Chapter 11 Talking Business

Until more than 6 o'clock in the morning, the torrential rain was still falling.

When Sidlifa awoke, he saw Asker sitting by the window.

The cabinets that had blocked the windows had been removed, and rain continued to break through the gaps in the planks and linen. Asker moved a chair to the side, crossed his legs in the chair, and stared out motionless.

It's already morning!

Sidlifa felt some irrepressible regret. Originally, I was going to spend the night with the head of the regiment, but I actually fell asleep early last night, which was really unlucky.

She thumped the bed with some indignation.

Asker turned his head, and Sidlifa quickly smiled.

Then she saw standing water on the floor: "This is ......"

"It rained all night." Asker replied.

Sidlifa: ???

How can a rainstorm fall like this? Can even the third floor be flooded?

"Let's check out." Asker said.

"Oh." Sidlifa got out of bed and began to change clothes.

Changing to the previous Asker will probably make Sidlifa avoid it...... Or avoid it yourself. However, at this time, he just looked out intently, as if he was contemplating something.

Sidlifa, who had changed her clothes, stood up, tied her long white hair neatly behind her head, then put on her long knee-length boots, stepped a few feet in the puddles on the floor, and asked, "Let's go?" ”

"Let's go." Asker said.

When the two of them came to the corner of the stairs from the second floor to the first floor, they saw that the water in the hall on the first floor had reached waist height.

Behind the counter, the orc boss was lying on a small boat, looking out with some annoyance.

Obviously, if the torrential rain continues like this, his hotel business will really be ruined.

Seeing Asker and the others coming down the stairs, the orc boss hurriedly rowed the boat closer and asked:

"Are guests checking out?"

"Check out." Asker replied.

After paying for the house, the orc boss looked behind them and said in surprise:

"What about your wives? Got gone early? ”

There were eight people when I came, and there were only two people left when I checked out, which really made the boss feel strange. The streets outside are almost waist-watered, and you can't get out without a boat!

"Huh." Aske didn't answer his question, just smiled and said, "The water level outside is getting higher and higher, didn't that resident yesterday say that he could run to the mountain?" ”

"Right?" The orc boss scratched his head.

"It's a good idea." Asker nodded and said, "You can think about it." ”

Orc Boss: ???

Wait, didn't you say it's safer to take a boat than to climb a mountain?

As if to see what he was thinking, Asker added:

"This storm didn't happen naturally, understand?"

That's all he can say, and the other party may not believe it if he explains it, so after he finished speaking, he turned his head and said:

"Sidlifa?"

"Okay." Sidlifa nodded, and stepped into the water with her legs raised.

The moment the bottom of her boot touched the water, the ice spread from the soles of her feet to the surrounding area, quickly creating a layer of ice floe.

The orc boss's eyes widened slowly, and he was soon shocked to speechless: this white-haired human female was actually a shaman with special abilities!

(The "transcendent" among the orcs is called Shamman, shaman)

Then, Asker stepped onto the surface of the water as well.

In an instant, along with the orc boss's boat, the entire hall was frozen, and the ice stretched beyond the gate.

"This ice lasts about twenty minutes." Aske finally said, and left with Sidlifa.

The orc boss watched the two go out blankly, and after about half a minute, he suddenly reacted, hurriedly turned out the boat and stepped on the ice, and rushed to the warehouse behind to rescue the property.

Even the shaman persuaded him to run away, and if he didn't run away, did he think that he could cope with the flood better than these two shamans?

Let's go as soon as possible!

It's 6 a.m. and there are no pedestrians on the street outside...... Of course, judging from the environment of this flooded golden mountain, even if someone really gets up so early, it can only be sitting on a boat or soaking in the water, and it is absolutely impossible to pass by.

Walking alone on the ice road with the head of the regiment in the rainstorm, with the rippling blue waves on both sides, I can't help but make Sidlifa also have a subtle sweet feeling. Although I accidentally fell asleep last night, at least I woke up early today! Otherwise, a little later, everyone would have come out of Hearthfire Island.

Thinking like this, the white-haired girl couldn't help but quietly reach out and hold Asker's left hand.

Asker: ???

He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Sidley Law blinked, and said:

"Captain, it's slippery on the ice, and it's rainy. I'm afraid of falling, so you can pull me. ”

Asker: ..................

Really! Sidlifa perked up.

She was already clearly aware that the head of the regiment belonged to the type of hard-faced and soft-hearted. For example, if you want to rest your head on his shoulder, such an intimate gesture will definitely make him a little embarrassed, and it is easy to cause rejection.

However, as long as you find a lame excuse, such as "I'm a little sad, lend me a shoulder to lean on", then the regiment commander will most likely not refuse.

All in all, it is a side-kick tactic, and the reason of "not sticking" is "intimate sticking"! The reason is that the regimental commander will not use a malicious perspective to figure out his companions. As long as you give an excuse, even if it is very bad, he will tend to believe it or not to break it!

Sidlifa thought as her fingers ran lightly through Asker's fingers, clasping his palm.

Asker: !!

Hey, it's too much to interlock your fingers!

Just as he was about to say something, suddenly a voice sounded in front of him:

"You...... Are you the human mercenary from yesterday? ”

The two of them lowered their gaze and realized that it was the other Naga guard who had been guarding them yesterday. The lower half of the creature's body was soaked in water, and the upper half of his body was floating on the water, revealing a slender and well-proportioned body and elven-like pointed ears.

However, Naga has pale blue scales and gills near the base of her ears, which are very different from those of elves.

"You're transcendent." The Naga guard touched the ice beneath their feet and marveled at the fact that he had never seen a transcendent of the human race.

"Are your sacrificial lords back?" Asker asked suddenly.

"Uh......" The Naga guard froze there, as if he didn't know how to answer, only to hear Asker continue:

"Judging by your expression, I think you're back."

"Tell your priests, the Azure Sword Mercenary Group wants to talk to them...... If they don't want to sink in Sansa Sanssato. ”

Hearing the "Sinking of Heros' Port" in the back, the Naga guard's face changed significantly.

"How do you know......" It quickly lowered its voice, quickly scanned its surroundings to make sure that no one was there, and then immediately stared at Asker with fierce eyes.

Since the return of the Sacrifice Lords last night, all Naga guards have been explicitly forbidden to mention the relationship between this storm and the Leviathan. The few Naga guards occasionally mentioned the Leviathan when they chatted with the pirates, but all confirmed that they had not leaked any clues that the Leviathan would cause a storm.

In fact, now Sansheroísmo is still outside the storm, only affected by the aftermath of the wind on its edge, and has not even officially entered the scope of the storm.

As for the scale and intensity of the storm, it has far exceeded the effect of large-scale mutations, which is almost close to the power of "gods", and it is not something that ordinary Leviathan can set off...... Ordinary transcendents would not have known this.

Could it be that this guy is a telemagician?
