"Huh? Mr. Liao Yu?"
The Adventurers Association, the commission hall, the staff who had received Liao Yu before, were full of surprise when they saw Liao Yu coming back so soon. How long had passed, not even half an hour.
Liao Yu put a suitcase at the front desk, and the staff looked inside the box. It was a little ragdoll cat that kept meowing, exactly like the photo on the commission.
"We were lucky. As soon as we arrived at the missing place, we heard a kitten meowing in the tree. When we climbed up and took a look, we found that it was the missing kitten in the commission."
After Liao Yu gave a brief explanation, the staff first checked to make sure it was correct, then turned to the backstage to carry out the entrustment confirmation and delivery procedures for Liao Yu.
But after a while, the staff came back quickly and said to Liao Yu:
"Mr. Liao Yu, can you please wait here for a while? We have just contacted the entrusted employer. The employer is already on the way. She hopes to thank you in person."
Um?
Come directly to meet me?
Liao Yu was a little surprised, but this saved him some trouble.
"No problem." Of course Liao Yu would not refuse, and he immediately sat down on the sofa in the tea room under the guidance of the staff.
Liao Yu was not asked to wait any longer.
In about ten minutes, there was a commotion at the entrance of the Adventurers Association lobby.
"Look at that carriage. Is it my imagination? This horse feels bigger than others. Look at the horse's eyes! It's actually a different color!?"
"You are ignorant. This kind of horse is imported and can only be raised in the empire. The strange eyes are a symbol of magic power. This horse itself can release simple first-level wind spells, which is amazing! But it is said that A day’s worth of feed costs several gold!”
"Who on earth has to be able to afford such a horse?"
"Are you a foreigner? Have you seen the four-leaf clover emblem on the carriage? Everyone in the royal city knows that it belongs to Earl Vidler's family!"
"Count Vidler...ah! Isn't this one of the nobles who formed the Five Flowers Alliance? Why is such a noble master coming to our association now?"
The luxurious aristocratic carriage with different-eyed horses stopped at the entrance of the Adventurers Association, immediately attracting the attention of many adventurers in the hall.
Then, the person who was helped down from the carriage by the butler was a young lady wearing tan leather shoes, an exquisite dark green dress, and a beautiful long-brimmed sun hat.
Although the brim of the hat is very long, it can still be exposed from time to time. Under the brim, a young, pretty and cute face, even if you just catch a glimpse of it, will make people stop and be attracted by its charming temperament.
"It's the daughter of Earl Vidler's family! It's Miss Ariel!"
"So...so beautiful..."
"Of course! Miss Ariel is the second runner-up in our Illinois Royal City's Celebrity Contest!"
"What? He's actually second? Who's first?"
"Hmph, who else could it be? Of course it would be Princess Yuffie."
"No wonder..."
"I really want to be Miss Ariel's dog...guard!"
"Wait a minute, it looks like the eldest lady is here to find someone in our association?"
There was a lot of heated discussion, and the excited adventurers who were watching were right.
I saw that this beautiful young lady did not have much of the dignity of a noble. She took small steps and ran into the Adventurers Association hall without waiting for the old housekeeper behind her.
With bright eyes, after looking around the hall, she quickly located Liao and Yu on the sofa in the tea room.
I saw this eldest lady waving her hands happily, holding up a dark green skirt, and trotting all the way to Liao Yu.
"Hello! It's you who helped Ariel find Bu Lulu!"
At this time, the staff of the association rushed over and explained to Liao Yu and the others:
"Mr. Liao Yu, this is your previous employer, Miss Ariel of Earl Vidler's family. Miss, this is your lost pet. We have checked it and there is nothing serious."
The staff said and handed the suitcase to Ariel. The eldest lady couldn't wait to open it, hugged the ragdoll cat inside, and rubbed it on her face affectionately. The joy of regaining it was beyond words.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Thank you both!”
"Wherever I can help Miss Ariel."
I don’t know if it’s because Liao Yu’s plain appearance is completely different from the other adventurers around who are very excited and excited about her, or maybe Ariel is really grateful to Liao Yu.
In short, the eldest lady immediately shook her head, put on a very serious expression and said:
"No, no! Ariel must repay you two well. Let me think about it... Well! It's decided! Ariel wants to invite you two to her home! Mom and Dad said that after meeting a good person, You must treat them to a meal! Ariel is going to treat you to a big dinner!"
"Miss, this... this is not good. Although they have completed the commission, their identities have not yet been..." At this time, the old housekeeper who had arrived late intervened from the side and tried to dissuade him.
But the effect is very poor.
"I don't care, I don't care! Ariel will invite them to her home today!" The eldest lady put her hands on her hips, showing an angry and stubborn look. Seeing this, the old housekeeper seemed to be helpless and could only shake his head. Sighed.
"You two, I'm sorry that our eldest lady is a little rude. I wonder if you two are willing to come as a guest? Of course, if you have other arrangements later, I will convince the eldest lady."
The housekeeper finally gave the choice to Liao Yu.
Although Ariel muttered a little and was not very happy, she didn't say anything. She just looked at Liao Yu expectantly with her innocent and beautiful eyes.
Under this scene, countless adventurers in the hall cast jealous glances at Liao Yu, looking regretful. Why were they not lucky enough to receive such a commission?
Especially the male adventurers from other places, in their view, there is no need to hesitate about such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They all wish they could come up and immediately agree to have dinner with Miss Ariel for Liao Yu.
Even looking at the intoxicated fantasies on some people's faces, I'm afraid they have already imagined the beautiful love story between a poor boy and a rich girl, and what the name of the child will be.
However, among the vast majority of envious and jealous adventurers, a handful of people cast an unbearable and regretful look in Liao Yu's direction.
If Liao Yu saw it, he would find that the leader of this group of obviously experienced and vigorous adventurers bought the "Star Dou Technique" at the auction of the prop shop "Lanqi" last night. Yes, the burly commander with a ferocious face.
"Sit back!"
The group leader pressed the button, and a girl seemed like she couldn't help but wanted to "remind" Liao Yu.
"But Captain, are we just going to watch..."
The ferocious-looking man had a somewhat helpless look on his face. He shook his head and said, "You helped this one, but what about the next one? What about the next one? Can you help them all?"
"Our Eagle Horn Mercenary Group has developed to a certain scale now, but compared to the Earl, it is still too weak compared to the Wuhua Alliance."
The female adventurer was silent, clenching the staff in her hand and lowering her head in frustration.
Seeing this, the burly leader seemed to be heartbroken and consoled him:
"Alright Luna, I promise you, one day, when we really have enough strength, I will be the first to take you to join the Great Princess Yuffie. Together, we will punish those bastards and change this... What a rotten country!”
"Um..."
In the end, the female adventurer named "Luna" nodded and gave up. She could only watch helplessly as Liao Yu, the two "foreign" adventurers, accepted the invitation immediately and got on the carriage with Ariel.
In this scene, she seemed to have touched some painful memories from the past.
The female adventurer clenched the fingers of the staff harder and harder until the joints turned white. Her eyes were filled with grief and hatred.
