Violet Orchestra

Although they split up after entering Xilan, everyone still had dinner together.

Elaine reported that they filled out the form in the Adventurer's Guild and planned to find a team to name them; Hodge touched several entrances and exits of Sheeran, and then perfected the map that could be bought on the street; Erkins checked out the town's supply points, and brought everyone back new weapons.

"Did you spend a lot of money?" Hodge gestured twice while holding the new dagger, and looked back at him.

"The weapon shop here is not bad, because even the 'Death Saker' Schalke, who ranks third in the guild points, is replenished here, so the weapon shop prepares replacement weapons for him and his team all year round. The supply is good and the price is not bad. Gao, and other people can also get some credit." Birkins explained, "Don't worry, we are not short of money now."

In fact, the statement of "no shortage of money" is a bit too modest, they are now richer than most people in Sheeran.After he said this, everyone subconsciously turned their attention to the team wallet Elaine, who waved his hand awkwardly: "Birkins, continue talking."

"Actually, there's nothing to say. Everyone can try their own weapons. After all, I'm not myself, and I may not be able to choose the most suitable thing for you - Violet, this is for you."

He put a small box on the table, and the poet picked it up with a puzzled expression, obviously unable to understand: "You bought it for me in the weapon shop?"

"Well, it's a small mechanism, you can try it in an open space, don't point it at people."

After muttering a few words "so troublesome", the poet took the box and pressed the switch against the wall of the tavern without waiting for Birkins' reminder.

In the next second, a thick smoke quickly swept over their position.

Violet was the closest to the source, immediately dropped the box and coughed fiercely, and finally covered her nose and mouth to criticize Birkins after the smoke cleared a bit: "Why didn't you tell me it was something like this in advance?"

"I haven't had time to say..."

Birkins was sitting next to him, and he was not affected much less than him, and the smoke was blocked by the wall and drifted towards him, very innocent.

"It's a smoke box?" Elaine helped him pick up the box that fell on the ground, and obviously recognized it. "It should be a Konova elf inside. It will emit a lot of smoke after being stimulated. I heard it is very rare."

"Then you don't say it in advance." The poet tugged at his sleeve angrily, wiped the box and his hands, and then stuffed the box with the lid back into his pocket, knowing that Birkins was letting him use it when he was in danger. The man got away and patted the shoulder of the man who was still coughing, "Thanks."

Birkins covered his face and waved his hands.

After the sudden farce was over, Petra put her crossbow on the table.

"Violet, you take this." She pushed the small hand crossbow to the poet, "It doesn't have much recoil and it's not too heavy, it's suitable for you to use."

The hand crossbow was always close to her body, and even Elaine, who joined her soon, knew that it was her best weapon. It was certainly not a good choice to suddenly hand it over to Violet.The poet shook his head, and returned his crossbow to her: "Forget about the small box just now, I can't use this at all, and you gave it to me, what do I use for myself?"

"I can use more weapons than you can imagine." Petra smiled, "Do you think I just learned to pray every day in Trillance Mountain? I didn't miss any of the things Sancho's female warriors needed to learn. , In terms of fighting, I have not lost to anyone in this generation except Devendora."

After dinner, she invited Birkins and Hodge to the outskirts for a tryout, and proved her fighting skills with practical actions——Hodge couldn't last long before she was knocked to the ground with her bare hands, and Birkins replaced Kay. The big sword that the Flat people are good at can only barely draw with her, and when fighting him, Petra just took the cheapest knife in the weapon shop.

Faced with most situations, she really didn't need to rely on the crossbow, but Violet was still unwilling to accept it, and resolutely returned the crossbow to her.

"Elaine will always be with me. I don't need to hold this, but I may accidentally hurt him." He looked straight at Petra, as if he had seen through all her thoughts, and held his hand gently and irresistibly. The sling of the crossbow was on her shoulders, "You carry it yourself, and you have to promise me not to act alone."

Of course he knew what Petra's idea was - to entrust him with what he valued, to find a chance to leave Hiran for their safety, and to go back to attract Dewindola's attention so that they would not be involved Come into this thing.They'd known each other long enough that it was clear to Violet that this was what Petra was, and she must have thought so.

She can do many things for you silently, but when it is her turn to need your help, not only will she not speak up, but she will try to push you away as much as possible and take all the responsibilities on her own.

On the way back to the hotel from the Adventurer’s Guild in the afternoon, he told Elaine about his speculation, and asked him what he thought. At that time, the young man almost blurted out without thinking: “This is Petra’s choice. You, traveling with us, shouldn't let her face those past clansmen by herself at this time."

The tone couldn't be more natural, and it was exactly the same as his thoughts.

Even Elaine thinks so, so of course he won't let Petra leave secretly as he wishes.

"...What are you thinking?" Petra finally took the hand crossbow, reinstalled it on her wrist guard, and said nonchalantly, "I promised not to act alone, are you satisfied?"

Violet was still worried, he always felt that she would not be so obedient, so he thought of another way.

"I'll share a room with you tonight, okay?"

He sleeps so lightly that he wakes up at almost the slightest sound, and he's the only one who might find out if Petra tries to sneak away at night.As a thief, Hodge can't be shaken when he sleeps, and Birkins can't persuade Petra. He is not a good candidate for night watch. In his opinion, only himself is suitable.

But Petra raised her eyebrows, glanced at him, then shifted her gaze to behind him pointedly, and said with a half-smile: "Is this not very good?"

Violet turned around, only to find Elaine standing behind him the whole time.

"What are you thinking." He returned the original words to Petra, "We have lived in the same room so many times, why would it suddenly become a firewood because of the addition of Elaine?"

Petra originally wanted to use the excuse of teasing him to change the subject, but he didn't expect him to admit it so simply, and didn't care about the possibility that Elaine would think too much, so she shrugged helplessly and agreed to his request.

After receiving her affirmative answer, the poet took his puppy away with satisfaction, saying that the tavern owner invited him to see his collection, and maybe he could buy a piece or two of rare spices.

Petra watched them go away, put away the knife and planned to go back to the hotel. On the way, she met Birkins who was going back to the city first. Seeing him shopping at a roadside stall, she went over to say hello. .

"What are you buying?"

Birkins turned his head and motioned for her to look over.

"Waijinshi is not a precious ore, but it will glow in the dark, like a shining golden diamond." He picked up a necklace from the stall and showed her the pendant on it, "Kevlat people like it Meaning, my daughter used to have one too."

"What does it mean?"

"Family and trust," Birkins said.

Petra was taken aback, then laughed.

"You don't have to keep reminding me," she said, "I promised Violet that I wouldn't sneak away without saying a word. In your hearts, I'm an image of not talking too much?"

"Of course not," Birkins paid for the necklace, pocketed it and stood up, "I just thought of my little Lanny, who always wanted to give her mother one of these necklaces." , so I couldn’t help but stop after seeing it just now.”

Petra knew about his past, so she stopped talking after hearing what he said, and walked back with him.

Neither of them are talkative people, and Violet once said that being with them would make her feel like an overly chatty bird, but in fact, even when neither of them opened their mouths, Petra didn't feel embarrassed. .

She knew why Birkins had told her this, and that both he and Violet had seen her intentions, but the methods they used to dissuade her were entirely different.

"Thank you," she whispered as she walked up the last flight of hotel stairs.

She saw Birkins smile and wave to her: "See you tomorrow."

After closing the door, Petra took out the necklace with the gemstone pendant from her pocket.She knew that Birkins put it in her pocket, and the reasons were obvious. The necklace was not exquisite, and the gemstone was not worth much, and it was not even as good as Elaine's minola stone. One percent of the necklace, but it looks special because of its meaning.

She looked at the small gemstone pendant for a long time, finally put the necklace on the table, took off the wrist guard and hand crossbow, and decided to take a bath and rest.

Violet lived with Petra for one night as she wished, and was content to keep her, so she woke up the next day in a good mood.But before he had time to be happy for a while, he was immediately splashed with cold water after packing up and going out.

Petra portrayed Dewendora as a big devil. At first, they all thought it was a bit exaggerated, but when they actually met, everyone discovered that her description was not exaggerated at all.

Dewendora is more than 7 feet tall, with a strong and dark complexion, a pair of scary orange eyes, and facial features that are as sharp as a bird of prey.Like Petra, she has long braids, but they are tied very high, and there are silk ropes of various colors mixed in between the braids. The battle armor on her body looks exotic, but it is not romantic at all. No, instead it made her look like a murderous god.

She was riding on a horse, leading people around the door of the hotel in arrogance, with a hand shield on her exposed left arm, and a spear taller than her in the other hand. There was no point on her face. expression.

"Let her out."

Like the hoarse sound made by rubbing sand and stones in the desert, this is the voice of the first warrior of the Sancho tribe, and it is also a voice that Petra is not familiar with.
