After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

Chapter 223 Linda’s response to Aike, the power behind Lulu
Aike's voice was very soft.

But in everyone's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Linda and the others were stunned.

It feels like this is unlikely.

After all, Aike has repeatedly claimed in public that he only regards Linda as a good friend.

Leah also asked Aike what he thought of Linda, and Aike replied that it was an ordinary old teammate relationship.

"You, what are you talking about!" Leah was stunned, "It must be a lie, right? If you like Linda, why didn't you say a word when I kicked him?"

Lulu looked wary and grabbed Linda's hand to demonstrate.

Linda was the most surprised.

He didn't feel that Aike's attitude towards him was so special. He hadn't touched her in three years.

You know, every man has such a special ability: he can sense whether girls like him.When the thought 'Does she like me' arise, nine times out of ten it is correct.

But so far, Linda has not felt similar intuition from anyone except his own team members.

Especially Aike, the least likely!
"It's true, I didn't lie to you!"

Echo's face turned as red as a monkey's butt.

On the one hand, it was the shame of being executed in public, and on the other hand, Ai Ke was worried that this 'lie' would be discovered, so he had to describe this feeling with added detail so that Linda and the others would believe it.

"I didn't realize it before Linda left the team, but it was because of Linda's departure that I realized it!"

Ai Ke quibbled: "You see my cooking skills are so good, but I only practiced them for Linda!"

"I put Chunyang flower pollen in the chicken soup, just to hope that my relationship with Linda will be further improved, but you all blame me, eh, eh, eh, so sad!"

Ai Ke lowered his head and pretended to cry again.But somehow, the little pearls in her eyes were dripping down, and she didn't have to think about sad things deliberately.

Leah was the first to believe it, and stammered: "You, you, this is not okay, you are a member of Xueyan, and the captain forbids you from falling in love."

Your control is too broad! ?
Aiko scolded Leah in his heart for being a loser. He couldn't do it himself but wanted to hold others back.

Lulu said: "I refuse."

Aiko:?
Who asked you?

Isn't it just a long tail with multiple ways of playing, what else can it do?

Lulu's face was cold: "Linda has no intention of dealing with women, he will focus on taking risks."

That's fart.

Ai Ke was angry in his heart. Looking at my lady's big white silk stockings, Linda was confused. How could someone not be close to women and only take risks?
Linda's huge holy sword shows that it is the kind of woman who has recently become a woman. When Linda becomes her slave, she will beg her six or seven times a night and will not let her master sleep.

But Linda's voice broke Echo's fantasy.

"Lulu is right."

Linda said slowly: "The demon king is about to break through the seal, and my sister has become a lackey of the demon clan. The enemy is facing us, and I have no mind to focus on other things."

"Ai Ke, I know you are a good person. I hope you will put your mind on the right path in the future and assist Xue Yan with all your heart."

After listening, Ai Ke's heart skipped a beat: What do you mean, her 'confession' was rejected by Linda?

Although this was a false 'confession', Linda's response to her heart was true.

In other words, even if Aike confesses sincerely, Linda will still reject him!

Cricket Linda actually rejected her!

Aike's face was as white as snow.

As a talented mage, she had never suffered such a tragic failure in her life.

She said unwillingly: "Okay, I know you are thinking about taking risks now, so let me ask you, what happens after the adventure is over? After you have solved both the Demon King and Lin Xi, you should find your own [Oath Keeper] Alright?"

Linda thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."

Echo said: "At that time, I can reluctantly be your pledger."

This made Leah on the side stunned again.

Linda shook his head: "Oath-takers usually find them in their own team. There is no one more reassuring than their partners who live and die together."

Aiko:.
It made her want to lower herself and join Luanweihua!

"But I suggest that you don't limit yourself to your own team." Leah held it in for a long time and said in one breath.

Linda was confused: "Why?"

"Because... there might be something better or more powerful outside." Leah didn't know what she was talking about, she was talking nonsense.

Looking at Leah, Linda suddenly remembered something: "When I was 'poisoned', it seemed like"

If Aiko and Lulu hadn't arrived on the way, the current situation might have turned into Leah pulling Xue Yan's people over and forcing him to take responsibility with great force.

Leah's ears were a little red and she said bravely: "Don't think too much. In fact, nothing happened."

Linda breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

As if he had avoided some kind of trouble, he immediately felt relaxed.

When Leah saw Linda's appearance, she was inexplicably angry.

It made her look like a piece of brown candy, and her feet were afraid of sticking if she stepped on it.

No one asked if Aike was injured. Even Leah, who was on Aike's side, felt that Aike had brought it upon himself.

Linda just regarded her as an ordinary teammate, but she actually wanted to use this deceitful method to gain Linda's favor.

What's the difference between this and those despicable elves in the tavern who are trying to steal the guests' money?
Leah crossed her arms and acted like a captain: "Eke, please apologize quickly. If this kind of thing is reported to the Law Enforcement Bureau, you will be detained for several months, which will delay the progress of Xueyan's strategy."

This was said very skillfully, almost squeezing Leah's wisdom to the extreme.Leah seemed to be threatening Aike, but she was actually talking to Linda: Don't let the Law Enforcement Bureau arrest Aike, Xueyan still has to conquer the World Tree.

And when Linda knew Aike's reason, she couldn't laugh or cry either.

I saw this beautiful blond mage wiping her tears pitifully, with a fragile look as if she knew she had made a mistake and was reflecting on it.

"Today's incident can be forgotten for the sake of my old teammates, but Aike, I hope you will be more honest in the future. Don't think about these evil ways, assist Xue Yan well, and fulfill your responsibilities as an adventurer."

Linda said seriously with a straight face.

Ai Ke drooped his head and hummed weakly.

The chicken soup plan was a total failure.

She was supposed to win and win and go straight to the top, but instead she fell to the bottom and became the loser!
Even Leah made progress, and Crona was forgiven by Linda. Only for her, instead of increasing, her favorability dropped.

How could Ai Ke be willing to lose like this?

Linda asked her to be an adventurer honestly, but she did the opposite and began to plan the next strategy to capture Linda.

Based on the experienced experience she learned from Sese's picture album, she can judge whether this is a first-hand product based on Linda's holy sword posture. The answer is obviously 'yes'!
This shows that Lulu is only a small step ahead, and the gap is not too big to be bridged.

Ai Ke was secretly furious. Next time, she would definitely overtake in the corner and trample both Lulu and Liya under her feet!

After Xue Yan left, only Linda and Lulu were left in the room.

"Have all the guests left? I have to go clean."

Before he finished speaking, Linda was about to take a step when his wrist was pulled.

Looking back in surprise, he was greeted by a girl with light blue short hair and her feet crossed.
Something soft blocked Linda's mouth.

Linda: "!!!"

Lulu had a trace of uneasiness on her face and held Linda's back tightly with both hands.

After a while, they separated with a big breath.

"Before the adventure is over, you are not allowed to let these two become your pledgers." Lulu looked directly at Linda.

Linda was even more confused: "This is natural."

Lulu's face relaxed a little.

"That's good."

She walked towards the door of the room, "Is it time to clean up the third floor?"

Somehow, Linda felt that Lulu's mood had improved again.

Even with the help of temporary waiters hired, Linda and the others had to clean the first and third floors until night.

For dinner, they heated up the leftovers to fill their stomachs.

The four people from Luanweihua came to the trophy display room together - there was a mountain of gifts piled inside.

Linda and the others have not yet counted how many gifts they have received and how many gold coins they are worth.

At present, not all members of the Luanweihua team are wearing level 20 equipment, but there are some backward equipment of level 10 or above.

There is still a long way to go to reach Linda's goal of having all the players in orange equipment.

He planned to sell the gifts into gold coins and arm Luanweihua as soon as possible.

As we all know, each adventurer has six equipment slots.

They are:
head.

chest.

leg.

arms.

Jewelry X2.

Linda's breastplate, boots, and weapons have not reached level 20.

Monica and Kafni are similar, only half of them are level 20 equipment.

There is also Lulu, a level 28 Frostwolf warrior.

"Is this all your equipment?" Linda looked at the several warm clothes neatly placed on the table.

Looking at Lulu, who is wearing a large black robe, covering her exquisite body, her mind can't help but think: just a few seconds ago, these were all worn on Lulu.

No wonder it smells so good.

Kafeni woke up drunk and swam in the pile of gifts. His eyes widened when he saw the money: "Hey, hey, OK, OK, it turns out that I have collected so many good things. I want to buy an exclusive carriage."

After spending many days together, Linda saw the true nature of Kafeni, a money-obsessed and lazy good-for-nothing god.

He first checked Lulu’s equipment:

The main weapon is level 25, orange.

Head, breastplate, boots level 23, purple.

There are two pieces of jewelry at level 25, one purple and one orange.

Linda sighed, Lulu's equipment was quite good.

"I saved it before." Lulu was a little embarrassed: "Can I put it on?"

"Um, of course."

Linda returned the equipment to Lulu.

It is worth mentioning that the equipment can exert its power as long as it is connected to the user's magic circuit, and it does not matter if it does not leave the user's ten-meter range.

Some equipment with an indescribable appearance will still be effective after being connected to the magic circuit and then installed into a space ring.

This is what Linda usually does.

He and Lulu also joined in valuing the gifts.

The two of them each moved a small bench and chatted while opening gifts.

Linda said: "Can you tell me now, your mission in Baige City?"

The trust system shows 84 points.After Lulu helped him clean up the pollution, and he in turn purified Lulu, he rose from 82 to 84.

The further back you go, the harder it is to improve trust.

But 84 points is not low, it is equivalent to a close friend.

Linda thought that with her current level of trust, she might be able to get Lulu to confide in her.

Upon hearing his question, Lulu trembled, her hand stopped opening the gift box, and her face showed confusion.

"Can't you even tell me?" Linda said softly.

Lulu was so excited that she shivered.

So cunning.Lulu bit her lip and thought that if she didn't tell Linda, wouldn't it mean that Linda was not worthy of her trust?
She knew that Linda was worried about her, which made her unable to get angry.

"I can't tell you the specific content because of the contract. However, I can tell you the power behind me."

Lulu squinted her eyes: "Who sent me to this city, and their purpose."

"Can we also listen?" Kafeni pulled Monica and pointed to his nose.

Lulu looked at Linda.

Linda nodded, "No outsiders, just tell me."

Lulu then spoke: "You should still remember Grand Duke Leng Yue."

This is a name that exists in the game plot and is familiar to players.

"Leng Yue's Fire, one of the four guardian flames of the Southern Fire Empire."

"The successive leaders of the Lengyue family are known as Grand Duke Lengyue, and he is one of the top adventurers on the continent today."

Linda recalled the plot of the game and said, "The Lengyue family is also the largest sponsor of the original adventure team."

Every top adventure team stationed in the royal capital will be favored by the four major families.

As a player, after emerging in the royal capital, you will encounter an option: choose a family to join.

Linda's choice was the Lengyue family.

The special thing about this cold month is that it encourages PK.

Players can get a lot of money by defeating the adventure team specified in the Leng Yue's Force mission.

Linda chose this point and chose the Lengyue family.

Kafeni and Monica both realized that Lulu was about to say important information, and they pricked up their ears.

"After you disappeared, drastic changes occurred within the Lengyue family."

"I learned this after I became a witch, was rescued by the Leng Yue family, and signed a loyalty contract. On the surface, the Leng Yue family is still one of the four guardian flames of the empire."

Lulu made a shocking statement: "Grand Duke Leng Yue has rebelled and is having an affair with the demons."

"what!"

Linda's expression changed.

The four major families are the most powerful pillars of the empire, but if one of them rebels, is that okay?

In the game plot, this event does not appear.

"I guess the reason why Duke Leng Yue rebelled was because of you." Lulu stared at Linda and said with a serious expression.

"I?"

"Yes."

Lulu nodded.Her hands resumed opening the gift box, while she thought about it and spoke eloquently.

"When the original adventure team was in the capital, although the level of the members was not very high, their potential was recognized by Leng Yue. He believed that the original adventure team was the team with the most potential to reach the top."

"With the original adventure team here, even if the Demon King revives, he will be sealed again. Grand Duke Leng Yue firmly believes this."

"But because of too much trust in the original adventure team, Duke Leng Yue was completely disappointed after the captain Dark Shadow disappeared. Vice-captain Tina and the others broke up, some joined other adventure groups, and some re-founded the team Duke Leng Yue Think they are worthless."

"Instead of waiting for the devil to revive and be destroyed, it is better to surrender to the enemy and exchange for peace for the family."

Lulu sighed softly, "My mission in Baige City is to find someone for Grand Duke Leng Yue. I can't tell you who it is specifically, as this involves the content of the contract. When I find the person, the contract between me and the Leng Yue family will be finalized. That’s it.”

Linda rubbed her chin, "Really? If you tell me who you are looking for, I can help you."

"I already have an idea. I will definitely find that person."

Lulu shook her head, "Linda, you have to focus on yourself. If Tina, Duke Leng Yue and others discover your existence, you will be in danger."

Tina is a mature, strong, and intelligent team member who usually looks pretty good.But sometimes, she is so crazy that no one knows what she will do if she catches Linda.

And Duke Leng Yue had already surrendered to the enemy.If Linda is caught, the Grand Duke will definitely sacrifice Linda to the demons.

Fortunately, the dark shadow always wore a mask, and no one knew what Linda's face looked like under the mask.

Linda thought for a while.

As for the current situation, neither Duke Leng Yue nor Tina has a good way to deal with it.

If you insist on it, you can only improve your level.

"Let's first aim to become a steel-level adventure team."

Linda thought silently.

The top priority is to explode an epic weapon, increase the team's total damage, and fulfill the conditions for hiding monsters on the ninth level [[-]-second quick kill].

Looking at the Luanweihua team, Linda is the weakest with the main weapon.

Monica and Kafeni have level 20 purple crab general series weapons, and Lulu has saved money to buy a level 25 orange weapon.

Only Linda, he is level 23, but still uses the level 15 Azure Sword.

The term 'Increase damage to aquatic monsters' is good, but it is limited to aquatic monsters.

To fight other monsters, it is a level 15 orange weapon with high attributes.

If the goblin lair in the fifth-floor Great Secret Realm cannot explode an epic weapon that he can use, he will have to consider buying an orange weapon in the trading company.

I hope that the skill [Blessing of the World Tree Goddess] will allow him to become the 'European Emperor' for once.

It's useless to think too much about luck. Linda rolled up her sleeves and opened the gift box faster.

An hour passed, and several people sorted out the total value of the gifts.

A total of 31 rock-level teams came today, and the total value of the gifts reached about 90 gold coins!
This number made Linda take a breath.

When he was in Xueyan, the total gifts he received from the promotion party were only 3 gold.

Linda thought that the reason why he received so many valuable gifts was probably because of the live capture of the 6th, 7th, and 8th floors.

The special skills of the three members of the Luanweihua team made many adventurers shine.

It took the gifts they had just made do and upgraded them to a higher level.

Secondly, there are four gifts inside, which are extremely precious and increase the total value.

The first thing to bear the brunt was the level 30 orange monster core given to him by his sister.

Estimated value: 30 gold.

The [Inspiring Forest Garland] given by the White Pigeon Adventure Group has very good attributes. It is among the best among level 23 helmets of the same grade, and it is also valued at 30.

There is also the [Sea and Clear Sky] brand watch given by Leah and Isa.

One is azure and the other is azure.

The two add up to about 15.

This is 75.

The total for others is only 15.
