Phil entered Crow's alchemy workshop and suddenly remembered something.
When Simon came out from here, he must have asked Master Crow to make alchemical potions.
I wonder what kind of potion he made?
Simon's calm expression, neither humble nor arrogant, flashed through her mind.
Damn it, Phil felt a little unhappy when he thought about his expression of wanting to be beaten.
She couldn't tell what was wrong with her.
Maybe she just didn't want to be so looked down upon by a trainee assistant.
Especially since he quit his sister's team and is at a low point in his career, shouldn't he be more likely to fawn over her?
You must know that most of the people Phil met since childhood were flatterers, and no one wanted to please her.
After all, there are still too few strong-willed people like Simon.
The mere appearance of one of them attracted her attention, and she couldn't help but look at him twice to see why he was so hard.
There is also her sister Meguo, who is also quite rebellious. Although she can be an innocent and ignorant noble lady under her wings, she insists on going against her.
The turning point of all this was when Sister, Baigu, Simon and others started to change after they formed a team.
"Master Crow, Mr. Simon just came to see you, right? What kind of alchemy potion did he customize?"
"Dear Miss Phil, I'm sorry I can't answer this. This is the customer's business secret."
Master Crow wears a beak mask, with only two eyes exposed, making it difficult to see his expression.
Phil tried to use his money power to buy the news, but unfortunately Master Crow refused to let go and was very principled.
Phil was a little reluctant, but he was satisfied. After all, this also reflected that Master Crow had a good reputation. If he could keep Simon's secret, he could also keep her secret.
…
On the other side, the residence of White Fruit, the study room on the second floor.
Xiao Qian talked with the group leader and deputy group leader about Simon's ambition, and finally broke up.
Xiaoqian appeared on the roof of the station with a disappointed face, looking at the underground city in the distance.
Above the underground city, there is a snow-capped mountain. It is so high that it goes deep into the clouds, forming a high wall that stands there permanently.
Sometimes the sun shines through the dark clouds, illuminating the vague outline of the Wanren Snow Mountain. The lines of the mountain lead all the way to the sky, which is both fascinating and despairing.
No one can climb that mountain, even if it has been there for a long time.
Until the end of the conversation, White Bones and Meguo both blindly believed that Simon wanted to recreate the past glory of White Fruit through the trainee team.
Is this actually the case?
Just look at Simon's squad names.
The five words of Snow Mountain Adventure Group are simple and clear, pointing directly to Baiguo’s original dream-mountain climbing.
When Xiaoqian saw the name of this team in the newspaper, she knew that Simon had not forgotten his original dream and was still fighting for it.
It was impossible for him to lose control, nor to stop exploring outside.
Only people who don't understand him still think that he quit the team just to rest.
Xiaoqian covered her chest with both hands, feeling so stuffy, or in other words, she felt that the air here was stuffy.
"What's going on? I feel so stuffy."
"The air here is so depressing... No, it's not the air."
Xiao Qian couldn't help but think of the last time she came to ask Simon why he quit the team.
The answer Simon gave her at that time is still vivid in her mind.
'Yes or no, it doesn't matter. I've wanted to leave for a long time, but I didn't make up my mind until yesterday. '
'The original adventure group... the current atmosphere is very bad. '
'Leaving there is the best choice. '
In just three short sentences, everything is explained.
"That's it, that's it, I understand..."
Xiao Qian murmured to herself, and her blocked thoughts were instantly cleared, and she understood the real reason why Simon quit the team.
She didn't quite understand what Simon meant by the atmosphere before, so she thought she had encountered something unhappy.
Now it seems that this is more than just unhappy.
It was obvious that this group of people had forgotten their original dreams and kept competing with the Red Rose Adventure Group.
After thinking about it, Xiao Qian suddenly felt that everything here was so strange, which made her feel disgusted.
She wants to leave here.
She wanted to go to Simon's side, follow in his footsteps again, and embark on the journey of that dream.
However, Captain Mei Guo would not agree so easily.
Meguo has signed an assistant transfer contract with a big adventure team. Tomorrow morning, the new full-time assistant will officially join the team.
She wanted to escape unscathed at this juncture, but the group leader would not agree.
And she joined the team late and did not have the financial resources to pay the full penalty.
Some people may say, you can just show off and wait for the group leader to kick you.
But this doesn't work either.
The effectiveness of the magic contract is quite terrifying. It connects adventurers across the entire land and can accurately detect whether adventurers comply with the spirit of the contract according to the rules.
Adventurers who deliberately mess up during dungeon battles and have the ability but do nothing will be affected by the collapse of faith, which will lead to a decline in realm and a certain probability of shattering the stars in the sea of consciousness.
This is one of the contract rules. It is written very broadly and is not particularly rigorous. Many people have used their brains to challenge the spirit of the contract.
For example, the contract stipulates that it cannot be messed up, right?
Then just cut yourself and hurt yourself. If you don't go to the wet nurse for treatment, as time passes, it will form a permanent wound that cannot be recovered.
Now, the adventurers themselves are not as powerful as before, and the dungeon is a team battle. A decline in a single player's combat effectiveness will affect the status of the entire team, thereby achieving the purpose of failure in disguise.
If the group leader can't stand it, he can negotiate according to regulations, come up with a result that both parties are satisfied with, and dismiss the injured person through formal methods.
To put it bluntly, she didn't care about quitting the team, let alone such a sideways method.
This was when everyone was camping in the dungeon for the night, and they were bored around the fire. Simon told some interesting gossip to warm up the scene, and she happened to write it down.
However, this method is not very good. It is useless to make a small wound and it will not affect the battle at all.
Only serious injuries such as broken legs, broken hands, and blind eyes can affect the balance of combat and achieve the purpose of defeating the enemy.
However, if she really does this, her own combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced and she will become a waste.
Even if he went to Simon's place, it would only hold him back.
She didn't want to become Simon's burden.
And Simon certainly didn't want her to quit the team in a way that would harm herself.
"What should we do?
"Simon..."
Xiao Qian looked at the snow-capped mountains and wondered where Simon would choose the new location after establishing the team and how many people he would recruit.
Presumably with his reputation, there should be no shortage of people.
“If I arrive late, will there be no room for me?
"But there are still three years until the contract expires. It will take a long time..."
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but close her eyes. Her facial expression didn't change at all, but her eyelashes were trembling violently.
This was the first time that she felt her inner emotions fluctuate greatly.
It turns out that I can be sad too.
