You call this a shield?

Sheld didn't know how this gesture was common to both worlds.

"No, just subordinates."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Sheard, you are busy first, I will wait for you here, I will treat you later, let's catch up on the old days."

Please take care of your sister.

Sheld wanted to say that, but seeing this guy's heartless attitude, Sheld gave up.

Nodding his head, he took Ix to go through the formalities of joining the regiment.

Although the front desk of the adventurer's guild here seems to be church personnel, they do things the same as the normal adventurer's guild, except that there is no smile on their faces, and they look cold.

I don't know, showing off the badge of your own church can make you smile?Sheld was thinking about it for a while, but at this moment, a familiar voice came through the eardrums.

"I've already sorted out the files, and the classification should be done soon."

"As expected of the elites dispatched by the Adventurer's Guild Headquarters to support them, their reputation is well-deserved. With your help, I believe we will be able to sort out this batch of lost backup data soon."

"Oh, where..."

Through the reception counter, Shield could easily see a nun talking with a familiar figure inside.

"Atina?"

"Huh? Who called me?"

Atina was about to continue to chat with the temporary branch president of the Adventurer's Guild in front of her, but was interrupted by a strange shout, and this shout was inexplicably familiar...

She turned her head abruptly, and the eyes of the two met in mid-air.

"Mr. Sheard?"

It's evil!How to meet all acquaintances?

Ix was filling out the form, and without raising her head, she asked directly, "Know you again?"

"Are you some kind of big shot?"

In her impression, in her hometown, only those with high reputations are treated like this, and she knows people everywhere she goes.

"Unfortunately, no." Sheld explained with a twitching corner of his mouth, "Generally speaking, it would not be such a coincidence. The few outsiders I know well, all met here."

……

The atmosphere at the wine table was inevitably a little awkward.

Stike and the others haven't come back yet. From the monitoring range on the map, it can be seen that they are probably still wandering around happily.

In the current scene, it was Sheld, Ix, Hodge, and Atina, all staring at each other.

"This is...? Does it look familiar to me?"

Hodge looked at Atina and recalled carefully.

Doesn't that look familiar?It used to be the front desk of your Baishi Port Adventurer's Guild!

Sheld took the initiative to introduce: "This is Atina, a staff member of the Adventurer's Guild."

"This is Hodge..."

"I know him, a famous guy in Baishi Port."

"Huh? I'm so famous?"

Hodge immediately became interested: "How did the outside world tell me?"

"A little bastard who takes advantage of his family's money to run amok."

This made Sheld break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Hodge was indeed different from ordinary aristocrats. He had no aristocratic airs at all, and just fell down on the table very disappointed.

"I obviously did good things! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

"That's how people are."

Atina was just about to raise her glass to take a sip of wine, but Sheld held her hand down. After giving Sheld a look, she slowly continued: "The important thing is not whether you do good deeds, but your origin."

"If you come from a poor family and don't want to be a knight, these people will think it's because you have been treated unfairly."

"If you are from a noble family, and you don't want to be a knight, but go to the bottom, this group of people will gloat instead."

"Your way of comforting people is really unique..."

"That's right." Atina raised her arm: "Why are you holding me down?"

"Did you forget what you were like the last time you drank?"

Sheld rolled his eyes: "Don't get drunk again and say we'll force you."

"whispering sound--!"

Atina spat lightly, withdrew her hand on the handle of the wine glass, folded her hands in front of her chest, and leaned against the back of the chair.

"So why are you here again? What about your harem? Is this a new flavor?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Sheld raised his eyebrows and was about to refute, but Hodge sat up again at some point and said seriously: "That's right, don't talk nonsense, this kind of thing has never been changed."

There is no crime of bigamy in another world. You can marry as many as you want. As long as you have the ability and charm, even a woman can have several husbands. This is the countess of Bella Empire. She has three husbands. husband.

It is because of this system that those who can marry one more are rarely exchanged, and those who cannot marry more are not capable of exchanging.

Of course, the poor end up being monogamous.

"Cough cough cough... Let's not talk about this, we came here from the dwarves by detour, and originally wanted to go back to the empire through the Demon Realm... But I am more worried about your situation than our situation."

Shield looked at Hodge.

"Me? My sister?"

Hodge pointed to himself.

"Of course I'm worried about your sister. After all, she's homeless now, and she's also worried about you. Why did you run out during the war? I remember you said that your elder brother asked you to find a job?"

Sheld still remembers Hodge's elation when he came out of the City Lord's Mansion after solving the "primitive monster Parasage" when he was in Baishi Port.

"Maybe I'm not suitable?"

Hodge scratched his head in embarrassment: "I've found myself, I can't sit still."

Soon, the waiter in the tavern brought some grilled meat, grilled fish, and fruits.

What's interesting is that the appetites of the four people are not very strong right now.

"Why don't you eat?"

Hodge took the lead in picking up a red-looking fruit, wiped it casually, and began to nibble on it.

Atina: "I have a normal appetite."

Shield: "Me too."

Ix: "..."

Sheld and Ix are both used to eating delicacies created on the table these days.

Let them eat this again, but it feels like emergency rations.

As for Atina, her eyes kept drifting over the drink, obviously she had no intention of eating.

At this moment, a strong man led two small men and a woman in. They laughed wantonly and talked about something. They looked like mercenary adventurers in their clothes.

Hodge stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Stop!"

"???"

All eyes in the tavern were on Hodge, including the group of people who came in.

The strong man looked around, confirmed that the direction Hodge was looking at was the group of them, and walked over with a grin on his face. His swaying figure was like a giant bear, making one wonder if it might be some barbaric human lineage.

Sheld still remembered that the bandit leader he dealt with when he first came to this world was of this size.

When the other party approached, the smoky body odor made Sheld lean towards the side unconsciously.

"Is there something you want from us, kid?"

The thick finger poked Hodge's chest and nodded: "Or, if you want to give yourself a chance, buy us some wine?"

Hodge pinched the opponent's fingers, and looked over the strong man to the waist of one of the small men behind: "I'm afraid that sword is not yours, is it?"

"Ok?"

The burly man stared and exhaled heavily: "The blackmail is on us? You don't want to say it's yours, do you?"

"It's not mine, but it's my sister's!"

"you……!"

As soon as the words fell, a long sword was already lying across the strong man's neck, and the dark blade seemed to swallow up all the surrounding light.

Ix turned her head and looked at Sheld: "What's next?"

Volume 179 Rising Storms: Chapter 75 Chapter [-] The Missing Tebetha

"Boss!"

"What are you doing, bastard!"

"do not come!"

Paro, that is, the strong man quickly stopped the younger brothers behind him, because the blade at the throat had been pressed down, and a stream of heat began to ooze from the neck. He had no doubt that these younger brothers of his would take another step forward , your head will be separated from your body.

"But, boss..."

"Tell you not to come here! You can't fucking understand, can you?!"

Cold sweat dripped from Paro's forehead.

God knows why this pink-haired girl who looks weird is so fast, and her eyes... what are they?From the corner of Paro's eye, he could barely see the other's pupil, which was a six-pointed star.

In fact, if you have to say it, Ix is definitely not fast. It was Sheld's intention to let Ix do this.

He had already read it in advance. The people Hodge "provoked" were all ordinary people, and none of them had agility of 10 points. Agility is at least 10 o'clock.

In the eyes of ordinary people, of course it is fast.

Of course, to Shield's surprise, Ix's sword was very accurate.

The sword is not very good, so I dare not play like this. With such a quick and fierce force, the blade directly rubs against the neck of the person, and it is not bad at all.

"This is 'I don't like swords'. It is often heard that the big guys like Versailles. I have seen it."

Sheld sat down on the table, and the surrounding guests had already sneaked away when they were making a fuss, including the boss himself who hid behind the counter.

The whole tavern became quiet.

"I don't know which sword skill is better between you and Neveu?"

"she."

Ix replied without thinking.

"Huh..."

Sheld was not surprised at all. After all, swordsmanship is what Neveu eats, and the passive blessing of swordsmanship proficiency is not for nothing.

He turned his gaze to Hodge again, raised his head and said, "You can ask now."

"Thank you."

After Hodge thanked him, he fixed his eyes on Paro: "Explain why my sister Tabetha's sword is on your body?"

"I don't know! We picked it up!"

"Picked it up? Where is it?"

"Where? I don't know... Wait! Wait!" Feeling the tingling in his throat, Paro hurriedly yelled: "Where did you pick it up! Where did you pick it up, Vasham, you bastard!"

"Near the old mine not far from here! I swear to the gods, I really picked it up!"

The short man with the saber in his hand frantically untied the sword from his waist, and handed it over carefully. Sheld caught it for Hodge, held it in his hand and looked it over.

He has no impression of Taibeisha's saber, but according to his vague memory, he can only say that the color matching is somewhat similar.But the name engraved on the hilt of the sword undoubtedly identified its owner, it was Tabetha.

It's a pity that Si Dike is not around now, otherwise it would be easy to judge whether the other party picked it up or what, whether she lied or concealed something.
