【Task Log:

Obtain quest materials from Purple Ponytail: 0/1;

FIND NONO AND CONVINCE HER TO DO FINE MACHINING: 0/1;]

But where are these two people now? Lin only knows that about two days ago, Miss Purple Ponytail was dragged away by Aisha to come to the "Throat of the World" for a "field trip", but as for her exact location, Lin did not know. Miss Purple Ponytail insisted on maintaining secrecy, and did not tell Sù Lin what she was going to do - but Lin understood Miss Purple Ponytail's state of mind very well, presumably because it was "semi-forced" pushed out by Aisha, Miss Purple Ponytail felt that it would be embarrassing if Lin knew about her mission for this trip, right?

Essentially, it was a similar situation to an ostrich burying its head in the sand, but since I insisted that I didn't want to know, Lin didn't ask more.

However, NONO's whereabouts, Lin still has a slight eyebrow.

"In which direction is the nearest town near here?"

As expected, NONO should be in the surrounding cities?

"If you take this town as the center, there are actually three towns within a radius of five kilometers. However, because of the peculiar topography of this place, it has always served as a national border, separating the various countries - and the three nearest towns I am talking about belong to three different national regions...... Skimming off one of the elves' territory, the remainder. There are still two more. ”

"Well, just know the village. Can't you control which country you belong to?"

“...... In fact, the village is located in such an awkward position. Therefore, it is not under the administration of any one country. You should be able to understand that if you try to incorporate it into the management of your own country, you will be mistaken by your 'neighbors' for some intention to expand your territory. ”

For the regional division of such a mountain range, it is indeed a headache. For this reason, the rulers have tacitly demarcated this region out of their own national territory - to be honest, the "Throat of the World" is a passage connecting the earthly world and the celestial realm, and considering that the attitude of the celestial people towards the earthly people is not very friendly, no one would want to put this time bomb in their own territory.

"It's more troublesome. Because of the imminent outbreak of war, these two border cities are now very strict in terms of the people who enter and leave - elves like Lilou and Io will never be allowed to enter the city gates. Even if you can get in, I think, the environment will be dangerous. ”

"Uh...... Do we have to go to those two cities?"

As soon as I heard about it, I was going to venture into the city of humans. Lilou couldn't help but worry - she wasn't scared herself, but Io was still unconscious, so what if something really happened?

"Are you talking about two young-looking women? one with purple hair. A white-haired one?"

"Huh, you know what?"

This Lori had seen Aisha, and she had gotten a hair ornament from Aisha, so she probably knew Aisha's whereabouts now. And. Listening to her tone, it seems that she still knows NONO's whereabouts?

"Purple Fur is now on the snowy mountain. And the other white hair, if I'm not mistaken. It's going in that direction. ”

"That direction...... Uh, if I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be Swain, right?"

"There, is there anything special to pay attention to, Sheena?"

"A black-hearted town where you need to pay a fee to enter the city first!" Speaking of this, Hina's face was full of resentment, "The last time I went to this city, I was extorted a lot of silver coins!"

"Uh, how much was ripped?"

"It's 50 silver coins. ”

“...... How can there be so many?"

50 silver coins is not a small amount, and Lin knows that although the value of silver coins is not as good as gold coins, it is not comparable to the copper coins commonly used by ordinary people. In many places, 50 silver coins is about the same as a teenager's tuition for a year - Hina was robbed of 50 silver coins once she passed through this town, and she was black-hearted.

"Border cities, but all those who pass by, most of them are caravans, these are fat sheep. This is quite a 'income' for the lord who runs a remote town, so it is not surprising that he has put a lot of effort into this. ”

"But the caravan can afford to enter the city, but what if it's a solo traveler?"

"Wait~ If you can't afford it, you can only wait for the 'free day' once a week. For newcomers, it is too dangerous to climb in the wilderness for a few days, so even if they are reluctant, they will squeeze out silver coins to try to be safe. If it weren't for the last time I was in a hurry to do a task, I wouldn't have had to hand over those 50 credits. ”

It seems that this city lord is not too crazy, too stupid.

If you don't set such a free day, I'm afraid this border city will really continue to be depressed. However, for those who are in business, the schedule is often not accurate, and it is difficult to enjoy the free day once a week in all cases.

"You ...... Do you have any silver coins on you?"

Lin thought about it, and felt that some of the money she was carrying with her might have some hidden dangers in using it—she didn't know if the style of coins in this era was any different from later...... If there is a difference, wouldn't it be regarded as counterfeit money? Lin had no doubt that such a greedy city, its city guards, would confiscate a "counterfeit money" of pure gold.

"Lynn, are you still going over there?"

"Hmm. Lin nodded and said, "Sheena, you and Lilu will go up the snowy mountain to find their traces, and I'll go to that ...... first." Belch. A trip to Swain. ”

"Is it because of my relationship?"

The Mystery Maiden pointed to herself and said with some embarrassment, "If you are in a hurry." Actually, you don't have to worry about me first......"

"If we help you solve the problem of transformation, you won't reciprocate. How about helping us when we need it?"

"Absolutely. ”

"Look, isn't that my reason?"

......

When Sheena and the others disappeared from sight, Lin put away her gentle smile and stared sternly at the enigmatic girl who remained beside her.

"Alright, they're gone—stop staring at Io. ”

"Hmm, do you know my target, it's actually the elf?" was pointed out by Lynn for her purpose, and the girl was not flustered at all. "I thought that by pretending to be innocent and ignorant of the world, I would be able to divert your attention from where I came from and what I was for. ”

The image of "innocence". It's easy to lose sight of the reason for this – because it's not strange to do anything naturally, and people will subconsciously accept the fact that the other person is "bizarre" in some subtle place. If it weren't for Lynn's discovery, Io's body would have reacted since the girl appeared, and she wouldn't have noticed it for a while, right?

It's really hard to identify with Lori's appearance of pretending to be pure.

"If Aisha hadn't told me something, I would have killed that elf just now, right? Well, I've never seen it, but the smell ...... No doubt. It's my natural enemy. ”

Born ...... Mortal enemy?

The girl's statement made Lin feel a little surprised. 、

Io now has a presence in his body, and what his true face is, Lynn knows. But what is the connection between such a being and the mysterious girl in front of her? She calls it a "mortal enemy". If the other party is not lying, then what does it mean? It's intriguing.

Speaking of which, Io's body will react unconsciously. It's not just because there's hostility against her, there's a deeper reason, as the girl said, a "natural mortal enemy"?

"Actually, the more important reason is because you found that you couldn't use your full strength, so you didn't dare to make a rash move, right?"

Lin's cold words suddenly made the girl's face full of "unfathomable" conspiracy flavor, and her expression stiffened.

"Because you don't know if the elf will be able to get out of trouble and become stronger after the elf dies. But you find that you can't transform into the form of the main body, and your strength is only less than half...... If it weren't for that, even if you didn't do it directly because of the wet sauce's request, you would have to plan it privately, right?"

"How, how could it be for this reason......"

"Then I'm not going to Swain City to find someone......

"Don't!" the girl suddenly shouted nervously, and there was no calmness on her little face, "The most important thing in being a man is to be a man of words! You just said that you want to help me make a transformer, how can you go back on your word!"

“......”

Roles switch really fast...... So, this guy was really just pretending to be deep, right? Probably thinking that it was the first time he had dealt with a human (Aisha...... Maybe it's not human...... And need to be careful to watch out for these notoriously "cunning" races?

"To be on the safe side, I'll ask again—is the obstacle to the transformation you just showed really the actual situation, and not something you deliberately 'performed'?"

"It's true!"

Seeing that Lin still seemed to be doubting the authenticity of her inability to transform, the girl was anxious: "I...... Isn't it okay for me to apologize for the idea of pretending to be deep and teasing you?"

As she spoke, she opened the hem of her dress, revealing her white, flat, smooth skin...... Although there is basically nothing on the chest, it still can't hide the strict zhòng nature of this behavior!

"Ahhh

Don't look at indecency!

Lin hurriedly covered her vision with her hands.

"That...... Isn't it common sense to show your breasts when you apologize?"

"What kind of common sense is this!"

Although such a picture is very beautiful, Lin thinks that she is a good girl with discipline, and it is necessary to correct the other party's wrong perceptions and values in time.

"No, isn't it?" the girl pulled down her shirt in annoyance, "How did you get all the 'common sense' from those druids, and all of them are not right?"

"Really, if it weren't for your strength, I wouldn't want to bring such a guy who would be mistaken for a mentally retarded child. ”

"Who do you say is a mentally retarded child! I'm just poisoned by the knowledge and common sense of some unreliable guys!"

......

"Huh, seventy-five silver coins!, why don't you grab it!?"

When Lin came to the city of Swain, which was not very famous, with the girl who did not want to be named, she stopped their city guards and asked for seventy-five silver coins when they opened their mouths.

"Child, half ticket. ”

The guard pointed to a standard line to measure height on the side—this finger was not tight, and when Lin saw the image above, she was even more angry.

“...... Do you think I'm blind?"

Lin said that she really underestimated the discipline of these people - these people think that how short-sighted they must be to not see that the height scale that marks the "children's half-price line" is improvised with chalk!

Obviously, there was no such charge before!

"Because Swayn had just been hit by a once-in-a-century earthquake, two hours ago a rule was issued that non-residents and children entering and leaving the city would also be charged half price. Well, you should just give love......"

"What an alternative way of disaster relief!"

One side of the soil raises one side of the people, the city will have such a bad reputation, obviously it will not be just because of the city lord alone, this group of soldiers and ruffians underground is also a great hero. If it was really an official regulation, how could it be so simple to draw two lines with chalk at random! It was clearly because the number of caravans coming and going from the earthquake had decreased, and the "income" had also been affected, and these soldiers did not want to "throttle expenses" but wondered how to "open up the source......

And...... Lin said that she had seen the ruins of the village under the "Throat of the World", and that with that kind of damage, the intensity of the earthquake could not reach the "hundred-year level" of destroying the world. If it had been the kind of earthquake that Cheng dù had, these people would have been buried under the city walls by now, and they would have turned into a puddle of meat sauce!

"Don't go too far......"

A hint of danger appeared on Lynn's face.

"Do you think that we are refugees who have just escaped, and we still have the money used to escape urgently, and we are the big fat sheep that you can fish and meat at will?"

Lin thinks that she is likely to be regarded as the sisters who have just been hit by an earthquake and are in a hurry to flee, right?
