Lin Xi casually summoned a small flame, used it to heat up some canned braised pork, and then ate bread with the braised pork, which had a unique flavor.
When she was eating happily, Muriel next to her suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, after the renovation of your store, will it sell this thing called fried pork chops?"
"This...should be possible?"
In fact, Lin Xi also purchased an electric fryer so that in addition to selling milk tea and some drinks on the second floor, he could also sell some fried goods.
But what she originally wanted to do was sell wholesale frozen fried food similar to Kaifeng Cai Fried Chicken. As for whether fried pork chops were sold wholesale, she wasn't sure.
And even if there was, it would definitely not be as delicious as the one Yuzi made for herself, so she gave an ambiguous answer.
After hearing this answer, Muriel was also a little confused: "Is it possible?"
"So, I haven't thought about it yet." Lin Xi spread his hands.
And she suddenly remembered that this wolf girl had beaten her clerk and almost smashed the store.
Although after getting along with each other, she found that she was not such a bad person and was even a little cute, but she still felt that this matter still had to be left to Feina to decide. Unless Feina forgave Muriel, Lin Xi would not let this happen. A wolf girl enters the store.
Seeing Lin Xi's sudden silence, Muriel seemed to understand what she was thinking. The wolf ears on her head suddenly drooped. After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and said loudly:
"When I get back, I'll apologize to your shop assistant!"
After saying that, she lay down on the table and buried her head in her arms to cover up her feverish cheeks.
For Muriel, who has had almost no one dare to disobey her since she was a child, it can be said that it is quite rare to bow her head and apologize to others.
Although she has been encountering some unpleasant things recently, in a sense, it has made her grow a little.
Seeing her like this, Lin Xi couldn't help but smile a little: "Pfft - if Feina forgives you then, I will ask my maid to make you a fried pork chop."
Of course, with Feina's character, it should be very simple to forgive her.
So Muriel's wish should be easy to come true.
"I...I...when I get home...I will definitely go and apologize to her...I want to get her forgiveness, and it doesn't matter if others laugh...I will still have to taste that... Freshly cooked hot fried pork chops! And a full bottle of Coke with it!"
There were little stars in Muriel's eyes. As she spoke, she wiped the corners of her mouth as if she couldn't stop drooling.
Seeing that she hadn't apologized successfully yet, but looked like she wanted to eat fried pork chop, Lin Xi could only
He stood up helplessly and touched her head: "Very good, very good, very good~ Let's talk about it when the time comes."
Seeing Lin Xi touching her head inexplicably, Muriel's face turned from white to red at a speed visible to the naked eye.Seeing that Lin Xi had touched her for almost ten seconds and still didn't want to let go, she quickly shook her head and broke away from the clutches of the little cat girl.
"There are people watching around, don't touch my head!"
But in fact, because the other teams haven't come back yet, and the other team members don't know where they are, there is still almost no one around.
"It's just convenient." Lin Xi waved his hand after a little aftertaste of the touch.
As for the rest of the fruit platter, the two of them ate half of it.
After eating everything, Lin Xi folded the lunch box again, stuffed it back into the dimensional warehouse, and put away all the other tableware. The garbage was thrown directly into the recycling space door, and the rest area suddenly became empty again. Became clean and tidy.
At this moment, the team members also came back, and the three gray-haired cat ladies immediately came over, sniffing around.
"Captain, we're back!"
"I'm back."
"There seems to be something very fragrant?"
Tia's right hand was as smooth and soft as before, with no signs of burns.
Gunter was also in the returning team, and he was still carrying a large bag of things in his injured hand. It seemed that the injury had been completely healed.
"Welcome back, what is Gunter holding in his hand?"
"It's rock dumplings, dried meat, pickled cucumbers and freshly picked wild fruits. Do you want to eat it, Mr. Lin Xi?" Gunter said.
Dorothy sighed and said: "Because the store is closed, there is no instant noodles to eat, so we can only eat rock dumplings."
After hearing this, Lin Xi was a little embarrassed and could only scratch his head: "Ah haha, it will open again in three days~ We have just finished lunch, so no need."
Speaking of this, Lin Xi suddenly had an idea and took out all the remaining cans and Fat House Happy Water from the dimensional warehouse.
Under the curious eyes of everyone, she opened one can of each kind, heated it over a small flame, and placed it on the stone table.
Although it was just an ordinary canned food and the appearance was ordinary, it was still rare and delicious compared to the shabby dry food prepared by the team members.
"It smells so good. Is this what the captain just ate?"
"No, I'm eating other things. These are just extra. Let's share them~"
"Oh~!!!"
Chapter 203 Is the Taste of Lying
After everyone finished eating, other teams came back one after another.
However, most of them were sent back using teleportation crystals, and they all suffered heavy losses. Almost all of them were seriously injured, and the staff responsible for treatment were overwhelmed for a while.
After the personnel count was completed, Darby came to find Muriel and apologized solemnly: "I'm very sorry. This was our negligence. Fortunately, nothing happened to your team. In order to express my apology, I will give it to you on behalf of the Adventurer Guild. Triple pay for all team members.”
"Hmph... Really? I can only say that luckily nothing happened." Muriel was too lazy to pay attention to him and could only nod in agreement.
As for Lin Xi, she just watched from the side.
Although she wanted to beat this man up now to vent her anger, she couldn't ignore Muriel's previous request.
"Then, the final stage of resolving this mutation will begin in the afternoon. You still have one hour to prepare. At that time, please go to the ruins with us to perform the ceremony."
"I know." The wolf girl waved her hand impatiently.
Darby seemed to know that the eldest lady didn't like him, so he didn't ask for trouble and simply walked away.
After Darby walked away, Lin Xi asked: "What is the ceremony? Where are the ruins?"
"I do not know."
This standard answer was so ordinary that it made Lin Xi choke for a while. It took a long time to react: "Huh? You don't know how to perform that ritual?"
"But I really don't know. According to the notes handed down, it is written on the wall in the ruins. I will naturally know it when the time comes."
Not right.
No matter how you think about it, something is wrong.
Lin Xi's intuition told her that there was definitely something wrong with this ritual.
Even though the person who performed the ritual did not know the process of the ritual, it was strange that Muriel had to perform it.
If someone from the Fortis family must perform the ritual, it doesn't actually have to be Muriel. You can just find someone stronger than her, right?
And judging from Darby's small actions, it seems that they really want to kill him, and they don't even care about Muriel's life or death.
If you really care, there is no need to let Muriel join this team, just let her wait in the safe area, and then wait until the other teams finish solving the black crystal, and then she can perform the ritual.
Or, in fact, this man named Darby just wants to kill Muriel?
If we follow this assumption, the various problems encountered in this operation can be easily explained.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi called in her heart: "Noya? Can you do me a favor?"
…………
after an hour.
Three people were walking on the ancient stone brick path.
They are Darby, who is leading the way, and
Lin Xi and Muriel followed behind.
The three of them walked together for about 5 minutes, and finally came to a small stone building.
This building seemed to be quite old, and its style was exactly the same as the black crystal pedestal Lin Xi had seen before.
Sunlight (?) shines into the building through the stone door, and what can be seen is a staircase leading underground.
Darby walked in front. Lin Xi and Muriel looked at each other and followed.
Although the interior of this building is made of stone, the color of the stone looks a bit strange, and the patterns on the surface are also very complicated, giving it a vague sense of technology.Although there are no lights, some crystals with greenish white light are dotted on part of the rock wall. The crystals are all regular and symmetrical prisms, which look quite beautiful.These crystals emit a soft light, which illuminates the surrounding environment. However, Lin Xi's night vision ability is quite outstanding now. Although it is not as clear as daytime, she can still see clearly.
The three of them walked up the stairs for more than a minute and finally reached the ground.
This is a room of about 30 square meters. The room is empty. The only thing is a door on the wall facing the three people. The door frame is not a door, but a white light curtain, like It's like applying Gaussian blur, so people can't see clearly what's inside the door.
"Okay, this is the time when the ceremony will be held. Next is Miss Muriel's work alone. Let's wait outside." Darby said with a smile.
"Eh, me?" Muriel pointed at herself, looking a little hesitant.
"Yes, please go in and perform the ritual according to the instructions on the mural. Only then will the changes this time truly subside." Darby had a warm smile on his handsome face, and it was impossible to tell that he was lying. "Please hurry up a little bit. If it takes too long, something bad may happen."
"——Of course, I learned about it from the internal records of the Fortis family. I don't know what it is exactly, but it's usually done in time. Please hurry up a little bit."
The red-haired wolf girl nodded hesitantly and replied: "Yes."
Then she took steps and prepared to walk towards the door of light.
At this moment, Lin Xi’s shout came from behind again: “Stop!”
Muriel was startled, stopped, and turned her head, but for some reason there was a little hope in her eyes.
Lin Xi pointed at Muriel who paused and said to Darby: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. My mission is to bring this person back to the ground intact and healthy. So, could you please explain what’s in it?”
Although Kitten Girl's attitude was a bit aggressive, Darby remained calm and smiled like the spring breeze: "This... I don't know about it either. I just accepted the guild's task and assisted Miss Muriel impartially. That’s all—”
"You're lying!" Lin Xi interrupted him rudely, "You know there is danger behind this door, and you specifically asked Muriel to go there just to get rid of her, don't you?"
"What? How could this happen?" Darby covered his mouth in surprise, "In the mission briefing I got from the president, it only said that the front is a ceremonial hall that only people from the Fortis family can enter. Complete After the ceremony, the mutation can be suppressed for decades. I wholeheartedly consider all the adventurers and the Fortis family, so I personally accepted this mission."
"Then tell me, what exactly is that ceremony?"
"I'm not from the Fortis family, so I don't know the specific situation."
Seeing that he was still pretending to be stupid, Lin Xi sighed, took out a pendant with an orange crystal hanging from the bottom from his pocket, stretched out his hand and gestured in the air.
Suddenly, the crystal glowed slightly and made a very clear sound.
It was the sound of conversation between two people.
Chapter 204
"Is that ready?"
"Of course! Even with an average physical strength of level 5, if you eat this, you will fall down within [-] minutes, not to mention that the guard is only level [-]..."
"Haha... After she faints, use the shackles I gave you to cuff her, so as not to ruin our good things again... Also, remember to take away all the magic props on her body. They don't look cheap, so they are Just some extra income.”
"Then what will Lin Xi do with him after this mission is completed?"
"Just throw it to any slave trader. Anyway, it's just a person who comes from nowhere. No one will care if he disappears."
……
Later, the two began to discuss specific matters about dividing the spoils.
As the recording played, the original warm smile on Darby's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became more ferocious.
Because that recording was exactly the conversation he had with President Sarah an hour ago.
Although out of caution, they did not explicitly say that they wanted to assassinate Muriel, but only used words such as "that plan" and "plan three" instead, so it was not possible to hear that they wanted to assassinate Muriel. However, the malice towards Lin Xi was very obvious in his words.
Muriel also covered her mouth in surprise.
"So, Mr. Barbie can figure out
Can you explain this recording?I happened to pass by your tent an hour ago and recorded this by chance..."
Of course, Noah actually used the invisible parameter and squatted next to the tent to record it, but at this time, he definitely couldn't tell it.
Darby's heart was filled with strong murderous intent.
He had expected that Lin Xi would definitely come out to stop him at this time, but he never imagined that Lin Xi would actually use recording magic props to record his conversation with Sarah, and do it so unknowingly that he even sent someone to None of the assassins who went out for surveillance were aware of when or how it was done.
Although he had no intention of letting go of the little guard in front of him, after listening to the recording, he decided to deal with Lin Xi now.
After all, only the dead can't speak.
After a long while, Darby first sighed, then pretended to be regretful and said: "My name is Darby!... Oh, yes, yes, it is still too obvious... I have to admit, you are indeed very keen, but Your crystal magic device should no longer work, right? Can you beat me in a place like this? Just with your level [-]?"
As he spoke, he drew the sword from his waist with his right hand, exerted force on his feet, and rushed towards Lin Xi.
At the same time, his left hand behind his back quietly pinched the communication crystal.
Seeing Darby's posture, Lin Xi didn't hesitate and quickly pulled out her weapon from the dimensional warehouse.
