The sea monster's words made both Yoi and Baggins look surprised. The two of them were well aware of the retired adventurer's abilities. Although he was a bit old, seriously injured, and less than half of his strength, there were only two or three adventurers who could win him in the entire Black Man City, including Youyi's parents.

Baggins knows the character of the sea monster, and under the quiet and even somewhat terrifying appearance, he still wraps the pride of warriors and rangers, and is a person who has a lot to say and never says kind words. Since he said that these two girls are strong, then they must be strong......

After opening his door to business for so many years, Baggins is also well-informed, and naturally understands the truth that people should not be disguised. Although he was surprised, he was not shocked, but his tone was involuntarily polite: "Will the two of you think the hall is too noisy?" There are also some quiet private rooms on the second floor......"

"Not really." Nanoka shook her head and refused: "The teacher said that once a person is separated from the public environment and makes himself high, it is the beginning of depravity. We're adventurers in the Black Forest now, so we're going to have to do as the locals do, don't you think? Fett? ”

"It's good that you decide." Fett smiled, seemingly without a single opinion.

"So be it." Nanoka sat down at the bar with Fett's hand, "Mr. Baggins, bring us something to eat, don't bother too much, as long as it's hot enough to fill your stomach." After several days of traveling, I was really hungry. ”

"Don't worry, it's already been arranged." Baggins nodded, and then said to the little girl who was still stunned on the side: "Youyi, Youyi, go and see if your parents are back?" ”

"Oh, okay." The little girl woke up like a dream, and hurriedly ran away with a big basket.

"Who is that girl?" Maybe it was too boring to wait for the food to be served, so Nanoka asked casually.

"Oh, that child's name is Yoi, and it's the daughter of Mr. Kirit and Lady Asuna."

"Huh? What a coincidence! Nanoka opened her mouth in some surprise: "You mean, that's their daughter?" I thought Mr. Killitt and Mrs. Asuna weren't very old, but I didn't expect to have such a big daughter. ”

"Well, in fact, they're not that old!" Baggins Road.

Not to mention how the halfling boss explained this to the two curious girls, Youyi had already left the hotel with the basket, and after a block, she could see the roof of her family's attic full of creepers.

But Yuyi soon had to stop.

A procession of heavily armed riders, marching slowly down the street where little girls must pass, attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

"Uncle Carter, where did these knights come from?" You Yi asked to a familiar onlooker next to him.

"What a knight!" The onlookers laughed and said, "Little Youyi, that's just a mercenary!" Don't you see the flag they are flying? There's also the Mercenary Guild's logo on it. ”

"Mercenaries? It's the first time I've seen it, huh...... See such a mercenary. You Yi thought about it for a while, and finally found an adjective that was quite appropriate.

"Well, I heard that the big mercenary group is from Neosfia, the Radiant Mercenary Group?" The passer-by squinted his eyes and recognized the words on the flag, and said with a disturbed head: "Well, this name is too bright and magnificent, but it is really unimaginative." Maybe that's what a rich mercenary looks like. ”

"Such a coincidence? Neosfia again? The little girl stood still, waiting for the procession of riders to stride in front of her. Her bewildered expression lasted until the rider at the end of the line disappeared from the corner of the street, and then she woke up from a dream and hurried home. …,

After such a long delay, will the stew on the pot really burn?

The little girl's motor nerves didn't seem to be very developed, and if she didn't pay attention, her steps began to mix garlic, and her body suddenly lost her balance and involuntarily leaned forward.

Yes! To welcome the pies and sweets that Mom and Dad bought!

Jhoi struggled to reach for the basket that had fallen out, but only touched the corners of the basket, and the pies, cakes, and glass bottles containing the drink were all thrown out of the basket. She couldn't keep her balance on her own, her vision getting closer and closer to the ground, and she was about to pounce.

Woo, pies and pastries......

The little girl was still sad when she suddenly felt a steady arm grab the collar at the back of her neck. With a slight force, the body involuntarily straightened, and finally did not fall under the table. At the same moment, a green-haired girl appeared in his sight, and the basket was grabbed by the flying hand, and then a dazzling acrobatic performance followed.

The girl took the basket and waved it, grabbed the pie, and then sent it forward, just as the top of the cake was facing down, so that it fell into the basket. Then, she leaned forward, grabbed the lemonade with her outstretched left hand and tossed it into the basket. Then with another small sliding step, his newly free left hand grabbed one of the other bottles of cider wine. The last bottle of fruit wine was about to hit the ground, and the girl simply stretched out her right foot, and the bottle stood firmly on the back of her boot.

The above set of actions was completed in one second, and the little girl's things were not lost at all. She was stunned for about five seconds before she reacted and thanked someone: "Thank you, thank you!" Big sister. ”

The green-haired girl was expressionless, but a slight flush appeared on her face, and she put everything in the basket and handed it to the little girl without saying a word.

The little girl took the basket and thanked her, then turned back and said to the black-haired young man who grabbed her by the collar, "Thank you for saving me, well, it should be, sister, right?" ”

A hint of embarrassment flashed on the black-haired young man's face, but then it turned into a wry smile, shook his head slightly, and said with a pleasant face: "Little sister, you must be careful when walking in the future." ”

The young man smiled kindly at the little girl, and walked away with the green-haired girl. Only then did You Yi realize that there were five or six other people along the way, all dressed as heavily armed adventurers, including men, women, and even minotaurs.

Probably a new adventurer, right? Well, they all seem to be good people. Sure enough, a team of kind adventurers like Mom and Dad and Mr. Donte are still there...... Yes! Stew!

Xiao Youyi took another step and ran home as fast as he could. She knew that if she was one step late, the main course of dinner that she had carefully prepared for her parents would really have to go to feed the dog! Fortunately, the little girl's concerns did not come true, and when she ran home, there were already two more familiar figures in the cottage of the family of three.

"Daddy! Mom! The little girl let out a cheerful cry.

Of course, Lu Xi naturally didn't take this little episode to heart, let alone know that the little girl he saved had already sent him a card. As he continued to advance towards his foothold under the leadership of Captain Grimmar, he was also keeping an eye on the group of heavily armed "mercenary troops" who rode through the city on tall horses.

"Do you think that's like a mercenary group?" Lu Xi asked the middle-aged officer in front of him who should be particularly knowledgeable at first glance.

Grima didn't answer, but looked at Lu Xi with interest, and asked with a smile: "You seem to have your own judgment, why bother asking me?" ”

Lu Xi couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

The team exceeded forty horsemen, and the mounts under the crotch looked like a thousand-selected high-quality war horse, with a strong and strong posture. Their cloaks and coats were of fine stitching, warmth and durability, and although they were chosen in inconspicuous shades of grey, it was impossible for the weavers and materials to be hidden from connoisseurs. Although the best armor is hidden under the thick outer robes, the reflection of scales and claws is occasionally exposed. Such an unprofessional cover-up is even more dazzling in the eyes of those who have a heart. …,

"I know that Neosfia's large mercenary group is very rich, and world-famous mercenary groups like the Second Son Regiment, Wolf Fang, and Fire Kiss will never fall behind even if they fight against the Praetorian Guards of the Three Great Powers. But...... A mercenary is a mercenary. I would never believe that the mercenaries' equipment would be so shiny, and I would never believe that the mercenaries' virtues would be more arrogant than the knights'. ”

A flash of approval flashed in Grimmar's eyes, "You're right. I can also confirm that although these people are under the banner of a mercenary group, they are definitely a knight under the command of a certain big lord or even the royal family. ”

"However, at this time of year, why are so many knights entering Black Man City under the banner of mercenaries?"

Grimmar groaned slightly, and then said, "Well...... In fact, some time ago, there were some rumors circulating in the city, which attracted a large number of mercenaries and adventurers. Therefore, it is not surprising to me that some knights, or even some armed priests of the church, came...... Although this rumor has nothing to do with our mission, it does increase our workload a lot. ”

Lu Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Indeed, the more people there are, the more difficult it is for us to lock on to the target." ”

"So, the arrival of the magician sent by the central government really relieved us...... Well, we're almost there, and I'll explain it to you slowly. ”

Lu Xi followed Captain Grimmar's gaze and happened to see a hotel sign opposite that was swaying with the cold wind of early winter.

"We're going to settle down here?" Lu Xi frowned slightly.

"This is one of the most famous adventurer hotels in Blackman, and it's a great place to gather intelligence." Grimmar smiled slightly, "His price is also very affordable, just right for our team of foreign, middle-class adventurers. ”

Lu Xi couldn't help but be happy. At this time, the hotel signboard that was blown around by the wind just shook back, just in time to send the words on it to his eyes.

"Donkey Flag Hotel? Why does the name of this hotel feel so demonic? "Ps: Thank you for the big reward, it took me a few more days to react...... Again, this must be something wrong. Thank you again for the lazy Ying Long, you are so enthusiastic. I will definitely live up to everyone's Mipa!
