Chapter Seventy-Six: A Strange Cat
Back at the mansion, Barrett cautiously walked outside Lalou and Rielly's house. After confirming that there was no previous quarrel inside, he knocked on the door gently: "Is there anyone in the house?" Take a breath if you are alive. ”
"Whew! Call! Gasps of air immediately came from the room. Barrett, who heard this response outside the house, was immediately amused: "It's Laru!" I know your voice as soon as I hear it. Alright, hurry up and open the door. The claw blade you want is right now in my fanny bag! ”
The cat boy who pushed open the door appeared in front of Barrett timidly, and his image immediately made Barrett feel a little surprised: "It seems that the previous dispute, Lalu, the weak bird, ended in failure!" But Rielly is a little too ruthless! What the hell is it that hits Lalu to make it the way it is. ’
Although he was still a little curious, Barrett didn't want to get involved in other people's 'household chores'. So after taking the box containing the claw blade out of his waist bag and putting it in the catboy's hand, he immediately turned around: "I have delivered the things, Lalu, you hurry up and try to see if it fits." If there's anything wrong with it, I'll bring it back and let them find a way to change it. ”
After all, a claw blade is a weapon, just like a full-body armor, and it is best to tailor it. So after getting the claw blade, Barrett asked for the due after-sales service from the king's shopkeeper. Of course, compared to full-body armor, the claw blade is relatively easy to modify← On the one hand, this is because the connection between the various parts of this weapon is far less tight than that of full-body armor, and on the other hand, it is much easier to create such small pieces than to shape large plates.
"Wait!" Suddenly, the catboy reached out and grabbed Barrett's corner of his coat.
'Bad dish! What excuse should I find to flash people quickly...... Barrett, who was in a hurry to leave, immediately hit the spirit: "Lalu, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Barrett, can you talk to me?" Lalu, tugging at the corner of Barrett's clothes, lowered her head and whispered.
'Go or stay!' Why did this kind of family ethics drama happen to me? Does she look so much like an aunt or a confidant sister of the neighborhood committee? Barrett roared at the thought of this. How is a gossip-loving woman, maybe she is already secretly drooling at this time. But for Barrett, a big man. This kind of thing can only be called two words. That's the 'trouble'.
However, after a few attempts (and not too much chestnut), Barrett failed to break free of Lalu's cat's claws. After hesitating for a while, he finally patted his head and sighed: "Alas! I'm really scared of you. Let's go in and say what we have to say! Don't let people out there think I'm bullying you. ”
After saying this, Barrett immediately swept the courtyard of the mansion with his gaze, where several aborigines were already stopping to watch the show! In order not to perform a misleading bloody drama in the eyes of others, Barrett has to compromise like a catboy.
Even while pushing Lalu back to the house, Barrett didn't forget to turn around and wave away the neighbors who were full of curiosity in their eyes.
Barrett, who closed the door, pulled the chair next to the table directly: "Okay, Lalu!" Say whatever you want! But as I said beforehand, I'm just a listening audience. Don't expect to get any advice from me. After all, I'm still single, and I don't have any experience in that. ”
"Poof! Barrett: Your guts don't match your size at all. There was a hint of a smile on the cat's face at this time, but the smile was only fleeting. Then he looked half-dead and half-alive, and he scratched his cat's ears: "Where do you start with this?" Let's start with this! Barrett, don't you think I'm not a good fit with Lily! ”
"Ahem! Cough! Cough! "Whose Barrett just poured himself a glass. Immediately, he was choked by Lalu's release of fierce material. Thankfully, he shut up in time, otherwise the whole room might have become cloudy. Barrett, who slapped his chest with one hand, pressed the other hand on the table to ensure his balance: "Lalu, didn't I say I wouldn't answer the question before?" Why do you ask questions as soon as you come up, and you still ask such high-energy questions! ”
"You mean! Say it! Say it! Lalu tugged at Barrett's pants on his knees and shook them vigorously.
'I'd rather tear down ten temples than break a marriage, even if this kind of thing is not suitable, it can't come out of my mouth!' And in fact, I don't see any big problems with it! With this in mind, Barrett shook his head: "I think Rielly's owner is still very qualified. And in terms of image, the combination of the strong sister and the cat ear is really good. ”
"That's not right! Wrong! Hearing this, the cat boy shook his head desperately, "You outsiders just think that the combined image of me and Lily is very interesting." ”
"Who made you choose this kind of race combination when you entered the game?" Barrett said as the corners of his mouth began to rise slightly.
The catboy's bean bun face immediately turned into a pleated meat bun: "That's Lily, she insisted that I choose this, I can't help it!" ”
'It turned out from the beginning. Rielly already has a unified plan in her mind for your image! He is the head of the family who is accustomed to taking ideas! Although he thought so in his heart, Barrett did not dare to say everything he thought. He reached out and touched Lalu's head, "If you don't agree with it yourself." Will she still be able to build your character for you beyond the system limits? In the end, it's not up to you to choose. ”
"I'm just, I'm just used to listening to her." The more she spoke, the quieter it became.
Barrett, whose hand was still not withdrawn from the cat's head, finally smiled at this moment: "If that's the case, you can just follow her wishes in Rieli's face as before." Anyway, you've been together for a long time! Is it necessary to have a conflict over such a trivial matter? ”
"But! But Lily, who somehow did she get stronger and stronger. And ......" The catboy has gradually brought out the crying tone in his voice now.
As the things and circumstances we experience change, so do the way we think and behave. Such an impact is not just in existence and in the real world. Even the unreal world of games is true - even the humble human-machine games of the early 21st century have had such a huge impact on players. Not to mention the immersive game of Diarra Continent.
Apparently Rielie is after all of this in the game. Personality and behavior have gradually changed from the original. When that change began, Barrett doesn't know – most likely around the time he left the team. And it is even more inconvenient for Barrett to comment on the good or bad of the change - the same kind of change often has both positive and negative sides, only whether it is suitable or not, and there is no direct saying whether it is good or bad. However, for the catboy, this change in Rieli is obviously not suitable for him.
Barrett, who probably had some knowledge, scratched his head, not knowing whether he should contradict what he had said when he first entered the room. So I had to silently act as a listener, passively accepting Lalu's confiding.
From the catboy's words, Barrett probably learned about the ups and downs that he and Rielly have gone through. Although Lalou's words only give a vague outline, Barrett has also sketched out a synopsis of the story through his own brain - one thing that can now be confirmed is Rielly's real-life identity and her two friends. Claymatis. Bot and Claudia. Auditore quite.
It's just that in order to be with Laru, Rielly has now fallen out with the family. However, the so-called falling out was just not supported by the family, and the Rielly family did not completely ban the two of them. Relying on the education and insight that is already beyond ordinary people, there are still some connections that can still be used. Lalu and Rielly fared far better than Barrett, the citizens of the lower middle classes of society. Because of this, the two of them were a little hesitant when they spent credits before.
Don't look at Lalu who didn't talk much like a cute stuffy gourd, but after opening the conversation box today, he can really be called talking! And Barrett, as an audience, has the illusion that he is tired when he listens to it. "Gollum, Gollum" The cat's stomach began to squirm constantly, and he didn't know if it was time to eat or if he talked too much and told him that he was hungry.
Barrett, whose ears were finally clean, immediately reached out and pressed Lalu's shoulder: "Anyway, it's inconvenient for me, an outsider, to interfere in the matter between the two of you." If you feel aggrieved. You should talk to Rieley about it. After all, people get along with each other, and they can't blindly accommodate because of how long she pays. Of course, I'm not saying that I shouldn't be accommodating. It's just that some emotions have too much backlog, and it will have a greater impact if they explode at once in the future. ”
Barrett, who had said this, got up and pushed open the door for a moment when Lalu was distracted, and then he turned and proposed, "Since you are hungry, you should eat." Let's go to the cafeteria now, and if it's not time for the opening day, I'll take you out for a walk. I've been in Ulrike for so long, and I've found a few good ones! ”
Barrett, who then led the cat around 'Ulrike', found that Lalu's mood gradually recovered as her stomach became rounder. By the time I took him back to the mansion in the evening to meet with Rierly, the relationship between the two seemed to be back to normal.
Still, the sensitive Barrett felt something was wrong: 'The interaction between Rielly and Lalu was a little unnatural compared to what it had been. Let's hope I don't think too much! ’
For the next two days, Barrett spent the next two days helping the cat get used to his new claw blade - Barrett's previous worries did not materialize, and the claw blade fit well with Lalu's flesh claws. Although it is not as good as the ones that are customized according to the standard of the template of a special person, there is no need to rework and adjust.
"Hiss-" The tips of the metal claws tore through the air with ease, and five silver arcs pierced the eyes. Unfortunately, this claw was easily stopped by Barrett. Then Barrett, who kicked Lalu to the ground, touched his chin: "It seems that we thought too simply. The coordination between the Scorpion Scythe and the Claw Blade is not as easy as previously thought. ”
"It seems that this road has gone astray! It's a pity that the 300 gold coins! "Claudia watching from the sidelines. There was a bit of schadenfreude in Auditore.
Barrett, who turned around, glared at the other party: "Don't talk cold there." Besides, the roads are all walked out by people, how can they be crooked! Now it's just that we haven't found the know-how to work the two. ”
"And how long will it take you to find the trick to combining the two! Can you give me a specific timeline? "Claudia. Auditore's smiling face was like a fox stealing chickens.
Barrett was stumped when he heard this, after all, adjusting the coordination between moves can be a quick and busy thing. Sometimes inspiration strikes and it can take a few hours to solve the problem, and all that's left is to practice and familiarize yourself with the newly learned movements. But if you don't have inspiration, let alone ten days and half a month, even if it's a year or two, you may not be able to figure it out!
Seeing Barrett's face suddenly turn from sunny to cloudy, he also interjected at this time: "Barrett, I don't think you need to carry everything on yourself." Anyway, did the previous warrior monks have also had similar research in this area? Even if it's not exactly the same, there should be something for reference! It should be a lot easier to stand on the shoulders of those who came before you. ”
"The accumulation of predecessors?" Barrett frowned, "Warrior Monk or some other melee class that specializes in scythes and claw blades?" It's not impossible, but it's not easier to find a record of them than to figure it out on our own! This is not only the reason for the rarity of this style of fighting, but more importantly, I am afraid that no one will specifically record this non-mainstream style of fighting. ”
"Anyway, it's the same way, isn't it!" The halfling wanderer smiled, "If you go in one more direction, you will have a better chance of solving the problem in the end." ”
"That's right!" Hearing this, Barrett's eyes lit up: "Speaking of the records of the predecessors, I remember that in the 'Good Dragon God' church, there are many warrior monks who are good at claws!" I think there should be more opportunities to find similar information. I said noodles, I'm afraid it's up to you to solve the problem this time. (To be continued......)
