Chapter 34: Lena's Helper (Part I)

"How's it going, brother, have you gotten a little more energetic?" asked Wendy with a smile on her face, not realizing how much shock her actions had caused to the people next to her.

Neo is a master of both magic and fighting energy, and is particularly sensitive to the breath of life energy that permeates the air. He even had the illusion that he was a flower seed buried deep in the soil, breaking the soil, sprouting, and growing until it bloomed in the warm embrace of that life energy. And when he came back to his senses, he was shocked to find that it was none other than Wendy, who had been silently following everyone all along!

"No! Such a rich life energy is definitely not something that an ordinary priest can do! Your Royal Highness Princess, what is the origin of this little girl? Could it be that the adult's mouth..."

Lena smiled: "Well, anyway, I can't hide this matter for too long! That's right, this little girl is the current host of the Immortal Soul! What's more, she has awakened some of the power of the Immortal Soul, so that her mother's illness can be saved!"

Neo was stunned when he heard this, then untied his tightly knit brow, patted his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Ha, I see." Oh, if you calculate it like that, I'll lose a lot! Protecting the next Holy Maiden of the One God Cult is not enough for this errand with just one set of equipment!"

Lena glanced at him, then at Ronin, who was smirking at Wendy, "It's late! And this child is very dependent on Luo Ning, and will never want to become a saint, and Luo Ning will not let her become a tool of those old guys! It is really out of control, I will stand by their brother and sister!"

"Yes!" the excitement on Neo's face gradually dissipated, and a layer of solemn melancholy was enveloped in it, "Who would bear to watch a kind and lovely little girl like Wendy turn into a puppet?"

On the other side, Luo Ning easily softened the shock in his heart and rubbed Wendy's head: "Well, I'm more energetic! Wendy, you... How did you do that?"

Wendy bit her lower lip, her translucent eyes rolled from side to side, and she smiled apologetically, "I don't know. The night before we left Maple Grove, I suddenly felt sleepy and fell asleep. It was during this time that a ball of light larger than me suddenly appeared in my mind. He taught me a lot and told me a lot of strange things. But when I woke up, all I remembered in my head were those few spells. The spell I cast just now, called the 'Revival Spell', can relieve fatigue and heal wounds! Yesterday in the tavern, I wanted to see if this spell could help those mercenaries. It's all because my brother wants to be in the limelight, and he wants to stop me, hum!"

Looking at the angelic person in front of him pouting and pretending to be angry, Luo Ning's heart was about to melt, and he only felt that there was no more beautiful and lovely existence in the world than Wendy.

He hesitated for a long time, but only held back a few clumsy answers: "Blame me, it's me who is not good, hehe!"

"Okay, okay, let's go back to the tavern early, maybe we still have time to have a glass of wine!" Neo stepped forward and pushed Luo Ning to the stool next to him, "As for Brother Luo Ning, you can obediently enchant the equipment here, and we'll see you in three days!"

Princess Lena took Wendy's hand and smiled, "But then again, Ronin, you shouldn't force yourself too much." If you really feel tired, rest as soon as possible. Wendy's security is at my disposal. ”

"Huh, are you concerned about me?" said Ronin, but then retracted his head, grabbed a short knife and clanked it, no longer looking at Lena and the others.

Early the next morning. The vast majority of people in Goldwater City are still asleep.

Not to mention what the situation is with Luo Ning, the progress of Lina and his party is not smooth. She was sitting at a table in the corner of the Bronco Tavern, staring at the little man sitting across from her, and neither of them would budge.

"One hundred thousand gold coins, not a single child is missing!" The little man's small rice-like eyes fixed on the eyes hidden behind the silver mask, unaffected by the noble aura of Lena's body.

At this moment, the magic bell appeared from the void like a demonstration, stared coldly at the young man with a black goatee on his face, and said disdainfully: "I think it's better to forget it! If you want to count on this kind of guy to protect Wendy, it's better to surrender directly!"

The little man's eyes narrowed slightly, glanced at the unkind magic bell, and let out a sneer.

"Stand down!" exclaimed Lina.

Immediately afterward, she seemed to think that this order was too cold, and shook her head helplessly: "Magic Bell, you have misunderstood! This gentleman is not the person we are looking for." The guy I'm looking for hates dealing with humans, so I'm asking Mr. Bentley to find a suitable employer!"

The little man pinched his beard, his face was proud and approving: "Yes, this young lady really understands people! And the 100,000 gold coins are only a deposit for the time being." If the commission is completed, we will only collect 50,000 gold coins in addition to the original reward!

"I haven't seen you for half a year, and I didn't expect that the price of hiring that Mr. Acro has increased a lot!" Lena took out two spar cards, drew 100,000 gold coins in one of them, and pushed them in front of the little man: "No more, no less, exactly 50,000 gold coins!" Mr. Bingley, please give me the token to contact Mr. Acro!"

The little man took out a black prismatic shaped spar, but he was not in a hurry to hand it to Lina, nor was he in a hurry to take the spar card, but reconfirmed: "Those three rules, you ......"

"First, Mr. Acro will never help humanity defend itself against an alien invasion. Second, Mr. Acro charged a per head fee, even if he was asked to shine the shoes of a second person, at double the cost. Thirdly, the employment period is only ten days! From the eleventh day he will no longer be responsible to the employer, and may even turn against him! I will naturally follow these three rules!"

"That's good! Just pop this hedron and Mr. Acro will arrive quickly!"

When the little man disappeared, Neo got up from the counter with a wine glass and walked to Lina and the two: "Your Royal Highness Princess, take the liberty of asking: Is that Mr. Acro really reliable?

"Among the bounty hunters I know, this half-dragon druid is in the top three! If he hadn't made a rule not to help humans fight against foreign enemies, I would have asked him to help defend Goldwater City. ”

Neo cupped his elbow and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "The half-dragon druid who hates humans? Could it be the black dragon envoy who is famous in the mercenary world? I heard that his transfiguration is superb, and he can even turn into a black winged dragon and spit black flames! When fighting with all his strength, his strength is comparable to that of a mage! If he is to protect Wendy, it is indeed very safe!"

But Princess Lena smiled mysteriously: "No, that's just a lie to their brother and sister." My real purpose is not to let him protect Wendy! The 200,000 gold coins are actually prepared to protect Luo Ning! I have a hunch that in the near future, that child's name will resound throughout the Lost Continent!"

Neo's and Magic Bell's eyes widened at the same time, and they both wondered if they had misheard: "What!?, Your Highness the Princess, but Wendy she..."

Princess Lena played with the black hedron in her hand: "Of course I won't risk Wendy's life!But if you know Akoro's background, you will understand that for that guy, Wendy is the most precious treasure in the world, and his last glimmer of hope! In order to protect Wendy, he will even sacrifice himself without hesitation like the fanatics who guarded Ammon thousands of years ago!"

The two of them were puzzled, and were about to ask again when they suddenly heard the sound of armor and horses' hooves at the door. The three of them looked up and saw the sheriff of Goldwater, Nylon Gale, leading a group of warriors in silver armor into the tavern and pasting a notice on the bulletin board at the door.
