Chapter 42: I Want to Return to the Team
"It seems that they are using this place as a base these days, and they are constantly making trouble for us. Leaving the well-informed businessman, Catherine slowly put away the smile on her face that made her feel cold: "But I doubt it, they really haven't left yet?"
"Who knows. Pannis spread his hands: "Anyway, no one knows them after taking off the mask, and no one can say whether they are mixed with the thieves and gone out." Still, I don't think they're gone yet. ”
"Why is it very grinding?" Lina asked vaguely, calling out a frosted red pearl fruit in her mouth, "There must be a reason." ”
"Leaving here, it's going to be hard for them to find another place like this to base them on. "Unless they give up attacking us, or they are willing to camp out in the wilderness every day like poor thieves," Pannis explained. ”
"Don't forget what we discussed earlier, they are most likely mercenaries. Vivien retorted, "Mercenaries have long been accustomed to living in harsh conditions for long periods of time, so they can live well in the wilderness. ”
"But ability and habit are two different things. This time Catherine agreed with Pannis: "It's like we can live by nibbling on jerky and biscuits when the conditions are bad, but I don't think anyone likes you unless the conditions force us to." This is a truth, they do not need to actively run into the wilderness to suffer when there is no risk. ”
"Well, I'll admit, you have a point. Vivien nodded in agreement. The pattern of several people discussing a problem is like this, one person puts forward an opinion or opinion, and the other person tries to deliberately think in the opposite direction, looking for possible problems with the idea, and then arguing with each other to convince each other about these problems, trying to make this opinion or opinion more stable and accurate.
"I'm skeptical here. Lina was not fully convinced: "I don't know about the others, but if the fox appears in front of me, even if he takes off his mask, I have a half chance of recognizing him, as for the little rabbit." Vivien should be easy to tell. ”
"They're gone, there's no need to stay here. Pannis retorted, "So, if they leave, it's very likely that the others will stay." ”
"Agreed. "Agreed. ”
"I agree. Lina played with her long hair and said, "But." Even if we knew that they were still hiding here, it didn't make much sense, and we didn't know who it was, so they wouldn't dare to do anything here. ”
"Anyway, be careful. Catherine said, "Observe more." ”
"Well, be observant. Be observant. Lina muttered as she walked, "Sister, do we have anything to buy?"
"Of course not. Catherine said angrily: "I still have to go so far, and there are only bulk commodities here, how can I ship them back after buying them?"
"Maybe, maybe......" Lina was not discussing the problem at this time, but was completely bored and bickering, but she was suddenly stunned in the middle of speaking, and after carefully identifying it for a long time, she was tugging at Pannis's clothes: "Hey, look at that person." I'm not mistaken. ”
"Who?" Pannis followed Lina's gaze and was stunned for a moment: "Well, you read that right, it's her." ”
"This is the first time I've discovered that maybe every choice we make can change a person's ultimate fate. Lina looked at the target with some emotion: "Perhaps, the two of us didn't choose to let her follow at that time, and in a year or two, she will get married and have children, and embark on an ordinary road." ”
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with ordinary roads. Pannis said indifferently: "At least you can live this life peacefully, and you don't have to worry about which monster you will die in every day." There is no need to guess every day whether his body can be found and buried before it turns into white bones. ”
"Even if the mortality rate is high, at least she has fought brilliantly. I guess for her, that's priceless. Let's go and say hello. Lina pulled Catherine and Vivien by the way, and walked over to her target. What Lina saw was an ordinary woman with an ordinary appearance and figure, judging by the number, outfit, and strength of the companions around her. It should belong to the adventurer, and it is a combination of several relatively low-level adventure groups. Seeing that they were scattered near a small caravan, they should have been hired by this caravan from the City of Knowledge to protect them along the way. The female adventurer kept facing this side, completely unaware of the approach of the four of them, until a puzzled look appeared in her companion's eyes, and she followed her gaze to find Lina who was approaching.
"Hi, Lydia. In just a minute along the way, Lina has changed from an awkward, delicate and mischievous queen to a holy girl with a holy aura full of divine aura, and said to the female adventurer in a gentle and quiet tone: "We haven't seen you for a few months, and we are all happy to see that you are all safe." ”
"Is it the priest?" Lydia froze, seemingly returning to the time when they had fought together in Angus Village for a few months, tapping one hand on her chest like a member of the City Guard, and replied loudly, "I am also very happy. ”
"You're not a city guard anymore, you don't need to be so serious. Lina smiled softly and patted Lydia's shoulder gently: "Besides, I didn't say it a long time ago, I just went to help, just a priest, not a priest at all, why can't you change it?"
"No, in my eyes, you will always be the priest who saved my life. Lydia said seriously, "No matter how your identity and I change, this will not change. ”
"You're still the same. Lina smiled helplessly and said, "However, I am also very relieved to know that you have finally embarked on the path of an adventurer." It seems that that battle has finally made you no longer confused and find the direction of your life. ”
"Yes, sir. Lydia said firmly: "I can't stand the monotonous and ordinary life of the past, I want to live as wonderful as two adults, even if it will cost me my life." ”
"I support your determination. Lina smiled and nodded: "I hope you can go well and have the most wonderful and brilliant life." Since you have chosen an adventurer and are a nearby person, then your headquarters should be located in the City of Knowledge. ”
"Yes, but we don't have a headquarters yet. "Our team has just started, and we don't have enough funds to rent a building as a headquarters near the Holy Capital for a long time, so we can only rent a hotel temporarily during our return to the city. But now that we've completed four tasks, and public funding is slowly increasing, we should be able to have a long-term location after another seven or eight months of hard work. ”
"Great. Congratulations. Lina congratulated from the bottom of her heart: "Be sure to tell us when the time comes, and we will celebrate." ”
"Thank you, sir. Lydia said with joy on her face, "I will not forget to inform you when the time comes." ”
"By the way, our headquarters are at 6 Fox Street, and you should be able to find it in the guild information. If you have any questions in the future, you can always ask us. We'll do our best to answer your questions. Lina turned back to Catherine and asked, "Sister, it's all right." ”
"Of course. Catherine said solemnly: "Your friends are everyone's friends, and you can come to the house at any time." ”
"And what about me, what about me?" said Pannis, leaning over and pointing to his nose, "I'm going to be treated like that." ”
"You?" the girls squinted at Pannis, "if you don't sneak up to the tavern and make some messy drinking buddies." ”
"Well, forget it. Pannis tilted his head and weighed it, decisively throwing his request into the sea of mist: "It's more important to go to the tavern." ”
"Haha. Lydia covered her mouth and snickered, "Adults are funny." ”
"Alright. Work hard, and we're going to work hard. Lina made a cheering gesture to Lydia: "Come on, we'll see you in the Holy Capital in the future." ”
"Thank you, sir, I will definitely try. Lydia looked at Lina's back gratefully and said firmly.
"Haha, it's nice to inadvertently change someone else's future. After walking a distance, Lina said happily, "If I hadn't been sure whether such a change would be good or bad for the other party, maybe I would have fallen in love with this kind of behavior." ”
"It's better not to. Catherine walked beside Lina and persuaded, "Let fate decide the future." ”
"Hey, it looks like we've crossed the market. Pannis pointed to a narrow wooden wall in front of him and said, "That should be the place where they mentioned." ”
"It should be. Catherine looked at the public timer set up in the middle of the market: "There is still half an hour before the meeting time, so let's go in early and have a look." ”
Walk through a long and narrow passage. At the back is an area about the size of the market in front, which serves as a rest area for the rest of the entourage of the various caravansera. The rest area was full of tents, only in the center and at the very edge, there were a dozen or so scattered simple wooden huts, I don't know what they were used for. In the center of the rest area, there is the largest wooden house in the entire rest area, which can accommodate hundreds of people according to the area. The four of them walked into the tavern naturally. By this time it was already past lunchtime, and there were not many people in the tavern, only seven or eight guests.
"Huh. Passing by a female guest who was dining, Catherine suddenly frowned. Whispered: "Strange, this woman, I really want to see it somewhere." ”
"I'm not impressed. The other three secretly glanced at the woman at the meal, shook their heads, and said, "I shouldn't have seen it." ”
"Maybe I've met somewhere before. Catherine said uncertainly: "There are so many adventurers and mercenaries here, it is inevitable that there will be familiar faces. Forget it, go to the bar and sit down. ”
"Hi. Wait a minute. The woman behind her suddenly stopped everyone: "I actually ran into you." ”
"Who are you?" Catherine asked, turning suspiciously, "We know each other?"
"Of course. The lady stopped eating, carefully wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and then said with a strange smile, "I want to return to the team." (To be continued.) )
