Nemo, Seren, and Shuilonu continued to track down Syk based on Giruma's words. Before they left the area, Shuilonu went out shopping and beat up a foul thug, which led to several waves of retaliation from the "bad guys", and as a result, she and Seren, who eliminated almost half of the local mid-level thugs, and Naimo managed to drag them on the road. If you don't leave, the big tail will be led out by them. Naimo didn't want to add another legend to the history of the battle between paladins and evil during his journey.

"You'll come back and sweep by yourself another day!" Naimo said, forcing them to check the ticket gates through the train station.

But when I arrived at the target city, it was very difficult. There is no news of roadside stalls, cheap hotels, or open camping places. They even went to the police station to see if they had been detained, just in case, but they didn't.

After searching all day, in desperation, they sat down to rest in a chain coffee shop.

Seren and Shuilonu went to find a place to sit down, and Nemo chatted with the clerk for a while before finally coming over with a drink.

"Still no news. Naimo handed out drinks to everyone. He didn't think the coffee was good, so he ordered chocolate.

"I'm curious, do the stories you tell refer to real events?" Serene whispered. He went to the coffee shop to drink milk and eat sandwiches. Seren's ears were sharp, and he heard all the conversation between the clerk and Naimo. Naimo told another story, this time with the clerk's net worth background, telling a love story that the clerk would be interested in.

The story is about a boy who falls in love with a girl who is a year older than him at a bus stop. For this reason, as long as the other party is admitted to a certain school, he must be admitted to the same school every other year, but he does not dare to contact the other party. Because the girl was very popular and the suitors were in good condition, he didn't dare to act.

Later, when he went to college, he finally got to know each other because of the club, but only because of unfamiliar friends. He knew directly from the girl that she had a gentle, considerate, rich and generous boyfriend who had been dating for many years, so he decided to give up.

Later, he graduated from college, and the girl's boyfriend was promoted to husband. He silently wished the other party happiness. Years later, the girl was absent at the class reunion. Only then did he know that the girl's husband was deceived by a friend into taking drugs, and he also had paranoia and suspected her **, and beat her until she had a miscarriage. She wanted to divorce, but because her husband's parents did not allow her to go, she threatened to find a brother on the road to be bad for her family, so she could only endure it all the time. I didn't show up because I was sent to the hospital again.

So the boy went to the point of no return, he himself went to the dark side of society, eradicated all problems, and set the girl free, but he also became a wanted criminal and could never be with that girl.

As for the strange group of Naimo who had worked with him in the dark side of society, they felt that it was too unfair to pay such a price for administering justice, and they managed to find Bai Dao for help, and spent money to find a terminally ill person to help him take the blame. All the problems were solved, he could come back, and the girl was waiting for him, so they came out to find him.

Naimo told a lot of stories along the way, almost telling a new story when he saw a person, never repeating it. Serian felt that no matter how good a novelist was, even if he tried to the point of vomiting blood, he would not be able to tell these stories.

Naimo didn't answer directly, just shrugged his shoulders, raised his eyebrows and looked at Serian and said, "I believe that with your position, you will definitely be able to tell no less stories than I do. The black market, the knights, one ** and one white road, but they are all places where you can see the life at the bottom of the society and see the hot and cold state of the world.

Serene didn't answer directly, "I'm not as good at telling stories as you are. The power of storytelling can simply refer to the ability to tell a story beautifully, not the ability to create it.

"There are nine streams and ten schools of ancient thought in our country, and subtracting novelists from ten schools is equal to nine streams, and novelists are not in the stream. Namo pulled the conversation away, "But, I hate people who don't listen to stories. They don't care about others, they only care about themselves, they don't pursue the truth, they only pursue illusions. All large-scale deception begins with fabricated stories and continues in denials. 」

"For example?" Shuilonu asked. She was the only one who drank coffee and ordered a caramel macchiato. She rubbed her knuckles as she watched Namo. There were too many people flattened, and her hand hurt a little.

"Let's say you make up a story about a bumper harvest that overflows in every storehouse, and then deny the story that people starved to death on the streets. Or, first fabricate a story of a high-level person taking off his coat to wear to a dirty beggar, and then deny the story of the same high-level forcibly snatching a people's daughter to go back.

"That kind of person is characterized by not listening to stories. They only want to judge other people's stories and are hostile to the real stories. In the end, they will all go down the path of forbidding others to tell stories. 」

"Thankfully, that doesn't happen here. There's no story that can't be told. Shuilonu said. Freedom of speech in Sarafaydo is very open, in fact, to the point of being a little annoying.

"Really, won't?" Namo laughed.

"There will be a bunch of fabrications in the media, but there shouldn't be any disappearance, right? At least someone will report on major things, right?"

"If you think people are obligated to tell you everything, then deceiving you will also be their power. He turned to Serena and smiled, saying, "You know this very well, don't you?"

Serian nodded.

"Can you tell me a story?" Shuilonu turned to Seren. She is a person who always has to listen to stories.

Seren said lightly, "I won't name names. A few years ago, in order to stabilize the people's minds, the Chinese government decided to issue national gift rolls that could be used as a substitute for currency to the people of the whole country before the beginning of winter, regardless of gender, old and young. Whether this policy is correct or not will not be discussed. What I want to talk about is that at that time, the social welfare groups were worried that the child was not qualified to be a parent at all, so the government asked the child to submit a roster, and they would send the child child directly to the child's protection unit, not to the parent who had been deprived of the right to support. As a result, a newspaper in the country only reported on the concerns of the social welfare group, and the government's response was not mentioned. 」

"Did you accidentally miss it?"

"No, it was because the newspaper supported the opposition party at the time. They want the people to think that the ruling party has poked the bag again. They've done the same thing many times. It's like someone on their side was debating with others, and at one point they said something that seemed to be very exciting, but they were immediately knocked down and crushed. Their report only goes up to that wonderful sentence, and then they don't mention it at all, using hints to make the reader mistakenly believe that the other party is forced to speak back by this sentence. Since the person they were arguing with at the time was a well-known person, it was very important not to let the reader know how that person could refute them. 」

"Got it? That's why it's so important to listen to stories. Naimo said.

"I see. Shuilonu said. She also learned by the way that it is necessary to find the story by herself, and she can't sit back and wait for others to give it. She continued, "But where the hell is Rick?"

Naimo shrugged: "There's no way, I can only check it with the official divination check." 」

"Is it here?" asked Seren.

"Of course not here. Wherever photography is prohibited, spells cannot be cast. Naimo said. All the same will shine. He finished his chocolate and left, "I'm going to find a place where there are few people to cast a spell. 」

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

This day was the third day in a row that the "most magical corner" was full. It was noon every day, and the meal was sold out after a short time, so I had to hurry up and add more. Nelott is very picky about the quality of the ingredients, so it is not necessarily called.

Before opening this morning, Rick went to the bathroom to take a shower. The bathroom door lock here is broken. Anyway, Xi Ke is a man, and he doesn't care too much. I really don't want to lock the door with magic when there is an accident.

Normally, when Xike was taking a bath, Samihot or Nilett would often walk in and fill it with water, and neither Xike nor the two demons would feel any good. The two races are different, and it doesn't feel like being seen by a cat in a bath, or seeing a cow soaked in a puddle.

But today, when Xike's body was full of soap bubbles, Samihot came in with a vase (strangely, except for the cups of snacks that Xike put on the table, when did this store have flowers?) to fill the water, and he looked Xike up and down for about five seconds, and that look was a bit like a butcher looking at a fat pig.

So in the afternoon, when the meal was sold out early, he went directly into the kitchen and asked Samihot for today's salary.

"I'll leave after I'm done washing the dishes, please settle my paycheck." Rick said.

"You're going to quit?" Samihot stood in front of the sink, his ears twitching. Because he was too busy, he took a chair to cushion his feet and helped wash the dishes himself.

"Yes. 」

"Why?"

"I'm afraid you'll put me on a plate and take it out. 」

Sa Mihot looked at Xi Ke, and the corners of his mouth rose.

The corners of his mouth rose to look at him.

Samichhot does not admit it, nor does it deny it.

Deciding that he didn't care about today's salary, he turned around and rushed to the outfield, shouting, "Xiaohong, come!"

The giant maniac in the room heard Syke's call and rushed out of the door. Rick strapped all his luggage to the Giant Mania's back before going to work today, for this moment.

Rick and the Giant Maniac met in the outfield, and the guests who hadn't left watched in amazement. Samihot rushed out of the kitchen and shouted, "The human has run away, catch him!"

The salivating demons pounced, and Rick drew his sacrificial sword and created an electrified circular parapet, which sparked the demons that collided with them. Nick jumped on the back of the Giant, grabbed the hair on its back, and directly caused it to step on the demons, rush up the stairs, knock over the stall that was pushed to block it, and quickly circled between the statue's pedestals.

The sound of demonic conversations, the smell of sulfur and the smell of demonic herbs that had always been like explosions, suddenly receded as if they had never existed, and the smell of dust and sparrow noises that had been standing for years rose up.

The hall on the first floor of this long-abandoned building was empty, and there were no demons. There is only the garbage left behind by the brave testers.

Xi Ke got off the back of the Giant, unloaded his luggage and carried it himself, and led the Giant Madness out and back into the sun. He had been working in the basement during the day, and he only came out to walk the demons after the sun went down, and he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and suddenly felt a little dazzling.

After walking a few steps, he was surprised to see Namo walking towards him.

Naimo stopped, and he was surprised to see Syck. He was a black market mage, and he had known about the Demon Market here, and he had planned to go there to buy spellcasting materials.

The divination before departure said that he would find Xike without much effort, which was too accurate.

"How did you get out of there?" asked Naimo with an eyebrow.

"Not really. I used to work in it. Rick exhaled helplessly. Naimo knew about the Demon Market, which Xike could imagine.

"Aren't you traveling, why are you back at work?"

"Because I want to raise this child. Rick stroked the maniac's supple hair. Both were mages, and Nemo also knew about Syk's finances and didn't need any more explanation.

"Oh—so what are you going to do again?"

Without having to explain, Syk knew that Naimo was asking, "How are you going to take care of this guy?" instead of "Where are you going to go next?"

"I'm going to go home. "Hopefully I'll be able to find a job at a potions material shop where I can buy fodder at staff prices." 」

"Speaking of which—" Namo touched his chin, "Do you think this guy is a good fit for me?"

"Seems to be. Rick looked at the Maniac's colorful fur and compared it to what he was wearing in his heart.

"It just so happens that I'm missing a Monster, so if you're a big guy, it's no problem to carry me and Lisina. How about you make a price for me?" said Naimo.

"You're the best at it. No money! I raised it because it was thrown away by its owner. Rick said with wide eyes. With the pipes owned by Naimo, it's easy to raise the Giant.

"So be it, I guess what to name it?" Namo stepped forward and touched the fur of the Giant, and glared at each other. Ten seconds later, the Giant gave in and kept its eyes peeled. So Naimo laughed.

Nemo grabbed the Giant's leash, led it to his side, and said to Rick, "By the way, you don't have to go back, you can continue your journey." 」

"yes. Rick smiled widely.

"Have a safe journey. Namo waved his hand.

Rick waved his hand and said, "Goodbye!" and walked briskly down the street.

Nemo estimated that the direction in which Syck was walking was in the opposite direction to the coffee shops where Shuilonu and Seren, etc., were walking.

After that, Naimo went directly back to the coffee shop, and Naimo beckoned outside, asking the two people who had finished eating and drinking to come out.

Seren's constant staring at the Mad while Shuilonu asked, "What was the divination?"

The Titano began to rub his head against Seren's head.

"I'm quitting. Naimo stopped the Giant from gnawing at Seren's sleeve.

"Why?" Shuilonu asked, surprised. Along the way, Naimo was the de facto leader, and without him, she didn't know how to catch up with Xike.

"I just went shopping on the black market and I happened to see this guy and bought it. Naimo said sincerely, "I have to take care of it, no hotel would accept such a big thing, right?"

Seren's expression was subtle, but the Giant Maniac was licking his face, blocking Shuilonu's view, so Shuilonu didn't see it. Seren was well aware that the inn's no-pet-free rules didn't control mages at all.

"Anyway, you two work on your own. With that, Naimo turned his finger around the Giant, and a gorgeous golden saddle appeared on the Giant's back. Naimo jumped on the beast's back and waved his hand, but Shuilonu didn't have time to say goodbye before he left.

Originally, Naimo was the most enthusiastic person to find Xike, but he left as if he had completely lost interest in the matter. Shuilonu originally thought that Naimo was very fickle, and she had been enthusiastic and cold since she was still in the Dark Academy, but this change was unexpected for her.

She looked at Serian with a little panic, and saw that Seren was wiping the saliva from her face with her sleeve, and at the same time took out a small plastic cube with a carved bee in it, frowning at the flash on it.

Serene said, "I'm sorry, stay with me. I'm going to the Magic Booth to receive instructions. 」
