Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

"I have Sister Tree to help..."

The girl wanted to argue, but seeing Otto's serious expression, she stopped talking.

She stroked the little animal in her arms and said quickly, "With the help of the bunny, I won't be surrounded by monsters."

Meimei picked up the little monster she had been holding, and everyone saw that it looked like a rabbit, or rather, a monster with the appearance of a rabbit.

Leon looked at its panel. This creature was called the Moon Hidden Rabbit. He had never seen this kind of monster before.

The system says it's adept at sensing danger and can inform people or animals it recognizes.

Meimei touched Yueyin Rabbit's head and said, "Rabbit is so cute, Rabbit is so great, it's all thanks to Rabbit that I can feel at ease."

"You should go back to the village first." Otto said to the girl.

The old man lifted the hem of his coat, and Leon saw that the image of a sea dragon was also embroidered on the robe under the old man's coat.

It turns out that this Heart-Slaying Swordsman is also from Huanwo Village?

Meimei nodded to Otto, turned and walked into the water.

"Is everything okay? Let her go back alone?" Zoe couldn't help asking.

Otto looked at the chestnut-haired girl, his expression softening considerably. "That child is exceptionally gifted, naturally able to obtain information from spirits. If she doesn't act recklessly, she won't be trapped in such a crisis."

After Meimei left, Otto turned to face Leon, staring at him with a pair of sharp eyes.

"Mr. Li Ang, although Mengze Island is my hometown, I came back this time for you."

225. Unknown Person

"for me?"

Li Ang's first reaction was that the old man had something that only a sorcerer could help with, so he came to him specifically.

From the impression I get, Otto is a pure warrior, and he has a sense of being otherworldly.

He also had no intention of obtaining a seat on the Knights' Decision Council. He was able to be on it purely because of his strong strength and the high merits he received for completing some of the tasks.

[Name: Otto Yulm]

[Race: Ox-Horned Tribe]

[Occupation: Swordsman, Level 9]

[Summoned Creature: Sword Soul Clone]

[Energy Source: Sea Dragon Tide Bone Flute, Level 8]

[Equipment: Sword Intent Tempered Longsword, Level 9]

[Secret: Comprehensive Secret—Slash of the Heart, Heart Unleashes the Flying Sword Domain]

[Skills: Swordsman [Swordsmanship Unity, Severing Sword, Breaking Boundary Swordsmanship], Weapon [Sword Intent Release], Self-Created Swordsmanship [Heart Break]]

[Combat Power Increase: 74%]

Among the 9th-level strongmen, Otto's panel has very few words, but it contains a lot of information in every place.

The nickname "Heart-Slashing Swordsman" comes from the "Heart-Slaying" style of swordsmanship that he created and never concealed. Simply put, it is enlightenment. However, the so-called swordsmanship is sometimes very mysterious. Can you really understand it just by understanding it?

Apart from one man and one sword, the bone flute at his waist faintly resonated with the power of waves, adding strength to his sword. After all, this was the magic limit that all conventional races in Newbis were born with, and no other superfluous items were equipped.

According to people who have seen him fight, the sword alone is enough for this man, and he doesn't think there is anyone in the world who can withstand his sword.

After seeing Otto's swordsman skills, Leon felt that this was not an exaggeration.

He himself is also a swordsman, and he has seen many swordsmen, including Zoe, Mott and others. Different swordsmen have different swordsmanship, but when they reach a certain level, they will master higher-level swordsmanship skills, which often cover swordsmanship that they have not learned before.

Otto's swordsmanship can be called "the unity of swordsmanship", so is there any need to question his level?

"I have heard of Mr. Li Ang a long time ago." Otto said.

"No need to be so polite," Li Ang smiled, "Just call me by my name. You are my senior."

"I wonder what you want to talk to me about?" he asked.

Otto looked around at the scene: the remains of monsters, blood everywhere, the exhausted rescued locals, and the members of the Star Flower Troupe who were covered in mud and water from the wetlands.

"Which hotel are you staying at? I'll come find you later."

Hearing what Otto said, this matter is quite important.

Li Ang and his team members immediately sorted out the materials of the dead monsters.

He originally only wanted to take the precious parts, but the leader of the people he rescued seemed to have some connections in the nearby Lakeside City and could send people to collect them all. He said that in order to repay the life-saving grace, he would help with this matter, and then help Li Ang collect the materials and find a place and room number.

"Alas," the leader sighed, "my pet water snake is huge. It used to accompany us on everything, and we never encountered any danger. Now my son is taking it to pick up customers, and I got bored and came out to pick some herbs for tea, and this is when I encountered something like this."

The group chatted as they returned to the second lakeside town after landing on Mengze Island. This place is called Huanyeer locally, which means "sea-born flower" in the local dialect.

The sea flower is an aquatic plant that only grows in the cleanest lakes and marshes among the countless marshes on Mengze Island. Its blooming blue and white flowers can float with the waves. It is very beautiful when in bloom and is also a local specialty dish.

After returning to the hotel, the girls needed more time to take a shower and change clothes. Leon finished resting first and came to the front hall. Otto was already waiting there.

"Will it take a long time?" Li Ang asked.

"I want to find a quiet and deserted place."

Leon nodded, returned and knocked on the girls' door, asking them to find a place to eat by themselves while he and Otto went out together.

The old man from the Ox tribe chose a high-end restaurant. From the attic, he had a panoramic view of the lake. The corridors were winding, and the conversations of others were lost in the wind.

The waiter brought the wine cup, Otto filled it up and drank it all in one gulp.

The corner of Li Ang's eye twitched. He was not good at drinking, but the bowl chosen by this old man was bigger than the palm of his burly Ox-type body, and the wine was also strong, so he drank it in one gulp.

Refusing Otto's offer to pour him a drink, he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Otto said, "After the meeting to decide Liu Ling's death, I wanted to talk to you, but Miss Alma occupied your schedule, so I exchanged swordsmanship with other swordsmen. When I looked for you again, you had already left the Holy City."

"We didn't plan to stay in the Holy City for long this time, so we walked pretty fast."

Whether it was Leon or Alafia, they went to Vitask purely because of the temporary resolution meeting triggered by the devil. The blond kid must have a lot of things to deal with in the Ignis airspace.

"What exactly do you want to talk to me about? Any commission?" Li Ang asked.

Otto pondered for a few seconds, as if he was organizing his words.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the lake beside him, but he did not focus on the scenery. Instead, he cast his gaze into the depths of the swamp, near the area with the tallest trees.

"Le Ang, you saw the girl just now. What's your impression of her?"

"The little white-haired girl holding the rabbit? You seem to call her Meimei."

"Yes."

Otto said, "Mengze Island is my hometown. I was born in a village called Huanwo Village, and she is from the same village as me."

"You said before that the child is gifted, and you are also unparalleled in swordsmanship. It seems that Huanwo Village is a place where talented hermits live." Li Ang asked tentatively.

"Well……"

Otto hummed softly and said, "Our ancestors migrated to this island long ago and were its earliest inhabitants. They did pass down some secret techniques, and my swordsmanship training also originated from there."

"And swordsmanship?"

When Li Ang asked this, Otto's eyes showed doubt. The old man realized that Li Ang must first know that Huanwo Village had secret techniques before he would have doubts about the swordsmanship.

"So she told you?"

"Who?"

Leon didn't understand what Otto was saying, he just took out the sea dragon egg he had obtained earlier.

"Um?!"

Otto's attention was immediately drawn: "This is a sacred object worshipped in the village. Where did you get it?"

"Of course I didn't steal it."

Although there was no need to feel guilty, Leon still added an explanation to prevent himself from being distrusted because of his identity as an adventurer.

He briefly talked about what happened at the previous meeting.

"I saw that this egg was something extraordinary, so I bought it. I was considering selecting a summoned beast for the team and wanted to do some research."

"This time when I returned to the village, I did hear that thieves broke in after the barrier was lifted. So this is the reason for the meeting. I already know about it. Thank you for letting me know."

Otto drank another bowl of wine and raised his hand, saying, "Since you bought this egg, keep it. I can make the decision on this matter."

Li Ang said, "I don't know much about Huanwo Village. I've only heard rumors about it. The so-called secret technique is actually related to Farina."

He briefly told Otto that Farina was his old friend and a former member of Barbanus. Otto nodded and said that he still remembered the previous communication between Leon and Barbanus.

"She actually has a deep connection with dragons. It was from her that I learned about the classification of dragon species and the extinction of the sea dragon clan. So I guess if you are worshiping something that might be a sea dragon egg, you might have some secret techniques like her."

"You guessed right. You are worthy of being the military advisor who led a team that once reached the top ranking." Otto praised.

"Let's not talk about the past."

He originally wanted to do a favor by taking out the sea dragon egg. After all, it didn't matter to Leon what he tamed, but reviving the spirit of the egg was more troublesome. But since Otto didn't take the egg back, he continued to keep it.

But what puzzled him was that, although he had no specific acquaintance with Otto before, the other party seemed to have a very good opinion of him?

Otto returned to the previous question: "What do you think of Meimei?"

"After just one encounter, I can't tell what talent she has."

Leon realized that Otto didn't seem to be looking for him because of the sorcerer.

How to focus on the girl I met by chance?

What did he think? The girl was so young, and Otto's question wasn't meant to be a question of relationship, was it? He didn't even know the girl, so it felt a bit strange to praise her beauty in front of her elders.

So Li Ang's answer was from the perspective of talent.

As he said this, he suddenly thought, could this really be related? Because Otto had said before that the girl was born with the ability to sense the will of the spirits, which meant that she had a strong talent as a shaman and witch doctor.

Originally, the sorcerer was considered to be an alienated profession of the two, but Otto is one of the parliamentarians and knows how powerful the sorcerer is. Could it be that he wants Meimei to learn to be a sorcerer?

Otto put down his wine cup and said, "Let's not talk about her talent, let's look at her appearance."

Appearance...what does it mean...

Li Ang said cautiously: "Very beautiful, very cute, and then what?"

Otto blew out a breath, shook his head, and looked at him with a scrutinizing look.

"Didn't you ask that? Why do I feel like you're thinking I'm some slicked-back, powdered-up scumbag who's trying to trick women?" Li Ang muttered to himself.

"It's my problem."

Otto seemed to sense Leon's bewilderment. "Indeed, the question I want to ask may sound a bit too bizarre. That's why I've sought out a quiet place."

"I asked directly."

"You say."

"What do you think is the relationship between Meimei and Meluna?"

"Mei-Meluna?"

Meluna, she is Li Ang’s ex-girlfriend.

A woman who can be said to have a bad personality from some perspectives, but can also be explained as an extremely naive person with divergent thinking and acts in absurd, unrestrained and rebellious manner.

When the mood strikes, he draws his sword; when he wants to push Le Ang down, he pushes him down; when he wants to try different positions, he lets him mess around; when he wants to travel, he goes; when he wants to disappear, he disappears.

Yes, Meluna.

Yes, that's her.

The reason why I feel they look alike when I see Meimei is because her face is basically a childish version of Meluna.

The reason why I didn't recognize her was probably because I had been dazzled by the flowers recently, and coupled with the anger and speechlessness of the woman who left without saying goodbye, I tried my best to forget her, so her appearance was not as clear in my mind as before.

And Meluna doesn't have white hair, but black hair like Leon, and she dyes it from time to time.

"Are they relatives? You want to tell me that Meluna is also from Huanwo Village?"

If powerful swordsmanship was passed down from the Huanwo Village era, then the woman's unreasonable martial arts might explain its origin.

"I..."

Otto hesitated for a moment.

"I didn't state my purpose directly because I wasn't sure about this matter."
