Sword Fantasy

Chapter 21

Amidst all the praises, Alice and I walked towards the back of the long street!

"Alice, let's go back first! We have to meet up with the team tomorrow!" I said tentatively.

Alice was a little disappointed after hearing this, but the sky cleared up in the blink of an eye! Seeing Alice's disappointed look, although she no longer looked disappointed, I knew she was feeling a little down. I patted her head and comforted her, "Let's continue shopping when we get back!"

Alice nodded blankly. Seeing her bewildered expression, I felt a bit uncomfortable, but there was nothing I could do. After all, this was the city lord's instruction. Who was it that the scheming city lord had caught us with? I guess Alice also remembered this incident.

Alice couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if these things didn't happen!"

"Believe me, after this, we won't owe him anything! Then we can do whatever we want!" I said confidently.

After hearing this, Alice walked silently towards where we were staying! Looking at Alice's lonely back, I sighed and said to myself, "I hope everything goes smoothly this time and nothing unexpected happens!"

The next day, I woke up early, dressed, and prepared to go get Alice. Unexpectedly, Alice was up much earlier than me. It seemed she didn't sleep well the previous night; she looked completely listless. I didn't know what to say to her! We just sat there in silence! After breakfast, we set off for the manor where the city lord lived! However, this time we didn't enter the manor. Instead, we saw Fred and three others approaching Alice and me! Seeing this, I figured these three people must be the adventurer group the city lord had mentioned.

There were three people, two men and one woman. The leader was a man in his thirties, and to his left was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. To his right was a girl about my age. Fred introduced us to these three people, and he was introducing them to me! The man in the lead was called Vig, who was just thirty-two years old this year, and his face was weathered! How should I put it? He looked like the uncle next door! He had a friendly vibe! The young man in his twenties was called Brian, with a hint of green pheasant on his face, as if he had just joined the adventurer world. The girl, about my age, was called Claudia, who seemed a little shy and not very good at communicating with others, but she was said to be very experienced!

When they looked at Alice and me, there was clearly a hint of caution in their eyes! I could almost see some distrust in their eyes! After all, cooperation between adventurers takes time to develop. No one wants to team up with strangers they don't know well; doing so only increases the probability of danger! Looking at their slightly distrustful eyes, I didn't want to say anything more! Because no matter what I said now, it would be useless! Strength is the best interpretation.

So our group of five set out on a journey to find the entrance to the dungeon!

We chatted occasionally as we walked, but mostly remained silent! In this oppressive atmosphere, we encountered the first wave of monsters! It was a small group consisting of two ogres and a dozen goblins!
Alice looked at me, and the meaning of that look was obvious. She wanted me to show off my skills a little and not let these three people look down on us like this, otherwise the atmosphere would be too awkward! I understood instantly and disappeared from the spot! When those three people saw me disappear out of thin air, their pupils shrank slightly! In just a breath, I appeared less than a hundred meters away from the small group of monsters! "Ice Demon Blade is Endless" A visible chill appeared around my body in an instant! The next moment, my body turned into white ice crystals, shuttling between the monsters! In the blink of an eye, I appeared in front of the two ogres! The sound of the sword returning to its sheath was heard! Looking at those goblins again, ice spikes burst out from their bodies one by one! The scene was bloody!
However, the two ogres were a simple matter! With a flash of white light, the "Super Dimensional Slash" transformed the ogres into ice sculptures! Thin white threads covered their bodies! He sheathed his blade, vanished from the spot, and returned to Alice's side! And the two ogres! As if made of ice powder, they instantly turned into a blanket of ice crystals!

Seeing this series of fluid moves and skills! All three were speechless, their eyes turning from distrust to wariness! But come to think of it, no one would immediately trust someone stronger than themselves! Especially since this was a temporary team, perhaps these three were battle-tested comrades! They could be trusted! Alice and I only joined later, but this also had a benefit: it let them know that Alice and I weren't to be trifled with!
After pondering what was going on, I said to the three of them, "Alice and I are just captured men by the city lord! This time we're just helping him explore that so-called underground city! We'll set off on our journey once we're done! Please don't treat us like bad people!"

Even after I said that, the three of them still looked at me warily. I was speechless. I had to give up. After all, we'd only known each other for a day. How could I expect them to trust Alice and me? That was completely impossible. It seemed like this was the only way to go for now!
After this move, I didn't make a single move that day! And it was Alice who took my place. After all, a beautiful girl always makes people let down their guard! Alice simply unleashed her healing spells and some less powerful magic control skills! For this one move, I just wanted to give Alice countless thumbs up! Her move was so good. The three of them clearly saw me as the expert adventurer pursuing Alice, and Alice was the one being pursued! Whenever she talked about this, Alice would blush and look at me!

As a master regarded by them! I can also hear their conversation clearly. Alice and I are partners, but we are always mistaken as a couple, or that I am pursuing her! I am also very helpless, okay! However, sometimes I really think it would be great to be with Alice forever! It’s a pity that as an elf, she has a longevity that I can’t reach, and I am just a human! In a hundred years, I will pass away. What will Alice do then? I have never dared to confess the emotional problems between Alice and me! The most important thing is that I am afraid that I can’t go to the end with her! Leaving her alone!
