Chapter 29: Eat a meal
The caravan that left yesterday was intercepted halfway by Wayne's faction, and it took a whole day just to awaken consciousness and correct memory.
The mention of the extraordinary people called in this operation, as well as the number of people involved and the losses caused, almost frightened the merchants to faint again.
Contrary to the collapse of the merchants, many of the extraordinary people who participated in the mission for the first time and won the first victory seemed to be more excited, and they felt like they were in the aftermath of the disaster.
Wayne closed the thick taskbook and smiled, "Don't be nervous, that's what I said." ”
"There is a fee for summoning the extraordinary, and everyone's time is precious, so I hope you will listen to me."
"The reparations provided by the caravan are only a small part, most of the mission compensation comes mainly from the Griffon Empire and the Snowy Fortress, read the mission report to you, so that you know how it happened, because you need to sign these terms......"
The businessmen actively cooperated and entered the signing session with stiff smiles.
Ke Li and the others sat aside, and after a night's rest and washing, each other's mental condition seemed to be fine.
The suspicious elements who wear armor all day long are still old virtues, and it seems that they have long been accustomed to playing in masks.
As a thug, there was no task to hand over and report, just to sit in and confirm the credit.
However, Wayne felt that in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, he still had to make things clear in public.
After getting the merchant done, Wayne walked over with a piece of paper covered in metal patterns:
"Mr. Ke Li of the Demon Sequence, I heard from your peers that you did a good job this time, and you accounted for the main credit in the mission."
"As the representative of the Mammoth Horn Guard, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you, and the fact that this is a title deed that allows you to get a matching storefront and house in Mammothhorn. It's not as good as real estate in the capital of the empire, but it's still an extra income, don't you think? ”
Ke Li raised his head and took it politely: "Then can I say that your trick is a straightforward and effective means of wooing?" ”
Wayne: "yes, just like the gun shop you've visited, everyone has come from strange to familiar. ”
"The front door is a business shop, the middle is a transitional and sheltered yard, and the rear mansion can meet the needs of daily living. It's not the most luxurious type, but it's hard to get tired of traveling on a wooden cart all day long, right? ”
Ke Li stroked the title deed in his hand, making the metal and ink even drier: "So, what am I going to pay for this contract?" Money or freedom? ”
"Hahaha! Then you must be mistaken! We're not like churches, clubs, or things like that, we just work together. Wayne squinted and smiled, and the owl on his shoulder had the same expression.
"It's already a great cooperation for extraordinary people in our country to be able to do business according to the rules, no one can force you, and no one else can force you."
"If there are good customers or large orders, we will definitely give priority to cooperating with you, and we will definitely not treat you badly."
Ke Li weighed the pros and cons before agreeing to do business on other people's turf, you can't jump too much, and if you want to refuse, you can leave with an excuse, and this title deed should be accepted.
Wayne: "By the way, I heard you say before that you originally planned to return to the Griffon Empire, but it just so happens that the envoy of the empire has not left this time, and it must be safer to have the Extraordinary One with you, so what are you going to do now?" ”
The beast-faced helmet of the demon sequence said, "Ke Li is a demon sequence, so it is inevitable that he needs to go to the Brave Hunt Church headquarters to seek a potion or ritual for the promotion of the sequence, right?" There is an excellent performance in combat, as long as you complete some simple tasks, you can join the church, and you can get these relatively steadily. ”
Ke Li smiled and refused: "Thank you for the invitation, but I haven't been long since I became an extraordinary, I want to grasp the power in my hand first, so as not to have the hidden danger of getting out of control after forcibly promoting the sequence." ”
The beast face helmet of the demon sequence was not happy or angry, only a pair of red eyes were exposed: "It's okay, there's no need to worry. ”
"I'll be in Mammoth Horn for a while, and if you change your mind, you can come to the Lions Avalon Club to find me."
"My name is Shierhan, Demon Sequence 16, you can find me if you don't understand the basics."
Enzo crossed his arms, judging from the dark blue armor lining, he must have a new armor to change and spare: "The characteristics of Ilaud and the Evil God's dependents will be brought back to the Imperial Emissary, and the barbarians will take care of their own affairs, we can relax now after the mission is over, are you interested in organizing an expedition to investigate the fog of history?" ”
Flanders: "The islands are not finished surveying and marking, and the fog of history is not a safe place, and I need to take the time to try new ideas, which should not be possible in the near future." ”
Enzo crossed his arms and turned his helmet: "Speaking of which...... Mr. Colley, now that you are famous in Mammoth Horn and have been known by many people overnight, don't you have anything to say? ”
Ke Li thought for a while and held back for a few seconds before saying, "Why don't I invite everyone to a barbecue restaurant for a celebration banquet?" ”
Mary changed into clothes full of exotic folk characteristics: "Mr. Enzo doesn't mean that, it's just that everyone wants to know more about you, and wants to make friends with you and have an in-depth chat with you." ”
"For example, why Mr. Collie, as a newcomer to Sequence 18, can have such keen insight and acting ability, and whether there is any inspiration or knowledge to share or sell in this regard, and everyone at the usual small extraordinaire gatherings is also talking about these things."
"This ......" Ke Li really has nothing to say: who would be stupid enough to open the secret, it is an abnormal sequence, and it is a gem secret realm, and the whole system is different from the orthodox demon sequence.
Thinking of this, Ke Li politely refused: "I am willing to share my experience about playing the law, please don't inquire about my personal matters......"
The extraordinary people present sat more or less slightly in their postures, listening carefully to Ke Li's explanation.
Mary was confused: not only to substitute herself, but also to play others, but also to find flaws and secrets, completely ununderstood!
The topic seemed to be the beginning of her, so she had to divert the topic to avoid embarrassment: "Speaking of which, isn't Demon Sequence No. 18 the most common of the Prisoner of Perdition, isn't Mr. Colli's sequence this?" Revealing the sequence is also convenient for collecting potions? ”
Shierhan helped Ke Li explain two sentences: "There are many branches of the demon sequence, and it is normal to be different. ”
Mary whispered, and the grumbling of the first meeting returned: "I just ask......"
So a group of extraordinary people looked at Ke Li again, and Ke Li had no choice but to sweat and be speechless, scolding in his heart why this topic came again.
Enzo finally couldn't help but pull Mary: "Mary, your bad problems have started again!" It's because you're like this every time that those aliens write a lot of complaint letters on Wayne's side, and don't keep asking if others don't want to say it. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Mary hid her face to adjust her emotions, but she didn't understand the point, she was still too excited, and she seemed to be even worse.
"Wait, maybe I guessed it!" Between the lightning and the fire, Mary's eyes flashed with inspiration.
Mary clenched her fists confidently and looked at Colley with burning eyes: "According to the analysis and judgment of the acting method and various rules, Mr. Colley is embarrassed to reveal it secretly, and he can't figure out the characteristics of this demon sequence......"
"It's a succubus! Right! ”
These words were so loud that the extraordinary people present were stunned, and then some people couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker, and their eyes changed.
"Hey, if you think about it, I think Colley is quite a gentleman......
"Ahem, it's, the demon sequence has become not very famous because it can't avoid this situation......"
"If that's the case, it's understandable that I'm reluctant to reveal it, but it's a little ...... when I think about the role of digestive characteristics."
Ke Li was shocked, and his heart shook: This woman, didn't she just borrow a leather armor jacket, so resentful!
It must be taking the opportunity to take revenge, how can a normal person have a brain circuit that you can't hit with your eight poles!
But this kind of thing is just getting darker and darker, and it's better to say nothing at all than to explain it desperately.
Mary became more and more embarrassed the more she spoke: "Well, I'm sorry, I just want to liven up the atmosphere, if I don't like it, I won't say it again." ”
The atmosphere was really weird, and Mary managed to create a cold scene, which embarrassed everyone, not wanting to mention the humiliating heckle just now.
After the strange silence, Shierhan, who was also puzzled, took the initiative to say:
"If it's really a succubus trait, both men and women need it, and as a member of the same kind and the church, I can help you get it too."
Now it was Mary's turn and the others to look upset: don't say this kind of thing publicly! Your demon sequence is really messy!
Maybe these extraordinary people have a different definition of acquaintances, and think that after fighting together, they can talk about everything at the party?
Ke Li had to control his expression and forcibly change the topic: "Speaking of which, what will we eat when we stay?" ”
The abruptness of this turn is the same as exclaiming that a dragon is flying in the sky and tricking everyone to look up.
Mary immediately answered with a weak heart: "It's rare to participate in a combat mission, of course you have to celebrate!" ”
"Monsieur Flanders knows a lot of food, too!"
Flanders came back to his senses from his daze: "I'm sorry, I'm thinking about something...... Maybe you really have to unravel the mythical fog of history. ”
The other extraordinaries were not members of the club, and they didn't want to force a conversation after the cold incident, so they simply started talking about inconsequential everyday topics.
Wayne then said, "Eat open, we'll pay." ”
The Imperial Emissary stood up and verified the proofreading contract with Wayne face to face: "Then this mission is over, and the cooperation is pleasant." ”
Wayne accepted the contract with satisfaction: "Okay, everyone wait a minute, we will send someone to be responsible for delivering the food, whatever you want to eat is on the menu, write it on the wooden board and hand it to the maid!" ”
During the meal, the characteristics of the demon sequence's large appetite were undoubtedly revealed, and there was no need to deliberately hide this aspect.
Because Flender, Enzo, and Shierhan ate the same lot, it didn't make Colly look too abrupt.
It's just that they also unhooked a small piece of the helmet trap during the meal, and when they ate with the helmet, they ate almost facelessly the whole time.
Maybe others don't have such a convenient training plan as the Gem Secret Realm, and on the premise of knowing how to play, they have to spend a lot of time and energy to master the extraordinary characteristics, so the armor never leaves their bodies.
It's just that the feeling of being forced to make friends is not very comfortable, and being too cautious will lead to cowardice, and Ke Li can only find a way to adapt to these situations as soon as possible.
If there are too many people, you can't control the scene, others are not marionettes, and small frictions cannot be avoided.
At the end of the celebration banquet, Flanders suddenly asked, "Ke Li, after the dinner, will you go to the hot spring with us to take a bath?" ”
Mary was a little embarrassed, but she raised her knife and fork alertly, staggered it to her chest, and said, "Wait a minute, it's not a mixed bath, is it?" ”
Flanders glanced at her and smiled, "I think...... No one should force you, everyone is a serious gentleman. ”
Mary first breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the gown in frustration, thinking that she should find an opportunity to apologize.
Joke big failure.
Today, I said the wrong thing several times in a row, but I just shut up, and all the people present were extraordinary, so as not to cause trouble for a while.
Hearing the bath, Ke Li briefly froze, and then made a euphemistic excuse: "Sorry, I have arrangements, I want to move first and confirm the location of the title deed." The business of opening a store can't be delayed, and there is still a chance to talk about bathing and the like. ”
"Haha, speaking of which, I'm also a victim in the caravan, and I was directly bankrupt by the runaway thing, and I can't make money if I don't make money, so you're welcome to visit when the time comes."
The atmosphere finally found a step to ease, barely chatting all the way, which made Wayne and Owl sweat: the difference between the extraordinary is very big, the personalities and language habits do not match, and it is really scary to forcibly pull together for a party.
If someone wants to keep a low profile, they should try to avoid this dangerous way of chatting.
"Ah, that's a bit of a pity, we're leaving today, or I'd love to see your craft."
"The quality of the Flanders workshop is also good, you can stay a few more days and buy a weapon at hand."
"Haha, then you have to apply for reimbursement."
During the small talk, Ke Li gradually withdrew from the center of the topic, and the topic was no longer about the details and methods of dealing with the out-of-control, but more about the Mammoth Horn.
However, Enzo was very hardworking, talking about the details of the battle, which attracted attention.
is worthy of being a sword and shield knight, pulling the monster and taunting is a hand, and the atmosphere is not right to help immediately, and the topic has not developed to the extent of a collective black face.
Of course, Ke Li won't take it too seriously, and he needs confidence to do his own thing.
"Hey, don't you guys who wear full-body armor all day long, aren't you going to take it off?"
"It's acting, do you want to give it a try too?" Enzo replied earnestly.
"I'm not kidding you, this time it involves the confidential issue of the mission operation, we will set off alone, may the moonlight lead the way!"
