The Return Journey (Part I)

();

Maybe it's because the experience just now is so 'exciting' that the process of their return can be described as unpretentious.

The only thing that surprised them a little was not William, who had been waiting outside the cave, nor the long knife that he casually discarded on the side of the road. It was Ferta, who didn't leave at all.

In fact, not only did he not leave, but he also set up an open-air barbecue stand.

Looking at the mushrooms and small fish that were constantly tumbling on the charcoal fire, Yu Siqi's stomach began to launch a 'shout' very cooperatively.

"I'm guessing you're all hungry, right? That's no wonder, after all, the amount of exercise is there. Come on, I've got some specialties around here, you're welcome. ”

Fell picked up a handful of almost baked food, sprinkled some flour in his hand, and handed it to Yu Siqi.

The tantalizing aroma combined with the slight amount of grease still dripping from the surface of the food turns the bland mushroom into a 'demon' that arouses people's appetite.

"You still have the audacity to appear in front of us?"

Wan Jie stepped forward directly, grabbed Fair's shirt, and looked at him angrily.

"I know this may seem a little hard to understand to you. But I can explain that I think time and reason will still be on my side after all.

But before that, I think it's necessary for me to give a kind reminder to the tax collector. Please try to stay away from fire, it is dangerous. ”

Fair had no intention of resisting at all, he let himself be picked up by Wan Jie, and let her spill all her anger on him.

"Since you're willing to explain, hurry up. Otherwise, these foods will taste bad. ”

Compared with Wan Jie's excitement and irritability, Father An was unexpectedly calm.

Beneath his calm surface, of course, lurks an imminent outburst of rage.

"First of all, I confess that I did deceive you, and that is an indisputable fact.

But I must also emphasize that there are actually difficulties on my side.

You see, if I had told you from the beginning that there was a particularly difficult guy to solve in that cursed land, would you still go there?

I guess that's not so easy to say, right?

Second, I didn't do it for myself.

Of course, part of it was for myself. But in the long run, I'm for everyone.

Maybe when you hear me say this, you'll think I'm trying to fool you again, or that I'm going to do it again.

I don't deny that this person, as long as he is marked with some kind of 'mark', it is indeed difficult to wash it clean.

But I don't care, just like I think 'where there's a will, there's a way', and there will always be a rainbow after the storm. ”

Sometimes you have to confirm the fact that in terms of 'language and words', Phil is definitely not inferior to the priest.

Even in terms of 'strong words', Yu Siqi felt that he was still slightly better.

No, just a few words that were not too convincing eased Wan Jie's expression a lot. She put Fell down with a cold face, and asked with her hands around her chest: "Don't grind and chirp for me, quickly explain what is going on!"

"Before I get to the bottom of that, I think I'll have to tell you another story.

This is a story of sanity and loyalty.

As you may all know, the Tax Collector and I are both 'dead men' summoned by the Heavenly Cup.

But do any of you know? I was the first to be summoned by that guy named Huang Zunyi.

At that time, I was actually quite puzzled, it stands to reason that if anyone wants to enhance their strength and achieve their own goals. A lot of times, you will choose to make a fuss about the strong, right?

Not to mention the three-pillar body like the tax officer, as strong as the 'old cadre' who your father Luo Ning retired from the sanctuary, I am not his opponent.

Not to mention the likes of Demi and Ye Bo.

And you say that the summoner needs wise people to assist him, but it is not my turn.

Albert is arguably the smartest person in the area outside of the Mistress Lady, and even he is not a good choice.

Can you guess why?

I thought about it myself for a long time. ”

After Wan Jie put him down, Fair put the baked food that Yu Siqi had not accepted back on the stove.

Beneath the firelight, a face of extreme calm appeared.

"If I'm right, is it because you know a lot of secrets that no one else knows?"

Fr. Ann tilted his head and asked.

Not exactly, but it's close to the answer. Well, I'm not going to waste your 'precious time'.

That's right, at that time, Sect Master Huang told me that there was only one reason why he needed me, and that was what I was ordered to keep. ”

When Fair said this, Wan Jie clapped her hands suddenly and said, "Did you give out the roster!"

"As a tax collector, I got to the point right at once. The domains of the three tax collectors, plus the direct domain of the Mistress, the sanctuary of Yebo, and the armory of Demi. All of this has a unified list, and the custodian of this list is unfortunately below.

Suffice it to say, without that roster. Even if his Huang Sect Leader is hand-eyed, I'm afraid he may not be able to make the 'Almighty' Heavenly Cup accurate to the individual when summoned. ”

Phil talked about it with a little pride on his face. But the tone was unexpectedly a little frustrated.

"You despicable and shameless fellow, you have failed the high expectations of your mistress. How can you give up such a precious thing? ”

Wan Jie began to get angry again, this time she was not as 'gentle' as before, Leng threw Fell to the ground and slammed it at his fat face.

After a while, Fell's already bloated face became more rounded.

Of course, it's 'rounded' with a bluish purple color.

"Don't fight, if you continue to fight, he will probably kill you."

Yu Siqi stretched out his hand to dissuade, but Wan Jie didn't pay attention to it at all.

In desperation, Father An recited: "The law - pacify!"

This spell went down, and it directly made Wan Jie stop her movements.

It's a pity that it just made her body stop. The anger on his face still hasn't completely dissipated.

She was still gritting her teeth and resisting the power of the spell, and her body was almost moving.

Seeing this situation, Fair, whose eyes were already bloodshot, knelt down directly in front of her and said, "I know that nothing I can do can make up for my stupidity, but please give me a chance, Lord Tax Collector." I'll just want to finish my sentence, and then I'll leave it to you at your disposal. ”

"Do you think I'm going to give you this chance?"

Wan Jie glared at him viciously and sprayed spit directly on his face.

"Probably not, but I'm willing to look forward to it."

Phil didn't mind the saliva on his face at all, and looked at each other with sincere eyes. I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Yao Yuqin's Urban Strange Talk", " ", talk about life, find a confidant~
