Opening the door of the tent, Akara still sat inside with the same posture, drinking tea peacefully. By the way, I shouldn't always see the same scene every time I come here. It's not animation production that wants to save money.
After saying hello, Akara and I started chatting nonchalantly, waiting for the mysterious question mark man together. In my mind, he should be fat and have a mustache. He has the image of a hypocritical and kind-hearted businessman when he smiles. The most important thing is that he must be short. Otherwise, how can he have a common topic with a dwarf? Don’t you think so?
After a while, there was no one around. I couldn't help but yawn. I got up early and didn't get enough sleep. What happened to the question mark man? Don’t you know the importance of punctuality? You know, we are very busy people. Even the four elders in the camp have always waited for me and never for anyone else.
"Wu, please bear with me a little longer. She just came back yesterday. I'm afraid she's tired. I originally wanted to say it wouldn't be too late in two days, but this girl is too impatient and won't say anything."
Akara said this with a mysterious smile on her face. Unfortunately, I was too busy yawning and picking my ears to hear the key words in her words.
After a while, I was already bored and started to discuss with Akara whether I could sell the things I didn't need to her. Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded from a distance, and the tight connection clicked. Feeling, showing its owner's anxious mood at the moment,
"I'm sorry, I overslept, ugh~~"
The voice suddenly sounded, beating my eardrums. Before my brain had time to analyze whether the voice was male or female, sweet or rough, the owner of the voice blew a strong wind into the tent, so fast! Really fast! ! Is this the so-called ultrasonic speed?
However, although she ran fast, she fell just as fast. When she opened the tent door, her figure suddenly appeared in the dazzling light. Before my eyes could adapt to the light and see her face clearly, this The black shadow was gracefully stirred by the threshold, and with the help of strong inertia, it used its head as a weapon to rush straight towards me like a cannonball. That "Ah woo~" was her tragic starting gunshot.
At this time, I was faced with two options.
:baseball. Men are passionate. Let's face the sunset by the sea. Swing the bat. Home run~~
B: Hard connection. Just like 【】Furi, he was held up in the sky by the god of fire clouds. Comprehension is like [] divine palm. From then on, he was invincible in the world.
: I flash.
Hot-blooded is not my character. Invincibility is not my dream. I flash.
"boom--"
A sudden escape at the critical moment. Let the black shadow rush straight towards the wooden frame behind him with a very spectacular momentum. Only a crackling sound was heard. She has penetrated several shelves with overwhelming force. Then it hit the ground with a thud. If the small tent is not expanded through space. I'm afraid of this collision. Akara will have to find another home.
After a while, there was no movement from the prostrate shadow, which made me feel like going forward and stabbing a bucket with a branch to see if it was alive or dead. Just when I was about to do that, the body on the ground suddenly moved.
"Woo~~"
I could hear it clearly this time. The whining sound had the softness and crispness unique to a girl, and it seemed a little familiar. I couldn't help but widen my eyes and watch the figure behind the shelf slowly get up.
This is not the first time I have seen such a dramatic fall. The three-no princess at home always does this. Her behavior patterns can be connected with equal signs: shy = naturally stupid = confused = falling, in front of me The scene is so similar, but the only difference is the action after getting up. After Princess Sanwu got up, she immediately rubbed her red nose, but this girl who looked familiar, after standing up, she hugged her breasts and fell down There is no need for me to explain the difference in the rear stress point.
"I'm sorry, I'm late. I accidentally overslept. I'm really sorry. I will compensate for the damage."
After the girl stood up, regardless of the pain after falling, she turned back sharply, bowed and apologized, with a fearful and uneasy look, like a trembling hamster.
"It's okay, it's you. You fell down and weren't hurt?" Akara smiled and held his hand towards the girl. Seeing how polite she was, my original discomfort also disappeared.
That's it, she still held her breasts, bowed and apologized several times, and then slowly raised her head, her pretty face facing the direction of my gaze.
"Huh?"
"Eh-eh——?"
The first one was from the girl, with a soft cry of surprise and joy, while the second loud scream was undoubtedly from me, but the surprise was mixed with the emotion of regret.
This girl turned out to be Linya, whom I hadn’t seen for more than a year!
If I had known it was her, I should have caught it just now. Why are you kidding? This is the reason why I regret it, but fortunately I didn’t choose option A, otherwise I wouldn’t have to be a human being.
"Brother Wu——"
In my dumbfounded eyes, Linya's pretty face was slightly red and she smiled gently at me. Her sparkling sky-blue eyes bloomed with pure and flawless joy. Although they were both blue, Linya's eyes were not as good as Sha's. Sister Erna is so deep and distant, with a chill that can never be approached. Her eyes are like the blue sky you can often see when you raise your head, kind and quiet, and her soft eyes are like warm sunshine. , people accept her from the bottom of their hearts, unless they are those underground creatures who cannot see the light of day.
"Why is it you, Linya? Are you okay?"
Looking at the girl in front of me, the first girl I met after coming to the dark world, I felt a little mixed in my heart. But since we are acquaintances, of course I can't look at her coldly like just now. When I asked her with concern, my body couldn't help but move forward. Step by step, gently brush the dust off her shoulders.
"Brother Wu, I'm fine."
She raised her head slightly and looked directly at me with her pure, watery eyes. The joy shining in her eyes and the occasional hint of affection made me smile, not knowing what to say. , the sudden encounter has completely confused my brain. I feel both the joy of reunion and the feeling of being at a loss for her feelings.
"Ahem——"
One stared closely, and the other's mind was in a mess. I don't know how long it took. Akara coughed slightly at the right time, waking us up at the same time. The eyes looking at each other invariably revealed a smile. One year The gap caused by not seeing each other disappeared in this smile.
No matter what the relationship between us is, but first of all, Linya is the first girl I met in the dark, and she is my most important friend. This will not change. I cannot let myself feel overwhelmed because of it. , which makes the current friendship fall into embarrassment.
.
"Come on, sit down first."
I asked Linya, who was still short of breath from the violent running just now, to sit down. I replaced Akara and soaked in the refreshing water next to her. I am an old regular here anyway. How many jars are there in this small tent and what is in it? I basically We all know that now even if Akara leaves her newbie shop to me, I can still do a good job.
"Thank you, Brother Wu."
Taking the cup I handed over, Linya smiled brightly, making Baihua feel sad.
After not seeing each other for more than a year, she has lost some of her childishness and become more mature. The only thing that remains unchanged is her eyes and her temperament, which still reveal a familiar purity and warmth, always giving people a girl-next-door feel. sense of closeness.
"I'm sorry, I overslept this morning, so I just asked Master Akara and Brother Wu to wait, ugh~~"
As she looked down, her pretty face flushed and she lowered her head, and her dark green slightly curly hair also hung down weakly, as if she was extremely ashamed of her behavior.
"I didn't expect that Linya would stay in bed. This is rare."
The relationship has returned to the way it was before, so naturally I don’t mind a friendly joke. As far as I know, Linya is no more lazy than Little Ghost, who stays in bed every day until the sun shines on her buttocks, as if she hasn’t woken up yet. Rolling down from the bed, he continued to let out a mournful "Woo Gu" that made people feel that he deserved it.
As a direct member of a big family, Linya has never pampered herself because of this. She is a very hard-working girl who strikes people at first glance. Although she cannot be compared with Vilas, a full-time housewife, she is a girl from an ordinary family. She is not bad at everything and is good at everything. It can be seen from the last time I stayed at her house for dinner that she has a virtuous and capable girl-next-door temperament.
"Eh--"
After hearing what I said, Linya's face turned redder and her head lowered. In fact, I was very curious as to why her hands kept holding her breasts, even though I knew her breasts were... ahem, over 1.6 meters tall. She is petite, a full head lower than Sister Sharna, but her breasts are not much smaller. Her petite figure gives people the illusion that she is plumper than her sister.
But holding her like this all the time is too exaggerated. How does she usually fight? Or did she just fall and scratch her clothes?
"Ahem, Wu, you have wronged Linya." When I was confused, Akara explained with a smile.
"Linya's team just returned from challenging Andariel yesterday. They must be very tired. It is not easy to come here now."
"Really?"
I was immediately moved. Challenging a demon king-level monster was no joke. It would take several hours. Not only was it a high-intensity battle, but the pressure on my heart was unmatched by my usual experience. I wanted to pull the trigger back then. After they returned from defeating Andariel, they slept for two or three days.
"Linya, what level are you at now?"
I thought about it and felt something was wrong. As a genius girl from a big family, Linya is very powerful. Although she cannot compare with Dia who has soul magic, she is no match for those of the Horadric clan. Not inferior, and her teammates didn't look like passer-by adventurers. I counted on my fingers and found that it had been more than four years since I came to the Dark World, and when I first met Linya, she had already I have been practicing for several months and am now at level 3.
In other words, it took Linya and the others five years from the beginning of their training to defeating Andariel. This is the time it takes for passerby-level adventurers. How could a genius like Linya be possible?
"Level 22, with less than half experience left to reach 23."
Seemingly understanding what I meant, Linya sighed helplessly and spoke in great detail.
Sure enough, with the strength of Linya's team, I estimate that they would have enough strength to challenge Andariel if they reached level 17 or 18 on average. In other words, they could have left Rogge's camp to challenge Ludwig more than a year ago. Gaoyin set off, which is why when Linya first appeared, her voice sounded familiar, but I never thought it was Linya, because I thought she had already gone to Lugaoyin.
Thinking of this, I looked at Akara with doubtful eyes.
"Haha, there is nothing we can do about it. In recent years, around the time when Wu changed his profession, the number of adventurers promoted in the Alliance has suddenly surged, setting a record since the invasion of hell. And recently, the Horadric clan They have also joined the alliance, so even though there is an additional Demon King Belial in the training mission, the demand is still in short supply, so Linya and the others have been delaying it until now."
Hey, you seem to be referring to something different when you say "that's the time before and after your job change". Can I understand what Cheng Shi said was directed at me? I looked at Akara helplessly.
"Then the camp should think of something."
No wonder I feel like there are a lot more adventurers in the center of the camp recently. It turns out to be [traffic jam].
"Why do you want to find a way? This is not a good thing. The old adventurers, old lady, I always felt that they were too impatient. They went to challenge Andariel when they were only a few percent sure. The casualties were too high, which makes people feel distressed. Now, I think it's just right." Akara said to me with a cheerful smile.
So that’s it, I immediately understood what Akara meant. The camp is a place where all adventurers start out. Almost all the basic skills and common sense of adventurers are practiced here, so there is no need to worry about them staying in the camp for too long. Experience, on the contrary, if the level of the monsters in the camp is not too low, and the difficulty cannot be met after the adventurer reaches more than 20 levels, Akara even wishes that every adventurer has to experience in the camp for ten or eight years. Anyway, Adventurers have a long life and the most important thing is time.
"Okay, let's get down to business." After the topic was broached, Akara, who was sitting in the middle, quietly stopped.
"Wait, before we get down to business, I also want to ask a question, why is Linya the one negotiating with the dwarves?" This question has been holding in my heart just now, and I don't want to say it out loud. Now I see Akara say this. , I took advantage of the situation and asked.
Of course, it’s not that I underestimate Linya. As the direct heir of a big family, her communication skills are definitely a hundred times better than those of a nerd like me. But I don’t think it has to be Linya. Rogge’s camp should be better. There may be other mature guys, and there may be better choices. After all, Linya is still young and inexperienced.
Therefore, there must be some element in choosing Linya, and this is exactly the answer I want to know.
"Well, I knew you would ask this, Wu, so let me tell you now, do you know Linya's grandmother?"
"Know a thing or two."
I nodded slightly. Linya's grandmother, Raphael Edwards Playfair, seemed to be a very important person. You can often hear adventurers talking about her in a respectful tone in the bar, but this is the only confirmed information I know. ,return
She told me this when she met the old drunkard in Japan.
Linya's grandmother, this most famous senior, was a singer and dancer in Rogge camp decades ago. She was known to be unparalleled in singing and dancing. Coupled with the title of Rogge's most beautiful woman at that time, she was simply the leader of the entire camp. A super idol, in the decades after she left, no one had the strength to claim these two positions. Until the birthday of the god three years ago, Vilas became famous with one song and successfully inherited her title of singer. Come down.
"You are right. At that time, as long as Sister Rafael said a word, at least half of the people in the entire Rogge camp were willing to shed their lives and blood for her without any regrets." After hearing what I said, Akara revealed He smiled in memory, looking a little dazed, as if he was immersed in past memories.
"Sister Raphael?"
I murmured in disbelief, and Linya across from me leaned her little head together and told me that Akara-sama and her grandmother were from the same era. They had played together since they were little, and they had a very close relationship. It was just that Raphael was Alliance job changers must fulfill their obligations as job changers and leave the camp to experience the wider world outside. As a prophet, Akala stayed in the end and eventually became the Great Elder of the Adventurer Alliance in the first world. Their friendship is destined to only face each other across the river.
"At that time, sister Raphael's light was just like the sun. People could not look directly at it. They could only feel the warmth that illuminated people's hearts from far behind, and they were willing to be conquered by her charm..."
Akara was immersed in memories and mumbling to herself as if she was dreaming. This was the first time I saw her showing such true feelings.
However, I can’t agree with what Akara said. It is true that Linya’s grandmother may be very outstanding, and even the combination of Vilas, Sarah, Linya and Sharna’s sister shines unparalleled, but I don’t I don’t think Akara was much inferior to Rafael at that time. It’s just that Rafael stood in the front desk and was noticed by thousands of people like the sun, while Akara stood behind him like stars, silently extending his wise gaze. In every corner of the continent, the two of them are actually monster-level figures.
"What does this matter have to do with Master Raphael?"
After a while, Akara came out of her memories and showed her unique gentle smile, as if she had everything under control. I then asked, Linya might know, but Rafael is her grandmother after all. , it is not appropriate for her to explain.
"You don't know something about this. Sister Raphael, besides being a singer and a dancer as you know, she also has another title."
"Don't whet my appetite, Mr. Akara, please tell me what the title is?" Damn it, my curiosity was completely aroused.
"Princess of hundreds of tribes." Akara spat out four words softly.
"Huh? What do you mean?" My mind didn't turn around for a moment.
"That's literally what it means."
"This princess of hundreds of races, does it mean that Master Raphael is respected by other races?"
I thought about it. Literally speaking, there are two answers. One is that Raphael has royal blood from hundreds of races. This is obviously nonsense, so it can only be the second answer.
"Yes, while Sister Raphael has been practicing all the way, she has conquered all races with her charm. You may not know that before she appeared, the relationship between our alliance and the elves was still very bad, and there were even frequent casualties in fights. , it was Sister Raphael who used her singing and dancing to make the elves, who were always known as an artistic race, feel inferior to them. From then on, the relationship between us eased down. It can be said that the alliance and the alliance a few years later The fundamental credit for the alliance between the elves lies with Sister Rafael. Our assistance this time and the combination of you and the Elf Queen are just a slight push on it.
"So that's it."
I nodded in understanding. Indeed, if you are an outstanding person like Raphael, it is not difficult to do this. There are some things in this world that do not need the same blood, the same language, and the same appearance. Singing and dancing can convey one's feelings to the other party, so I have always insisted on conquering the universe with singing...
"Eh? Brother Wu is going to marry the Elf Queen?"
After hearing Akara's words, Linya on the opposite side jumped up from her seat in surprise. She pressed her hands on the table without caring about protecting her breasts anymore. She leaned forward and looked at me closely, her face Full of surprise and unconcealable frustration.
The moment she let go of her hands, her already towering breasts suddenly swelled several points. After breaking away from the restraints, they swung up with amazing elasticity. As she suddenly approached, it was like two swings. The huge and uncertain mountains were pressing towards me.
"Um--"
What a terrible R-shake. This is the legendary breast device. No wonder she keeps holding her breasts. At this moment, my brain was buzzing and I was completely at a loss. I felt a sudden coldness in my nose. I quickly put it on He moved his eyes away from the huge pressure and covered his nose. Sadly, he had a nosebleed as if he had never seen anything in the world.
Originally I shouldn't have lost my composure. Neither Qiaxi nor Sister Sharna are actually inferior to Linya in size. But the problem is the body proportions. Needless to say, Qiaxi is two meters tall. Sister Sharna She is also 1.8 meters tall, while Linya is only over 1.6 meters tall. In comparison, Linya looks much "protruding".
"Woo~~"
As if aware of the situation, Linya quickly retracted her body, sat back on the chair and curled up, burying her amazing breasts in her arms. The blush on her face spread to her ears at a speed that could be detected by the naked eye. and neck.
It's so scary, it's so scary. I don't know how she usually fights. However, I heard that some Amazon women have terrible personalities. They feel like cutting off their R&g; makes me feel chilled just thinking about it. Fortunately, Sister Sharna didn't have such thoughts.
After stopping the nosebleed, I pretended to be nonchalant and wiped it with my sleeve to destroy the evidence. The blind Akara didn't seem to know what happened between the two of us, and his face was a little curious.
"Wu...Brother Wu, you really want to marry the Elf Queen again.
"
Even under such huge shame, Linya still asked with a voice that was almost crying, and asked in a thin moan. That persistence moved me deeply. With such a delicate and lovely beauty, how can any man not be attracted to her? Where's your heartbeat? But by the way, what does "again" mean...
"Don't worry, it's just for the sake of alliance, a formal marriage."
Looking at the shy and persistent Linya, a trace of tenderness welled up in my heart. I couldn't help but reached over and gently stroked her long dark green hair a few times to comfort her.
"That's it, I...I..."
Linya breathed an unnoticeable sigh of relief and seemed to be looking for something.
He was trying to cover up the gaffe he had just made, but the word "I" stuck in his mouth, and he couldn't explain why. His forehead turned red with embarrassment, and his whole round and lovely face looked like a big red apple.
The topic returned to the mission.
"In other words, using Master Raphael's reputation among the dwarves, let Linya negotiate?"
"Yes, the dwarves have always valued friendship. As the granddaughter of Sister Rafael, if Linya goes there, she will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Akara smiled and nodded.
"Well, I have no other questions. Oh, by the way, how is the dwarf king's temper?"
It suddenly occurred to me that even if I, the listing manager, have nothing to do, I still have to meet with the other party to find out what they are interested in. It is better to find out the information first.
"If the current dwarf king has no intention of abdicating, then it is Muradin the Hammer. As for her temper..." Akara's tone hesitated for a while. I rarely see the confident Akara use such an uncertain expression. After a pause, she seemed to have found a way to describe it, and continued what she just said.
"His temper should be similar to Farah's."
"..."
Okay, I already understand what you want to express very well. I never thought that there are living beings in this world who can be similar to Farah's weird and stingy personality. It's simply better than telling me that the big spindle is actually from 78 Nebula is even more incredible.
No wonder Akara's tone is hesitant, no wonder Farah and the Dwarf King have a good relationship. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. I think the Dark Continent can support two people like Farah at the same time. It is really amazing and incomprehensible. To express my heartfelt admiration, everyone just needs to think about it. If two Godzillas (non-heterosexual) appeared on the earth at the same time, wouldn't the landslide and the earth collapse and the human race become extinct?
After hearing the news, my mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of ways to deal with the Dwarf King. Farah was easy to deal with. That's because as the guild leader, he was very poor. It was said that there had never been ten people in his pocket. The private money of more than several digits of gold coins is different from the Dwarf King. He is the head of a clan. In addition, the dwarves are rich in iron ore and gemstones, and they are good at making equipment. It is not easy to come up with something that makes him excited.
"Wu, did you hear that? Wu!!?"
While I was thinking hard on the side, Akara's aggravated questioning tone woke me up.
"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about how to bribe the dwarf king."
"Haha, you kid is so real."
Akara was immediately happy when she heard what I said, but she didn't say anything. She obviously agreed with my strategy. It seems that this dwarf king is just like Farah. If there is any blood, I am afraid that even with Raphael's name, this alliance will be a marathon.
"However, before you consider this, you should first think about how to find the royal city of the dwarves." Akara smiled and gave me a bombshell.
"What, we still need to find the dwarf royal city. Doesn't the alliance even know where the dwarf royal city is?" I jumped up from my chair. This was too ridiculous.
"Yes, the relationship between the dwarves and us is actually not much better than that of the elves. We know a little about the dwarf villages, but about their royal city, every dwarf is tight-lipped and unwilling to disclose it to other races easily."
"What about Master Raphael? She has such a good relationship with the dwarves, so she must know about it, right?"
"Sister Raphael does know, but she swore at the time that she would never reveal the location of the royal city to anyone else, so we have no way of getting the real news from her, so we have to trouble you to get through this first. .”
"how so……"
I sat down helplessly. It was already powerless to go and be the representative of this alliance, but now I had to find the other party's home base first. It was simply powerless.
"Don't be discouraged. There are many dwarves in the Demon Fortress. Maybe after you go there and tell them Linya's identity, they will take the initiative to tell the dwarves where the royal city is." Seeing my weak look, Akara He couldn't help but comfort him.
"I hope so."
No matter what I say, I don't have an optimistic attitude in my heart. I don't understand the temper of dwarves and it's hard to talk about it. However, my protagonist-like tragic life of making trouble out of nothing, turning small things into big things, and big things into nothing, has given me something to do. I am ninety-nine percent confident that Akara’s words of nothing will definitely turn out to be nothing.
Afterwards, the main conversation was between Akara and Linya. What should be paid attention to during the negotiation, what conditions were proposed, and some old fox-like ideas were put forward. I hope Linya will not be led astray by Akara. I yawned out of boredom, narrowed my eyes, and the sound of their conversation in my ears gradually became blurred until it disappeared completely.
"Brother Wu...Brother Wu..."
In the deep dream, a familiar voice seemed to come from the horizon. My consciousness wandered between dreams and reality. I vaguely held the object that made the sound in my arms and murmured.
"Uuu~~, little Vilas, please let me sleep a little longer."
It wasn't until I completely escaped from the dream that I woke up. I was not at home, but in Akara's tent. How could Vilas appear? Moreover, the warm and fragrant jade body in my arms was also so comfortable, but it didn't feel right. , to be precise, it should be that the amount of R is wrong. The feeling of hugging little Vilas is not as strong as the [sense of oppression] now.
Looking into my arms, I suddenly let go of my hand and laughed. As expected, it was Linya.
With an infinite blush on her face and a hint of imperceptible sadness, Linya pretended to be nonchalant and smiled sweetly at me.
"Where's Master Akara?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, I quickly started a topic.
"Master Akara has something to do and has already left."
"How long has she been gone?"
I rubbed my eyes and looked outside the tent. The orange sunset was shining in from inside, giving the tent a warm and soft glow, just like the temperament exuded by Linya.
"We just left not long ago." Linya blinked lightly with her smiling sky-blue eyes, and said softly and lightly.
"Thank you, Linya..."
Seeing the sunset outside, I would be a fool if I really took it as what she meant by "soon". You must know that when we came, it was in the morning, and their conversation could not last all afternoon.
"In that case, let's go. After stretching a lot, Linya and I walked out of the tent side by side, bathed in the golden sunset, and strolled on the deserted road. Well, it was really a chat. What a good environment...
