"Of course..." Stank stroked his chin, seeming to be conflicted and struggling, but this state did not last long. He smiled again, showing everyone his shiny white teeth. "I can't refuse. This is really exciting. Besides, I owed this guy my life back at the volcano. What I hate most is owing favors to others, so this time I will just repay you, Aesop! If you can get through this time, we will no longer owe each other anything and can go our separate ways."
In response to Stank's impassioned speech, Aesop kindly reminded him, "You still owe me a life in the snowfield."
Stank: "..."
Damn, you guys really can’t read the atmosphere at all?
Next up is Ganqiu.
Several people turned their eyes to Gan Qiu.
Gan Qiu immediately took two steps back and yelled, "Hey, hey, hey, don't look at me like that. I'm not like Jer who seeks death every day, nor am I like Stank who owes Aesop's life."
"Asshole! Have you forgotten that we just rescued you from Penguin Girl? If it weren't for us, your little silver needle would have been broken!"
"If that's what you mean, I haven't even had a proper fight with you guys back at the volcano!" Gan Qiu pointed at their noses and said, "If it weren't for you bastards, would I have gone from a normal halfling to a three-egg Gatling? I haven't even settled this fight with you yet. Anyway, we don't owe each other anything, so don't try to trick me into running away with you."
"If you don't want to run, then don't run." Jer shrugged. "No one is forcing you to do that."
"That's right, I'm just staying here and not going anywhere!" Gan Qiu was very determined.
Then, Jer casually said, "I just don't know what the arcanist will do to you when he finds you. You've heard what Aesop said, right? The arcanist must think Aesop was led astray. When he gets here and finds out that you were the one who took Aesop to Happy, what will you do then?"
Gan Qiu's expression froze little by little.
He thought about it for a moment, and then... discovered the problem.
If this goes on, it seems like my life is over.
"Hey, I was just joking." Jer spread his hands and said, "Arcanists should be very generous. Maybe nothing will happen..."
"Stop talking." Gan Qiu raised his hand to stop Jer from continuing, and then said righteously, "No matter what you say, I won't change my mind. Yes, I will never leave Aesop! Hey, we are all brothers. How can I stand by and watch my brother in trouble?"
So Ganqiu also got it done.
So there's only one last question left.
Where are you going?
……
A day later, Aitch, Kent and several professors from Deya College came to Dream Town.
"According to Abel, little Aesop should be in this town." Aichi frowned as he looked at the lazy nightmares on the street. "Damn it! Why would little Aesop come to a place like this? He must have been coerced by someone! He's not that kind of person at all!"
"Yes, is that so?"
"Of course it is." Aitch turned around and glared at the person who questioned him. "I watched him grow up, how could I be wrong? Maybe little Aesop isn't here at all. After all, Abel only gave the approximate location, so it could be somewhere else."
"Well, Aesop is already here, or at least he has been here before."
"Asshole! What makes you so sure?!"
"Because..." The professor raised his hand with a strange look on his face, "The statue on the Dream Tower over there is Aesop."
Why do men like Aesop?
When he saw the lifelike statue on the Dream Demon Tower, Aiqi was stunned at first, and then a strong sense of pride surged in his heart. "Look, look, this is little Aesop's ability. He will shine no matter where he is. It hasn't been long since he left the academy, and he has already become a legend here? If Abel knew, he would definitely be very happy... But what is the Dream Demon Tower, and what is that female statue next to him? She's wearing too revealing clothes."
Aiqi is also a very old-fashioned academic who only focuses on academics and has basically no understanding of things in the outside world.
In his opinion, those who were worthy of statues were definitely heroes. For example, the Kingdom of Deya had many statues of war heroes from the war years, while the Deya Academy had statues of successive arcanists, such as Abel's statue, which was the most recent one in the academy.
But it certainly won't stay new forever. Everyone believes that Aesop will be the next person to have a statue erected in the academy.
I just didn't expect that before the college erected a statue for him, someone had already erected one for him outside.
He is indeed a hero!
As one of Aesop's teachers, Aitch was very proud.
But the expressions of the professors who knew what the Dream Tower was became unreadable.
Should I explain this to Professor Aitch?
But everyone knows that Professor Aitch's temper and health are not very good. What if this cruel truth (is this truth considered cruel) is told to him, and he loses control and gets angry, it would be fine, but what if he just attacks directly?
That's a big deal.
So the young professors all turned their attention to Kent, the professor with the highest status and the most seniority besides Aitch.
Then they discovered that Kent's attention was not on Aichi at all. His cunning eyes were always wandering on the passing nightmare, and he would laugh from time to time.
"Kent! Kent!" Aitch also noticed Kent's actions and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing?"
"Um... I'm looking for Aesop."
"Your eyes are about to drill into other people's chests!" Aiki cursed, "Looking for Aesop in a place like that?!"
"That's not a problem," Kent said seriously. "Think about how powerful Aesop is. He knows so many magics. He might have guessed we were coming. So he disguised himself, maybe using gender-changing magic. Even though he didn't learn it at the academy, he might have learned it here."
"Hmm..." Aiqi thought for a moment and muttered, "What you said seems to make sense. Even if he changed his gender, how would you recognize him?"
"Don't worry, I watched that brat Aesop grow up. I raised him with all my heart and soul!" Kent said. "No one knows him better than me. And gender-changing magic will retain many of the characteristics of the person before the gender change. I'm very familiar with these characteristics, and Aesop can't erase them! So I can see it at a glance."
Aiqi immediately said "Oh, oh, oh" and said, "I suddenly feel that you are a bit reliable. What characteristics do you know about Aesop?"
"There's a small birthmark on Aesop's butt... well, it's not really a birthmark. It was caused by me accidentally burning his butt when I was demonstrating fire magic to him."
The corner of Aiqi's mouth twitched violently: "...Abel didn't kill you?"
Kent chuckled twice. "Why do you think I suddenly took a six-month break ten years ago? But my mistake back then is indeed the best way to find Aesop now... Hey, stop right there!"
Kent stopped a passing nightmare demon and said to her righteously, "Show me if there are any marks on your butt!"
Professors: “…”
They originally thought that Kent would be slapped in the face by the other party, but they didn't expect that the Dream Demon Girl, who was stopped, didn't get angry at all in the face of such harassment. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and said seductively, "If you want to see it, you can. I happen to be free today. You look good, so I can give you a discount. What do you think?"
Kent nodded solemnly, then took two steps back, stood beside Aitch, and extended his hand to him.
"Hurry, give me the money."
"Hey, you! Do you take me for a fool?!" Aiqi was so angry that his beard was shaking. "Do you think I can't see what you're trying to do?"
"Isn't this what I'm looking for Aesop?"
"Bullshit!" Aiqi cursed, "You just want to take my money. Let me tell you, there's no way!"
The conversation between the two older professors made the young professors present depressed.
As mentioned many times before, the vast majority of human magicians are staid, academics. Everything about them is focused on strength and talent, and other aspects are, if not weak, then at least completely clueless. This is especially true of Aiki, the oldest member of the Deya Academy, more than a decade older than Abel.
I have been in the academy for more than a hundred years and have never gone out. It is no exaggeration to say that I am a complete idiot in life and social life.
Kent, on the other hand, is the complete opposite, a natural "wanderer", so much so that everyone thinks that many of Aesop's inexplicable ideas come from this guy, and he is the "black" in the saying "birds of a feather flock together".
But these two people were the leaders of this team, which made the young professors feel uneasy.
But there is no way. In the academic world, the most important things are strength and qualifications. Professors like them can only watch and it is difficult for them to even give advice.
What everyone didn't expect was that before the argument between Aitch and Kent came to a conclusion, the Dream Girl's expression suddenly changed: "A-Aesop? Are you talking about that Aesop?"
Several people turned to look over. Aichi was very happy. He finally got the information about his good disciple. He said quickly: "Yes, yes, it's Aesop. He is mine..."
"Bah!" The Dream Demon Girl didn't even wait for Aichi to finish her words before spitting on the ground. "If I had known you were Aesop's friends, why would I have wasted so much time talking to you? Let's go."
Having said that, he left angrily, leaving a few people looking at each other in bewilderment.
"This person...seems to have something against Aesop?"
"But why? Doesn't Aesop have a statue here?" Aichi was very puzzled.
If you can't find the answer, just keep asking.
This time, a male adventurer was asked: "Do you know Aesop?"
The male adventurer immediately revealed an expression of admiration and respect: "Of course I know! Who here wouldn't know him?"
This made the professors even more confused.
It seems that...men like Aesop very much, but women don't like him very much.
Why is this? What did he do?
Er Ba San thinks of a way to get him
Just when the group of professors wanted to dig Aesop out of Nightmare Town, a mysterious and strange convoy had secretly left Nightmare Town a day earlier.
This mysterious convoy is composed of four strange people of different heights, but all of them have their faces covered with thick veils.
They came with a carriage, and on the carriage was a large coffin.
This convoy, which was completely dressed as undertakers, scared away many adventurers along the way. After all, those who were out there believed in some terrifying power to some extent, so they would not want to get close to this convoy that exuded an ominous aura.
And this team is naturally ours...
"Damn it." Gan Qiu pulled off the veil covering his face and threw it fiercely to the ground. "It's so hot, why do I have to suffer this? I'm going to get a heat rash on my face!"
Jer glanced at Ganqiu and said, "Are you afraid of the prickly heat or of Abel? You know, the arcanist may have magic that can monitor a place from a very long distance."
Gan Qiu immediately picked up the veil that had fallen to the ground just two seconds ago, not caring whether there was dust on it, and immediately wrapped it back around her. It was obvious that she was no longer afraid of prickly heat.
But people still have to complain: "Why do we have to be in such a state before we can leave? This is too painful!"
"There's nothing we can do. If we run into the people who come to capture Aesop on the road, we'll be doomed." Jer said, "And we can't let those guys in Dream Town see when we left or which direction we left. I don't think those shameless guys will help us keep a secret."
"What about Bruzi and Klim? Why don't they come with us? Aren't they afraid of retaliation from the arcanist?"
"Bruz plans to hide in the extremely cold underground streets for a few days. As for Klim, he's an angel," Stank said. "Even an arcanist wouldn't mess with an angel so easily. After all, he's the goddess's messenger. The only one in this world who can surpass an arcanist is the goddess."
"Damn it! In the end, I'm the only one who has to suffer with you." Gan Qiu asked, "Then when will we finally be able to take off this damn disguise?"
"Just wait a little longer." Jer spread his hands and said, "Once we get to Stank's house, we can solve it."
Yes, their destination this time is Stank’s hometown.
As mentioned before, Stank's father was a prestigious minor lord. Hiding there was a good option for them when they didn't know where to go. Furthermore, Stank's father was human, so hiding in the territory of a human lord was a bit of a distraction.
However, Stank was not very willing to make this decision. He did not want to go back to his hometown, but there was no other way now. He could only go back and hide for a while to delay the time.
But he repeatedly emphasized to everyone that his father was a rather troublesome guy, so everyone should be mentally prepared.
"It doesn't matter." Gan Qiu said, "You are already in enough trouble."
"You fucking bastard..." Stank was about to lose his temper when the coffin lid behind them suddenly moved with a 'dong dong dong' sound, as if the things inside could no longer be suppressed, which scared everyone.
Fortunately, everyone knew what this thing was. Seeing that there was no one around, they immediately lifted the coffin lid and turned it over.
The moment it was lifted, a chill came out and people shivered from the cold.
"Fuck, this is too cold."
Gan Qiu complained subconsciously, but before he could finish his words, a big butt popped out from the back of the coffin and blew white gas towards Gan Qiu's face, knocking him unconscious.
"Fuck, what a weird scene!" Stank was shocked. "Ganqiu was killed by a fart!"
"What's coming out of your ass is fart!" Before Gan Qiu could respond, the ass spoke first, "I'm feeling cold, okay! You bastards, you locked me up with this guy! It's fucking painful, okay! As for how painful it is... just put two pieces of ice in my ass and you'll know!"
The butt belongs to Lisa, of course.
She begged Aesop to take her away no matter what, and Aesop, a man who was always willing to help, removed the wooden plank that Lysa was lying on and used it as a coffin. As for why the coffin was there, it was naturally to take away the spirit that had not yet awakened.
Therefore, as the coffin board, Lisa naturally had to stay with the spirit in the coffin, and the coldness of the spirit really made it difficult for Lisa to withstand.
It really is as cold as ice.
"Oh, do you think we didn't try it when we were at the volcano?" Stank said with some disdain. They had already experienced stuffing "ice cubes" in their butts a long time ago!
Thanks to Aesop, they have gained so many inexplicably rich experiences.
"How the hell can it be the same in the volcano and here?!"
"It doesn't make much of a difference," Stank said. "It's so hot outside, I want to go inside for a while."
"Stay a little longer? If you dare put any part of your body in here, I'll crush you with my legs! '" Lisa threatened Stank directly, "I'll trap you in here for a day too!"
Stank curled his lips. He was just talking nonsense. He really couldn't stand the coldness coming from Ling.
At this time, Aesop looked at the gradually darkening sky and said, "Let's rest here first."
The few of them were indeed tired, so they followed Aesop's suggestion and stopped where they were. Then they started to make a fire and cook. After cooking, they went to sleep. There was no one to keep watch, but Jer set up a simple magic circle as a means of protection.
