After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

The door of the villa was closed, but a light was on in a room in the corner of the second floor.

Linda flew over and knocked on the window.

It was nearly 3 a.m., and Krona was lying on her bed, playing the Magic Handheld Game Console. The crisp sound of her fingers pushing the joystick could be heard through the glass. She was cursing, "You're such a weak character," and other insulting words.

Fortunately, the world has not invented the "magic network", so it can only fight against AI. Otherwise, Krona would definitely be beaten to a pulp by someone flying over to fight her in a real offline PK.

Krona was having so much fun that her pink twin ponytails were swinging back and forth. Linda knocked on the window several times but no one heard it.

It was not until he reminded her that Krona panickedly put away her handheld device and opened the window.

Linda was worried about Echo, so she let Chrona go for now and asked bluntly, "Where's Echo?"

"She went back to Nanyan City." Krona hid the handheld game console behind her.

"Nanyan City? It's so late?" Linda asked in surprise.

Krona nodded: "She said she had something urgent to do and had to go back overnight."

Linda rubbed his eyebrows.

It seems that this is definitely not a trivial issue.

"The handheld game console is confiscated. Go to bed immediately."

Linda was in a very bad mood. With a stern face, he grabbed the handheld game console behind Krona and put it in his pocket. He glanced at Krona's aggrieved face and said, "I'll return it to you in a few days."

"Oh" Crona reluctantly got into bed.

After closing the window, Linda jumped down from the balcony, spread his wings in the air, and rushed towards Nanyan City at lightning speed.

He possesses the flying skill, coupled with the Moon Stage's magical wings, the combination of the two allows him to achieve even greater speed.

Roughly estimated, it is five times that of the Black Flame Horse.

As long as Linda pays attention to what's below, he will definitely be able to catch up with Aiko.

The Black Hawk flapped its wings and its speed increased a bit.

The wilderness is nothing but brown wasteland and some drought-resistant bushes.

The scenery is monotonous and makes people sleepy.

We encountered many monsters along the way, but most of them were below level 20.

Sensing Linda's presence, they all fled.

"Father, look, it's the Moon-level adventurer!"

In a caravan of traveling merchants, a little girl with pigtails raised her head excitedly, pointed at the small black dot in the sky and said to her father.

"The next part of the journey will be easier." My father stroked his beard with a smile.

The aura of a Moon-level adventurer can scare away monsters, causing them to not dare to approach for a short period of time.

This is what “It’s nice to take shelter under a big tree” means.

Protecting this convoy was just an unintentional act on Linda's part.

About half an hour later.

Finally, a blonde girl was spotted in the earth-brown wilderness.

Linda's mood lifted, he stretched out his wings and flew over there like an eagle.

In the wilderness, a girl was galloping on her horse.

The sound of horse hooves and the rising dust startled the slimes hiding in the bushes. They huddled together in fear, trembling.

"shelf!"

Echo flicked the reins.

The girl's bright big eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of haze.

"It should be fine. He is a muscular monster who can fight with jungle bears."

Aiko thought silently.

After hearing from Frye that Rochelle was seriously injured by the demons, Echo's heart was in turmoil and she couldn't breathe.

When you are at the 15th level of the secret realm, you are faced with a powerful enemy and there is no time for overthinking.

At the celebration party, Aiko didn't want to ruin everyone's mood because of her affairs.

What's more, the Luanwei Flower is at a critical stage and the dangerous 20th floor secret realm will be opened soon. Aike hopes that Linda will focus on it and put his own safety first.

Until a letter was received by white pigeon from the Holy Rock Adventure Group.

After returning to Xueyan Villa, Aiko immediately mounted the Black Flame Horse and headed towards Nanyan City at full speed.

The letter was written by Bovis, and the content was brief: [My father is seriously injured in the 20th floor of the Great Secret Realm. If you have time, come back to visit.]

"20th Floor Great Secret Realm
Just like what Fry said.

Rochelle is really hurt!"

Aiko gripped the reins tightly, his palms full of sweat.

She hated Rochelle, it was true, and their relationship had been ordinary except when she was a baby.

But the person who trained her to become a [Holy Mage], an excellent adventurer, was Rochelle.

Without Rochelle's strict education, it would be impossible to achieve the current achievements.

Aiko originally wanted to wait until he was promoted to the Moon Stage before returning with Linda.

But now I can't wait any longer.

Given Bovis's personality, he wouldn't write to her for an ordinary serious injury.

Rochelle's condition is probably quite serious.

Aiko's heart tightened. If Rochelle fell, the entire Holy Rock Adventure Group would be affected.

There are three major forces in Nanyan City. The Bear Roar Adventure Group, composed of orcs, has always had a bad relationship with Shengyan. The Lores family is a "brother on the surface", but they have a lot of business competition in secret.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall collapses, everyone pushes it down.

How could Ai Ke not understand this truth?

She didn't know what she could do if she returned at a star level, but her presence might cheer Rochelle up.

Just when Eco's head was full of messy thoughts.

Whoosh!
A sharp wind blew behind me.

"enemy?"

Aiko was shocked.

In addition to monsters, there may also be cultists and adventurer hunters in the wilderness.

The nature of the latter is similar to that of robbers. It is their duty to rob property, and if the target is a handsome man, they will humiliate them.

"No, we're too close. There's no time to cast magic!"

Echo took out a sharp dagger from the bag on his leggings, infused it with light magic power, and stabbed the attacker!
But the other person reacted very quickly, and his big hand was like a pair of pliers, easily grasping her wrist.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move at all.

Then, the man hugged her from behind and tried to commit a "blasphemous" act!

There was murderous intent in Aiko's eyes as he chanted the "Holy Spear Formation" spell quickly.

The next moment, the attacker suddenly exerted force, and both of them rolled off the horses and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, both parties were adventurers and were not injured after falling off their horses.

Ai Ke was pressed down, gritting her teeth in anger.

If she were given the chance to cast magic, she would definitely shoot the opponent into a sieve!
Pa~!

Suddenly, a crisp sound and a burning pain on his buttocks entered Echo's ears and brain.

"Liar Echo, wait and see how I punish you!"

A familiar voice, with a hint of teasing, spoke slowly behind her. Ai Ke was stunned for a moment, and finally realized who this hateful attacker was. She was immediately filled with shame and anger, and stretched out her hand to twist the attacker's thigh viciously:
"Instead of punishing your lovely team members, you punish outsiders first. You are worthy of being the captain of Luanweihua. You use the knowledge of time management very well."

The "Adventurer Hunter" swooping down from the sky was Linda.

The strong sour taste left Linda speechless.

Objectively speaking, when he comprehended the Buti Tree, he held hands with Lulu, gave the legendary equipment to Leah, and Isa also had a place for the Buti Tree.

"Ahem, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about a certain big liar and what he is hiding."

Linda stood up, held Aiko in his arms, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, I, a bandit of the Moon Stage, will attack the passing girl fiercely."

"Hmph, who's afraid of who?" Aiko rolled her eyes. Her proud figure trembled slightly, like a lotus leaf in a rainstorm, making people want to use their hands as an umbrella to protect her.

Linda's eyes widened, the impact was even greater than that of being slapped by the fire giant.

Seeing the playful smile on Ai Ke's face, Linda coughed and said, "I'm not kidding you, what's going on?

Is it just a small problem, worth your trip back to Nanyan City overnight?"

Let’s talk about the difficult things later, he is here for serious business.

Under Linda's sharp gaze, Echo felt guilty. He shrank his head and stammered out the whole story.

“Rochelle was seriously injured in the 20th floor of the Great Secret Realm?
Is it possible that the Holy Rock Adventure Group will be targeted by the other two major forces? "

Linda held her chin with a serious expression.

He knew that the other two major forces were the Bauhinia Stone Family led by Lores, and Xiong Ji's Bear Roar Adventure Group.

The former is fine, Luanweihua has little contact with them.

But the Bear Roar Adventure Group
Hu Er died indirectly at the hands of Linda and others.

After coming out of the closed secret realm on the 10th floor, Linda has been keeping an eye on this adventure group.

Xiong Ji's species is a black bear. This kind of wild beast has a strong sense of revenge in the uncivilized period. It is said that the chimpanzee raised the black bear for two and a half years. When he released it back to the wilderness, the black bear broke free from the cage and immediately pounced on and bit the chimpanzee who was driving the carriage.

Linda had also seen similar incidents in his original world. The black bear, who appeared to be simple and honest, had a sinister and vengeful heart.

Now, several months have passed since Huer's death, and Xiong Ji is still collecting information about the cause of Huer's death.

Linda couldn't be sure whether they had evidence.

"In this case, the most sensible choice is to kill Xiong Ji, so that no one will miss him. I don't want to wake up one day and see a black bear gnawing at my head."

Linda thought secretly.

The Bear Roar Adventure Group is a hurdle that Luanweihua will have to face sooner or later.

On the other hand, Rochelle was seriously injured and was "besieged" by Xionghou and the Lores family. In a sense, Rochelle is Linda's future father-in-law, and he intends to help her out of both emotion and reason.

At this moment, Luanweihua has been promoted to Chaoyang level, and her status is different from before. Even though the former are senior Chaoyang level, they cannot ignore Linda's will.

Being young is the disadvantage of the Luanweihua Adventure Team, but also its biggest advantage.

"I go with you."

Linda hugged Echo without hesitation, spread her black eagle wings, and flew into the sky.

The speed was several times faster, and it surpassed the Black Flame Horse in just a few breaths.

The scenery ahead seemed to come backwards. Ai Ke was not used to flying and was almost out of breath due to the wind. The white arms wrapped around Linda's waist and pressed against her chest.

The summer night wind was still hot, but what was even hotter was the two of them.

From the moment Linda appeared, the sour feeling in Ai Ke's heart disappeared. If Linda cared about her at all, why would he go to Xueyan Villa to find her late at night and follow her all the way?
Compared to a certain drunk and sleeping red-haired dwarf, she is far ahead!

It's dry in the summer, so it's inevitable to feel thirsty during the flight.

Linda hugged Aiko's soft body and exchanged water with each other.

There is a different feeling above the blue sky.

...

At noon the next day, the sun rose high and the scorching sunlight sprinkled on the earth.

Just when they were about to give up in every sense, a city made of black rocks appeared at the end of the horizon, like a giant fortress.

On the majestic main city gate, three large, murderous characters were carved with swords.

Nanyan City!
"finally reached."

Linda murmured, landed with Aiko, and walked towards the passage reserved for high-level adventurers.

At the main city gate, the line of adventurers was like a long dragon.

There were also caravans of traveling merchants connected together, and the guards had to spend a lot of time just checking them.

The advanced channel is exclusively for adventurers above level 20 and is free of entrance fee.

The number of people here has visibly decreased, and there are only seven of them in total.

One of the adventurers, a man with a small mustache and a sword on his back, glanced at Linda and Echo out of the corner of his eye.

The man with the mustache lowered his voice and said to his companion beside him: "Do those two look familiar?"

"Hey, he seems to be the ultimate pervert?"

"That person next to her, is the [Holy Mage] Aiko? She actually returned to Nanyan City!?"

"Shh, now is not a good time."

Several people whispered.

"Hello, can you explain, not 'good times', what do you mean?"

Linda smiled faintly and walked up to the man with a mustache.

"Nothing." The man with a mustache felt the amazing magical aura on Linda and waved his hands in panic.

Shaking his head, Linda took out a purple gold coin from the ring like a magic trick, threw it lightly, and it just fell into the mustache man's pocket.

"Purple gold coins?" The man with a small mustache felt his throat dry and swallowed.

Linda: “Can you tell me now?”

"No problem, hehe, hehehe."

The mustache man changed his attitude and rubbed his hands in a flattering manner: "In fact, today is the 'three groups' meeting in Nanyan City."

Linda raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Three groups hold joint meeting?

Nanyan City, Black Stone Street.

This is the most prosperous street in the city, where the Adventure Guild, Elf Club, large businesses, top hotels, etc. are all located.

And today, the hotel named "Paradise Home" was booked by a group of big shots.

Various luxurious carriages were parked at the door. The black flame horse worth one hundred thousand gold could only graze on the roadside grass here. The flaming rhinoceros, two-headed demon dog, and breeze horse worth one million gold were everywhere.

Some poor adventurers held up recording stones and took photos with these luxurious cars to satisfy their vanity.

"What a big deal! Are the people from the city committee drinking boiled water that can light a fire?"

A kobold adventurer passing by with a backpack on his back said curiously.

"Humph, the country bumpkins in Lobster City are just ignorant."

The speaker was a pig-headed man in a suit, well-dressed and holding a scepter.

He glanced at the adventure badge on the chest of the man in front of him, which had a crayfish as its background, and knew that the man was from Crayfish City, which ranked last among the more than 200 cities in Cangqing Province.

"What's wrong with Ao Xia City? Are they eating your rice?" The dog-headed man's face turned red and he retorted weakly.

"Poor country boy, let Grandpa Pig tell you what's going on."

The pig-headed man straightened his suit, pointed at the luxurious carriage outside the Paradise with great enthusiasm, and said:

"This is our 'Three Groups Joint Discussion' in Nanyan City, consisting of Shengyan, Zijingshi, and Xionghou, three Chaoyang-class teams, discussing the future development direction of Nanyan City together!
Did you hear that clearly? Three, yes three?
A pathetic crayfish city that doesn't even have a Chaoyang-class one!" (End of this chapter)
