities are too different to be together after we get married. She can't bear such a separation. This problem can be solved reluctantly after she passes the second Sky Fox test.

The second point is the feelings of the fox people. As the Holy Lady of the Sky Fox, she is responsible for the future of the entire fox people. She cannot ignore the thoughts of the people and hold a wedding with me.

What should I do? Forget it, let’s wait until the little fox passes the test. One person will be short-term and the other will be strong. Then we, the young couple, will have a good discussion. Maybe this test of the Sky Fox will also make the fox people treat me.

A chance to change things, huh.

After forcing myself to comfort myself, I temporarily put this issue behind me and started discussing business.

"Grandma Mamaga, I heard that you have contacted Lucia who is in the test, is that true?"

"That's right, she is safe now." Mamajia showed a wary look, fearing that I would interfere with the little fox's Sky Fox test.

"There's no food and water, right?" I looked helpless. How long do you want the little fox to stay in there?

"We are currently researching, and we already have some ideas. We should be able to deliver the necessities to Lucia before she runs out of food." Mamaga took a sip and was as calm as a mountain.

"Mamajia, you treat Lucia like your own granddaughter. Aren't you worried that she will be in danger if she stays in there for too long?" Seeing Mamajia's expression of indifference, I could only say something.

Straight.

"I was very worried at the beginning, but isn't it very safe now? I believe Lucia." Mamaga held the cup, and the water in the cup swayed slightly, showing that she was not as calm and peaceful as she appeared in her heart.

"It is precisely because of understanding Lucia that she made such a choice. She is a strong child, and she is also a child favored by the goddess of luck. Besides, she is so anxious to take the second Sky Fox test, not because she wants to be fast.

Do you want to follow in Wu’s footsteps?”

Facing Mamaga's rebel general, I could only smile bitterly: "Because of this, I am particularly worried, afraid of her showing off her strength and afraid of losing her."

"Indeed, the Sky Fox test is unusual. Staying inside for a long time will be life-threatening, but..." Mamaga's eyes fell outside and sighed.

"However, in this world, who is not like this? Civilians are afraid of encountering demons and famine, adventurers are afraid of fatal negligence in battle, and decision-makers like me and the Great Elder Akala are even more afraid of making mistakes.

, bringing immeasurable losses to the entire race, which will be more painful than the punishment of death."

"The vast majority of people have to go through many hardships from the beginning. The stronger the strength or the greater the responsibility, the more they walk on thin ice and are frightened at every step. But Lucia has both. Wu, do you think she can

Do you want to live like a greenhouse flower?"

"Even so." I blushed at Mamaga's words, unable to refute but not giving up.

"The Sky Fox test is too dangerous. I don't deny that adventurers' experiences are full of dangers. If you are not careful, you may die. However, all of this is based on a death probability lower than this. If it is higher than this

There is a probability that even if they are willing to use this method to practice, our alliance will not allow it."

"But this is Lucia's own choice, isn't it? She decided to take the second test in advance, and she should bear this realization."

"Grandma Mamaga, what you say doesn't sound like someone who raised Lucia with her own hands and treated her as her own granddaughter."

"Wu, I didn't make this decision based solely on my own subjective thoughts. I believe Bailang and the others also told you what Lucia said during the short few seconds of contact, those four words,

If she had backed down and was unwilling to persist any longer, she would not have said that I was fine, but should have sent out a cry for help. This was Lucia's own will."

I looked at Mamaga with my mouth wide open and was speechless for a long time.

"Perhaps, Grandma Mamaga, what you said makes sense, but why am I so depressed and feeling sad for Lucia?" Finally, I punched the air hard, leaving nowhere to vent my inner depression.

"Wu, this is not the sorrow of Lucia alone, but the sorrow of the entire Dark Continent. For the future, everyone has shouldered a heavy responsibility, especially you and Lucia. Maybe you can choose to escape, but,

Before the day of selection comes, you will all shoulder this responsibility and shoulder everyone's expectations and move forward."

Mamajia patted my arm earnestly and said forcefully: "Heroes emerge in troubled times, but throughout history, more than 90% of heroes were forced to emerge. If people know what lies behind the glory of a hero, they will have to shoulder the responsibility."

Something, believe me, not many people want to be heroes."

"Lucia and I are the idiots who are forced to be heroes step by step?" I pointed at myself and smiled bitterly.

"At times like this, it's a good choice to have fun in the midst of hardship." In the heavy atmosphere, Mamaga rarely had a moment of humor.

"Okay, Grandma Mamaga, I can't refute what you said." After a pause, I fixed my gaze: "But, even if I say a thousand words, I still can't ignore Lucia like this."

"I knew you wouldn't give up so easily." Mamajia nodded, not thinking that she could easily convince the other party: "However, Wu, even if you can convince me, you must also convince several other elders. The Sky Fox test is by

We manage it together, I can't be the master alone."

"I know, I will convince them and ask Grandma Mamaga to give me a chance."

I know that Mamaga is trying to shirk. With her highest status as the Great Elder, as long as it is not a matter of principle, the other elders will not object. However, maybe this is also a test for me. If I don’t even know the other elders,

Even the elders couldn't convince her, so why should she speak?

"Just tomorrow, I will call the elders to discuss with you, how about it? But remember, you only have one chance. If you fail to convince the other elders tomorrow, we will not consider your opinions again, but use our own methods.

Keep helping Lucia.”

"I'll understand tomorrow, please, Grandma Mamaga."

"Well, you two should have a good night's rest tonight."

Mamaga, who saw the determination in the opponent's eyes, sighed imperceptibly. The popular man in the alliance in front of him is not so easy to talk to. If he can't convince everyone tomorrow, he may use some other means. Anyway, he can't

Expecting him to give up easily would put you in a dilemma.

After coming out of Mamaga's house, I kept sighing. Judging from Mamaga's tone, tomorrow's meeting is not optimistic.

"Your Highness the Prince." At this moment, Juliet suddenly spoke.

"I think what the great elder said just now, although very reasonable, is not entirely correct."

"Oh? What are you talking about?" I was very interested in Juliet's speech, which suddenly made her upgrade from single-core and single-thread to four-core and eight-thread.

"What to say about heroes."

"Isn't what Grandma Mamaga said wrong? At least I think it is in line with my mood. Maybe this will make everyone feel disappointed. If this hero can resign and let me go home and live a comfortable life, I will

You will do this without saying a word."

"However, it is obviously possible to do this, but His Highness did not do so, right?" Yuliye smiled softly and clasped her hands together. It was a reply that seemed to come out of her mouth, but it left me speechless.

"Because of this, His Highness is a hero. Heroes not only bear a heavy burden. What the Great Elder said is only suitable for ordinary people. However, ordinary people cannot become heroes. This is the contradiction."

"It seems reasonable, but I still feel like something is wrong." I thought for a moment and scratched my head in frustration.

"In short, I am just an ordinary person, not a hero."

"No, His Highness is a hero, Juliet is sure of this."

"Don't say that, you say that... uh." I suddenly discovered a huge problem. Damn it, Juliet called my name correctly five times in a row. This is a new record. Sure enough, it was because of the temporary upgrade of the CPU.

relationship?

"Your Highness, you are a hero."

"Stop talking!"

"Your Highness, you are a hero."

"I told you to stop talking. You think I won't do anything to you because I have a good temper, right?"

"Your Highness, you are a hero."

"I order you to run around the fox tribe."

As a result, Juliet, who ran a lap at her fastest speed in only half a minute, came back and continued to add a sure kill: "Your Highness, you are a hero."

"Oooo------!!!"

A certain druid's desperate wails of collapse could be heard. Probably in the future, these words will become a shadow in his soul just like you are a good person.

…

The next day, all the elders of the Fox Tribe gathered together. In fact, there were not many. Compared with the Bear Tribe, whose population had surged to two to three hundred thousand, it was less than half. Including Mamaga, there were only five. In this way,

As long as I get through the work of two of the elders, plus Mamaga, I can realize my idea with a three-to-two vote advantage.

I felt that the task suddenly became much easier. I cheered up, but as soon as I came into contact with the other four elders who looked at me with anti-thief eyes, I knew something was wrong. It seemed that they didn't even care about my favorability.

It doesn’t even count.

It doesn't matter, it's time for my max level talking skills to show off.

"My dear elders, I am very grateful that you can take time out of your busy schedule to listen to me. Maybe my suggestion will be a little willful, but please be sure that everyone here has the best wishes for Lucia in their hearts.

We are all here because we care about each other. Our thoughts may be different, but our purpose is the same.”

"Elder Fan, I have already explained the specific situation to all the elders in advance. Can you put forward your ideas for everyone's reference?" Mamajia, as the great elder, spoke first, and the implication was to let everyone know.

Don't be polite, just tell me what you have to say.

"Then let me tell you straight. Before this, last night, Elder Mamaga and I had met. The words that Elder Mamaga said to me should also represent the common aspirations of all the elders.

Is that so?"

The other four fox elders nodded slightly in recognition.
