Chapter 173: Mars the Thief
As the sun sets in the east, a touch of the afterglow of the dusk is soaked in the pool of the fountain, and the evening breeze blows through it, reflecting a wave of waves.
Lori, the werewolf, held a wild cat that came from nowhere, scratching its jaw in relief, and the latter enjoyed it.
"Although、I don't want to say that, but Uncle Bones ......"
Sitting on the steps of the square not far from the Adventurer's Guild, the werewolf Lori squeezed out an embarrassed smile, looking at Ai Xiuyin, who had completely fallen into despair with his head and broken thoughts, and comforted him helplessly: "Although no one knows you, you don't have to be so sad." ”
But this sentence obviously did not have any substantive effect.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I'm just a poor cocoon. Please calm down the humble cocooners for a while......"
After sighing, Alice helplessly held her chin and looked back and forth at the crowd in the square, looking a little overwhelmed.
Werewolf Lori is very distressed now.,Since she came out of the Adventurer's Guild.,My boss has fallen into a negative state of falling into a low point in life.,No matter what you ask, you'll say something like [I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry] or [It turns out I'm really just a poor cocoon, a poor worm forgotten by the world], and this state has lasted for more than an hour.
There was no solution at all, so in the end, I could only temporarily stay on the steps of the square and blow the cold wind to think about countermeasures.
But he didn't have the strange confidence of Uncle Spendham, and he didn't know how to say comforting lines, so he had to freeze in place.
As for the reason, she can guess more or less, and after swearing to say lines like [let you see how good my popularity is], she didn't find a character who knew her after looking in the crowd for an afternoon, and finally even left the original intention of releasing the task behind, and just slipped out......
I didn't expect the undead to be hit to such a point by such a trivial matter that no one remembers. Alice sighed at this.
After continuing to stalemate for a while, the werewolf Lori jumped up violently: "That's right! And that, Uncle Bone, don't be depressed!"
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Ai Xiuyin ask, the werewolf Lori said as if she had realized something: "Uncle Bone, didn't you say that after meeting Uncle Spendham, you would occasionally go to the square to tell stories!"
"That's right," a certain skeleton nodded, and then his eyes were dilated again: "Miscellaneous for the brave, so what?"
After all, the conditions of the alliance also include letting Spandham, who has a talent for some reason, be a tutor, so occasionally ...... Almost every day, Carol would appear at the door at dawn and disappear around the corner with the Waste Sword, occasionally following them out of curiosity to see what they were doing, but each time he would only see them performing in crowded places.
Because it's fun to watch, I've been in it a few times......
"So!" Alice suddenly raised her voice, and said in a loud voice, "Maybe some children who are interested in the story will remember you!"
"Yes, although I don't know why our goal has changed to find someone who knows me," after spitting on himself, Eshuin also reacted, and ignited a glimmer of hope, "But maybe there is really such a person here, it's hard to say!"
Speaking of which, a strange consensus was reached, and the two were happily preparing to find a few savior-like bear children near the square.
Whew!
At this moment, a cold wind howled by, blowing a few fallen leaves from the uninhabited square.
"You're not a wolf or a pig, Alice, and so am I. Ai Xiuyin lowered his head and covered his helmet with his hands: "In a winter night, who would let their children ...... outside!"
"Hmm...... I suddenly remembered what Uncle Bones said you once said. ”
Alice, who was ridiculed, was not angry, and popped out for no reason: "It turns out that this is the last straw that broke the camel's back." ”
There was a brief silence between the two of them and a feral cat, and what was worse than the awkward atmosphere was that Alice could even feel that the air was gradually condensing, although she didn't know why it had developed to this point, but what she had to do to change the situation.
Otherwise, the skeleton, which is sometimes reliable, but occasionally disconnected, is likely to collapse from now on.
"Don't—Don't be discouraged...... Let me see...... Look...... Ah, I found it! There's someone in the corner of the square, Uncle Bone, hurry up, Alice has found the target! There's a ...... over there" Lori, the werewolf who was a little excited to find the target, said faster and faster, and the more she looked at it, the smaller her tone became: "Hmm..... There was a beggar sleeping in the corner......"
As the words fell, Alice turned her gaze to the skeleton in her armor, and all she saw was a lifeless shell.
Sure enough, this news couldn't even make a skeleton look up. After all, they had spent the whole afternoon wandering around the Adventurers' Guild, but they didn't find anyone who knew about him, so miserable that the chances of a beggar sleeping on the streets in the winter would know about a skeleton were slim.
"Hey, hey, that, the little girl over there. Who are you talking about, who are the beggars! Hah? Apologize to Lao Tzu!"
But just when the werewolf Lori was about to give up hope, the beggar on the opposite side of the square seemed to hear something, and suddenly opened the newspaper covering him, and approached angrily while trembling.
"Hah...... At first glance, it is a very troublesome person...... I'm sorry, uncle, I was wrong. ”
Looking at the stranger who was cold and purple and stubborn enough to lean over, after all, she was at fault first, and Alice also apologized happily.
"Uncle!?I'm only in my twenties, don't.—Don't think it's an orc, I don't dare to do it!
He was a diminutive human, with only a pitifully thin set of leather armor and cloaks, and the only thing that seemed to be worth some money was a glittering dagger pinned to his waist, dressed as a thief.
Watching the stranger roll up her sleeves and prepare for battle, Alice also sighed and showed her claws, her eyes biting the throat of her prey......
The wolves are not afraid of provocation, but they have to find deadly parts when they do it, especially for good hunters.
"Wait! Don't rush to fight yet!"
When Alice was just about to make a move, the adventurer dressed as a thief looked at her suspiciously, and then his eyes wandered, and he asked uncertainly: "Ai Xiuyin, hey, that's Ai Xiuyin behind you! Hey, where did you run away this kid this time! The head of the regiment has been looking for you for a long time, so the little girl is actually his friend? Hahahaha, I really don't know each other......!"
"Huh!?"
Alice twitched the corners of her eyes, showed a helpless expression, turned her head and pointed at the jet-black armor: "Do you know this person!?"
"What are you talking about, of course you know," the thief adventurer put on a disgusted expression [I don't understand what you're talking about] and pointed back and forth to himself and Ashine: "Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Mars, I'm a thief adventurer, and I am best friends with this guy!"
"Well, Alice, what are you causing trouble again, why is there a beggar here?"
These unexplained movements also alarmed a certain skeleton caught in his own world, and when he came back to his senses, he found that there was an inexplicably ragged guy in front of him.
Hearing these words, the werewolf Lori looked at Mars with an intriguing expression, as if he wanted him to experience this look for himself.
"Wait, wait! What are you talking about!" Mars was a little embarrassed by such an obvious slap in the face, and quickly pointed at himself with a red face and explained in a panic, "It's me, Mars! The chief thief of the Wind Wolf Adventure Band! Let's go and peek into the bath on the east side of the town......"
"Wait, wait, wait!!"
Ai Xiuyin was also shocked by something, and hurriedly covered Mars's mouth: "I know who you are, you were joking just now!Hahahaha, shut up, there are underage wolves here, let's talk about the rest in private!"
"You, you let go of me first," said Mars, the thief adventurer, as he struggled, "Hurry, I'm almost out of breath!"
