"Mr. Xiaolin! You are back!"
The moment he saw the person outside the door, Hill immediately showed a cheerful smile and hurried forward to greet him.
It is not a business-like smile when greeting guests, nor a distant smile when talking to Hermes, but a sweet smile that is more enthusiastic and sincere.
The completely different treatment made Hermes extremely sad, and his helpless smile was full of bitterness.
It's just pretending, just showing off.
Xiao Lin looked directly at the gray-haired maid who was shorter than him, resisted the urge to rub her head, and said after a long time of greetings: "Sil, long time no see, how are you?"
"Yes, Mr. Xiaolin!"
Hill responded sweetly.
Especially after discovering that Xiao Lin no longer had the vague estrangement in the past, but was more proactive in getting along with her, her smile became even cuter.
[Charm] spreads out slowly and unconsciously.
The surrounding adventurers were immediately attracted and stared at her.
The atmosphere in the tavern changed instantly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Hermes narrowed his eyes and said proactively: "Oh, isn't this Xiaolin? Where have you been during this time?"
As he spoke, he seemed to have special power, breaking the atmosphere of the tavern and awakening the addicted adventurers.
Hill also woke up and quickly calmed down before it caused big trouble.
She also didn't expect that she would be so excited to meet Xiao Lin after a long absence.
Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows, but said in the same frivolous tone as him: "It's obviously Lord Shangshen who has been avoiding me, so why do you still blame me?"
He was alluding to what happened when he came back from the 59th floor and wanted to repay the other party but disappeared first.
Hermes scratched his head and smiled heartily: "Hahaha, is that so? Sorry, I happened to be busy at that time."
Liar, obviously hiding on purpose.
He can probably think of the reason.
Combined with the fact that Hermes took the initiative to come to the tavern to ask Hill and the others about him, he must have left deliberately because he wanted to gain control over his origins. However, he returned in despair after finding nothing. Labyrinth City.
Xiao Lin looked at him with a smile.
Hermes was speechless for a moment, and after thinking about it, he realized that the things he had covered up had been seen through. In the embarrassment, he became angry and said: "Xiao Lin! I am your benefactor, that's right! So please, save some face for me, Okay?"
The first part is quite tough, but the second part is soft and thorough.
Considering the other party's inherently frivolous and funny personality, it's not incomprehensible.
"Benefactor?" Hill next to him heard the keyword and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Actually, I was very curious from the beginning, why did Lord Hermes know Mr. Xiaolin, and what happened to the benefactor?"
"actually……"
Xiaolin didn't hide anything from the silver-gray-haired maid and told her what happened on the 59th floor.
At the same time, it also meant to satisfy Hermes' curiosity, even though the other party may have known about the process through other channels.
Hill exclaimed: "That's too dangerous!"
"Well……"
"Mr. Xiaolin! Why do you want to go to such a dangerous place? You are only LV2. You should think more about your own safety!"
"With the care of Loki's family, there was no danger..."
After being stared at by Hill, Xiaolin's voice became smaller and smaller.
Even if he tried to be brave and said that he was not in danger, the consumed potion and feathers given by Hermes could not be faked, making it seem like he was quibbling no matter what he said.
The angry girl finally sighed and immediately took Xiao Lin's hands.
Under the murderous looks, her big watery eyes showed extremely obvious worry, and she said with concern: "Don't take risks, Mr. Xiaolin. You must cherish yourself, even if you don't think about yourself, you must still Think about other people. Don't let her worry about you, okay?
I always feel like you're implying something.
Hill didn't say who 'she' was, and others thought the silver-haired maid was talking about herself, but Xiao Lin understood that she was talking about another person.
The girl's charming aura burst out again, surrounding the two of them, as if a nail was driven deeply into Xiao Lin's mind. However, it encountered a thin film at the deepest point, and the nails flew away as if provoked.
Xiao Lin, who was unaware of it, replied:
"Definitely next time!"
Seeing that he was not affected, Hill was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled again.
The reddish cheeks, eyes gradually blurred, and even breathing became rapid.
She could hardly bear it any longer.
At this moment, Hermes suddenly said: "Hill, I have been working here for a long time. I happened to meet Xiao Lin. Could you please bring me some wine?"
"……OK."
Hill looked at Xiao Lin deeply, covered the lower half of his face with the menu, turned around and walked quickly to the kitchen.
Looking at her beautiful back, the frivolous male god said, "How about it, she's very cute."
"Very cute. Or rather too cute."
"But Hill is very difficult to chase. If you are not careful, you will be eaten away."
"I'm awake. Just look at them and you'll know."
Xiao Lin pointed with his chin and still cast a look of dissatisfaction, disgust and jealousy on him.
The two of them laughed and raised their tea cups at the same time to cover their faces.
'Old fox. '
'Little Fox. '
They were all slanderous in secret.
Hermes was just testing, he wanted to know if Xiaolin knew about Hill. Xiao Lin also noticed his intention, so he blocked it smoothly.
It's just that Hermes vaguely felt that something was wrong. Nothing was more accurate than the intuition of the gods. He believed in his own intuition.
Looking at the confrontation, Yasifei shook her head helplessly and gave Liu Zi behind Xiao Lin an apologetic look.
Maybe it's because we've been together for too long, and she already knows what she wants to do when her god lifts her butt.
It was nothing more than testing.
When Hill returned to the kitchen, his face was red and his body was a little weak. He subconsciously leaned against the wall and panted slightly.
Lyu, who was busy, threw down the plate in his hand, walked up quickly to support her, and said caring words with a cold expression: "Sil, are you okay? Your body is so hot, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"
The elf maid was a little nervous for some unknown reason.
Although she looks like an icy beauty, she is very gentle when she speaks. She is very concerned and very desperate when it comes to her companions.
At this time, the kitchen maids who noticed the interaction between the two also gathered around.
Hill serves as the absolute core of this tavern. She is not only popular among adventurers, but also loved by other maids. If anything unexpected happens, they will all be worried.
Hill shook his head: "I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy."
To be precise, I was so excited that I couldn't control myself.
Because Xiaolin's soul is more dazzling than before!
Crystal clear is no longer enough to describe his soul. It should be pure, shining, and even exude a faint aura of God within.
The proof is that Xiao Lin bounced her charm away.
But who is that divine power?
I have to say, she was a little jealous.
When Liu saw Hill's slightly distorted expression, he thought that she was indeed feeling uncomfortable, so he quickly said, "Don't work too hard. Let's take a rest."
Popular people always work hard, and it shows even more in a tavern.
Hill was slightly anxious and said subconsciously: "But, Mr. Xiaolin...!"
"Brother, is he here?!"
Upon hearing the familiar name, a cat-eared girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she ran out quickly.
"Wait...! Anya?!"
Hill realized that he had made a mistake and stretched out his hand to stop his companion. But when she saw the cat-eared girl chatting happily with Xiao Lin, she retracted her outstretched hands and put her shoulders together, her expression was lonely and her voice became weak.
"I'm sorry, I don't seem to be feeling well. I'm going to take a rest first."
"Oh, oh... please."
Liu's face was full of doubts, until after Hill looked deeply in a certain direction before going upstairs, she followed his gaze and seemed to understand something.
Is it love?
Lyu was silent for a moment.
Because she was too worried, she quietly walked upstairs after saying hello.
But when she was about to knock on the door, there was suddenly a slight shout and an inexplicable friction sound from inside the door.
"Xiao Lin...Xiao Lin...Xiao Lin...!"
The elf maid who seemed to understand something suddenly blushed slightly, and at the same time she covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound, and walked downstairs quietly without stopping.
Back in the kitchen, under questioning from others, she told everyone not to disturb Hill's rest. As a companion, she can only do so much.
And the other side.
Aniya rushed to Xiao Lin's side and shouted: "Brother!"
"Hey, Aniya? Where is Miss Hill?"
"Sil suddenly feels unwell, so I will be the one to receive the two cats next!"
The cat-eared girl meowed while striking a cute pose, and her tail kept swishing back and forth behind her. It seemed that she was very confident in her entertaining skills.
But she was like this, causing the hostility that had just dissipated around her to rekindle.
Xiao Lin quickly told her his request, and told her to discuss things with Hermes, and told her not to disturb him.
Although Aniya was a little out of tune, she was still very obedient and quickly ran back to the kitchen with a promise.
"Okay, no one will bother me this time."
"Then let's get started. Just in time, I also want to thank God Hermes."
Hermes took the initiative to drag Xiao Lin to drink.
It looked like he was trying to get him drunk and then use the opportunity to extract information.
joke!
Kobayashi is Aqua's dependent and drinks a lot of wine every day. Even if it is water of life (96% alcohol concentration), he can drink it without changing his expression like water.
Don't get him drunk unless it's Birdie Vodka!
As the wine was poured down one cup after another, the table between the two was filled with empty wine glasses. The extra empty wine glasses were piled half a meter high, almost covering their faces.
But Hermes did not let Anya take away the empty wine glass, but instead placed it here like a medal.
"Hey, look! Isn't that Hermes?"
"What is he doing? Is he competing for his drinking capacity? Then who is the person opposite him?"
"I remember... he should be Xiaolin from the Ouranos Familia, and his title is [The Binding One]? But he is really courageous, and he dares to compete with the gods for drinking."
"What a coward! The gods have sealed the divine power, just like humans! I support Xiao Lin! Come on! Xiao Lin! You must drink from the gods and let the gods above see the power of our people in the lower world!"
"Fart! Will the gods lose? I stand on the side of God Hermes! Come on, let the guys who don't know the heights of the world understand how powerful the gods are!"
I don’t know why, but the people around me started shouting. Although there was a suspicion of quarreling, the original purpose of the two was to get each other drunk.
"Tons, tons, tons, tons..."
"Tons, tons, tons, tons..."
The wall of wine glasses built up in front of him grew taller and taller, and the cheers of the onlookers grew louder and louder.
"50 cups, 50 cups!"
"So strong! Are they two gods of wine?!"
"Is the human stomach that big? Could it be that alcohol is flowing in the body instead of blood?"
Low voices kept coming from all around, filling the corner of the tavern with water.
Asphi wanted to stop Hermes, who was already blushing and looking shaky, but as soon as she made a move, she saw her main god giving her a secret wink, which showed that everything was still under control.
On the outside, it looks like it has reached the critical point, but in fact it is just an illusion to paralyze Xiao Lin.
But Xiao Lin's face remained normal, not affected by alcohol at all. He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, then put it down again.
The mechanical repetitive movements make people wonder if he is a doll.
The most important thing is that the two of them never went to the toilet once during this period. It seems that they are not only competing for alcohol consumption, but also for bladder capacity.
Xiao Lin didn't know what happened to Hermes, he only knew that he couldn't hold on any longer.
At first, he was quite able to do it with ease, but then he kept trying to speed up the drinking to make Hermes drunk as quickly as possible, so he secretly purified the wine into water. He didn't expect that the other party's alcohol capacity was so good. Instead, his alcohol could not be used, causing everything down there to be water. .
Just when he couldn't hold it any longer, a rough voice stopped the drinking session.
"You two, stop! And you idiots who are joining in the fun, get out of here! It's already affecting other guests! Are you idiots?"
The sullen mother Mia glared at them fiercely.
And behind her tall body, a cat-eared girl stuck out her tongue and made faces at Xiao Lin.
It's Anya.
Maybe she called Mia's mother because she saw that Xiao Lin was not feeling right.
After all, no one except the store manager could stop the stalemate.
The powerful [Little Giant] made the guests scatter in all directions as soon as they appeared. Some of the drunkards above still wanted to shout, but after Mia stepped hard on the floor, which made a dull sound, they immediately stopped.
The pressure is too much.
Only then did they remember who had the final say here.
With the strong intervention of Mia's mother, Xiao Lin and Hermes had to stop.
Then--
The two people, who were equally matched, suddenly held their right hands in mid-air and showed smiles recognizing each other.
Snapped! Snapped!
"You two are idiots!"
They were hit hard on the head by Yasifei who was so angry.
