Chapter 425: A Chance Encounter
It's useless to think too much, and if you want to be domineering in the dungeon, you have to look at your strength. (8) (1) Chinese Network ".%81.
So, I started the road of serious monster farming again.
After clearing a few more mobs, I took a breath and rested against the rocks, thinking about it, and I didn't meet a single acquaintance along the way.
Normally, Harold and the others shouldn't be overworked, but even if they do, they won't even meet a familiar person, right......? Their guild is also repairing?
And it's an overhaul?
Thinking of this, I nodded: Well, it's very possible, it's okay to fix it, sort it out, clean up, clean up, and have a good environment, so you will have a good mood.
Thinking about it like this, I was relieved.
After a few more round-trips, I found the way I came, and I guessed that it should be afternoon, so I packed up my things and walked on the way back.
Approaching the portal, I suddenly heard someone calling me behind me, and turned my head to look: Yo, coincidentally, it turned out to be Su Tengbo.
I stopped, waited for him, and when he got closer, I said, "You're farming on this level too?" ”
Su Tengbo was stunned for a moment, didn't understand what I meant, and continued: "I'm still wondering, why haven't I met a single acquaintance today, and we may have taken a fork in the road." ”
Su Tengbo smiled and said, "That's natural, the nineteenth floor is many times larger than the previous space, and it's normal to take different paths." ”
I looked at the people who were following him and said, "What about Harold and their people?" Didn't you farm with you today? ”
Su Tengbo shook his head: "No, Harold seems to have something to do today." ”
"Oh......" I nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly gossiped, "Could it be a private matter?" ”
"What do you mean by private matter?"
"It's the problem of his other half," I said, "Did you finally stand the loneliness and go on a blind date?" ”
Su Tengbo shook his head and affirmed: "No, this kind of blind date is impossible for anyone else, but in Harold, it is absolutely impossible." ”
I was taken aback: "I'll go, is he a bent man?" ”
"Bent man?" Su Tengbo looked dazed: "What is a bent man?" ”
I leaned into his ear and whispered, "Oh...... It's the kind of person who has a love for people of the same sex......"
"What are you talking about!" Before he could finish listening, Su Tengbo directly interrupted me and said with a smile: "Harold's orientation is very normal. ”
"Oh, it's not because of this kind of thing," I said, spreading my hands, looking disappointed.
Su Tengbo looked me up and down, frowned slightly, and said, "I really thought that An Xiaoyi, you actually have such a hobby?" ”
I was shocked: "What hobby?" ”
"It's a hobby of asking about other people's gossip," Su Tengbo shook his head: "I thought you weren't interested in other people's gossip." ”
I cut it and said disdainfully: "Curiosity is shared by everyone, regardless of gender. ”
Su Tengbo didn't defend himself, just sighed, and entered the portal side by side with me.
For the next few floors, neither of us spoke, he didn't speak, I don't know why, but I didn't speak, but I didn't speak because I felt like I didn't have anything in common with him to talk about.
When I passed by the twelfth floor, I saw Rodney fighting monsters again, but this time, he didn't notice what I was passing by, and he didn't say hello.
When I saw Rodney, I suddenly remembered something about the person who had assassinated me before, so I turned my head and beckoned to Su Tengbo.
Su Tengbo leaned closer, and I said, "Let me ask you something, have you found out the results of the person who assassinated me before?" ”
Su Tengbo's body stiffened, and he said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "This...... It was a bit difficult, and although I checked all his family and friends, I still couldn't find any useful information. ”
"Oh," I nodded thoughtfully.
Actually, I didn't have any hope for this from the beginning, and I just wanted to find out if he was interested in me, and at the same time, to find out if he was persecuting me.
However, through this short conversation, I understood his thoughts: this person either did not investigate, or deliberately concealed something from me, in short, he will only be harmful to me, not beneficial, can be farther, as far away as possible, to save any trouble in the future.
After making up my mind, I shut up, and the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence again.
Soon, out of the dungeon gate, I said goodbye to Su Tengbo and walked slowly towards home.
Passing by Harold's guild in the middle, I habitually looked in twice, I didn't know the two people guarding the door, and I didn't have anything to look for him, so I directly saved the trouble of tongue and continued to swagger home.
As I passed by Old Patch's weapons shop, I knocked twice on the door, and Old Patch's shrill voice came from inside: "Please come in." ”
Pushing open the door and walking in, Old Patch was cutting materials, and I could see from a distance that it was my ghost-faced spider skin, and I smiled and said, "Are you busy, expert?" ”
Seeing that it was me, Old Patch put down the scissors in his hand and said, "Why are you free to come here today?" ”
I spread my hands: "It's nothing, it's just a casual stroll, and I happened to pass by here, so I came in and had a look." ”
Hearing what I said, Old Patch laughed and said, "You kid, you're really straightforward, aren't you afraid of hurting my pride and won't sew clothes for you?" ”
"This won't be," I flattered, "your old man has such a good reputation, and it has nothing to do with this shameless thing at all, so I'll leave it to you, I'm relieved." ”
"I can talk" Old Patch smiled like a chrysanthemum, he touched the sparse beard on his chin with satisfaction, and said, "Well, there is progress, very progress!" ”
I really wanted to put a big shoe print on his slewd smiling face, so that he would know how thick his face really was.
But I can't do this, in case he touches me and loses money, it won't be worth the loss.
I resisted the urge to stomp on his face, and a humble smile of thanks broke out on my face.
After the pleasantries, Old Patch continued to cut his clothes, and I sat in a chair on one side, staring at the door and window.
There were a lot of people outside, many of them adventurers returning home, and occasionally, I could see a familiar face or two, but I forgot when and where I saw them, just to feel familiar.
Just as I was staying, Old Patch suddenly spoke: "Xiao Yi, I saw that high-ranking official today. ”
"Well, what kind of high-ranking official?" I said casually.
"That's what you call him... Ha... Huh, what's that? ”
"Harold?" I hurriedly turned my head to look at Old Patch, and said with surprise in my eyes, "Where did you see him?" ”
