Celia had lost the strength to struggle. Strong fatigue came over her, and her eyelids began to become heavy. Just when she was about to fall asleep, she vaguely heard the sound of conversation coming from outside the spider web.
She perked up and immediately woke up.
Is it a passing adventurer?
Great, maybe I can be saved.
She immediately shouted for help: "Is there anyone outside? Help me, I'm here!" and struggled again.
There was suddenly no movement outside, and Celia felt a chill in her heart. Could it be that the sound just now was just an illusion?
"Hey, let her go." The voice that suddenly sounded was clearer. It seemed to be outside the spider web, very close to her. It was the voice of a man who sounded very gentle.
This time she didn't yell, and listened quietly to what was going on outside.
"You just let her go as you say. Wouldn't it be shameful for me? With so many of my subordinates watching and her beating so many of my younger brothers to death, it would be very difficult for me to just let her go."
"If you really care about them, why did you let the previous adventurer go? You didn't intend to hurt her in the first place, right?"
"I'm really sorry, but now I have changed my mind. These rude and rude adventurers sneak into other people's homes every day, regardless of whether the owner agrees or not. It is really rude. I have decided to break into the cave in the future. Kill all the adventurers who come here, starting with this one."
Celia, who was wrapped in a spider web, was shocked. Is this woman speaking the lord of this cave? Who was the man she was talking to? Is it also a powerful monster?
The man spoke again.
"You're kidding, right?"
"What do you think?" the woman sneered.
After a short silence.
"I understand, is it because I'm here that you want to raise the price and negotiate terms?"
"Isn't it?" The woman's tone sounded very unbeatable, making Celia's fists feel itchy.
"Okay, okay, I'll let you go to the bar for an hour every day from now on." The man reluctantly compromised.
Celia was stunned for a moment.
Bar? What bar?
"Only an hour? Let's kill her."
"Two hours! No more."
"Well, she seems to have pretty good muscles. It should taste chewy."
"Do you want to stay at the bar forever?"
"Sounds like it feels good."
"No kidding, what about the work outside the bar? Who's going to take care of the customers?"
Wait, what kind of work are they talking about, what kind of guests are they receiving? Isn't that woman the monster lord here?
Are they working in some strange place?
Celia's mind was already a little confused.
"Isn't there still Nilu?" the woman asked again.
"If you can get her to stay awake while she's at work, that's fine with me."
After a brief silence, the female voice spoke again.
"The little follower next to you eats and drinks for free in the store every day and has nothing to do. Just let her come."
"Who is the follower?" Another voice retorted, sounding very young and lacking confidence, and then asked in a low voice: "Are you paid?"
"You think I'm the store manager? If you want your salary, go to him, or let the guy trapped inside pay it."
The man said: "Isn't that blackmail?"
"Really, I seem to hear my little brothers saying that they are hungry."
"Okay, okay! I agree to your terms and let you stay and work at the bar from now on." The man finally compromised.
Soon, Celia felt someone touching the cobwebs outside. The cobwebs on her body quickly lost their activity and turned into dust and scattered.
She returned to the world outside the spider web again.
Standing in front of her was a young man holding a large black staff. The top of the staff emitted a soft light, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Next to him stood a girl in purple robes and a blonde woman with a proud smile.
She paused for a moment, remembering the content of their conversation, and immediately took out her purse, held it up with both hands, and said solemnly:
"Thank you very much. This is the remuneration for your return. It's 856 gold in total, which is all my property. If it's not enough, I can go back to the city and get the money for you."
Lin Ge took the money bag and waved his hand.
"No, these are enough."
"Can you tell me your name? Well, I am Celia, a monk who is adventuring alone. I don't want to know anything by asking this, I just want to know your name."
It turned out to be a female warrior monk.
Ringer looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise. Her body was still covered with some white spider silk. Although she had muscles, they were not the exaggerated, tight, masculine muscles of men, but just right, with graceful and smooth texture. The lines give people a healthy and lively aesthetic.
And with that cute and delicate face and soft and smooth silver hair, even if she was said to be a young lady from a noble family, Ling Ge would still believe her.
"Linger."
Celia silently wrote down the name.
"Celia has remembered the kindness of saving each other."
Celia glanced at Elise and left in a hurry. Although she still had many questions in her heart, a mature adventurer knew when to remain silent.
As soon as Celia left, Elise teased Linge and said, "Isn't she cute? Your eyes are almost popping out. I gave you, a hero, a chance to save the beauty. Why don't you thank me properly."
Lin Ge turned his head wordlessly and found Lanya staring at him with strange eyes, as if questioning him, is she really that cute?
He couldn't help but laugh, weighed the money bag in his hand, and threw it towards Lanya.
Lanya hurriedly caught it, the little emotion in her heart immediately dissipated, and she stammered: "G-give it to me?"
"If you're willing to help out at the tavern, consider these your wages."
Lanya said excitedly: "Of course Dangdang is willing."
She only had to work 6 hours a day, there was no place for guests, and she could eat, drink, and live. She was actually paid more than 800 gold. She couldn't think of a better job than this.
You can rent a beautiful and capable elf maid for a whole year for 800 gold, but she doesn't know anything.
She would be willing to work in that bar for ten years if she could get so much remuneration.
However, she took out a 50-gold coin and returned the purse to Ringer.
"You'd better keep it for me, I'm afraid I'll lose it again."
Lin Ge smiled and said: "Okay, if you need money in the future, just come to me and get it."
After putting the money bag into the space ring, Linger remembered that the money bag containing more than a thousand gold that Lanya had lost a few days ago might be in this spider cave, so he said to Elise:
"Elise, can you ask your little brothers if any of them have seen Lanya's money bag?"
Elise, who regained the right to enter the bar, was in a good mood and agreed immediately.
"No problem, I'll give you the results when I get to work the day after tomorrow."
Lin Ge remembered another thing.
"By the way, let's ask your little brothers, have any of them lost their teeth recently?"
The adventurer's guild registration task requires a spider tooth as a certificate. Since Elise is the lord of this cave, it shouldn't be a problem for her subordinates to donate a tooth.
"It's easy to talk about."
Elise was in a great mood and summoned a spider boy nearby. This spider boy was covered in fluff, half a person tall, and had a row of small round eyes on his head. He was inexplicably cute.
Especially the pair of shiny black fangs that make people want to touch them.
Click.
Elise stretched out her hand, pulled out the left fang of this little cutie, and threw it to Ringer.
"If one is enough, I'll also pull out the one over there for you."
