"Little brother, please feel at ease." Ignoring the ugly appearance of her comrades who were struggling on the ground, Sa Qili came around behind me, bent down and hugged my neck affectionately, put her face close to hers, and breathed softly into my ear.
"Because we are also bored and want to find something to do."
"Boring? You still have your own team, don't you worry about it?" I frowned, not quite believing what Sa Qili said. She must have said this specifically to reassure me to ask them.
"It's just because the team is here." Sa Qili sighed, with a rather resentful look on her face.
"Those guys don't recognize me as the boss now."
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" I became jealous. How could a dignified camp witch still be treated like this?
"Because I am the only one who has been promoted, and they have not, they are no longer willing to train with me. They say they are afraid of becoming dependent on me. Now they are working hard to train, and they don't take me as the captain seriously. "
"I see, that's understandable." I nodded in agreement. Indeed, I felt the same way. Sa Qili and the others had been promoted to the realm of world power. Their strength could be said to have leapt thousands of miles, and there was already a fundamental gap between them and the domain realm.
Naturally, teammates who are still in the domain realm can no longer team up with Sa Qili for training. First, they are afraid of dragging down Sa Qili, and second, they are afraid of becoming dependent on Sa Qili.
Another point is the issue of self-esteem. Adventurers are all arrogant, especially the adventurers in the third world. They are all the elites among the elites. How can they be shameless and let the captain [take training]? In fact, this A clue can be seen from the team of Little Fox. At the beginning, for example, when I met Lucia's team for the first time, the little fox's strength was not much higher than that of my teammates, but after connecting with my soul. The gap became more and more obvious, and after the Sky Fox test, they were no longer on the same level. Even a shameless guy like Malagby was unwilling to train with the little fox anymore, let alone others.
"What do you understand? Do you want to stand with those bastards to bully me and ignore me?" I sighed in understanding, but it made Sa Qili unhappy. If she was unhappy, I would be miserable. Originally The arms around my neck tightened. It turned into a le, and I could only roll my eyes and slap the table repeatedly to show that I gave in to the power.
"Your Highness, the dumplings you asked for are ready." At this time, Kaluge brought up a bowl of steaming dumplings. I quickly took the opportunity to escape from Sa Qili's clutches. I was also hungry, so I ate up a whole bowl of dumplings and then had another bowl.
"I want it too." Sa Qili smelled the fragrance and whetted her appetite.
"Didn't you just eat?" I stared at her warily, guarding the door of the kitchen.
"Hey, hey, women have two stomachs."
"A stomach grows on the head." Tulakov was inspired by what Shashik just said. Hearing what Sa Qili said, an idea flashed, and she blurted out the words without thinking with her big and uninhibited mouth.
"One finger of aging!"
"Ouch!!!!!!!"
I'm really beginning to suspect that this big guy has a stomach in his head and nothing else.
In the end, everyone except Tulakov ate the dumplings made by Karoujie. As for why Tulakov was not included. It wasn't that Sa Qili was still angry and refused to give him food, but that Tulakov was so old that he couldn't bite the dumplings after being hit by the aging finger. He almost choked to death when he drank the soup. It was really a man seeking death. You are bound to die, no matter if you are a barbarian or a Saiyan.
After eating and drinking, I bowed deeply to the three of them and said, "I didn't want to trouble everyone, Aunt Qili, don't fool me. Even if your team doesn't want you, you definitely have a lot of things you want to do." The thing is, it’s just that this mission is related to Artoria’s safety. With one more helper, we can find King Arthur faster. After thinking about it, I still have to trouble everyone.”
"My little brother is good at everything, but he is a little too outsider. If we are treated as outsiders, we will be passive and sabotage our work." Seeing this, Sa Qili couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
"Just take care of yourself." Tulakov still had the face of a foodie.
"Friendship, hard work, victory." Shahik transformed into a jump boy.
"Didn't I thank you first before I had the nerve to use you as a coolie?" I grinned, an Akela-like smile filling my face.
When the three of them heard this, they were furious. They pushed me, a junior who didn't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young, to the ground and gave me a severe lesson.
"Okay, that's all for the manpower." His eyes passed over everyone one by one.
Sa Qili, Shashik, Tulakov, Karoujie, Tamoya, Amrudina, and Princess Wannian, there are eight in total. Do you think I would say this? Humph, I am no longer the one who forgets to count myself, so, including me, there should be a total of nine people. At this moment, the flag of the Emperor of Mathematics is flying in the wind, high Feiyang, with a big nine characters printed on it.
The nine people are already very sufficient in terms of manpower. Carlos and Seattle are still in a stable state, so I won't disturb them, just these nine people.
"Great, does anyone have anything else to do?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Then, if you don't have any objections, let's set out early tomorrow morning."
Everyone nodded.
"The last thing is to distribute the necessary bait to find people this time to everyone."
"Bait?" Except for Carol, everyone looked curiously. What kind of thing could be worthy of becoming the bait of King Arthur, who is known as the strongest man in the history of the Dark Continent?
When I poured out the stuffed lions from the inventory, everyone's eyes were glazed over.
"Is this bait?"
"Yeah, it's bait." I nodded with certainty.
"Lord King Arthur likes this kind of thing?"
"Yes, I like it very much." I nodded vigorously again to prove that what I said was true.
The eyes of Sa Qili and the others suddenly focused on the only one who behaved normally, Kaluge. The serious girl knight was also slightly shy at this time, and nodded lightly. Only then did everyone believe it.
"Incredible." Sa Qili marveled.
"Sure enough, strong men have strange hobbies." Tulakov was still thinking about the dumplings he had just eaten.
"You can tell from his likes and dislikes that King Arthur must be a gentle, kind and loving person." Shahik concluded intoxicatedly, as if he recognized a beauty by smelling her fragrance.
Are you really sure? Although I am also very cute with this figure king. But she used to have the nickname "King of Killers". Can it really be put together with words like gentleness, kindness and fraternity?
"You don't believe me in my feelings." Seeing Carolie nodding, they believed it, and I got angry.
"Sorry, sorry. It's just too unbelievable."
"Besides, this is not the first time that you, the newbie, have tricked us. We must be on guard."
"My emotional credibility has been reduced to such a terrible level. I'm talking about credibility and honor."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, let's leave now and gather tomorrow." After dividing the lion dolls equally, I waved my hand, and the domineering power of the leader was fully displayed, although I really wanted to say so. but
"Wait, little brother, have you forgotten something?" Sa Qili, who has considerable command experience, reminded me.
"Forgot what?" I looked at her confused.
"Group, divide into teams."
"Do we need to divide into groups? Can't everyone just go and look for each other separately?"
"Brother," Sa Qili sighed, and even the careless Tulakov looked at me like you're an idiot. I can't bear it especially.
"This is not the first or second world. There are many crises and accidents. Especially in the forest area of Kurast, there are dangers hidden everywhere. Even the cautious world power experts dare not guarantee to be alone. One can move there in perfect safety. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Like a primary school student who made a mistake, I bowed my head and admitted my mistake.
"Well, it's good to understand, but there's no need to be so pessimistic. Our combination is probably one of the most powerful in the third world. There are five powerful people in the world power alone." Sa Qili usurped my power in the blink of an eye. Taking command, her eyes glanced at everyone, and she showed a confident look that was clear and confident.
"So. There is no need to be too cautious. A pair of two is enough, just right."
"But aren't there nine people?" Having been deprived of power, I blew the counterattack horn unwillingly.
""
What's going on with all these looks of pity? What did I say wrong?
"Strictly speaking, there are indeed nine people, isn't there also Her Majesty Alice?" After a moment of dead silence, Sa Qili said with a smile. Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they looked at me with apology, but for some reason I felt My young mind was hit hard for the second time.
From beginning to end, I didn't understand what happened. Why should the little ghost be included? What's wrong with everyone? Have you given up treatment?
"Then let's allocate the groups first." Sa Qili's eyes swept over everyone again, but this time she looked more seriously, with a look of wise thinking in her confident eyes.
"Not counting Your Highness Alice, there are eight of us in total, five world realms and three domain realms. Logically speaking, I, Shashik, and Tulakov are veterans of the third world and have experience. It is most appropriate for the three of us to lead the three fields. However, among the eight people, there is one person who can overwhelm our rich experience advantage."
Who, who is it? I looked around stupidly, only to find that everyone was looking at me.
"Are you talking about me?" Pointing at myself blankly, I asked a stupid question again. Is it because I was too full after eating dumplings that my IQ dropped drastically?
"Who else besides you?" Sa Qili rolled her eyes at me coquettishly, and then showed off her majestic and valiant aura as a commander again.
"With my little brother's strength, as long as he doesn't seek death and provoke the famous Demon Lord, his own safety will definitely not be a problem. Logically speaking, there will be no problem even if he acts alone."
"No!" Before Sa Qili could finish her words, two non-negotiable rejections rang out. Needless to say, the owners of the voices were definitely Karen Jie and Tamoya.
"So." Sa Qili shrugged helplessly at me, as if to say, "Look, little brother, it's not that I don't give you the chance to commit suicide by rushing around alone, but that others don't allow it."
The majestic aura of being serious when facing the personal maid knight and Lord Martial Emperor. I opened my mouth, wanting to make a weak protest, but in the end I shrank my neck and gave up.
"My younger brother has absolute strength. So, in order to achieve the best cooperation, we have to hand over the weakest link to him. Among us, Amrudina should be the weakest in terms of strength, right?"
When Sa Qili entered the commander mode, her expression became absolutely wise and calm, and she could say such things without hesitation, because it was related to everyone's safety. It's not okay if you don't distribute it well. The weakest is the weakest. Trying to be strong will only lead to death.
Amrudina nodded solemnly, without any embarrassment or dissatisfaction. Obviously he is also aware of his own strength gap.
"But!" Sa Qili made a sudden change.
"As far as I know, Nana has relatively little combat experience and doesn't have much experience fighting in the third world."
"Stop complimenting me. To be precise, it's probably not at all." Princess Wannian's poisonous tongue was merciless to herself, and she openly admitted the fact that she was a novice in combat.
"Amrudina has been training in Kurast for a while. She has a good understanding of the environment there and has rich combat experience. Therefore, in terms of overall strength, Amrudina is still stronger than Nana."
At this point, Sa Qili's eyes connected me with Princess Wannian, and the meaning was already obvious.
"I understand what you mean. Although I am reluctant to team up with a stupid monkey, based on the objective facts, this allocation is reasonable and reasonable. I will have no choice but to accept the cruel facts reluctantly. "Princess Wannian pondered for a moment. He said with a sad look on his face.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by being helpless and having to do something difficult? I am the one who should be helpless and embarrassed, okay! I don't want to be in a group with this doll. The monster can't kill me, and I will be angry and beaten to death by her. I don't even want to!" I quickly protested, let me be paired with Princess Wannian, who is not my partner? What an international joke.
"Little brother" Sa Qili looked at me helplessly: "I can give you three choices."
"Really?" I was overjoyed.
"Well, the first one is, of course, teaming up with Nana, the second one is with Tulakov, and the third one is with Shashik."
"Of course it is." I was about to make a choice when my eyes subconsciously fell on the two people opposite me.
Tulakov? No, no, he's snoring so loudly that I'll lose sleep if I'm in a team with him.
Shashik? No, the whole muscle brother is King Billy. He is not a barbarian, but he is better than a barbarian. He has a very cool personality. He has a seriously outdated aristocratic look. It makes people feel uncomfortable. If I stay with him for a long time, I'm afraid. I will also become Twinkle the Bear or Twinkle the Wolf with a rose in his mouth.
In comparison
I lowered my head in frustration, pointed at Princess Wannian, and made a difficult decision: "I choose her."
"Hmph!" Princess Wannian looked at me condescendingly, expressing serious contempt for my pitiful determination - didn't she say that she would not be with me even if she died? Are you ready to die? Are you a tough guy? Would you rather die than obey and show your death to me?
"Very good, then the first group has been decided." Sa Qili clasped her hands together and smiled, indicating that the most difficult group had surrendered under the witch's skirt.
"The next group is Amrudina and Kaluge. You two have known each other for a long time. Your personalities match well. Kaluge has the second strongest strength among us. Amrudina is familiar with the environment. It's just right. Match.”
No one had any opinions on this best pairing. Amrudina and Kaluge looked at each other and smiled, nodding to each other, with an atmosphere full of "adultery".
"The third group is me and Tamoya, everyone has no objections, right?" Sa Qili asked.
"No, no." Tulakov and Shashik clapped, obeying Sa Qili's reasonable allocation, but suddenly, they were stunned and looked at each other.
"Wait a minute, Sa Qili, you mean, let's work in pairs?" Shashik and Tulakov asked in disbelief, pointing at each other.
"Who else is there besides you?" Sa Qili asked with a snicker.
"I don't accept it!" they both yelled in unison.
"Look, what a powerful tacit understanding this is. It would be a waste not to put you in a group."
"Are you kidding? There's no tacit understanding between me and this guy!" The two said in unison.
Even I looked sympathetic. It turned out to be a pair of lilies and a pair of gays. The ancients honestly didn’t deceive me. What? My team? My team is a natural and mortal enemy, so it doesn’t count.
His eyes fell on Princess Wannian. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but she was also looking at me, so the two people's eyes collided in mid-air, creating a fierce fire, setting up a arena. We can both play real boxing king PK at any time.
"Okay, Sa Qili, I don't want to be with a rude guy who snores while sleeping." Shashik looked pleading.
"Who's snoring? It's you, you damn coquettish guy. You've been showing off with a rotten rose in your mouth all day long, pretending to be a noble." Tulakov also delivered a fatal blow.
"What did you say?" The two men stared at each other like a bullfight, and they were about to start a fight again.
"Okay, you two." Sa Qili clapped her hands and attracted everyone's attention. She immediately held up a finger.
"First of all, I don't want to listen to that bastard Tulakov's snoring."
"Second." She stretched out her second finger and looked at Shashik: "I can't stand Shashik's slutty character either."
"Sa Qili." The two grown men burst into tears, like lost lambs.
"We are comrades-in-arms. We have fought together. We have lived and died together, right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Why are you hurting me like this?"
"Comrades are a fact, and living and dying together is also a fact, but the two items of personality and snoring are even more facts." Sa Qili mercilessly shot a thousand arrows at the two injured men, and then revealed With cunning eyes, he hugged Tamoya from behind.
"In comparison, isn't it a thousand times better to be with a lovely girl like Tamoya who is both beautiful and fragrant? I would be stupid to choose you."
"So you are using your power for personal gain!" Shashik and Tulakov finally understood the truth at this time. There has never been fairness in this world.
After the grouping is completed. Seeing that the horizon was dyed crimson, unknowingly, the time track turned to the evening again, so Sa Qili and the others once again made a difficult decision.
Had dinner here before leaving.
You really are enough assholes!
Think about it. I also made a difficult decision to continue going to Raphael’s place to hold a celebration party for tomorrow’s action.
So, after arriving at Raphael's tent, the words "You are really enough of a bastard" were given to me by the owner of the tent.
Her Royal Highness Princess Baizu likes to be lively, there is no doubt about this, but she likes to have a lively time with everyone after completing all the affairs, rather than in the middle of the road, neither getting up nor down, still thinking about the unfinished official business in her mind. Not being able to have fun, this kind of personality is called obsessive-compulsive disorder in the original world.
And I, as well as Sa Qili, really love Raphael’s obsessive-compulsive nature.
Early the next morning, we gathered at the teleportation array early. Sa Qili and the other two were celebrities in the camp and had just been promoted to world power experts, so they were very eye-catching. And I, who had been carrying the title of newcomer "little brother" for ten thousand years, was very eye-catching. , the strength is also known by all, and the beautiful and moving ladies have made everyone speculate about what such a big battle is going to do. Some people even maliciously speculated whether Sa Qili and Raphael had a falling out. To establish a new portal.
No matter what the onlookers guessed, after everyone arrived, we stepped onto the teleportation array together and disappeared into the Rogge camp in the dazzling white light. The next moment, we arrived at the green Kurast.
It is early summer, and the climate in Kurast is already very humid and hot. The humid monsoons coming from the Twin Seas carry the smell of the large swamps passing by, and then filtered through the layers of the forest. Freshness and turbidity are mixed, and the ocean and The combination of forests creates the unique air environment of Kurast City. It is definitely not refreshing, but once you get used to it, it doesn't have a sour taste.
In my mind, early summer is one of the busiest seasons in Kurast. The fruits in the tropical forest mature early, and the branches are already full of fruit long before autumn. The entire Kurast market will be open throughout the summer. It is enriched by a strong fruity aroma, mixed with the fishy smell of various animal meats, and the originally sour air. It is really exciting, just like drinking a large glass of Raphael's handmade wine on a hot summer day. of ice cold refreshing water.
Have you ever remembered the white devil meat that comes with a wand when you buy it?
But the Kurast I see now is completely different from what I remembered. It should be the busiest, with a large number of bars and the bustling central platform area, but now I can only use the lack of vocabulary to describe it. I found one word to describe it - depression.
Although Kalast does not occupy a major transportation thoroughfare like the Western Kingdom, it does have a huge treasure trove of resources that the Western Kingdom does not have. It can be said that half of the credit for the prosperity of the Western Kingdom, which is called the City of Gem, comes from behind. There is Kurast, a logistics base with endless resources.
Therefore, in my impression, although Kurast is not as prosperous as Lu Gaoyin, it is far more popular. To use a bad metaphor, it is like the difference between a rich area and a poor area. No way, Kurast, as a raw material production place, feels somewhat like a labor-intensive industrial base, while the Western Kingdom is asset-intensive.
But what about Kurast in front of him? I wrinkled my nose and sniffed hard, and finally found a hint of fruity scent. It wasn't right, it shouldn't be so light.
"Well, it's different from what I imagined." Seeing my surprised expression, Sa Qili said with a smile.
"Well, it should be said that it is completely different. The Kurast in my impression should be a very prosperous place." I closed my eyes and compared it carefully with the Kurast in my mind, and sighed in disbelief.
It feels like entering a parallel world, exactly the same as the original world, but with nine-tenths less population.
"However, this is the Kurast that I am familiar with. The prosperous Kurast that my younger brother mentioned, on the contrary, the impression in my mind has long been weak and blurred." Sa Qili looked at the scenery in front of her, He murmured softly.
I was slightly shocked. Yes, Sa Qili and the others have been in the third world for decades. For her and Shahik Tulakov, Kurast in the first and second worlds is particularly strange. .
"Don't worry, the Mages Guild is researching a new scroll. Maybe it's not right, but it's for sure. It won't be long before you can go back to the first and second worlds." I lowered my voice and patted my chest as I assured.
"My little brother has a sweet mouth. If I had been born a few decades earlier, I might have been obsessed with you." Sa Qili teased me with a smile.
"How could it be possible? Aunt Qili, you still look so young. If you let uninformed people tell you, you might even think of me as your brother."
"Oh, my little brother is hinting to me that it doesn't have to be so many decades earlier. It's okay to be infatuated with me if I choose."
"I don't mean that." I coughed hard and glared at Su Qili. This witch is really hard to get used to when she plays tricks on people. I, who was trained by the little ghost all the way, can't do it. I'm wrong. I'm wrong. , I almost said something I shouldn’t have said, and admitted something I couldn’t admit. It was wrong. It was an illusion, an illusion!
It should be said that I, a druid who had been trained all the way by the little ghost and still had a good outlook on life, was now in a state of embarrassment and red-faced after being teased by Sa Qili.
However, the feeling of depression and desolation that arose in my heart because of the Kurast in front of me also disappeared. Could it be that Sa Qili saw my worry about the country and the people, so she said this specifically, so that Am I happy?
But I'm not happy at all being teased, you bastard.
. . .
