At the beginning of the 4th covenant the first commission after joining the Sanhedrin turned out to be an obligation
At that moment, it was as if the world had pressed the pause button, and only the heartbeat of "dong dong" sounded in my ears.
"Not bad! Very lovely response. β
Lin Xi showed a wicked smile that had succeeded in her plan, the two little tiger teeth at the corners of her mouth added a little devil charm to her, and her cheeks were still a little baby fat when she looked closely.
"How? Do you feel it? The spirit of words contained in the Chinese language. β
"Alright! I admit that there is indeed extraordinary power in human language. β
Summer Night had forgotten the true meaning of the phrase "Sometimes words can kill a person", and he almost thought he had launched "The World" at that time.
However, this lethality is a bit of a foul!
"Wait a minute."
Lin Xi left her seat and turned around and walked towards the water bar, so that Xia Ye naturally didn't see the expression on her face.
After a while, she returned from the water bar with two drinks.
"Here, this is the apology just now."
She handed one of them to Summer Night, revealing the winged bitesnake on the back of her left hand, the color of which was more pure than white.
"No, that's a little..."Seeing Lin Xi's tough attitude, Xia Ye had no choice but to take it.
"Thank you."
The milky liquid in the glass was reminiscent of dairy products, and I tasted it tentatively, and then frowned subconsciously.
This subtle change was noticed by Lin Xi, and there was a trace of doubt in his amber eyes.
"What? Not to your taste? β
"Well, it's okay, actually."
Summer Night maintains a view that he doesn't like or hate sweet food, and this sweet drink may be just right for a girl, but it's a little too much for him.
"I'm sorry." Lin Xi half-lowered his eyelids, "I thought you would like it?" β
"It's okay."
Summer Night attributed the reason for Lin Xi's loss to choosing the wrong drink.
"Xia, come over here."
Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice rang out in this quiet place.
Summer Night turned her head to find the source of the sound, and finally set her eyes on the short figure sitting cross-legged on the high stool of the water bar: bald and one-eyed.
The third president of the Ouroboros - Jupitt Burson. A summoner who is one of the clock seats of the Summoners Association and is known for many titles such as "Giant", "Greedy Wolf Guard", and "Thunderbolt Myth".
Putting down the glass in his hand and walking towards the bar, Xia Ye asked, "President, are you looking for me?" β
"That's right, I have a commission in my hand that I hope you can take."
President Jupitt looked at the summer night with that one-eyed.
The so-called Summoners' Guild is essentially an organization that acts as an intermediary for summoners to introduce them to everything from finding objects to crusades.
"What commission?"
"Three days ago, our guild member, Natalia Knightwerka, lost contact while carrying out a commission in the territory of Rus."
"Normally this is normal, but since it happened suddenly and three days have passed, I wonder if she is in trouble, so I want to entrust you with finding Natalia. The best result is to find the person who really can't find it, and it's good to collect some clues. β
If it's at the [border], this kind of missing person commission for three days is also called "picking up bones", fortunately this is on the Alwald continent, but the point is not here, but ......
"What about commissioning remuneration?"
"I already paid yesterday."
President Jupitt was referring to the fact that he was joining the Ouroboros.
Xia Ye smiled wryly, it seemed that he had no right to refuse at all.
"In that case, let me go with him!" Lin Xi, who came with him, interjected beside him.
"First, I'm also worried about Nana's safety, and secondly, Xia is a newcomer after all."
"No way!"
The person who objected was Mila, who worked at the water bar, and she had been listening to the conversation she had just attended.
"Qiqi, have you forgotten the rules of our guild?"
"Sister Mila, how many times have I said that I am no longer a child! And I'm already a B-rank summoner now. Lin Xi grabbed Mila's arm across the water bar.
"Spoiled" - Skill activation!
"Okay?"
"Mira is right, Qiqi, you are still..."
γββββββββββοΌ γ
President Jupitt was interrupted by Lin Xi before she could finish speaking, and she smiled "kindly" at the president while holding Mila's arm.
Because Lin Xi's words contained the spirit of the secret system, no one except the president could know what she said.
Although she didn't know the specific content, seeing the expression on the president's face and her understanding of Lin Xi, Mira guessed it.
"Qiqi, if you have to go..."
"Yes!"
President Jupitt uncharacteristically agreed to Lin Xi's request (threat) (threat).
"Hey! Are you sure? In my opinion, let me join us..."
"Mila, there's still a lot of work for you to take care of in the guild, and ......" President Jupitt rejected Mila's offer.
"Can we protect her for the rest of our lives?"

After discussing with Lin Xi, Xia Ye and Lin Xi decided to meet in front of the guild gate in two hours, he was going to the Cat and Fish Hotel to check out, while Lin Xi wanted to go back to make some preparations for this trip.
After the two left the guild together, Mira looked at President Jupitt: "What a surprise, as one of the few people who doted on that child the most, this time you didn't object, is it because of that child in Xia?" β
The original demon king of the mixed world suddenly became a good girl next door, and anyone would inevitably be surprised, and this was also the source of the guild's subtle atmosphere.
As soon as she thought of this, Mira couldn't help but wonder if she shouldn't let those two people come into contact. Yesterday, after Lin Xi came back, he showed off his B-level summoner qualification certificate to her, and in order not to make Lin Xi proud and complacent, Mira mentioned Xia Ye, and the result was ......
Then Mira laughed at herself, she was laughing at her own naΓ―ve thoughts. Since you have joined the Ouroboros, how can you not meet the [Snake Pet Queen], and once you meet ......
President Jupitt didn't answer her question, and Mira didn't care before continuing, "Actually, I've always wondered why you allowed Natsu, who didn't have a recommendation, to join our guild? What do you think of him? β
"What about you?"
President Jupitt looked at the entrance to the guild hall.
"Mila, what does that kid look like in your eyes?"
Hearing the president's question, Mira thought of the memory of seeing Summer Night for the first time yesterday, and was stunned, "Is this your purpose?" β
Originally, she was a little strange why the president asked Summer Night to look for Natalia, was she someone to worry about? The ones who should be worried about her will be able to suddenly disconnect and disappear for three days!
Staring at this aging man, Mila's heart gradually rippled, once upon a time his figure was so tall, so tall that he carried the Ouroboros in the sky alone, and now he was just an old man.
His face is slowly crawling with wrinkles, his back is hunched little by little, when did all this change begin?
"Na! President, when are you going to retire? β
The old man in the twilight looked at the guild hall that was full of joy and bustle.
"It's not time yet, the children are still young, and I won't be able to rest until you grow up."
Alas, after all, when will the "child" who is in the rebellious period be willing to come back to inherit the "family business"?
As if to understand the president's thoughts, Mira looked into the distance through the window as if she saw a stubborn back.
"That's right! Mila, I almost forgot. I'm going to go to Krobas for a local meeting, and you can arrange it. β
Hearing President Jupitt's words, Mira's expression was stunned, and then she smiled.
"Yes, my elder!"
