The three giants of Tongshan City reached a consensus at the City Lord's Mansion. Hal, the president of the Adventurer's Guild, cooperated with City Lord Arthur to handle the matter, while Jia Zhengjin left the City Lord's Mansion.
After coming out, he was about to return directly to the station, but he didn't expect Julianne to appear in front of him, and quickly ran to him: "Cohen!"
"You?" Jia Zhengjin was a little surprised, "Why are you still in the city at this time?"
It's actually a little late now. Usually Julianne will rush home before dinner and will never stay until this time.
Seeing him ask, Julian raised his head and replied: "I heard that you are returning to the city today. I just went to the Adventurer's Guild to inquire and learned that you had something to do at the City Lord's Mansion, so I specially waited here. Didn't I tell you last time? It's been a long time since you arrived.
I haven’t gone home yet. Let’s go back today!”
Jia Zhengjin wanted to say that it doesn't matter whether he goes back to Cohen's home or not. The place where he is now is his home.
However, it seems inappropriate to say this and does not conform to Cohen's ideas.
"You can't let me go back alone, can you?" Julianne said to him, "There are wars everywhere now, and it's so late..."
Helpless, Jia Zhengjin had no choice but to nod: "Okay, then I'll take you home."
"Well!" Julianne seemed to relax a little and secretly glanced at the earth dragon, "Shall we ride it home? I'm a little scared..."
"Earth dragons are very docile." Jia Zhengjin sat upright, lowered his head and said to her, "Come up!"
"Give me a hand!" Julianne stretched out her right hand.
"This height can't help you." Jia Zhengjin made no move.
It didn't go as she thought. Julianne was a little disappointed, but she still took the initiative to get on the ground and sit behind Jia Zhengjin.
So he turned around and moved towards another city gate.
After leaving the city, it was very quiet along the way.
Jia Zhengjin had nothing to say. Julianne looked at his back from behind and felt that the change was really great. It was completely different from the Cohen in her memory who was always chasing behind him like a tail.
"Cohen!" During the journey, she finally couldn't help but say.
"Huh?" Jia Zhengjin looked at the road ahead without looking back.
"Shall we have dinner at my house later? My father specially cooked a sumptuous meal. He said that you haven't been back for a long time and miss you a little!" Julian said in a low voice, "Also, I want to thank you for saving me."
"Okay!" Jia Zhengjin did not refuse.
There was another moment of silence.
Julian thought about it carefully and found that she was not used to this atmosphere, so she began to tell what happened along the way after leaving Frost Dragon City with the teachers and students of the Magic Academy. What happened after she arrived at Copper Mountain City and reported the news of the murder of her teacher and classmates.
Then he said worriedly: "Now the rebels are so powerful that no one can stop them. The dean said that they will soon reach Tongshan City, so he is preparing to mobilize everyone to fight against the rebels. If you don't want to fight, prepare in advance and leave Tongshan City.
Head to the Imperial Capital."
"Really?" Jia Zhengjin responded calmly.
"Cohen, when the rebels come, will your Holy Spirit Adventure Group join the battle?" Julianne asked in a low voice.
"Not participating in the war!" It's not just the Holy Ghost Adventure Group that will not participate in the war. Arthur will soon declare that Copper Mountain City has entered a neutral state with the cooperation of Hal. However, in this way, it is actually a good thing for the Magic Academy. At least there is no need to leave early and no need to participate.
fighting.
Once neutral, neither the Dawn Front nor the Resel Empire will enter a state of war with Copper Mountain City. Instead, they will try their best to win over them. Even if they cannot successfully win over their own camp, they will at least become a neutral force that can communicate with them.
Nothing wrong with that.
In any case, no matter which side regains the cities across the country, it is impossible for Tongshan City to remain neutral forever or be able to return to the territory.
Julian was a little surprised to hear that the Holy Spirit Adventure Group would not participate in the battle: "You have gathered all the powerful adventurers from the surrounding cities. With such a huge force, even the rebels would not dare to take action easily, right? If you help defend the city, you will definitely be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive.
..."
Jia Zhengjin ignored Julianne behind him and looked ahead quietly.
Seeing that he had no reaction, Julianne thought of Cohen in the past and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey~ now that you have status, you are a little bit indifferent to me. Is it because I treated you in the same way before? Is that intentional?
?”
When Jia Zhengjin heard this, he looked back at her and shook his head: "No."
"What's not true? The attitude is obviously completely different." Julian said, "You used to follow me, and no matter what I said, it was always right!"
That's Cohen, not me. Jia Zhengjin thought to himself.
"But think about it, you are not wrong!" Julianne sighed softly, "We have grown up and have our own lives, and you won't always be around me. You should... also have a girl you like.
Have a child? Also, with your current status, all outstanding female adventurers are willing to approach you. You should choose the best one? Is it Meili who was with you that day, or Tatanir? Or both
All of them?"
"No." Jia Zhengjin shook his head.
"So there's someone else?" Julianne asked again.
If it was just Cohen's identity, there would definitely not be. But that would be quite troublesome. Jia Zhengjin could see Julian's thoughts clearly, so he nodded.
Sure enough, seeing him nod, Julianne felt a little depressed: "Who is the girl you like? Do I know her?"
"Know!" Jia Zhengjin responded calmly.
"Who is it? After all, we are childhood sweethearts. You should tell me such good things, right?"
"You will know when the time comes." Jia Zhengjin said perfunctorily.
"What? She's still mysterious." Julian didn't feel very comfortable. If he valued Cohen before, he wouldn't have fallen in love with other girls, right? In the past, he never looked at other girls and just followed him.
But who would have thought that Cohen would be where he is today. After thinking about it, he asked softly, "Is the girl you like a member of the adventure group?"
"no!"
"No? That's right. It seems that your adventure group doesn't have anyone I know..." Julian thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Could it be Nana? If it's not someone from your adventure group, besides
Nana, I really can't think of anyone else! But... I haven't heard Nana talk about you..."
"No!" Jia Zhengjin shook his head in denial.
"It's not Nana? Who is that? I know...could it be a girl from our school? Who is it?"
"You'll know when the time comes!" Anyway, when the Imperial Army comes, the wives will come too.
"Cohen~" Julianne wanted to know who the other party was, so she poked his shoulder lightly, "Tell me! We have been playing together since childhood, so we have such a good relationship, right? Just tell me, okay?
