Infinite crossing from violet

Chapter 424 Mandatory Tasks
The scream became an opportunity.

The next moment, the street was out of control.

All the people distanced themselves from Winnie like an ebbing tide. The human mother took her child's hand and ran away desperately. The young man let his pale lover hide behind him.

"monster!?"

"My God, how could it appear in such a place!?"

In the evening the street corner was enveloped in a great wave of panic.

The junior adventurers present drew their swords one after another.

Seeing the sword unsheathed, Winnie let out a low whine in fear. She remembered that people had cut her with this kind of weapon. In retrospect, the wound that had already healed still hurts faintly.

Lu Ye never expected this to happen!

The oncoming person just now... did it on purpose!
They know of Winnie's existence! !

Lu Ye instinctively looked for the figures of those two people, but they had already fled in the chaos.

There was a crowd of people all around, surrounding Lu Ye and his party.

And they are like evil heretics, constantly being condemned.

Stones, eggs, fruits...these things hit Winnie like raindrops.

People took advantage of everything on the street that could be used to attack, and with the superiority in numbers, fear turned into anger derived from hatred.

The crowd cursed in unison, and their emotions exploded instantly for the public enemy of the human race who stepped into their own domain.

Beginning adventurers who knew the potential power of "Wevill" tried to stop the ignorant masses, but in vain.

"Ugh..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's interesting."

"It's so serious~"

As for the few gods who happened to pass by.

They mingled among the crowd, watching the scene in front of them.

Some frowned, some expressed worry, and some watched happily.

Whether it is a monster or a human being, in the final analysis, it is just something for the gods to entertain.

"it hurts……"

The subtle wailing from Winnie was covered up by people's insults.

But compared to the pain of the stone hitting her body with all her strength, it was the heart of the dragon girl who hurt more.

Isn't punishment supposed to be given to bad children?
Did I do something wrong...?
She thought desperately in pain, but couldn't get an answer.

It's like I didn't do anything.

Just like everyone else, walking on the street.

If she really wanted to say it, then the only thing she did was to expose the face of the monster to everyone.

I see……

Tears welled up in those beautiful red eyes.

Is my own existence itself a mistake?

When Violet came back to her senses, she was about to rush forward to protect the dragon girl.

But she was held back by Estes. ,

"elder sister……"

"Don't get excited, she won't die yet."

Under Estes' persuasion, Violet calmed down.

Esdeth looked dignified, his fingers moved slightly, and tiny ice crystals emerged.

Although Winnie is fine now, high-level adventurers will soon come upon hearing the news.

Only then will Winnie's life be in danger.

But she wasn't sure whether to do it or not.

Once shot, it is tantamount to covering up monsters.

Doing this kind of thing under the watchful eyes of the public will undoubtedly become the target of crowding out by the people. In Olalie, where the news spreads extremely fast, they will be unable to take a single step in the future, and they will even be banned from entering the dungeon.

She doesn't mind being a public enemy.

But she had to think about Lu Ye.

Once you can't enter the dungeon, it means you can no longer search for the whereabouts of the fragments.

Thinking of this, she turned her gaze to Lu Ye.

The latter just winked at her.

Estes understood, and moved his fingers slightly.

The next moment, the stone bricks on the ground suddenly shattered, and huge ice crystals rose from the street floor, and then shattered suddenly.

Crushed ice fell all over the sky, and even the surrounding air was shrouded in cold fog.

Taking advantage of the moment when the cold fog was filling and everyone's vision was blocked, Lu Ye rushed over and grabbed Wei Ni.

Then, Teigu Shangri-La activates!
The Taiji Formation appeared under the feet, and the figures of the two disappeared in an instant.

The next moment, Lu Ye and Wei Ni appeared in the alley near the Tower of Babel.

After putting the hood back on the shivering Winnie, Lu Ye heaved a sigh of relief.

In this way, the crisis is temporarily escaped.

The visibility of Esdeth's ice fog is extremely low, and even high-level adventurers cannot easily see through it. ,

But having said that...the two men didn't know each other, how did they know about Wei Ni?

Lu Ye thought that he had protected Wei Ni very well during this period of time. Every time he went out, he covered her tightly. Even when he was in the room, the curtains were drawn tightly. In addition, Wei Ni can talk , not to give away the horse's feet.

What is the opponent's purpose...?
After comforting Wei Ni, Lu Ye went to buy her a new outfit.

The two returned to the hotel under the cover of night.

And the fact that a monster appeared in Orario spread quickly.

……

In the middle of the night, the top floor of the giant white-walled tower "Babel".

"Weaver?"

After hearing the information, Freya asked back.

All the movements in the city, especially the news worth noting, will be reported to the Lord God by Auta.

"Yes, it is said that it appeared on the street this evening."

Hearing what Otta was waiting for, she held the wine in one hand and asked him, "Oh, I just feel that the city is inexplicably noisy... So that's what happened, did the pet go crazy?"

"pet……?"

"I mean the weaver, did it hurt anyone?"

"There seems to be localized chaos, but there is no damage. It is said that the monster did not hurt anyone. The broken ice crystals suddenly rose from the street, and then disappeared suddenly. Someone should have done it."

"Is that person's identity unclear?"

"I don't know, at least...you should know better than me."

"Being able to take away the dragon girl under the eyes of everyone, that guy is really capable..."

Freya did not deny Ota's words, a thrilling smile was drawn on her lips.

"Have you any idea about this?"

"I guess...does the guild have any notice?"

"No, there isn't. They seem to be busy grasping the situation and cleaning up the aftermath at the moment, and have no time to take care of other things. Do you want to inquire?"

The silver-haired beauty leaned back on the chair, showing a lack of interest expression.

"Well... I'll think about it when things get serious. I don't need it now. Although I know about Vivier's existence, she must have been exposed on purpose. It's a pity. In order to suppress her latent viciousness, we They also specially prepared juice."

"Naviville..."

"Leave her alone for the time being. She was originally a harmless child. What you need to pay attention to now is the person who exposed her identity... causing chaos in the city. I don't know what their purpose is. If they just want to kill her, There should be more means when there is no defense.”

"Then I will take the responsibility..."

"That's fine, I'll leave it to you. Dragon Girl doesn't care, but I don't want to see that child sad."

"As ordered."

……

The next evening.

Lu Ye and his party returned from the dungeon and went to the guild in exchange for rewards.

A large number of people gathered at the gate of the guild, holding up wooden signs in protest.

"Hey, what happened to that monster?!"

"We don't pay taxes to let you eat!!"

"The person in charge, get out and talk!"

"Why did monsters appear in our city? We need an explanation!"

Rumors of monsters appearing on the streets yesterday have spread rapidly.

Since the Adventurer's Guild is the largest organization that manages the entire Orario, the people have come to ask for an explanation.

"This is really..." Bell looked at the scene in front of him and said hesitantly, he also heard about what happened yesterday.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Lu Ye said expressionlessly.

"Miss Winnie, are you all right?"

"Fortunately, although she was frightened, Violet comforted her for a long time."

Violet on the side remained silent, as if she had something on her mind.

Seeing her like this, Lu Ye didn't speak again.

Although I don't know how the news was leaked, but the existence of Wei Ni has been known by some people.

Since he still doesn't know whether the other party is targeting him or Wei Ni, he must be careful in his next actions.

Lu Ye asked Estes to accompany Winnie in the hotel. Although for Winnie, the person who is more suitable to accompany her at the moment is Violet, but Estes is more concerned than Violet. It is much more meticulous, and it is not easy to fall into the trap of the other party.

After spending some effort to enter the headquarters of the guild.

Miss Aegina at the counter did not deal with the work at hand, but unexpectedly brought Lu Ye, Violet, and Bell to the meeting room.

"That... I'm sorry for bringing you here suddenly, but there is something that must be given to you."

Miss Aegina said, and handed Lu Ye a sealed letter.

"This is?"

"It is said to be a top-secret mandatory mission, and I want to hand it over to you." Aegina said after hesitating for a while.

"Compulsory mission?" Lu Ye was a little puzzled.

Bell on the side was taken aback and explained by the way.

There is a huge commission board in the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild. Every day, clients will post tasks and rewards on it, and then wait for the adventurers to accept the commission. This behavior is also known as "normal tasks".

As for the "mandatory mission", this is an absolute order issued by the guild.

The "families" and adventurers belonging to Orario must obey this order.

Generally speaking, there are only a handful of "mandatory tasks" issued by guilds.

He didn't expect that it would fall on Lu Ye this time.

However, what does this have to do with me?
Bell was puzzled.

Lu Ye felt a little heavy.

He couldn't think of any "compulsory tasks" for him to be issued by the guild.

If you have to say it, there is only the dragon girl Winnie.

Could it be that he showed his feet when he evacuated last night and was discovered?

But if this is the case, why didn't the guild send someone to arrest him and force him to ask Wei Ni's whereabouts?
After getting rid of distracting thoughts in his mind, Lu Ye asked.

"Can I open it here?"

"Well, but don't show it to me... because I'm not qualified to know the content."

Under the watchful eye of Miss Aegina with her lips tightly shut, Lu Ye slowly peeled off the sealing wax, and opened the instruction book inside the wrapping paper.

The content is only one line of words.

"Lu Ye and his party, the family members of the Hestia family and the dragon girl went to the 20th floor of the dungeon together."

In addition to the instruction sheet bordered with vine patterns, a memo sheet with detailed contents is attached.

On the floor map written in red, an area deep in the 20th floor was marked as the destination.

Even the time of departure is specified.

At midnight tonight, the limited time is late at night.

20 floors underground...

Violet on the side opened her eyes slightly. ,

Even she could see that this mission was made for Winnie.

Obviously, the guild is aware of her existence.

It's just that Violet doesn't know why the location of this mandatory task is set on the 20th floor of the dungeon.

If the guild found out, according to common sense, they should force themselves and others to hand over Winnie.

After leaving the guild, Lu Ye also showed Bell a look at the content.

After all, the task is also related to him, and he is also one of the insiders.

"This mission is about Wei Ni, and we don't know what the guild is planning," Lu Ye said, "You are implicated by us. If you don't want to come, don't force it. We will keep it secret."

"No... I'm going."

"Our inside story has been figured out by the city's management organization. It's useless to resist. The guild will never let us escape from Orario. Just announcing that we have hidden monsters is enough to make it difficult for us to move forward. The most important thing is that we don't know what the purpose of the mission is," Lu Ye said, "Even so, you still want to come?"

"Well." Unexpectedly, Bell's eyes were firm, "Brother Lu Ye, you have helped me so much, even if it is a small amount, I want to help you. And... it has nothing to do with me. Although at first I was also worried when the gods took in Winnie, but then I figured it out, if a monster can talk, think, and cry... what is the difference between it and a human?"

"Then come on," Lu Ye smiled slightly, "I will do my best to ensure your safety."

……

Inside the hotel.

Lu Ye told Estes about the "compulsory mission".

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Estes said, "Although I don't know what the purpose of the guild is, I have to go there now, but at least it won't be harmful to us, otherwise we just need to poke the guild. We can't stay in Orario without the fact that we hide monsters."

"Then, it depends on Winnie's wishes."

Lu Ye turned his gaze to the inner room.

"Then Winnie, are you willing to go with us?"

In the dark room, the girl explained everything to the dragon girl.

Violet lowered her head, she knew that she was making an excessive request.

The Dungeon must have been a scary place for Vinnie.

"Well, I am willing." The dragon girl gently took Violet's hand, "Because... Violet, you are always helping me. Although I may be afraid, as long as I am with you, I will be happy." I'll be scared."

The red stone on his forehead shone slightly.

Just like when the two met for the first time, she chose to hold the gentle hand of the person in front of her after being hurt by monsters and humans.

This time, the dragon girl still chose to trust the girl in front of her without hesitation.

　Happy May Day.
