Chapter 28: Lost his wife and lost his soldiers
On the way back from Winterman, Talos sat in the back row of the bus in a muffled voice.
A pair of eyes looked out of the car window, not knowing what they were thinking, just stunned.
It seemed that he was angry, but this boiling emotion, and the uneasy depression, even he couldn't explain it clearly.
Although he usually looks like this, but now the low air pressure is too obvious, even if Rin Rin can't read the puppet's daily dull face, he is beginning to notice it.
Rin wanted to say something, but she was too tired, too tired.
I didn't eat for a day and a night, and my physical and spiritual power were both consumed. Thinking of this, Rin Rin regretted a little, he should have knocked those townspeople well.
Thinking about it, I felt that my eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
Talos was still thinking about the reason for his heart blockage, but his shoulders sank, as if something was pressing down.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Rinrin's little face, which was still scorched and slightly dirty by the flames, was leaning on his shoulder at the moment.
"Talos, I'm tired. Shoulder, lend me a pillow...... I'll charge you one less day, and the rent will ......"
Rin's voice grew softer and softer, and by the end it was almost inaudible. Only the sound of soft breathing remained, exhaling slowly in the quiet carriage.
Due to the remoteness of the city of Dongman, there are no activities and scenery worth mentioning except for the night festival. So there are naturally no people on the car coming and going.
The sudden silence made Talos a little nervous for a moment, and his body sat up straighter unconsciously.
A heart seemed to be shaken by something, and the little haze that was still haunting his heart before was like breaking into a sweeping lady at this time, and the smoke was cleared.
He reached out and gently stripped the hair that hung between her brows, but it seemed to itch her, and she couldn't help frowning.
Well, that's fine.
Rin is still by her side, still her master.
It's just a little fox, what's there to worry about.
Thinking like this, Talos also suddenly came to his senses. Simply hugged Rin who was still asleep, "I will definitely take care of you, so good that no demon spirit can enter your eyes!" ”
Rin Rin was suddenly wrapped around her neck with this cold arm, and she was momentarily depressed, wondering what this fool was talking nonsense about.
But the only thing she knew was that if this stupid puppet didn't let go, she would be strangled by him.
At that time, she really couldn't get into any demon spirits.
When the two returned to Yunyin, they didn't bother to change clothes and eat, so they hurriedly went to hand in the closing report of the power of attorney. As soon as I entered the door, I was met by Xuanfu.
As soon as Talos saw him, he unconsciously became vigilant, I don't know if it was because he didn't make a good impression when they met him for the first time. It was still the spirit aura that Xuan Yu was responsible for, which made him indescribably resistant.
He stood behind Rin, his eyes lowered, and he just listened quietly to Rin and Xuanyu.
"Are you still used to dealing with entrusted tasks for the first time?"
Xuan Mo always looked smiling, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if a gentle elder was caring for a child close to him, and wiped the scorched black on Rinrin's chin with his hand.
But in the eyes of Talos, this scene has other meanings.
Don't blame him for being too possessive of Rin or thinking too much. After all, this mystery is a smiling tiger in Talos's heart.
Although he has been sleeping in the twilight river, he has not experienced the world. But a person who can achieve the position of executive officer is not an idle person.
And Rin Rin, a half-demon who is almost avoided by everyone, how could he be so favored by Xuan Yu?
What to say and Rinrin's father is an old acquaintance, so he won't believe this kind of nonsense.
Talos was on high alert these days, and anyone who got too close to Rin would not take it lightly, for whatever reason, whether it was dangerous or not.
But these questions had been floating in Talos's mind, and he couldn't mention them to Rin.
Although a large part of this is due to his vague possessiveness.
"The entrusted task is okay, although there are some minor troubles, but it can be solved smoothly. It's just ......"
Before Rin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xuanfu. "I know that these associations reimburse travel expenses and medical expenses. As for the clothes......"
Xuan Yu looked Rin Rin up and down, and Talos, who was completely naked, and said, "As for the clothes, let's not take them as an example." Later, you will go to the logistics department to get a set of Yunyin's uniform, and try not to wear private clothes when you go out on missions in the future. ”
As he spoke, his obscure gaze circled Talos's lower abdomen. And in the place where the number of the puppet was clearly printed, he paused for a moment, and then quickly withdrew his gaze.
The puppets left over from the Battle of Twilight River don't know if they are good or bad for Rin.
Seeing that Xuan Yu was distracted for a moment, Rin Rin thought that this uncle was going to regret what he had just said. Hurriedly took out the power of attorney from his backpack and solemnly handed it over.
"Thank you, Uncle Xuanyu, I'll get it in a while, and I'll report the reimbursement after I have dinner with Talos for a while."
Rin showed a bright smile, still childlike and innocent.
"You girl, this is to eat your uncle." As he spoke, he nodded his forehead and sighed helplessly.
No matter what time of year it is, there is no shortage of people in the hall of the Cloud Hidden Association.
The envoys came in and out, very busy. And there are many of them who are the same as Rinrin, who came back dirty. There are also demon beasts that are caught outside, and they go straight to the front desk to deliver the power of attorney.
Sure enough, it is not easy to maintain a peaceful life today. How many of these magic envoys paid silently behind the scenes, in exchange for the current comfort.
At this time, a man with a biscuit stick came down from upstairs, and saw Xuan Yu standing in the hall from a distance, talking and laughing with someone at some point.
He hurriedly straightened out his visibly crumpled plaid shirt and trotted down the stairs to say hello, "Executive, I'm looking for you." ”
Xuan Yu turned around, only to see Lan Zhu, the leader of the third group, who was running towards him chewing biscuits at the moment.
"Team Leader Lan is still quitting smoking."
"Haha, yes. I thought it was quite easy, but I didn't expect to quit smoking, and I didn't understand it, but this snack made me fat. Lan Chai patted his belly, which was already a little rounded, embarrassedly.
The two were chatting, and Rin on the side suddenly remembered him, and said, "It's you!" ”
"Intern!"
Lan Chai found her this time, but he was also shocked at the moment. I didn't expect this intern to be so open-minded, and he had a lot to do with the executive.
Suddenly, Lan Chai seemed to think of something, and patted his belly, "By the way, I'm just going to look for you, since I met here, don't waste time." ”
As he spoke, he saw Lan Zhu raise his hand and make a wait gesture. Then he put his finger to his lips and whistled crisply.
As soon as the whistle sounded, a thread as thin as a silk thread floated out of his mouth, hovered in the air for a while, and then disappeared without a trace.
As the thread melted into the air, it didn't take more than a few tens of seconds. A few white birds flew from nowhere, holding several different documents in their mouths, and obediently sent them into Lan Chay's hands.
And on the document, the words 'Dongman Town' are clearly marked.
"I know that your commission has been resolved, but according to the news from the client in Winter Mantown, you and your contract spirit are suspected of setting fire to the forest after the festival is held. and wantonly destroyed their knotted ropes...... So I hope that the association will compensate, is it true? ”
Lan Chai hadn't finished speaking, but when he said the end, he could clearly see that the Rin in front of him was already about to explode at this moment.
So much so that when he finally talked about compensation, he deliberately slowed down.
Rin Clenched his fists, suppressed his anger, and roughly recounted their experience in Winter Mantown.
This group of townspeople simply took the word 'unreasonable' to the extreme, and it was clear that everything was caused by them, and now that the trouble was solved, they took a bite back.
And the reason why she is so angry is entirely because of the word 'compensation'.
Not to mention the injuries she and Talos were injured and their clothes destroyed. I obviously went to help them solve the problem, and I still wanted to deduct the money from her, impossible!
After Lan Chai heard her words, he only sighed helplessly in his heart, and secretly slandered himself, "Hey, I'm still too young." ”
I thought that the matter of Dongman Town was just a trivial matter, and the association did not plan to take it over at first. But because they frequently submit commissions, they are too pressed.
As soon as he entered the door that day, he bumped into an intern waiting in the office for a report, and he didn't think much about it in order to save some trouble, so he handed over the matter to Rin in charge.
It's just that I didn't expect that although the matter was successfully resolved, there were still some small hidden dangers left and someone caught talking.
The Xuan Xuan on the side just listened, after all, these things were normal for them as qualified envoys.
When I was a young intern, who didn't experience such and such unreasonable things.
But in the final analysis, this matter was done too casually by Lan Cha. How can there be a report on the first day of entry, and a newcomer who doesn't know anything is sent out to take on the entrusted task.
Lan Chai also knew that this matter was his fault, so he peeked at Xuan Yu and saw that the expression on his face was not too obviously dissatisfied, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, now that I already know the story. The details of the entrustment of Dongman Town, including the matter of compensation, will be handled by my side, you and this ......."
Lan Chai looked at Talos, who was standing behind Rin Rin, who had been silent.
"My name is Talos, a dignified contract spirit." Seeing Lan Chai hesitate, Talos took the initiative to speak.
"Well, then Talos, you and Rin Rin, you will go to the database first, and take care of the work over there for the time being."
As he spoke, before Rin could open his mouth to refute, he saw the birds fly again.
Only this time it wasn't he who summoned it, but the birds themselves sent it with a few documents.
Lan Zhu didn't know what to say in Xuan Xuan's ear after seeing it, and the two left together. Only Rin was left, and he didn't even have a chance to fight for himself.
On the way home, Rin Rin only felt that this commission was really a loss to his wife and soldiers.
It's not a good job to work in the database, and if you don't get it right, you may be forgotten by the team leader, and you won't have a chance to come out again. And the salary of that place is far less than that of the magic envoy who is in charge of running away.
was worried, but saw her eyes suddenly light up. Then he looked at Talos beside him, and he looked like he had some kind of idea.
