"Don't do anything stupid!" The moment the noodles flew out, Barrett stretched out his big hand and grabbed directly at the halfling in the air. The tall size and extraordinary weight made the moment Barrett stood up to save people, the entire crescent moon ship became swaying.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, move a little smaller, move a little smaller!" John gripped the oars in his hand, struggling to keep the boat steady. The light and fast Crescent ship has a agility that most ships can't match, but it deviates from stability - much like a fighter jet.
Sensing that his actions seemed to be in danger of capsizing the ship, Barrett immediately lunged Zama to adjust his weight. Fortunately, the movements of his hands were not slow, and he finally grabbed the other party's belt before the noodles fell into the water.
"Bump!" The noodles that were grabbed by the belt immediately turned into an upside-down onion under the action of inertia, and his round head hit the side of the boat directly. Seeing this, Barrett rejoiced in his heart: 'Fortunately, this guy is small! If he were a normal person, his head would be stuck in the water by now. ’
Carefully lifting the noodles, which had become star-blushing from the impact, Barrett slowly sat back down in his original position while holding his center of gravity so as not to affect the state of the crescent ship. Immediately threw the unconscious creature on the floor of the cabin. It seems to have figured out that guò's damp floor made the noodle guy sober up a bit.
Barrett, who had completed this rescue operation, finally had time to deal with the other unstable dìng factor at this time. He stared at the mage beside him in unusually angry anger, and roared in an almost roaring voice, "Rieli! As a lady, can you not come out of your mouth such vulgar words. Is it true that married women are so taboo in this regard? Normally you can be noisy, but you went too far today. This kind of thing may leave a permanent shadow in Noodle's heart. If it affects the life of noodles after that, aren't you afraid that he will find you desperate in reality? ”
Rielly glanced at the noodles lying in the cabin with some disdain, "If it's a man who can't even face this blow." In reality, I'm really not afraid that he will find me desperately. Even if I sue him for his address, will he really dare to come? And it's just that one aspect of the game's characters isn't as good as it could be! It's not that he also has that kind of problem in reality. If you can't even see this, I think it's better to let him go through a few more blows sooner. lest we encounter setbacks in reality and create the situation we have today. At that time, it was really a hundred. ”
Although Barrett can't deny that there is some truth in Rieley's words, it is too simple and crude for someone to do it! This kind of tiger and wolf medicine may be symptomatic, but it is easy to kill people by mistake!
Seeing that Rielly was still that right, Barrett could only shake his head and sigh: "But Rielly, don't you think your excitement is a little too much?" I don't think you're a licensed psychotherapist! If you are not professionally trained, is it illegal to use this sensory method? ”
The laws of this era were so complicated that they enveloped almost every aspect of people's lives. In everyday life, even swearing words between friends can be illegal (non-vicious offenses, not prosecuted) - some believe that this is an important part of the ruler's alienation from human relations. If Rieli's behavior is in reality, it is definitely a typical case of breaking the bank. Although this aspect is completely blank in the virtual world, Barrett feels that he should let Rielly know about the dangers in this regard.
"The way he used to look at him made people angry. Besides, instead of letting him be so gloomy, it will affect reality in the future. It's better to give him a boost in the game, maybe it can get better. Although the words are still tough. But Barrett could feel that Rielly was already a little subdued.
"Okay, let's stop here for now! I hope that noodle kid wakes up and forgives you for what you did. Even if you girls are more than cups, some men are quite sensitive to that aspect of things......" Barrett began to analyze Rielly's psychology before noodles with an awkward expression, and then he sighed: "I think you are obviously from the past, how can you not have experience in this area?" It seems that eighty percent is the reason why Xiao Lalu is the winner in that regard. The victors seldom understand the pain of the losers. ”
Seeing Barrett's slightly lewd teasing, Lalu uncomfortably ducked behind Rielly. Barrett, who thought he would be able to get a response from the other party, suddenly became quite embarrassed. This time, he could only scratch his head and pretend to see the scenery.
At this point, the players on the crescent moon ship collectively fell into an eerie silence. As a shipman, John also knew that it was inconvenient for him to get involved in the dispute between the adventurers' team. In this way, the boat sailed quietly on the water towards the water port in the business district.
"It hurts! Hurt! Hurt! Noodle, who began to wake up, pressed his forehead with the palm of his hand, and then shook his head vigorously as if supporting his upper body in a daze. After about 3o seconds. The halfling, who had fully recovered his senses, glared at Rielly fiercely, and then returned to his seat without saying a word.
As time passed, it is unknown when John stopped the oars in his hand. The crescent moon boat that the players are riding on is still slowly moving forward by inertia and currents: "Several destinations are about to arrive!" The café "Blue Bottle" is a little further away from the water port. If you go in this direction, you should be able to see it when you cross the arch bridge. If you really can't find it, you can ask the shops along the way. ”
The players looked in the direction John pointed, and sure enough, not far from the trestle of the water port, a tall covered bridge appeared in everyone's eyes. However, looking at the completely different architectural styles on both sides of these covered bridges in front of her, Elli touched her chin again.
As if sensing the mage's appearance, John immediately explained: "Even in the business district, there are still some rich people who don't like to mingle with us poor people. So the waterway under the bridge divides the commercial area into two different areas......"
The business district in the north was frequented by the rich and noble. It sells a variety of high-end items. From elaborate exotic toys to rare magical items (?) )。 The commercial districts in the south are more common, selling mainly daily necessities. Of course, all kinds of semi-finished products made in the ghetto. In the end, it is often processed in these two commercial areas and then sold domestically or exported.
"But there are no restrictions on the passage of the bridge, so many poor people like me go to the commercial district to the north from time to time to get addicted." John's expression became a little embarrassed as he spoke.
It was said before that these crescent boatmen in Repulse City are under the monopoly of the union in the city. It can be regarded as an intermediate layer that is less than the top and more than the bottom. Even John was only able to go to the rich area to live a good time, but you can imagine how far the gap between the rich and the poor in Repulse City is - of course, this also has something to do with John's lack of family background.
As for why the "Blue Bottle" café that the players have chosen earlier is in the wealthy area of the business district. In such a more or less atmospheric tipping place, the main customers are often nobles or wealthy businessmen. For example, the commercial area is inevitably a civilian area, and there are a few taverns that do not provide accommodation! It's all about choosing a location for your customers.
After landing, Barrett expertly handed John his reward. Immediately afterwards, he led several companions with cold faces to each other to set foot in the most prosperous area of Repulse City. However, it seems that because it is not yet the shopping time of the housewives, the players cannot be said to be deserted in front of them. But it's not as lively as everyone thinks.
Players who came with a purpose didn't stay here for long. Walked straight to the covered bridge that led to the wealthy area. Standing on the bridge deck, overlooking the waterway with obvious traces of artificial excavation. The buildings on both sides of the river are of various shapes. Each is splendid, and the large and small boats on the water surface shuttle back and forth, like a dynamic natural picture.
As John said before. The players cross the bridge and walk straight in the direction he is pointing. It didn't take long for me to see an iron sign hanging in mid-air. Looking for the Iron Plaque, it seems that what appears in the player's class is a rare red brick and white gray house, and the two black horse lamps hanging from the door are spotlessly clean.
Pushing the door in, a delicate square table that is not too big is placed in the hall, and the log beams under the solid wood ceiling overhead can even see the lines of the annual rings under the transparent colorless oil. The fireplace, which is indispensable in winter, is hot, but it doesn't give you the warmth of the tavern.
But what surprised Barrett the most was that he saw a small bookshelf on the north wall of the café. Although there are only a few books scattered on the shelves, it is far from being able to fill this shelf. But in a world where knowledge is extremely expensive, even if it is all knight legends used by Xiao Qian. It is enough to prove the background and heritage of this café. Just as Barrett was thinking, he heard this voice from the hall: "Lily! Over here. ”
"It's been a long time since I've seen Aiwa." Rielly, who is now a good friend, immediately flew up and gave someone a big hug. And the woman who was caught in the mountains was now unable to make a "whining" sound. He thumped Rielly's shoulder in protest.
Then the girl who pressed Rielly's shoulder and pushed the mage away violently gasped twice and said, "Sure enough, what is lacking and making up for something!" Even if I haven't seen you for a long time, you don't need to be so enthusiastic! I was about to be suffocated by you just now. ”
"Excited! Am I not too excited? Rielly awkwardly folded her hands and apologized. In his previous encounters, Barrett had never seen a mage perform such a move. Now it feels like a different person.
Before Rielly could come to her senses, the girl had already passed the mage and attacked the kitten behind her: "Lalu - I didn't expect you to be like this now!" It's been an exciting shift. ”
Poor Lalu fell into the clutches of her again this time, and Barrett took the opportunity to look at the girl in front of her, who was rubbing her face vigorously. It is not uncommon to have a dark gold wave beneath the curly curls of goose egg face. The facial features are relatively oriental, not as angular as those of Westerners. However, the big royal blue eyes were like a puddle of autumn water, and it looked as if it would make people sink into it.
"Claudia, pay attention to the image! It's a public place. The words were accompanied by the sound of a ceramic teacup and a solid wood table lined with a tablecloth. Barrett went in search of prestige. A well-dressed lady was sitting at the square table at this time, looking at the girl who was rubbing and revealing her face, her brows furrowed slightly.
In terms of appearance alone, these girls with lace gloves were clearly superior to the girl who was ravaging Lalu. If it is matched with its characteristic temperament. In the minds of some men, the gap between the two will be widened - because people with different aesthetic relationships have very different preferences for temperament. Which is better has become a question of the opinions of the benevolent and the wise.
"Am I not too excited? The contrast between the two of you is really great! As she spoke, the girl named Claudia finally let go of the palm that had been placed on Lalu's face. Then he returned to the place where the coffee was on the table.
They're supposed to know Rieley and Larue in reality. I just don't know how many of the commissions this time are human favors, if I can't understand the relationship between the two parties, Barrett can really buy a piece of tofu to hit and die.
He was about to remind the noodles on the side so that he could come back to his senses and not be too rude. Unexpectedly, Noodle now seemed to be tugging at the corners of his clothes a little twisted, and his gaze at the two employers became evasive. Barrett touched his chin and thought for a moment: 'Noodles this guy is ......'
Immediately, he drove the idea out of his head. After all, the task now is to understand what the other party is entrusted to decide how to arrange the next trip.
Barrett, who had made his decision, walked over to the coffee table of the two ladies, and stood like a straight green pine. Then he smiled and said, "Two ladies, the blood-stained gray flower mercenary group has come to meet. What is the commission of the two of you this time? ”
"Hah! Do you want such an official answer? With that, Claudia turned her head to Rielly, who was about to order a cup of coffee for herself, "Lily, did you tell them the news about us before?" ”
The graceful girl gently patted her companion on the shoulder: "This feeling is good!" What we need are professionals. You can take it seriously, not just because of Lily's relationship that this commission will be done. This makes me feel good, plus points! ”
It seems to be a young lady who thinks she is good in reality! Let's hope that the reward given to the lady is worthy of her cousin! Barrett, who was muttering in his heart, was about to inquire about the commission, but the mage gave him a surprise attack.
"That's of course, how can the person I choose not be outstanding!" As he spoke, Rieel Leon patted Barrett on the shoulder, "The current captain, Barrett." The logic is good, the thinking is cautious, and the overall situation is okay. What's more, his combat effectiveness is definitely top among the forgetfulness at this stage. Even if you encounter a big guy like an ogre, this one can solve it lightly. ”
However, it was okay that this kind of word that seemed to be barely up to the mark was pressed to his head, and Barrett's heart was inevitably a little unhappy. However, knowing Rielly's habits, he immediately prepared to clear these unpleasantness from his heart.
The elegant girl looked at Rielly with a little surprise while stirring the coffee in the cup with a small silver spoon: "Oh! Lily, do you think he's good? In terms of the way you evaluate it. That should be pretty good. ”
"Spirit, Clematis, I've looked away once in all these years. I'll naturally bring the best person for your actions this time," Rielly, who seemed to feel uncomfortable when she spoke, immediately changed her words.
Claudia on the side took the opportunity to point to the noodles: "What about the one standing in the back?" ”
"Him! It's kind of a useful addition! "Rielly doesn't have much to say about the halfling, as always. Naturally, it also provoked the halfling to look angrily at the mage.
"Since Lily you've brought them here, let's sit down and talk about it first!" Saying that, Clematis stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and then asked, "Do you want black coffee or ......?"
"Bring me a normal drink!" For the so-called aristocratic style of black coffee, whether it is testing or operating Barrett, he is not sensitive. In his opinion, people don't have to get along with their taste buds. If he really wants to clear his mouth, he prefers green tea from the Far East.
"Just give me and Lalu the candy." After skillfully pulling out the chair and sitting down, Rielly also made a choice.
The noodles who came forward took the opportunity to say, "Then I want a cup of black coffee!" ”
"As the client this time, let's introduce ourselves first." Klaimatis held out and tapped at her companion. “。 The reason why we are recruiting players with extraordinary strength this time is because we have been preparing for a treasure hunt for a long time. ”
"Treasure hunting!" Noodle's exclamation had just come out of the "search", and his mouth was immediately covered by the quick-eyed Barrett. But even so. The voice also attracted a lot of attention in the café.
Klaimatis raised his eyebrows at Rielly: "Lily, your assessment is very appropriate, a strong man with an oil bottle. (To be continued)
