The animal brought back by 098 is a honey badger that has just reached adulthood. It is not very big, maybe only a circle larger than a rice cake. It has white hair on the top and back of the head, and small round black eyes.
Because the top of the head is flat and the hair is white, it looks like the big brother who deliberately kept his head and dyed it white. Therefore, the honey badger has a very well-known nickname - "Brother Flat Head".
But the honey badger not only looks like a big brother in Jianghu, but also has a similar personality.
Honey badger is known as "the most fearless animal in the world". It is either in a fight or on the way to fight. The psychological activity can be summarized as - don't tell me how many opponents there are, and don't tell me who the other party is Who, just tell me the time and place.
Honey Badgers never hold grudges, because they retaliate on the spot.
"Cough..."
Xia Zuoyi looked away from time to time, not daring to look at this honey badger again, and asked 098 about the origin of this honey badger in his heart.
Is it also an unusual animal, like briquettes and egg yolks.
098 gave a positive answer, not ordinary.
This honey badger is very smart, because he lived as a badger since he was a child, and his personality is not only like fighting and holding revenge, but also a little cold and withdrawn.
098 brought it after consulting with the honey badger.
Xia Zuoyi knew that even an ordinary honey badger was extremely smart.
He had seen a documentary about honey badgers.
- People want to keep honey badgers, but even with iron gates installed and locked with iron wires, honey badgers can still try their best to break the iron wires and open the door to escape.
Afterwards, the honey badger staff fortified the door, but the honey badger burrowed out of the ground.
Breeders have done several studies specifically for this.
They first removed the iron gate, and then poured it into a concrete wall around it, and reinforced the four walls without leaving any gaps at all.
But even so, the honey badger still figured out a way to climb the tree inside the wall, using its body weight to press the branch against the wall, and then escape smoothly.
As a result, the breeders cut down all the trees in the wall.
When there were no trees, the honey badger began to pick up stones, piled them in the corner of the wall, and then escaped after accumulating to a certain height.
Breeders dug up all the stones in the wall.
However, without the stones, the honey badger began to build mud balls in the corners to escape.
Any honey badger inside the wall can be used.
For example, brooms that have been forgotten by breeders, honey badgers will also use them as ladders to escape.
Very smart and persistent.
Never give up until the goal is achieved.
Xia Zuoyi felt that the Xiaomi badger brought back by 098 was quite quiet. Since it was released, it has been standing beside him "quietly" without moving.
He asked 098 curiously, and 098 replied that this was the honey badger being vigilant and adapting to an unfamiliar environment.
It will ease up after a while.
After a while, it did recover, but after the honey badger and Xia Zoe looked at each other, they started chasing after him, hugging their ankles.
"… "
Xia Zuoyi squatted down to discuss with it: "I'll take care of you in the future, let's call you Xiaopingtou, okay?"
After speaking, he tentatively touched the white-haired head of this Xiaomi Badger.
Honey Badger's dark eyes stared at Xia Zuoyi seriously, and finally pushed his head against his hand, expressing agreement.
Xia Zuoyi was relieved when he saw this. Instead of fighting the king blindly, he could still communicate.
However, he was relieved too quickly, and after returning to his residence with Xiaopingtou... That scene was jumpy, thrilling, too beautiful, and he dared not watch it...
On that day, even Valk and Fernandi, who were on duty outside the palace, heard that the Lord had picked up a smaller animal.
But this animal provoked the beasts one after another, chasing after him and fighting...
In the first round, because of the curiosity of the briquettes, after Xia Zuoyi brought back Xiaopingtou, it walked over and slapped others, but it ended up fighting.
In the end, the briquettes had the advantage in size. After winning, the back neck skin with the small flat head was returned to Xia Zoey.
Xia Zuoyi looked at the briquettes with a complicated expression on his face, miserable, briquettes, you are miserable.
The big tiger with white stripes on a black background is unclear.
But then the briquettes understood.
This little animal is so persistent! ! !
Honey Badger: It's not enough to tug at me, but also to me, you wait.
briquettes: you can beat it, you can't mess with it, you can hide it.
slip away.
The big tiger with white stripes on a black background is probably just the beginning, and then it caused a chain reaction, and almost all the plush was chased by Xiaopingtou.
But fortunately, what reassured Xia Zuoyi is to fight back, not to be real, just not to be injured.
After watching Xiaopingtou for a while, he started chasing the ice cream and left. Xia Zuoyi asked 098 in his heart about the deviation between the hero and the plot in the original book.
How do you get there with only one percent of that
098 Answer: [The death of the male protagonist in the original book will not involve the collapse of the world line, because this is a novel created from the perspective of the female protagonist.]
[Before the plot deviation value is not 100%, as long as the heroine is not in any danger to her life, there will be no problem with the world line.]
[If the host wants to make the plot deviate from the full value, he can indeed execute the male protagonist in the original book.]
Xia Zuoyi: "Apart from that? Is there any other way?"
098: [Yes, let the male protagonist in the original book be willing to give up the imperial throne]
[Although the host has occupied the Saint Airo Empire and has become a veritable master of this territory, as long as Warner Gales, the male protagonist in the original book, does not really give up the throne in his heart, the plot deviation value will not advance.]
[Of course, the host can also choose to continue the infrastructure construction, anyway, only one percent is left, and the host will be full after waiting.]
After all, the choice is diverse.
"How long will it take if we use infrastructure to fill the plot deviation value?"
098 thought for a while: [Unless there is any major change, the later stage, the more difficult it will be to advance the plot deviation value. After all, infrastructure is phased.]
[Come on, host, 098 will cheer you up!]
098 said, he raised the little flower stick that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and jumped.
Xia Zuoyi thanked all the lovely ones with tears and laughter.
He pondered for a while, and then took Judit to the place where the three Warners were imprisoned - the Tower of Tum.
That's right, this is the place where the third prince, Kaxiu, was once imprisoned.
A special "prison" for the royal family and nobles, with soft beds, enough meals, and even books to pass the boring time.
But there is no freedom.
Everyone imprisoned in Tum's Tower was confined to a small room with no access, with iron gates locked and knights guarding the gates day and night.
The room has only a small window, not much bigger than the head, for ventilation and sunlight.
There is a square-sized gap at the bottom of the iron gate, which can be pushed up and down, so that meals and items can be inserted.
When Xia Zoe brought Judit to the Tum Tower, just after the meal time, the knight guarding Warner was taking out a plate of food placed on a tray from the gap under the iron gate.
Xia Zoe glanced, there was a lot of food left on the tray, and it could be seen that Warner didn't eat much.
"Open the door and I'll go in," he said.
Judit and the knights guarding outside were a little worried.
"Lord, I will accompany you in."
Xia Zuoyi shook his head: "No need, I'll talk to him alone."
There were no sharp weapons left in each prisoner's room, and even the tableware used for eating were heavy wooden spoons and wooden bowls.
Judit: "Then I'll wait for you outside the door."
He asked the knight to open the door, don't lock it after Xia Zoe entered, and keep an eye on the movement inside.
Xia Zoe walked in.
Although it was daytime, the light in the room was still a little dim, after all, there was only a small window on one wall in the entire room.
This is the top floor of Tum Tower, and a beam of sunlight shines through the small window alone, as if dividing the house into two parts.
Warner was standing behind this beam of sunlight, and his whole body was shrouded in darkness, like a silhouette under the sunlight.
When Xia Zoe approached slowly, Warner gradually moved his steps and was bathed in light.
In just a few days, he had already lost a lot of weight, with messy beards on his face, and his golden hair was not taken care of.
"What are you doing?" Warner said lightly.
Xia Zuoyi said: "I came to ask you, what do you want me to do with you?"
Warner seemed to find this ridiculous, and he laughed too.
"Isn't it at your disposal?"
"Does Lord Desinia want to kill me, or will I be imprisoned in the Tower of Tum for the rest of my life?"
Xia Zuoyi pondered: "I have thought about both options."
"If I want to kill you, in order to avoid future troubles, I will naturally kill all the people related to you..."
For example, Ken, Renner, and the royal nobles of the Empire.
When Warner heard the words, his eyes flashed inadvertently.
Xia Zuoyi continued: "But I'm not a murderer."
What's more, Warner and others are not guilty.
He is also not afraid that he will get a counterattack for sparing the lives of Warner and others, because he is confident that he will not give them this opportunity.
"Some of your policies benefit a lot of civilians and slaves who want you to survive."
Warner is really doing something to make the Empire of St. Airo better.
But it was still too late.
Warner heard what Xia Zoey meant: "So, you don't kill me, but if you want to be imprisoned in this tower for a lifetime, it's better to die."
He is not reconciled to this failure, and he is not reconciled to have no freedom.
Xia Zuoyi: "Warner, you should understand that you can't be soft-hearted when dealing with the enemy. If the final result in this war is that I lose, what will you do with me?"
"You and I are very clear in my heart."
Warner was silent.
Xia Zuoyi: "Your sister Lennard has not found someone who loves her, and has not experienced the happiness of being a wife and mother."
"She is still young, but now she will be imprisoned in the Tower of Tum for life..."
"Stop talking, what do you want?!" Warner interrupted him suddenly.
Xia Zoe: "I want you to be willing to give up the throne, acknowledge to everyone the rationality of Desinia owning this territory, and promise that you will live as a commoner for the next hundred years."
"An oath to openly face the entire Western Continent..."
"impossible."
Warner said: "You are depriving me of my dignity!"
Born noble, born noble.
Making him a civilian is no different than being imprisoned in the Tower of Tum.
What's more, once the oath is established, he and his descendants will no longer be able to become nobles, or even restore the glory of the Saint Air Empire again...
Because they have automatically relinquished ownership and identity, they are no longer eligible.
Xia Zuoyi's eyebrows and eyes were deep, as if they were stained with ink because of the darkness in the room. He said, "Freedom and identity are not equivalent things."
"It's all up to you how you choose."
"No matter how long, I will wait for your reply."
After Xia Zuoyi finished speaking, he turned and left the room. Then, the door was locked, covering up Warner's standing still.
This wait is ten days.
The post-war turbulence in this territory is gradually subsiding, crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes are being planted, and cotton gins, looms, etc. are also rapidly gaining popularity.
Xia Zoe had just dealt with the fight between Xiaopingtou and Danzi, and the knight guarding the Tower of Tum brought Warner's words to ask for a meeting.
He agreed to sign the oath.
At the end of October, an oath endorsed by Warner was written to the entire Western Continent.
The Gales family has since become commoners.
They left the Tum Tower, the former imperial city, and no one knows where they went.
Because it was Xia Zoey who secretly sent people away.
He needed them to live back in a remote but graceful valley field, away from the hustle and bustle, until the mention of the Gales stopped thinking of the Empire.
From the moment the oath was established, the plot deviation value was finally full, 100%.
After Xia Zoe sent Gales away, he took Segalot's hand, leaned intimately on the Pope's chest, raised his head and smiled, "Let's talk about a sweet love."
The author has something to say: There is only one watch today, so you need to keep your body healthy _(:з"∠)_
Xia Xia: Surprise
Pope: Surprise! My heart was beating so fast I couldn't take it anymore.
Xia Xia: What~
Pope: It's lovely, think...
