Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"Please show your identification and reason for your visit!"

There was no polite expression at all. After all, from the other party's reaction, San San had already judged that although the man in the lead did not seem to have any hostility, the people behind him were all full of hostility towards them or the camp.

When facing the enemy, there is naturally no need to be polite. Even when just talking, the silver-white belt around San San's waist was still flashing slowly with a burst of data. With some ripples emerging in the air, it was obvious that as long as the opponent made the slightest reaction, she would immediately transform.

"Oh?"

Such a humane and hostile reaction, such an obviously impolite attitude, and even immediately changing the judgment of himself as "extremely dangerous", all these reactions actually caught Luo Xinming's attention. He immediately raised his eyebrows, and the interest in his narrowed eyes became more intense. He immediately stretched out his hand to stop the person behind him who wanted to move forward, and then said with a gentle smile:

"This... beautiful Miss Xiumagia, we have no ill intentions. We simply wish to visit the rulers of Tianyu City... and to resolve some misunderstandings that occurred earlier!"

Having said that, he immediately introduced himself politely:

"I am Zishu, the master of the Sky Tower in Tianta City. I hope you can help pass on the message!"

These words were almost the utmost in humility. After hearing this, San San obviously couldn't make the decision on his own. After thinking for a moment, he nodded slightly and said in a slightly more moderate tone:

"The information has been transmitted, please wait!"

Having said this, I calmly walked aside without paying any attention to Luo Xinming's expression as if he wanted to say more. Then I began to stand guard like a guard, but from the belt around my waist that did not disappear, it could be seen that the other party had not let down his guard.

"This is truly...incredible technology!"

With just one glance, he saw the value of the anthropomorphic machine called Shumagia that Luo Luo mentioned. With his eyes narrowed, Luo Xinming immediately muttered to himself, and then, without even turning his head, he spoke to the person behind him:

"So you think... this is really something that was 'unearthed'?"

Tianta City has always believed that the reason why Tianyu City was able to rise so fast was because the abandoned city given as a reward contained ancient scientific and technological power that they had not discovered. It was precisely because of that power that Tianyu City has achieved what it has today... However, now, looking at Xumagia in front of him, although it was only the first contact, Luo Xinming expressed doubts for the first time.

"Whether it is or not...it doesn't matter now!"

However, the person behind him did not seem to have any intention of giving a direct answer. Instead, he said in a solemn tone:

"The key point now is: because of Narissa's arbitrary behavior, a rift has arisen between us and Tianyu City. And judging by the accounts of those psychics, Tianyu City's power has reached a level sufficient to threaten Tianta City... How do you plan to deal with this?"

The burly man had been following Luo Xinming like a shadow, his whole body wrapped in heavy metal armor. Even in the desert under the scorching sun, he still did not expose a single piece of skin. He looked extremely weird and even his voice was full of dullness.

"cooperate!"

Luo Xinming said these words to the burly man without thinking:

"We're not enemies at this stage, and we've only provoked that idiot Narissa, the intellectual of Tianyu City. Luo Luo, on the other hand, has a pretty good relationship with Tianyu City. It's said they've already reached some kind of cooperation. Judging from this situation... there's a possibility of reconciliation!"

He didn't mind calling Narissa, who was also the tower master, a fool, and at the same time expressed his appreciation for Luo Luo's behavior. However, these words were obviously filled with emotions as if he was just "judging", and there was no other thoughts at all. It sounded inexplicably... cold-hearted!

“…reasonable judgment!”

To this, a dull voice gave affirmation.

"So, what kind of people could they be? What about the...controllers of Tianyu City?"

He raised his head with a smiling look and looked at the camp in the distance, which seemed to be completely enveloped by light and could not see anything. A dim light flashed in his squinting eyes, and an amused smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Behind him, six figures including the burly man followed silently. Although it was a team of seven people, except for the leader Luo Xinming, everyone was covered with thick armor and stood there silently... like puppets obeying orders!

In this atmosphere, not long after, accompanied by a slight flicker of light, Yu Yuan had already walked out of the protective shield with Xiaoyi and Erer. Seeing this situation, before Luo Xinming could react, Sansan took the initiative to step forward and report:

"Report, the target has no abnormal reaction!"

Having said this, Yu Yuan also smiled at the other party:

"Well, you've worked hard. Go in and take a rest first. I'll let Xiao Si take over later!"

"learn!"

After this brief conversation, San San immediately turned his head to look at Luo Xinming and others, then turned around and walked towards the light shield without any hesitation.

At this time, Luo Xinming watched San San leave, and then turned his gaze to Yu Yuan, who was obviously the person in charge and had just spoken.

"Oh? Little girl?"

He muttered to himself in a low voice with great interest, but he did not expect that such a low voice would be clearly caught by Yu Yuan. At the same time, two hostile gazes burst out from Xiaoyi and Erer's mouths at the same time, and Yu Yuan's light words were heard in the next second:

"If you're talking to me with this in mind, then I can tell you right now... we have nothing to discuss, Tianta City's... Rat Tower Master!"

After hearing these words, Luo Xinming was stunned for a moment, then he quickly straightened his appearance and gave an apologetic smile:

"I'm really sorry, I just didn't expect that the 'City Lord' who rules over the entire Tianyu City is so young. I'm just a little surprised!"

He spoke in a slightly respectful manner, but Yu Yuan had no intention of giving him any face at all. Without even thinking, he directly retorted:

"You've misunderstood me on this point. I'm only the 'acting city lord'. I'm not the one who can rule Tianyu City. Looking at the entire world, there's only one person who can rule it!"

That is his master and also his sister: Yu Huan!

189. Test

"Oh, oh, oh, that's really... I wonder if I'd have the honor to meet him? Your... Lord City Lord?"

As soon as the polite words fell, the impatient words interrupted them directly:

"Don't be so sarcastic here. If you have something to say, just say it. If you're unhappy, just start fighting. I don't have time to waste here with you!"

It seems that after coming here, the connection with her sister has become closer, but at the same time, she can also feel that something extraordinary seems to have happened on her sister's side. In this case, Yu Yuan naturally hopes to break through the barrier of the strange beasts here as soon as possible to find her sister. This is the top priority at the moment. Compared with this, other things obviously can no longer attract her attention.

Especially when facing Luo Xinming, this is not only because he is from Tianta City, but also because...

"As San San said, he's a smiling tiger. I hate people with such hypocritical and disgusting smiles the most!"

Well, by the way, Yu Yuan's words did not mean to conceal anything, but were spoken very clearly in a "low voice". Therefore, it was clear that the moment the voice fell, Luo Xinming's elegant smile seemed to freeze for a moment, and behind him, a small "puff" sound seemed to be heard at some point... Of course, Luo Xinming naturally chose to ignore it.

"Well, it looks like our Tianta City has earned the dislike of this Acting City Lord!"

He had no intention of introducing himself from the beginning to the end. Although he knew the other party's name from Luo Luo, Luo Xinming still used honorifics to address him. He immediately spread his hands and did not beat around the bush, but went straight to the point:

"Then let me be frank. The purpose of my visit this time is just as I just asked Miss Sansan to convey. I hope to reconcile with Tianyu City regarding the matter of the Ugly Ox Tower Master, and by the way... discuss matters of cooperation!"

What kind of cooperation? Naturally, it was about breaking through the alien beasts' barrier and reaching the ruins of the castle. This was clearly Luo Xinming's original goal. After all, for him, having already entered the "ruins" once, the value of the things inside... obviously far exceeded the cost of opposing Tianyu City!

"Cooperation? How do you want to cooperate?"

When talking about this kind of thing, Yu Yuan obviously would not act on impulse. He looked at Luo Xinming with a slightly serious tone and asked.

"It's very simple. The Alliance has already discussed a feint to the east and attack in the west offensive plan. This time, it's not so much that Tianta City wants to cooperate with you, but rather that they hope Tianyu City will rejoin the Alliance and contribute to this plan!"

Having said this, Luo Xinming changed the subject and said:

"Of course, since you've contributed, a share of the benefits is absolutely essential, so you can rest assured about this, Miss Acting City Lord!"

Such sincere words were exchanged for Yu Yuan's deep contemplation. After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Luo Xinming and said:

"Is that so... Can you tell me more specifically?"

"I can't ask for it!"

This represented the possibility of a cooperative intention. Luo Xinming's smile immediately seemed more sincere. Then, under the guidance of Yu Yuan, he walked into the light shield alone.

Well, he was alone, and the few people behind him had been left outside the light shield, guarded by Xiaoyi, Erer and Xiaosi who came out to stand guard.

And it was precisely because of these three Xumagia girls, who were exactly the same in appearance and body shape, and could be called triplets, that they gave people three different styles of performance. They obviously quickly attracted the attention of the figures who served as Luo Xinming's guards. Just after the two of them went in, among the six figures who were silent for a while, a slender figure strode directly towards Xiao Yi and others.

"I just heard your city lord call you Xiaoyi. Is that a code name? Or a name?"

The first words were used to get close to her. Perhaps because the voice coming from the armor was a passionate female voice, Xiao Yi and the others did not reject her this time. Of course, they did not get too close either. They nodded gently.

"name!"

Short answer.

"Oh, that's a coincidence. My name is Number Six. Well, it's not a code name, it's my name!"

With a smile on her face, she reached out her hand as if she had met a close friend and seemed to want to pat Xiaoyi on the shoulder, but he dodged without hesitation. The woman didn't seem to care at the moment, and just tried to get closer to him in a familiar way. Well... although that's true, but...

"How many 'sisters' do you have in total? Since you call me Xiaoyi, it probably means their eldest sister or boss, right?"

"Insufficient authority, no comment!"

"Don't be like that~~ I can see that you seem to be very intelligent, and your anthropomorphism is almost to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing. For such a small problem... it's no big deal to just tell me~~"

The woman seemed to be very experienced in this area. However, Xiao Yi and the others continued to respond calmly.

"Insufficient authority, no comment!"

Their reaction was exactly like those of stupid robots that only knew how to follow orders. They seemed to turn a blind eye to the woman's various attempts. The stalemate lasted for more than ten minutes, until the woman drooped her hands, gave up weakly and returned to her own camp.

"No, it's totally useless. I can't do it!"

He said these words with a wry smile to the burly figure, and spread his hands to indicate that he had gained nothing.

"No, I've gained something!"

However, the burly man shook his head slightly to deny the other party's statement, and turned to press the switch of the microcomputer in his arm guard. Almost at the moment when the woman started to act recklessly, a short conversation from the direction of Xiao Yi and others suddenly reached her ears:

"That woman is trying to extract information!"

"affim!"

"Do you need to deal with it?"

"…Judgment: The danger level is medium. It poses no threat to the master. Conclusion: Simply ignore it!"

"learn!"

Incidentally, this brief conversation was not conducted through telepathy or anything like that, but was entirely verbal. It also happened just before the woman went to Xiaoyi and the others, seemingly a conversation between Xiaoyi, Erer, and Xiaosi. Based on this, the burly man came to his own conclusion:

"If their conversation isn't a deliberate attempt to paralyze my judgment, then two things can be inferred from this: First, their strength is superior to ours, at least on the surface. Second, in their eyes... you pose no threat at all, so there's no need to even try to be perfunctory. This suggests they possess highly intelligent reactions and self-judgment... Why are you looking at me like that?"

"...It's nothing. Although I'm used to your analysis and what you said is true, but listening to you insult me ​​like that still makes me want to tear you apart!"

"Ok?"

190. Cooperation

Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west... To put it bluntly, it is a very simple plan, which is to integrate the "teams" sent by various forces, and without hesitation, launch a full-scale attack on the tide of alien beasts, while quickly killing a large number of alien beasts with lightning speed, and at the same time attracting the attention of the alien beasts.

While they were building defenses on the spot and engaging in battle with the strange beasts, at the same time, representatives sent by each force were randomly looking for weak points from other angles to sneak into the ruins of the castle.

This is the plan formulated by the alliance. Although it sounds full of loopholes and very simple, it is obviously the most useful method for the strange beasts that do not have much intelligence.

“…That’s basically the situation!”

After briefly explaining the alliance's plans, Luo Xinming then stated the purpose of his collaboration:

"As for defense, relying on the mechanics brought by Tianta City, we will undoubtedly be able to construct temporary defensive measures in the first place. We don't need to worry about weapons for the time being. The various forces have enough manpower, but we are still lacking in high-end combat capabilities!"

Having said that, the purpose is obvious:

"Although I wasn't present at the previous battle, through on-site observation and investigation, I've determined that the Xiu Magia of your Tianyu City possesses strong individual combat capabilities, which can just make up for the Alliance's shortcomings in this area. Therefore, as the focus of this battle, I am here on behalf of the Alliance to extend an invitation to Tianyu City!"

Speaking sincerely, of course, now that the request has been made, as a reward for the sincerity of cooperation, I have to say:

"As a reward, 20% of the exotic beasts harvested in this city defense battle will belong to Tianyu City. Incidentally, the gains from the exotic beasts killed by Tianyu City itself during the battle will also belong to the individuals and will not be counted in the final spoils."

This is undoubtedly a very generous condition. After all, there are at least dozens of forces participating in the alliance, and 20% of the reports are equivalent to the sum of many forces. Of course, some people have expressed dissatisfaction with this, but in the face of the strength demonstrated by Tianyu City, these voices eventually disappeared.

Yu Yuan couldn't help but ponder Luo Xinming's words. After a long while, he asked another question:

"You just said we're going to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. We're going to use our large forces to contain the monsters and open a gap, while the elites from all sides are going to sneak into the ruins from the other side. So... what happens next?"

He only mentioned that they should each take action to find a weak point and penetrate the ancient castle, but he didn't mention the subsequent actions. Obviously, this wasn't Luo Xinming's negligence or forgetfulness, but because...

"Is the subsequent plan... still necessary?"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in his smiling eyes, and Luo Xinming smiled and said:

"Once we enter the ruins, our relationship will naturally change from cooperation to competition. After all, there is only one ruins, only one core, and naturally only one force that can control the entire ruins!"

This was a matter of course, so Luo Xinming did not hide it and directly said it out loud:

"After entering the ruins, mutual suspicion, hostility, even betrayal and sneak attacks are not impossible. Therefore, in order to prevent such things from happening and causing disputes, we have already agreed that once we enter the ruins, we will act on our own. At that time, all methods will be justified, and there will be no such thing as alliances... Of course, if it is a temporary alliance that we voluntarily accept inside, then it is still feasible!"

The tone allowed the conspiracy to grow secretly. It would be better to put it out in the open. Once entering the ruins, they would be able to move freely without having to worry about the alliance or anything. Such naked words immediately made Yu Yuan raise her eyebrows but she did not say anything, because she heard the hidden meaning in Luo Xinming's words.

Sure enough, after finishing his words, Luo Xinming remained silent for a while before speaking again:

"So...how? Need further cooperation?"

Previously, the so-called cooperation was nothing more than joining the alliance, which was a kind of cooperation that already had the meaning of a covenant. However, the cooperation proposed by Luo Xinming this time clearly referred to cooperation after entering the ruins castle, and his purpose of cooperation was very simple and direct without any concealment:

"As a gesture of cooperation, we, Tianta City, can guarantee to help Tianyu City gain control of the ancient castle ruins during this visit. Tianyu City can even propose all other conditions afterwards. This is... our sincerity!"

He spoke such a generous word without any care, and even made Yu Yuan's face show a moving expression. Just when she showed a look of "what good will this do you?", Luo Xinming had already spoken first:

"Of course, since this is cooperation, there is a price to pay, and the price you, Tianyu City, need to pay is very simple: there are only two!"
