Demon King, Don’t Run Away

Chapter 197: It's really too difficult

Views:

In the Library of Everything area, the owner of the food store packed the food into wooden boxes, checked them one by one, and handed the checked list to a girl with short blond hair.

"These are what we need delivered today. Thank you for your help."

"No problem, leave it to me."

The blonde girl looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a monochrome rough cotton T-shirt and light shorts, and her face was full of elegance.

However, unlike her delicate appearance, the girl's palms are covered with calluses, and her skin color has turned into a healthy wheat color under the sun day after day.

The boxes filled with food were very heavy, and the girl had some difficulty arranging the boxes one by one on the carriage.

But the car was not driven by horses, but by a giant wolf that was more than two meters tall.

This giant wolf has gray-black fur, but its cheeks and legs are as white as snow. Its light blue eyes sparkle in the sun, and it has fluffy mane on its neck and shoulders like a lion. It looks majestic from a distance.

This domineering image made many passers-by stop and watch, and speculate on the species of this giant wolf.

Facing the occasional curious glances, the girl smiled faintly, moved all the heavy boxes onto the car, and straddled the giant wolf's back with extremely skilled movements.

"Lotkar, let's go."

The giant wolf Lothkar followed the instructions of the girl Yingluo Wulais, dragged the heavy carriage easily, and walked towards the living area of the Library of All Things.

After passing the inspection, the personnel recognized Yingluo and Lothkar even without their identification, and allowed them to pass without any trouble.

Faced with this giant wolf, most people in the library looked as if they were used to it.

The library members who were active in the living area simply ignored the giant wolf walking upright on the street and went about their own business.

Continuing to drive Lothcar, Yingluo arrived at the destination and handed the list in her hand to the store owner. The store owner checked the goods on the car one by one. After confirming that they were correct, Yingluo unloaded all the goods on the car by herself and delivered them to the kitchen.

In order to ensure the safety of the goods, Yingluo leaned back slightly when carrying the goods, took every step carefully, and tried her best to avoid everyone she met on the road, and delivered the goods to the kitchen intact.

When all the goods on the car were unloaded, a young man who looked like a waiter slowly took out a contribution card and settled the wages for Yingluo.

The store owner originally wanted to hire a magician to deliver all the goods to them in the blink of an eye, but he didn't expect that the one who came was a little girl who was a magic user.

They originally wanted to return the goods, let Yingluo put down the task in hand, and call other magicians, but they were persuaded by Yingluo and handed the task over to her.

As for the wages, the price had already been set when the commission was given, and they would not give Ying Luo a penny more just because she worked so hard.

However, Yingluo didn't seem dissatisfied.

The number on the contribution card jumped slightly. She slowly breathed a sigh of relief and patted Lothkar's shoulder. The furry fur instantly healed Yingluo's tired body and mind.

Climbing onto Lotkar's back again, Yingluo and Lotkar continued to head towards their next job location.

In this way, the man and the wolf cooperated with each other and ran around, and soon a day passed.

As the sun sank to the west, the busy Yingluo and Lotkar finally got a moment of peace and went to their usual store to buy dinner.

"I'm gonna start now."

Sitting in the square, watching other people talking and laughing in the square, Yingluo picked up her chopsticks and enjoyed an extremely simple vegetarian lunch box.

Lotkar sat not far away, slowly swallowing the meat in the bowl.

The library's contribution points and money have an exchange rate of one to one thousand. The daily tasks issued by the library are basically to collect contribution points. Working for the library can earn much more than working elsewhere, but Yingluo is very frugal.

All of this was to give Lotkar a decent home and prevent him from wandering alone outside the dormitory when she lived there.

Three years ago, after careful consideration, Yingluo chose to take out a loan, paying one-tenth of the interest, and bought a villa with a small courtyard where Lotkar could play and have fun.

It’s a pity that Yingluo has not yet paid off her mortgage, so she cannot renovate the villa privately and there is no way to allow Lotkar to live in the house.

Yingluo had already made up her mind. In about half a year, she would be able to pay off all the loans. At that time, she could start expanding the door and let Lotkar enter the house to enjoy the warm room without being exposed to wind and rain.

Therefore, in order to pay off the loan, Yingluo has been living a very tight life.

"It's almost time to go back."

After throwing the lunch box into the trash can, washing the dust off her body with the public faucet, and tidying up Lotkar's messy hair, Yingluo got on Lotkar again and returned to the villa she bought with a loan.

Everything around the villa remained the same, except that there was an older man there today.

The man stood at the door of her villa, looking around the villa furtively.

Lotkar became alert instantly, with a sharp look in his blue eyes, staring at the man as if he was staring at his prey.

As if he had noticed their arrival, the man stopped looking around the villa. His sight met that of Lotkar who was growling continuously. He smiled faintly and saluted them.

"Hello, this lady must be Miss Yingluo, right? My name is Yang Yu, I am a new student who just enrolled this year, and I am also a monster user. I heard that Miss Yingluo is also a monster user, so I wanted to come over and make some friends."

After getting off Lotkar's back, Yingluo looked at Yang Yu. She could not see any aristocratic air in Yang Yu at all. From the way he was dressed, Yingluo concluded that Yang Yu should be an adventurer who traveled around everywhere.

Yingluo patted Lotkar lightly, causing him to stop growling, and asked, "What on earth do you want to talk to me about? It shouldn't be as simple as just making friends, right?"

Yingluo didn't believe that Yang Yu came here just to make friends. Besides, she didn't see Yang Yu bringing any monsters with him, so it was a little hard for him to believe that he was a monster user.

In fact, Yang Yu also wanted to bring He Meng here, but he didn't even ask where Bai Jin had gone in the morning. It was really too difficult to look for Bai Jin in every classroom.

If there were mobile phones in this world, it would just be a matter of a phone call.

However, the science and technology in this world are very subtle. Unless you are a magician, if you want to find someone, you can only wait in places he often goes to, or make an appointment in advance to meet at a designated place.

If Yang Yu wanted to find Bai Jin to get He Meng back, he could only wait until night time to rest.
