No matter how appropriate or not, Su Li did not want to dress up as a money tree.
However, when Euphia placed a mirror in front of him, Su Li found that it might not be as bad as he thought.
Regarding this, Euphia naturally crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows, saying, “Of course it won’t be bad, when it comes to aesthetics, you may not believe these stinky men, but you have to believe me.”
Su Li’s overall style, although magnificent and sumptuous, did not suppress his features and stature.
On the contrary, everything complemented each other perfectly.
The reason he felt awkward was that he had never been exposed to such a coordinated outfit with so many accessories. Moreover, his past attire had always been focused on comfort.
However, even if an adult can play dumb and pretend to be blind when necessary, they cannot truly deny that this outfit is not only not ugly, but also resembles the attire in some art films.
It’s a style that is unusual but has no flaws.
It just doesn’t match this snowy day at all…
When Su Li used this excuse to respond, Euphia decisively explained, “Do you see the red ring? Although it’s very thin, it’s still made of the flame stone I condensed. Combined with the alchemy technique that allows the elemental stone to output elements constantly, it can guarantee that your body temperature will remain stable. Therefore, not only when you are wearing this outfit, even if you are not wearing it, you will not feel cold.”
“But these…” Su Li said, at a loss, as he raised his hand.
He always had the feeling that with this outfit, he would jingle all over if he took just a few steps. As long as he were to appear in the world before his transmigration, he could play the role of a welcoming pine tree wherever he climbed a mountain.
Cyril stood by Su Li’s side and patted his shoulder, saying, “Doesn’t it look good?”
Lan Zhe even said directly, “Don’t struggle anymore, and don’t even think about removing a few of them. These alchemy tools are complementary, combined with the runes on your body, and your natural resistance to elements, as long as the elementalists don’t attack you physically, even if they are the strongest in this world, I can guarantee that you will at least last three minutes under their hands.”
“But what if they really attack?” Su Li suddenly understood why Egbert felt that even in a real crisis, one should struggle with all one’s might when there was a chance.
Su Li really wanted to struggle now.
Until he saw Lan Zhe freeze up… Mechanical and stiff.
“No, this outfit is good, I know. And I’ll just stay in the small building, how can I be beaten so easily? Moreover, isn’t the raven going to follow me too?”
Su Li had never felt that his ability to read facial expressions could be so strong.
“The key is that while everyone is defending in the city, the enemy won’t easily reach me, and with so many of you here, how could they possibly easily attack me? If you don’t believe in my strength, don’t you still believe in your own strength? Tell me loudly, will you allow the enemy to rush up to my face and hit me?”
Lan Zhe: “That will certainly not happen.”
Su Li sighed: “Yes, so let it be.”
No more struggling, farewell.
However, Su Li, who did not realize how clever the possessor of the dark element was, still failed to discover that Lan Zhe’s move was simply to avoid opening the sky window, and instead just demolish the roof.
The full elemental defense has already been arranged, how could they easily forget about physical defense?
It’s just that in Su Li’s eyes, these alchemyl tools have always had the concept of magical equipment, so for a moment he also produced the “darkness under the light” effect due to his lack of understanding of these things.
There was no reason for the full-body defensive equipment jointly created by the various parties to have such a huge bug that it couldn’t resist physical damage.
But seeing Su Li’s “oh well, let it be” compromising expression, Lan Zhe was delighted.
Teasing the little ones is completely non-existent for the adults in the small building.
One is that Su Li won’t give the corresponding reaction, and the other is that it’s not fun to tease Cyril.
In the current scenario, it could be called a rare sight.
Lan Zhe was still musing when Egbert walked behind Cyril and gently patted his shoulder, saying, “Where are those paintings we agreed on before?” He also wanted to order another one now.
Cyril stiffened, not daring to say that he had long since forgotten about this matter.
However, it was not primarily a subjective forgetfulness, but mainly because Lan Zhe’s pocket money was too much. For Cyril, a painting worth 100 gold coins was no longer worth considering.
But he couldn’t say it directly.
Otherwise, the previous joint training of Lan Zhe and Roy would turn into a three-person training with Egbert…an ultimate version of teacher’s training.
That would be deadly!
So Cyril decisively explained, “An excellent painting requires time and years of accumulation. I’m still young, and rather than pretending with my current skills to deceive you, I’d rather wait until I think my abilities are good enough to vividly paint the Su Li in my memory, and then make this kind of transaction.”
The more he said, the more fluent he became, and Cyril even believed in his own words for a moment, then added, “As for me, the future art master, Brother Eg, why don’t you consider making a pre-order deposit? After all, my paintings in the future will certainly not be as simple as 100 gold coins each.”
Cyril spoke with great confidence.
Egbert sneered and grabbed his face, sternly saying, “Is this the reason you stood me up?”
Cyril: “I didn’t!”
What’s the use of releasing pigeons? It’s better to release ravens!
(TL: 放鸽子: “Releasing pigeons,” often used idiomatically to mean “standing someone up” or “breaking a promise.”
放渡鸦: “Release ravens,” which could be taken literally or metaphorically, depending on the context. Ravens often symbolize mystery, power, or a darker tone compared to pigeons.)
Watching this chaotic scene, Euphia commented, “Tsk, men.”
The Lion’s Club leader looked at this group, who were all younger than him, with a speechless expression.
“You guys should stop, we are about to face war.”
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, one of Euphia’s subordinates came to report, “Large numbers of Church personnel and Amikbi’s small army have appeared outside the city.”
“The number of people from the Church side is not too many, only more than a hundred, but Amikbi’s soldiers are as many as two or three thousand.”
“This number really doesn’t give me a chance to struggle.” Euphia sneered.
Theoretically, for a country to demand that the manager of a city within the country hand over a person, that is, the matter of Euphia, who was accused of colluding with the Dark Holy Son, should at least have some prior preparation.
For example, after confirming that the people of Sadina City were disobedient, they would then dispatch troops.
But the current situation is that, whether disobeying or not, troops have already been dispatched.
“Do you still need to struggle?” Egbert calmly questioned.
Euphia unhappily retorted, “Is it so hard for you to speak in a normal way?”
However, although Egbert’s words were a bit rude, they were indeed reasonable.
Euphia would not do something as stupid as sacrificing herself for a city.
Giving the choice to the enemy is always the most foolish way.
It’s better to bet on one’s own strength rather than the kindness of others.
Moreover, they are not in a situation where they are doomed to lose.
Ignoring these, after her subordinate reported the basic strength of the enemy troops, Euphia quickly made a decision, “Go to the city gate.”
The Western architectural style usually looks more like a gathering of houses, without any obvious defensive circle. But Sadina City is different. As an autonomous region, even if the people within the city are unlikely to have the idea of someone attacking their door, they still need to build some facilities that conform to the inertia of this city.
It’s just that they didn’t expect that the city walls, which were relatively more symbolic than practical, would actually be useful one day.
“I want to go too,” Su Li said when the others were all planning to follow Euphia.
“No…” Egbert’s two words were almost immediately silenced by an irrefutable response.
“Since the war is about to begin, my safety in this city is essentially less than staying by your side. I don’t want to waste too much time arguing whether it’s better to stay at home or follow you, I just want to say one thing…”
Su Li looked up at the people who had already walked to the door and said calmly, “Since I’ve come to this world, I might as well see the things that the people living here have to go through.”
He didn’t intend to participate in the war. If it weren’t for this luxurious-looking alchemy defensive equipment, Su Li would not easily make such a choice.
He wants to understand some information, and the answers on paper are ultimately not as good as witnessing it himself.
Moreover, Su Li feels that he is not really a child, and even if he cannot provide military support in the war, he can at least use his brain, which has not completely stagnated with the age of his soul, to make some helpful contributions within his ability.
Besides, he himself is not a coward, and he won’t do anything suicidal if he doesn’t have the conditions. But when he has the conditions, Su Li’s courage is unbelievable.
For example, the scene where Su Li faced Castor’s group, which still makes Cyril break out in a cold sweat when he recalls it.
Therefore, before Egbert wanted to say something else, the previously red-faced Cyril dared to stare at Egbert and say directly, “If you don’t agree, Su Li will go on his own secretly.”
“If you don’t know his situation and just find out he’s disappeared, it will be you who goes crazy.”
Egbert finally agreed.
He just reminded, “Make sure not to put yourself in danger.”
Afterwards, Egbert put aside all his worries and rushed towards the location of the city wall as well.
Cyril, Su Li, and Qi, who had noticed something was amiss and wanted to ask Su Li about it, the three of them headed towards the city wall at a relatively slower pace.
The adults ran faster, and by the time they arrived, they found that the soldiers in armor outside the city were a vast sea.
Most of them were standing in square formations, scattered in multiple areas. A glance showed that they were clearly not people with communication skills.
These square formations clearly showed that they had already prepared for the battle.
