Guild Boss's Ambition
Page 204
However, the high elves' siege strategy happened to begin at this time.
War is the most delicious food for the Necromancer, and Lila will definitely get a strong undead army.
However, in order to conceal her tracks, her undead army should have implemented an elite strategy instead of creating a sea of skeletons around the heavily defended city of Mopolis. If she is really stupid enough to summon an army of undead, there is no need for us to take the risk. Lord Surut, who retreated from Snow Wolf Pass not long ago, will naturally teach her a lesson on my behalf.
sieve!
While I was thinking, an arrow shot towards me from a distance.
Finally, the arrow hit my instant water shield.
There was a piece of paper tied to the arrow, and the paper had a phoenix flame pattern on it.
The Phoenix symbolizes Margaret, the leader of the Alliance of Light, and Corvina of the Snake House and Lord Surut are two of Margaret's relatives. After the last cooperation in Forest Park, I have now stepped half a foot into their faction, but if I want to maintain my hard-earned position, I still need to accept more tests from them.
"To Ms. Maria: We are already helping to find your lost pet. Considering that your other pet was found to be excellent earlier, we have unanimously decided not to get too detailed with you. However, it is now a critical period of the wrath of nature. Just in case, we can only allocate a small number of people and put it on the danger list. Written by the giant himself."
The giant in the letter was undoubtedly the face-loving dwarf city lord. Judging from the tone of his letter, Lila was not smart enough to contact them. If the situation were reversed, I now have absolute confidence that I can reverse right and wrong, describe Miss Maria as a cunning person, and then turn myself, the rebel, into an army of justice, and then transform the power of the military into my own sharp knife.
Basically, as long as we can successfully invite the fox villain Lin En to help, even if we invite one more druid Jacob and his two disciples, Lin En will still be able to defeat the Stone House with an overwhelming advantage in the end.
And the most satisfying thing is that Lin En is an unreasonable psychopath. Even if he knows that I am a fake, he may still play dumb for the fun of killing people. As a monster headed by a fox transformed into a human, he has every reason to hate humans. Reducing the number of intelligent humans is beneficial to the fox tribe to some extent.
Fortunately, fate did not make Lila too smart.
"Bai Ye? Why are you alone on the rooftop? It's rare."
"Good afternoon, Miss Bai Ye."
Just as I put away the military's messenger arrow and prepared to go downstairs to my room, Uru and Raftan, who was responsible for protecting her, also came to the rooftop. At this moment, except for the time when Uru went to the toilet, she would definitely be protected by a platinum-level adventurer or above. In other words, in this week, she was almost one of the most expensive poster girls in Mopolis City.
Think about it! Besides me, who are the people who protect her day and night?
A high elf magic swordsman who calls himself a big goblin...
A half-bred barbarian paladin...
A legendary druid master...
A Splitting Kappa that is perfect for cannon fodder...
A half-dragon ice magician with a regrettable IQ...
If we ignore the favors and tricks, and calculate the daily wages of these adventurers, it is guaranteed to be 100,000 or 80,000 gold coins. And don't forget that those who fully participated in this protection battle also include me, and Ehard who represents the entire Stone House Guild... If these are also counted...
According to conservative estimates, Uru burned 200,000 gold coins in just this week.
Yes! This delicate girl is expensive.
In my mind, she is more valuable than 200,000 gold coins.
In fact, she may even occupy a more important position in my heart than the pendant.
If I could turn back time, I would never experiment on myself through that soul contract.
This is literally asking me to give everything I have.
I have gradually lost track of whether my feelings for this mysterious girl are real or fake.
However, truth or falsehood seems to have become unimportant.
It's like there's no point in questioning my love for her anymore.
I have gradually become unable to question everything around me. My rationality has been slowly corroded by that human disease since I encountered the signing of the contract. The corroded rationality has made my heart weak, and I gradually want to blindly believe in more things in the world, no longer doubting the truth that one plus one equals two, and at the same time I have become lazy in the embrace of love.
After straightening my coat that was messed up by the evening breeze, I smiled and replied to the girl's greeting: "I am looking at the scenery you usually like to see, and I am here to tell you about your good luck. Otherwise, it will fail at the critical moment every time. Even if I am very quick-witted, I may not be able to turn danger into safety every time. By then, Ulu, you will lose a hardworking... friend."
Because of Raftan, I temporarily modified the last two words "slave".
If she knew about my relationship with Ulu, this stubborn Raftan would definitely get to the bottom of it. Once she asked Ahmad, I'm afraid that damn girl would not help me keep the secret. She would just confess everything I did to Ulu, putting me in a troublesome moral dilemma again.
Unlike me, a rare guest, Ulu has a regular habit of coming to the rooftop to take a walk and enjoy the breeze. Recently, she seems to be obsessed with playing with her long hair, and she does a new style almost every day. But what I like most is her undecorated black hair flying in the wind. The pure black color contains infinite destructive possibilities.
"Looking at the scenery?"
After hearing the reason why I came to the rooftop, the sensitive Ulu frowned slightly and said jokingly, "This doesn't sound like your style, Bai Ye. However, I really hope that you can appreciate the beauty of the night while working. Isn't it the cheapest and most affordable entertainment given to us by God to watch the stars move leisurely like this?"
I always thought that Uru was very similar to me, but there was one thing that was completely different from me.
"You are too easily satisfied, aren't you?" I said in disagreement.
She walked to the side and brought two chairs for herself and Raftan from the wall near the entrance to the water tower. She said with a smile, "What else do you think I need? Money? Power? I am not very interested in these two things. It is good enough to be able to meet basic living needs. The next step is to do what I want to do."
"Don't you think you have too much free time?" I asked the girl who took out a red bean bun and started eating.
“Nonsense! My schedule was packed before Lila came to kill me!” the girl protested.
"I mean the ease of mind."
"How busy do you think I should be?"
What Ulu said does make sense. She has money and power now, and she is in good shape in terms of personal life, work, family, friends, etc. There is really no urgent reason for her to work too hard.
but……
Why do I always find a weird sense of disharmony in her?
I confessed my feelings: "Uru, maybe it's my illusion, but I don't think you were born just to be a mission appraiser. If you believe that there is fate and destiny in this world, then you'd better broaden your horizons and work hard to enrich yourself so that you can complete your mission in the future."
"Destiny? What destiny do I have? Bai Ye, do you know something that I don't know?"
The girl shifted her eyes away from her beloved red bean buns and looked towards me curiously, waiting for my answer.
"You know everything I know."
Shaking my head with regret, I continued to state my own observations, which were not rigorous: "But if I am said to have an unfortunate fate, then Uru is the one chosen by God. The degree of misfortune and luck is so extreme that I always feel that there is a big hand controlling our lives, allowing us to meet in this city of Mopolis."
Hearing this, Ulu also fell silent with empathy.
She frowned, looked up at the starry sky, and let the red bean bun in her hand be cooled by the cold wind.
Next to the girl, Miss Paladin had a confused expression on her face. In this silent moment, she interrupted with an embarrassed tone and asked, "Excuse my stupidity, but what are you two talking about?"
……
……
61. Fog (Raftan)
(Raftan-Fritts)
Since the Marching Wolf incident a long time ago, I found that my Chinese level seemed to be a little poor.
Clearly, both Bai Ye and Miss Lan Nong spoke the common language with fluent pronunciation, and I clearly understood the shape, pronunciation and meaning of every word they said. However, in the end, only the two of them could communicate fluently, while I could only pretend to be a taciturn and tough knight, silently waiting by their side, secretly worrying about the content of their conversation.
There is always a limit to everything. When you don’t understand, don’t hesitate to ask.
"Excuse my stupidity, but what are you two talking about?"
Hearing my question, the considerate Miss Lannon immediately smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Raftan! It's all our fault that we were so busy talking about our own things that we didn't notice your feelings..."
"No, Miss Lan Nong is now under our 24-hour personal protection, so she naturally cannot talk about topics that we guards can understand all the time. In fact, as a competent guard, I should pretend to be deaf and not let the protected person feel my presence too much, just like a comfortable piece of clothing."
Although I knew Miss Lannong wouldn't care about this, I still instinctively expressed my professional stance.
As expected, the poster girl immediately clarified politely: "Ms. Raftan, please do not regard yourself as my guard. You are my friend and you are using your identity to protect my safety unconditionally. In this regard, I can't thank you enough. How can I let you stand there like a wooden man and ignore it?"
Miss Lan Nong is indeed a decent and sensible child...
If it were Sophie, would she be able to say such a thing?
It's probably possible, but it won't be as effective.
Although Sophie's words can make people feel respected, they are not as refreshing as Miss Lannon's.
On the other side, Miss Bai Ye also has a similar temperament to Miss Lan Nong. Most of the time, her conversation is as elegant as the four seasons, which is pleasing to the ear: "In fact, what Wu Lu and I just said are just some groundless speculations. It is mainly related to her brave bloodline, which is not an interesting thing."
Somehow, Miss Lannong's expression became strange at this moment.
The black-haired girl murmured, "Yes, it is the bloodline of the hero. This is a setting that makes people complain."
"It's a complaint?" I asked puzzledly, "Is there anything wrong with Miss Lan Nong's heroic bloodline?"
Miss Lannong smiled bitterly, stared at Miss Bai Ye with a strange look and said, "Miss Raftan, don't you think this setting is very childish? It's completely a fantasy plot imagined by adolescent boys. No matter how you think about it, it's impossible for a poster girl like us to pick up the holy sword and chop down those high elves, right?"
I have the opposite view on Miss Lannon's doubts.
"Miss Lan Nong, don't be so arrogant. Although my current advice to you is to run away if you encounter danger, in my mind, Miss Lan Nong, you have always been a strong girl. Judging from your outstanding performance in calmly dealing with that platinum-level assassin, I have no doubt that you are the descendant of a brave man."
"I don't doubt it! This extremely immature script just doesn't seem right no matter how I look at it!"
Miss Lan Nong, who longs for an ordinary daily life, seems to have been unable to let go of the fact that she carries the blood of a brave man.
She shouted loudly for the brave warrior Arius to die, and then bit off the red bean bun as if it were her ancestor.
Finally, she showed a happy expression.
It seems that the taste of the hero Arius is unexpectedly good.
In order to help Miss Lannong get over her grief as soon as possible, I tried to think of the best possible scenario for her.
"Although the bloodline of the hero has brought great trouble to Miss Lannong, it is not without benefits. At least if Miss Lannong wants to regain her lost memories, this bloodline will be a very clear mark. As long as you find someone with the same bloodline of the hero, you will most likely find your relatives."
"A relative?"
Miss Lan Nong smiled thoughtfully, shook her head and said, "Since it's fate, let's go with it. I don't want to force my past self at the moment. Just like Bai Ye said, if this whole thing is not a coincidence, but someone deliberately arranged it, then even if I don't do anything, the truth will probably find me."
Listening to Miss Lannong's remarks, Miss Bai Ye smiled and said jokingly, "In the final analysis, Uru, you are just a lazy person. If you leave everything to fate, then at the end of the story, you are just a part of fate. You are neither great nor wise. You are just a given and negative inevitability."
At that moment, Miss Lan Nong smiled slyly and refuted the sophistry, saying, "Bai Ye, you misunderstood. The so-called laziness is my positive attitude. One of the main reasons for human progress is to satisfy the need for laziness. My laziness now is to reserve energy for work. When will I really be busy? Humph, that scene scares even me."
Staring at the naughty poster girl with loving eyes, Miss Bai Ye showed a rare expression of "I lost to you". With a happy smile on her face, she sighed and said, "I would rather you, a restless little thing, never be really busy. It would be best if you let us solve all the troublesome things."
Miss Lan Nong, who was good at speaking, immediately caught Miss Bai Ye's mistake and asked jokingly, "You said I was restless, and you complained about my laziness. Dear Miss Bai Ye, do you want me to move faster or slower?"
However, Miss Bai Ye, who was also eloquent, was not so easily refuted by Miss Lan Nong. After all, reality was not a Chinese language test. Grammatical errors were not necessarily real errors, and contradictions were not necessarily real contradictions.
Relying on the unreasonable reasonable possibility, Miss Bai Ye gave us a positive answer.
“The answer is a little slower and a little faster.”
Such a rude answer immediately caused Miss Lannong to roll her eyes.
She put one hand on her waist, pointed at Miss Bai Ye, and complained: "According to your logic, couldn't the Supreme God create the stone that even he couldn't move? Dear Miss Bai Ye, what you said really makes things very convenient for those theists. Every time they say that God has his own way, can't they solve all the doubts?"
“Hehe—”
Seeing the girl's serious and angry look, Miss Bai Ye covered her mouth and chuckled. In the laughter, she suddenly looked away, her eyes like a sharp knife swept towards the night sky, and there was a sound of a bird flapping its wings and landing in the night sky, it was a pure white pigeon like snow.
"Oh! Mr. White Dove, are you here to deliver a reply letter?"
Miss Lan Nong recognized the white pigeon at a glance. She stepped forward with a leap of joy, trying to catch the pigeon flying towards her. However, Miss Bai Ye's movements were faster. Her right hand caught the half-flying white pigeon firmly in her palm like lightning, and she shouted in a deep voice: "Wait, this white pigeon looks a little strange."
Hearing this, I immediately put Miss Lan Nong behind me.
Miss Lannong asked stupidly, "Isn't it just an ordinary white pigeon? What's so strange about it?"
Bai Ye frowned and said, "I always feel that it exudes an aura that I hate."
Miss Lan Nong smiled and said, "Aren't there enough things in this world that you hate?"
Miss Bai Ye silently examined the pigeon for a long time, but could not find any clues. She opened the letter box on the pigeon's foot, took out the letter, and handed it directly to Miss Lan Nong, asking, "Who wrote this letter to you?"
"I don't know, it's the same anonymous letter as last time." The poster girl replied.
"What is the content of the letter? How did you find this white dove?" Miss Bai Ye asked.
"It seems that if I don't explain Mr. Bai Ge's reasons clearly, Bai Ye, you will not let me go today──"
So, Miss Lannong immediately recounted the entire story of the carrier pigeon appearing in the back garden. In addition, she also mentioned an unusual fact that I was fully aware of: "By the way, the mystery level of this Mr. White Pigeon is not ordinary high, at least platinum level or above, otherwise there is no reason why my true eye cannot see through it."
"Could it be that it is the pet of some princess or prince?" I asked in surprise.
"Someone who is destined to be together at a certain time and place... Why does this world have stories about wolves and sheep..."
On the other side, after listening to the poster girl's narration, Miss Bai Ye lowered her head and muttered to herself for a while, then analyzed in an uncertain tone: "According to what you said, Uru, this is indeed just a simple communication letter. Although the sender has a special identity, there is no obvious malice between the lines."
"So, should I reply?" asked Miss Lannon.
Miss Bai Ye thought for a moment and replied, "You can reply, but it's best not to ask about the other party's identity or mention your real personal information. If the person in the letter wants to meet you, please notify me first. I will confirm the true identity of the person in the letter for you, and then I will do something to the soul of this white dove."
Before she finished speaking, Miss Bai Ye gave the carrier pigeon an unfriendly look.
Seeing this, the carrier pigeon in the girl's arms immediately began to struggle restlessly.
Unfortunately, Miss Lan Nong did not pity the pigeon. Instead, she handed it to Miss Bai Ye without saying anything. Then she asked the reason: "Bai Ye, what do you want to do with this pigeon?"
