Volume 2 The Night City Chapter 11 The Night Harbor

After winning the pet contest, Yujiali and Li Yaqi went to the restaurant that they had agreed with Miria and them in advance to discuss the future itinerary.

"Let's go to Konya tomorrow. I want to show her my prize. Li Yaqi said excitedly.

"Yes. It's almost time for us to go back. Is Night Harbor far from here? Eugari asked.

"It's okay. From here, it is less than half a day's journey to the east. "From there, we can take a boat to Treasure Bay and then return to Starlis by land." But I'd like to go to the Guild Alliance tomorrow morning to see if there's any news. ”

"That's good." "Then we'll go to the Guild Alliance tomorrow to have a look, and then take a stroll there, and buy some souvenirs or something by the way." Wait until you've had lunch before heading to the port, right? ”

"yes, okay." Miria happily agreed.

"I'm going shopping again." Brala said dissatisfied.

"Don't worry about that." After saying that, Miria said to Eucaria, "After eating in a while, let's go buy some clothes for Blala, and dress up." I went to a very unique clothing store in the morning, so let's go and have a look later. ”

"Okay!" Yugari nodded happily.

"Don't go......" Only Brala looked unhappy.

After a "pleasant" afternoon, early the next morning, Eugari and her sisters arrived at the Guild Alliance building in the middle of the Night City.

"What is Miria doing here?" Eugari asked.

"There's nothing special about it. Generally, some major events in the world or something will be the first time to release the news. It's been a few days since we left Stalis. I don't know if anything big is going on during this time, so I want to find out. Miria replied.

"That's it." Yugari said, "Then I'll take a look at the situation of our guild too." Then, let's see if there are any simple orders that we can easily accept, so that we can also alleviate the recent deficit crisis......"

"Then I'll go and sell the garbage I picked up on the road for some money......," Li Yaqi echoed.

So, everyone began to wander around the halls of the Guild Alliance.

"Here's the latest information on the guild." Yugari said as she flipped through the information, "I'll take a look at the information of our guild." Journey...... Journey...... Guilds, there they are, here. Yikes! It's already a one-star guild. ”

"What? Let me see. Miria hurried up.

"Sure enough, it's amazing. Did you know that only guilds that have successfully completed more than 100 commissions in the current year are eligible to apply for the one-star guild selection? Miria explained.

"There are so many commissions to be done. Looks like Shanna-sama and the others must have done a lot of commissions lately. Yugari sighed, "What about the standards of the second- and third-level guilds? Do you remember? ”

"Well...... Miria thought for a moment and said, "I remember the two-star guild, it seems that it requires at least five hundred commissions to be completed in the last two years. Three-star guilds...... It seems that in addition to the number of ordinary orders, it is also required that the advanced orders must be completed within the last year. ”

"Advanced delegation?" Eugari asked.

"It is a delegation that has not been cared for for a long time after it has been released, or has failed more than a certain limit, and these delegations have been screened and evaluated by the Guild Alliance, and may be defined as a high-level delegation. For missions that are defined as high-level commissions, the Guild Alliance will generally have additional rewards. "However, this kind of commission is usually very difficult and often protracted, and it is not uncommon for a senior commission to be done for a year or two. ”

"I see." "Then let's leave this alone for now, let's go see if there's any simple commission that we can easily do." ”

"No, no." At this time, Li Yaqi walked over, holding a few letters of entrustment in her hand, and said, "I just went over there and looked at all the nearby commissions, and basically nothing can be completed immediately." That's all there is a chance to do it, but it's not here. In short, to put it simply, there is no suitable commission. ”

After hearing this, Yujiali whispered with a disappointed face, "It seems that the deficit will continue for a while." ”

"Forget it. Don't think about that. After a while of strolling around the shopping street and having lunch, let's head to the port of the night. Maybe something good will happen there. Miria looked at the dejected Eugari and immediately comforted.

As the afterglow of the setting sun faded away, the dusk was gone, and the night gradually spread. To the east of the Night City, in the Night Harbor, one of the busiest port cities in the kingdom of adventurers, ships of all sizes still roam the docks, and horse-drawn carriages still run tirelessly in the middle of the road.

"I heard that the cyclops died? Kemorrah, what the hell is going on? A tall, thin man at the table, covered in bandages and unable to see clearly, asked suspiciously.

"That's true." Beside him, a man in a black robe, with a bald head, no beard, and a very old face, frowned and said, "When I returned to the laboratory, I found that he had broken out of the secret room on the cliff. I then checked the ruins around him, and there were signs that he must have died in the pool of corruption. ”

"Don't know who did it?" The man with his whole body covered in bandages asked.

"Although some signs of fighting were found around, no bodies were found. Will there be an adventurer who can put the dark cyclops to death and then walk away? Kemorra sighed and continued, "Fortunately, the president's experiment has been completed, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to explain it." I'll have to ask for your help again, Brother Teng. ”

"Forget it, the people who lent you last time are dead, and I don't want to get involved in your business anymore." The man covered in bandages said disdainfully, "However, the president seems to be in a particularly good mood lately, is it because the experiment was successful?" I've heard he's going to experiment with the Corrupt Dragons next? Then it looks like you're on an errand again. ”

"Why, are you envious? If you want, you can go there together. Kemorra said sarcastically.

"Forget it, if you want to die, you can go yourself, I don't want to die in vain." Tengbo replied.

"Talk ......," a man in a big red coat and only half of his long hair on the top of his head who was sitting on the other side of Tengbo interjected, "There are so many of us here today." Is there anything special? ”

"Just ask." After speaking, Kemorra shouted to the crowd at the table next to him who were raising their glasses and drinking, "Feng Hu! ”

"Yes, sir!" When a man who was drinking heard the shout, he immediately stood up and ran to Kemorra, "What do you command?" ”

"Why didn't you hurry up and prepare for going to Chiyan Mountain, why did you all come here to drink?" Kemorra asked dissatisfied.

"My lord, there is a big auction coming up in Treasure Bay recently. We plan to send a few brothers over to join in the fun, and if there is anything we need to bring back, why don't we all explain it here today, and tomorrow a few of them will leave for it. Besides, doesn't it take a long time to prepare for the matter of Chiyan Mountain? Rest assured, there will be no delay. ”

"Is this auction special?" Kemorrah asked, confused.

"I heard that the Sea Dragon Guild has brought back a lot of strange things from other continents. I don't know if there's anything valuable. Won't you go and see it, sir? Feng Hu continued.

"I don't have that much to spare. Don't delay going to Chiyan Mountain, or you won't be blamed for a long time, and be careful of your dog's life! Kemorrah said sternly.

"That's for sure. You can rest assured. After speaking, Feng Hu retreated.

"The Sea Dragon Guild seems to be very active recently, as a monopolistic ocean guild, does it need to be curbed?" Teng Bo said dissatisfied.

"I mentioned this to the president before. The president meant to let them go for now, anyway, they are mainly operating at sea, and there is not much threat to us at the moment, and when we finish our important matters first, it is not too late to clean them up. Kemorrah said calmly, "So, aren't you going to visit Treasure Bay?" ”

"Unfortunately, I happened to have a date with someone recently. What about you? Sky Thunder. Teng Bo asked, glancing at the man next to him with only half of his long hair.

"Maybe, haven't thought about it yet." Tianlei replied.

At this time, Yujali, Liyaqi, Miria, and Brala walked in from outside.

"Welcome, sit in four." A young waitress immediately greeted them and beckoned them to sit at a table for four.

They simply ordered some food. At this time, Li Yaqi lay listlessly on the dining table and complained: "I'm starving, I haven't eaten since noon." ”

"Then who do you blame?" Yujiali said indifferently, "Who let you slip away by yourself after you came out of the guild alliance, and you can only blame yourself for missing lunch." ”

"Because I'm not interested in shopping, I just went to the forest to the west to catch some pets, so I came back late." Li Yaqi said aggrievedly.

"Don't be in such a hurry. There will be opportunities in the future. Yujiali said to Li Yaqi, "I heard Miria say that it is the largest forest in the adventurer's kingdom, running through the middle of the entire kingdom, and there are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and beasts, and many unique guilds. We'll definitely check it out when we come back in the future. ”

"yes." Miria continued, "Not only that, but there are many strange legends related to the forest there. We'll definitely go in and find out later. ”

"Okay then." Li Yaqi nodded and continued, "Shall we go to Conya after eating in a while?" ”

"Yes, let's go to the beach in a moment. Maybe she's still fishing nearby. Yugari replied.

"These people are so noisy." Miria looked at the tables around her, drunken babbling gibberish, talkers grumbling.

"That's right. However, this is already the best restaurant in this port. It's still so noisy. Yujiali replied helplessly.

"What does it smell like?" Li Yaqi asked.

Only then did everyone notice that the restaurant was smoky at this time, and the surrounding air was filled with thick smoke. Miria hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief to cover her nose. Yugari stood up and said sharply to a nearby man who was swallowing clouds and spitting fog, "Sir, smoking is not allowed here, can you please put out the smoke immediately?" ”

"What?" The man shook his body and stood up drunk, and shouted to Yugari, "What did you say?!" ”

At this time, the guests in the restaurant immediately quieted down, and looked at Yujiali and them without saying a word, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"I mean, please put out the smoke!" Yugari repeated again solemnly.

"How old are you?!" As he spoke, the man reached out to grab Eugari's collar.

Yugari flashed sideways, grabbed the man's outstretched arm, and threw it out hard.

"She doesn't seem to be in a good mood lately, right?" Miria whispered to Li Yaqi.

"I'll just say it's not convenient lately." Li Yaqi muttered quietly.

"What did you say?" Because the voice was too quiet, Miria didn't hear it clearly.

"It's nothing, I mean, maybe the deficit crisis has been more serious recently, so I'm upset." Li Yaqi hurriedly explained.

"That's right."

By this time, the man who had been thrown out had already climbed up. He cursed as he lunged at Yugari.

Yugari calmly flashed his impact, kicked it away, and the man staggered forward a few steps, and fell to the ground, his head planted right in the paper basket in front of him, looking very embarrassed. caused the surrounding people to burst into laughter.

"Captain, you can't even beat a little girl, hahaha."

"It's too embarrassing, how will I mix it up in the future."

As the drunken ridicule of the people around him continued to ring in his ears, the man finally became angry. He hurriedly got up, then pulled out a dagger, and his whole body instantly glowed with blood-red light.

Yugari knew this move well, and she immediately summoned her staff, set up the barrier, and turned around the moment the man disappeared and swept it behind her back.

With a crisp thud, the man's dagger struck the barrier, and he was slammed out of the staff. His body smashed right on the dining table in Kemorrah, and the table was immediately knocked to the ground, and the wine and food on it were spilled all over the floor, and the knives, forks, bowls and chopsticks were scattered in a mess.

Seeing this, the three of Kemorrah immediately stood up and glared at Yujari in anger.

The originally noisy restaurant was as silent as death, and the guests at the other tables all looked silently at this scene, and their own rapid heartbeats seemed to be heard in the air.

At this moment, the man staggered to his feet again, raised his dagger, and prepared to charge at Yugari again. Suddenly, Kemorrah next to him grabbed him and scolded him sharply: "Waste! Haven't you seen it yet?! None of her own skills can break her shield, so what are the chances? Can't even understand such a big gap?! ”

The man was red-eared when he heard this, and he was extremely unwilling, and he was about to step forward to refute a few words.

"Don't get out of here!" Before the man could speak, Kemorrah shouted at him.

Although extremely reluctant, in the end the man suppressed his anger and retreated.

Yujali stood there and confronted the three of them for a while. Finally, Tianlei broke the silence and said, "Forget it. At this point in time, it's better not to cause trouble. ”

Kemorra thought for a moment and nodded reluctantly. So, the three of them walked out in a rage. Then the others dispersed with them.

When they came out of the restaurant after dinner, it was already pitch black outside.

"Let's go to the beach." Miria hopes to take this opportunity to put Yujari at ease.

"Okay, let's see if we can find Konya." Eugari replied.

Although it was late at this time, the port was still tirelessly busy at night, with the bustling dock workers carrying goods diligently, and the large and small ships rushing back and forth from north to south, as if they did not stop their busy footsteps because of the fall of night.

"I don't think she'll be fishing in such a busy place." Li Yaqi said, "Why don't we go separately and find it?" ”

"That's fine." With that, Miria pulled Yugari and continued, "That's it. I'm in a group with Jiali, you can go over there and look for it. ”

"No problem." Li Yaqi replied briskly.

So, Eucaly and Miria slowly walk north along the beach, while Liya Qi and Brala go in opposite directions to find Konya.

After leaving the hustle and bustle of the pier and walking some distance, the beach immediately returned to its former tranquility and gradually immersed itself in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. In the distance, the sea and sky are colorful, floating and golden, and in the near distance, the silver sand is fine and soft, and the footprints are repeated.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Miria asked, feigning nonchalance.

"Huh?" Suddenly Miria was a little surprised by this question, and said in a low voice, "Actually, it's nothing. ”

"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Miria pouted.

Yugari lowered her head and was silent for a while, and the two of them walked a few steps without saying a word. Suddenly, Yugari whispered, "I actually...... I was born in a very remote village and had no relatives. The village is also very isolated, with little to no people. Every night, you're harassed by the monsters around you, so you're unconsciously scared at night. Although he lived with Yaqi and the others in Harmonia Castle for a long time, although it was rare, sometimes at night, he would unconsciously feel down...... It's much better, though......"

"That's right." Miria said with some comfort, "But I think you're very good." To be honest, I haven't seen anyone in my age group who can outperform me. I was surprised that you were able to hold back Kaythorne. Also, when you were in the valley, how did you do your ability to fly the eaves and walk the wall? Additional skills? ”。

"Well...... said Eugari, gesturing to the orange headband on her head, "because of it." This was made to me by Sister Ella when I came out of the castle of Harmonia, and it is said to give people the ability to control the wind. ”

"So powerful?!" Miria said in surprise.

"But I basically don't have much mastery, and now I can only make myself move a little lighter, and I'm still far from the actual operating airflow." "By the way, I see you've been in a good mood lately, much better than when you first came out of Starlis, is there anything good?" With that, Eugari stepped forward and grabbed Miria's arm.

"No...... Miria replied embarrassedly, "it's just that I rarely had the opportunity to go out and play like this before, especially at the beach, so I feel ...... It's fine. ”

"And where did you go before?" Eugari asked.

"Basically, I studied and lived in some big cities. You also know that Quelstan is a landlocked country, and there are no big rivers passing through it, so you can rarely see the sea. ”

"Well, hopefully peace will be restored there soon. I also hope that one day mankind will stay away from war, how wonderful. Yugari sighed.

"Impossible. The history of mankind is inherently a history of war. Miria retorted, "Still, if it's just a few decades of peace, I think it's still achievable." ”

"That's not bad." Yugari said with a smile.

"When the time comes, I'll take you to my house to have a look."

"Well, I'm looking forward to it." Yugari said happily, and then she changed her words and said, "However, let's send the guests away first." With that, she took Miria and turned around.

At this time, in the night not far in front of them, four men of moderate stature and holding various weapons slowly walked over.

Miria immediately summoned her long-handled scythe and asked in a low voice to Eugari, "Who are these people?" ”

"Eighty percent of them are the minions in the restaurant just now." Eugari also took out her staff at this time and said to Miria.

At this time, the four men on the opposite side also raised their weapons and set up in formation, ready to attack at any time.

"Let me do it. I'll leave the support to you. Without waiting for Yugari's reply, Miria grabbed her long-handled scythe and rushed forward with all her might.

At this time, in the bright moonlight, on the silver beach, Milia, dressed in a white dress, danced like a white butterfly among four black figures. Swords and swords, frost and flames, complement each other. It didn't take long for the four men to be knocked to the ground.

Miria put away her weapon, dusted off the fine sand on her body, walked over to Yujiali, and said, "Go back and see how Li Yaqi and their side are doing." ”

"Well, let's go." With that, Eugari and Miria held hands as if nothing had happened, and walked leisurely in the direction of the docks.
