Chapter 18: Together

An arm reached out from the crowd and grabbed at the girl's bare skin.

Erica suddenly noticed that she was underestimating the other person, and although she was aware of it at the beginning, and even changed directions several times in a row along the way, the hand grasped her arm with unmistakable precision.

If it hadn't been for the last-minute discovery of that slender arm like a girl, Erica might have drawn her sword to fight back, despite the commotion.

"Hey, got it!"

Erica's familiar voice came from the crowd, and a head popped out.

"Hey! It turned out to be Master Pandora. ”

Subconsciously suppressing the desire to do something, Erica fixed her eyes and saw that it was the witch Pandora.

With a look of dissatisfaction on her face, Pandora struggled to squeeze out of the dense crowd, and then exhaled heavily.

"Since Master Pandora is here...... So, are those godkiller adults here too? ”

After seeing Pandora, Liliana, who seemed to realize something, looked left and right.

The dense crowd surged like waves, and if you want to find someone you know in the sea of people, you can only rely on luck.

After Liliana searched, she gave up with nothing.

Although they didn't find those deliveries, since Pandora was here, the godkillers must not have run away.

"Hello, Mistress Pandora."

Erica greeted Pandora with a smile on her face.

"We don't have much time to be apart, though. But how did you end up here...... Could it be that they were also attracted by the excitement? ”

After letting go of Erica's arm, Pandora showed joy at meeting her friend by chance, and she showed a big smile.

"Haha, how can I say it......"

Erica struggled for a moment and decided to tell the truth.

"We were invited."

"Invite? The two of you? ”

Pandora took a step back and looked Erica up and down, her eyes clearly not believing.

"Don't get me wrong. Those who are invited are our hosts, but we do come as part of the community we are invited. ”

After discovering the misunderstanding, Liliana quickly explained.

The "Halloween Queen" invited only Cangzhen, but as companions of the same community, they also came to prepare as representatives.

"It's enviable, participants, to be able to participate in such a game...... I said, "Can you count me as one?" ”

A lazy voice came from the three of them, and Liliana immediately turned away when she heard the sound, and sure enough, it was the person she had been looking for but had not found.

"Lord of the Sword, there are ...... The other kings are coming! ”

With a sweep of her eyes, Liliana was immediately startled.

"Unfortunately, no!"

Erica quite resolutely rejected Salbatre's request.

Tony pouted in boredom and turned his head to the side.

Originally, the request was just a joke, and of course he didn't expect the other party to agree to his request and let him join.

After all, if the organizers don't agree, even if they get permission from the cangzhen side, it is pointless.

If you want to join, take the "Solar Sovereignty" as a bet.

Unfortunately, Tony knows he's a pauper.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there is money in it, but that there are more or fewer gifts.

Except for the sword, Tony was useless, and he knew very well that he couldn't get any decent gifts, let alone gifts of the rank of "Sun Sovereign".

"I didn't expect that guy to have something like 'Sun Sovereignty' in his hand. It's incredible just to think about it, and it's an exaggeration to say that even the sun can be used as a bet on a game. ”

Hearing this, Erica and Liliana nodded in agreement, and they very much agreed with the black prince's opinion.

The existence of the Hakoniwa world is a complete miracle.

The gods and Buddhas of the heavens gather together, and the heroes who have left their deeds in history continue their legends here.

Compared to the box garden, the so-called god of disobedience is not the same thing.

"Come with me."

Seeing the Godslayers follow, Pandora grabbed Erica and Liliana's hands.

"Hey! Where are you going? ”

As Pandora dragged her away, Erica asked, struggling.

"Of course, it's a place to stay. The streets are not a good place to talk. I've been shopping for most of the day, so let's take a break now. ”

As a matter of course, Pandora dragged them into a hotel, despite Erica's objections. The godkillers who had just found them glanced at each other, and they all showed helpless colors, so they had to follow behind.

"It's an inn with hot springs, and I decided to stay here for the time being. Let's go to the bubble bar after a while. ”

After taking Erica and the others back to their hotel, Pandora was quite satisfied enough to introduce them to them.

“……”

She was met with silence from the two.

"Huh? What's the matter, isn't there anything you have to do about it? Even if it's the eldest lady, she should be content with it. It's not good to be too greedy! ”

Pandora, surprised by their reaction, muttered.

Liliana scratched her face with her index finger in embarrassment, looked away, and said with a wry smile, "This is our Castlevania property." We are very happy that you are so satisfied. ”

Pandora's eyes widened in an instant, and then from the place of her neck, the red tide rose all the way to her cheeks, and her whole little face became hot. actually boasted and flaunted in other people's industries, especially when he met acquaintances, he was so ashamed that he wanted to roll on the ground.

"Well~ Lily, don't make fun of our Miss Pandora."

Obviously with an undisguised smile on her face, Erica pretended to persuade.

Pandora's little mouth opened like an oxygen-starved fish, but she couldn't say anything. She covered her face, felt her cheeks burn as if she could fry an egg, and rushed back to her room with a broken cry.

“…… It seems to have been overplayed. ”

Seeing this situation, Erica suddenly felt like she was out of play.

"Definitely overplayed."

Hearing her words, Liliana instinctively mocked.

"Then let her calm down a bit. She's just too thin-skinned. ”

After speaking, Luo Hao glanced at Erica and went back to the room by himself.

"Rest and recuperate. I just walked around, and I saw a lot of interesting games. ”

Immediately afterward, Tony walked away with his sword, which he never left with him.

With these two people taking the lead, the other godkillers who were not good at opening the topic themselves chose to return to their rooms to rest. Only Alexander, the black prince who loves wine, and Anne, the king of Hades, did not return to the room, but went to the bar to have a drink.

As a result, Erica and Liliana were left alone.

However, the two were relieved by this.

Although the world they live in is different now, and the godkillers are no longer as high as before, the reverence for the godkillers that remains in their hearts when they grow up is still impressive.

They didn't want to be in the same room as the Godslayer if they didn't have to.

To put it bluntly, I just feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's all gone, so let's go to the hot springs for a while?"

Erica looks at Liliana and extends an invitation to her.

“…… There's nothing to do anyway, okay then. ”

Liliana thought about it for a moment and quickly agreed.

When the two of them came out of the hot spring, they found that Pandora had adjusted her mentality and was waiting for them in the hall.

Her face was very natural, and she didn't have the slightest shame before.

In the end, he is a human spirit who has lived for an unknown number of years, and his mentality is too good to say.

Thinking of this, Liliana couldn't help but wonder if she was pretending to be before.

Sitting down face to face, Erica and Liliana didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"Is the puzzle solved in that game?"

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be about to become awkward, Pandora used her brains to open the topic.

"I don't have a lot of clues about the puzzle yet. After all, it's a high-level game, and we don't know how far we can go with the abilities of those gods and Buddhas. ”

Hearing Pandora's question, Erica immediately showed a bitter face and replied ashamedly.

Although they have participated in many games held by the lower and even middle class communities, it is the first time that they have participated in the games of the upper gods and Buddhas.

"In that case, do you want me to give you some references? I don't dare to say I'm sure I'll be able to crack it, but I still have a lot of experience with the upper-level bounty game. ”

Pandora's reminder was like timely rain, which made Erica's eyes light up when they were confused, and it felt like a bright village.

Yes, although they don't have a lot of experience, don't they have a guy with a lot of experience in front of them?

It feels a bit embarrassing to ask for help from others, but the importance of the gift game is obviously much more important than their face.

"Then I'm bothering you."

Erica hurriedly handed the article she had copied from the contract document to Pandora, hoping to get some guidance from her.

After carefully reading the copied text, Pandora's brow furrowed.

Seeing this reaction, Erica suddenly didn't expect much from her interpretation.

Sure enough, Pandora shook her head and returned the article to Erica.

"There are too few clues. Sure enough, you still need to wait until the game starts, combined with the content of the game to interpret it. I'm sorry. ”

said big things, ashamed of other people's expectations.

Pandora bowed her head in shame.

"It's nothing, it's a matter of course that the game on the upper level is difficult."

Unspeakable disappointment welled up from the bottom of her heart, but Erica still comforted her with gentle words.

After all, people have the heart to help, although they can't help in the end, but in the end it is someone else's kindness. For the kindness from friends, you must know how to learn to be grateful, and others are not obligated to help you.
