Chapter 115: The Princess of Eden (12)
With the finger pressed gently, the interface of the phone also "cracked" and closed in front of the eyes. Then, Li Mengxi looked up at his companions who were waiting on the side.
"Nayin said that they are just done over there, so let's go directly to the Shan Pavilion to meet them. β
"Is it the Pavilion again?" Hephaestus asked at once, "is it there at noon?" You seem to like that place quite a bit, is there any special reason?"
"It's nothing special, it's just a habit. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. It's just something like this that has something to do with everyone, and I hope you can discuss it with us a little bit next time, aren't we going to be companions? β
With a casual sudden, Hephaestus took the lead in taking a step towards the exit of the guild hall, and the general secretary of Zongjin silently followed as usual without saying a word.
Looking at the backs of the two, Igarashi Suke said very unhappily, "Make a big fuss." β
"Hmm. Clark nodded in agreement, "It's just a meeting place, so why take it so seriously." β
"Nope. I owe him a debt of gratitude. Li Mengxi smiled a little introspectively, "Hephaestus is reminding me that since I want to be a partner in the same guild, I should consider everyone's feelings in everything. Sorry, I'm actually not very good at interpersonal relationships. β
"Don't say that, I'm not very good at it. Clark hurriedly said, "Sometimes I say the wrong thing, and it's all an afterthought, and I need everyone to take care of it in the future." β
"I'm the general's knife, and the knife has no opinion. As he said indifferently, Igarashi took a step. Relatively speaking, if one person in the same camp moves, everyone follows.
"Does that guy have that attitude towards the people he serves?" asked as Barriet approached Li Mengxi as she walked.
"That, Miss Isis. Li Mengxi said with some embarrassment, "Although Igarashi calls me 'General', in fact, my relationship with him is not the master's and slave', and I don't have that kind of expectation, so it's good that everyone is an equal companion." β
"Yes. Still, I always thought that guy wouldn't have any friends. β
Although he knew that this sentence had nothing to do with him, as a person whose friend list was almost equal to 0, Li Mengxi still felt like he was stuck in his throat, so he had to laugh dryly twice.
Walking out of the guild hall, Hephaestus and Zongjin, who were one step ahead, did not go far. But the two of them are not just waiting for the people behind.
Li Mengxi followed the directions of their gaze and unexpectedly saw two figures approaching from a distance along the street - LΓ©on Friedrich and Jiang Ling.
After a brief moment of surprise, he greeted them with a smile.
After the two sides stood face to face, Li Mengxi was the first to ask, "Have you already thought about it?"
"Ahh It's okay to play with you for the time being. Leon also laughed.
"I, too, joined. Jiang Ling said weakly behind Leon.
"Thank you. β
While listening to Li Mengxi's words, Leon also looked at the people not far behind him. Then he said in surprise: "You've followed all here." β
Li Mengxi looked back curiously along Leon's gaze, and Jiang Ling's voice sounded in his ears: "Long time no see, Miss Isis." β
"Do you know?" So, Li Mengxi asked.
"Met once at the pyramids, and heard Igarashi say that she is an NPC?"
"Hmm. Li Mengxi nodded, "We have already taken her commission as a test task." β
"Yes. Where did those three girls go? Does it have anything to do with this?"
"Nope. They went to help Miss Xun Hui buy equipment. We are now about to go back to the Pavilion to meet us. β
"In that case, let's go. With that, Leon turned and walked away.
Seeing this, Jiang Ling showed a slightly apologetic expression to Li Mengxi. She also felt that it was a bit inappropriate for the two of her new joiners to take the lead, but she still followed Leon without saying anything.
In this regard, Li Mengxi didn't have much opinion, and turned around with a smile and shrugged his shoulders to everyone.
So, although everyone has their own opinions, everyone has also moved.
In this way, Li Mengxi's group left the guild hall and embarked on the journey back to the restaurant of Yan Shan Pavilion. At the same time, Naon Hinata and the others also came out of the store in the West Ward and headed for the East Ward.
About half an hour later, everyone met in the hall on the first floor of the Yan Shan Pavilion.
Everyone sat around the long square table, first announcing the official joining of Leon and Jiang Ling, and then finally it was time to talk about the first priority.
"Miss Isis, can you tell us what exactly you want to commission us with?"
Li Mengxi looked at Barrett, who happened to be sitting opposite, and asked.
"Actually, my village is facing a big crisis right now. Barriet couldn't help but show a little sadness as she spoke, "I implore you nobles to help me save my village!"
As she spoke, she bowed her head deeply.
"It's a matter of course. Igarashi Suke, who was sitting to the right of Barrett, said faster than anyone else.
Hearing this, Barriet suddenly raised her head and cast a surprised glance at him. But what Igarashi Suke said next made the girl's expression very subtle, and she didn't know whether to thank or complain.
"The formalities have been completed. Now, if we want to form a guild, we have to complete the tasks you have given. It doesn't matter if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire. Therefore, instead of earning other people's tears, you should quickly explain which village it is, what the crisis is, and what you want us to do. β
"That's right. Leon replied.
Suddenly, the atmosphere of the scene was as if it had fallen into an ice cave - cold, very cold.
Whether it is Igarashisuke's statement or Leon Friedrich's response, neither of them is wrong, but it should be said that they are quite rational and correct judgments. But because it's too wise, it's a bit impersonal.
In this regard, Li Mengxi had to smile awkwardly at Barrett: "Yes, I'm sorry, Miss Isis." β
"No, it doesn't matter. Barriet smiled awkwardly as she raised her hand and pointed at Igarashi beside her. "This guy is right. β
After laughing, she immediately regained the melancholy on her face.
"I come from a small village in the middle of the Mirage Desert, called Eden. β
"Eden?" Xun Hui blurted out in surprise, "Could it be that your village has anything to do with that Eden Oasis?"
"Hmm. My village is near the Oasis of Eden. β
"That ......" Hinata Naine also realized something at this time and asked, "Is it possible, this matter has something to do with the third apostle, Phoenix?"
"Well, do you all know!" Barriet asked, surprised, scanning everyone's expressions with her gaze.
"If it is the existence of Phoenix, believe all the players, no, there should be no one among the nobles who does not know. Li Mengxi deliberately used the title of NPC to explain, "But what does this have to do with your village?"
"My village has relied on the Oasis of Eden as its main source of water for a long time. But now that Phoenix has taken over the oasis as a habitat, it's no longer possible for us to get water from there. In the desert, water is an indispensable resource, without which my village would be destroyed!"
"Wait a minute!" Hephaestus interjected, "Miss NPC, you're not asking us to go on a crusade against Phoenix, are you?"
"Hmm!" Barriet nodded solemnly.
"What a joke!" Emily beside Hephaestus immediately shouted, "Do you know how many monsters it takes to deal with a level boss!
"That's not the point. Li Mengxi frowned and said.
"Hmm. Hinata Naine also nodded with an embarrassed face, "After all, there is a strategy alliance, so you shouldn't have to worry about manpower." However, wanting to bring down Phoenix ......"
"It's not enough to be a simple guide. To destroy the Immortals, you must have a key item. Xun Hui, who knew the inside story, also sighed and said.
"Well, I know. Barriet said disapprovingly, immediately attracting the attention of the three insiders. "For generations, there has been a secret in our village that only the village chief can know, which is used to guide adventurers who want to defeat Phoenix to find the only secret treasure that can kill this apostle, and that is ice crystal chalcedony. β
"What!" Hinata Nayin and Xun Hui suddenly exclaimed together.
Li Mengxi's heart was also pleasantly surprised, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
What does that ancient Chinese poem say?
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.
