Cabin for two with Maid of Mond

——In this way...

A young alchemist with deep eyes.

Volume Four, Chapter 37, Special Three Hills

In the secret realm of another world, the rocks shook and collapsed.

Toth slid down the slope, took off and landed, then turned over and ran without daring to stop for a moment.

He was panting heavily, with a bitter look on his face.

——That abyss princess... She said her name is Ying, right?When I said goodbye to her just now, although the atmosphere seemed to be the end of the journey...

— but for me, the problems were just beginning.

——If after those meaningful words, I die in an ordinary way, then even if I die, I will feel ashamed.

Completely different from Ying, who was surrounded by his subordinates and had a teleportation service, Toth could only escape the collapsed platform with his own feet.

Thanks to Toth's own improvement in the use of the four-rock ensemble, and a small amount of nourishing energy "smuggled" by Ying with the feather token, Toth was finally spared from the embarrassment of weakness and collapse, but he was still in a very poor state.

Regardless of the conspiracy of the foreign law evil spirits, or the relationship between Ying and Kong, the follow-up of all issues has to wait for Toth to survive.

Although he escaped from the severely collapsed area in time to avoid the fate of being crushed by the rocks, the threat did not stop there.

At first, it was the brilliant slimes who were suspected of mutant rock slimes, but when Toth escaped from the collapsed area, the slimes did not continue to chase, but collided with a large group of mutant hill people.

Although Toth did not completely lose his combat power, he decisively chose to concentrate on escaping as soon as he saw the number of enemies.

Today, Toth is somewhat panicked, but he is not completely directionless.

Among the several special places summarized by his past life memory, almost every place, including the previous platform, was a dangerous area in his previous life.

There is only one exception, the real Lucen Street in the previous life is a safe zone, and it is also the reason why Toth enters the Lucen Street most of the time.

Of course, there is no evidence to prove whether the safe area in the previous life is also safe in the current secret world.

But Toth had no other reference information, and the direction when he escaped from the collapsed platform was relatively close, so he could only move to the unsafe safe place based on his impression, at least try to get rid of the mutant hill chasing behind Qiu people.

however……

- Swish!

With the sound of a short burst of wind, Toth stopped abruptly.

In front of his toes, an arrow stably pierced the ground.

On the towering rock in the distance ahead, stood a figure.

Seems to be……

A Qiuqiu man holding a longbow.

Toth was surprised at first, but also puzzled.

——Damn it, I was pinched from front to back!

— But wait a minute... what is that Qiuqiu man holding?

——It holds a bow?Not a crossbow?

Thoth had never seen, nor heard of, Chuchus with bows.

Although it is theoretically possible for Qiuqiu people to learn to use bows, crossbows are much easier to train than bows.Due to the support of a large number of hand crossbows suspected to come from the abyss, Qiuqiu archers all use crossbows. I have never seen any Qiuqiu people specially learn bow skills that require longer practice.

Thoth had only seen one so far.

Toth suspected that this might be some kind of change caused by the evil spirits of foreign law?With some special experimental effect, the Qiuqiu people changed their temper?

Moreover, the angle and depth of the arrow entering the ground also made Thoth deeply afraid.

Not to mention the crossbow arrows of ordinary Qiuqiu crossbowmen, it is not easy for most human archers to shoot such a powerful arrow.

Toth also felt that the arrow did not miss because Toth stopped, and it was probably aimed at forcing Toth to stop.

That is, there is precision at the same time.

Toth almost suspected that it was a human archer disguised as a Chuqiu, and it was a particularly powerful one.

not only……

And the wind.

An unnaturally strong wind blew up all around.

Thoth's elemental senses were aware, and when he looked up, he saw a Qiuqiu flying in the air.

It looks like a Qiuqiu shaman...Of course, the Qiuqiu shaman can use elemental magic.In the territory of Mond, although there are shamans of all elements, it is said that the most mainstream is the shaman of the wind element. I don't know if it has anything to do with this being the kingdom of the wind god...

The problem is, I have never heard of a Qiuqiu shaman blowing himself into the sky with the wind.

On the contrary, some Qiuqiu shamans would cooperate with tribal warriors to plunder human cargo balloons, lift the balloons up with the wind and move them away, but that was completely different from allowing the Qiuqiu people to take off stably by themselves.

The shaman in the sky seems to have more gorgeous clothes than ordinary shamans, and a black cloak flutters in the wind.Its posture of riding the wind is almost close to the core of the wind.

It's not over yet.

A black shadow flashed past Toth's head quickly, and then there was a loud bang, and the tall and strong figure landed heavily.

Thoth turned around halfway, and looked sideways to the rear while keeping his vigilance against the archers in front and the flying shaman in the sky as much as possible.

He is also from Qiuqiu.

Thug-level Daqiuqiu people.

Before the pursuers from the rear caught up, the thug-level Qiuqiu jumped from the front mountain wall to behind Toth in one jump.

This thug Qiuqiu is not simple either.

——Wooden shield, heel, big ax...

——Usually, mob-level Qiuqiu people only take one kind of equipment.

—Does it itself have one in each hand?

The thug Chuchu, who jumped behind Toth, held a thick wooden shield in one hand, and a huge battle ax that ordinary thugs would hold with both hands in the other.

Holding a bow, flying, shield and axe.

Three extremely special Qiuqiu people have surrounded Toth.

even……

There is a follow-up.

However, it wasn't just the Qiuqiu people who appeared next.

Short emerald green hair, a light shirt that looks like a spring lake, and a one-handed long sword in the style of Liyue.

Although he hadn't really met him yet, it was a face that Thoth had "seen".

Liyue's young knight, Xingqiu.

This young man appeared from the other side of the path ahead, coming steadily with his sword in hand...

At the same time, there were quite a few ordinary Qiuqiu people beside him.

In other words, the road ahead has been blocked.

The Qiuqiu people chasing behind are also approaching.

There was nowhere for Thoth to escape.

……

……

"Noelle, Noelle?"

"Huh? Ah, sorry."

Noelle jerked violently.

Ying Ji was looking at her with some concern.

"Are you tired? Come to think of it, it was still late at night when I woke up, and you watched over me before that, and even fought to save the 'other me'... so you didn't sleep well at all... "

"No, no, no such thing!" Noelle blushed and shook her head quickly. "I went to bed very early last night. I woke up before the fools came. I didn't sleep enough. I feel better now!"

"But you..."

"It's really fine, please don't worry. I'm just worrying about something... In fact, it's meaningless for me to worry about it."

Noelle shook her head, pulled herself together, and smiled.

"Okay, let's go see Captain Qin."

Volume Four, Chapter 38, Counselors of Fools

In fact, Noelle seriously considered whether to take Yingji into Mond City first, but keep Yingji hidden in the hut.

If Toth knew it, he might say by the way: This is Jinwu Zangjiao... Xiaoxiao Zangji.

How low is the lower limit of what fools can do, Noelle thinks he can't predict it.Running out with Yingji, even if it's just to Mond City, can't be said to be risk-free.

Although he finally decided to go to the city, Noelle tried his best to prepare mentally.

In her opinion, the most dangerous thing is to leave the forest area of ​​the hut and not reach the head of the bridge.

At that distance, Noelle could no longer get the protection of the hut, and he could only fight with his own strength when encountering enemies.

That area is already within sight of the knights stationed at the city gate. If there is a battle, the knights will definitely come to check it out.But the idiots were all wearing masks anyway, so maybe they would be shameless and simply snatch it under the sight of the knights.

And what Noelle is worried about...

Happened a half.

They didn't encounter any accidents outside the city. Noelle greeted the senior knights stationed at the city gate, briefly introduced Yingji to the foreign guests, and stepped into Mond City safely.

But still met fools.

Although they didn't really rush over to snatch people forcibly, a group of masked men gathered on the fountain square on the main road in the city, staring at Noelle and Ying Ji from a distance, it was quite obvious that the visitors were not kind.

Different from the combat troops, these fools were all dressed up in the overcoats of civilians and belonged to the members of the diplomatic mission staying at the Goethe Hotel.

Although it was considered one of Noelle's expected situations, she thought it was a relatively low probability, lower than the probability of looting outside the city or completely standing still.

I didn't see the executive officer of the Fools [Ms.], but now the leader of this group of Fools, Noelle also knows.

Fool Counselor o Anastasia.

Even without counting the eleven executives with special status, her title of counselor is not actually the head of the mission in name.But in fact, before [Lady] arrived in Mond, Anastasia was the main dispatcher of the local fools, and she was originally responsible for putting pressure on the Zephyr Knights at the negotiating table.

At the beginning of Fengmolong's rebellion, Noelle watched the conversation between the counselor Anastasia and the head of Qin more than once, and his high-handed and contemptuous attitude was still fresh in his memory, and his impression was naturally very bad. .

After the further escalation of the chaos in the wild—that is, the influence of the double-headed monster flower that we later learned—the fools kept a low profile for a while, and this annoying lady counselor did not appear again for the time being.

When the lady arrived in Mond, she became the backbone of the fools here, and Noelle himself stayed in the hut, so she had no chance to meet Anastasia.

Unexpectedly, today she led the team and directly blocked people on the street.

and……

"The maid of the West Wind Knights, the woman behind you belongs to us fools. Hand her over immediately, and we don't need to pursue it further."

As annoying as ever.

In the sight of people coming and going, Anastasia was aggressive.

Noelle stood in front of Ying Ji, looking straight back.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Counselor. But please forgive me for refusing. Your request is unreasonable. On the contrary, we may need to confirm the details of many things with you."

Even though she was wearing a mask, she could still feel the unfriendly gaze from Anastasia. She said, "Pay attention to your attitude and words, maid. We Solstice people never make 'unreasonable' requests, and don't Let me repeat... that woman belongs to us fools."

"Belonging, what kind of 'belonging'?" Noelle did not back down. "Are you trying to say that she is a member of the Fools? Or do you... regard her as property?"

"Oh, of course..." Anastasia smiled indifferently, and said, "...Of course it refers to the members? Are you trying to falsely accuse us of some nasty crimes in order to To divert attention from the topic?"

Open your eyes and talk nonsense, thanks to the mask, maybe you don't even need to open your eyes.

Noelle shook his head slowly, and said: "I only know that the lady behind me was chased and fled by a group of armed bandits in the middle of the night. Based on the honor of the Knights, it is only natural for me to drive away those bandits and protect this lady. I am also about to report the details to Captain Qin. If you fools want to know about this, you might as well wait until I bring her to meet Captain Qin."
