I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

The man in military uniform in front of him was trembling slightly, but he still

Stand straight.

"I said, they do know the truth. Except Sandora, every member of Salamandra knows that it was us who planned this incident, which led to the demon king's attack..."

"Comrades lost their lives when they understood everything! When they understood everything... they lost their lives with shame."

Izayoi showed an unexpected expression and was speechless for a moment.

In the cemetery where flowers were blooming, a figure stood silently holding a large pile of snacks and kept feeding them to his mouth. His long silver-white hair that poured down to his waist like a waterfall swayed slightly in the wind stirred by the fragrance of flowers. The bell's cat tail seems to be swaying unconsciously, making a crisp ringing sound, as if to soothe the souls that have passed here.

"I would like to use this monument to commemorate the 12 heroes of the Salamandra community who sacrificed their lives heroically with faith in [The PIED PIPER of HAMELIN] Demon King's Gift Tournament. - Mandela Teldorek"

Cheng Rang sighed softly, stopped carrying food to his mouth, and stared at the stone tablet in front of him.

"In the Little Garden, I risked my life for the flag and reputation of the community. If this destination can make you have no regrets or regrets, then I will not interfere too much. Maybe I am looking forward to getting the so-called 'hero' title, that's right. It's a relief..."

Izayoi who came from outside the Little Garden wouldn't understand, and neither would Cheng Rang.

How important is the meaning of protecting the community's flag, name and reputation in the hearts of these people.

Maybe....that's all.

"What a bunch of hopeless stupid kids..."

There is no one in the cemetery, only the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the blue forget-me-nots blooming on the hillside swaying in the wind, telling everything that has happened in the past.

Mandela trembled with excitement and closed his eyes, sheathing his sword.

"Betrayed by a powerful heir, the leader is bedridden. In order to support the declining community, we must risk our lives. How can a kid from outside the small garden, who is still a mere human, understand all this!"

Under such sharp accusation, Izayoi could only look away and clicked his tongue helplessly.

Mandela said: "I don't think I can beat you. I'm just a weak Yalong with talents that even a sister under a hundred years old can't compare to."

He untied his sword, placed the weapon on the ground, and knelt down on one knee.

"Go ahead and do it, your anger is justified. But I hope you can forgive this incident... at the cost of my life."

The man in front of him who once looked proud and determined was now lowering his head and kneeling in front of him as if he was being slaughtered.

Izayoi sighed as if he was frustrated: "This kind of thing is fine no matter what. From the bottom of my heart, I feel it doesn't matter no matter what. Besides, if I want to hold you accountable, someone will come to you before me, and you won't survive." Now."

The young man scratched his head with a troubled look on his face: "Speaking of which, the eldest daughter Sarah who was betrayed by the powerful heir was the eldest daughter Shiro Yaksha told about?"

"...Yes, Salamandra should have been succeeded by her older sister who has mature power. If my father had not been bedridden due to illness, Sandora, who was only in his early ten years, would not have had to take the position of ruler."

Really...it was supposed to be inherited, but it didn't happen.

Then the result means everything. Izayoi has lost interest in the reason and did not continue to delve deeper.

"Forget it, since the dead people sacrificed their lives knowingly, it's not something I should get involved in. If you exclude the damage to the town, you will still be the one losing money in the end, and we who have gained the most benefits don't need to go out of our way to To cause destruction.”

"....Feel sorry."

Izayoi, who was about to leave, stopped because of this apology. It must have been Mandela's behavior of lowering his head without authorization that made him unhappy. Izayoi turned around and made a suggestion:

"I don't accept this apology. However, let's take this opportunity to make a contract."

Mandela showed a nervous expression. Under this situation, no matter how unreasonable the request Izayoi made, he had no right to refuse.

Izayoi stretched out his index finger and smiled maliciously: "You owe us this time. Not you alone, but Salamandra as a whole."

"We will continue to fight the Demon King in the future. If anything happens to our community during this process, you must be the first to come. This way I can forgive you."

Before Mandela could answer, Izayoi turned and left.

"Above, besides, I have other things to be busy with, so you can take care of it yourself."

Mandela looked at the figure who kicked open the office door and then strode away, muttering to himself:

"——Swear to my flag... Salamandra will arrive immediately as the guardian of order."

————————————

Izayoi left the office and went straight to join Asuka and Yao, asking about the progress of finding Cheng Rang's traces.

"did you find it?"

"Did you go rolling in the garbage? Why are you so dirty?"

"I found a strange smell, it seemed to be from a cat."

Now the interested problem children seem to regard this as a particularly challenging gift game, although

Of course, the final prize is probably just the satisfaction after a successful prank, but this is just in line with their style, isn't it?

Yao's speech shocked the other two people. Izayoi patted the dust on his body and asked impatiently: "Where is it?"

"I just appeared in the direction of the cemetery, saying that I have never appeared here before. In addition, it is basically impossible for the cats in the North District to have beautiful hair as white as the moonlight... The three-haired cat has been with me before. I said so." Yao conveyed the meaning of the meow to the other two people while holding the three-haired cat in his arms.

"Then what are you waiting for? The range of the lovely pure white cat girl has been determined. Let's go find her!" Asuka raised his fist and declared together with Meili on his shoulder.

Izayoi also moved his intact left arm and grinned mischievously: "I really want to rub her head when the time comes, hahaha! What kind of expression will it look like? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Kasukabe Yoshi: "Then I will search in the southwest direction away from the cemetery. There are downdrafts on that side. Izayoi and Asuka, I will leave the other directions to you."

"Keep it on us!"

Izayoi and Asuka looked at each other, smiled, and patted their chests.

Chapter 138: Brother, vodka!

Cheng Rang, who had no idea that his identity had been exposed and was being jointly hunted by problem children, was enjoying a lively celebration.

Although part of the block was damaged due to the battle with the Demon King and is under repair, the warm atmosphere after defeating the Demon King is obviously even better. Everyone had a relaxed and happy smile on their face, drinking wine and enjoying food.

Cheng Rang walked alone among the bustling crowds, looking for food and wine he had never seen before. He couldn't help but try anything delicious and fun he saw.

And with the help of the very rare and cute appearance of cat-eared girls, many male merchants have even forced a lot of free "sampling" food.

Abbreviation - Feeding Play. After all, who can resist a cute cat with beautiful, smooth silver hair and ruby ​​eyes staring expectantly in front of his stall?

"The disguise mixture is so useful, meow. You can actually get a lot of delicious food for free without asking for money..."

(Ahhhhh...)

The large number of desserts and snacks in his arms actually increased instead of decreasing even as he kept putting them into his mouth. It seemed that Cheng Rang still enjoyed the treatment he was receiving.

I didn't even say a word, but he just put it in my arms. Doesn't it mean that if you don't want it, you don't want it for nothing?

It’s so cool!

"But as expected, I'm still a little tired after eating too much dessert... Let's go find something to drink."

The white-haired cat girl holding a large pile of food lifted her nose and sniffed, then her eyes lit up, and she followed the direction of the crowd as if she smelled something good and headed straight to the place where the charming aroma of wine came from.

"Brothers who are passing by may wish to take a look and give it a try. The latest wine from 'Vatreslav Winery'. I bet this is the strongest wine you can taste here in the North District. I guarantee you will be satisfied. !”

"Oh man, vodka!"

The cat, who was attracted by the unique aroma of spirits, seemed to be gleaming as she stared at the bottle in the shop owner's hand.

"How do you sell this wine?" Cheng Rang, who was aroused by the malt beer and fruity sweet beer in the small garden, which were mostly as bland as water, saw real strong liquor for the first time. After asking, he brought His strange oral habits were even ignored by him.

The loud shouting of the shop owner Sergey was interrupted. He lowered his head to look at the special guest who came to him, and smiled boldly: "Oh, this beautiful cat lady, I didn't expect that you are also interested in this kind of liquor. ?"

"Can I have a taste?!"

"Well... of course!" Sergey agreed after a moment's hesitation, "But you don't look like you're very good at drinking. My wine is similar to the flower and fruit wine in other stores. The essential difference... Do you want to give it a try first?"

After all, if the beautiful girl who came here alone got drunk, it might be embarrassing or embarrassing.

With that said, Sergey took out the smallest wine cup from behind the counter and placed it in front of the girl.

"Huh? Are you looking down on me, meow?"

Although I have often been underestimated for my drinking capacity because of my short stature, at least everyone uses the same medium-sized oak wine glass to serve me. Except for a special being like Resonance Blue, Cheng Rang couldn't bear to take out the smallest glass wine cup to dismiss him like this.

"Bah! I'm so brave, just get on the bottle, meow!"

So when did this strange oral habit appear?

Sergey twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly, looking at the cat-eared girl sitting in front of him, who was swinging her legs back and forth without her toes reaching the ground. She seemed to be very unconvinced and frowned with her cute brows and white tiger teeth. All exposed and shining.

"Then...you'd better pay for the drinks first, so as not to..."

Snapped!

Before Sergei finished speaking, a dazzling gold coin engraved with the pattern of the Thousand-Eyed Twin Goddess was photographed by the girl on the bar.

"Are these enough?"

"...Enough, enough! This gold coin is enough to buy several bottles!" The shop owner Sergey seemed to be dazzled by the gold coin.

, after looking around for a while, he swept it into his arms as if he was afraid that others would see it, and then took three bottles of the same wine from the cabinet.

"Eh? Is this wine so cheap? I remember that the Qinghua Niang bought by Yaerlin and others cost 40 copper coins..."

"Guest, you don't know, right?" Sergey cast an incredulous look at Cheng Rang who threw out a whole Thousand Eyes gold coin.

"What?"

"The value that these gold coins represent is different from that of silver and copper coins!" Sergey patted the cloth pocket on his chest uneasily, as if to confirm whether the gold coins he just put in were still there. He breathed a sigh of relief. , unscrewing the wine bottle in the hand of the girl in front of him.

"Although the three currencies of gold, silver and copper are all interchangeable, what truly represents their value is not based on the proportion of gold and silver, but the flag pattern printed on the currency..."

According to Sergey, each major community in the Little Garden, as long as it reaches a certain scale, can issue currency in the area under its jurisdiction, but the proportion of metals in it is the same.

Cheng Rang also heard Bai Yaksha say this and nodded to show his understanding.

"That means that if you want to exchange silver coins like this for gold coins of 'Thousand Eyes', you need a higher exchange rate?"

Cheng Rang took out the silver coin with the "Barbarian Blood" community flag printed on it that he had won in the Hao Wan's Gift Competition from the wallet at his waist, and asked the store manager Sergey in front of him.

"Is this it?" Sergey raised his hand and stroked the beard on his chin, squinted his eyes and shook his head: "No, there is no currency that can be exchanged for 'ThousandEyes' gold coins. channels.”

"Huh? Can't exchange it?"

"Of course, you just can't redeem it in the North District." Sergey added.

Since it is a currency issued by a super-large commercial community from the four-digit outer gate of 3345, its gold coins printed with the flags of the double goddesses cannot even be exchanged upward outside the Eastern District under the jurisdiction of Bai Yaksha.

Of course, downward conversion is possible, but anyone who understands the value of currency would probably not do this.

This also explains to Cheng Rang why the shop owner Sergey attaches so much importance to the value of this Thousand Eyes gold coin, because it not only represents the trade between goods, but also represents the depth of communication shown by the transactions between the communities that issue the currency.

It seems that the commission price given by Bai Yaksha is quite reasonable. The purchase value of these 50 thousand-eye gold coins is probably much higher than the 500 silver coins issued by other communities.

Although it was a bit inappropriate to just spend one gold coin like this, he was still satisfied with the value of the information and items he could buy with this gold coin.

The cat-eared girl slapped the table and said, "Okay, don't look at me like that. Meow, I've already paid the money, so there's no reason to take it back. The only option that I won't regret in the future is to use good wine." We’re entertained, come to the bar, meow!”

Sergey, who looked a little nervous at first, heard what she said, and immediately bowed down with a smile on his face, and poured a glass full of transparent liquid that smelled of strong alcohol for the special guest in front of him.

"Okay, look at you!"

Behind Cheng Rang, Kasukabe Yoshi was squeezing through the crowd and saw the figure sitting in front of the open-air bar, happily wagging his white furry tail and holding a wine glass in his hand.

"Found it~"

Yao's eyes were fixed on the silver-haired cat-eared girl in front of the bar, with a wicked smile on his lips.

Chapter 139 I advise you to use rat tail juice

Vodka is made from grains or potatoes, and is distilled into alcohol of up to 95 degrees. It is then diluted with distilled water to 40 to 60 degrees, and filtered through activated carbon to make the wine more crystal clear, colorless, light and refreshing, making people feel It doesn't feel sweet, not bitter, not astringent, just flaming excitement, forming the unique characteristics of vodka.

A burning sensation like a flame bursts out in the throat and mouth, carrying a unique smell of alcohol that evaporates into the air with exhalation.

"Ha~! It's this refreshing feeling...it's been a long time!"

Different from the slight bitterness and strong bubbles of beer, the transparent and clear vodka brings people a hot and spicy feeling similar to the bold spirit of the northern people, and the aftertaste is very sweet. It's like being enveloped by the passion of the brewer, and you can feel the warmth gradually rising inside your body.

But just when Cheng Rang was indulging in drinking, a cold voice that was inconsistent with the hot alcohol came from behind him.

"Um, excuse me..."

Putting down his wine glass, Cheng Rang looked back at the person coming behind him - Kasukabe Yoshi.

"What's the matter, this lovely young lady we met for the first time?" Cheng Rang, who was very confident in the effect of the camouflage mixture, thought that there was no flaw in it, and raised the corner of his mouth to say hello to Yao, who was holding the three-haired cat in front of him.

There really wasn't any flaw... Even Yao almost thought it was the first time he had come to chat with the white-haired lady with cat ears in front of her, but unfortunately, she had already learned about the person in front of her. identity.
