Chapter 21: Mutation

"Whew, Alan, where did you come from?" The elf rubbed his head and looked at the black fish that was coming towards him, he was discussing with Salak why Alan hadn't come yet, but he didn't expect Alan to fall directly from mid-air, because the distance was too close, his knee hit his forehead.

But Alan didn't seem to be in a state yet, looking at Xia Zuo's green eyes that were watery because of the pain, how could this look the same as the girl who had just been panting?

When I got up and looked around at the scene, the scene of being just stunned by the garbage seemed to be a dream.

"Let's haw ~ Get in close contact with the strategy target once, get 1 point, and get extra rewards when you reach the full score."

Why does this product always like to brush up zài sense! That's enough......

Alan took a deep breath, he already remembered what he had done before......

Xia Zuo looked at the mermaid who suddenly became angry suspiciously, "Injured?" "The fish's face is a little abnormal.

"Need me to take a look? Healers used to be my side hustle. Salak asked with concern.

Alan waved his hand awkwardly, did he want him to say that an undisciplined system forced him to stir up the foundation every minute?

"No, nothing, let's get started."

The two politely didn't ask any more questions, although they were still curious about Allen's appearance, but now there was obviously something more important in front of them.

Each of the three people has a scroll, this is the running artifact that Xia Zuo carries with him, each can teleport three people at a time, and it is assigned, and each person has two dwarfs just right.

After the episode, several people returned to safety with the gnomes.

After settling the dwarf, the three of them will find a random place to sleep, and wait until tomorrow morning to talk about everything!

This night, Alan slept in a chaotic manner, and his bizarre dreams kept him half-asleep and half-awake.

When he woke up in the morning, feeling the familiar wet and cool feeling in his crotch, Alan covered his eyes.

Why did the object of yesterday's spring dream look the same as Xia Zuo?

He clearly remembers being a big girl......

After cleaning up, Alan was ready to get up and eat casually, but he didn't expect to see Xia Zuo coming over as soon as he opened the door.

Help me! Now when I saw this blonde elf, I felt a deep sense of shame and embarrassment at a loss.

Xia Zuo still greeted the black fish as usual, and invited him to have a light breakfast by the way, which was a normal conversation, but Xia Zuo had already noticed that Alan seemed to have been avoiding him a little since last night, maybe he thought of something, and the elf's eyes were slightly dark.

The breakfast seemed to be back to the way Alan and Xia Zuo had first met, but this time the awkwardness was two-way, and the atmosphere at the table eased a little as Salak joined.

Putting aside the discomfort, the three of them explained to each other the situation of last night, and after a comprehensive review, they felt that Flande was a little different from what they imagined.

The most important figure, the goblin Sesi, has not shown his face until now, but there are traces of him everywhere.

It seems necessary to probe the truth, and perhaps it would be a good idea to invite Ceci and the dwarf to meet in secret.

The civilian-to-arms trade has begun to operate normally, and other scattered groups can be integrated below.

Although there are many declining and bankrupt arms trafficking groups, they are not soft eggs who are willing to be slaughtered obediently due to their strong background.

Three outsiders who have no name at all, are easily excluded from the income of the family trade.

"I've been preparing for this for a long time." The pointed ears hooked the corners of the mouth, as if thinking of something, and the green eyes were smiling.

Salak tapped his cheek with his finger and thought for a moment, "I seem to remember who it is." ”

"That'...... So, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with me? Alan thought for a moment, as if ...... That's exactly what happened.

"No, it won't." Xia Zuo suddenly shouted, "There is also an arrangement for the dwarf father to meet with Cecy, if Secy is really the murderer, in order to hide the truth, he will definitely poison the dwarf again, Alan, you help me protect the dwarf father." Your words, surely. ”

Alan nodded, and said with a serious expression, "Don't worry, this task is entrusted to me, and I will bring back the complete dwarf father." ”

The elf's face remained unchanged, but the ears that were still tight and pointed up just now seemed to leak love.

Still very concerned, Xia Zuo squeezed the teacup and released it, just now it was a completely conditioned reflex that he didn't want Alan to leave, and now even he didn't understand what he thought.

And Salak on the side didn't say anything, the scene just now was in full view, and his black and dark eyes did not reveal a trace of affection.

Breakfast ended in this seemingly calm atmosphere, and the three of them got into a carriage with six little gnomes and headed for the center of the city.

The gnomes dressed in dwarven costumes and wearing straw hats did not attract any attention at all, and like many dwarves who like to forge weapons, the gnomes who went to the weapon shop in large numbers were no different, and seemed to be a little thin?

Because it is located in the center of the city, this store is extraordinarily large, divided into three floors, and it seems that it is still a branch.

Maybe it's because the goal of the strategy is confirmed, the system will no longer scramble to jump out of piles of men's information, and only if you take the initiative to know about it, there will be an evaluation.

This made Alan feel a lot more comfortable, perhaps...... Isn't it bad to determine the target of the raider?

"Boss" Sanzas seems to have been prepared: "Come here." ”

The pointed ears looked in a happy mood and took Alan and the others to the basement level.

Although the hood was removed, Sanzas recognized the blue-eyed youth behind him.

It turned out to be a mermaid.

"What's wrong?" Allen's eyes on others are more sensitive, and he immediately noticed the observation of the silver-haired young man.

Sanzas shook his head to say nothing, but his face turned slightly red.

It looks even better when you look closely.

"Introduction, this is Sanzas, the son of the old man, a very capable young man." Xia Zuo pulled Alan over, "By the way, my hair is dyed back, and the whole person looks much better." ”

Patting the still shy Sanzas on the shoulder, Natsuzo continued, "This is mine...... Companions, Alan, as you have seen a handsome Mr. Mermaid, and Salak, whom you have already met, and finally today's guests, Mr. Gnomes. ”

After getting to know each other, several people quickly got to the point.

"You take the distinguished dwarf gentlemen, and secretly buy these shops first." Shazo circled the map seven or eight times, looking at Sanzas.

"Backed by the famous weapon Tron Zào race?" Sanzas immediately guessed Xia Zuo's purpose.

"I didn't agree to help you make weapons." After this half-day of observation, the dwarf old man had already discovered that this pointy ear was not the long-eared benevolent creature he remembered, and his bad conduct made him ashamed, and he had no intention of hiding it.

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this, not only will it leave the shadow of a lie on others in the future, but if the matter of the dwarf reappearing penetrates Fullande's ears, wouldn't the situation of my people be very dangerous?!" The old man still had the illusion of straightening the pointed ear.

The people in the room were silent, save for the sound of Eren grinding against the hilt of his sword.

Although he felt that what the dwarf said seemed to be right, Alan was inexplicably unhappy, and wanted to say something to break the silence, but he was suddenly squeezed by Xia Zuo's hand.

Sighing helplessly, Xia Zuo looked quite resentful, "It's not unreasonable for Dad to think so, but since I do this, I must have my own solution, by the way, I said that I would protect the safety of the dwarf, and I will definitely fulfill my promise, why does Dad not believe me so much, and ......" Xia Zuo looked at the dwarf old man and smiled, which made several people present a little hairy.

"After Ah Jin ran out, even if there are rumors in the market that you have seen dwarfs, you don't seem to have anything to do." The elf narrowed his eyes, hiding the edge in his green eyes, "I remember that gnomes seem to be better at puppets than weapons, and I think there may not be one less gnome in the Dungeon of Frunde now, right?" ”

The dwarf old man's face turned red and white, white and red, turned his head, and said in a thick voice, "I won't tell you, hum." ”

The dwarfs' awkward expressions clearly explained a qiē, and the atmosphere gradually eased.

Alan let go of the hilt of the sword and clenched his fist, to be honest, when Xia Zuo touched him, he didn't think much about it, but it was almost instantaneous, "Let's haw ~ The target of the strategy took the initiative to make physical contact once, and got 5 points, and now he has accumulated 6 points, please continue to work hard~"

Blackfish let go of his hand, always feeling weird.

No more wasting time, several people quickly assigned the work.

The invitation letter to Ceci has been sent, and it is in the name of Thorn Gui's new agent, and the possibility of going to the appointment is very high, after all, in the business war between Thorn Gui and Fullande, Fullande may have received a much bigger blow than Thorn Gui, and he has no reason not to be good friends after changing the leader, plus last night's thief incident, the suspicious and stingy green skin has no reason not to suspect Thorn Gui, I am afraid that he also wants to hear the truth very much.

Salak and Sanzath make a low-key acquisition of the scattered weapons gang, while Shazo and Alan go to the appointment with the dwarf old man dressed as a dwarf.

Gnomes are a volatile factor, and whether or not they can be effective depends on the user and how they are used.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Soon, Flanderde responded, and he was able to go to the appointment in the afternoon.

Sanzas and the gnomes took them first, and Natsuzo began to prepare for the afternoon meeting.

Preparation can be a bit of a hassle, but it's just a bit of time for Alan to walk around.

When it was almost time, Alan and Xia Zuo took a few people to prepare to go to the agreed place, a café by the sea, and they were about half an hour early.

But just as he was about to leave, the little dwarf who had left before ran back, and although he was wearing a dwarf suit, Alan still recognized it, a young dwarf named Rin.

"You'd better not go yet." Rin was still gasping for breath.

"What's wrong, Sarac?" Xia Zuo frowned.

"They're entangled, I don't know, he asked me to bring you a story, goblin Secy is just a bait, Oak is the one who needs to be guarded against, hey, who's going to help me take this damn hammer off and strangle me."

Alan stepped forward to help, and asked a few more questions by the way, but did not get any useful information.

The chances of getting news from a little dwarf who doesn't know anything are slim.

"Are you still going?" Alan looked at Xia Zuo.

"Of course we go, and don't forget our original purpose." Xia Zuo looked a little annoyed.

"No way!" The old dwarf stepped forward, "That silver-haired boy took my people, now what if something happens to them, go to the silver-haired boy first." ”

"You're not going to see Sisi?" To be honest, Pointed Ears didn't want to argue with an old man. "And the black-haired young man who followed is very powerful, don't worry, those people don't dare to do anything, maybe they just don't want you to meet Seci?"

Alan took a sip irritably, pushed out part of the sword body, and looked coldly at the dwarf old man, "Can't go." ”

The smooth grinding sound of the blade and scabbard made the angry old dwarf quiet down suddenly, "Let's go, reluctantly, believe you, you're all right." The dwarf swallowed unconsciously.

After settling down, the three of them quickly rushed to the beach with some escorts.

On the road, even the carriage with wind magic still feels a little slow.

Xia Zuo increased his magic output again, and there was a faint ominous premonition in his heart, and when Oak's name was mentioned, the previous experience resurfaced in his mind.

The pointed ears had a strong premonition that they had to hurry to the café or ...... It's definitely going to be a hassle.

The atmosphere in the carriage was very solemn, and the old dwarf, who was chattering at first, was a little groggy at the moment, and it seemed that he couldn't stand it for the first time in the carriage.

"Xia Zuo, there's a problem in the carriage." Alan smelled a faint and strange smell, a bit like the smell of sweat on a person's body?

Pointy Ears suddenly stopped the magic assistance, stopped the carriage, and jumped down, "Come down with Daddy, quick!" ”

Almost as soon as Xia Zuo spoke, Alan jumped out of the carriage with the sleepy old gnome.

Seeing that something was wrong ahead, the carriage carrying the escort also stopped.

However, before a few people could run away, the two carriages ignited with golden flames and instantly turned to ashes.

The turquoise pupils shrank, and Xia Zuo looked at the two handfuls of ashes in disbelief.

"How could it be ......?"

"What are you thinking, get out of the way." Alan slammed into Xia Zuo at once, leaving rows of small black holes in the place where the two had just stayed, and a trace of white smoke came out of the small hole with a burning smell.

Faced with such an unexpected situation, Alan calmly drew his heavy sword.

"Do you know this strange weapon?" Alan asked in a low voice, and by the way, he changed the old dwarf who had passed out to his left hand.

Xia Zuo shook his head, his confused green eyes were clear, and he looked at the black fish who was waiting for him and smiled, "Their main target is me, you take the old dwarf to find Seci, maybe he can help." ”

The salty wind on the seashore blew away the scorching smell and ruffled the elf's blonde hair hanging behind him.

I don't know what's going on, but the blackfish, who has always had strong nerves, seems to see fragility in the elf's face.

"Can you do it alone?" Alan asked seriously.

"I don't know, I can resist for a long time." The elf quickly drew his twin swords and stabbed at the man in black who emerged from behind Allen. "Don't worry, I can still run if I can't win."

"You think you'll still be able to run away?" A delicate female voice suddenly interrupted the two of them.
