Guild Boss's Ambition

Kailan Melo shot an arrow at the Lord of Surut, and the arrow was faster than the sound of breaking wind.

The Lord of Surut swung his stick and hit the arrow, and his footsteps were faintly visible between Kailan Melo and the red wolf cub.

Bai Ye, who had lost his right arm, ran back towards the red wolf cub with unknown intentions.

Although I didn't have much idea about the incident at the moment, I still took a step forward and followed the voice in my heart. I ran towards the source of the incident - the red wolf cub.

But somehow, even Miss Lannong was riding on Xiaoban's back and moving towards the center of the battlefield.

The whole scene was in chaos in an instant. No one had enough time to communicate, and no one had the spare time to understand everyone's thoughts and positions. Driven by speculation, instinct, intuition and various other forces, everyone took their own actions. I suddenly realized that people themselves might not be united, just like tiles laid on the ground always need some adhesive and a little thought to arrange them neatly and beautifully.

As a result, Bai Ye was the first person to go to the red wolf cub.

However, the arrows of the high elves also synchronized with her steps.

Although Lord Surut has the ability to intercept arrows, the range of his protection is limited to himself and the red wolf cub. Bai Ye, Xiaoban, Miss Lannong and I are under the threat of the high elf all the time. If the high elf wants to shoot us, then we will definitely die.

However, the arrow shot at Bai Ye only hit her left foot, knocking her aside.

That's the impact arrow that archers often use.

Originally it was just a technique to break through the defense of shields and heavy armor, but now it is used by this female elf to reduce the damage of arrows. It can be seen that she really does not want to hurt us, and she is confident that she can do it with ease. Maybe she did not lie, but simply wanted to kill the red wolf cub and eliminate the threat to the world.

but……

I looked at Sirius, who was cowering in his mother's arms with the other wolf cubs, and saw only two ignorant eyes. Could such a cub, whose life course was almost blank, really be a mistake that would bring destruction to the world? Does it have the ability? Does it have such a motive?

"Why must it be judged so harshly before it has committed any crime?"

"Are the elves' predictions a hundred percent accurate for the future?"

"Furthermore, if that is really an irreversible fate, then even if Kelanmelo succeeds in killing Sirius, won't he still trigger the inevitable catastrophe? On the contrary, if Kelanmelo kills Sirius, it will change all fate. In this way, won't everything in this world also affect Sirius' future?"

When my thoughts reached this point, there were no more distractions in my mind.

I took a step -

Turn around - raise your shield -

Rushing towards the high elves who were fighting with the Lord of Surut.

Upon seeing this, the Lord of Surut City immediately stepped forward, swept his wolf-tooth club horizontally across the air, and attacked Kailanmelo together with me.

But I saw that Kailan Melo's steps were light and graceful, and her jade feet lifted her body as light as a goose feather. She passed over her shield like a dragonfly skimming over the water, and avoided the attack from me and the city lord. At the same time, she also passed behind me and aimed her bow and arrow at Sirius.

At this moment, a dead goose suddenly swooped down on Kelan Melo's face and pecked her right eye fiercely.

Puff.

The dead goose corpse did not receive any mercy from the elf. She immediately cut it in half with her bow and burned its corpse to ashes with an unknown flame.

But the dead geese successfully bought us enough time.

The dwarf city lord and I rushed forward again!

This time, we have a better understanding.

“Ahh—”

I discarded the extra tower shield and swung down the cross sword to disrupt the elf's steps.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

The Lord of Surut used his skills that were as agile as a fly. Even though he was small in stature, every blow of his wolf-tooth club could cause a loud explosion. He was trying to force Kelanmelo to stop aiming at Sirius with continuous close combat. Unfortunately, the female elf was too strong and unreasonable. She snorted coldly, and a huge magic array suddenly appeared under her feet. There was a sudden flash of light in the field, and two figures that looked exactly like the female elf appeared out of thin air.

Seeing this situation, Lord Surut exclaimed in shock: "This is terrible! Hurry up and help to distinguish which of them is the real one, but be careful, Kailan Melo's clone technique itself is also real!"

At the moment when Kailan Melo transformed into three people, Miss Lannong also went to Sirius, and without saying a word, she hugged the red-haired child in the wolf pack into her arms, then rode on Little Spot's back again, and turned back to rush out of the cave.

On the other hand, the three clones all aimed their bows and arrows at Miss Lannong at the same time.

"Stop her!" "Kill her!" "Oh my god—"

I picked up the tower shield first and sprinted in front of one of the female elves.

The Lord of Surut City smashed one of the clones into pieces with a stick.

Finally, Miss Bai Ye, who had lost her right hand and injured her right foot, used her left hand to shoot the Finger of Death at the remaining elves.

The next moment, the female elf in front of me suddenly disappeared without a trace, and Miss Bai Ye's finger of death was completely blocked by a magic barrier just before it hit the female elf. So, without any obstacles, Kailan Melo shot an invisible arrow at Miss Lannong.

puff.

A muffled cry came from within the cave and reached our ears.

The arrow hit Sirius, causing the blood to stain his fur even darker red.

After a while, the wolf cub's body began to burn in Miss Lannong's arms, and seemed to turn into faint starlight.

"The battle is over."

Woo-woo-woo

The flowing wind blew silently and echoed in the cave.

After a while, the high elves left quietly.

The scene was so quiet for a moment that it was terrifying.

It was so quiet that I didn't quite understand what the previous struggle was for.

Did anyone get any benefit from this?

I just saw a life disappear.

In silence, Miss Lannong held up her empty hands.

"Is it dead?"

She murmured something in a low voice, and then fell sideways to the ground.

poof.

No one was able to catch her in time.

The sound of the body landing was so heavy that it made people feel heartbroken.

Bai Ye, with a broken arm and leg, stood up weakly.

I walked over quickly on her behalf to check on the little janitor's condition.

After carefully examining her several times, I said to Bai Ye and the others with certainty, "Miss Lan Nong should be fine. The arrow did not cause any damage to her. She caught a cold before leaving tonight, or maybe she had a high fever due to the intense exercise and emotional ups and downs. As long as she has a good rest, she will probably be fine."

After a pause, I looked at Miss Bai Ye. She was the one who was most seriously injured at the scene.

At this time, Miss Bai Ye just showed a slightly relaxed expression and closed her eyes.

"It seems that Miss Bai Ye really loves Miss Lan Nong."

"At that time, she was standing alone to cover the retreat, as if she was willing to sacrifice her life for him."

"Perhaps this necromancer will unexpectedly be a good person?"

……

1. The Girl Who Lost the Fairy's Blessing (Ehrhard)

(Mener-Ehard)

Oh! Oh!

I ran until I ran out of breath, and then I watched the carriage go away into the distance.

That damn Xiao Lan actually went on an adventure with Bai Ye.

"Isn't she afraid of being sold out by Bai Ye?"

"By the way, there's Bai Ye and Raftan, what level of missions are they doing?"

Shocked, I went back to the stone house, rushed up to the third floor, joined the long queue, and found the working shrimp seller.

I asked him in annoyance, "Stinky old man, did you know that Xiao Lan and Bai Ye are going on a mission?"

Hai Lao blinked, was stunned for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "You said - the little girl went out of the city with Bai Ye and the others?"

"Yes, she told me that this morning, and then she ran away in the coach."

Hai Lao raised his head and nodded, saying in an understanding tone: "No wonder she kept it a secret from you. If you had known that she was going to take risks outside the city, you would definitely not have agreed to her. However, Bai Ye and Raftan are with us on this mission. I think as long as they don't get unlucky enough to run into high elves or something like that, they shouldn't be in danger."

"But the problem is that witch Bai Ye!" I emphasized.

"Bai Ye is not dangerous." Hai Lao replied calmly.

"But what mission are they actually going on?" I asked.

"..." After a while, Hai Lao replied belatedly: "The Marching Wolf mission in Root Town."

"Marching wolves? They are just a group of relatively intelligent silver-level creatures. But with Bai Ye and Raftan here, there shouldn't be any problems as long as nothing unexpected happens." I thought to myself, still cursing in dissatisfaction: "Damn Bai Ye, I really don't know what's in her head. She actually brought Xiao Lan to those dangerous places!"

Hai Lao sighed, pointed at the dragon behind me and said, "I think that Miss, instead of spending your time worrying about those trivial things, you might as well do other more meaningful things. As the saying goes, if you don't move forward, you will fall behind. Our guild has started to improve because of Xiao Lan, but if you don't make progress, won't you be back to square one in a few years?"

After hearing Hai Lao's advice, I was silent for a moment, and finally turned around and left with gritted teeth.

The old lady is right. I really need to make progress quickly.

Spring is almost here, and the White Nights are already platinum.

I can't leave too much for them, I can't stand still.

"Aww! Aww!"

I was walking in the middle of the spiral staircase between the second and third floors when I met a poor grey-haired fellow.

She was holding a letter in her arms, looking very energetic, blocking my way.

"A letter? Is it for me?"

“Ahh—”

Lian'er nodded and handed the letter to me with both hands. I took it casually in a depressed mood, then held Lian'er's shoulders and left the busy staircase with her before opening the letter. However, there was no need to open the letter. The four words on the envelope were enough to pull my emotions to a certain extreme. I almost lost control and showed a ferocious expression in front of Lian'er.

"To Sister Meng Er──"

There is no doubt that this letter was 100% left for me by that dead girl.

I tore open the top edge of the envelope and unfolded the letter paper inside.

"Dear Sister Meng'er, when you receive this letter, I will have already set out for Root Town. I don't expect you to forgive my willfulness, but please understand my desire to become a task appraiser. Now it's a done deal. Even if you have objections, please wait until we return from our adventure to discuss it again, okay?"

"This letter has other purposes besides just an apology."

"First of all, after I go out, there will be no one to take care of Lian'er for the next few days, so I hope that Sister Meng'er and Sister Berlani can take turns to look after her on my behalf. I have recorded all of her favorite foods, meal times, and various living habits on the back of the second piece of paper──"

"In addition, there are two books in my room. One is about you. You will understand the content when you see it. The other book is a simple sign language book designed specifically for adventurers. You can take it and print and publish it under the name of Stone House. With your professional and shrewd vision, I believe you will soon understand its market value."

"Finally, dear Sister Meng'er, I look forward to our next meeting. I hope that we will have different and rich experiences during our time apart, so that we can have different stories to tell each other in the future. At the same time, I hope that we can remain consistent and different, and become a more complete and perfect good person."

Snap!

Does this girl think I will simply let her off just by saying something sentimental?

I crumpled the letter into a ball and looked down at Lian'er who had a confused look on her face.

"Uh-huh?"

Lian Er took a half step back in the opposite direction of me in confusion. Her action made me realize how angry I was. I immediately restrained my aggressive attitude, put on a kind expression, and coaxed her, "Lian Er, your sister Xiao Lan has gone out to work. You should move in with me for the next few days. During the day, everything else will be the same as before."

Lian'er was stunned, then nodded thoughtfully, with a slightly lonely expression.

"Damn Xiaolan, you are such a heartless villain!"

I cursed in my heart and led Lian'er to Xiaolan's room. Before leaving, she tidied her room very tidy. Similar to Blanny, Xiaolan's room also had many books, but if you look carefully, you will find that their reading directions are completely different. Blanny likes more artistic pictures and texts, while Xiaolan likes relatively practical theoretical materials.

They are both my favorite babies.

A treasure that must be well protected.

I walked slowly to Xiao Lan's desk. On the desk, there were two books neatly placed just as Xiao Lan said. Both books were only twelve or thirteen pages thick. I first opened the sign language book on the top. It was filled with Xiao Lan's own handwriting, and that girl's handwriting was almost the easiest to recognize in the world.

"Even though he seems to be laughing and joking around, he's actually doing his job well...."

I smiled knowingly and turned two pages of the sign language book.
