Chapter 1694: Leah's request

Views:

Before Hao Ren could finish his sentence, Shadow Arrow, who was covered in a face by the weak chicken, was in a hurry for a moment even though the damage was basically zero, and then the two "people" looked at each other like this.

Two seconds later, the little weak chicken opened his hands in a threatening manner: "Scare—"

Vivian pulled the little thing off her shoulders, grabbed it and stared at it in front of her eyes: "Why did you follow?!"

"Shhh—"

"Ask her, how would she know?" Hao Ren recovered from his astonishment at this moment, and looked at this little thing that was supposed to be left in the watch world and handed over to the goddess sister with surprise, " Instead of handing her over to Raven 12345... "

As soon as he mentioned the word Raven 12345, the little guy immediately uttered a shrill and thin scream, turned over and hugged Vivienne's thumb and curled up tremblingly, as if frightened look like.

"Could it be that you sneaked out after you left from the Goddess?" Vivienne asked in a low voice, "But that's not right, where has she been hiding all the way, and we don't know anything about it?" I didn't find it... ”

Hao Ren took a sneak peek at Leah, who was looking at her curiously at this moment, obviously very curious about this little guy who could move and bark and had exactly the same appearance as Vivian, but out of politeness, she Didn't interrupt—but she always wanted to ask.

"Didn't you notice it?" Hao Ren asked Vivienne in a low voice, "She was standing on your shoulder just now. If it's not wrong, she should have been hiding on your body before."

Vivian shook her head: "Not at all... eh?"

She looked at her hand in surprise: the little weak chicken who had been holding her thumb and trembling from just now seemed to feel that it still didn't feel safe enough, so she shrank even more into her palm, and with this movement, the little one His body unexpectedly became illusory little by little, and quickly turned into a hazy cloud of mist, just like the blood mist that Vivian usually summoned melted into the latter's arm.

Lily blinked her eyes: "Uh... bat, did you eat her just now?"

"No!" Vivian immediately stared at the husky girl, "Can you stop thinking about eating! She seems to have melted into my body..."

"Can you feel her presence now?" Hao Ren asked curiously.

"It seems that I have a vague feeling like this," Vivienne said uncertainly, "So it's because I felt a little strange about my body... It seems that this guy followed me all the way."

Hao Ren was dumbfounded: "... just to avoid being locked up next to Raven 12345 and eating noodles, did you actually force a new skill?"

At this moment, Leah finally couldn't hold back her curiosity, and broke the silence with a loud voice: "Ahem, let me ask... Is this lady a psychic? But the spirit you summoned looks a little strange , you specially shaped it like this?"

Hao Ren was having a headache on how to explain the existence of the little weak chicken. After hearing Liya's words, he immediately found a way. There is such a chicken, but this is more or less a way to explain, so I nodded quickly: "Yes, she is a psychic, but her inheritance seems to be different from that of a normal psychic, and it is not easy to inquire about it anyway. , in short, the spirit body she summoned is like this."

"Eh..." Liya didn't know what she thought of, anyway, when she looked at Vivienne again, her eyes became weird, and she even slightly retreated half of her body, "Shaping the summoned spirit body into her own Looks... ahaha, although I heard that many ancient wizards and psychics have some eccentricities, but... hehe, hehe, it's pretty good, it's still pretty good."

Seeing Liya's reaction, Vivian couldn't help frowning: "I always feel like you misunderstood something."

"Ah no, it's nothing, I shouldn't comment on other people's inheritance and hobbies, after all, it doesn't affect our employment relationship," Liya waved her hand quickly, and stopped the topic abruptly, "Then we Let’s continue to introduce each other. According to the general rules, first of all, you who are mercenaries—of course I know you are adventurers, but since you have accepted the commission, let’s count them as mercenaries for the time being—introduce yourself first.”

Hao Ren originally planned to find an opportunity for Doudou to come out to get some air and meet Liya, but now it seems that it is quite difficult to just explain a weak chicken, so he temporarily suppressed this idea and prepared to wait. Learn more about the world and find a suitable opportunity before letting the baby fish come out. Anyway, he has prepared a very comfortable environment for Doudou in the portable space, a huge sink, a fully enclosed and highly realistic environment simulator, and various toys to play with her, little guy It won't be boring to stay in it for a long time-at least throw the data terminal in as a sacrifice every now and then...

After making a decision, he revealed the identities that his group had discussed before: "My name is Hao Ren, and I am good at dual swords and long spears. I can be regarded as a warrior with complicated skills; But there are also some side-to-side spells; Lily, as you can see, a werewolf giant swordsman; these two are brothers and sisters Nangong Sanba and Nangong Wuyue, the former is good at spells and rune spells, and the latter is our healer; This big man is called Yzaks, a warrior, and this is his daughter Elizabeth, a fire magician... Seriously, this is really his daughter!"

These identities are all fabricated based on the intelligence collected by the probes in the city, and there are some ambiguities, which are also in line with the identity of the adventurer: although adventurers and mercenaries are often easily confused, in fact There is still a big difference. Adventurers usually move freely, lack organization and are not bound by many mercenary rules. Although they often work in mercenary unions, they are more for the purpose of issuing commissions or reselling some information and materials. Surviving in such an environment, adventurers usually do not have such obvious occupational boundaries, basically they will master some of the skills that are useful; while mercenaries have higher organization and discipline, and most of them belong to a certain Larger teams have a significant division of occupational positioning for team action, accept the management of the mercenary union, and pay more attention to reputation and team honor.

That's why Leah was so concerned about whether Hao Ren and his party belonged to adventurers, mercenaries, or black households: Of course, mercenaries are the first choice for hired helpers. After all, there is a rule restricting them. In order to survive in this business for a long time, they are usually more reliable. ;The next level also needs to find adventurers. Although they are not registered with the union, they have great uncertainty, but anyway, adventurers have to be open in the market, and they have to deal with other organizations. They get support from the mercenary union, so they will pay more attention to the contract; black households are the choice that must be avoided as much as possible. They are dangerous elements who have major misdeeds—such as killing the employer—and have their licenses revoked by the mercenary union. Staying in various prisons, and those guys who have been released after serving their sentence or have not been sanctioned by the law for various reasons are nine out of law lunatics, and only a down-and-out guy like Liya who is fearless and fearless Include black households in your employment targets...

"Hao Ren... Vivian..." Leah repeated the names of the group of people in front of her one by one. Some of the names sounded weird to her, but this is White Maple Leaf City, and people of all races from all over the world will know each other. Gathering here, there are many foreigners from remote areas or even from the opposite side of the "Golden Sea". No matter how strange the name is, it is not uncommon. In the end, her eyes fell on the cat lady who was sitting on the opposite side of the table and taking a nap. , "Hey? Why didn't you introduce her?"

"This..." Hao Ren coughed twice, "Her name is Roll, and she is a shadow assassin."

Although there is no need to worry about Leah's reaction if it is directly transliterated, it really feels weird when the unlucky name of Cat Girl is mentioned in front of strangers.

I might as well have named her Hello Kitty.

"Miss roll?" Because it was a transliteration, Liya didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and repeated it very seriously, "The name of the single character... is a practitioner from the country of fog? I yearn for your hometown very much Oh, that's the most mysterious place in Laherien."

Vivian coughed dryly twice: "Ahem, Miss Liya, we've finished talking about our business, shouldn't it be time to talk about you?"

"My name is Leah, I don't have a surname, because a great magician doesn't need those things, and having a name is enough to be passed down through the ages!" Leah regained her spirit, even stood up from the table, patted her chest, "As you can see, I am a senior scholar and magician—and most likely the last wise person in the entire White Maple Leaf City!"

Hao Ren and his friends: "Oh..."

Everyone in the circle reacted blankly, even Liya, who had a flamboyant personality, realized that she was jumping a little too much in front of strangers, so she smiled awkwardly and sat down again: "Ahem, all in all, I'm an academic You are also a mage of the practical school, and by the way, I am also a scholar who studies ancient civilizations and historical legends. I am looking for you, mainly for this aspect-recently I found a clue of an ancient ruin in the literature. The location of this ruin is right. It’s a little troublesome for me. Of course, I’m quite capable in combat. I often go to Changfeng Ridge to fight lions and tigers when I’m practicing. But if you’re going to explore the ruins, it’s better to find some helpers. You don't have to worry about money, although I seem to be a little poor, but mages, no matter how poor they are, they are still rich. I will pay the price of ordinary caravan guards... No, double the price on this basis, how come Sample?"

Of course, Hao Ren didn't understand the price, so he pretended to think about it and nodded, "It's easy to talk about the price, but now I want to know more about the ruin you mentioned... where is it?"

A fake smile appeared on Liya's face: "Ahaha, it's actually not that dangerous, it's within Changfeng Ridge, but it's a little... closer to the underground, and it's a little connected to the big tunnel... So a little bit. Of course, you don’t have to worry, according to the information I have, the ruins are just next to the big tunnel, and you don’t need to go in…”
