The book says...

Stage 43. Days of Back and forth—Mermaid: This shit is definitely playing around with a fool, let me go!

After communicating with the captain of the rookie team through the nerve connection crystal, Xibo said heavily to all the teammates in the [eating] team: "Now, I have a good news and a bad news. Gentlemen, I want to hear it first." which one?"

"Bad news?" the female orc scratched her head and said, "I, my mother said to prepare for the worst, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Louis and the others nodded dispensably. It doesn't matter which one they listen to first. Anyway, in the end, they will always know the good news and the bad news. However, since someone suggested it, they don't mind listening to the bad news first. information.

"Okay, then, let me tell you the good news first," said Hippo.

"==Hello!"

"The good news is that the picture of the dragon is real, [-]% real. The initiator of the mission, the city lord's daughter, Catherine II, personally admitted the authenticity of the photo. It is said that Catherine II's great-great-great-grandmother, who also Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine was once kidnapped by a dragon when she was young, and now Catherine II has the precious crystal memory record of Catherine I's kidnapping, so she can be sure of the authenticity of that photo." Hippo replied, "By the way, Say, your friend still has a special hobby of kidnapping princesses?"

Andra tried hard to recall the split dragon in his memory, and had to nod helplessly: "It seems that he is indeed correct. He split himself to hone his acting skills, so that he can perform well when he kidnaps the princess. What a villain's acting skills, he insists that a dragon whose lifelong goal is not to kidnap a princess and be defeated by a knight is not a good dragon."

"..." The audience was silent for five seconds, and Louis said, "What did it say in the book?"

Andra nodded: "Yes, he said, according to the book, every dragon must kidnap a princess in his life, and then be defeated by the knights, leading to a marriage, this can be considered a good dragon. As the only one in this world As a dragon, he must contribute his meager strength to the generations of Her Majesty the Princess."

"How did he read "The Book Says"?" Louis always thought that the book that deceived the entire Demon Race should be unique to the Demon Race.

"The demon in our team is the first demon born from the tree of life in this world. He lent it to him to help him find the meaning of life." Andra's face was twisted.

It seems that it is not that the genes of the Seven Heroes of this generation have mutated, but that the spirit of "two goods" is the tradition of the Seven Heroes of each generation.

"Hey, no matter what the small language channel of the demons is saying over there, let's continue to announce my news. The bad news is that they took the picture of the dragon in Tartarus." Hippo said.

A stone stirs up a thousand waves.There is no other reason, Tartarus is the city where they just confirmed that there are no dragons before they came to Gaia.

"So, the purpose of our coming to Gaia from Tartarus is only to protect the goods of a stingy boss? It should be noted that the commission he gave is not enough for me to take a bath!" said the mermaid , who the hell dares to give him a nod, he will definitely beat him to death!In the end, the mermaid said, "It really is a great sentiment of self-sacrifice for others."

In other words, they made a trip for nothing.

Andra frowned, and said: "It was my mistake, sorry, I apologize to everyone, I will..."

"No, it's not your fault, I, I think so." The female orc was the first to express her opinion, she was always the most soft-hearted one in the team, not because she was easy to bully, but because she didn't want to hurt anyone.

"I don't think you're wrong either, Tartarus, we've turned it upside down," said Hippo.

The mermaid shrugged: "I strongly request to take a bath before going on the road again."

"My gut tells me there's something wrong with it, but it's not about you," Charlotte said.

"A woman's intuition?" Hippo interjected.

"Go to hell!" Charlotte said, although she is not a powerful knight in reality, but it is more than enough to deal with a magician who only knows about small flames.

In the end, everyone's eyes focused on Louis, and everyone knew in their hearts that whether they forgive or not, this person's opinion is the most important, and this person, it is obvious from his aura that he will understand that his temper will not be good , and will not easily forgive this kind of thing that made him make a trip in vain.

However, Louis failed all those who were eagerly looking forward to him, turned around and left.

"Where are you going?" Andra thought to herself, I knew that the devil was the most difficult part to handle.

Louis stood still and turned his head: "Rest."

Andra finally breathed a sigh of relief, and stuffed her hanging heart back into her chest from her throat, thinking to herself, this devil is surprisingly easy to talk.

"What did the Lord Demon King say?" Xibo was at a loss.

"Let's go, idiot!" Charlotte slapped Hippo on the head unceremoniously.

The next day, the ready-to-go [dinner] team had no choice but to return to Tartarus.Before returning, they still accepted a task to continue protecting the caravan.Cough, it's a little bit less loss, isn't it?

Therefore, when they met the stingy caravan boss again, the expressions on the faces of both parties were wonderful.It is obvious that both sides are slandering. It is interesting to go back and forth between the two places in such a short period of time.But no one really opened their mouths to ask why the other party made such a fuss. Anyway, everyone gets what they need, which is just right.

After seeing Louis, the caravan owner's face turned ashen, and he said neatly that he would pay double the price this time. Hippo whistled and said that the boss finally got the hang of it.

... Open up your sister!The price was doubled, yes, but he only hired one of their squads.

"You've got the guts," Hippo said to the boss.

The boss smiled: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't you know that you are amazing."

More than fifty robbers, small trails, bad weather, once again ready to fight.

The little brothers were puzzled: "Brother, we were robbed yesterday, and we continued today, isn't that bad? Shouldn't most people have to rest for a few days to recover?"

"Stupid!" The bandit leader, who came back from the thieves' union, looked at his little brothers with contempt for ordinary people, and said, "Do you know what criminal psychology is? Like this kind of accidental robbery, they will definitely not be here. They committed another crime in the same place in such a short period of time, and they are not fools! When everyone thought I should rest for a few days, we did the opposite to succeed! Besides, they were serving as guards for the caravan owner Yes, is there any caravan owner who will run on the same road for two consecutive days? It’s not because he’s full, it’s not scientific at all!”

"Big brother, big brother..." The little brother said cautiously.

"Why?" The bandit leader, who was about to mobilize his brothers to swear that he would succeed if he failed this time, looked dissatisfied at his younger brother who interrupted his passionate speech.

"You're full, non-scientific idiots, here we come." The younger brother said.

Looking back, on the sheep intestine team, more than 20 bandit groups met once again, this time with a caravan of less than [-] people. The bandit leader shook like a candle flickering in the wind, and knelt down to Louis on the spot: " We're really out of stuff."

"Oh, then leave the clothes." Hippo de Luis said that plucking is a traditional virtue.

"..." Don't bring such a bully, BY, all the robbers.

The return journey was smooth, and the money and goods of both parties were cleared. The caravan owner said with a smile that he hoped to have opportunities for cooperation in the future.

Seeing the pitiful commission, Xibo angrily said to the boss: "If I look for you again, you will be my uncle!"

Then, the [dinner] team rushed to the place where the rookie team photographed the dragon. It was a suburb not far from the city. There was no scenery, and there was no forest hiding countless dangerous monsters. There was only a small valley. , the valley is an endless sea of ​​flowers, the degree of dream is definitely enough, but obviously there is no magic fluctuation, it is not suitable for seclusion.

The most important thing is that the [Dining] team has been here before and checked it carefully three times!

what to do?What else can I do, continue to investigate.

In the end, they still found nothing, and everyone returned disappointed. Not far from the gate of the city was the adventurer branch of Tartarus, and Andra took the initiative to go in to see if he could find out any new news.

The rest of the happy children disbanded in place.

Well, in fact, they didn't break up too much. They just sat together in the ice cream shop opposite the tavern, each ordered an ice cream, and then started the symposium opened by God.

"You said, is it possible that the split dragon just came to Tartarus for shopping?" Hippo played his basic skills as a writer, and before Charlotte complained about his thoughts, he I just shot this idea myself first, "No, no, if this is the case, how boring that dragon must be."

Louis had absolutely no intention of joining the conversation.

At this moment, he looked at the ice cream that was said to be "every bite is a novel experience" with a serious face, hesitating whether this thing would be like Bibi's multi-flavored beans in Harry Potter that he had seen before, There is something strange and unbearable smell.

In the end, the heroic Lord Demon King took a bite as if death was at home... It seemed to have reached heaven, it was delicious!

The female orc misunderstood what Louis meant, and when she watched Louis staring at the ice cream for a long time before taking a bite, and sitting there as if she didn't intend to take another bite for a short time, she said empathetically, "If, if If you don’t like it, I’ll pour it for you.”

"Prodigal son!" Hippo seriously reprimanded this extravagant and wasteful practice.

Louis looked at Hippo and said, his eyes said, Hippo was right, in order not to waste it, I have to finish this ice cream!

But... Xibo obviously misunderstood the meaning of the devil, he immediately changed his face, and said flatteringly: "I didn't say anything about you, really, how much do you like, really, you don't force it at all, or Shall I buy you a few to play backwards?"

"Idiot!" Charlotte beat Hippo hard, then dragged Hippo to the tavern to Andra, and ordered the female orc to get the mermaid who was about to bury her face in the ice cream next to her. , casually thrown into a nearby pool.After a while, there was no one around Louis, leaving him a time alone where he could open his stomach and eat ice cream.

What a blessing.Louis thought so.

The next day, the [Dining] team, which had rested again, heard another unfortunate news from Gaia, where someone found a trace of a dragon. Miss Santo issued a notice to hunt for dragons, recruiting warriors from all over the world. .

This kind of endless loop where they go to place A, but the target goes to place B, how to break it?

"I think I can wait for you here." The mermaid said, going back and forth like this, what a fool!

"... Is it possible that your friend did it on purpose?" Writer Hippo's imagination was running at high speed again.

Thinking about how boring the split dragon is, it's hard for Andra to admit it, because it's really possible. Of course, the premise is that the other party has recognized them, and they haven't recognized the other party, then they are very likely Being played by the other party.

"Has he always been like this?" Hippo wondered.

Andra nodded heavily, yes, she has a bad personality as always, plus schizophrenia.

"Can we change teammates?" Hippo asked.

Louis looked at Hippo, if it wasn't for Lear who had to find the only dragon in the world, do you think I would be willing to be with you?

"Okay, I asked a stupid question." This time, Hippo finally got in tune with the devil's brain.

"It's good that you know." Charlotte complained instead of Louis.

Then... the whole team bowed to Louis three times, making Louis feel a little like he was attending his own funeral.Cough, the five people on the opposite side all had serious expressions on their faces, and they said the most commonly heard phrase "I'm sorry", as if they were afraid that Louis would get mad and run away because of his impatience.

"Stay where you are and rest for another day." Louis finally said.

The team passed unanimously and prepared to wait a day in Tartarus to see if there was any change in the situation.

result?

The result is really amazing!It is said that the castellan of Gaia City is heading towards Tartarus with the warriors she recruited.

...Are you really fooling around with a fool?

……

After several days of struggling and searching, Lear finally found Tartarus. He rested in the valley full of Louis' atmosphere on the outskirts of the city. He knew that they were very close, and he couldn't wait to see Louis. , but in the end he still felt that he had to be in the best shape to meet his way!

As a result, after arriving in Gaia from Tartarus, Lear discovered to his dismay that he had paid a heavy price for his procrastination, and he did not find Louis in the city of Gaia.

Where can that road go?

After failing to contact Charlotte again, Lear began to seriously consider the possibility that Louis was kidnapped by a human saint. Locking him up in one way or another, that tough-tongued saint would definitely do it.However, Lu should not give in easily.No, no, how did his train of thought get here!

When Lier was at a loss, the high priest contacted: "Have you found Your Majesty?"

"No..." Lear found it hard to say.

"Not yet?!" The high priest really wanted to yell at him regardless of noble etiquette. What are you doing to eat? The palace has supported you for so many years, but you can't even do such a small thing as finding your majesty, so what's the use of you!It's still a dragon, I've never seen such a stupid dragon! "I need to know exactly."

Only then did Lear talk about his running back and forth these days, and said that the smell can only tell whether it is strong or not, but it can't tell the trajectory of people walking!

"Charlotte, you can't be contacted for sure. That woman has always had evil intentions towards His Majesty. She definitely doesn't want our people to find His Majesty so early." The high priest always has a shrewdness than others when dealing with Louis. , "And obviously, your running back and forth like this is also the result of that woman's deliberate misleading. It seems... we can only be disrespectful once."

"You mean?"

"Lock His Majesty's nerve connection crystal and locate him. You know, we shouldn't have done this without His Majesty's consent. Even if His Majesty just disappeared this time, I didn't..." The high priest didn't He knew whether he was explaining to Lear or doing psychological mobilization for himself.

"I think, in order to protect His Majesty, His Majesty will forgive us after he finds out about it by accident." Lear's meaning is very clear, if His Majesty knows, we will confess, if His Majesty does not know, we will kill them without telling them have done so.

The high priest looked at Lier, with a heavy scrutiny, and finally said: "You are very promising, do you really not consider coming to the temple?"
