After leaving the team, the adventurers regretted it

"Racial discrimination?" Linda asked puzzledly.

"Discrimination, what? Only humans discriminate against us orcs, not orcs discriminate against humans. Do you understand? If you continue to disturb my business, you are discriminating against orcs!"

The minotaur with an iron ring on his nose pushed Linda aside and walked towards Kafni with a smile: "Dear adventurer, do you want to come to our store and be a roast chicken... ahem, no, be a princess? You can earn ten gold coins a day at least, which is much easier than the hard adventures."

Upon hearing this, Kafni flew into a rage: "Ha?! You despise me, don't you? I'm not done with you today!"

"Then Grandpa Niu really needs to learn from him!"

The minotaur snorted and reached out to grab Kafni with his big hand. He glanced around to see if there were any people from the Law Enforcement Bureau around. The corner of his mouth curled up, and a dark thought came to his mind.

At this moment, a big hand like an iron clamp grabbed Niutou's wrist and gently pulled it away. With a click, Niutou's wrist broke on the spot!

How come this human is stronger than me, Grandpa Bull?

The minotaur didn't care about the pain, and looked at the calm Linda in shock. As a level 7 'bull warrior', it tended to be strong, but it couldn't move at all after being grabbed by the wrist by this human!

"You're done. My boss is from the Mandragora family. You're in big trouble!" The Minotaur covered his wrist in panic. "Wait here if you dare!"

After saying that, he ran away.

Are all orcs so bullying and afraid of the strong?

Linda shrugged helplessly and looked at Kafni who looked unhappy: "Are you okay?"

"When I regain my strength, I will first wipe out the minotaurs from the world." Kafni said hatefully.

The two did not foolishly wait for the other to come back for revenge. Instead, they stopped a carriage according to the address given by Lulu and headed to the inner city area of ​​Hongtao City.

On the way, Linda thought of the Mandragora family mentioned by the Minotaur, and felt a little amused. This family was exactly Leah's family!

The Mandala family is one of the largest families in Hongtao City. They mainly deal in mining and some gray businesses that hover on the edge of the imperial law. They also dabble in gambling and prostitution, and are the veritable local tyrants in Hongtao City.

But because of Leah, Linda became friends with Mrs. Belinda of the Mandragora family.

Sometimes when he came to Hongtao City to prepare supplies for the attack, he would visit that lady and collect supplies with the help of the Mandala family's connections.

But for some reason, Leah never returned to Red Heart City, and it seemed that she had a serious conflict with her family. Every time Mrs. Belinni mentioned Leah, she would put on a sad face and ask Linda to take good care of Leah.

Now that he and Leah had parted ways, Linda was naturally too embarrassed to visit Mrs. Belinda again. He planned to quietly enter the city, invite the "child" mentioned by Lulu to join the team, and then quietly leave.

He took out a note that he had written in advance from the pocket on his belt. This was the address that Linda had written down. It read: No. 75, Hongyanshi Avenue, Seventh Ring Road, Inner City, Hongtao City.

Lulu never told him the other person's name. She only knew that she was an eighteen-year-old, shy girl.

Be kind, remember to be kind...Linda rubbed her face and practiced a sunny smile.

Kafni watched from the side and curled his lips, "Disgusting."

About half an hour later, the two arrived at 75 Red Rock Avenue.

Chapter 72 Waste Girl

This is a white dome-shaped house covering an area of ​​about 100 square meters with a small garden outside.

But the house was surrounded by weeds, and there was only a small path leading to the front door.

After getting off the carriage, Kafni saw the desolate scene and his face fell. "The address given by the orc was correct, right? It doesn't look like anyone lives here."

"No, if there's no one here, even this path would be overgrown with weeds." Linda came to the door, knocked, and said loudly, "Excuse me, is anyone here? I'm the adventurer recommended by Lulu!"

Boom, boom, boom!

I knocked on the door more than ten times, but there was no response.

not at home?

Linda frowned, looked around, and found that all the windows in the house had curtains drawn.

It was a hot day, and he put his ear to the wall, but he could not hear the sound of the internal cooling array operating.

Doesn't seem to be at home.

There was no choice but to rent a hotel temporarily and come back to check in the afternoon.

About ten minutes after the two men left, a rustling sound of footsteps was heard in the house.

The person approached the gate like a timid hamster, and looked out cautiously through the peephole. After confirming that the two strange adventurers who called her had left, she covered her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, muttering to herself in a timid voice:

"No, I didn't activate the cooling array. That's great..."

The girl in the house was only wearing a loose white top with a pattern of an orange cat engraved on it. Her fair body was covered with sticky sweat. Even though the room was extremely hot and stuffy, the girl was still holding a large furry bean worm doll.

It seemed that he had nothing in his hand, and he didn't even dare to walk to the door to observe.

Then, the girl went to the living room to check the food in the refrigerator. It was filled with boxes of chopped kohlrabi. With her and the kitten's similar appetites, it would be enough for the next half month.

She took out a box of chocolate ice cream from the bottom freezer and held it in her palm, smiling with relief.

"Haha, hahahaha... It's so good to be a waste."

The girl ate one-fifth of the ice cream, licked her lips, and then reluctantly put it back in the refrigerator. She returned to the bedroom and lay on her back on the bed, holding a red and blue puppet handheld game console in her hand, which she placed on the towering panda.

This way, her arms didn't feel strained at all, the distance was sufficient, and she didn't have to worry about her eyesight deteriorating.

The girl used her waist to control the fingernail-sized puppet inside to jump, attack, and defeat the slime monsters one by one.

The sun set quickly and in the blink of an eye it was dusk.

Boom boom boom!

dong dong dong dong!

There was another rapid knock on the door.

"Excuse me, is anyone home? I'm the adventurer recommended by Lulu, and I'd like to invite you to join the team!"

The clear male voice outside frightened the girl so much that her face turned pale. She buried her head in the quilt, with a pair of bare feet exposed outside, and she was trembling.

Who is outside? Don't come in. She doesn't want to be an adventurer anymore!

Please beg that person outside to let this useless waste like her go!

...

"Still not home?"

Linda withdrew his hand in disappointment and walked to the window, trying to find a gap to see what was going on inside.

If this house really was uninhabited for a long time, he would have to consider it a wasted trip and go back to Baige City.

The problem was that the curtains were drawn very tightly, leaving no gap at all.

Judging from the weed-free path outside, there were probably people living here.

By chance today, the owner of the house went out for an adventure and hasn't come back yet?

"Come and see again tomorrow."

Linda left with Kafni reluctantly.

On the second day.

Still so.

The house's cooling array was not turned on, and there was no sign that the door had been opened.

Linda deliberately stuffed a piece of grass on top, and when he passed by, he found that it did not fall off.

He and Kafni had no choice but to go out into the wild and fight monsters to spend the day.

There are no good leveling areas around Hongtao City. Either the monster levels are too high or too low. At the end of the day, Linda only harvested 24 level 5 magic cores.

I sold it for 50 gold coins and 240 mystery points.

Day three.

Originally, this was the day he would return to Baige City with his 'new team members'.

As a result, after three days, I didn't even see the other person.

He couldn't help but wonder if the other party had encountered something during the adventure and couldn't come back...

As usual, he came to No. 75 Red Rock Avenue, but this time was different from the previous two days. The scene before him cheered up Linda's depressed mood.

A short middle-aged man was walking towards here from the other side of the house, carrying a large bag of dolls.

There was an old carriage on the road, with many bags filled with dolls in the carriage. From the exposed corner, one could see that most of them were Q-version plush monster dolls.

The point is not here. The 'child' Lulu was talking about was a middle-aged man who looked at least 40 years old?

Linda opened her mouth in shock.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" The uncle stared at the two of them warily.

"Actually, we are adventurers recommended by Lulu..."

"Lulu? Who is that? I don't know her. Anyway, I understand what you mean. You also want to take on the job of sewing dolls, right?"

When the uncle heard Linda say this, a look of contempt emerged on his face. He looked Linda up and down. Such a big adventurer, yet he made a living by sewing dolls like a girl.

"Doll, what are you talking about?" Linda was confused.

"Sewing handmade dolls?"

The uncle threw a large bag of dolls in his hand onto the car, randomly skipped a few inspections, and sighed:

"As expected of a doll sewn by a former elite adventurer, there is not a single thread left, and the joints are seamless. Tsk tsk! Giving that kid a copper coin seems a bit too little."

As he spoke, the uncle opened a box in the carriage. Inside was a lot of cotton and shrunken stuffed doll skin. He said to Linda, who seemed to understand something:

"Here, I sew these dolls. One doll costs one copper coin. I may be slow at first, but once I get used to it, sixty dolls a day will be no problem."

"One copper coin each?" Linda's face changed.

It takes at least 10 to 20 minutes to sew a doll like this.

The reward was only one copper coin... and I couldn't even buy the black bread that was mixed with sawdust and was as hard as a stone.

"Why, you think it's too little? She's been doing this for two and a half years and is very skilled. I'll still give her one copper coin each. You're a newcomer, and you're still expecting to go to heaven?"

The uncle pointed to the weed-covered house and said unhappily.

"First of all, one copper coin is indeed too low. You are really evil." Linda looked at the other party sternly: "Second, I will give you a gold coin. I want to ask, is there anyone in that house?"

Linda took out a golden round coin from his arms, on which was engraved the totem of the world tree.

The uncle's eyes immediately lit up: "You don't plan to sew dolls?"

"Of course not!" Linda shook her head. "I came here to look for the owner of this house. I have been here for three days but have not been able to see her."

Chapter 73 Linda seduces the ignorant girl

After the other party took the gold coin, his attitude became much warmer. His eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, and he put the gold coin carefully into his pocket.

This man called himself Mingde. He was a retired adventurer and now worked as a doll merchant.

The main pit, uh, is mainly sold to foreign adventurers.

In response to Linda's question, Uncle Mingde smiled and said, "You can't see her, that's right! I have known that girl for two and a half years, and I have never seen her once!"

"Then how did you get those dolls?" Linda pointed to the big bag in the carriage with a strange look on her face.

“We are a trust transaction.”

Uncle Mingde said: "The child would put the doll outside in advance, I would take it away, and then leave the corresponding copper coins at the door, and she would come out to get it herself."

"You've never seen her?" Linda was surprised.

"Well, I only heard her voice, it was soft and gentle, it must be a girl. One time I was curious about what the child looked like, so I put the reward away and hid outside, waiting for her to come out. As a result, after waiting for half an hour, the copper coins were taken away by a passing adventurer, and she didn't come out!"

"I had no choice but to ask for the copper coin back and put it at the door. When I left, I came back a few minutes later and the copper coin was gone. But there was a note saying thank you for helping her get the copper coin back."

Uncle Mingde smiled and said, "He's a good and polite kid, but he's a little shy and doesn't want to show up."

Is this a 'kind of'? This is the ultimate social phobia!

Linda secretly complained in his heart.

He looked at the white house with a complicated expression. He had been there for three days and thought the other party was not at home, but in fact, he was deliberately avoiding him every time?

You don’t even turn on the cooling array, aren’t you feeling too hot?

Or, for the sake of thriftiness?
