41. Cold War

Lance immediately chased after him, followed behind, and when he was about to reach the exit, Danica was blocked by several passing knights, and couldn't help but stop for a few seconds, and Lance successfully caught up with Danica. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Don't get me wrong, Danica, calm down, I never meant that. ”

"I misunderstood you. ”

She turned around, nodded, and looked at Lance's side, not looking at him head-on.

"I want to go back, I've been here for too long, everyone in the mountain town needs me very much. ”

"Danica?"

"I'm fine, really. ”

Danica turned her gaze away and looked at Lance, this time not avoiding his gaze, "You should consider my feelings, I don't want to stay here for a moment, even for a second, I want to go back, I want to go back very, very much." Lance, you don't need to do anything for me, I really don't want to think about what happened here, do you understand?"

"I understand, I'll send you away right away. ”

Looking at her expression, Lance knew that if he continued to talk about it, he would only make her angry, the real kind of anger, the kind that would not easily forgive himself. For a moment, Lance felt a little dazed, why didn't Danica want to help her herself?

Helplessly, Lance could only say this to her.

"I'm sorry, you can say something to reproach me, it's okay to curse me, I can accept it. ”

"Not necessarily!"

"Okay. ”

It would be better for her to get out of here as soon as possible, she didn't need to know what was going on, especially that operation.

She should stay away from all dangers, though Lance still doesn't understand what is wrong between them.

"You still have some things left at my house, I'll send you over to get the things first, and then go to the teleportation array, is your travel back enough?"

"Lend me ten gold coins, ten will be enough. ”

"Don't be polite to me, I'll tell Master Swider the news that you're okay, and you won't need to worry about it after that. ”

"Oh, yes. ”

After coming out of the temple branch, Danica remembered something, suddenly stopped, and removed the thing that was hanging around her neck.

"This, give it back to you, I don't need it. ”

Danica threw the necklace to the ground and said indifferently, "It's useless, I was expecting it to play a little role, but I think too highly of it, don't pick it up, it's really a piece of garbage." ”

Then, as if to vent her anger, Danica lifted her foot and stomped the thing to pieces, and a beautiful necklace literally turned into a pile of garbage.

"Danica?!"

Lance didn't have time to stop it, watching her move in disbelief.

"Let's go, isn't it just a piece of garbage?

“……”

"Do you really think so......?"

"What?"

"No, nothing. ”

Lance's face turned a little gloomy.

On the way to Jepéry's house, the two sat in the carriage, one on one side, Lance sat with his head bowed and his hands crossed, Danica staring at the window. Between the two, not a word was spoken, and there was an unusual silence.

When the carriage arrived, Danica stepped out of the carriage first, staring at Lance as he got out of the carriage with a mocking smile.

"Lance, don't you still mind that thing, it's just a useless. ”

“…… What are you talking about, here we are. ”

Lance chose not to look at her and walked up to her, "Come with me, you shouldn't forget how to go, right?"

They went to the room where Danica had stayed last time, and Danica began to pack her belongings, and Lance leaned against the wall to watch her every move. There was still silence between them. When Danica was about to pack up the last item, Lance suddenly said, "You are so anxious to leave, why don't you go and say goodbye, there is something I haven't told you yet, Neil and Charlie have come to Marlene, they have been assigned a lot of work by the Temple of the Four Directions, and they will be busy for a long time in the future." ”

"...... they came to Marlene?"

Danica stopped in surprise.

"Yes, they're worried about you. ”

“…… What is there to worry about, I'm going back to the mountain city soon, they're busy, so I'm not going to bother them. ”

"Missing? I can't cope with Ami's questioning. ”

“…… It's gone, no, they're busy, and so am I, a lot of work, I can't waste another second. ”

"I didn't expect you to think like that, ignoring other people's worries, Danica, you know how ...... I've been for more than a month How...... Forget it, that's enough!! I'll be waiting for you at the gate......"

In the face of her attitude, this tone, and this kind of rhetoric, Lance couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the door and went out.

"Gone. ”

"It's really useless, I actually cried, it's really ...... Ah, it's really hard, deliberately pretending to be like that, saying things like that, it really doesn't look like me at all. Damn, the tears are getting more and more!"

"Tears are such a nuisance, and I can't stop it. ”

"Damn!"

Danica wiped away her tears in anger and recalled those encounters, the most uncomfortable time, when hunger and thirst eroded consciousness, and consciousness was difficult to maintain, and could only be driven away by other means. Danica was not afraid of pain, so she pinched her arm with her fingers, leaving some scars, to maintain her last consciousness, but this method did not maintain much effect.

Many, many things Danica can't say.

Lance stood near the gate and waited for more than half an hour to see Danica.

"Get in the car. ”

The carriage quickly drove them to the Magic Guild, and when they got down, Lance said, "The Magic Guild is different now, because of your business, the magicians of the Magic Guild have been purged, and it has become very deserted inside. ”

Entering the Magic Guild, Danica did find that this place was exactly the same as what Lance said.

Some of the magicians looked at themselves and Lance in a strange way, probably from the moment they came in, these people knew who they were.

Lance took out a money bag, "The money here is enough for you to go directly to the teleportation array in the border town, if you want to go back as soon as possible, using the magic array in the border city is the fastest, unlike when you came to save money and spent so much time." For the rest, you can rent a horse-drawn carriage in the border town and head back to Ridingpa town. ”

"I took it, thank you for your help. ”

"That'...... Goodbye, Lance. ”

Danica stood in the center of the teleportation array, and the magician next to him loaded the magic crystal, and the magic array activated its effect, and the white light that appeared enveloped Danica, and after the light disappeared, Danica was no longer in place.

“…… Danica. ”

Lance whispered the name and turned to leave the Magic Guild.

"It turns out that you are adventurers from the wild beast field. ”

The group sat down at a good-tasting restaurant in a thriving shopping street, ordered a lot of food, and started talking about themselves before the food was on the table. Xia Li was a little surprised by their origins and smiled, "What a strange combination." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruthma, who was sitting next to Xia Li, showed a disappointed smile.

"Hey, both, we've been talking for so long, we haven't recognized each other yet, have we?"

"Huh?"

"What?"

"I'm Lustma, couldn't it be that you were too young to forget about me?"

"Can't you remember? We met for the first time when we were in Wolfsburg, and we've met a few times since, and you still don't remember me?"

"Ah...... Ahh!!h

Xia Li couldn't close her mouth in surprise.

Neil was also dumbfounded, "I didn't expect Kozmo's gossip to be true, and Lorog's lover is an adventurer...... It turned out to be you!! I remembered that the name that Kozmo once told me was !! you!!"

"Whew, it's good that Ami isn't there...... Otherwise, Ami would have had an even more exaggerated reaction. ”

Neil and Xia Li didn't have a deep impression of Lorog, they had met a few times when they were children, and then Lologg left the Suzaku Temple halfway, and then they didn't have much contact, and they didn't even attend the annual meeting of the Temple of the Four Directions, and they always stayed in the Wild Beast Field. Even if they originally knew each other, the relationship was slowly estranged, Neil and Xia Li would occasionally hear people from the Temple of the Four Directions talk about Lorog, that is, the rumored gossip information, from a certain envious and jealous big mouth, and now, Neil and they met Rusma, the protagonist of the gossip information.

"We really didn't recognize each other during the meeting. ”

"Over the years, you've changed a lot. ”

"Meow???You know meow!"

"It's not strange that Meow, Vivian, the Dragon Slayer Knight was originally connected to the Sifang Temple, and Lologg is still the former shaman's chief, Lolog's situation is a little special, but Meow who has been in contact with the Sifang Temple for so many years!"

"Sometimes the world is so small. ”

Samuel chimed in.

"Speaking of which, how did you first know each other? I've heard that the Beast Fields don't like Terrans, with the exception of Sister Ruthma, and the Beast Fields doesn't like adventurers from the Adventurers' Guild. ”

"There are many reasons, in fact, the relationship between the Wild Beast Wilderness and the Terrans has eased a little bit in the past few years, and it is not as tense as it was at the beginning. Ruthma said that she had been in and out of the Wild Beast Wilderness more than once, and she had come to this feeling when she saw the changes in the Wild Beast Field.

"Let's talk about what we're going to do in three days, Charlie, that's enough to talk about, right? I know you like adventurers' adventures, so let's put them for later. ”

……

……………

………………

After more than an hour, they came out of the restaurant, Samuel and the others suggested a trip to the blacksmith and magic shop, Neil and Xia Li had Ami, Ami was a big killer against the shadow mage, and it didn't take much to do it. The dragon slayer knight and the sword-wielding girl accompanied them to the acquaintance's shop, bought some magic accessories to protect the magic, and came out.

"Speaking of which, what's your relationship?"

When visiting the magic shop, Samuel said directly, "I don't want to inquire about private matters or anything, forget about the dragon slayer knight, you seem to want to get involved, such a dangerous operation, isn't it too much for the Temple of the Four Directions to involve an ordinary person?"

Samuel added in his heart, and he is also an aquarian, as far as he knows, the aqua people are more conservative towards the human race than the orcs in the beast field, and even the city with the largest number of aliens in the Rodi Pava Empire has never seen a few aquarists, probably difficult to adapt to life on land. I didn't expect that there would be such a water tribe person in this operation, she won't be a burden, right?

"Charlie, she can protect herself. ”

Neil said, "She's a man with a sword." ”

"The man with the sword?

"Yes, although I am a hybrid of Terran and Aqua, I am also a sword-bearer. The sword-wielder is the third party who can slay the dragon knight and the sword, and when the dragon slayer knight's magic power is not enough, the sword-wielder can give his magic power to the dragon slayer knight. If the tacit understanding between the sword-wielding person and the dragon slayer knight and the divine sword is high enough, he can also use the divine sword instead of the dragon slayer knight, that is, the substitute for the dragon slayer knight. ”

"Don't look at me as slender, I've also learned to wield a sword, and if I'm serious, Neil may not be my opponent. ”

"At the beginning, the teacher said that Xia Li, you are more talented than me in this regard, but I have one more talent for light magic than you. ”

"Eh, wasn't that teacher joking at the time? ”

"Hey, teacher, how can he be so serious and joke so easily. ”

"Because I ...... at the time"

"Charlie !!"

"Anyway, that's what happened, Xia Li is more powerful than her appearance. Ruthma immediately came out of the round, and she could see that Neil didn't want Xia Li to continue, so she quickly interrupted, "Let's continue shopping." ”

After visiting those shops, Xia Li wanted to go to the bookstore.

"Let's separate here, you can go back to the branch first, Neil and I still want to go somewhere. ”

"Okay, let's go back first. ”

"Where else do you want to go?"

"Don't you remember? It's the 10th, and every three months it's the 10th, and I have to go! ”

"Hmm, is that the book written by Lee?"

"It's Ollie, Neal, your memory is always so bad, I've told you so many times. ”

"It's a troublesome look......"

"Then I'll go myself. ”

"I didn't say no!"

As they spoke, they walked away, and Vivian shook his ears, "This is the so-called meow with good feelings?"

"Probably. ”

"Meow, Vivian, maybe a meow that can be an example for you to follow!"

"Don't understand meow, what do you mean, learn, what can Vivian learn?

"Meow!

"Don't sell Guanzi's meow!"

The two came to a bookstore called the Classical Book Palace, and Xia Li came to this bookstore many times, and each time she was full of harvest.

"Why is this bookstore so weirdly named?"

"That's not weird, it's retro, right?"

"It's okay to say anything, books are just things to pass the time for me, Xia Li, hurry up and finish buying them and leave quickly." ”

"Neil, you're really tasteless. ”

"Adventurer-type novels can't be called taste. ”

"I'm not talking about adventurer novels. ”

"But you ......"

"Don't talk about it, don't bother me looking for books. ”

“……”

Neil was a little depressed, and stood by a bookshelf for a long time, not wanting to talk or read, until Xia Li walked towards him with a pile of thick books, and Xia Li was holding the books that completely blocked herself.

"Help me, Neil. ”

"You!!!Xiali?!! what did you buy? Why are there so many?"

"Types of building structures, encyclopedia of magic plants, encyclopedia of magic plants, plants suitable for planting in different climates, and ...... Uh, what is this?"

"It's a gift for Danica, not something I'm looking at. ”

"I went to her study, and I thought she must be in need of a book on the subject, except for a few fairy tales, and I bought it. ”

“…… Even if you buy it...... You don't need so much, you have at least fifty or sixty books in your hands, not to mention how much money you spend, these books are taller than your head, do you move?"

"That's why I asked you to help me, help me get a few books first, these books can't be thrown into the magic ring casually, you have to put them away one by one, otherwise the new books will become old books." ”

"For the first time, I thought it was a very, very troublesome thing to go to the bookstore with you......"

Neil looked at the pile of books, his face covered in black lines.

Finally returning to the temple branch, Neil felt exhausted after stepping inside.

"I'm tired. ”

"Don't do that, Neil, we're going to visit Danica. ”

Xia Li went to the room where Danica was resting with the book, and when she opened the door and went in, she saw that there was no one inside.

"Huh, did they go for a walk together?"

Xia Li inquired about the people in the branch and heard that they had really left together.

"No way, let's wait a while, wait for them to come back. ”

Xia Li found a few adventure novels she had just bought from the bookstore and began to read them slowly, Neil sat for a while, bored, and got up and told Xia Li that she was going to get Ami back.

A few hours later.

Xia Li closed the book and stretched out her hands.

"Unexpectedly exciting, it's a bit of a pity to watch it so quickly......"

Xia Li yawned and put the book back.

"Huh, hasn't Danica come back after all this time?"

Xia Li opened the door and went out to find Neil, "It's really strange, didn't Neil go to find Ami, when is it, and he hasn't come back yet!"

She inquired about the people at the temple, but she didn't get the answer she wanted, and she always had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Neil, this guy, is obviously tired of shouting. ”

Xia Li searched the street for a while, constantly asking passers-by about the whereabouts of Neil and Ami, and the passers-by shook their heads.

"By the way, go and ask Lance, maybe they'll walk to Lance's house. ”

"Lance...... I think it's Jepéry's house, so I'll have to go to the aristocratic district to find it. ”

"Really, leaving me alone to go to someone's house as a guest, with Neil's character, he will definitely not bring a gift for the meeting. ”
