Douglas quickly collected the herbs.
Ji Jinrong happily handed to Douglas an A-level power potion that was enough to drive the entire Quicksand City crazy. When Douglas said that he would pay him the difference after returning, Ji Jinrong said with a smile: "It's enough for Mr. Douglas to promise you in person, and this medicine should be regarded as a bride price!"
Douglas: "…"
Douglas said sternly: "I'm not poor." No future partner needs to lose money to give the Knights of Light the potion.
Ji Jinrong knew how principled Douglas was, so he didn't mention the money again. Anyway, he can spend no matter how much money he has, and he doesn't care how much Douglas gives.
Ji Jinrong said, "Give the potion to Owen and the others, and then we'll go out for a stroll."
As a couple, how can you go shopping without holding hands =v=
Seeing the anticipation and joy in Ji Jinrong's eyes, Douglas did not object. He and Ji Jinrong went to Owen together, and took out thirty bottles of A-level strength potion under Owen's ghostly eyes.
Every time he took an extra bottle, Owen's eyes widened, like a bumpkin who had never seen the world.
When I first heard that Ji Jinrong had so many A-level strength potions, I might have looked so silly.
Douglas thought to himself, making up his mind to know everything about Ji Jinrong as soon as possible, so as not to show such a fool again.
Douglas took the initiative to hold Ji Jinrong's hand.
The sun was just right outside, and Ji Jinrong squinted his eyes from the sun, feeling warm all over his body, which was extremely comfortable. He asked courteously, "Douglas, is there anything you would like to buy?"
Douglas always felt that something was wrong.
This guy seems to be pursuing him like a girl!
Douglas asked without answering, "Is there anything you want to buy?"
Ji Jinrong was not polite to him at all: "I want to buy food!" Anything is fine, as long as you can eat it!
Douglas: "…"
Douglas walked the streets and alleys with Ji Jinrong under the astonished eyes around him, looking for delicious food in Quicksand City following the aroma of food.
Those who come to Quicksand City are either businessmen or experts, and their purpose is either to make money or to improve their strength. There are not many people who simply come here to "consume".
The aura emitted by Douglas showed that he was the strongest of the strong, but this strong man with a cold face actually ate and ate with a weak mage all the way, and from time to time he opened his mouth to swallow the food that the little mage fed him. !
What the hell!
The mood of the others was very consistent: I really beeped the dog, why did the food on their hands look so delicious!
So before they knew it, the food vendors in Quicksand City were out of stock! The business is better than black merchants who sell books such as "Super Awesome Master's Handbook That Successful People Must Read", "99 Martial Arts Secrets That 25-Year-Old Warriors Must Know" and so on!
The law of selling out is very simple: Wherever Ji Jinrong and Douglas eat, they will be sold out!
Ji Jinrong was in a good mood.
Seeing that the foraging behavior of himself and Douglas has attracted too many people's attention, Ji Jinrong decided to end the shopping date between the two, and go back to hug Douglas for a good sleep.
When the two were about to turn back, Douglas suddenly reached out and grabbed a thin palm that was reaching for his wallet.
Ji Jinrong was slightly surprised, and looked at the owner of that palm, wanting to see who was so short-sighted and wanted to steal Douglas's purse. After looking at it, Ji Jinrong was surprised to find that it was actually a short goblin.
Due to their small stature, goblins can easily move stealthily among crowds.
Ji Jinrong rescued the goblin's hand from Douglas, and asked with a smile: "Little friend, can't you see how strong the person you stole is? If you don't even have this bit of vision, you'd better change careers sooner."
The goblin snorted: "Isn't there a saying that 'everyone in love is a fool'? I don't think he loves you enough, otherwise why would he pay attention to his wallet!"
Ji Jinrong laughed. This little goblin is interesting! He glanced at Douglas and said, "Your words make sense, so I should thank you for helping me see him clearly."
The little goblin's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, yes, I'm helping you see him clearly! In order to thank me, you should let me go immediately!"
Ji Jinrong said: "You are smart enough at a young age, and you know how to sow discord." His hand was still holding the little goblin's wrist, and it seemed that he didn't need much strength, but the little goblin couldn't struggle.
The little goblin saw that the provocation was ineffective, and begged with dewy eyes: "I have to come out to steal things..."
Ji Jinrong said: "Because you have an eighty-year-old grandmother and a three-year-old little sister, and your parents are still seriously ill, waiting for you to bring back life-saving money?"
Little goblin: "..."
The prepared speeches have all been said, what should I do now!
Ji Jinrong directly lifted the little goblin back to where he was staying.
If they don't come here, he just wants to go to the goblins.
When they arrived at the hostel where they stayed, Ji Jinrong threw the little goblin to Owen. He said: "Since it is necessary to wipe out the lair of the demons, there is nothing more suitable as a guide than goblins. They are the most loyal servants of the demons!"
Hearing Ji Jinrong's words, the little goblin's eyes burst out with a strong hatred: "That's not it!"
The demons are cold-blooded and ruthless. In order to avoid catastrophe, the former demon king completely ignored their loyal service for so many years, and without blinking an eye, destroyed the underground palace where the goblins lived for three thousand years—
They hate demons more than anyone else!
That's why he stole from Douglas.
He didn't know how to approach this very famous Knight Commander of the Knights of Light.
Everyone said that this knight commander is the messenger of the God of Light, and he was born to exterminate the demons—over the years, tens of thousands of demons have died at the hands of this knight commander!
Since the previous Demon Lord passed away, the new Demon Lord has not appeared for a long time, and the Demon Race has since been torn apart and become a mess—this is a good opportunity for them to completely disappear from this world!
After discussing with the elder, the little goblin decided to find a way to meet Douglas—
He didn't expect that he would run into the knight leader who was "going shopping and dating" with Ji Jinrong—he had an idea, and immediately "approached" the knight leader in the way he was best at.
It turned out that the knight leader was stronger than he had imagined. Even though his eyes were glued to the person beside him, he still noticed his movements in an instant!
This is exactly the strong man they want to follow!
The little goblin's hatred of the demons was written all over his face.
Douglas immediately understood the little goblin's intentions. The goblins used to be servants of the demons and participated in the construction of the underground part of the Black Demon Temple. It would be great if they were willing to lead the way.
The hatred in this little goblin's eyes is definitely not fake—
Douglas looked at the little goblin.
The little goblin became serious: "Respected Sir Knight Commander, we elders would like to see you."
Ji Jinrong didn't participate in the next thing.
His identity is too sensitive, and he is not suitable to intervene in the affairs of the Knights of Light.
Besides, he also has his own affairs to deal with.
Ji Jinrong returned to his residence and let Pangpang out: "What happened?"
Pangpang's voice was serious: "Everyone in the Dark Night Adventure Team has been captured, and I have sent people to rescue them." Pangpang can appear in front of other people in a spiritual form in this world, and he is usually responsible for delivering the message for Ji Jinrong. Some important information and receive some key intelligence.
Ji Jinrong frowned.
Ji Jinrong said, "Who is the other party?"
Fatty was a little confused: "He is from the Orton Empire, about the same age as Douglas. I can feel that he seems to have a lot of hostility towards us."
Ji Jinrong raised his eyebrows: "What's your name?"
Fatty said, "It's called Lin Lun."
Ji Jinrong let out an "oh" and didn't say anything.
This is so curious and fat. As a straightforward bird, Pangpang flew around Ji Jinrong and asked, "Who is this Lin Lun? Do you know why he is targeting us?"
Ji Jinrong blinked his eyes, with a smile on his lips: "This guy, he might be my rival in love."
Lin Lun is a classmate of Douglas, and has the wonderful opportunity of "studying with Douglas" that Ji Jinrong regrettably missed.
But at that time Douglas had just been rescued from the Demon Race.
At that time, Douglas was out of tune with everything around him, and he even forgot most of the language of the Orton Empire. But he is not a soft and gentle boy, he has an iceberg face that is not close to others, so not many people dare to approach him.
At that time, Douglas was lonely and lonely.
If someone had stepped in at that time, Ji Jinrong was not sure whether Douglas would be moved by him. This Lin Lun appeared at that time, but although Lin Lun didn't avoid Douglas like everyone else, he didn't do anything good either.
I don't know if it was due to the mentality of the rebellious period. Although Lin Lun wanted to make friends with Douglas, he couldn't save face. Every time he talked to Douglas, he was a little arrogant.
Later, Lin Lun organized an event and called Douglas over. When Douglas arrived, what was waiting for him was a prank. Everyone mocked him, laughed at him, and finally left him alone.
At that time, Douglas' younger brother was just born, and the family was very busy. Although Douglas's mother loved Douglas, she didn't have time to take care of it too much.
Many people think that Douglas must have been abandoned by his family. After all, he has been captured by the demons for so long. Who knows if he will be brainwashed by the demons? For Douglas, who was destined to be unable to reach the same "height" as himself in the future, the noble children in the college naturally excluded him.
When Ji Jinrong knew this, he was both distressed and grateful.
What hurt Douglas was everything he had suffered. Fortunately, no one took the opportunity to walk into Douglas' heart—otherwise, even if he could snatch someone back, he wouldn't be as happy as he is now.
For this Lin Lun, Ji Jinrong could only feel sorry for him.
In any case, Douglas belonged to him only now!
Ji Jinrong's mood suddenly brightened. He said: "It will be fine, this is Quicksand City after all."
Compared with a young officer in the Orton Empire in his twenties, the Dark Night Adventure Team may have more face. They are old friends who have been supplying various potions for the auction house for a long time!
On the other hand, Lin Lun did not go well, because people from the Quicksand City patrol team came to ask him for someone.
Lin Lun's expression was indifferent but firm: "I will not let people go, they are demons!"
The deputy captain of the night adventure team who came with the patrol team snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Oh, God of Light, listen to what this guy is talking nonsense! He actually said that my team members are demons—you know How many missions to hunt demons have our dark night adventure team completed before we become an A-level adventure team?"
The patrol team also had a cold face: "Dear Mr. Lin Lun, do you have any evidence?"
Lin Lun said: "The hunting mission does not prove anything. It is not uncommon for human races to kill each other, isn't it? Maybe you are following the hunting mission to eliminate dissidents!"
The vice-captain said nonchalantly: "Then, please show the evidence. If you can't show it, you have violated the laws of Quicksand City, and you will be banned from entering the city forever."
Lin Lun said: "Of course there is evidence." He also snorted coldly and said to the patrolling guard, "Please follow me, I will show you the evidence!"
The deputy captain, Old God, followed Lin Lun to the place where the "Demon Race" was imprisoned.
His players looked a little miserable.
The vice-captain's nonchalant expression gradually faded away. He angrily said to the patrolling guard: "Look, this guy clearly abused the lynching of my team members! God, there are still such hateful guys who do such heinous deeds to their own kind !"
Lin Lun sneered and said, "Is it necessary to be tolerant towards the demons? I remember that Quicksand City once had goodwill towards the demons, allowing them to enter and leave Quicksand like other races, but they were almost slaughtered by the demons later. The demons will always be demons." Kindness to them will only lead to misfortune!"
The deputy captain said, "So, what about the evidence?"
Lin Lun said loudly: "Of course there is evidence!"
As soon as he clapped his hands, someone grabbed a few black-feathered birds and came over.
The vice-captain frowned, looking a little guilty, and didn't say a word.
Lin Lun saw it, and felt that what the demon soul said was true. The night adventure team that appeared out of nowhere was indeed a demon that had infiltrated the Orton Empire!
Lin Lun sneered and said, "Do you know this kind of thing?"
The deputy captain looked at Lin Lun in amazement.
Lin Lun said angrily, "What? I want to say you don't know him?"
The vice-captain smiled: "I'm just surprised that you would ask such a question, Commander Lin Lun. Who doesn't know that the night forest is the favorite place of our dark night adventure team! This black-feathered bird only grows in the night forest "He touched his chin, "I'm afraid it's not cheap to buy a black feather bird in Quicksand City, right? Commander Lin Lun is really rich, poor people like me envy you so much!"
Lin Lun said: "Don't change the subject!" He snorted coldly, "The blood of the black-feathered bird can make the demons pretend to be humans! This is why they can stay in the human territory for so long without showing their original shape!"
The deputy captain said: "So, where is the evidence?" He stepped forward, and Lin Lun felt an unspeakable sense of oppression with his tall stature, "Catching a bird and talking nonsense can slander others as demons? Then I am It’s not that you can be said to be a demon!”
Lin Lun said: "There are some demons imprisoned in Quicksand City, as long as the berserk demons drink the blood of the black-feathered bird, this can be proved!"
The deputy captain let out an "oh" and nodded suddenly: "So that's the case. But even if it proves that the blood of the black feather bird has such uses, it still doesn't prove that my team members are demons, right?"
Lin Lun snorted coldly: "If you are not demons, why do you catch so many black-feathered birds every time you go to the Night Forest! No one should issue a mission to catch such things!"
The deputy captain smiled and said: "Who said there is no? Do you remember that there is a famous dish in the emperor called bird soup?"
Lin Lun's heart skipped a beat.
The deputy captain said: "Hundred bird soup tastes sweet and is very popular in Huang. Our captain is very familiar with the owner of Mu Mu restaurant and has been providing them with raw materials. Does Commander Lin Lun know what the raw materials are?"
Lin Lun had a bad premonition in his heart.
The vice-captain said: "It takes a hundred black-feathered birds to cook a small pot of bird soup." He laughed, showing the standard eight teeth, "In addition to bird soup, we also provide many A special ingredient that is very popular among nobles—hasn’t Commander Lin Lun tasted it?”
Twilight Restaurant, a place highly sought after by the nobles of the Orton Empire, is full of poetic romance and unforgettable delicacy. Every time a new dish is announced, it will be pre-ordered in advance, and others can only imagine their deliciousness from the people who have successfully pre-ordered!
Lin Lun's background is not low, so he is naturally qualified to step into the Mu Mu restaurant. Although the fees there were so expensive that it made him feel distressed, but when he received his salary for the first time, he still took his mother to have a meal to celebrate!
In fact, from this point, we can see how popular Mu Mu Restaurant is.
Lin Lun suddenly realized that he seemed to have stepped into a trap.
The deputy captain knew at a glance that Lin Lun's momentum had weakened.
He chased after him fiercely: "Facts have proved that your evidence is completely useless." The deputy captain's eyes became sharper, "Should you release our people now?"
Lin Lun murmured, "You—"
At this time, a tall figure appeared at the door of the "Private Prison".
Lin Lun was overjoyed.
He said, "Douglas!"
When Douglas received the news, he was instructing Owen to talk to the goblin elders. Hearing that Lin Lun had captured the members of the Dark Night Adventure Team, Douglas frowned.
He rushed over almost without thinking.
Douglas knew Lin Lun liked him.
This noble young master must have heard about his relationship with Ji Jinrong, and deliberately made things difficult for the members of the Dark Night Adventure Team!
Douglas felt obliged to resolve the trouble.
When the deputy captain saw Douglas coming, his heart beat uncontrollably a few times. Lin Lun is an ignorant noble young master, it is easy to fool him, but Douglas is different.
Douglas has dealt with the demons too many times, enough for him to understand all the habits of the demons. If Douglas finds the flaw—
Thinking of his captain's situation, the deputy captain's face inevitably became a little anxious.
Douglas had been paying attention to this member of Ji Jinrong's adventure team, and when he saw the expression on the vice-captain's face, doubts flashed in his heart. He looked at Lin Lun: "What's going on?"
Lin Lun seemed to have found the backbone, and instantly no longer doubted his own judgment. He skipped over the matter of the crystal ball, and said that he knew the secret of the black feather bird and asked the demons to test it, his eyes became extremely firm: "Douglas, you have to believe me, the core members of their dark night adventure team are all It's the Demon Race!"
Douglas' eyes fell on Lin Lun's face.
He knows his classmate, he is not a person who can tell lies, he speaks so seriously and firmly, it must be because he really believes that what he said is the truth.
Douglas directly found out what was omitted from Lin Lun's words: "Who told you all this?"
Lin Lun felt guilty. But he thought that he was doing Douglas good, exposing that bad guy who deliberately approached Douglas with malicious intentions!
Lin Lun said: "Our family naturally has its own source of information. I can't tell you this! Douglas, think about it, that Gary who suddenly appeared to seduce you and begged for nothing to follow you to destroy the demons must be with reason-"
The deputy captain's heart was pounding, and he wanted to step forward and gag Lin Lun's mouth.
He interrupted Lin Lun: "I think you are jealous! Jealous that our captain can get the love of the knight leader!"
Lin Lun's face turned blue and white. He said: "You jumped out in such a hurry because you have a guilty conscience! Your idea was hit by me!" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was correct, "Douglas, they must be trying to trick our actions Route, set a trap in the demon territory and wait for us! This matter must be investigated! It is best to control the people of the night adventure team!"
The vice-captain looked at Douglas.
After entering the door, Douglas didn't ask him a word, only the little nobleman. He felt sorry for his captain in his heart, no wonder the captain didn't confess to the knight commander—even now, their weight in Douglas' heart was still so light.
Douglas' gaze also turned to the vice-captain.
He paused, and said to Lin Lun lightly, "Let him go."
Lin Lun was slightly surprised.
The vice-captain was also surprised.
Douglas didn't say another sentence.
Lin Lun could only obediently let the members of the Dark Night Adventure Team be released.
Douglas glanced at the vice-captain: "Let's take them away."
The vice-captain wanted to say something, but in the end he stepped forward to support a few team members and asked them if they could walk by themselves. Seeing Douglas' attitude, several team members struggled to stand up and stood behind the vice-captain.
The deputy captain said to Douglas: "Thank you." After speaking, he led the people out.
The moment they walked out of the gate, a big scarlet bird descended from the sky, threw them on its back, and flew into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, sharp arrows shot out from the door like a rainstorm!
If Vermilion Bird had come later, they would have been killed by the arrows!
The deputy captain was shocked: "What's going on?!"
Fatty's voice came to their minds: "You have revealed your secrets."
The deputy captain didn't understand where the trap was exposed.
Fatty said: "Because you have a guilty conscience, you don't behave like a person who has been wronged at all—you should just ask that Lin Lun for the injury of the team members as you did at the beginning, instead of holding a guilty conscience. People leave. So you shouldn't be allowed to go, you can only fool that fool, you can't fool Douglas."
The deputy captain said: "Then we—"
Fatty sighed and said, "The others have already evacuated from Quicksand City."
The deputy captain thought of Ji Jinrong, and he blamed himself: "The captain must be very sad." When they were with Douglas, their captain looked so happy.
Pangpang was quiet.
After a long time, its voice sounded again: "He said, he won't leave."
