Chapter 112: The Princess of Eden (9)
On the crowded streets, Jiang Ling silently followed behind LΓ©on Friedrich, as usual. She secretly looked at the back in front of her, worried in her heart.
Of the people invited by Hinata, they were the only ones who did not sign the guild application form. However, this is not because of refusal, but because Leon hesitated. And this is far more worrying to Jiang Ling than a rejection.
After getting along for more than half a year, Jiang Ling followed Leon to join one team after another, and left one after another. For those teams, Leon can enter if he wants, and leave if he wants, very simply, but he hesitated in the face of Li Mengxi's guild.
Jiang Ling doesn't think that this is due to the difference between "teams" and "guilds". Leon was afraid, afraid that if he joined now, one day he would leave the guild like he did with those teams. However, if he didn't join now, Jiang Ling felt that he might regret it forever.
Why, do you have to follow him all the time? Why, do you have to follow him all the time?
Asking herself three times in a row, Jiang Ling mobilized the strength of her whole body. It was a matter of great courage for Jiang Ling to put forward her opinion to Leon, but if she was afraid of losing now, she would lose even more.
With this thought at this point, Jiang Ling finally made up her mind. She quickened her pace, overtook Leon, stopped in front of him, and turned. The body under the clothes was trembling slightly, but she still raised her head to face the other person.
changed the weakness and pity of the past, and replaced it with fortitude. It was also the first time Leon had seen Jiang Ling show this expression, and after a brief moment of surprise, he asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
"I think ......"
No, you can't talk to him in that tone.
Thinking like this, Jiang Ling closed her mouth, her silver teeth clenched, and at this moment she forced herself to give up her cowardice and be brave.
"You should join them!"
"Give me a reason?"
"Here's your chance!"
"My chance?"
"Hmm! a chance for you to be no longer lonely. β
"I've never felt lonely. β
"You're lying! I've been watching you, and every time I see it, it's lonely!"
"Huh. Leon laughed mockingly, "After only half a year, you think you know me." β
"It's not half a year, it's five years. β
As soon as the words came out, Leon couldn't help but be shocked.
"Five years?
"You keep asking me why I'm following you. I'll tell you why now. Jiang Ling simply decided to say everything, "In reality, five years ago, when I made my online debut at the age of ten. The first live broadcast was not a success, and many people reprimanded me, saying that I was just plagiarizing, that I was old-fashioned, and that only one person was willing to speak for me. He scolded the accusers of me in a terrific tone, 'stupid'. When I heard you say that that night aboard the Argo, my instincts told me that it was you. β
As she spoke, Jiang Ling smiled embarrassedly.
"If, I'm mistaken, forgive me. Then I will promise not to pester you again. β
"Nope. Leon replied in a deep voice, "However, at that time, I was just hanging out on the Internet, by the way. β
"Five years by the way?"
"You ......"
"I've been watching you, Leon. Even though we're separated by the virtual barrier, I can't help but look at you. To me at the age of ten, you are the hero. But I'm gradually discovering that you are a lonely hero. You were always the first to enter my live broadcast room and occasionally speak for me, but you never communicated with anyone, even me. It's like you're sitting alone in the front row at a concert, not shouting, not cheering, just listening. You're lonely, Leon. After half a year of getting along, I know why. You're different, you're so much better than the people we've teamed up with. You can't find where you belong. I tried to get close to you, but I couldn't. But Li Mengxi is different! In the past six months, you have said 'stupid' after every time you formed a team, but only that night, on the Argo, you did not say it. They are your kind, and you can't miss them. I've been following you so that one day I can help you just like this time now, just like you helped me at that time!"
After listening to Jiang Ling's heartfelt words, Leon let out a sigh of relief.
"That night, in Li Mengxi's team, I did feel unprecedented comfort. But that's not as you say, because we're of the same kind. You are wrong, Jiang Ling, from the first time I saw him, I understood that there was no such thing as that person in this world. Maybe I'm a much, much taller mountain than everyone else, but that person is Everest. In front of him, we are all just as ordinary. For the first time in front of him, I felt like I was like everyone else. β
"So, Leon, why didn't you sign?"
"I'm scared. Because no one is perfect. If he's not Everest, what should I do?"
"I know, but ...... I'm not telling you this like I am anymore, so why can't you just have the courage to try it?"
Leon didn't speak again, he just stared straight into Jiang Ling's eyes. Soon, the girl began to be overwhelmed, and after a moment of courage, she changed back to her normal self.
Jiang Ling staggered her gaze, her hands fiddling with each other.
"I'm sorry, I said too much. β
"Hehe, hahahaha......" At this moment, Leon laughed, "You're right, I should try." β
"Then, let's go back!" Jiang Ling said with a beaming heart.
"Well, do you think they'll still be in that private room? It only takes more than five people to form a guild, and they should have already gone to the guild hall to get the test mission. β
......
As LΓ©on Friedrich said, Li Mengxi did say that he would wait for Leon's reply, but why not submit an application to the guild hall first and receive the test task?
So, after coming out of the private room of the Yan Shan Pavilion, everyone divided into two ways under the guidance of the idea of "without further ado", and the boys went to the guild hall to get the task back.
The girls went to the weapons and equipment store in the West District together to buy a new set of equipment for Xun Hui, who mortgaged all the equipment to the Twilight Lin. Emily, who didn't deal with Naine Hinata, didn't plan to go with her, but considering the future relationship, Hephaestus ordered her to go along.
While further discussing the specific details of the battle guild that Li Mengxi wanted to create for the purpose of intelligence gathering, the group of five boys headed towards the north gate and soon arrived at the guild hall.
They walked in through the main entrance, and as they walked towards the guild application window, an overjoyed voice suddenly came from the corner.
"Jie, why are you back!"
When Igarashi heard a familiar voice, he naturally stopped and looked at him, and what he saw was the brown-skinned girl NPC Barrete Esis.
"Oh! what a sexy girl. Clark whistled and said playfully to Igarashi Suke.
"It's surprising that you know women. Hephaestus also fanned the flames.
Zongjin is still silent, and Li Mengxi is much more serious than these two people.
"Your friend?"
"No, it's just a pestering NPC. Igarashi said something that made the others a little baffled, and took a few steps forward to meet him.
"You're really useless. β
Hearing this, Barriet immediately froze, and then became coquettish.
"As soon as we met, you said that!"
"It's a fact. Nearly two hours have passed, and you still haven't found anyone back with you?"
"I can't help it! There are a lot of helpless places, anyway, logging in first became a guild test task, but they said that the time is not guaranteed. Barriet said with a frustrated look, "I'm in trouble right now. Do you have a good idea?"
"It's none of the business with me. β
"You're really ruthless! We've been traveling together for almost a week, haven't we? It's the relationship between riding that horse called something!"
It seems that this girl does have a little friendship with Igarashi Suke, so Li Mengxi interjected at this time.
"Excuse me, can you excuse me?"
Hearing the voice, Barrett shifted her attention.
"It's okay, but who are you?"
"General. Igarashi replied simply.
"General?" said Barrett, surprised, "what a strange name." β
"No, it's not my name. Li Mengxi explained with an embarrassed face, "My name is Li Mengxi." β
"I see, I'm sorry. My name is Barriet Isis. After apologizing and saying hello, Barriet glared at Igarashi dissatisfied, but was perfectly ignored.
"You said you just applied for a test mission, can you tell me the details?"
"Will you come back to the village with me?" replied Barrett, her eyes lit up.
"Then I'll have to wait until I've heard the specifics. β
"No, you promise me before I can tell you what it is!"
Hearing Barriet say this, Li Mengxi looked at the others.
"What do you think?"
"You decide, I have no objection. Clarke, who has a headache about weighing the pros and cons, said.
Then, Hephaestus also said, "This incident sounds interesting, anyway, we have to do a test mission, there is nothing wrong with it." β
Of course, Sokin had an opinion with Hephaestus, so only the last Igarashi was left.
"The Admiral decides. He said.
After listening to everyone's opinions, Li Mengxi turned around and nodded to Barrett.
"As Miss Isis says, we promise you. β
