Chapter 12: Encounters (2)
…
"Excuse me, but are you the Mr. Andy we're looking for?"
"Huh?" Andy glanced at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old eye-bothered youth, then turned his inquiring gaze to Mary.
"Ahh That's Captain Reese, and they were commissioned by me to find your adventure party, and before they could find you, you came back on your own. Seeing Andy look over, Mary immediately explained.
"Really? Thank you very much, but now that I'm back, I won't bother you. ”
"Hmph, I still save people, my hair hasn't grown, I can't even save myself, and I still want to save others. What can these noble lords do besides eating, drinking, and having fun..."
As soon as he entered, he confirmed the identities of these 'adventurers' from the beinsignia on their bodies. Although he has not dealt directly with the Bein family, but the noble lord, who doesn't know who~
Glancing at the adventurers lying on the ground, Andy pursed his lips in disdain, wishing they would disappear from sight immediately.
"Sorry, Mr. Andy, we didn't find you, but if it's convenient, please tell us what exactly you've been through in the mountains, and we can submit a mission record to the guild."
As if not seeing Andy's expression, Reece said his request sincerely. It can't be helped, who made the guild rule like this. If you ask someone to do something, just bear with it.
"Oh, I accidentally got lost in the mountains, and then I was found by a white-haired girl, and I found my way back." In order to get them out of the way quickly, Andy did not hesitate and quickly said a well-skewed confession, but the other party's reaction was a little strange.
"White-haired girls?" Reese seemed to grasp something in his heart, and then asked, "Is it a little girl wearing a white power suit, with silver hair, like a painting?" ”
"Hmm... Forehead... How do you know? Andy looked surprised, and suddenly felt that these young people didn't seem to be so annoying...
"Isn't it?"
"Yes! Great, can you tell me where that girl is? Reese's face was full of excitement, as if he had picked up a big ingot.
"Well, I do know where she went... But... Why are you looking for her? Do you know her? ”
Although Andy already has a guess, it is better to ask, after all, he is more or less Lilian's subordinate now, and if he exposes the traces of the little devil in a daze, he will also suffer.
Reece nodded and replied, "Hmm! She's my savior, do you see Kerry lying there? He stretched out his hand and pointed to Kerry, bathed in the glow of water magic, his brow furrowed slightly, as if he was enduring some pain, but it was also evident from the increasingly ruddy complexion that his injuries were improving.
"If it weren't for that girl, Kerry and I might have died, but she left in a hurry and didn't thank her properly..."Reese sighed, "So, if possible, I want to thank her in person." ”
"Oh... I see... In that case, I'll tell you; The girl is at Hank's Inn in town, and I don't know which room she is in..."
"It's okay, that's enough! Thank you so much! ”
"Hehe, little things, little things..."
Andy smiled strangely, looking at the young adventurers with sympathetic eyes, and for some reason, there was a hint of pleasure in his heart.
"Evil, evil..."
…
On the other side, Lillian and Luna, who have settled into Hank's Hotel.
"Miss, this is the change I found for you, please keep it." Lillian reached out and took it, tossing it into her purse.
"If you need anything, please let me know, and I will do my best to accommodate you." Seeing that Lilian had collected the money and was in good health, the middle-aged bald innkeeper smiled flatteringly.
"Well, I'm sorry for you." Lilian nodded gracefully and smiled.
"Haha, no trouble, no trouble, that... I'll go down first. The boss gave a not-so-standard salute and dragged his belly out of the room.
After the boss left, Lilian took out the storybook she had just bought on the side of the road and flipped through it with relish, although the cultural customs are very different from the earth, there are still many literary works like Dragon Quest.
"Lily, Lily, look outside, those two humans are pinching each other, ha, they're so savage."
"Lily, Lily, look, a bunch of humans in armor have come and taken those two guys away!"
"Lily, Lily, look, over there..."
"Whew-" "Bang! ”
"Woo meow ~ pain pain pain!" A pillow flew over, and the poor black cat was smashed off the windowsill with a cry of pain.
"Lily!! Why are you hitting! ”
"Hehe, I'm not hitting people, I'm talking cats." Lillian hangs a dead fish's eye and stares at Luna like garbage.
“……=。 =, Lily, I..."
"Shut up!" The cold light swept away, the cat exploded, and Lilian said with a straight face: "When I am doing business, stay quietly for me, and don't make strange noises!" ”
"Hmph, it's just reading a storybook... Hmm-" Luna, grumbling, seeing Lillian's cold eyes, immediately raised her paws, hugged her head, and tucked her head into the bed at the speed of light, revealing only her shivering pussy ass.
"Ahh
Lillian shook her head, looked helplessly at the strange black cat, tapped her fist on the head, and said softly: "This is indeed a storybook, at best a biography of a hero; However, art comes from life. From these stories, I can learn a lot of information: such as the mainstream thinking of human beings, the local life customs..."
Lily paused, her eyes lit up,
"The most important thing is that I can understand the power system of this world!"
That's right, unlike YY's novels, the storybook in her hand is basically a retouching of real people and real things, even if there are exaggerated places, it is also based on reality, so through this book, Lilian can roughly understand the power system of this world.
For example, in the book, there is a sword emperor named 'Thors', who single-handedly challenged the 10,000 troops of the Wari Empire to raid the north with a sword, although he finally ran out of fighting spirit and died with ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, but he also successfully prevented the Wari Empire's military operations in the north.
From this incident, we can know the combat effectiveness of the Sword Emperor, a level like a martial artist. Of course, there must be errors, but it's better than knowing nothing.
Based on this series of stories, Lilian also sorted out the power system of the Dahlak continent.
At present, it seems that these supernatural forces are roughly divided into three categories, namely magic, fighting spirit, and divine power.
Magic is mainly to use mental power to manipulate one's own magic power to attract the surrounding free magic energy and make it release powerful energy.
From bottom to top, it is divided into five levels: magic apprentice, magic messenger, magician, magician, magician and magic saint, and each level is divided into three sub-levels: junior high school and high school.
Dou Qi is to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body by absorbing free magic energy, and finally exert its effect through martial arts.
Similar to magic, there are also five levels of fighting spirit, namely: soldier, general, king, emperor, and saint.
And the divine power is not the same as the first two. This ability seems to be obtained directly from the so-called gods, and has nothing to do with personal efforts, as long as the faith is pious, and at the same time is willing to dedicate one's soul to the Lord, you can obtain divine power and become a divine warrior.
Since the divine power is obtained from the temple, its rank is directly linked to the position of the temple, which is: priest, bishop, archbishop, cardinal archbishop, pope, and pope.
Among them, the instructor to the Pope, the corresponding soldier level to the holy level, as for the Pope, Lilian is not too clear.
Comparing her own abilities, Lilian found that her strength was almost equivalent to the middle of the king-level, which could be regarded as a level of strength on the mainland.
But the level of magic is not easy to judge, if you judge according to the spiritual power and magic reserves, Lilian is definitely above the saint level; But Lilian doesn't know anything other than spells, so it's really hard to define.
“(⊙。 ⊙)..."Luna's eyes turned into beanie eyes, and she blinked blankly, staring blankly at her master, and didn't understand anything.
"Cut~ Play the piano to the cow!" Muttering unpleasantly, Lilian closed the book, took out the money bag, and walked towards the door, "Luna, let's go, go find a good restaurant and sacrifice to the Five Organs Temple." ”
"Meow~Let's eat~"
"I'm happy when I mention food, you gluttonous cat..."
…
Saying goodbye to Mary and Andy, Reece and his teammates arrive at Hank's Inn, and although Carry's injuries have been treated by the priest, he still needs a day or two of rest to fully recover.
Luckily, Mr. Andy also met the amazing girl, and they didn't have to worry about delaying their trip by taking care of their teammates.
But none of that is Reese's concern...
"Jingle Bell~"
"Welcome! Do you want to stay in a hotel or eat? ”
As soon as he opened the door of the inn, the guy in the store greeted him warmly.
"Staying in the hotel, five of us, living in a large suite, open for three days first." Casually scanning the hotel environment, Reese said to the guy with a smile.
"Okay, twenty silver coins in total."
"Here, you don't have to look for the excess, it's a tip for you." Reece pulled out a gold coin and placed it on the counter.
"Ah~You're so generous~" The guy immediately smiled happily and immediately put away the gold coins, "If you have anything, you can always come to me." ”
"Well, I do have something to know," Reese smiled, "I don't know if a silver-haired girl with a black cat has been here in your store for the past two days." ”
"Yes, I just moved in today, and I was personally received by the store manager, and that girl is beautiful and doesn't look like a real person... Huh? …”
Hearing Reese's question, the man's eyes lit up, and his face was full of longing and reminiscence. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he immediately turned his face and said in a suspicious tone:
"What do you want to do? I warn you, our boss is a relative of the mayor, don't try to make trouble in the store, give it to you, we don't welcome you in the store, take your money and leave quickly..."
The man's attitude changed too quickly, and before Reece and his party could react, they were rudely kicked out of the hotel by the man.
"Uh... Can anyone tell me what the situation is? ”
Reese's face was full of surprise, a little confused about the situation, obviously he had a good chat just now, how to say that he would change his face.
"Could it be... Is it because we mentioned the girl named 'Illya'? Alice touched her chin and said with some uncertainty, "That guy might think we're the ones who came to find 'Eliya' stubble..."
"Hmm... I think it's possible..."The injury, the pale-faced Carrey also agreed with Alice's statement.
"Oh well... What do we do now? The grizzled Reese scratched his head, a little overwhelmed.
“……”
Just as everyone's plan to find a benefactor was in trouble, the door of the hotel opened and a charming girl with a black cat on her head, silver hair, and a porcelain doll-like look walked out of the door.
"Little Miss, there are a few guys out there who don't look like good people who may want to trouble you, you'd better be small... Ah, these are the people! ”
The guy who drove Rees away just now also walked out, and when he saw that Reese and the five were still hovering in front of the store, he had an expression of 'sure enough' on his face, and then immediately gave the girl a finger, wanting to remind the girl to be careful of these dangerous guys.
But the silver-haired Lori didn't fight with Reese and the gang as the guy expected. Instead, she just raised her eyebrows, bent her eyes into two crescents, and smiled softly,
"Yo, it's a big brother~"
