Chapter 718: Do You Want to Fight Alone, or Do You Want to Fight in a Group?

So, at this moment, I felt a little bit of frustration that I had thrown myself into the net.

Back off...... Back off...... Turn around and leave......

"Cousin meow~~!!"

The sudden sound of danger behind me made me feel a thrill, and I turned my head stiffly, and the delicate and lovely Finney was holding the tray with both hands, and there seemed to be a pair of cat ears on her head that were constantly flapping to express her joy, looking at herself with great joy.

Although it's not something worth boasting about, but this pseudo-mother has also been cheated by me many times, and about one-tenth of the reason for her tragedy comes from me, is she not good at learning, knows who can say hello, who should be how far away to avoid?!

How so? It's like being kicked out by the owner, still staggering to his feet, shaking off the dust on his body, and then spitting out his well-behaved tongue and rubbing the owner's puppy again...... That's how it feels.

"Cousin...... Now you're going to go meow~~? Don't come in and sit and sit meow~~!! ”

Seeing that I was about to leave, the little pseudo-mother showed a disappointed look, lowered her head, and the pair of cat ears that seemed to have zài were depressed and soft, and the eyes that came from time to time seemed to be pouring out the meaning of "Aren't you here to visit me?"

“……”

Looking back, the slight guilt that came over me prevented me from saying anything cruel immediately, so I could only cough a few times to hide it.

"That...... I see it's full, and you know, I don't like places that are too noisy. ”

"Wow~~, it's true~~"-

With a suspicious-confused expression, she glanced back at the inside of the crowded bar, and Finney realized that she was also taken aback, and tilted her head slightly sleepily and echoed, that slightly natural cuteness had once again killed a large group of adventurers.

I said, as a barmaid, don't you know that the business of your bar is already very good? Hurry up and apologize to the entire bar owner in the Black Continent, bastard!!

"But at this time, probably every bar is like this~~, in a few days it will be the marriage of the alliance and the elves, and recently the people of Kurast seem to be constantly drilling out of the ground, and it has doubled more than meow~~!"

Finney sighed softly, a lot of people and good business are not entirely a good thing, it's easy to mess up, just like just now, as an adventurer, she is not short of money, so what she wants in her heart is just a favorite environment and not business.

But soon she picked herself up again, shook her index finger in front of me a little proudly, and said in a low voice.

"Finicle had already guessed that her cousin would come back to Curast in the past few days, so she ...... meow"

Knowing my identity, she can guess that I am definitely coming to Kurast recently, and there is nothing to praise for it, but it is still necessary to praise me for understanding that I don't want to reveal my identity and subconsciously lower my voice.

"So, this time, Finney specially prepared a great location for her cousin Finney's Vault~"

Saying that, this pseudo-girl straightened her chest with a very remarkable appearance, and made an obvious gesture of "thank me, praise me".

“……”

It seems that this time you can't leave, or if you come, you will be safe.

Apparently, though, some of the guys didn't want me to enjoy the peace, and there was no doubt that the bastards were Finney's personal guards, the dozens or hundreds of adventurers who occupied a large corner of the bar.

This guy actually asked Fini to take the initiative to talk?!

This bastard, Finney took the initiative to talk and looked like she wanted to avoid it?!

Yes? Cousin?!

(Dark Knowledge: Like the original closed ancient society, in the Dark Continent, cousins and cousins are a more dangerous relationship, and the two are often kissed by their parents, or they fall in love with each other for a long time.) ）

What the? Finney's Vault Location?!

I didn't say it, but it was as if the resentment of their condensed will and anger had formed a vivid font, which kept coming out of the eyes of hundreds of adventurers, and smashed straight at me.

Some of the older generation, the calm-minded adventurers, suddenly felt that the cousin of "Fini" seemed to have the impression that he had heard of it somewhere before, and exuded a very dangerous aura, and made meditative acts.

However, most adventurers do not have that calmness, or understanding.

In an instant, Fini had disappeared from my sight, replaced by a dozen or so risk-bears who surrounded me and Tia in the middle, like a mountain of muscles, completely isolating the outside world.

“……”

I didn't expect that I also enjoyed another version of the airdrop siege, should I be happy?

I sighed when I pulled the excited little girl Tia over and held each other in my arms.

I said, Tia, can't you settle down a little bit? I'll just do it, in case you also get involved and attract those mage guards outside, then the chaos will be big.

"Meow, meow~You can't meow~~, it's going to kill you~~, hurry up and leave meow~~"

From the outskirts of Roshan came the mournful sound of Fini.

"No, even if it's Finney's order today, we must take care of Finney, don't be deceived by some bastards, don't worry, we'll spare this guy's life, if he's not a liar!!"

An adventurer wiped the tears of tragedy from his face, and with a sobbed expression, he rejected Finney.

I said, it's too exaggerated, Finney just said a few words to me, is it really necessary to be sad to tears? Besides, a bastard is me, I'm right, bastard, didn't you notice that Finney's anxious tone just now wasn't worrying about me, but worrying about you?

"Ahh What, now you don't speak? I'm trembling with fear, wahahaha, how can someone like you be worthy of Finney, ah~~?!! ”

An adventurer leaned forward against his big, hideous face with a few scars on his cheeks, and snarled at himself like one of those little rascals with a colorful rooster head and earrings.

“……”

Recent...... The adventurers of the alliance started a fire, it seems that they have a tendency to be a little hooligan, it seems that they have to discuss with Akara to correct this unhealthy trend, how can the little hooligan get on the table? At least it has to be the kind of big brother of the underworld who suddenly pulls out a gun between talking and laughing.

I pinched my chin and began to think about what to do with Akara.

"You guy, look down on ...... Yes~~!! ”

Before he finished speaking, the adventurer let out a mournful scream, and was instantly squeezed down by the surge coming up from behind, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"Hmph, boy, are you interested in taking a gamble? The stakes are...... Your life! ”

The small assassin squeezed in first, and couldn't wait to assume a cold posture, his five fingers turning a few dice in his hand with dazzling speed like boneless noodles.

Conversations on the beach in the 80s? It's good, there's progress.

Then, this small, cold and ruthless assassin uncle was thrown out of the crowd by the impatient paladin strong man behind him, holding his collar and back.

"Akale, you bastard, I'm not done with you~~" In the sky obscured by the mountain of muscles, there was the tragic voice of the assassin uncle.

"This brother, this is your mistake, why did you come to see Finnie, your cousin, why did you cover your hat, cover it, and you are not doing something unseemly, don't you think you are insulting Finney?"

The paladin who just threw Uncle Assassin out and managed to occupy the throne...... Well, it's about a guy named Akale, and he looks like he's quite talkative, and at first glance I thought he was Acala's son.

is worthy of being a bright and upright paladin, different from others' focuses, and looks gentle and elegant, but his voice is still sharp, which has resonated with many people.

This...... It should be regarded as a literate gentleman and rogue, well, it seems that the adventurers of the alliance are still saved.

With a "whoosh", a thin mage, who really couldn't squeeze those muscular melee warriors, did not have the agility of the assassin who shuttled through the crowd like a swimming fish, stared outside for a while, and in a flash of inspiration, he teleported in directly and appeared next to Akale.

This guy just appeared, coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, and then calmly and loftyly said the lines that had been brewed in his heart: "And look, this guy came to see Finney, and he was still with a little beauty by his side, not a playboy or something, Finney must have been deceived by his rhetoric, and so was the girl next to him." ”

is worthy of being a wise mage, this sentence can be regarded as the finishing touch, these guys originally came around, just under the slogan of "am I an emotional liar", but now when the mage says this, is it not a universal response?

Sure enough, as soon as the mage's words fell, the crowd boiled.

"Sure enough, there was nothing wrong."

"Roar, kill him, kill him."

"I'm xxx never going to let Finney fall into his clutches."

"Little girl over there, don't be fooled, come over quickly, uncle protects you."

This sentence was said to Tia, who was half-leaning in my arms, with wide-open shining eyes, curiously looking at the scene in front of her.

“……”

This bunch of guys...... It's really getting more and more arrogant.

"Ahem~~"

With a cough, the crowd suddenly fell silent, and dozens of pairs of angry eyes glared at me, waiting for my last words.

"So, everybody......"

Gently touching-touching-touching-nose, I lifted my head slightly, just enough for my mouth to come out of the shadows, grinning and smiling.

"So, guys, do you want to fight alone, or do you want to fight in groups?"

If the atmosphere was quiet just now, it is dead silence now.

After a while, the adventurers began to look at me and I looked at you, and made eye contact.

Oh no, this guy doesn't seem to be joking.

The guy is very powerful, and he has no chance of winning if he goes head-on.

Nonsense, I also know this, and at a glance I know that it is not at the level of our Kurast.

How about it, it's not good to fight alone, do you want to fight in a group?

How can this work, are you still an adventurer? Even if you win, you can't hold your head up!!

Isn't it the same as losing heads-up?

Or a wheel war?

Let's not say that it's as humiliating as a group fight, and you're willing to be the first?

Bastard, I wanted to shock him first, but I was unexpectedly calm, this guy, there is no chance of winning, there is no chance of winning!!

Thoughts like these are constantly exchanging between adventurers.

There's no way, although it's a little embarrassing, but in order to protect Fini, you can only ......

After a moment, all the adventurers seemed to agree, gritted their teeth, and nodded to each other secretly.

Group Fight!!

Oops, it seems to have been discussed.

Seeing the constant exchange of eyes, once again gathered on myself, there was a more firmness, I couldn't help but lick - lick - lips, I don't know what it would be like to fight with adventurers compared to fighting with monsters?

"Little girl, you leave first, you kid has the guts, as you wish, go and fight ...... now"

Alal, who took the lead, took a deep breath and said this, not finished his words.

"Lake, don't!!"

"Allal, stop!!"

"Herac, you idiot!!"

In an instant, dozens of roars drowned out Aral's voice, and then several figures flew up in the air, knocking the adventurers who surrounded him to the ground one by one.

These dozens of figures rushed over were the ones who had just heard Finney call me cousin, and they were deep in thought.

"Captain, what are you doing here!!"

"Brother Charla, why are you stopping us!!"

"That's it, Boss Tieli, are so many of us still afraid of him."

Then, the downed adventurer struggled unwillingly.

"You fools, calm me down."

Although the number of people is a little smaller, the victory is based on the old qualifications and the advantage of strength, and for a while, the two sides are deadlocked.

"For Finney's sake, even if it's your order, I won't obey it this time."

The toppled adventurer makes a passionate declaration that makes people feel that "being young is good".

Me: "......"

Tia: "......"

"Fanfan, a member of your Adventurer Alliance, is really ...... It's interesting. ”

Tilting her head and thinking for a long time, Tia finally found a more suitable word to describe the rather comic scene in front of her.

"Makes you laugh."

I sighed weakly, although I don't hate these cute guys who play hooligans, but being stared at like this by other clans, my own elder has always been gloomy.

"Cousin, hurry up, hurry up and meow~~"

Taking advantage of the chaos, Finney tiptoed up, grabbed my sleeve and fled the scene.

"This is ......"

"Commonly known as the meow of the district~~!" The little pseudo-girl said proudly.

"I know this, too, what are you proud of?"

I didn't hesitate to break away from the other party's pull, and casually rewarded me with a spit knife.

Larger bars will set up many areas to deal with different types of customers, such as the current area, which is for customers who like to be quiet, although it is still full, but the people inside, even when communicating, are whispering, or simply using the unique techniques in the team, or brain waves and other strange things that I don't know, communicate with each other, so although it can't be said to be quiet, it is countless times better than the noisy outside area.

"Meow here~"

After taking us around the corner for a while, Finney stopped in front of a wooden wall, and once again - showed - a proud look that made me appreciate the spitting knife**.

"Isn't this a dead end, bastard?"

"Bang!"

"Meow~!"

"Cousin is still as sharp as ever, meow~~" Finney touched her forehead and screamed.

"Listen to me finish meow~"

As she spoke, she stepped forward and gently pushed against the wall, and a secret door immediately appeared inside.

"This is what you call the Hidden Land?" I asked, uncertainly, pointing to the gloomy entrance.

"What I said is very meow~~"

"Meow, your sister, meow, you want us to eat in such a shady place?!"

It's not good, I've been infected again, and when I look back, the little girl Tia has already smiled and bent over.

Damn, that's why I said I didn't want to have anything to do with this pseudo-girl, and this visit to her was definitely the most unsuccessful decision in my life.

"Go in and take a look, you'll know meow~~"

Finney was the first to enter the inside.

As a result, to our surprise, the interior was quite spacious, bright, and......

I can even see outside?!!

"Hmph, it's amazing~~"

Finney let out a smug laugh like a boss.

"No, it's nothing."

"Huh?!"

Finney looked over in surprise and saw that I wasn't deliberately pretending to be calm, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

Isn't it like a one-way glass-like effect? Although the Dark Continent doesn't have it, but in the original world, it's a bit difficult for me to pretend to be surprised.

But then again, this pseudo-mother really knows a lot of things, thanks to all kinds of strange knowledge that she learned when she was a wanderer? To be able to make this kind of magic effect is second to none in the Dark Continent.

Frustrated for a while, Finney quickly picked herself up and crept up to me, whispering in my ear with a mysterious look.

"Cousin, this is my secret base meow, even Oni doesn't know, don't tell her meow~~"

"No, I don't think I need to sue you anymore."

I stopped at the tragic emperor and pointed behind her.

Turning her head stiffly, Ou Na, who was full of black energy, maintained a formulaic smile of the maid, and bowed softly to me.

"Sorry to interrupt, I'll personally serve the food to the two adults later, please wait a moment."

Then, already at lightning speed, he grabbed Finney's collar as she tried to rush past her, and saluted politely again.

"So, please forgive us for taking a step back and not bothering the two masters."

Then, as we watched, dragged the struggling Finney by the collar and strode away.

Cousin, save me meow~~

Finney, who had been dragged away by Ona, turned around and gave me a distressed look.

Cousin, you go all the way.

Looking directly at Fini's pitiful gaze for help, I bowed solemnly and straight, and watched as Fini suddenly whined and shed sad tears, and then the figures of the two disappeared around the corner.
