Chapter 17: Spring Blooms Everywhere (4)

Beatis had never imagined that there was such an unknown place hidden under the bustling city.

"I thought it would be one kind of dark and damp basement with a lot of illegal items and transactions!"

It wasn't until Louisa settled the bill for the coachman and booked a room at the inn as usual that she realized that this was a world with similarities to the earth.

"I was also skeptical of my own guesses before I saw it with my own eyes, just... We don't know much about this place yet, and although we have a map, we have to be careful. ”

The target suddenly expanded from the basement to the dungeon, which made the process of secret exploration a little more difficult, but also a little more comfortable.

I wonder if there will be a sleeping dragon here? Isn't there often such a scene in novels, Bettes remembered the fantasy books she had read before, and couldn't help but get excited, but glanced at the working machinery outside the window, and dispelled this unrealistic idea.

Reverie time is over! It's time to get down to business.

Just as the two were struggling with where to start, unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door.

Outside the door stood an even more surprising person.

"Aoi?"

Aoi in front of her was wearing a light black uniform, a pair of improved boots on her feet, and her already dragonfly-like strides made Louisa completely unaware of her presence just now.

And the gray iron wings that she usually refused to take off were folded into her arms, and they looked completely repaired.

"Louisa."

Xiao Aoi, who retrieved her memory, although her tone became tough and cold, and the confusion in her eyes before was also firmly swept away, but when she faced Louisa, she showed a smile that was difficult to be noticed.

"Can I go in and talk?"

"Of course."

After Aoi entered the house, Bettes hurriedly left her chair to make way for her, but she just nodded lightly and didn't pay much attention.

"I'm sorry to say goodbye, but the battle that day gave me back my memory. After remembering what he had to do, he immediately set off on a mission, but he happened to see you just now, Louisa, this place is very dangerous, how did you find this? ”

"It just so happened."

Although Aoi and they have also gotten along day and night, the one who is close to her is the ignorant Aoi who has lost her memory.

The person in front of her has an unknown past, especially the suspicion of "a certain adult's subordinate", seeing that she has only been missing for a few days, but she can walk freely in the gold country when she reappears, which makes Louisa can't help but be a little more vigilant, and perfectly distinguish "Xiaokui" from "the person in front of her".

"Ugh."

Aoi was obviously a person who was not good at explaining, and she hesitated for a moment, but quickly spoke again.

"I've been a pirate for as long as I can remember."

A child who has just learned about the world should be living in a comfortable environment and being cared for by his parents.

But she wasn't, she didn't know where she came from, there was no one close to her here, no one would talk to her except for three meals that would be brought to her, no one would teach her the rules of the human world, so she groped for herself in the warehouse.

So her toys since she was a child were either muskets or machetes, and she was used to burning, killing and looting, and her character lacked many things that a normal person should have.

I thought this was her life, until the day they were destroyed.

She watched her companions die one after another in front of her eyes, but no matter how many people she killed, she couldn't save them all.

Eventually, she was brought to the man with a brand new name of her own.

Code name A9.

"By chance, we found a clue about the state of gold, and we found it here, it's hard to imagine that the gold here is like an inexhaustible supply, and it is still being mined until now, made into jewelry, weapons, and sold in the surface world, and most of the jewelry in the previous retro fashion was unprocessed underground gold."

"Do you know how this came about?"

Although Xiao Aoi didn't say it explicitly, she was naturally sharing information, and Louisa didn't let go of this opportunity to take out the golden moon coin glowing with red gold.

"I know that."

Xiao Kui looked at the golden moon coin and replied.

"You should know the relevant regulations of the canonical law on the moon coin, it is easy to find the hands and feet on the moon coin, and the color difference between the gold will also lead to the exposure of the dungeon, so the gold state is strictly forbidden to make gold moon coins, but in the past few years, a few stakeholders have made one without authorization, and although they have been punished after being discovered, the gold moon coin has been used."

I didn't expect this to be a one-of-a-kind limited model.

"So, what does your boss want you to do?"

Luisa wanted to tell if her boss was a businessman or some other organization based on Aoi's answer, but the answer she gave made her puzzled for a moment.

"My mission is to investigate the dragons that inhabit."

"Dragons?" Louisa held her chin with her fingers and frowned.

"Is it a dragon?!" Beatis patted the sides of the seat in surprise.

An inexhaustible source of gold, the scales of the sleeping dragon.

"We also sent someone to infiltrate the investigation before, and we got information that during the mining last year, a worker became a dragon's meal because of an accident, so the above sent me to sneak in, hoping to end the matter, but I didn't want to be chased by the enemy on the way, and I was carelessly hit hard, if it weren't for you, I might have starved to death on the street."

Aoi didn't look like she was lying, and her words weren't made up.

There is an incomplete record of the golden dragon in the Oriental Strange Chronicles, which mentions that the dragon's scales are originally bright things, but when they are removed, the scales will merge into the dragon's blood, causing the originally golden dragon scales to glow with a faint red light.

Unlike other regions, the dragon in the east is an auspicious symbol that can bring good news.

Outside of the East, dragons are described as a bad omen for a long time in the muddy swamp, and when summoners practice summoning, their mentors will only teach you how to deal with them.

Later, I began to compare and study whether this situation is a meaningless question of soil and water generation or acquired cultivation, and in general, it can only be read as a miscellaneous book to pass the time.

As for how she saw the Oriental Weirdness by chance, who is usually only keen on academics...

Thinking of this, she sneered disdainfully.

I really should be grateful for that memory, and thank her for the darkest and most painful time in her originally happy life.

Bettez, who was on the side, saw the third side of Louisa.

Anyway, after seeing that contemptuous smile that was not easy to detect, all the disobedience about her suddenly disappeared.

This kind of arrogance is the truest appearance that should appear in this person.
