Sharmie's talent was not enough for her to gain a foothold in the Holy City. She was born with a large Soul Sea, and her starting point was higher than ordinary people when she entered the Heroic Soul Stage. However, cultivation talent was not such a simple statistic. Just like how a tall person might not be suitable for playing basketball, talent was a comprehensive statistic. Any obvious shortcomings were enough to erase all your advantages.
She might have understood this a long time ago, and Mario's death affected her in a way that others could not imagine. She was completely disheartened, so it was not surprising that she made such a decision.
"It's all because we are too incompetent. Does she blame us?" Small Eyes's eyes were red.
Wang Zhong smiled and shook his head. "No, on the contrary, I feel that she is really very calm and relaxed. It's like … a feeling of liberation. If there's a chance, let's go back to Earth to visit her. She will definitely be very happy to meet her old friend."
Blame them? Maybe a little, but was what Oscar and the others did wrong? If they could not bear it, everyone here might have died before Wang Zhong came back. One could not stand on the moral high ground and demand others to do so. Even God could not do this.
The others could not help but laugh when they saw his reaction. Small Eyes, who was originally angry, could not help but burst into laughter. Just as she was about to speak, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Wang Zhong, we are fine!" It was Si Jiali who came in. Her face was full of excitement, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. It was obvious that she had run all the way from the headquarters.
"What do you mean we are fine?"
"The punishment for killing Hale. Not guilty! An official document! " Si Jiali excitedly shook the stack of documents in her hand. This was the verdict that had just been issued in the morning. Even the Great Teacher had not read it yet, but Si Jiali directly made a copy and rushed it over. She had been worried sick for the past few days.
"Yay!"
"F * ck, I knew it! Why should we be responsible for killing a scumbag? Who approved this document? So wise! "The other members of the Wanderlust Team cheered.
Si Jiali ran to Wang Zhong excitedly and handed him the document in her hand. "Quick, take a look!"
Wang Zhong laughed but did not take the document. Instead, he suddenly reached out and held Si Jiali's hand that was holding the document.
Huh?!
Wang Zhong's sudden movement caused the room to fall silent. A fresh flower appeared in Wang Zhong's left hand. It was a local product of the Octopus Planet.
"Scarlett, will you be my girlfriend?"
The room turned completely silent. Wang Zhong, who was omnipotent on the battlefield, appeared slightly clumsy at this moment. Indeed, he was rather stupid. However, in Scarlet's ears, those words were the most romantic words in the world.
Scarlet only felt a 'weng' sound in her head as her vision blurred. Ever since the bottom of the Frost Canyon, she had been waiting for these words for far too long.
She tried her best to hold back her tears, but they still fell like pearls from a broken necklace.
"En!"
It was simple yet warm, calm yet filled with romance.
The gloomy atmosphere in the room was instantly swept away, and the others also came back to their senses.
Everyone had been together for so long, and everyone was very familiar with Wang Zhong and Scarlet's' love history '. Even as early as the first day they entered the Holy City, there were too many metaphors about the most amazing flower being stuck in the smelliest cow dung. Of course, the members of the Wanderlust Team would not think that Wang Zhong was cow dung, but this guy was really too crazy about training. Sharmie and Small Eyes had already criticized this blockhead behind his back more than once. Sometimes, even the others would feel anxious for him.
However, they did not expect that even this blockhead would be enlightened!
The sadness from Sharmie's departure seemed to have been restored in this romantic atmosphere, and everyone in the room was excited.
"Oh oh oh oh!"
Bang bang bang!
Small Eyes kept knocking on the table and yelling, "Give me a kiss! Kiss! "
There was no need for her to say it. Wang Zhong had already given a faint smile and pulled the crying Scarlet into his embrace in a rather natural manner. Feeling the warmth of her lover, as well as his broad and reliable chest, Scarlet's tears continued to fall. However, her heart was filled with happiness and warmth.
Just as the Wanderlust Team was rejoicing, someone in the command center also saw the verdict.
The verdict was placed on Sophia's table. She had already read it. Wang Zhong was not guilty, but he was fined 5,000 Holy Coins for destroying public property in the bar and causing some chaos in the camp.
Sophia was a little surprised by the verdict.
Generally speaking, reporting this kind of matter was just going through the procedures. It was just a small Holy Disciple, so the higher-ups would definitely let her handle it. However, this time, they specifically asked about it and directly issued a verdict. This was during the Holy Battle. Were the higher-ups that free?
That was not all. The key was the verdict of not guilty.
Frankly speaking, not punishing Wang Zhong was within her expectations. A Heroic Soul who could kill a Sword Saint alone, no matter how he did it, would definitely be valued by the higher-ups of the Holy City Army. The speculations of the Holy Disciples were obviously wishful thinking. The Holy Battle was a time when the higher-ups needed manpower. Sending such a talent back to the Holy Land was obviously a loss. The problem was the nature of the verdict.
If it was just an ordinary case of cherishing talents and needing manpower, then the arbitral tribunal could just charge Wang Zhong with contempt of military rules and fine him to make up for his mistakes. This was also the usual punishment for special talents under normal circumstances. However, the verdict directly used the word 'not guilty' …
Don't underestimate the difference in the literal meaning. The difference between this and the previous verdict was that Wang Zhong's resume would not have any stains.
This was definitely not an ordinary case of cherishing talents. It was as if someone was deliberately protecting his future.
Tap tap … Tap tap …
Sophia leaned against the back of her chair and gently tapped her fingers on the verdict. She suddenly stopped, and a smile appeared on her face. "Interesting …"
…
Wang Zhong's punishment was soon announced in the Exploration Team Department.
He was not guilty of murder, but he destroyed public property in the bar and caused a negative impact on the camp. Therefore, he was fined 5,000 Holy Coins as a warning.
Fine …
The large group of people in the Exploration Team Department who were waiting to see the result were all speechless. This was f * cking a punishment?!
To be honest, a fine of 5,000 Holy Coins was not a small amount. For many Holy Disciples, this might be a punishment that would bankrupt them. However, the problem was that it depended on the person. For a guy who killed a Sword Saint, was 5,000 Holy Coins a big deal?
As the verdict was issued, the mission reward that the Wanderlust Team had been suppressing was released at the same time.
The Black Boulder Energy Cave had been destroyed, and the guards stationed there, including the Sword Saint, were all killed. Of course, the mission was 200% complete.
