The reason why he was planning to give in was that he could see that Terkes was not very friendly to Leah, and secondly, he still focused on his plan to go to the Valley of Scorpion to obtain the Obsidian Codex.

To put it in layman's terms, although he himself was a powerful celebrity player in the game in his previous life, Telx in this life can be regarded as a local snake in Orlan. In this way, in order to minimize unnecessary trouble, it is helpless to give up a magic pet with good potential, after all, from a rational point of view, the obsidian code is naturally much more important than a fledgling in the eye of the storm.

In this way, the young paladin was about to give up for the sake of not causing trouble to Leah, and at the same time for the sake of his own plan - but at this moment, Telkes, who had been speaking arrogantly since his appearance, suddenly waved his hand at Finn, looked at Finn, Lilith and Leah at the same time and said, "No, you misunderstood what I meant. As a generous nobleman, as a gift for my brother's reunion, I now intend to give this owl to you, but I need you and Leah to agree to me on a small condition. ”

"On what terms?" As soon as he heard the other party start to talk about the conditions, Finn's expression on his face remained unchanged, but his attention immediately focused.

In his past gaming career, he was so impressed by the intrigues between players that he would be in a very cautious state when any stranger took the initiative to negotiate terms with him, lest he fall into a trap carefully designed by others.

However, to his surprise, Telkes's next request did not seem to mean to make things difficult, but meant: "I will give this pet to you, and you will follow me to the Valley of Scorpions as my servants for the next few days." An exploration team led by Countess Kalea of Lonster has unearthed the entrance to an ancient ruin at Mount Elbach, and I have made an appointment with the Countess to escort her exploration team tomorrow with an elite team. ”

As soon as Telx said this, Finn was shocked for a moment.

He had a gut feeling that the ancient ruin that Telcks was referring to was the one that Lilith had learned of from Glens's Babel notes.

Fain hadn't told Leah about the Obsidian Codex, and he had even planned to forcibly part with Leah when he left Orlan, but now the situation suddenly became complicated, so that he first began to speculate about where Lord Terx and the Countess of Callea had come from and through what source they learned about an ancient ruin in Scorpion Valley.

The short time was not enough for Finn to clearly speculate on something. After thinking about it for a while, he was kind of tempted to accept Terks' terms, so that he could sort out the mess of clues as soon as possible before finding the Obsidian Codex, and minimize the possibility of a vicious accident in the process.

It just so happened that Finn's pensive gaze seemed to Leah to think that he was thinking about his own position. The beautiful paladin boy was simple-minded, and after his eyes swayed back and forth between Terx and Finn, he finally couldn't help but reach out and pat Finn's shoulder.

"Leah?" Finn then came back to his senses and turned to look at him.

"Don't worry, Finn. My brother and I haven't seen each other for many years, and I just have a lot of things I want to talk to him. Leah narrowed her eyes and smiled cutely, "Since my brother intends to give us this little owl, why don't we take advantage of his kindness?" Anyway, going to Scorpion Valley is part of your travel plans, isn't it? ”

Without waiting for Finn to agree, he walked past Finn on his own, hunched down and lifted the birdcage from the floor, turned back and handed it to Lilith.

Lilith witnessed the presumably farce in some confusion, and then took the birdcage Leah handed to him with both hands, and saw Leah then pull five gold coins out of her own pocket and place them on the shopkeeper's glass cabinet.

In this way, the boy, who looked like a girl, bought the owl in the birdcage for the black-haired warlock girl. Seeing that Leah himself didn't have any opinions, Fein had to sigh softly after thinking about it, turned his head sideways to face Telx and said, "Then thank you, Lord Telks." ”

"You're welcome, Leah's friend." Telx smiled and clasped his hands, "Next, since you have promised to go with me, then we will prepare in the city today, and take the carriage to the Scorpion Valley early tomorrow morning." I'm looking forward to your performance, hahahahaha......"

Two seconds later, he let out a hearty laugh and turned to leave, surrounded by five servants, including Douglas. When the blonde young lord finally walked out of the door of the shop, Lilith watched his last visible figure disappear, then touched the side rail of the birdcage with her hand, lowered her gaze a little to make sure that the little owl named Pol inside had not been injured, and then carefully freed up her other hand to pull the corner of Finn's clothes, and whispered to the paladin youth, "Finn, I don't like that Lord Tarces. ”

Finn put away the silver sword, turned his head to look at her, and confessed: "I don't like him either." But as I've said to you before, people sometimes need a mask to deal with each other, because too many blunt personalities are not only unsociable, but also easy to make enemies for themselves when they are not aware of it. ”

"Hmm." Lilith nodded obediently, "So, even if I don't like that Lord Tarks, I should keep my thoughts hidden now, right?" ”

"Yes. Lilith understands very quickly. Finn smiled, and raised his hand to touch the girl's soft black hair as he had done before. The girl's eyes narrowed slightly as her hair was stroked, and she looked like a quiet and obedient cat being stroked by someone's reach.

"That's right, Finn." In the middle of the night, Lilith opened her dark eyes, as if she remembered something.

"Anything else?" Finn lowered his hand and looked down at her.

"Thank you and Leah." Lilith didn't blush, but she also lowered her head, opened the small door of the birdcage, put her slender hand into the cage and grasped the fat lower body of the little owl, and slowly lifted the birdcage out of the cage, and whispered, "Pol is cute, thank you for buying it and giving it to me." I love it, I like Leah, and I like you. ”

As the words fell, the girl tried to express her unexpressed joy to the young paladin in front of her in a voice that lacked emotional fluctuations, and then put aside the empty birdcage, and looked at the little owl with a ball of meat in both hands with interest, and then carefully lifted the little one and put it on top of her head, as if she had put on a small white velvet hat for herself......
