Chapter 1053: Achilles is wounded

After a day of weirdness, we left the dungeon and headed home.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a staff member from the Adventurer's Base running to me and handing me a letter.

In order to dispel the jealousy that Phoenix and the others had not yet resolved, I opened the envelope in front of them and spread the letter paper on the table.

Only a few numbers were written on the letter: Achilles came back with the second young master, Achilles was wounded, the second young master was in a coma, and the rest of the entourage had been confirmed to be dead.

When he finished reading this sentence, the hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone who was still giggling and laughing shut down one after another, with a surprised expression on their facesβ€”except for Taylor, the old man was still sitting and drinking, as if nothing in the world was as important as the fuchsia elixir in the bottle in his hand.

After a little silence, Cagalli was the first to speak: "Achilles mentioned above...... It's the one you met before, right? ”

I said 'um': "That's him." ”

Cagalli's eyes were full of disbelief: "Such a strong guy...... ...... would have hurt you."

I said lightly: "The Zephyr Continent is too big, there are many things that we have never heard of, and there are many of them that are so strong that they are against the sky, maybe Achilles and they just happened to encounter some of them." ”

Lirea suddenly approached me and asked, "Xiao Yi, do you know where Achilles and they went before?" ”

I nodded, "Yes, it's the forest between Ari and Yorkhan." ”

"The forest between Eri City and Yorkhan ......" Lirea tapped her lips with her fingers, thought for a moment, and said, "Oh...... I remember, it is said that there are monsters in that forest, which is very dangerous, and very few people will choose to break into it, what are the second young master and Achilles going there to do? ”

The phoenix, leaning close to my left arm, bit her lip as if to say something.

I turned to her and said, "Phoenix, do you have anything to say?" ”

Phoenix nodded.

"What?"

Phoenix whispered, "I'm hungry, can I cook first?" ”

This sentence directly ruined the solemn atmosphere of the hall, Yura gently shook off her magic robe, and said with a smile: "Well said, in fact, I am also hungry, but I just endured it because I didn't want to disturb the serious atmosphere that everyone was brewing." ”

At this moment, the proprietress and her party returned, and the people gathered around the coffee table dispersed in a hurry, and they went to their own business, and the serious atmosphere in the hall completely collapsed.

At the coffee table, it was just me and Princess Anarita, who was sitting opposite, and I asked Analita, "Princess, what do you think of this news?" ”

Princess Anarita was rummaging through the letter back and forth, and when she saw that there was no more writing, she threw it on the coffee table, thought about it with her arms, and said: "I don't have any special thoughts about this news, although that Achilles is the squire of the legendary hero, and is described in historical documents as very powerful, but it is far from the strongest, as long as it is not the strongest, there will definitely be something that can hurt him, defeat him, and even kill him, but these things are rarely seen in our lives." ”

I pinched my chin and nodded repeatedly: "It makes sense, it is worthy of being a princess, and the idea is to be meticulous." ”

Princess Anarytta looked at me with a disgusted expression.

I:?

Analita said, "Why do I feel like you're burying me?" ”

"Is there one?" I spread my hands innocently: "I'm not burying you, I'm complimenting you." ”

Ananrita leaned forward, leaned close to me, stared carefully into my eyes, and asked, "Really?" ”

I leaned forward slightly and looked at her seriously: "Really." ”

Coldly, in front of my eyes, something was inserted, blocking the gaze of Princess Anarieta and me.

I fixed my eyes and looked over at the hand holding the book, a round-faced girl with a displeased expression was glaring at me fiercely, and on both sides of her head, a pair of cute triangular ears with fluffy ears upside down, it was Barbara, she was angry, and at the same time jealous.

I laughed, took the book down, put it on the coffee table, and took Barbara's hand to pull her to sit down beside her, reaching out and tapping the tip of her nose: "What's wrong, you look angry?" ”

Barbara turned her face arrogantly: "Hmph! ”

While 'humming', she hugged her hands in her arms, and she looked like a proprietress who was several years younger.

I was so amused by her arrogant little appearance that I almost laughed, and reached out to rub her short hair: "Barbara, don't be angry~"

"Humph!" Barbara continued to be tsundere.

Princess Anarita, who was sitting across from her, burst out laughing.

Barbara's cat-eyed eyes glared at her instantly, and she let out a heavy 'hum' again.

I glanced at the coffee table, and the book Barbara had just been holding was a storybook about legendary heroic deeds.

Picking up the storybook and flipping through a few pages, the words on it were almost recognizable, I asked Barbara, "Do you want to listen to the story?" ”

Barbara turned her face to glare at me for a moment, then nodded slightly.

I cleared my throat, opened the book, and began to speak in a colorful voice.

The content of the story is actually quite routine, that is, the legendary hero was miserable when he was a child, but he was gifted, and he had a fighting talent that was different from ordinary people, after a hard and difficult training, the legendary hero finally grew up and became quite awesome, just at that time, the dungeon monsters rioted, broke through the portal of the dungeon, and came to the Zephyr Continent, all kinds of burning, killing and plundering, all kinds of evil; At this time, the legendary hero who was already quite awesome appeared, and the monsters in the town were wiped out cleanly, and under his leadership, the Zephyr Continent began to win one by one, destroying the monsters that broke out of the dungeon one by one, during which he also gained love because he saved a beautiful girl; At the end of the story, in the face of the powerful final boss, the legendary hero was hit quite hard, and at the last moment, the beautiful girl used her body to block the monster's fatal blow, and Xiang Xiaoyu died, and the legendary hero turned grief into strength and killed the boss at once; Killing the boss was supposed to be a very happy thing, but because of the girl's death, the legendary hero fell into deep pain.

In fact, I think that if the story comes here, it may be a very good ending, after all, tragedy is far deeper than comedy, however, the person who compiled this story is a glass heart, and he added another paragraph - the girl who was already dead and transparent was resurrected under the power of the God of Creation, and then, everyone was very happy!

When I read the last word of the story, my expression was confused and my mood was broken.
