Chapter 07: Blood Elves and Dragon Mercenaries(1/2)
The sun shines on the snow, so bright that it is a little dazzling.
At noon, Andrew had already taken the mission back from the Adventurers Guild.
Process? What kind of process can be done? Isn’t it just to pick the right one among a bunch of tasks? Without Christina by her side, everything is unimpeded. It seems that she has indeed been blacklisted by the Adventurer Hall.
"There are good and bad things. But in general, there are still many benefits."
"It's not easy to reshape your reputation. Is it easy to find an obedient dragon?"
"It is at least possible to rebuild your reputation, it just takes some thought and time. Just such a small place, nothing I can't do. Also find an obedient dragon?"
"Haha, this is simply impossible, it is impossible to search the entire continent. Dragon has never been obedient, especially he doesn't listen to a blood elf."
"After that being said, I really don't know how a dragon grew like her. Didn't her parents teach her how to be a normal dragon?"
"Who knows? Do you still need to figure out who dropped the thing when you pick it up? Hahahaha."
Raising an eyebrow and stretching out his hand, Andrew gently pushed open the door.
"You are finally back!" Before Andrew could react, Christina had already rushed up and hugged Andrew tightly.
Well... Fortunately, it's a human form, but if it's a dragon form, it's done.
...
The sun shines in from the window obliquely.
Andrew sat in the room, eating lunch silently. Christina across the street looked at him and smiled in a daze.
She has been like this since the beginning. Starting from Andrew's entry.
"Is it tasty?"
"not bad."
"I was afraid that I wouldn't do well, so I went to ask Mrs. Lida for advice. The plates and knives were also borrowed from her. I'm afraid you won't be used to metal knives and forks. I heard that elves use wood."
"In fact, elves sometimes use metal, and only dwarves like to use wood. Maybe it's because they get tired of making irons every day."
"oh."
"Don't you eat something?"
"I'm not hungry."
Christina continued to look at Andrew, laughing constantly, her eyes...
Well, Andrew was starting to worry a little. It wasn't that thinking of eating herself before eating, right? Damn... it was a bit scary. Did she pretend to be stupid from yesterday to now? The purpose was to raise herself to gain weight and eat it? Just like an old witch in a fairy tale.
Thinking of this, Andrew suddenly felt that the beef on the plate was no longer fragrant and became a little nervous.
"I'm full." Andrew silently put down his knife and fork, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth.
"You have only eaten a little, and I have made a lot of it."
"I'm already full, and the elf doesn't eat much. You won't want me to eat too much, right?"
"Okay..." Christina frowned aggrievedly, thought for a while, then continued to laugh, and stared at Andrew.
Andrew's scalp was numb by seeing it.
After all, this is a dragon... Who can avoid being numb when a dragon is stared at like this?
Well... Maybe Gray doesn't, after all, he doesn't have a scalp.
"Ahem!" After coughing twice, Andrew asked softly: "Can you tell me what happy things you have encountered?"
After being asked this, Christina was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and replied, "You are back."
"I'm back?"
"Yes, you're happy to come back."
"Ahem..."
"Where are you feeling uncomfortable? I can heal magic, I will help you..."
"No! No! I'm fine, I just choked." After a two-snap of breath, Andrew looked at Christina who continued to giggle and asked, "Can you tell me what's worthy of your coming back... so happy?"
Looking at Andrew, the smile on Christina's face slowly disappeared, and turned to loneliness. After a while, she reluctantly smiled again, lowered her head and said, "I just feel that you will be very happy when you come back."
"Are you worried that I won't come back?"
Christina hesitated and nodded in a daze.
"Why?"
Christina looked at Andrew with no answer.
"Okay, I understand." Taking a deep breath, Andrew asked softly: "You used to have members of the mercenary group, right? They all left like this?"
"Yeah." Christina nodded, pursed her lips and replied hesitantly: "They all said something was wrong, and then left, and never came back. So, I'm afraid that the Chief of the Guard would tell you about my past affairs and you wouldn't come back. In that way, I'll be left with one more person."
Well, how miserable is this dragon?
Andrew was helpless.
But it is true that normal humans probably choose to leave. What is the purpose of being a mercenary? Of course it is for money. Is it for dreams? Follow her and she can’t even receive the mission, so where does the money come from?
Looking at Christina for a while, Andrew whispered: "I won't leave, at least it's impossible now. The Chief Guard did tell me everything about you, but I don't think there is anything wrong."
"Really?" Christina's eyes widened.
"Of course, have I lied to you?"
"No!"
"Isn't that right?" Andrew raised his eyebrows slightly and spread his hands.
"Thank you, thank you!" Christina wanted to pounce on her again, but there was a table between them. Andrew was so scared that he quickly reached out to stop her.
Looking at Andrew, Christina's eyes were filled with tears.
Andrew was stunned.
This is not just a stupid dragon, but also a sentimental dragon...
What kind of parents can give birth to such a dragon? If the dragons were all like her, they probably wouldn't have become the villains among various knights. Well... Of course, it might be worse, and they might have become the heroine directly. Who knows?
Andrew sighed helplessly: "Do you really don't eat anything?"
"No," Christina shook her head and replied seriously: "Dragons can not eat for a long time, but they will eat a lot as soon as they eat. I ate it a few days ago."
"Okay, it sounds quite convenient. Then aren't you going to ask me how the task is going?"
"Didn't you say you're going to Adventurer Hall together?"
Andrew smiled mysteriously and took out a scroll: "When I came back, I had already taken back the mission!"
Christina was shocked, and after a moment of cheering, she burst into tears, crying like an ordinary little girl.
Just a task of two hundred gold coins... Life has actually tossed a dragon like this.
Andrew sighed helplessly.
...
During this period, the entire continent was undercurrent.
Lich King Gray is actively planning the Northern Expedition. The southern countries are busy preparing for war. The dragon clan is quarreling because of the extreme deterioration of relations with the undead. Heaven is making trouble because of the subsequent changes in the route, and hell has extended its claws to the continent of Celtics.
Many years later, the lord of Giant Snake City, Hydra Knight Jones, has just left Gray's camp and returned to his home. He was just told that his engagement with his cousin, and the conflict with his father had not really broken out. There is a Hydra living in Giant Snake City, but he still uses another name.
However, these seem to have nothing to do with what happened to Lin Lopez, at least it doesn't matter yet.
Lin Lopez was a comfortable time.
"From now on, you must listen to mine in all your actions. Although you are the leader of the group, you must listen to mine. You must not do what I don't let you do. Unless you think you will never get the task again. Do you understand?"
"Yeah!" Christina nodded heavily.
Under the blue moonlight, the two of them sneaked into a heavily guarded house.
"Do I need to become a dragon?"
"No, no need. Our task is to help the employer get the pendant that his son lost in the casino back."
"We're going to steal something?"
"No, we are helping people, not stealing things. We are helping people in need."
Far from afar, they had seen a large group of mercenaries gathered in front of the gate of the house and confronted the guards in the house. The owner of the house was arguing with the mercenary leader at the door, or quarreling with the mercenary leader. In fact, they really started arguing, but the fight had not started yet.
"What are those people doing?"
"That's the one who took on the same task as we did. If we don't take the things away, the owner here will be in endless trouble. We are helping him." Andrew took off his coat and handed it to Christina, and said, "You wait for me here and don't go anywhere."
Before Christina could react, he had already climbed over the wall.
You have to admit that in addition to being a magician than humans, elves are also more suitable for being archers than humans and thieves than humans - of course, they must be elves with no moral bottom line, such as Andrew.
About half an hour later, Andrew came back from climbing over the wall, holding a pendant in his hand.
"You've got it!"
