"Brother Weiyi, you're back~"
"Well, did Xiao Lin stay at home obediently?"
"No~"
“……”
After Palin temporarily settled in the Ejppen Special Operations Agency's stronghold, Wey forwarded the information she had obtained from the shadow broker to the Ranger Guild to search for her, but after a few days, the reply was "Nowhere found." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
This is very strange, as a mining town of a large scale, it is impossible for it to hide from the eyes of the Shushan Ranger who flies with Edgeworth, and such a major mining town will never be missed in the archives of the government.
Therefore, the captors increased their remuneration and elevated the task to a "long-term commission" that would not be revoked if it did not bear fruit - the increase was of course approved by the director.
So before finding that town or Palin herself wants to go home, the little girl can only stay in the stronghold, and Wei Yi originally thought that she would have to go to work on a regular basis and could only let her stay by herself and let Bing Flash accompany her, so little Palin became a supernumerary member of the special Underworld.
Palin's own strength is uncertain, but at least the ghosts in the underworld and the suburbs are not her opponents, and the only thing that restricts her is that her stamina doesn't seem to be very good and she can't go far, but this problem is no longer a problem after she has a good relationship with Ice Flash, so it often happens that after the Underworld Hunters have dealt with a long-distance commission, other short-range missions have been completed by Palin on Ice Flash.
"Hmm...... Xiao Lin is so well-behaved. Wei Yi touched his head and praised it, there was nothing to say, after all, with her help, everyone didn't have to run around non-stop, and they could go back to the base like this at noon to have lunch and rest.
"It just so happens that I received a nice thank you gift after completing the commission of the Underworld Branch of the Fishing Po Brigade today, so let's use it to cook a big meal for Palin." Leah walked over to the contact terminal, looked at the commission marked "Completed", chuckled and walked to the kitchen.
"Wow! Is it a big fish? Parin immediately followed: "Parin also wants to help~"
"Seriously, that aunt is really fighting, in order to come to the Styx Lake to fish, she actually managed to make herself out of her body, and she almost couldn't go back." Wey shrugged and walked over to the table and sat down.
"When she sent her back, she still shouted, 'I'll be back as soon as I can,' and her old sisters were begging her one by one to tell her not to come so early—wouldn't it be nice to find someone who has the right way to take her to play." Hong Ying pressed the corners of his forehead, as if he was being annoyed by those grandmothers.
"That old woman should be seriously ill when she goes back, but her lifespan will increase." Lu Yao blinked: "I can't come for the time being." ”
"- Wow! The big fish is flying~"
"They said it was called the Nether Butterflyfish, and I was weird—come down for me!"
From the kitchen came the sounds of Parin and Leah, the clashing of various kitchen utensils, and the fluffy transmission of the food imps.
Wei Yi and Hong Ying looked at each other, and finally decided not to join in the fun.
――――
"--You're going to have lunch?"
Nangong Qiao'er, who was wearing a pluto uniform, had just stepped into the stronghold of the Special Operations Agency, and smelled a slightly fishy but very fragrant smell, and then saw that the pluto hunters were sitting around a round table in the middle of the hall, and even Director Ren Kui, who was rarely seen in ordinary times, appeared.
"Oh, Nangong girl, you came just in time, add a pair of chopsticks to you, and try the craftsmanship of little Palin." Wei Yi beckoned to her.
"Parin did it?" Nangong Qiao'er walked over curiously, and saw a huge iron pot embedded in the middle of the table, and a pot of stewed fish in it was emitting the fragrance she had just asked, and there were more than a dozen golden pastries pasted on the edge of the pot, and there were several plates of refreshing side dishes around it.
"That's right, I just told her how to do it, and it was made very quickly." Leah said with honor, "Hmm...... The problem is that there's too much to do, so you're just in time. ”
"This big fish can split, and it's all real." Hong Ying laughed and sandwiched a cake: "It was originally a side dish, but it turned into a main dish." ”
"Hehe, you caught it in the Styx, right?" Nangong Qiao'er also took a pair of chopsticks and sat down: "The big fish there is easy to be targeted by the lord of the Styx, and it is useless for it to have wisdom to survive, so it has this ability to split, and ordinary anglers see it and throw it back directly - because it can't be eaten, and the number of splits is too much, there is almost no taste." ”
"Oh." Lu Yao had an expression of "long knowledge", because this kind of little knowledge spirit network was probably not available at all.
"Lucky for us, it only started to split in the kitchen after it was caught." Wei Yi got off his chopsticks, and then turned his head to look at the female guard: "You came over in time for dinner, there must be something urgent?" ”
"It's not in a hurry, it's probably similar to the last time I picked up the Star Pavilion, but there are no tourists in the place where the accident happened this time, and it has been blocked by the Hidden Guards, as long as the things inside are solved as soon as possible." Nangong Qiao'er stared at the pot and began to think about which piece to clip.
"Star Picking Pavilion...... You okay? Lea remembered the last time she had lost her mind and attacked Shiro.
"Well, I was scolded by my sister, we are obviously wolf demons, how can we be involved in the Qionghua War......" Nangong Qiao'er lowered her eyebrows, and sure enough, it was like a large dog drooping its ears: "The one who gave me the opportunity to see Xuanji's head arrest document was Yan Li, the former judge who had been locked up." ”
"Anyway, let's talk while eating, this big pot of fish will take a lot of time, and we will have to set off immediately after eating." Wei Yi said as he sandwiched the fish into the cake.
"To the north of the underworld, on the road to Burning Charcoal Mountain, there is an abandoned temple, and when we patrolled, we found that there seemed to be a special ghost there, and the situation was very similar to the Star Picking Pavilion, so we temporarily closed the road to ask for support, because it was not a tourist hotspot in the first place, so it was not an emergency." Nangong Qiao'er slowly picked up the thorns.
"Temple?" Ren Kui, who had been watching the juniors communicate, suddenly interjected: "People who believe in Buddhism will not come to the underworld, and naturally no one will build a temple here, if there may be a temple in the underworld, then its name should be ......"
"Lanruo Temple." Hong Ying and Wei Yi said in unison.
Bang, the chopsticks in Liya's hand fell on the table, she blinked, and picked them up casually: "Ahaha, this thunder is so loud, I'll go wash it." ”
The Immortal Hunter and the Guardians looked at her speechlessly.
…… Where is the thunder? Obviously in the underworld, and as a temple that is afraid of haunting? ……
