After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

Chapter 18 'Leah's Request
Looking at the worried or playful expressions of several girls in her memory, Linda felt a warm current in her heart.

This is the Snow Goose Adventure Team he wants to stay in.

The gentle and considerate Echo, the quirky Crona who even calls him brother.

Leia bit her lip as if she was preparing to apologize for entering the monster's belly recklessly.

His sister Lin Xi is also still there.

The members of the adventure team are truly like family.

At that time, Linda believed from the bottom of her heart that establishing the Snow Goose Adventure Team was the right choice.

It would be fine if the team didn't become popular and just remained mediocre.

This thought flashed through Linda's mind.

Suddenly, 'Leah' across the round table stood up.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly, and clenched her fists tightly, as if she was preparing to say something.

Everyone looked over in surprise.

Linda's expression was stern, it was here, Leah asked herself.

"Today's failure is my fault. I shouldn't have ventured into the hinterland of the giant water snake. Everyone tried to save me! It was me who almost destroyed the team!"

Echo hugged Leah, who was trembling slightly, and whispered: "Captain, don't blame yourself, we are teammates, and you will lead us to conquer higher levels."

"But, but!"

"Sister Leah, neither my brother nor I will blame you?"

"No, I know everyone is trying to comfort me!"

Leah wiped her red and swollen eyes, looked at Linda who was sitting silently across the round table, gritted her teeth and said, "Listen to Linda from the beginning. If you retreat, you won't."

"Take this as a lesson. Be more cautious in the future and enter the World Tree when you are sure of victory."

Hearing Linda say this, the self-blame on Leah's face was obviously less.

But instead of sitting down, she suddenly bent over.

Leah's voice was loud and she asked seriously: "Linda, please help the Snow Goose Adventure Team and lead everyone through the secret realm of the World Tree without leaving any trace!"

Linda remembered clearly that from that day on, the level of detail in making strategies was several times more detailed than before, and the time consumption was also high.

Anticipating all the situations of defeating monsters, as long as the adventurer reaches the required level and strictly follows the strategy, he can definitely pass the level without any injuries.

"It's really a big help that this hot water kettle can still be used despite being so rotten."

A discordant voice suddenly appeared in the dreamland of memory.

The surrounding scenes were like broken glass, and Linda returned to the musty and deserted rental house in a daze.

The round table was much tattered than in memory, and the outspoken red-haired girl opposite had also disappeared.

Linda looked at the person who pulled her out of her memory. Kafeni used an old hot water kettle to boil a pot of hot water and slapped it on the table: "Would you like to drink it?"

"Ah."

Linda opened the cup she carried with the magic potion and filled it with hot water.

He saw that Kafeni was using a pink mug with a fire-breathing dragon pattern on it.

"This cup is still there, and it was not thrown away by my aunt."

Linda was a little surprised. This was the cup that Leah used when she lived here before.

He walked to the small bathroom and took a look. In front of a broken mirror taped together, there was a wooden basket for cleaning supplies. Several cups of different colors inside were covered by a thick layer of dust.

Linda looked at the wall to the right of the mirror, and indeed those crooked writings were there.

Time has passed so long that the text has turned yellow and is blurry in some places, looking like messy graffiti.

'Become the first adventure group in Baige City. '

'Heal your legs and open a lingerie shop in the imperial capital. ''Buy all the toys and customize the bunny armor! '

'Be with my brother forever! '

And at the bottom, squeezed into the corner by the huge font, is a line written in mosquito-like small characters: 'I hope you can climb to the top of the World Tree safely. '

Seeing these handwritings, Linda rubbed her brows and sighed.

Two of the five people who established the Snow Goose Adventure Team have withdrawn, which makes people feel that things have changed.

Leah's dream has not changed, but she has changed too much.

Arriving at the living room, Linda sat on the cotton-covered couch and stared blankly at the dark ceiling.

"What should I do with the food?" Kafeni asked sadly, covering her stomach.

"Go to bed early and eat tomorrow."

Linda said.

"Ah?" Kafeni's face was full of astonishment.

Linda, on the other hand, had no appetite. Kafeni asked him to take away a silver coin. When she went out, she asked him if she wanted to eat, but he refused.

His mind was in a mess, and after remembering those memories, he felt a little strange about meeting Leah tomorrow.

How did the 'Flame Blooming' Leia in the game become like this?
Linda agreed to form a team together in the first place, not just because of similar interests.

It was even more because he recognized the red-haired girl the moment he saw her.

The opponent is a very popular NPC in the game of Secret Continent, 'Flame Bloom' Leah!
In version 1.1 of Blood Moon, Leia's level is as high as 40 and she is the leader of the Rising Sun level adventure group.

He is mature, steady and responsible. He has an epee wrapped in flames and has captured the hearts of many players.

But the Leah that Linda met was completely different from the "Flame Bloom" Leah in the game, except for her appearance.

The latter is mature, steady and well-liked.

The other is coquettish and willful, and only knows how to blame others.

"Is reality different from the game, or is my appearance causing a 'butterfly effect' and changing the plot?"

Linda thought about it carefully, and it seemed that since he joined the Snow Goose Adventure Team, he had done all the cooking, the strategy for the secret realm, the preparation of materials, calculating the price of loot, and allocating rewards.
Most of these jobs should have been the work of Captain Leah, but in order to let Leah concentrate on training and improve her level, and in order to accept Leah's request, Linda took over these tasks.

"Could it be that I caused the mature and steady Leah to disappear in the game?"

Linda was stunned by her own thoughts.

Kafeni said before that he was too pampered towards the members of the Snow Goose Adventure Team, and he didn't take it seriously. Now that he thinks about it, there may be some reasons.

Linda couldn't help but sigh.

Now that we have reached this point, there is no point in trying to recover.

He has become a brave man, and with a useless goddess, he must build his own team.

So even if Leah really regains her original personality, it's impossible for him to return to the Snow Goose Adventure Team.

Taking advantage of the moonlight outside the window, Linda found paper and pen, sat at the table and drafted a declaration to withdraw from the team.

The room was surrounded by the sound of quills rubbing against paper.

After a while.

Linda put down the pen and held the written document in her arms.

After writing this statement of quitting the team, his slightly uncomfortable mood dissipated and he completely calmed down.

After looking back, I really have no regrets.

Although he has not yet registered to officially withdraw from the Adventurer's Guild, Linda is already a 'free man' in the opposition.
