Ruby's Otherworldly Adventure

Chapter 8 The belated task

The waitress with a golden ponytail brought up the food plate by plate, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Ruby turned her grief and indignation into appetite, and began to feast on the delicious food on the table.The truffle beef is tender and juicy, the sauce is poured just right on it, and it is served with a refreshing fruit salad, one salty and one light, complementing each other.

Ruby poked a piece of peach-colored flesh with a fork, and asked the waitress, "What kind of fruit is this made of? It tastes so sweet."

The waitress said with a sweet smile: "The name of this fruit is Dorothy, and it is a local specialty. It is said that the land here was barren in the past, and there were no special products, and people lived in poverty. This barren land This kind of fruit was the only thing that grew on the earth, but at that time, the fruit was so sour and not delicious. But there was a girl named Dorothy in Norman. In order to improve people's lives, she never married and spent her whole life This fruit was improved and brought prosperity to the people of Norman. People also forgot its original name and changed it to Dorothy.”

The waitress explained in detail, she hoped that the guests in front of her would be satisfied with her service and give her more tips when they left.

After hearing the story, Ruby instantly felt that the crystal clear flesh in her hand tasted even better.It’s like Yangba tea soup. To put it bluntly, it’s freshly made sesame paste, but when I heard that Li Hongzhang had a relationship with it, I immediately became taller, and the taste was different, even though it tasted like the [-] cents a pack. It makes no difference.

Nali was taught a lesson by Nami, and became a lot more honest. She quietly pushed a custard pudding to Nami, hoping that the cold dessert would calm her sister's anger.

Nami gave Nali a helpless look, and finally took the pudding and ate it spoonful by spoonful.

Soon, a table of delicious food was eaten up.The waitress brought the complimentary water and reported the bill: "30 copper coins for truffle beef, 7 copper coins for caviar, 6 copper coins for two custard puddings, 8 copper coins for creamy mushroom soup, 6 copper coins for fruit salad, and three servings of toast and coconut The total amount of milk is 30 copper coins, totaling 87 copper coins."

"If there is no problem, please pay 87 copper coins." The waitress said.

Ruby took out a silver coin from the purse and put it in the waitress's open palm, paying for the meal.

Seeing that Ruby didn't say anything else, the waitress knew that the extra change was hers, and the tip paid by this generous customer was equivalent to her daily income. She smiled from the bottom of her heart and said sweetly: "Thank you for your patronage, welcome! come back next time."

Several people walked out of the restaurant, and when they reached the entrance of the street, Ruby bid farewell to the sisters politely, and was about to leave alone.

After hesitating for a while, Nami plucked up the courage to catch up with Ruby, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, what Nali and I did today was really rude, and we are very sorry for the trouble you caused. , approaching you with bad thoughts, I'm really sorry."

"You are a very good person. Both Nali and I feel your heartfelt sympathy. In fact, what we said before was a bit exaggerated, and the real situation is not so dire. In short, please don't feel guilty because you can't help, Don’t worry about us either. Nali and I both have skills and enough start-up capital. Whether it’s opening a store or any other situation, we can handle it. From now on, Nali and I will live a good life .”

"Also, thank you for inviting us to dinner."

After finishing speaking, she bowed deeply, not daring to look at Ruby's reaction, turned her head and took Nali away, disappearing into the busy commercial street.Before they completely disappeared from sight, Ruby saw Nali turning her head and waving goodbye to her continuously. Ruby also returned a big smile and waved vigorously until they were completely out of sight.

Getting acquainted and parting are the normal state of life. After the matter with the two sisters came to an end, Ruby also picked up her mood and began to study that grueling achievement task.

"What should I do? It's such a headache, I don't give any hints, it's all about luck." Ruby thought with a headache.

Just like the beginning of all epic missions, no hints will be given, and everything is up to the player to explore by himself, so that the story is full of legend.This kind of malicious setting belongs to the bad taste of the person who brought her here.

After thinking about it for a while, Ruby decided to try her luck at the tavern. The tavern is the place where all kinds of gossip flow the most, and it is also the place with the most disputes. Maybe she can trigger the mission in it.

As soon as she thought about it, Ruby walked to a busy tavern, asked the bartender for a glass of ale and a large portion of pork chops, found a vacant seat, and listened carefully to various information while eating, but soon she was disappointed. Most people talk about the rubbish talk that a few beautiful women entered the street today, which kid got lucky and made a lot of money.

Occasionally there are adventure missions, but it’s just marveling that the head of a certain mercenary group killed a ferocious black tiger (a common

Beasts, not even the lowest level of monsters), the reputation of the mercenary group has been improved again, which makes Ruby very disappointed.

But this is also the norm in this world, because the professionals in the mercenary regiment are generally the lowest-ranking kind, and there are more ordinary people in the mercenary regiment who are not even professionals.

People who can become formal professionals will usually choose to join a certain force, and use their affiliation in exchange for the resources to continue their cultivation.Even a professional with poor qualifications, as long as he can reach the level of a high-level apprentice, he can find a decent job with the nobles, such as a bodyguard or something.

A strong man like Ruby who has reached the level of a junior swordsman is even more popular.It is no exaggeration to say that as long as she is willing, countless forces in Norman City will offer her an olive branch.

Under normal circumstances, one can cultivate in a safe environment, and no one would risk their lives to seek a breakthrough in a battle that would lead to a near-death situation. After all, professionals are human, and they are not stupid, nor are they lunatics who like to find excitement.As for the plot in which the protagonist in knightly novels often explores the ruins and obtains treasures, his strength has been greatly improved.Hehe, they also want treasures, but they are not sensitive to expeditions with a high mortality rate.

All in all, professionals who fought life and death in the mercenary regiment either offended nobles and other big figures, and no one wanted to take them in.Or it is a waste whose strength is so bad that people can't look down on it, and can only do small tasks to make ends meet.

Of course, it is not useless for the mercenary guild to have branches all over the place. Of course there are strong ones, but they are not in a small town like Norman, but in a big city like Roland City.

What made Ruby speechless was that she also heard rumors about herself, that a boy who seemed to be a little boy defeated the terrible monster Wind Wolf, and won the hearts of a pair of sisters with great power. Hugged (didn't).

What's more, some people swore that he saw this young man become the baron's guest. The baron admired the young man's courage, and promised to marry his only daughter to him as his wife and win him over to be his son-in-law.After listening to this, Ruby's whole body has this expression (●—●), thinking that the mercenaries are also very gossip, and their imagination is comparable to that of a small-mouth reporter in the previous life.

However, the following passage made Ruby let go of her relaxed attitude, pricked up her ears, and listened intently.

"Nonsense! Redbeard, you can just brag! How could the baron marry his daughter to him? Make it more real." A tall, thin mercenary said disdainfully.

The red beard in his mouth slapped the table angrily, and blushed and said, "What nonsense? I saw this with my own eyes! You monkey. If you spread rumors, believe it or not, I will destroy you!"

The thin and tall mercenary provocatively said: "Are you sure you saw it with your own eyes? Who doesn't know that the baron's daughter is in a coma. If you marry such a daughter to someone, you don't know whether it is to win him over or to make enemies."

The red beard argued unconvinced: "What's wrong with the coma, the baron's daughter is so beautiful, even if I just lie there for the rest of my life, I would still marry her."

The monkey laughed at him haha: "I'll be your wife again, don't you piss as you deserve? Don't talk nonsense with you, if you have the ability to wake up the baroness, maybe the baron will really marry his daughter when he gets excited. is you!"

Not to mention how the red beard was sulking at being swallowed by the monkey, Ruby was in an emotion mixed with excitement and shock, because the system that had been pretending to be dead finally made a movement——

[System Prompt] Trigger achievement task: Withering Sleeping Beauty

Mission description: Baron Norman's daughter Meyer fell into a coma for unknown reasons and slept for a long time.Baron Norman was very anxious, and she promised that as long as he could save his daughter, he would meet any request within his ability.

Mission tip: You can go to the baron's mansion to try your luck.

This is it!Ruby paid the money and hurried to the baron's mansion.

It’s just to save a comatose girl, and it’s enough to get rid of the negative state. If it’s not possible, filling the bottle will solve all problems, Ruby thought confidently, as if she saw the dawn of upgrading beckoning to her, her eyes were thus It also became shiny.

However, being able to solve the system so easily means that it doesn't have to be messed up. Ruby has no idea what kind of relationship awaits her, and the troubles that she will never get rid of in her life. Although, she will be happy for it.
