Chapter 27: The Secret Weapon
There were already a few people in the cafeteria, and they invited me to sit down at their table, and Parker was there, still empty, and I walked over.
"Parker, how about doing me a favor?" I sat down next to Parker and looked at him.
Parker turned his head, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, it seemed that he had always been this cold and arrogant style in front of people. But when I looked at the faces of the guys around me who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and the enthusiastic smile he had last night, I knew he was a mild comic who liked to pretend to be cool.
"Oh, it's not a big deal, I just wanted to ask if you know of a blue-crowned salamander colony near the town, and I want to get some blue-crowned salamanders as a research sample." I didn't say I had taken on the task of the blue-crowned salamander, but found another reason.
Parker shook his head, "I'm sorry, Nolon, I'm going to disappoint you. Even when we are out of town, we only play around, and occasionally we only see a few blue-crowned salamanders, and we don't know where they gather. If it's okay some time ago, we can accompany you to spend a few days outside the town looking for it. But this morning the front-line troops sent us a magic letter saying that they would be back seven days early, and we are all busy cleaning up the garrison now, and we really can't spare time to accompany you outside the town. ”
Well, it's force majeure, and I can't help it, and I shrugged: "Oh, that's unlucky." Looks like I've had to ask my Angolan Zerg friends to take me to the blue-crowned salamander. ”
I brushed the thread over and chatted casually with the others at the table. During the period, one after another, except for the two 'Billy' standing guard at the door, even the cook servant sat on the table.
I wanted to bring some food for Ellie, but seeing that everyone was eating together at the table instead of eating separately, it was not good to ask them to pack one for me to take first.
I ate while listening to the guys chatting and bragging. To my delight, there were still a few loaves of bread on the table. I put all the bread in their strange eyes, smiled awkwardly, and buried my head in eating. For Ellie's sake, it's a shame this time. I quickly finished my stomach problem and hurried out of the cafeteria.
Walking out of the cafeteria, I thought about it and had to go to Nala and ask him to take me to the blue-crowned salamander's gathering place. I wanted to take it to myself, but now it seems that I can only take him to the temple to take the mission and divide the fire sac of the blue-crowned salamander equally.
I still looked at the engram again, but I walked this road a few times, and I didn't go astray halfway, but I didn't go wrong anymore and arrived at Viona's house without checking the engram again. At the door of her house, I straightened up my somewhat messy pale silver hair, and then knocked on the door: "I'm Nolon, is anyone there?" ”
Viona's voice was so loud that I heard it outside the door: "It's Noron, Angel, go open the door." ”
"Why am I here to open the door?" I watched Angel open the door speechlessly, accompanied by Viona's natural response: "You are closer to the door, of course you open the door." ”
As soon as I entered, Angel sat back in her place, picked up the half-eaten fruit on the table, and continued. Then, at the next glance, I saw several large unknown insects fixed with forks on the table, and they had only two characteristics in common, one was white and fat, and the other was alive and writhing.
I relied on Pei Ye's earnest teaching for many years to hold back the feeling of nausea. No wonder the game says that the food of the Angola Zerg is a big killer for many races, and I really don't know how the meal time of the human army and the Zerg comrades is spent.
I forced a smile and looked at Viona, ready to speak. Compared to Angel, who was eating fruit, Viona had already eaten half of it, the famous delicacy of the Angora Zerg - an Angora Diagram worm the size of a human adult's forearm.
I immediately closed my open mouth. I couldn't see it, but I knew I must not be looking good. I have a strong will so that I don't throw up, but it's one thing to be able to endure it, and it's too hard for me to overcome my human nature and communicate with the Angora Zerg who are feasting on big bugs with a smile on my face. So I pushed my speed up to 23 and flew upstairs to the room I had stayed here the other day.
It's been more than a year since I've been in contact with humans, and Viona and Angel should have known how lethal their Angora Zerg delicacy was to humans, so they didn't come up to me and ask me what the situation was. I sat quietly on the bed in the room and silently communicated with Ellie: "Ellie, did you see the situation just now?" ”
"What's wrong, Nolon? It's just two female Angora Zerg eating, what's the problem? ”
I couldn't help but show a strange face: "Ellie, don't you feel disgusted when you look at those white and chubby, writhing bugs?" ”
"Disgusting?" Ellie seemed a little puzzled: "I don't feel disgusting, do I?" Although I don't eat bugs, I also know that they are just a common food for the Angora Zerg, so I won't feel disgusting, right? On the contrary, Noron's blue face made me feel strange. ”
Since she said so, I had to tell Ellie solemnly and carefully about the normal three views of human beings, so that she would not do something that would break me down in the future. For example, I suddenly became interested in the strange 'deliciousness' of other races. I don't want to see a cute little Lori happily eating a bug the size of her arm bit by bit, this picture is too beautiful for me to see. And if Ellie really does this, then I will definitely be abused by the angry heroic sister Vera and the muscular man Ledo before being kicked to death by all the loli in the world.
It took about half an hour, I looked at Ellie, who was ignorant and was understanding the three views of human beings, and made the final explanation word by word: "Ellie, although it is a bit complicated, you must remember these, this is the knowledge that you must know in the future to develop human believers, and you must keep it in mind." "The main thing is not to suddenly pit me in the future!
I don't want to see a devout human believer in Ellie get a steamed worm or something after a sacrifice, so it's better to forget it!
Almost, Viona and Angel should have finished eating and cleaning up. I went downstairs and saw Angel drinking round fruit juice in a cup, and Viona sitting on the couch eating yellow tree fruit.
Viona wisely didn't mention what had just happened, but asked me directly, "Noron, is there something wrong with you?" ”
"I'd love to say I'm fine, just to come and see you guys and sit down and talk, but I'm actually here to find Nala."
"It's a coincidence," Viona said to me with her hands outstretched, "Nala and his group of Zerg children who have completed their coming-of-age rites have been led by the Lord of Lakala to Anka City to receive the blessing of divine power, and they will not come back until ten days later, do you have anything to do with him?" ”
I thought about it for a moment and decided that it was okay to tell Viona: "Okay, here's it. I took the mission from the mayor at the temple, but I didn't know where the blue-crowned salamanders were gathering and wanted to ask Nala about it. Originally, I wanted him to take on this task like me to earn some faith crystals, but unfortunately he was not there. ”
Viona's face became serious, she supported her forehead with her hands, and put the rest of her upper body on the table, and a slight sense of oppression came to me: "Noron, you must understand that even with the protection of a shield, if you are surrounded by a blue-crowned salamander, it is a desperate situation for a LV1 mage. There will always be a time when the shield will be broken, what will you do then? Even if Nala can fly, he may not be able to rescue you from the blue-crowned salamander, and your idea is very dangerous, and it is a common mistake for low-level professionals to think that you can ignore danger with a strong shield. You'd better wait until the hunting tournament in a month's time, with the protection of me, Angel and Rattle, so you can try your hand at the blue-crowned salamander. ”
Viona's lesson, although not very pleasant, is indeed kind. So I made a suggestion: "Otherwise, now that Viona and Angel are here, we might as well go to the wild and find a small group of blue-crowned salamanders, and show you that I can be a LV1 mage myself, and dare to face the secret weapon of dozens of blue-crowned salamanders." ”
Viona was still thinking, but Angel, who was drinking juice quietly, jumped out: "Noron, what secret weapon do you have, is it a high-level prop or a magic scroll?" Take it out and show me. ”
Well, the fish is hooked!
Although I was talking to Viona, my actual purpose was to be Angel, who seemed to be quiet now, but was actually an out-of-the-box person. As soon as the bait of the secret weapon comes out, the curious temple mystics will definitely not give up just like that.
Sure enough, seeing that I was smiling and silent, Angel turned around and helped me persuade Viona, who was unhappy: "Viona, you can promise him." With the protection of me, the temple mystic, and you, the temple warlock, and then find a small group of blue-crowned salamanders, Noron and what kind of shield you said, there will be no problem, you can promise him! Angel took Viona's hand and shook it, and Viona visibly wavered.
Ahem, although it is a coquettish tone and action, but I watched a really not good-looking insect man coquettish another insect man who does not conform to human aesthetics, and I think it is better to wash my eyes later.
"Okay, I promised you." Viona sighed: "It just so happens that Rattle is not on duty today, so I called him too, and it was regarded as a drill for the hunting tournament in a month's time." ”
"Thank you, Viona, for bothering me." In the face of Viona, who was willing to agree to my unreasonable request, I sincerely thanked her.
But my gratitude was only exchanged for a roll of my eyes.
"If I find out that your secret weapon is actually just a gimmick and really useless." Viona threatened, "Anyway, I haven't signed up yet, and I will change your name to Nala's in this hunting tournament as punishment for your reckless behavior." ”
"Don't worry," I confidently looked her in the eye so she could feel my confidence, "my secret weapon will amaze you." ”
