There is nothing new under the sun.
Devans City accepts hundreds of adventurers every year, and the procedures are mature and simple. Chen Le quickly obtained her temporary residence permit.
The two walked side by side on the roadside, heading towards the Adventurer's Guild not far away. The girl raised the small card in her hand, pointed it at the sun, and narrowed her eyes.
Under the sunlight, complex and beautiful patterns gradually appeared on the card, shining with colorful lights.
This is the anti-counterfeiting mark printed on the official certificate. It is a typical example of the application of divine magic to items. The inventor is the great being who created the Human Alliance hundreds of years ago.
For this reason, this small card is valuable as a high-level magic material. It is something officially "leased" to Chen Le by Devans City. It must be returned to the Public Security Bureau at the end of the time limit or when leaving the city.
The girl paid three silver coins for this little thing.
"Is it novel?"
Valentin noticed Chen Le's movements. He turned his head and focused his gaze on the card, and the girl's ID photo came into view.
But unlike most ID photos on the planet, the girl in this photo smiles so brightly that she looks a bit silly.
"Indeed... this is the first time I have seen this kind of card."
Chen Le blinked and put the hand holding the card on his chest. Because of the angle, all the patterns on the card disappeared, allowing the two of them to clearly see the content printed on it.
Photo, name, guarantor...
Some very basic information.
"Our tribe doesn't have anything like this to prove our identity."
"That's because your tribe is isolated from the rest of the world and has almost no communication with the outside world. When someone gives birth to a child, everyone in the tribe knows about it, and everyone knows each other."
Although the last time he saw Tushan was more than two hundred years ago, Valentine still remembered what the fox tribe looked like at that time.
It is very small and the houses are very simple, almost like a human village.
There are cultivated fields and pastures. People work at sunrise and rest at sunset. It is basically pitch dark at night.
The only difference from the human village is the huge formation outside Tushan.
Every life that mistakenly falls into the formation will circle away from Tushan, even if they keep moving forward.
"That's true..."
The girl nodded slightly and put the card into her pocket.
This thing is quite expensive...
It must be kept well.
In an instant, Chen Le seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the young man beside him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Wait, how do you know the characteristics of our tribe?"
Everyone in the Tushan tribe has a blood relationship, which is much stronger than that of humans in the outside world.
As long as they are not biological children, their offspring will not suffer from genetic diseases.
This is one of the reasons why Tushan is closed.
"I guessed it."
The girl's question had no momentum at all. Her frowning brows and big watery eyes made Valentine think she was not only cute but also deceitful.
I really want to RUA the animal ears on her head...
It must be very comfortable.
"Really……"
Chen Le still had some doubts about the young man's explanation.
Although she is naive, she is not stupid, she just looks that way.
If Valentin really had bad intentions and wanted to trick the fox-eared girl into bed, Chen Le himself could cut off this guy's descendants without Tang Yuwen showing up.
Sebijupa!
"With your temporary residence permit, you can enter the Adventurer's Guild. The location is just ahead."
Valentin didn't care about the girl's questions. He raised his head slightly and motioned for the girl next to him to look forward.
"You can take a test first to see if you are qualified to become an intermediate adventurer. After my recommendation, you should be fine."
He raised his left hand and shook it.
"Then go and sell these materials."
"When this is all over...it will be time for dinner."
Not long ago, when they were fighting monsters in the forest, the sun was still hanging in the middle of the sky. At this moment, the blazing fire was slowly falling towards the horizon, stretching the shadows of the two of them very long.
"Um."
Chen Le nodded slightly and did not delve into what happened just now.
In her heart, this human boy has many secrets, but he is definitely a good person.
Tang Yuwen acknowledged him, and she could feel the other person's kindness.
Very clean.
————————After a while————————
When the girl pushed open the door of the Adventurer's Guild, the discomfort she felt at the city gate came again.
Sights, lots of sights. Like a needle, it was thrown over.
Everyone in the hall focused on the two people standing at the door, which made Chen Le feel even more nervous, and the tail behind him also shrunk in size.
It seems like the hairs on it are all tightly stuck together.
She leaned toward Valentine.
"Long time no see, Yifeng!"
The awkward silence didn't last long. With a greeting coming from nowhere, the hall returned to its original lively appearance.
Team formation, trading, information exchange or just chatting, it seems as lively as a tavern.
But it wasn't noisy, they all kept their voices down well and didn't cause any trouble to others.
Chen Le breathed a sigh of relief when his gaze dispersed, and his erect tail drooped.
"Hello!"
As a result, a close greeting made her nervous again, like a frightened rabbit.
"Ah uh... hello!"
The girl sighed softly and quickly replied after noticing her gaffe.
She has always been so sweet and polite.
The person who came was a tall woman, half a head taller than Chen Le, who had his ears pricked up. She was wearing a thick leather armor and carrying a spear behind her back. She looked like a soldier.
"That's right, kid. You used to go to the forest and bring back some magic materials. This time you bring back a girlfriend?"
The woman looked at Chen Le for a few times and patted Valentin on the shoulder with a wicked smile.
"This dad will definitely be happy to death if he finds out... Oh no, he should be happy to live."
Valentine raised his head and glanced lightly at the woman in front of him, then took her hand off his shoulder.
The sisters were so adorable that they made the whole family happy.
"Selena...if you say that, daddy, be careful he comes looking for you at night."
"That's just right. I have a lot to say to him over the years."
The tall woman named Selena rubbed her hands with excitement on her face.
Chen Le stood beside Valentine, looking at the intimate interaction between them, feeling a little at a loss.
How does it feel...
Do you seem to have suddenly become redundant?
And what did this woman just say?
I am……
Yifeng's girlfriend?
…
The fox-eared lady suddenly realized that her cheeks turned red, and the ears on her head softened. She looked like she had a high fever, and the top of her head was still steaming out.
Valentin noticed something strange about the girl. He was about to say something, but Selena beat him to it.
She held Chen Le's hand, her expression was extremely cordial, her voice was much softer than before, but she said one sentence after another like a barrage of words:
"Little girl, my name is Selena. I am this guy's sister. Although she is not a biological child, she is better than a biological child. I beat him a lot when I was a child..."
"Believe me, he is definitely a good guy. He is a good guy from the inside out. He is a good man worthy of being entrusted with your life. Marrying him is your blessing...er, no, it is his blessing."
"A girl as cute, beautiful, gentle, kind, sweet and innocent as you should have a better choice, but there is no way. The best man in this world is Yifeng."
"If you feel aggrieved, just marry him. How about I be your bridesmaid when you get married? Best man, too..."
In just two minutes, Selena praised Valentin and Chen Le as the golden boy and girl, a match made in heaven and earth. She was so dumbfounded that the little girl didn't even say a word. Standing there listening to her nonsense felt like losing my soul.
Valentin slapped his forehead, regretting that he had brought Chen Le to the Adventurer's Guild at this time.
In this life, he wanted to live the life of an ordinary person and live in seclusion in the city, so he specially started to experience it from an early age, which is how he was later adopted by a bishop.
But the bishop did not only have one adopted son, he also adopted many other orphans, Selina was one of them, and the most naughty one.
As a girl, she was more energetic than boys. She climbed trees in two days and got a house in three days, and was often scolded by the nuns.
Valentin has known Selena for a long time because he was too quiet and an outlier among a group of children, so Selina often took the initiative to take him out to play, and the two became good friends over time.
Until today.
"Selena."
The young man couldn't stand it anymore and spoke softly.
The tone of these three words was very shallow, but in Selena's ears they were as heavy as mountains.
Because this means that her good brother Yifeng is angry.
"Hey, don't be angry, I'm doing this for your own good..."
The woman forced out an awkward smile and let go of Chen Le's hand.
The fox-eared girl swayed, but luckily she recovered and didn't fall down.
"You are nineteen years old, it's time to find a girlfriend."
"I've been in love four times since I was your age."
Selina didn't give up and continued to persuade her good brother.
"Yes, four times."
The young man showed a sneer.
"Three of them were when you were in church and you were forced to fall in love with you. You were only eleven years old at that time."
Selena was not angry after being exposed, she just scratched her head.
"That's also love... I told them that they can express their opinions if they have any."
"And beat them up?"
"Then I was taken care of by dad."
The woman shrugged and rolled her eyes.
Now that Yifeng is angry, it's time for her to leave. As a soldier in Devans City, she still has business to attend to.
"Goodbye, my good brother, and this lovely girl, I still have work to do, so I won't accompany you."
“Have a nice day!”
The door of the union creaked behind the two of them, and the woman named Selina left gracefully after leaving a blessing, showing no remorse for the trouble she had caused.
Valentin looked at the still dazed girl beside him and sighed softly.
Did you help me or stab me...
