Chapter 9: Yoyo's Identity
"That, Yoyo." Zhou Yan looked at the girl in front of him with some embarrassment, and then his eyes unconsciously looked to both sides, in short, it was difficult to put his eyes on Youyou's body.
There was no way, after all, not only was he seen by the other party in his humiliation, but he also walked out of the forest with the help of this girl. Until he returned to the city gate, Zhou Yan was even saluted by several passers-by.
"Hey, hey, what's the matter, Mr. Yan." However, Yoyo probably didn't notice Zhou Yan's embarrassment, and asked with a smile very happily.
I can't say it, I really can't say it. I really can't say anything if I want to break the team or something.
Zhou Yan hugged his head in pain. But Yoyo didn't care about Zhou Yan like this. Zhou Yan probably guessed that Youyou must have regarded Zhou Yan's undisguised weakness in front of her yesterday as Zhou Yan's trust in her. That's why I can smile like that.
Yes, Zhou Yan wants to break the team with Youyo. Although he wanted to recruit Yoyo to become his team before, after yesterday's incident, he also learned that he was still immature. And such an immature self is also facing other traversers who may attack at any time. It's too easy to put Yoyo in danger.
After all, the other party had just turned thirteen years old, and Zhou Yan didn't want to bring such a young child into his own danger. Although, in addition to the flaws in his character, Yoyo is actually very good in all aspects, both in combat effectiveness and intelligence. Even if you don't care about these, even if you just put it aside to catch your eyes, you're very qualified as a beautiful girl.
But after all, Yoyo is only thirteen years old, and children of this age are going to come out and beg for a living, Zhou Yan really wants to ask Yoyo's parents what they think.
"Yoyo ......" Zhou Yan finally made up his mind, planning to explain it to Yoyo, and by the way, he proposed to cancel the team.
"All attention, all attention! This is a mission released by the City Lord's Mansion! The door of the public house was pushed open, and a man in armor entered.
Zhou Yan's words were interrupted, which made him very unhappy, but considering that the other party was an official official, he could only swallow this breath.
Everyone in the guild was drawn to it. The man was satisfied that he had been watched, and walked all the way to the bulletin board with the sound of "clicking" in his armor.
"Grudo! What the hell is going on, hurry up! Some of the adventurers who knew the soldier shouted.
"This is it!" Grudo slapped a piece of paper, much larger than the other task lists, on the bulletin board, and then slapped it twice with a pushpin and pushpin: "A group of griffons and other monsters have recently gathered in the old ruins of the west of the city, Your Highness the Princess...... His Highness the Castle Lord hopes that all adventurers will be able to defeat them and protect the surrounding villages and towns from damage. ”
"In this crusade, those who have a record will be rewarded with two gold, and the crusade against a griffin will be rewarded with an additional ten gold! If you can catch a griffin cub or bring back a griffin egg, there will be a 10 gold reward for each cub or egg! ”
"Oooo
Grudo's words drew cheers from the adventurers, and it was clear that the reward for this quest was very rich.
After speaking, Grudo did not wait for the adventurers to respond, and left the guild directly. And Zhou Yan looked at Youyou, whose eyes were shining, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
"That's it, Mr. Yan!" Youyou looked at Zhou Yan: "That's it, Mr. Yan!" That's the task, we can do it! ”
"Okay, okay, I know, can you not grab my hand, although I'm not unhappy." Zhou Yan said with an embarrassed face.
"Ahh Hug, sorry. Yoyo noticed that he got carried away as soon as he was excited, and reverted back to the shy appearance he had when they first met.
Zhou Yan sighed helplessly. The words I wanted to say about disbanding the team could only be held back in my mouth.
It was easy for him to figure out why Yoyo found this task a good fit. Because it's a mission issued by the City Lord's Mansion, and the reward is very generous as mentioned just now. The most important thing is that this quest will unsurprisingly have a lot of adventurers to go with, and if you follow other adventurers, you can complete the crusade relatively easily. As long as you can kill monsters, you have a guarantee of two gold, and if you can kill a griffin or catch a griffin cub or find a griffin egg, there is an additional reward of ten gold each.
No matter how you look at it, it is a task that is very suitable for the two-person team of Youyou and Zhou Yan, who are small and not very powerful.
It seems that Yoyo has also thought about how the two of them should take the task. Thinking of this, Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh deeply again.
Speaking of which, after returning with Yoyo yesterday, Zhou Yan and Yoyo each took a horn from the Minotaur. Because it was Bai Yin who killed the minotaur, it couldn't be counted as their crusade, so the mission naturally failed.
Later, after saying goodbye to Youyou, Zhou Yan completed the sacrifice in the alley where no one was around, according to Li's instructions. Then, in a burst of white light, ten gold coins fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
Now that Zhou Yan, who finally has some money, finally didn't have to sleep in the alley, but rested in the stable for the night. As for the sword that was obtained after completing a special mission, because there was no scabbard, the pitch-black sword body was exposed to the air.
And Zhou Yan couldn't wear clothes because of yesterday's battle, so before coming to the Adventurer's Guild today, he went to buy a new dress, and this costume that was almost the same as a T-shirt cost him two gold.
Later, when Zhou Yan carefully examined the sword, he found a small inscription at the junction of the sword body and the hilt, and he could discern the meaning of that text as "Wang Yu". That's probably the name of the sword.
When Youyou took Zhou Yan's card to register for the crusade mission issued by the City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Yan, who was bored, suddenly felt a piercing gaze staring at his back.
When he turned around, he saw Bai Yinzheng with murderous intent on his face, and his eyes were even staring at him like sparks.
How did you meet her here? Zhou Yan turned his head stiffly, even though the eyes of the two met for a moment just now, he still hypnotized himself: "I didn't see it, I didn't see it, I didn't see anything." ”
"Eh, what's wrong with Mr. Yan?" At this time, Yoyo had already returned, and she saw Zhou Yan muttering something to herself there, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's nothing, by the way, Yoyo, let's go out and find a place to eat breakfast first." Zhou Yan stood up with a smile.
"Eh, but you can't ...... in the guild" Yoyo was puzzled.
"It's okay, it's okay, I have to go out to eat once in a while, ahahaha." Zhou Yan smiled stiffly and walked out with a push on his shoulder.
"But, but ......" Youyou was a little nervous when Zhou Yan touched it.
Zhou Yan just smiled stiffly, as if he couldn't feel the piercing gaze coming from behind him, and left the Adventurer's Guild with Youyou.
"Mr. Yan, what's wrong?" As smart as Youyou, it was naturally easy to find out that Zhou Yan was wrong.
"It's the cat from yesterday." Zhou Yan smiled bitterly and gave an explanation.
At this time, the two of them sat down at an open-air stall not far from the guild, and at this time, Zhou Yan's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Yan, can you not kill that cat." ”
Li's words seemed clueless, and Li hadn't made a sound since the sacrifice yesterday. Until that sound just now, it was the first time Zhou Yan heard Li's voice from last night to today. Because he was a little concerned, Zhou Yan focused on listening to the voice in his head, and at this time Yoyo seemed to say something, but Zhou Yan didn't hear it clearly.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
The first surprise belonged to Zhou Yan, and the latter came from Youyou.
"Glass?" Zhou Yan tried to call in his mind, but he could only feel the complicated feelings coming from there.
"Mr. Yan! Mr. Yan! Have you listened to me? ”
"Uh, sorry, distracted." Zhou Yan naturally wouldn't tell him about it, so he waved his hand and made an excuse at random and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I mean, Mr. Yan and that one, ...... Is that Miss Cat, that ......" Youyou's face turned red somehow, and said with some twists: "Is it the person that Mr. Yan likes or something...... Or is it a bad fate? ”
Wait, why are you looking so excited? Sure enough, girls like gossip? Zhou Yan rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "How can I make you think of this!" ”
"Ah, isn't it?" Yoyo said nervously: "But, but yesterday I kissed, kissed ......"
"In short, there are many reasons. Me and her are not the weird relationship you think. Zhou Yan explained with a wry smile.
"Strange?" But soon Yoyo showed a wary expression: "Is Mr. Yan the one who will kiss a cute girl as long as he looks at it?" ”
"Don't be so vigilant!" Zhou Yan said annoyedly, and at the same time added in his heart: I won't shoot at a child of your age!
Then immediately changed the subject: "Yoyo, let's not get to know each other well......
"Yan, does Mr. Yan want to make a move on me......" Yoyo's face turned completely red.
"Please, please stop the communication barrier."
Yoyo: "......"
Zhou Yan: "......"
"Mr. Yan, I can't pretend that I haven't heard what I said just now!" Yoyo waved his fist angrily: "Although, it is indeed a ditch, a communication barrier...... Not really! It's just that I'm shy...... I'm not a girl who will be deceived by someone casually in the name of making friends! ”
"I didn't get to that point at all, and your claims don't feel credible." After Zhou Yan complained calmly, in order to keep the topic from going further and further, he said at the same time: "Okay, Yoyo, I just want to know why your parents are willing to let you take risks outside." How do you look at your age......"
"Mr. Yan, I said it! Although we have to be sixteen years old to get married, we can prepare at the age of fourteen, so fourteen years old is considered an adult! Yoyo stood up and crossed his waist, and said complacently: "And, Mr. Yan, in fact, I am not from this world, although I don't know how I came here, but I am not from this world." ”
"Oh, I see." Zhou Yan nodded in understanding: "Indeed, since it is not a world, it can't be measured by the same standard, uh-huh......"
"Huh! Wait, you're saying you're not from this world? Then it took half a minute for someone to react.
"yes." Yoyo didn't hide the slightest hint and then showed a lonely smile: "I was still scared when I first came, and now I still miss my parents and friends......"
"Wait, I've never heard of that." Zhou Yan covered his forehead and tried to sort out his somewhat chaotic thoughts: "In other words, you, you, are you a traverser?" ”
"I don't know what a traverser means, but probably yes." Yoyo nodded.
I'm in trouble. Zhou Yan thought with annoyance that he had never thought that Yoyo would be such a thing as a traverser.
I didn't expect to be so close to a traverser unsuspectingly.
She shouldn't have known that I'm a traverser, right? No, maybe you know it, but you don't have to. So is this attitude and character of hers a disguise?
All kinds of doubts and thoughts rushed in, because it was too sudden, which made Zhou Yan's heart very upset.
"Ahh That's enough! Because there were too many thoughts in his mind, Zhou Yan couldn't help but pound the table irritably.
"Ahh Yoyo was taken aback by his sudden movements and anger, and couldn't help but show a shrunken expression.
Is it fake, or is it not fake? Zhou Yan didn't know how to judge, now he was in a mess, and Li didn't contact him at all.
"That, that ......" Youyou had a frightened expression and whispered to Zhou Yan.
"Sorry for the troublesome thing that came to mind. I'm sorry. I shouldn't be angry at you. Really, I'm sorry. Zhou Yan could only say this first, and he didn't know how to face Youyou for a while.
"I, I'm the ......" said this, but he didn't know how to find his mistakes, and Yoyo's voice became quieter and quieter.
Zhou Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, it has nothing to do with you." Let's get ready for the next crusade. ”
"Okay, okay." However, there is still a little distance between Yoyo and Zhou Yan.
Gotta dismiss her from the team. Zhou Yan secretly made a decision in his heart, after this task, he honestly confessed that he would not form a team again. In any case, although Zhou Yan thought of it, he also denied the idea that he had to kill Youyou, after all, his heart had not yet reached the point where it was as dry and hard as dried wood.
