Guild Boss's Ambition

Miss Bai Ye explained, "The pigeon's memory has been restricted. The pigeon's owner is likely a psychic magician. To prevent the sender from unilaterally reading our information, I will add another seal to the pigeon's memory. However, before I apply the seal, it is possible that the other party has seen your appearance, Uru."

Has Mr. Bai Ge's memory been restricted?

Come to think of it, Bai Ye had been tricked by my system before.

No wonder she looked so unhappy just now.

However, I still have some boyish expectations for Mr. White Dove's reply. Even if I think that the message in a bottle is a stupid thing that destroys the ecological environment, when it is my turn to be the person who picks up the letter in the bottle, I will have the illusion that I am blessed by the god of luck. Moreover, the content of this carrier pigeon letter is indeed very interesting, which can give me a lot of room for thinking.

Like in the old days on Earth, we didn't have so much time to think about how to write a letter.

The read function of some communication software alone is very annoying.

If you are a little slow in replying, some people who are waiting for your message will think that you are deliberately ignoring their existence. In fact, I just want to find the most suitable sentence for replying while drinking milk and thinking about life. Then, because the circuit of thinking is too tortuous and bizarre, in the end, I forget about replying the message completely without paying attention.

Um? etc?

No matter how you think about it, it's the milk-loving procrastinator who has the problem, huh?

but……

Isn’t that so-called procrastinator myself?

Uh...

All in all, I personally really prefer the feeling of a handwritten letter to instant mobile phone messages.

To judge whether a letter is good or bad, you can tell the sincerity of the letter just by looking at the handwriting, then the sentences and format, the number of typos, rhyme and tone, illustrations and annotations, paper quality and the smell of ink. Through the various details in the letter, we can always read a lot of information beyond the text. It is because we have enough time that we can write the most perfect letter for each other.

I remember the main content of my last reply was: "Have you thought of a better story than the wolf and the sheep?"

Surrounded by Bai Ye and Raftan, I curiously read the other party's reply.

"To the destined person: Thank you very much for your reply. If I have the chance, I really want to try the red bean buns you recommended. The weather has turned cold recently. Oranges and honey would be a good health drink. Regarding the question you asked last time, I haven't thought of a definite answer yet. I think there are many good stories in the world, but I don't have the ability to judge whether they are good or bad. Dear destined person, have you thought of the answer to this question?"

As in the past, the writer is still in a confused mood. However, isn’t the question I raised in my last reply actually the same proposition that Ms. Tree of Life Fama gave us?

I remember that Ms. Fama’s question at that time was: Do you like this world?

Apart from the metaphorical nature of the story of the wolf and the sheep, these two questions are the same problem.

What kind of person would think about such boring questions all day long?

Could it be that the person who wrote to me is Ms. Farmer from the Tree of Life next door?

If it was Ms. Farmer, who had a mysterious background but was powerful, then Mr. White Dove's memory restriction and the ridiculously high level of mystery would naturally have a reasonable explanation. However, the temperament of people and words are of the same origin. From the words of these two letters, I did not feel the feeling that Ms. Farmer gave me that day...

"Well, I don't know much about Ms. Farmer, so it's hard to say if she is the one."

However, since the owner of this letter chose to remain anonymous, he probably did not want a stranger to know his true identity. Moreover, the truth spoken by the beggar is still the truth. It does not matter who wrote the content of this letter. All I want to do is to write down my own experience for this chance encounter.

Since my thinking is that of an adult, unless I encounter the Buddhist enlightenment, my position and belief in life, which involves the universe, will not change in a short time. Therefore, what I will write in my reply is naturally the answer I gave to Ms. Fama that day.

"To the destined one: Thank you for your thoughtful advice. I happen to have some excellent honey and oranges here. I will try to make a cup tonight. Recently, the wrath of nature has surrounded the city where I live. It is not safe to let Mr. White Dove continue to deliver letters. There is no need for us to sacrifice a white dove for the story of the wolf and the sheep."

"I have never been a perfectionist. Like you, I cannot judge the pros and cons of one story after another because I know that I am ignorant and subjective. It is precisely because of my narrow vision that I work hard to learn. There are also many hardworking and motivated friends around me who are trying to find a way to have the best of both worlds."

"However, since this is the second time I have answered the same question this week, please allow me to digress a little and further answer the question I have raised. If I had to make a choice at this stage, I think it would be a better approach to keep the story of the wolf and the sheep. After all, this is a classic good story with good subject matter."

"So, my dear friend, what is your opinion at the moment?"

At this point, the originally small piece of letter paper was already filled with words. Since I was not very familiar with the quill pen, I carefully copied the content of the reply again on the spot. In this way, the handwriting in the letter barely had a touch of adult thinking in it, so that people would not be confused and think it was the handwriting of a child.

But when I finished writing the letter, Bai Ye was no longer on the rooftop.

As I put the reply into the box, I asked Raftan, "Where is the White Night man? Why did he run away without saying a word?"

Hearing this, Raftan scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

She replied, "It's not that Miss Bai Ye left without saying a word, but Miss Lan Nong, you were so focused on writing that you ignored our words. Miss Bai Ye saw that you didn't respond, so she said she didn't want to waste time and went back to her room. She also asked me to help pass on a message, saying that she had something for you to see, and asked you not to wander around tonight and go back to her early."

Did you run away because you didn't want to waste time?

I released the pigeon into the sky and joked, "Oh, so she's angry now? She's surprisingly petty—"

At this time, Raftan looked up at the sky, and determined the current time from the position of the stars. He nodded and smiled, "It's almost eight o'clock. It's time for Miss Bai Ye to take over and protect Miss Lan Nong. Now, please let me take you back to your room as soon as possible. Otherwise, if our Sophie waits too long alone, she will be frowning throughout the dinner."

"When it comes to Miss Sophie, you are always in a particularly good mood, Raftan—"

"Who said she is my most precious sister?"

Under Raftan's escort, I returned to Bai Ye's room. At this time, Lian'er had finished Isabella's homework and was playing with Xiaoban in the room. We did not let her know about my crisis and just let her live the same life as before, but she herself was confused about the changes in other people and felt closer to me because of my alienation.

As soon as she saw me going back to my room to rest, the little girl immediately left Xiaoban behind and pounced on me.

Looking at Lian'er's destructive move, I, who only had 5 points of strength, immediately took a horse stance and resisted Lian'er's attack with all my strength like an American football center.

"Ugh, it's so heavy! Lian'er, haven't I told you many times? Don't pounce on friends of the same age. You're too strong, you'll push us down and get hurt! Hey, hey, hey, are you listening? Um, wait! No, not there, stupid Lian'er! Don't... don't keep rubbing my chest, uh, it's itchy, uh, hahaha, don't tickle me, I surrender! I surrender!"

I don't know which bastard she learned bad things from, but my Lian'er actually used her clumsy skills. The child's nimble fingers poked all the sensitive funny spots on my body at once, making me laugh so hard that I was sweating all over. She stopped her actions with a proud look on her face, while Bai Ye on the side took in the whole scene with a playful smile.

"This little guy seems to know your story." Bai Ye said with a smile.

"Ah! Ah!" Lian'er put her hands on her hips and nodded repeatedly.

"Huh?! How did you find out?" I asked in surprise.

As an answer to the question, Lian'er tied her hair into two short ponytails.

The answer is obvious, it is the talkative Gu Shan Loli.

but……

"Wait a minute, I remember Gu Shan probably didn't know about this either?"

In response to my doubts, Bai Ye speculated, "There were so many adventurers who witnessed you being attacked that day, so there must be a lot of rumors within the guild. It's only a matter of time before Gu Shan and the others know about this. Besides, it's not entirely without benefit to let them know about our current situation. At least our series of abnormal arrangements will no longer arouse suspicion from adventurers."

Indeed, when our adventurers saw the three powerful men from the Tree of Life appear, they all had some negative voices.

They mainly have some bad suspicions, thinking that the upper echelons of our guild have concealed some huge crisis from them.

However, as long as they understand that this is only a personal conflict and not a guild-level battle, they will let down their guard and selectively ignore this trouble and danger that has nothing to do with them, and enjoy the peaceful time they have gained through fighting. This is human nature and what we want to see.

In Bai Ye's words, the fewer stupid teammates the better. If they don't help, they won't make things worse.

however……

"Bai Ye, are you really confident that the bait you cast can successfully catch Lila? From what I know about you, you are a very good diver. By the time she really surfaces and bubbles, I'm afraid you will have made all the preparations, right?"

63. New Toy (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lanong)

"Bai Ye, are you really confident that the bait you cast can successfully catch Lila? From what I know about you, you are a very good diver. By the time she really surfaces and bubbles, I'm afraid you will have made all the preparations, right?"

Hearing my doubts, Bai Ye used the magician's hand to catch Lian'er and brought her to Xiaoban, saying, "Don't make her sound like a deep-sea monster, okay? Besides, compared to this, I have a more interesting toy to share with you. With this prop, you don't have to bring Xiaoban with you all the time when you go out to buy things."

Toys? Props?

"Weapons! Is it a weapon? Bai Ye! Is it a weapon?"

I quickly used Bai Ye's words to make some associations, and my dim fighting spirit was immediately rekindled.

As long as I can fight, I would be willing to be a magical girl even if you ask me to do so!

“Well, now I’m a poster girl who makes a living by being cute…”

"I feel like I have almost completely accepted this role that is similar to that of the clown..."

"But then again, isn't it a respectable idea to put on a mask for the sake of entertaining others?"

As I watched with anticipation, Bai Ye opened the storage box in the corner of the room. Inside the box were many ghost dolls that were originally placed under the bed. In addition to these dolls, there were also some other sundries. In this seemingly messy hill, Bai Ye reached in and dug out a revolver-shaped object.

Gun! I need a Gun!

When I saw the revolver appear, I was immediately overjoyed.

There is no man in this world who doesn't like toys, and there is no man who won't turn back into a little boy in front of a toy he really likes. I immediately snatched the revolver from Bai Ye's hand and asked excitedly: "Bai Ye! Bai Ye! Where did you get such a revolver? Why didn't you share such a fun toy with me earlier?"

Seeing how happy I was, Lian'er and Xiaoban immediately came over.

Among the onlookers, Lian'er, with an inquisitive spirit, boldly put her eyes on the muzzle of the gun and looked inside.

Seeing this, I immediately took back the revolver and shouted, "Lian'er, this thing is dangerous, don't mess with it!"

Lian'er, who was drunk by me, pouted her lips in grievance, and then accused me of my crime with her expressive eyes.

"Why can you touch me but I, Lian'er, can't?" - That's probably what it means.

"No means no. It's for your own good!"

Because I got a weapon that might suit me, I became a little too proud of myself. Even Lian'er's pitiful appearance couldn't take my eyes off the revolver.

While feeling the cold touch coming from the gun, I excitedly asked Bai Ye: "Bai Ye! Bai Ye! How did you get this pistol? Where are the bullets? Do you have any bullets prepared to match this pistol?"

Unlike me who was extremely excited, the night at this moment was extremely peaceful.

She didn't satisfy all my desires and bring me bullets like she usually did. Instead, she crossed her arms and stared at me with a frightening look. "Uru, this weapon is a magical product that I recreated through the ancient ruins. Three weeks ago, it didn't exist in the current civilization. Why do you call it a pistol?"

"Oops, I was so excited that I accidentally exposed my flaws."

"Although Bai Ye should have guessed a long time ago that I didn't lose my memory, she still doesn't know about the things on Earth."

Faced with Bai Ye's cold expression, my smile stiffened and slowly turned into a silent horizontal line.

"I……"

I tried to think of something to say, but my mind was a mess.

Looking at me who was hesitant, Bai Ye sighed, and while hugging Lian'er who didn't understand the situation, he caressed her, and with a worried tone, he directly broke through the ambiguous barrier that blocked our communication: "Uru, you didn't lose your memory from the beginning to the end, right? You know your past, please tell me, why is your past connected to this weapon?"

I……

I was afraid to answer Bai Ye's questions.

I always feel that once I answer her question, it would be equivalent to admitting that I am an outlier.

I have always considered myself a human being, but the system says I am a mysterious fairy.

As soon as I told them one of the secrets, they would ask more and more in-depth questions.

So annoying... So annoying...

In my troubles, Bai Ye's words continued to hit my bottom line: "Uru, Lila chose to attack you because of your background. In the next battle, everyone who stands up for you will risk their lives. Even if you don't want to reveal your secrets, I think you should at least tell me."

Bai Ye’s suggestion makes sense. To deal with Lila, the more information the better.

but……

"Can you guarantee that you won't be possessed by someone else again? In fact, even if you have a soul contract, you may not be able to keep my secrets 100%. Besides, in my opinion, even if my past is the reason why Lila attacked me, it can't help in this battle. In other words, my past is information you don't need."

In the end, I resolutely rejected Bai Ye's proposal and let the secret remain my own.

Hearing this, Bai Ye showed an understanding expression and smiled again: "Well, although I don't think I will fail again, but since you have your reasons for keeping the secret, I won't force you to tell it in full. And according to the surface records of ancient documents, the weapon you are holding in your hand now is not called a pistol, but a magic pill launcher."

"Magic Ball Launcher? What a strange name."

Puzzled, I immediately performed an identification spell on the iron pipe in my hand.

Perhaps because I already had some knowledge about this item, the system did not directly declare this appraisal a failure, but instead gave the result of "imperfect success".

【Bai Ye's Retro Magic Ball Launcher (can be renamed)】:

A special technological weapon from the early days of a lost civilization. It can instantly release a variety of magic by firing bullets filled with special magic patterns. This weapon is very simple to use. Just unlock the safety and pull the trigger. Even a level 1 goblin can use it smoothly. The power of the weapon depends mainly on the strength of the magic bullet and the user's hit rate.

After seeing the identification results, I immediately changed the name of the prop to: M29 Revolver.

After renaming the pistol, I pretended to be a firearms expert and recited the knowledge I learned from FPS games: "M29 revolver, 10.9 12/18 inch long barrel, caliber mm, six-round cylinder, three-dot front sight, firing rate to rounds per minute, is a powerful but slow-range double-action revolver."

"..."

After hearing what I said, Bai Ye pinched Lian'er's cheek and fell silent because of my speech.
