Roger returned to his office, and Little Joey quietly followed, closing the door behind her.

Chapter 144: Angel-Specific Trap
The shadow puppet can impersonate Roger and also replace Dio, which actually frees up a lot of Roger's main body's free time.
If the Empress is constantly supervising the work, it is naturally double the exploitation.
But when she is not free to supervise all the time, someone will definitely slack off twice as much.
So, on the surface, work is becoming more and more busy, but in fact, the frequency of dating between Charles and Little Joey is much higher than before.
It's just that the plot is too one-sidedly abusive, so it's really not suitable to be published in a harmonious month.
But what we're talking about today is really serious business.
At least after some intimate physical(体液: bodily fluids) exchange, we're talking about serious business!
This round of expansion for "New Arcana" not only means that Roger can't spare more energy at the Drinking Ice Manor, but also considers the excessive work pressure on Little Joey.
A person's energy is limited. Unlike Roger, who only focuses on the big picture, Little Joey is the type who handles every detail.
Even with more assistants, she can't help but do everything herself in the end.
The workload on both sides is increasing, and she is gradually finding it difficult to balance work and personal life. Her working hours are starting to encroach on too much personal life, finally encroaching to the point where the slacking young master can't help but protest.
He's not a clingy person, but he doesn't like being invisible either.
Given that a certain superior's girlfriend is a workaholic, and the girlfriend refuses the superior's dating request on the grounds that there is too much work, try to find the psychological shadow area of the superior at this time.
In fact, Little Joey herself is also very tired, tired to the point of collapse.
But because of some kind of stubbornness, she always forces herself to desperately withstand the pressure on both sides and persevere.
Roger sees it in his eyes, and feels both helpless and distressed, feeling that it's time to remind her not to torture herself so meaninglessly anymore.
"Wanting everything" and "I refuse" are the kind of things that feel good for a while, but in the end, it's likely that you won't be able to handle it yourself.
Making choices is a skill that adults must learn.
A change in the original intention is not necessarily a bad thing, it may also be a kind of growth, in order to obtain a more reasonable work and life.
Roger first instilled a bowl of chicken soup into Little Joey, and finally summarized his point of view: "Drinking Ice Manor, Night Watch, you should choose one of the two."
"Is my work making you dissatisfied, Master?" Little Joey raised her head again, her eyes already filled with tears, pitiful and lovely.
Roger pulled her onto his lap and said softly: "So you didn't listen to what I said before, and only remembered the last sentence, thinking I was going to fire you?"
This is clearly enlightenment, dear!
It seems that I don't have the talent to be a mentor. Unfortunately, the real mentor has already been ruined at this time...
"Isn't it just being fired?" Little Joey pouted.
Roger held his forehead: "It's really not, silly girl. I'm satisfied with your work. No one can help me sort out the Drinking Ice Manor and Night Watch more worry-free. But I hope even more that you can have your own life."
"My life is to reduce your burden, Master, to help you, to assist you, so that you are not troubled by trivial matters and worldly affairs..."
"I have seen all your intentions, and I have kept them in my heart." Roger reached out and pressed her cherry lips, stopping her from continuing.
The more this girl says, the more distressed people feel, always afraid that she will give too much unilaterally, and she will not be able to repay it in this lifetime.
It's hardest to bear the grace of a beauty,
This kind of Shuang'er-type wife is a wonderful first experience, but in the minds of modern people, it always feels too unequal to her.
Okay, it's originally difficult to talk about equality in love, but you can't think that other people's intentions are a matter of course because of this.
Little Joey didn't speak, she just lay on Roger's left chest, listening to the heartbeat that was more violent than usual in her ears, and finally believed that this man was not a cold-blooded and ruthless person who would throw her away after using her.
He has her in his heart, so he will have emotions because of her.
Little girls are always more emotional than rational. They are often not convinced by logic, but moved by the other person's attitude.
Confirm that you are good to me, then whatever you say is good, I will listen obediently!
Roger looked at the sulking girl gradually quiet down, hugged her, and said in a very light and soft voice:
"I enjoy your gentleness, but I can't always occupy all of your life like this. You should have your own happiness, your own goals, your own ideals, instead of living as my shadow."
"But my happiness and goal is to be able to accompany you forever and ever, my ideal is for you to always remember that there is a fool who likes you with all her strength."
"You...you are indeed a fool, unique, a little fool that I will never forget." Roger looked at the girl's serious and somewhat shy face, and only felt that the scene was so moving.
Even if the real master is here, he can't help but return to secular life and spoil her for a lifetime, right?
"Master, you can't lie..."
"I understand all the rules. It's said to be a lifetime. One day less, one hour less, one minute less, one second less is not a lifetime."
"Ying!" Little Joey hadn't seen Farewell My Concubine, but she was still embarrassed to hear it, hid her face in his chest, and only stirred Roger's hem with her small hands.
"Then...choose one of the two?"
"Okay, I choose Night Watch."
In fact, she had just been persuaded and had been planning it.
"Well, very good. In this way, you don't have to work so hard, and you can use the time you save to experience life more and find a new fulcrum in life."
Little Joey pondered this strange command, and suddenly her eyes were full of charm: "A new fulcrum? Then would it count if you gave me a child?"
"Are you provoking me?"
Roger suddenly felt his mouth dry, failed to control his gun, and pressed the little woman hard into his arms.
She took the initiative first, how can a real man tolerate her?
First, let's have a round of messy stick beating!
A harmonious increase in feelings can also make the cooperation in battle smoother.
After a long time, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped.
Roger hugged the girl who was almost limp in his arms, with a somewhat dull expression, and said reluctantly: "Next, I will leave the Night Watch to you. I am going to play the role of a sacrifice, and communication may not be timely."
Little Joey immediately became worried, and also heard him talk about the next arrangement, and asked very worriedly: "Are you leaving tonight, Master? Can't I go with you?"
"Don't worry, this time the Empress is personally involved, so there is no need to worry about safety." Roger rubbed her ears.
Little Joey's eyes were subtle. It was because the Empress was involved that I was worried.
She changed the subject and complained in a low voice: "Master is really cold-blooded, letting me be idle, but running away himself..."
Roger thought for a while, and it was indeed a bit cruel of him to do this, and pondered: "Let Dio accompany you at night?"
"Okay!"
Getting her little calculation, Little Joey told him that she was afraid he would go back on his word, and immediately agreed.
The shadow puppet and the main body share senses, so it can be considered accompanying him, at least it can involve a little attention, right?
Hehehe.
That same night.
A mixed-blood little demon who mustered up the courage to book a luxury restaurant and wanted to express his gratitude for the proxy war:
"You have an appointment, right? It doesn't matter, then I'll do it another day... It really doesn't matter, you're busy, you're busy!"
Someone's voice is laughing, tears are falling, you on the other end of the magic communication don't know.
Wuwuwu, how many good friends does Dio still have!
......
......
On the Rose River dock, a heavy cargo ship is setting sail.
The mermaid sea country's emblem reflects the dense lights at the bow of the ship. The cargo ship is full of goods, the sails are bulging, and it is sailing smoothly towards the east.
The cargo hold is full of goods needed by the sea country, such as tea and steel, and in the deepest part, there is a special cabin with luxurious decoration and a complete ventilation magic circle installed.
This cargo ship is one of the water passages that Xia Ti prepared to escape, which can enter the sea from the east of the Rose River, and then sneak into the vast territory of the mermaid sea country.
If it weren't for the Night Watch mastering the arcane equipment of the era ahead of time, opening the full map to gain insight into the actions of the Tianming Army, this hand might really allow Xia Ti to capture Roger alive and leave by water.
But now this specially prepared cargo ship is part of the Empire's plan to trap Nalinai'er.
In the special cabin, there are Roger, Xia Ti and Old Joestar.
It's just that the state of the three people is not very serious.
On the bed in the cabin, Xia Ti is half-lying, reading a book.
But she has lost herself, and is now the puppet of Eris's magic worm Afu, and her every word and deed is arranged by him.
Perhaps by reading a certain memory, Xia Ti can play the role of the former Tianming mentor as usual, and even answer fluently and respond quickly.
But everything is just a remnant of the past.
Now she is just a soulless shell, and her self-awareness has completely sunk into the eternal pain of the heart demon realm.
Roger was tied up with five flowers and hung in the center of the cabin, with a full set of alchemy equipment installed on his body to prohibit magic fluctuations.
He swayed constantly with the cabin. The good news is that the binding designed by the Night Watch torture experts is quite humane, distributing the stress points of his body as much as possible.
Although the visual effect is a bit embarrassing, the actual experience is quite comfortable, similar to a hammock.
The bad news is that traveling long distances while maintaining a unified posture will still cause back pain.
In front of the dressing table, Old Joestar spread out a makeup box and was constantly busy looking in the mirror.
He is currently playing the role of a priest of the God of Knowledge, assisting Xia Ti in performing the sacrificial ritual.
But I don't know if it's a coincidence, or the Eternal Night Empress did it on purpose. The body she provided to Old Joestar is a mermaid lady, with a charming appearance and long legs.
"So I inexplicably became a professional in women's clothing?"
Fake women's clothing, putting on beautiful skirts and stockings, wearing cosmetic contact lenses and fake hair.
Real women's clothing, directly occupying the body of a big beauty, forcing a big man to smile brightly.
"I think you're quite enjoying it. At least your makeup skills are much better than the original owner."
Roger sincerely praised.
The mermaid priest has a good foundation, but after Old Joestar's makeup and restyling, her charm has increased by 50%.
"This...it's just triggered muscle memory!"
Old Joestar realized that he was instinctively making himself look better, holding up an eyebrow pencil and staring blankly at himself in the mirror.
With such skilled makeup skills, should I be happy, should I be happy, or should I be happy?
This is the core action team of the Empire's plan to trap the angel.
Roger is the bait to make Nalinai'er appear, and also the trap designed to influence her judgment and for greed.
In theory, Nalinai'er's battlefield is the multiverse, and it is impossible to pay too much attention here.
But what if that level of existence has other unforeseen preventive measures and intelligence channels? So from the moment they boarded the ship, Roger and others have been performing for the remnants of the Tianming Army on the ship.
What is difficult to explain is that Xia Ti disappeared for a while. It can only be said that the situation in the city is complicated, the Tianming Army suffered heavy losses, and Xia Ti waited for an opportunity to safely arrive at the dock area.
Fortunately, the responders on the cargo ship did not have any doubts and handed over the command to Xia Ti.
As for their Prince Shaq, it is said that he is addicted to playing cards and will play in the Arcane Capital for a few more days before returning to the country.
The people of the Sea Country were not surprised at all. As expected of His Royal Highness the Prince, it was indeed something only he could do.
In addition to Roger and the other three, multiple small teams of Night Watch and Arcane Society were secretly sent to the pre-ordered sacrificial site - an uninhabited island at sea.
These small teams are responsible for supervising and helping the Tianming Army and the Sea Country personnel to arrange the sacrificial ceremony, to prevent them from being unskilled and making mistakes.
Of course, while helping, the Arcane Society secretly installed a series of the latest models of arcane equipment underneath.
The last arrangement is that the Eternal Night Empress has set the teleportation coordinates and is on standby for support at any time.
If their previous arrangements fail, they are prepared to use violent means to capture Nalinai'er alive and prevent her from dying together.
Because of the existence of the plane barrier, even if Nalinai'er descends, it will only be part of her consciousness and part of her power.
If the situation is not right, she can completely abandon this body and make a big noise.
