Chapter 20: Nobuno's Female Classmate
"Good job, young man. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Demon Haggis floated in front of the letter tree, and the objects hanging from it collided with each other and jingled bells.
"If there is a suitable task, leave it to me." It's really difficult to go head-to-head with the LV75 boss, and Nobuki tries to ask if there are any other hidden quests.
Demon Haggis let out a low sneer, shook his body and said, "Tsk, adventurers in the Outlands are really greedy, but greed is also a kind of power, and no one can underestimate this power. ”
Outlanders are the name given to players by the aborigines, and it is difficult to understand that the appearance of players is always said by the aborigines.
"I have a ring here, and I need you to help me taste it." Shinki looked at the intricate symbols on Haggis's tattered robes, and felt a little familiar, and suddenly remembered the words engraved on the Withered Ring that he had obtained from the Abandoned Garden. The two places are not far apart, and the barbarian Thor has said that it is the demons who attack his people and the Lost Garden.
Demon Haggis waved his withered hand, and the Blighted Ring levitated from the Tree of Letters, emitting a faint purple glow and a soft roar.
"The Ring of Blight, the Plague Spreader? Filsmander's ring, which uses the ring's powerful power to seal the patron saint of the earth race. However, before the Earth Race Patronus was sealed, he cursed the ring, causing it to lose its original power. ”
Shinki had almost forgotten that he was communicating with a virtual demon, and now it seemed that there was no barrier to communication between the two.
"Then tell me how to activate this ring."
Demon Haggis lifted the cloth covering his head with his slender fingers, revealing a half-rotting head with no flesh, its mouth spewing a faint gas and hissing.
"Kill it, and sacrifice its flesh."
With that, Haggis waved his hand, and the letter tree wrapped in white mangs and the demon Haggis returned to the small square of the Mine Hive Spirit, and the surrounding Hive Spirit was still kneeling and trembling.
After returning to this altar, the demon Haggis floating on the magic circle began to blur, and the magic circle regained a faint light, as if it was about to suck Haggis back inside. Of course, Shinshu didn't want it to leave, this guy knew a lot of things, and was a very interesting demon, and if he could make some deal with it, he might be able to exchange it for valuable information or tasks.
"Lord Haggis, you haven't said my soul is worth a few dollars." In a hurry, Nobuki even used honorifics.
"You've sold me your soul, and you'll be satisfied with the price." As the last word faded, the summoning magic circle returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. The Nest Spirits finally dared to raise their heads, and they stared incredulously at the letter tree standing on the altar with their large, flickering eyes.
Shinki could feel a subtle change in the attitude of the Nest Spirit. Before, the letter tree was just a sacrifice, but now after being recognized by the demon Haggis, the spirit of the nest has a certain respect or fear for the letter tree.
The letter tree circled around the altar several times, unable to find a way to reactivate the magic circle. Shinki ran to the high priest in a fox skin and spoke to him.
The High Priestess of the Nest Spirit shouted in a shrill voice, but the letter tree didn't understand a word. It seems that the spirit of the nest does not have a complete language system in terms of setting, and the letter tree can only understand it this way.
What happened next made Shinshu happy. These little guys didn't know where to find a large pile of ore to sell to the outsider Xinshu, what Mithril ore, stainless steel ore, amethyst ore, all put in front of Xinshu's eyes. This time the high priest was wise, and he used his staff to draw pictures on the ground, and the drawings were still lifelike color pictures. Nobuki really wanted to snatch the high priest's staff to see if there was colored ink hidden inside.
The meaning of the High Priest is simple, bartering is allowed here, and the Shinshu can exchange ore from the people of the Nest Spirit as long as they find bones. Of course, the types of bones are different, and so are the types and quantities of ores that can be exchanged for them.
"I like bones so much, what is the origin of your ancestors?" Nobuki smiled cheaply, looked at the innocent high priest and muttered.
The idle letter tree circled around the small square and got a general idea of the interesting tribe of the Mine Hive Spirits. They don't have a language system, and their communication with the letter tree is mainly based on drawings, which are basically unhurried because the drawings are very realistic.
Bump Bump Bump!
Two young Mine Nest spirits scurried past the letter tree, leaving behind a series of excited cries. By now, Nobuki has to admit that he likes this race very much, not only because of their cute and funny appearance and style, but also because of their simplicity and simplicity that are not familiar with the world.
A golden conch coin can be used to buy many unique fruits and ornaments here. For example, the gray fruit like a walnut is opened to a huge insect. The ornaments don't need to be explained, they are basically made of various bones, and the childlike letter tree still can't help but buy a bone ring, without any attributes, a simple bone ring.
The perimeter of the tribe hides two paths leading to unknown directions, one to the northwest and one to the southwest. Nobuki decided to go back next time, and now returning to the main city of the Gray Ridge Mine Nest is the most important thing.
The letter tree, who didn't want to get into the tunnel, took out the [Crystal Spider] and threw it into the air, the crystal spider spit out countless silver threads in the air, and instantly wrapped the thin man into a silver humanoid cocoon, and then with a bang, the letter tree disappeared in place.
Back in the main city of the Greyridge Lair, it is now occupied by a large number of players, including members of high-level guilds, and the bustling crowd is bustling. Except for large-scale public events and game open beta tests, Xinshu has not encountered this kind of situation for a long time.
Nobuno sent a message asking why Nobuki hadn't gone offline yet. It is possible to communicate with the inside of the game outside the game, but most people will turn this function off so as not to ruin the interest of playing the game. Nobuki didn't have this concern, and no one knew how to contact him except Nobuno. If it is not an emergency, Nobuno will not take the initiative to disturb Nobuki.
It turned out to be a guest at home.,A girl the same size as Nobuno.。
"Hello, you are Li Xinye's brother Li Xinshu, I'm Lin Xiaoru."
The beautiful girl in front of her with fair skin and a smile like a flower is Nobuno's classmate, and Nobuki doesn't quite understand why Nobuno brought a female classmate to the house, so he politely beckoned her to sit down.
"Don't be so polite, is there anything wrong, it must be that this stinky boy of Nobuno is talking nonsense." Nobuki glanced at Nobuno who wanted to escape, grabbed Nobuno's schoolbag strap and pulled him back.
"Brother Xinshu, you misunderstood, I just wanted to ask you for a small matter." Lin Xiaoru said to Xinshu in a sweet tone, and her down-to-earth and generous appearance highlighted her good tutor. This girl knows how to use her strengths very well, and her speech and demeanor are neither humble nor arrogant. Lin Xiaoru's first impression of Xinshu was not simple, and Xinye had to suffer. Nobuki wouldn't be so stupid as not to guess her relationship with Nobuno, there must be ambiguity.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" In fact, now Xinshu still hasn't guessed what he can help the other party, and he can't figure it out if he wants to break his head.
Lin Xiaoru didn't rush to say what she wanted Xinshu to help, but said that she would invite the Xinshu brothers to dinner, but because Xinye couldn't refuse, Xinshu could only agree to come down.
Lin Xiaoru found a good restaurant, and while waiting for the dishes, she kept chatting with Nobuki about some interesting things about Nobuno at school, but the content of the matter did not embarrass Nobuno. Nobuki once again confirmed that Lin Xiaoru is not a simple girl, and I'm afraid that Nobuno has already fallen.
"Bondblade Carnival Invitation?"
The Bonding Blade Carnival Invitation Letter Tree is known, and it is said that this year's tickets need to be obtained by the players themselves by doing quests, and it is a B-level mission, which is not too difficult for the letter tree. Nobuki wasn't too interested in this kind of carnival with publicity and performance, so he didn't think about going to another city to participate in any carnival.
"Yes, I really like the Blade of Bonds, and I would love to go to this carnival, please, please." Lin Xiaoru is a student, she doesn't have much time to play games, and she won't be able to find the right person to help her for a while, I heard that Brother Xinshu is an old player, and it is not difficult to do this kind of task, so she thought of getting help from Xinshu under Xinye's introduction, but she forgot an important thing.
"You play with the Blade of Bonds?" Nobuki's expression froze, and Nobuno suddenly realized that Lin Xiaoru had made a mistake, she shouldn't reveal the information about her playing games, because her brother would never allow herself to be involved in some things that had nothing to do with studying at the stage of the sprint exam, especially things like playing games.
Soon, the smart Lin Xiaoru realized that she had made a mistake, and she could only try her best to make up for it. Lin Xiaoru's lower lip lost its blood color due to the pressure of her teeth, and she could only timidly squeeze a few words out of her throat.
"This..... this...... Occasionally...... Seldom. ”
"That's it, I can get the invitation letter for you, but I hope you don't contact each other for the time being before the exam," Originally, Xinshu wanted to reject Lin Xiaoru directly, but he thought about it and proposed a compromise method, "Please give me your parents' contact information, I want to talk to them." "Although Xinshu is usually very unreliable, he will never sit idly by in the matter of Xinye.
"Why, we didn't do anything out of the ordinary." Nobuno was a little worried about Nobuki's move to ask for a phone.
"Forget it, when I don't say anything, let's go." Lin Xiaoru's face was gloomy, she stood up with a bang, took Nobuno's hand and left.
The overwhelmed Shinye was held by Lin Xiaoru in three steps and turned back, if his mother knew about his affair with Lin Xiaoru, it would definitely be a disaster. Nobuki sat at the dining table without saying a word, not even raising his head.
Nobuki didn't want to tell his mother about Nobuno, he knew that his mother was sensitive to such stimuli. Nobuki just suddenly remembered when he was in college, where the girl who held his hand without hesitation, and whether he was married and had children. Thinking about it, Shinki let out a long series of low laughs, and it intensified, and the people around him looked at this laughing out of breath guy, and their brows furrowed.
"Sir, no loud noises are allowed here." A waiter stepped forward to remind the letter tree.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I just saw a very funny joke, do you want to take a look."
"No need, thank you, your dishes are ready, please use them slowly."
"Can these dishes be returned?"
"Sorry, no, you can pack."
In the end, Nobuki still compromised, not because of Lin Xiaoru's sugar-coated cannonballs, nor because of the so-called touching of the scene, not to encourage Nobuno to fall in love, but because Nobuki forgot to bring his wallet and had no money to settle the bill.
"Brother, thank you for your trust in us." Lin Xiaoru suddenly said that she had leaked her mouth, and she actually used the word 'we', and Xinshu pretended not to hear it.
Xinshu knows that this kind of thing is better than sparse, and now making things too extreme can easily have a negative effect. Nobuki guessed that the inexplicable affection between Nobuno and Lin Xiaoru had been occurring for a while, and Nobuno's results had been relatively stable, indicating that the former did not have much impact on the latter.
"Do you think I look like a pedantic person, the people I trust in this world can be counted in a slap
Come, Nobuno is the one who can be trusted more than myself. Don't be too impressed, oops, why don't you take something and throw it at me. ”
Parents are not there, the eldest brother is the eldest, after returning home, Xinshu inevitably gave Xinye an ideological education, and inquired in detail about Lin Xiaoru's family situation and academic performance, after learning that the other party has excellent grades and excellent family conditions. Xinshu swears that he is open-minded, and as long as he does not delay his studies, it is okay to fall in love.
In the end, Nobuki threw out a question, whether Lin Xiaoru still had a sister, Nobuno rolled his eyes and returned to his room after hearing this, leaving Nobuki alone in deep thought.
