Chapter 1018 Chance Contact

"Let's get down to business, Brother Glio, can you tell me about the situation on this side of the Demon Fortress?"

Because the only jar of wine was given to the old drunkard, Glio replaced us with a cup of tea, but fortunately, I glanced at the maid who was sitting next to me, and thought from the bottom of my heart.

Otherwise, this guy will become the scourge of the demon fortress one step ahead of the old drunkard.

"So far, our warriors have recovered three hundred and twenty-five crystal shards, and some things have happened in the meantime, one adventure team has only returned two of the six due to negligence......"

"Oh?"

Frowning brows, this is not a trivial matter, the adventurers who arrived at the Second World Demon Fortress were almost all able to stand out from the ten adventurers, even if they did not take into account the hard work of the alliance for this, and the emotional factors, it was equivalent to the loss of forty adventurers purely from a mathematical aspect.

"Old drunkard, are you lazy?"

"That's not it."

Obviously he was threatened just now, but Glio spoke for the other party instead.

"Elder Kasha has done her best, almost one-third of these three hundred and twenty-five crystal fragments were recovered by her, no matter what, there are so many adventurers in the Demon Fortress, even if Elder Kasha has three heads and six arms, it is impossible for Elder Kasha to take care of them all."

"That's right, it looks like the guy is to blame this time."

Reflect on your own prejudices, however, if you want to apologize for this, it is impossible, after all, it is not that the old drunkard usually gives people such an image, which leads to misunderstanding, and the motive of this effort is also very impure, just for the 5,000 gold coins that Akara rewarded.

Speaking of the old fox of Akara is too insidious, doing so is not as simple as killing two birds with one stone, first, it can calm the anger of those bar owners who have been owed money by the old drunkard, second, it can make the old drunkard who can usually be lazy and lazy do his best in the process of the mission, and third, it can also prevent the old drunkard from having free time to make waves in the camp, there are so many I can think of, the old fox knows too well about the old drunkard.

"Is there anything else going on?" Coming back to my senses, I continued to ask.

"Well, maybe it happened."

Glio said vaguely, he had to be unsure of what Cheng dù to be able to use the seven guessing words "maybe maybe maybe it may not have happened" in one breath to describe the five-word "may have happened".

"I mean, Elder Kasha's side may have encountered something more troublesome, but her strength is too strong, and any trouble can be easily solved in her hands, and every time she comes back, she just easily throws the collected crystal fragments to me."

Faced with doubts, Glio explained quite innocently.

That's no wonder Glio.

"Didn't that guy vent his bitterness and take the opportunity to ask for credit?"

For a full understanding of the old drunkard's character, I asked more.

"Well, no, but I just seemed to mumble something to myself - anyway, it doesn't do any good to talk to a guy like you, so forget it."

“……”

Sure enough, it's the poisonous tongue style of an old drunkard.

"All in all, it can be clearly felt now that the crystal fragment outbreak incident on this side of the Demon Fortress is gradually subsiding, although it may be rude to Elder Fan to say this, even if Elder Fan does not come, in another ten days and a half months, it is estimated that the task here can be completed."

Gliohaha's laughter came out, and without the old drunkard by his side, he seemed to be from a melancholy young man...... No, it's a melancholy uncle who has become a sunny and cheerful uncle, and only the attribute of uncle hasn't changed at all.

"I see, if I knew it earlier, I would have come back later."

Listening to Glio's words, I was quite frustrated, the reason why I came early, in addition to being difficult to be a man at both ends of Curlaste, was also worried that the old drunkard would neglect his duties here, leaving a large number of hands and tails for me to clean up by myself, but I didn't expect Akara to play a small trick and easily mobilize the old drunkard's combat power.

Forget it, anyway, the task on the side of the Demon Fortress is almost the downhill line after **, it shouldn't take too much time, it should be ...... bar.

After chatting for a while with Glio, and getting a rough idea of what he knew from him, we got up and took our leave.

Although the general information has been obtained, the more detailed information cannot be obtained from Glio, in the final analysis, because the uncle is not very enthusiastic about the task of the person in charge, but prefers the blacksmith work at hand.

There is also a very necessary reason for him to be the person in charge, similar to the situation on the side of Curast, the combat power system on the side of the Demon Fortress is mainly composed of the adventurers of the Alliance and the warriors of the Dwarf Clan, and because of Glio's blacksmith status, the relationship with the Adventurer Alliance side, or the Dwarf Clan's side is very harmonious, sometimes there is any friction between the two clans, Glio can still play a key role, as for other issues, the people on the side of the Demon Fortress are fierce, and they don't like others to meddle in their own affairs, even if you send a shrewd and capable person in charge, you may not be able to manage it well, so it has become like this.

Walking on the road, the iron-blooded wind on the side of the demon fortress made us see it all, even ordinary civilians, most of them will have a sharp and heavy sword on their backs, those children who are only more than ten years old, or even less than ten years old, holding scimitars commensurate with their size, playing with each other on the side of the road, it is not a fake made of plastic, just look at the scars on the new and old children's bodies.

Although I was not surprised, it was the first time that Jeluka had come to a city where the belligerent winds were so strong, and she seemed quite curious along the way, which was the opposite of the elves who pursued freedom and art.

"Be careful, you idiot."

"Bang", the dignified pseudo-realm-level master, actually collided with someone else on the road, naturally needless to say, it was the other party who flew out, you have to think about it, even if it is a barbarian warrior from Kurast, this seemingly delicate and frail, but in fact extremely strong maid can still easily crash and fly.

Luckily, Jeluka is looking around, and the speed can be described as a snail, and the other party's movements don't seem to be very fast, otherwise, maybe we just came out of Glio, and he would have invited us back to tea and chat.

"Are you alright?"

Glaring at Jeluka speechlessly, I took a few steps forward, crouched down, and lifted up the child who had fallen on the road on his back.

Skinny little kids.

Following the strength of standing up, after helping me up, I secretly said in my heart.

Dry gray hair, no, gray may be dust and dirt, after all, in the Demon Fortress, most civilians work mainly mining.

The face is also dirty, and when it comes to Cheng Dù, who can't tell whether it's a boy or a girl, the long hair of the shawl is likely to be too lazy to trim, this kind of thing is very common, and it is impossible to judge the gender of the other party based on this.

The body is very thin, grasping the other party's wrist, only the obvious bulging bones can be felt, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as skinny and skinny, small size, slightly bowed head, compared with the other children who are playing in the street, it looks very inconspicuous.

From this thin figure, there is no specific age at all, it may be six or seven years old that matches the body, but it may also be twelve or thirteen years old who is malnourished, in short, it is a child.

"I didn't ...... It's okay. ”

The childish voice, which was very different from the dirty and no better than the beggar's, with a thirsty maturity and a nine-point crisp and pure, surprised me a little.

Judging by the instinct of the god of songs, if you want to cultivate this guy a little, maybe he will be a great singer in the future, of course, it's just maybe, the voice change period is a very strange setting, and the childish voice that was obviously sweet and crisp when I was a child became an uncle's voice ten years later, such a sad thing has happened around everyone.

"I'm sorry, my companion on this side accidentally bumped you, is it really okay?"

I subconsciously reached out and wanted to help him (her?) Shoot off the dust that has just fallen to the ground, although even if you do, it won't be much cleaner.

"Really...... Really, I ...... I'm fine."

A more affirmative childish voice sounded, and at the same time timidly took a step back and rejected my movements.

"Really, don't bear it, this aunt is a very powerful adventurer, and it's not fun to be bumped into by her."

Ah, I feel it, the sinister gaze cast by the yellow maid from behind, I don't know which paragraph in the words I mind, in short, I glared at me maliciously in the back.

"Well, that's it, okay, if there's anything, just go to Uncle Glio and tell him to find Wu Fan, does Uncle Glio know?"

The child nodded wordlessly, no matter what, Glio is also the head of the Demon Fortress, and a famous blacksmith, it should be impossible for the people here not to know him.

"Then let's go first, and you have to be careful not to be bumped into by other reckless adventurers." After saying this, the dissatisfied eyes of the maid of Huang Duanzi came over again.

At the same time, I was in him (her?) In that small palm, he secretly stuffed a few gold coins, took a step around, and strode away with Jeluka.

"Stingy."

Seeing that I only stuffed a few gold coins as compensation, Jieluka looked for fault in dissatisfaction.

"That's not for me to pick on the door, in a place like the Demon Fortress, giving too much gold is not necessarily a good thing, unless that kid has an inventory, or I'm with me to protect it all the time."

Rolling my eyes, I don't believe that Jeluka, who has such a broken judgment ability, can't think of this problem, is it really so unsophisticated?

"Lolicon."

After a pause, the unwilling Huang Duanzi maid is now learning and selling, and uses the new words that she has just learned from me.

"Okay, what exactly do you want me to do?"

I hung my shoulders speechlessly, and gave less money to say that I was stingy, and I knew that it was for the sake of the other party and then became Lolicon, besides, it was not clear whether the child was a man or a woman.

"I'm just an aunt anyway, and I'm a reckless aunt." With a slight hum, the stingy maid curled her lips and muttered cutely.

It turned out that I was minding this......

"Judging by the age of the elves, I'm just not much older than her."

"Yes, yes, I see, Lord Lori Geluka."

As a result, because of this sentence, I was glared at by her again, what did she want me to say, stupid.

After saying goodbye to the little episodes on the road, we arrived at the largest bar in the neighborhood, and as soon as we stepped inside, the noise of tinclicated eardrums was heard.

Jeruka frowned slightly, as long as it was a normal elf, I am afraid that she would not have a good impression of this kind of scene.

Of course, what attracted my attention even more was the noisy center, on a rather large table, the two figures who seemed to be dancing like a group of demons.

Standing high on the table, holding a wine jar in one hand, dancing with his hands while drinking is the figure of an old drunkard, and the one who goes crazy with her is an unknown dwarf, and from the pig's liver face and the red and honest rosacea nose revealed from the full beard, it seems that he has been drunk.

The huge table became a stage for the two of them, and they were drunk on it, performing a reverse tutorial on how to practice the Demon Flurry, and if the two of them were dragged out into the wild, it would not be unusual for them to be attacked as monsters.

The large number of adventurers around the table is the main source of noise, and as for the expressions of the waiters and maids on the periphery who want to cry without tears, and want to stop but dare not stop it, I can't bear to look at it.

Finding a slightly quieter corner, I decisively ordered a glass of pure juice for Jeluka, and specifically told the barmaid that even if she was not careful, she must never add the slightest alcohol to it, otherwise I would not care if the bar was demolished.

I don't know what Jeluka was thinking when she listened to it, and probably knew that she couldn't drink herself, and if she did, she would make trouble, so even if she puffed out her face angrily, she didn't say anything, and from this point of view, she was still a hundred times more self-aware than Sister Sharna.

"You sit here, I'll go back."

Knowing that Jeruka didn't like that atmosphere, I told her to stay put, and then looked around for a target with a glass in hand, and in a few moments, I locked on two of the dwarves.

"Fill these two dwarven brothers with the strongest and best pure ale."

I snapped my fingers at the waiter next to me, and I sat across from them at the same table, and probably the words "best and strongest" came into play, and the two dwarves, who were burping and knew at first glance to be drunkards, squinted and nodded at me.

"What the hell is going on over there? So noisy. After a little familiarization, I began to pretend to be nonchalant and asked.

"Brother Wu, this is your mistake, you are still wearing a cloak and hat at this time."

Dwarven Warrior A said in a gruff voice.

Yes...... Completely forgot about it.

At such a time, wearing a cloak and hat, hiding his head and tail, it is indeed very rude behavior for the person being accosted.

I took off my cloak and hat and smiled apologetically at the two of them.

"What, I guess it's because of what reason I want to cover it up, it's too ugly or too handsome, it turns out it's not." Dwarven Warrior A muttered.

"It's just, what is there to hide in such a passerby's face." Dwarven Warrior B chimed in.

“……”

This...... These two bastards, obviously they are, and their names are just passers-by who use the names A and B very casually, what qualifications do they have to say about me

The dwarf's intestines go to the end, and the rough and straight character of saying whatever comes to mind is really not likable at all.

"Over there, you're asking the right people, those guys, they're holding a celebration party."

"Celebration feast?" My eyes widened, confused.

"Well, it's a celebration feast, do you see that guy on the table? yes, the burgundy-haired one, the one who's much taller than the other bastard shorty. ”

"Well, I saw it."

Not only did I see it, but I knew exactly what kind of character and bad water was hidden in that guy's bones.

By the way, even if the two of you have something to do with the other dwarf at the table, I don't think you're in any position to laugh at each other with the word "dwarf".

"I heard that it is an elder from the alliance, he is very active during this time, and his strength is super strong, and the incident of the outbreak of crystal fragments during this time, you should know about it."

Dwarven warrior B was probably unwilling to be robbed of all the scenes, so he hurriedly replied - is it easy for us to play a show.

Seeing me nodding, Dwarf Warrior A hurriedly spoke.

"The accident of the crystal fragment outbreak is very large, maybe when you will encounter a large group of demonized monsters, or a powerful monster in the third world, in the past half a month, you can make a mess of the demon fortress, but thanks to the blessing of this alliance elder, there are not too many casualties, I heard that there are many of our dwarf warrior brothers, all of whom have been rescued by her, very set."

"Oh, I see."

I sighed a little incredulously, it seems that if the old drunkard is serious, his ability is so strong that people have to admire, at least if it were me, it would be absolutely impossible to do better than her.

"So, see? Most of the alliance adventurers and dwarven warriors around her were people who had received the help of that alliance elder, and they heard that she had completed her mission and that someone else had come back to take over, so they held such a celebration banquet. ”

“……”

In fact, I think, at least at this moment, in the eyes of the old drunkard, those who have accepted her favor have become a jar of moving wine, yes, in the eyes of this guy, most people can be divided into two categories - those who can rub wine and those who cannot......

The leisurely two-day weekend has passed again, and recently, Xiao Qi is very envious of those guys who can spend winter and summer vacations......
