Only the second day after the dragon attacked Perth, the queen's precise orders were reached here. The two spars were put into the national treasury. After all, the spar with such super purity and weight seemed to have greater strategic value than its commercial value. Of course, in addition to this, the Queen did not let go of the people who are in dire straits. With a big wave, the large sum of money that is better than the spar valuation is quickly in place, and there are also various projects and urban planning. The experts in this field can be said to be well-organized and full of fighting spirit.
Even so, it is not an easy task to repair heavily damaged streets and buildings. What's more, the next plan of association is likely to come at any time-Estelle and her friends, who believed in this, had no choice but to immerse themselves in the pile of work while secretly vigilant about the movement of association.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone had long known that association is an illegal organization with unscrupulous means to achieve its goals, it might have been thought of "maybe all associations feel embarrassed" for the peace during this period. Perth finally got on the right track. The association not only didn't take this opportunity to give a fatal blow, but instead seemed to disappear without a trace overnight. Although confused, this is a good thing after all, and because of this, everyone's work efficiency has also improved a lot.
"Thank you, Heliga." In the mayor's office, Maybel said with a smile on his face. Heliga had just sent him the next city planning report. This kind of copywriting work is a test of people's patience and care, and Estiel and others are even more ignorant of this. In the end, under the instruction of Kroth and others, Heliga took on the tasks of housekeeping assistance. Of course, Olivier is also very good at these jobs, but he naturally refused on the grounds that it’s too boring to stay in the office all day. Even the Mayor of Maybell tempted him and promised to take a bottle of Those who were put in jail for stealing it, were not moved by the 500,000 mil worth of red wine as compensation. Therefore, the mayor can only give up this idea.
"Ah, you're welcome." Anyway, it's not important data, it's just a mess-this work is still quite easy for him. Moreover, he has long been accustomed to soaking in his father's study and various research rooms, and he is already familiar with these tasks.
"Today is the last day. I will coordinate the rest of the work, and the people sent by the Queen will do it... Thank you very much for your help, especially you, Heliga... Lila..." Mei Bell's gratitude to Heliga is not without reason, because the boy in front of him not only saved her and Lila, who was sympathetic to her brother, but also provided him with great convenience at work.
"Hey, thank you so many times." Heliga still politely declined. Suddenly he grumbled and remembered something, "Speaking of Miss Lila...her injury is almost healed, right?"
"Well. The church has given me a lot of help. She can now walk around for a long time. She still wants to help take care of my daily life, but I refused." Maybel complained a little, " I blame Agat, if he didn't scare Lila, maybe Lila would recover faster."
"He's just that kind of person." Heliga persuaded that he knew what Maybel was referring to. During the busy period, the Guerrilla Association received a commission. An old woman from the Leman Autonomous Prefecture came to look for Hundred Days. The niece Renee who separated from herself during the war. For ordinary people, this kind of task is naturally like a mud cow entering the sea, with no trace to be found, but Agat, as a black and white, eats all, and is not an ordinary person to the local snake that is extremely familiar. He soon discovered the truth: Maybell's close-knit maid, Lila, a part-time secretary, was the niece the old man was looking for.
However, after the ravages of the war, Lila left a deep wound in her heart. Even with the help of Maybel’s father, the former mayor, she gradually found herself back, she never mentioned her secret. .
For that scene, Lila has always been afraid of meeting her relatives. In the face of this situation, Agath, who had just awakened from self-deception, ignored Lila, and finally let him lay down his burden and meet his relatives.
It is worth mentioning that since then, Maybel's eyes have also changed when looking at Agat. Although everyone was embarrassed to ask for various reasons, Heliga had already asked the matter clearly during the small talk these days. It turned out that during the war, Agat was destroyed by a stray bullet in his and his sister's residence. After Misha died, he spent a long time running between the army and the mayor's house. He didn't understand why the mayor and the army did nothing at home, watching the people he protected were killed in the war.
Regarding Agath’s question, the old mayor at that time, Maybell’s grandfather, could only say in the end that he would give a part of the compensation for the surrender of the Imperial Army to his village.
At that time, Maybel was still young. She saw her grandfather's hard work and pressure on her body and felt pain in her heart; and Agat's rude and rude behavior undoubtedly angered Maybel. Without saying anything, she slapped Agath severely; the grievances between the two began then.
However, time flies, and after so many years, the two are no longer the hairy boys and impulsive girls back then. Maybel really took over the burden of the mayor, observing the society as a high-ranking person, experiencing human suffering. She gradually understood how desperate and unwilling Agat was at that time; and Agat was also leaving. After walking on the path of the guerrilla fighters, he came into contact with all kinds of people and affairs. After stepping out of Mi Xia's shadow, he finally understood the painstaking efforts of the old mayor. The two original personalities had nothing difficult to get along with, and under the catalyst of the Lila incident, a certain kind of special affection arose between them.
Of course, a fool like Agat, who has muscles in his head, naturally knows nothing about these things. Therefore, Heilijia usually teased Maybel and asked her to initiate an offensive, which made the latter embarrassed.
"...Mr. Heliga?" Maybel's voice brought the boy out of the memory. "Did you hear me just now?"
"Ah... I'm sorry, I remembered something." Heliga made a prevarication casually, "Well, can you repeat it, please?"
"Um. Of course it can. It's just that there is no surprise..." Maybel was a little helpless, but still took out a few beautifully crafted cards in his hand, and the patterns on them looked more like some kind of ticket.
"this is?"
"This is a famous tourist attraction in the kingdom... a three-day hospitality voucher for the lakeside hotel "Chuan Chan Pavilion". Falling behind after a busy job...I hope you can rest there and recharge your energy...Of course, all the expenses will be paid by me. "Maybel said with a smile.
