"Hey, Master Raphael, haven't you finished your work yet?"

After coming back, I had a good meal as I had planned, and after a good nap, I woke up and wondered where the others had gone. When I came to the Mages Guild, I saw Raphael at first sight, slumped and rolling on the table.

face, moaning intermittently.

Boss Raphael, are you here to act cute?

"It's Xiao Xiao Wu." Raphael raised his head and looked at me with tearful eyes, his eyes filled with crystal water. He said that he felt wronged as much as he felt wronged.

Could it be said that he was too busy to cry? That's right. Not only was he busy with the Horadric clan, but he couldn't rest after coming back. He had to work non-stop to temporarily settle all the Horadric people, and he had to discuss with Tyne what to do next.

Why, where can we give these Horadrics a long-term living space?

I'm afraid that Raphael was busy all day long while I was asleep.

But as far as I know, this Princess of the Hundred Tribes is a strong woman type. Like Artoria, she never gets tired, which is very strange now.

"I finished my busy work, as early as an hour ago." The child-like Raphael choked with sobs as he wiped the corners of his wet eyes.

"Then it's a full hour of crying?" I was shocked, how wronged it was. I might as well resign and let Sa Qili do it. I just felt like she was too free recently, and she always came to tease me when she was free.

"Then...that's about right." Raphael nodded with a whimper.

"Sorry, if you're so busy, why don't you wake us up to help." I felt a little apologetic, although because of Raphael's previous renegade behavior, we had already made up our minds to avoid rabbits and hawks, but we would be really tired like this

, we won’t really ignore death. Especially me. I am also an elder of the alliance, and I have the same responsibility.

"So...busy? What is Xiao Wu talking about? Why can't I understand? Did I misunderstand something?" The sentence just now seemed to perfectly bring together two parallel conversations. Raphael

I finally realized that the two of them were not talking about the same thing at all.

"I'm not lying here because I feel aggrieved because I'm too busy...Ahem, did I mean sad?" I looked at her puzzled. Could it be that I had misunderstood.

"Of course not. Xiao Xiao Wu, really, it is very rude to try to figure out a lady's heart without permission. How could I be so aggrieved and cry here because of such a trivial matter."

"Yes...really? Haha...Sorry, sorry, it seems I misunderstood. So what exactly is it that makes you so sad, Mr. Raphael? You might as well tell me, maybe I can help."

Seeing Raphael puffing up his little mouth and showing an angry look, I quickly changed the topic.

"After I finished my work, I thought of those Horadrics who were still in the desert." Raphael's eyes became a little moister as he thought about them with a look of reminiscence.

"The more I think about it, the sadder I feel, woo woo woo, Xiao Xiao Wu, we have suffered a big loss."

"You must explain clearly what is going on and why I am so sad." I couldn't laugh or cry. Although the decision of Elder Layton and the others is indeed sad and respectful, it is not that sad.

.

"Because... because... you see, those are all excellent scholars and mages. It would be great if they could come together. Our strength will be strengthened. I think of seeing so many talents left behind."

In that desert, the more I think about it, the sadder I feel." Like a child who can't get candy, Raphael complained to me.

"Haven't most of the Horadric people already come over? With them joining the alliance, we should be satisfied." I could only coax this princess of hundreds of tribes in a gentle voice like a child.

"There is no way to be satisfied at all. Although the Horadric people who came here also have many powerful scholars and mages, there are also a dozen or so powerful ones who stayed in the desert, especially Elder Leighton, who is a powerful man at the level of world power.

.”

"Hey, Elder Leiton is the world's most powerful person?" The person who said these words was not me, but Sa Qili and the others. I don't know when, they also came over.

"Yeah, don't you know?" Raphael looked at us strangely, as if to say, after spending so many days together, he didn't even know the other person's strength. It's too inferior.

"I don't know, do you know?" Everyone looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

It turns out that I'm not the only one who didn't notice it, even the experienced Sa Qili and the others did the same. This can only show that Layton's power aura has been restrained very well, and that Raphael is also an extremely scary guy.

Time Guilt learned about Layton's strength and that among the Horadrics left behind, there were several academically talented people.

Maybe, the princess of the Hundred Tribes has now figured out the background of the tens of thousands of Horadric people, how many are geniuses, how many are knowledgeable, how many are strong... It's scary to think about it, she and Ah

Kara is the same. Whenever it comes to alliances, talents and development, amazing energy will burst out.

"There are three or four who are strong in the field, and about five mages and scholars..." Raphael counted them one by one, and the more he counted, the sadder he became. Tears almost burst out of his eyes, and with a cry of grief, he threw himself on me.

"Wow, little Wu, I'm so sad, so many talented people are missing."

"Be good, don't cry." I stiffly pulled the corner of my mouth and looked at Sa Qili asking for help. She shrugged her shoulders, showing a helpless gesture, as if to say, at this time, just let Raphael be willful.

She is also doing it for the good of the alliance.

No wonder she was willing to risk the danger to give the locating gem to Layton. I thought she was being emotional. It turns out she already knew the importance of Layton and those old people, and they were just fishing for big fish with long hooks.

Old foxes are all a group of old foxes.

I sighed in my heart. I reached out helplessly and touched my head like I usually do with my daughters.

"Hurry up and record this scene. The title is [The elders of the alliance return to youth, and the princess of hundreds of tribes kneels down and begs for comfort]. You can use it to threaten Raphael in the future." Sa Qili whispered to Tulakov in a low voice.

Hey hey hey, the mud is dirty!!!

"If you dare to record it, I will make a hundred copies of the image of you bathing and sleeping to death in a bathtub, and finally sinking without realizing it." Raphael raised his head from his arms and looked at Sa Qili. His eyes flashed.

Sharp light.

"Ah!!! You bastard, didn't you say it was destroyed?" Sa Qili suddenly screamed with her face flushed.

"Oh oh oh!!!" All the men couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and their eyes subconsciously fell on Sa Qili's exposed skin, which was as white and delicate as a baby.

"What are you imagining! You perverts! One finger of aging!!!"

As soon as the words "aging" were pointed out, a lot of people fell down on the ground. The sound of coughing and wailing like an old man could be heard everywhere.

"Why is the newcomer brother okay?" Tulakov never forgets his brother after suffering. Seeing that I am still standing and not suffering from the persecution of aging, he can't help but feel sad and angry.

Very good. Uncle Tulakov, I remember you.

"I didn't hear anything just now, right?" Sa Qili gave me a threatening look.

"Yes, yes, I didn't see anything." Seeing the fate of these grown men, I nodded quickly, fearing that I would be too late.

I'm too lazy to think about Rakoff's performance.

"Besides, when my little brother has not transformed, he only has pseudo-domain strength, and the power of the aging finger is a bit greater for him." Sa Qili found another valid reason.

"It turns out there are advantages to being weak!" The men who fell to the ground regretted and cried bitterly.

"That's not fair!"

"That's right, stop making excuses to hide your preference for eating young grass. Sa Qili, take off the mask of disguise and show your true self. We will not laugh at you. At most, we will only talk to you in the bar.

Let someone else tell me."

After a few "puff-plop-plop" sounds, a few corpses of small animals such as mice were thrown to the ground by the smiling Sa Qili.

I was still curious about what Sa Qili wanted to do, but Tulakov and the others seemed to already know something, and their faces turned blue.

"No! Don't do this! Sa Qili! Sister Sa Qili! Her Royal Highness Queen Sa Qili! We didn't say anything! It's all Tulakov's big mouth!" Shashik and the others struggled desperately and kept rolling on the ground.

Trying to stay away from Sa Qili, her frightened look was like meeting the Four Demon Kings.

"It's useless to say it." A cold light flashed through her beautiful eyes with a smile, and several animal corpses were summoned into skeletons. Sa Qili clicked on the skeletons, and then, these loyal little things were filled with...

The grown men rolling on the ground were dragged out. Thanks to the fingers of old age, they didn't even have the strength to struggle.

Oh, I remembered.

Seeing Sa Qili's gentle gesture, it looked very familiar, and I finally remembered, wasn't that the combined skill attack she once showed me in the palace prison? I remember that Tulakov still acted like a victim at that time.

Angrily said that this move is as famous as Sa Qili's aging finger. It has left a shadow in the hearts of many adventurers and created Sa Qili's reputation as a witch. In recent years, she has restrained herself and no longer uses this move.

, it’s time for frequent use to have a [lesser] effect on aging.

I can roughly guess who has used the Peeping Finger on Aging the most times. When Sa Qili used the combo skill to explode, who was hurt the most. Needless to say, it was definitely Tulakov, which left a shadow in my heart.

An adventurer, he must be one.

Now, because of Tulakov's big talk, he finally forced the Explosion Witch to come back to the world, and Shashik and the others also suffered.

If he could still survive, Tulakov would have been tortured by Shashik and others. He really deserved it.

Not long after, I heard several violent explosions. Among the explosions, there were faintly familiar screams. I silently made a sign of a cross on my chest.

Infinite Heavenly Lord, I wish you all to become Buddhas as soon as possible.

Looking back, Sa Qili's eyes were still full of danger, and she glared at Raphael who looked innocent: "The consequences of violating the agreement are very serious, Mr. Elder. You must be mentally prepared."

"What are the consequences?" Raphael asked innocently, with a tendency to commit suicide.

"How about I make a hundred copies of the last time I slept naked and drooled and rolled off the bed?" Sa Qili showed an extremely enchanting and terrifying smile.

This time it was Raphael's turn to change his expression.

"Sa Qili, you bastard, didn't you promise to destroy it?"

"Hmph, I've known for a long time that a villain like you would do this, so I kept a defensive hand, and it really came in handy." Sa Qili snorted proudly.

"It's the other way around. It's probably because I knew you, a villain, would break the contract, so I held back."

"Ah? What are you talking about? If you can, go out to the camp and inquire. When did I, Sa Qili, stop keeping my word?"

"I, Raphael, keep my word."
