Chapter 64 I'd rather be wrong than miss it
Last night, in the military sanatorium in the mysterious capital, after little Joey heard that Joestar was killed, she immediately started packing.
At this time, a friend came to look for her.
Her superior in the Restoration Army, she had the best relationship after joining the army, and a comrade-in-arms who almost died in the trenches of the Seventeen Kingdoms, Montgomery Marie.
This is a typical aristocratic beauty. The military's wind, frost, rain, and snow have not changed her morbidly pale complexion. She is slender, and her gestures are always just right.
Unlike little Joey Barton who was born in the Green Vines Kingdom, Montgomery's father was a minor noble from the Seventeen Kingdoms, but he had a great longing for the Green Vines Kingdom.
After the country where she was located was annexed, her father sold the family's castle, took the initiative to move to the mysterious capital, turned to business, and finally succeeded in taking root in the center of the empire.
Montgomery also volunteered to join the Imperial Army when she became an adult.
Her family atmosphere and growth environment are much more complicated than that of little Joey.
The imperial policy is to encourage the seventeen countries integration, but the people's xenophobia will always exist.
The army seems simple, and Montgomery has also been treated unfairly because of her race.
But Montgomery's emotional intelligence is very high, and her ability is also strong, and she has caught up with the action of pretending to be the Restoration Army, and her disadvantage has turned into an advantage, and she has become an important leader of the Restoration Army.
She seized the opportunity this time, and her childhood dream of becoming a marshal is now within reach.
But she felt that the biggest gain of this operation was not the promotion of military rank, but the acquaintance of Joey Patton Jr., a young colonel with infinite potential, simple-mind and a fire always burning in her heart.
In front of outsiders, Montgomery Marie is slick, sleek, and realistic, but she takes great care of little Joey and is the type that talks about everything.
The relationship between the two girls is far more than ordinary comrades-in-arms.
Montgomery felt that if she had a sister, she would be like little Joey.
When little Joey wanted to be discharged from the army to follow Dio Brando, Montgomery tried to dissuade her, but she couldn't.
At this time, after telling the news to her friend, she packed her bags excitedly, and Montgomery was in a complicated mood.
Leaning on the door frame, she said angrily, "I regret that I was coaxing you at the celebration banquet."
Little Joey turned her head and showed a confident smile, "When I get married, I will give you twice as much candies."
Montgomery sighed in an exaggerated dramatic tone, "Wedding? Little Joey, do you want to go to the tiger's mouth! You have only met him once, and his attitude towards you that night was obvious to all. He was totally indifferent. That's why. Why do you want to give up the military merits and rank that you have fought for with your life on the line, and go guard him as a civilian?"
"It was twice!" Little Joey corrected solemnly, "We met again in the nursing home, and we had a good chat."
Her expression as if she was picking up a treasure almost made Montgomery bruised with anger:
"Oh my god, you silly girl, he came to investigate the case and not specifically to see you, can you remember this?"
"He was so busy investigating the case but he took the time to see me, of course, I was moved."
"You... you're helpless!"
Montgomery took a deep breath to avoid her impulse of tying this girl into the basement.
It's better to be cheap yourself than to be spoiled by that stinky man!
She stepped forward and clamped little Joey's hand, preventing her from continuing to pack her luggage, and begged, "Little Joey, even if you like him, you can't be that sloppy. You don't have the backing of your family, you are in the army. A bright future is your biggest bargaining chip. Now you're going to give up all of this to fly into the flames for a man you don't know at all?
I know that a woman who has been in love is scary. You won't listen to whatever I say, but you have to get your hands dirty. First, you need to know who he is and how he treats you. Isn't he the chief of the city defense now? You go to the city defense army to be his adjutant.
After three months of work and dating, when it is confirmed that he loves you, not only getting discharged from the army to be his bodyguard, even if you get married and have children immediately, I will bless you. But not now! You will regret it later! "
Montgomery looked at little Joey with sadness and anger in her eyes.
I also hate myself for not being a leader!
Just a little idiot like this, playing with your wrists, but you should be able to see the full picture by now, right?
Little Joey blinked her hazy eyes, her long eyelashes fluttered, and said with a funny voice, "If outsiders see this, they must think that I was deceived by a scumbag, and you were so angry."
"Still laughing? Are you still laughing? You're a twenty-one-year-old colonel, you just quit your position, how can you still be so calm?" Montgomery was about to cry with anger, and she kept sighing, "The world has changed, people are crazy, I don't know if you're stupid or I'm out of date, this is a colonel of the dignified empire? This is it? This is it?"
She remembered her bitter first love, and she thought she was stupid and didn't want to be able to afford it for the rest of her life.
But compared to little Joey's efforts, she would be desperate if he didn't even hear a word of each other. She felt that she was in a big red robe in tea, and she was among the people.
Little Joey put down her luggage, hugged Montgomery Marie, and pushed her slender body onto the bed. She curled up on her chest like a kitten. Her voice was well-behaved and as soft as a dream:
"You know that I am in command of the heavy cavalry. The heavy cavalry is very fierce, but it is also very stupid. Often, there is only one chance to attack in a battle. If you succeed, you will change your life and lay victory, but if you don't, you will fall into a mud pit. A living target. As for me, I consider myself to be a good heavy cavalry commander, I have been lucky enough to live until now, and my ability to seize opportunities is also good, so I am not a fool.”
"Then you have been caught in Dio's black magic!" Montgomery suddenly realized.
"Listen to me. We have different perspectives and see different things." Little Joey covered her mouth, "I don't expect him to fall in love with me after seeing me only two times, but now I guess he even took a liking to me. Can't I even talk about it? Even if I risked my life to save him once.
Just like every heavy cavalry attack, I am just betting that he will like me in the future. And the fighter plane is fleeting, I cannot stabilize my hand. Every time I attack, I must go all out. "
Montgomery sat up abruptly, pressed her down again, and said fiercely, "You are wrong. You are not short of people to chase, there is no need to stud on the garbage battlefield of Dio, what are you trying to do with him? ?"
Little Joey showed a smile, pure and a little idealistic, so beautiful that Montgomery Marie was thrilled, "He looks like the heroes I longed for when I was a girl... You also experienced despair that night, He is a high-level magician but can go upstream.
I was thinking at that time, such a man, as long as he doesn't die, he will shine brightly. If I don't seize it now, I will not have the slightest chance in the future... I am a colonel with a bright future, but I am only a colonel, even if I become a general, in the end, I'll still be just a crude woman.
"Compared to those real princesses and saints, their looks, temperament, talent, and knowledge, am I even a fine girl? Think about it, he's already a cabinet minister now, how many people will there be around him when he shows his edge and even you can see his goodness? Will I still have a chance?"
Montgomery was dazed, looking at this seemingly silly, yet wise little Joey.
After a long time, she slowly said, "What if you are wrong? If he dies in the middle of the journey, or disappears into the crowd?"
Little Joey also thought about it for a long time and said word by word:
"I'd rather be wrong than miss it."
Montgomery sighed, hugged her best friend, gritted her teeth, and said:
"If he treats you badly, or fails you without knowing your efforts, I will tear him to pieces when I become a marshal!"
This is the conversation between little Joey and her best friend before walking into Yinbingzhuang.
This is a simple, stubborn, incomprehensible, career-staking flash forward.
Some encounters seem like fate.
But how do you know that it wasn't someone's persistent expectation, five hundred years of waiting, one thousand years of planning, and a look back?
…
…
The ice room.
One is lacking in life experience. He has been taught by countless teachers. He thinks he is invincible in the world with all the knowledge he has accumulated but, after subconsciously hugging that soft and warm body, his mind has gone blank.
The other is a natural general, a king without a teacher, and after launching an attack, she goes all out to attack the city and conquer the land.
So in the end, the man kept retreating until he was pushed against the wall by the woman, so he could only respond passively.
After a long time their lips parted.
Little Joey put away the claws that were hurting him and took a step back.
Her eyes were bright and watery, and the corner of her mouth formed a narrow smile.
According to regulations, subordinates are not allowed to smack their boss.
So she launched a raid before she officially entered the job and seized the best opportunity.
Just like the miraculous victories before, this time, it was Joey's on-the-spot performance that seized the fleeting opportunity, rather than deliberate planning.
At that moment, she just felt that she could succeed if she went up to attack, and then she succeeded.
Now that she has confirmed that Roger doesn't like same-sex, and he's not repulsed by her body, she feels that she can work here with confidence.
She stood up and saluted, looking at Roger eagerly, "Joey Patton, Jr., the magic advisor and captain of the bodyguards, reports to Lord Roger Charles."
Roger touched his lips with complicated eyes.
The little Joey just now was a little crazy.
She just seems to be active, but in fact, she is just as jerky and unruly as him.
At first, his lips hit her teeth several times, which caused him to still have some lingering pain.
But this feeling of progressing together, finding a tacit understanding, and gradually getting better, is indeed much more wonderful than he realizing "How are you so skilled?"
That kind of gap is sour when you think about it, no wonder it became a famous line...
"Welcome to the team... You'll perform your duties as a magic advisor first!"
Roger's eyes flickered a little, and he quickly assigned the task.
He was afraid that little Joey would go crazy again.
He was also afraid that he couldn't help but move on to the next chapter of learning anatomy.
Just now, he was too passive. Little Joey controlled the rhythm from beginning to end. He was very motivated to find his way back and prove that he was a true man.
"I'll follow your orders." Little Joey bowed her head obediently and started sorting out the scattered documents and materials in the office according to Roger's instructions.
The corners of her mouth were slightly proud.
Fortunately, the boss is a little embarrassed, but not yet angry.
Even if this kind of thing is a woman's disadvantage according to Montgomery's algorithm, she is still very proud.
Roger's willingness to confess his identity shocked her, but after accepting it, she understood that it was a symbol of his trust and respect for her.
There is no deception in this relationship, and I have full right to choose.
The contrast between Dio and Roger's identities is too great, and little Joey never thought that these two identities are the same person.
If Roger didn't say it, she didn't know how long it would have taken for her to notice.
Knowing the truth now, and thinking about the conversation with Montgomery Marie last night, little Joey suddenly felt that this was God's reward for this wave of life gambling?
The person he chooses to follow is not a commoner who has lost his luck, not a short-lived cabinet minister, but a real top noble in Odu, the Marquis of Stars who was personally rewarded by Her Majesty.
Although there is the name of the trash younger brother, being chosen by Her Majesty as an undercover agent, the word trash must be just a disguise.
Little Joey can't say that she loves the rich more than the poor, but she loves him and can harvest bread at the same time. After all, she is twice as happy, isn't she?
Her only distress is that, because of the non-disclosure agreement, she cannot tell Montgomery about her surprise discovery.
But at least she can tell the friend who cares about her that she didn't lose and she doesn't need to change.
……
……
Elemental plane of fire.
The fire elements of different types and levels in this world are bloody mildew today.
Everyone was happily soaking in lava and singing, but they were robbed by a woman who suddenly appeared.
After thousands of years of hard work, the pure magic power was accumulated, and it was harvested as a tonic!
There are also powerful fire element lords trying to counterattack. They have fighting power equivalent to the legendary level of the Eternal Night World.
There is also a home-field advantage, and with his subordinates, he can fight against any legend!
But... the Queen of Eternal Night is not a legend!
She is a rank above legendary, and she has already set half a foot in the realm of gods, walking through the army formation of the fire element lord.
Looking at the smile on her lips, she seemed to be thanking the lord for gathering monsters for her.
A battle that is too disparate in strength can no longer be called a battle. It's like the eldest lady of some family who comes to experience life and picks strawberries. The ferocious fire elements are the bright red fruits.
In this way, the Queen of Eternal Night fought three thousand battles by herself.
The dozens of blank magic crystals she carried with her were all filled with the purest fire magic.
And there are windfalls.
She hunted down a rare species of fire element lord, a special mutation called Thousand Nights Candle Demon.
Because it is too rare, it is also called the thin wax demon.
Ordinary elemental creatures are like a mass of qi, and after death, it is the energy that is constantly collapsing.
And candle demons are different. They have a unique jelly-like body, which doesn't dissipate directly, but can burn slowly and release energy like a candle.
The Queen of Eternal Night chased and killed them all the way. Although there were some twists and turns, she still managed to hunt them down smoothly.
Back in Wanwei, she created a small magic space with the wreckage of the thin wax demon as the core and injected the fire magic power she collected today, and it became a sustainable space that exceeded the concentration of fire magic power.
This concentration is the holy place that fire-type beasts dream of.
With Roger's high-level fire element affinity, there is no need to cultivate in this environment, and he can quickly accumulate magic power when in deep sleep.
"Let's call it Thin Wax Nest, I'm only good at strengthening, not weakening!"
The Queen of Eternal Night reduced her proud work to a space ring.
After sensing it for a while, she found that Roger was still in the ice room, and she couldn't help feeling a little moved.
Liping the little devil was finally inspired by me, and knows that he has to work hard!
It's already late at night, and he's still taking his subordinates to rush the manuscript!
The Queen was very pleased, she tore open the space and prepared to install the thin wax nest in Roger's office in the ice room.
He will certainly be super surprised and moved, right?
