"Well said." Before Gauss could speak, a very magnetic mature female voice came from outside the broken door, "This is the most satisfying sentence I have heard today." ”

A tall figure walked into the tavern with the voice.

Although this woman is not particularly beautiful, she is very attractive, with long maroon wavy hair, a tall figure with ups and downs, a faint smell of wine on her body, and a mature charm in her slightly blurred eyes, especially the most conspicuous long legs, slender and powerful, which is difficult to forget.

"Sorry, please wait." Seeing the woman who intruded, Gauss nodded to Babu and apologized, then turned his head and asked bluntly, "Captain Monica, why is there no edge shock warning?" ”

"What edge shock?" The woman known as Monica was stunned and glanced at the stump on the ground before reacting, "Oh, the vigilantes. That ring was brought back by us the day before yesterday, and it is estimated that it was stolen by him before we went back to the headquarters to sort out the harvest, and there was no place to purify it and we didn't wait for the time limit for natural purification. As for why there was no warning...... Quite simply, because there is simply no edge oscillation above level 3. ”

"Huh?"

"Literally, the shock just now was only one level, and the situation was weird, it started and ended without warning, very suddenly. However, it is fortunate that it ended abruptly and directly cut off the source of pollution, otherwise these parts would not be so honest without purification. Boots kicked the body at his feet, and Monica explained, "I came right away because of the strange situation, or I would have been drinking in the team." I now suspect that this time it might have something to do with some movement on the edge. ”

"What's the change?"

"I haven't been to the edge, and you can't understand what I said." Monica lazily shook her hair and began to seriously examine the stump on the ground, not bothering the group of laymen around.

Captain Gauss sighed habitually, and finally turned his attention back to Babu's body, bent down and took off his gloves, and stretched out his right hand to Babu: "Sorry, I've waited for a long time, how is it, has your leg recovered, can you stand up?" ”

This attitude...... Forget it, anyway, it's not a big hatred, it's just a small contradiction, Babu smiled, held the other party's hand and stood up, stretched his right leg, and the joints that had been connected had already returned to normal.

"Mr. Babu, since you have recovered, allow me to formally apologize to you." Gauss took a step back and bowed again with his hand on his chest, "You have proved with practical actions that my previous views were biased and that I was wrong. I retract my previous evaluation, the door of the garrison is always open to you, and we welcome you to join us at any time. ”

Babu knew that, unlike the popular security forces, the garrison regiment, although there were only about thirty people, was the backbone of the town's defense. They are usually very idle, do not work much, only encounter foreign enemies or emergencies need to face danger, in comparison to the income is very high, and in the town is very respected, if you want to understand the world through this body, the garrison is indeed a good choice, at least it is better than the original little Babu except to go out to do odd jobs is to stay at home and make a living.

Squinting his eyes to reveal the usual smile of his previous life, Babu was about to open his mouth to agree, but was interrupted by a sudden word.

"Hey, Gauss, I've heard." After inspecting the scene, Monica was muttering something to the rescued Jessica, probably understanding the situation at the time, and suddenly interrupted, "You have already rejected him once, you knights should be honest, you can't just change, so now he is a member of our scavenging team." ”

Ha? Everyone, including Babu, looked strange, and the woman's remarks were so sudden that people didn't know what to make for a moment.

But Monica didn't care, she strode up to the Báb, did not shy away at all, put her arms around the shoulders of the Báb, and dragged the Báb into the corner, while saying to Gauss: "I want to whisper a few words to the little Báb, your chivalry will not allow you to eavesdrop, Gauss." ”

Even Gauss couldn't maintain a solemn and solemn expression, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, but fortunately there was a sudden commotion outside the tavern, and Gauss simply turned his attention there, pretending not to see Monica's cheating behavior.

It was a follow-up support that came on foot, and in addition to a few members of the garrison, some of the people who had fled before also rushed back, including the strong men who had fought with Babu before, and it seemed that they were not simply fleeing, at least they were thinking of reporting the news.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fuss, Monica dragged Babula into a corner where no one was around, but Babu didn't resist, but just looked at Monica with strange eyes on the way.

Because after being embraced, in addition to the hard and soft touch and the obvious smell of ale, Babu also smelled a special smell, which he had just smelled a few times not long ago, a strange sweet and fishy smell, and looked sideways at the woman beside him, under the light of the beating fire around her, her body was indeed shrouded in a faint layer of redness, which seemed to be real and real.

In the corner, Monica finally let go of Babu's regret, faced him head-on, and whispered, "I don't want to stop you from joining the garrison, it's much safer than our scavenging team, but...... Help me, at least for this time. ”

"Huh?" Babu doesn't know why, but suddenly notices Monica's eyes. It's night, and she actually wears light makeup, but even so, it can't hide the dark circles on her face and the deep tiredness in her eyes, "How long have you not slept yet?" ”

"It's been three days, and I haven't slept since I came back from the last time I picked up waste." Monica's previous laziness and indifference had disappeared, and she sighed tiredly, "Where can I sleep, I suspect that the edge of Thortown may have given birth to a secondary node, that ......"

"Wait, secondary node?" Confused, the Báb asked, "What's that?" ”

"Huh? You don't know? This time it was Monica's turn to be stunned, and subconsciously looked around, making sure that there was really no one else around, "Or do you have any concerns?" ”

Of course I don't know, I just know that you probably misunderstood something. But Babu didn't speak directly, but looked at Monica with a meaningful smile and was silent.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you know or not, I don't care what background you have, I can pretend I don't know what you want to hide, what you want to disguise, I can also fully cooperate, as long as you don't have too much malice towards the town, I don't care about these, I just ask you to help me." Monica's tone was very sincere, "It's hard to explain that the secondary node is not on the scene, in short, there are some anomalies inside the edge, if you leave it alone, the threat to Thortown will become bigger and bigger, and the current space where Thor Town is located may be completely swallowed by the edge, and then it won't be as simple as a few phantom beasts polluted by phantom energy, maybe you have a way to protect yourself, but the rest of the town, no one can escape, everyone will die." ”

Babu still didn't understand it, but this time he could guess it by guessing, so he asked in a flat tone, "So what?" This should be a question for you powerful bigwigs, I'm still an inconspicuous ordinary townsman, and these have ...... with me."

"I don't really like this boring town, it's boring to live the same life, including Gauss's stone-like man, and it's especially disgusting. But let me watch it go to ruin, I still can't do it. Monica interrupted Babu, "What about you?" Can you do it? ”

"Look over there, Jayne, I don't think I bullied you a lot in normal times, but tonight not only made you make a fool of yourself in public, but also punched you hard. Jessica, not only was she Jayne's lover before, but she likes to see you laugh when it's okay. In addition, that old guy sings ugly and doesn't speak, and he always cheats and cheats everywhere because of his age, which is particularly disgusting. ”

"It's these people, it's annoying to think of it, but you think that maybe one day they will all suddenly die, completely disappear from your life, and never see them again, do you really bear it?"

Of course I can't bear it. Babu wanted to answer, but he didn't know if it was the residual memories of his body that were at work, and he only felt a throb in his chest, and he couldn't say a word.

"Look, you can't bear it, otherwise you wouldn't have risked facing the Phantom Beast alone and desperately trying to save that Jessica." Monica smiled faintly, with a bit of tenderness in her smile, "So, help me, help Sol Town." ”

"Well, give me a reason." Plungingly patted his head hard, Babu said distressedly, "Tell me why you're looking for me, I'm just an ordinary townsman, don't say anything You've noticed my nonsense, this is the first time I've spoken to you." ”

"Oh?" Monica's eyes lit up, and her smile revealed joy: "Among the people who escaped, there was a peripheral helper of our scavenging team, and he informed me tonight." He told me in detail about the situation at the time of the incident, and you were the first to notice that the man was contaminated and mutated. And from the time calculation, it was discovered very early, and it is impossible for the vast majority of people to sense the changes in the phantom energy pollution so early, and only a very small number of professionally trained people can do it, well, including me, I can't do it. ”

"This kind of person is the most scarce observer in all the waste picking teams, and our team, since the last observer died last year, has been replacing me, but my sensing ability is too far away to deal with this problem, and I can't even be sure. Fortunately, I discovered your existence in time, and you can rest assured that the conditions that the garrison group can give you will not be less, and I can even meet most of your reasonable requirements. I just ask you to cooperate with me to help the town through this crisis, and we can discuss the rest later. ”

"It's a real headache, let me state first, I want an income above the standard, my Anna hasn't eaten meat for a long time." Babu looked reluctant, "So, what do you need me to do?" How can I help you? ”

"Hey, easy." Monica obviously let go of some of her thoughts, and returned to her previous lazy and casual look, patted Babu on the shoulder hard, and said with a big grin, "You and I, the two of us go to the edge, I need to make a preliminary confirmation before I can arrange a follow-up plan." ”

"Huh? Just you and me? The edge is dangerous. The corners of Babu's eyes jumped, and his body's memory did prompt him like this, "No one else?" ”

"It's dangerous, but ......," Monica asked rhetorically, "I asked Jessica just now, and she briefly told me about the process of your sneak attack on the Phantom Beast, that thing relies on the instinctive reaction to the breath of life, unless you cover all the breath of life with source energy, it is impossible to fool him." ”

Babu nodded, after several failed attempts to interfere with the monster's perception, he did have a flash of inspiration, trying to wrap himself with that strange energy, completely isolating the interaction with the outside world's qi machine, it was not a simple holding of the breath, it was much more complicated.

"This is a very professional and complex skill, which must be mastered after long-term training, but it is not something that can be learned by just someone patting their heads, so you ......" Monica immediately waved her hand, "Forget it, I promised that I didn't see anything and didn't know, in short, we have to sneak in to understand the situation, not to confront it head-on, and the scavenging team counts the seven of you, only you and I will have this skill." ”

"Okay, okay." Babu still looked reluctant, but there was a thirst for excitement and adventure in his heart, "I'll promise you for the time being, when are we going?" ”

"Now, of course." Monica grabbed Babu's hand and ran out, shouting as she ran, "Gauss, borrow a horse from your garrison, the rest will be left to you, let's go first, hahaha." ”

"Hey, hey, you're normal." Babu was dragged all the way to trot, "I've just faced a phantom, phantom, phantom beast, it's too much for me to fight continuously, and how can I enter the danger zone so late, do you have a little common sense?" ”

"Don't worry, with me watching, as long as I'm alive, nothing will happen to you." Monica ran even happier, "Time waits for no one, the sooner you decide, the better, if you can't be sure, I won't be able to sleep tonight." ”

"But I can sleep, hey, listen to people......" So, with a curious face, Babu said a word of protest and followed very cooperatively, and climbed on his horse and walked away.
