…
As the boss of Kurast adventure, Kurt led the most powerful adventure team to challenge Mephisto. It was natural to make friends in Kurast. In less than half a day, they heard the news of Lucia. [m]/
\"" The boy Karla returned a few days ago and reportedly saw the Lucia squad under the ancient Kurast. "Kutt stuffed his fruit into his mouth very insignificantly, the food was drizzling, the juice was splashing, and he was talking to me about the intelligence.
\"The southwestern area of the lower level of ancient Kurast?"
Thinking about the news that Kurt passed back, I suddenly had a tearful feeling. It seems that I have not been to the lower level of ancient Kurast...
\"I said to you boy, why can I see you every time I come to Kurast, no need to work?" I glared at Kurt, who took the fruit with big fists as grapes.
\"Where is the boss, aren't we preparing? It won't take a while to bring Mephisto's head back." Kurt said gruffly.
\"Don’t be a black man by Mephisto."
I immediately sneered and thought of the lightning over the city of God's Punishment. I don't know which one is more depressing than Mephisto's lightning attack?
When I came to Fini last time, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to take Linya to go around in Kurast, so I decided to take a day off and take Linya to go around, and I also sorted out in the library. Rust's cottage.
Because things seemed to be in a hurry over Harogas. So we dare not stay longer. The next day, he prepared to go to the lower level of ancient Kurast. See if you can find Lucia. No local words. He had no choice but to go to Hararos and fumble.
unexpectedly. Just when we were ready to step into the transfer station. Go to the lower level of Kurast-cough. of course. I didn't light up Kurast's lower teleportation point. But the mage at the teleportation site is much more frightening than the one at the group of fortresses. The names of the elders and the mission place appeared at once. Log in to us immediately.
As we plan to step into the transfer station. The transmission station flashed white light. Get out a few people. Face each other. All froze.
has nowhere to go compared to breaking iron shoes. It is more satisfying to get it without any effort. Of course, the previous sentence was erased. No need to find. Come to the door automatically. This one in 10,000 probability is less than ground. Should I say a miracle or something?
Aren't our negative character turning right again in an instant?
stood before our eyes. It was the Lucia team. The four of them came back in practice. There was still weariness on his face. Even Lucia's charming and charming face. It seemed a bit bleak.
She hurried out of the transfer station, and now she was in front of her figure, could not help raising her head, her eyes were facing for a moment, Lucia's discolored face suddenly brightened, and the dazzling made it a bit impossible to remove her eyes, especially Those big, flexible eyes, which were still a bit unremarkable, turned now cleverly like little foxes.
\"Bad guy, why are you, when someone just came back, are you going to go out and practice?"
said, took my arm and looked grievously, if I didn't know her little devil's character, I'm afraid I was going to be cheated immediately and made countless promises.
\"No, I just wanted to find you, and you came back." I smiled and swiped my hand, inevitably touching past her proud chest, like a soft pudding, slightly bounced I moved a few times, and my heart couldn't help but shake, this pleasant little fox...
Listen to me, the little fox was suddenly surprised, and then the smile was more charming: \"Bad guy, you have learned sweet words at any time, saying, is it because you are behind other girls and intend to sneak in?"
Khan, why am I honestly not being believed? Helplessly looked at Linya next to her, and now she was wrinkling her delicate nose, her eyes wandering between Lucia and me. The charming breath from Lucia made Linya very threatening. .
At this time, Lucia only showed Linya standing next to me, and looked up and down.Although she was still smiling, she was still alert, as if she could see a pair of fox ears standing high, especially when her eyes fell on Linya. When face and chest, vigilance is even greater.
\"Zhizi"
Women's crossbows spread between two people. The most important feature of this kind of confrontation is that a little dull man can't feel it at all.
Obviously, all the men on the ground, including the Druid White Wolf, Paladin Malagueby, and Mage Cook, are not playboys, lovers, and they are still ignorant of Lucia and Linya’s sudden consciousness of confrontation. I don't know.
\"Brother Wu, is that what you said about Sister Lucia?"
With a bright and moving smile, Linya naturally asked me by holding my hand.The pure smile like a hundred flowers blooming, noble and gorgeous, but also feeling kind, made the three big men behind Lucia in a trance, Unexpectedly, there are even better girls than Lucia.
Purely speaking of beauty, Linya will undoubtedly be slightly better than Lucia.
Looking at the two people holding them naturally, Lucia can't help but gritted her teeth, two cute little dog teeth looming silently.
Isn't the old lady's soft embrace comparable to one of her hands?
\"Bad guys, what about the girl like an angel last time?"
Lucia looked around curiously and asked in surprise, using the enemy to fight the enemy, it is undoubtedly the best way, but every time I recall the holy posture of a girl like a sky, Lucia will surge. She sighed Furu's frustration, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to Lucia, who had absolute confidence in her charm.
\"Sister Lucia, do you mean Alice? She didn't come this time." I just opened my mouth to answer, but Lin Ya's little hand tightened slightly, and the answer was the first, the softer the smile on her face.
\"Original...Originally like this..."
Lucia said sullenly, this is good, the original two
Really know that Lucia has a kind of feeling in the heart that carried a stone and hit her own foot
The first round of confrontation, Linya won.
\"What, are you going to Harogas?" At the corner of the bar, Lucia looked at me with her eyes wide open, and her three teammates also looked the same.
\"Well, complete the mission entrusted by the alliance."
I will give a brief account of Akala. Of course, I did not say anything about the problems that occurred in Harogas. Even I myself don’t know what is wrong.
\"So it turns out."
Lucia thought, thinking of the other party's terrifying strength in the battle with Gamorro, and then it was relieved that such power was indeed enough to rampage in Harogas.
\"You little fox is a member of the fox family, so I would like to ask you to lead the way." I cheeked up and said pleasedly.
\"I'm afraid it's more than that." This clever little fox seemed to see through my mind and gave me a charming look.
If it is said to lead the way, in fact, this little fox is not absolutely necessary. What I am looking for is her identity as a fox. She has a lofty status in the fox family, just like the sage of the human land, with her friendship, Naturally, you can quickly obtain the approval of the Fox family.
\"Hey, how about it, can you do me a favor?" Sticking to the principle of cheeky, good handling, facing the little fox's deep and attractive eyes that seemed to see through the heart, I was not blushing and gasping.
\"That’s why, let me think about it carefully, maybe this trip will take months of hard work, and I have to draw down some experience, and Harogas is so cold, people are most afraid of it. I will readm" said, still holding his petite and plump body tightly, making a fearful look, and looked at me pitifully.
Whoever lied, but I have never heard that foxes are still afraid of cold. I rolled my eyes and knew that this greedy little fox did not want to work in vain. ,
\"Okay, don’t pretend, just ask for it." I put my body up and tapped the index finger gently on the wooden table, and immediately entered the hidden super merchant mode, gaining a +5 bargaining skill bonus.
\"I haven’t thought of it for the time being, what if you owe me five conditions?"
The little fox also brought a smile on his face, and put the petite upper body up, less than a decimeter from my face.The exhaled aroma hit the face, itchy, a pair of cute little dog teeth It was even when the tempting red lips lighted up that she was looming, making her smile like a profiteer cute.
\"One!"
We have been tested by Sarah and the Little Ghost. Naturally, we will no longer be tempted by the charming charm and cuteness of our eyes, and we will calmly move the merchant skills.
\"Five!" The little fox is calm.
\"One!" I clenched my teeth.
\"Six!" The little fox's heart was drastically poisoned, and even took the opportunity to increase the price.
\"Two!" This was the last concession, and there was no such shop after this village. I told the little fox with firm eyes.
\"Seven!" The little fox raised his eyebrows proudly, with a gesture of selling instead of selling.
\"Three!" Roaring, jumping off the building, and jumping off the building when no one else buys it.
\"Five." It seemed that I was calmed by my tragic misfortune. The little fox was relieved, but then showed a regretful look.
\"Well, five is five."
I quickly covered her tempting little mouth, fearing she would spit out a character from the inside, and as a result, I saw the cunning color in her eyes.
Damn, did this little fox's bargaining skill reach the MAX level? !
Frustrated, he moved his big hand away from the lips of the little fox, and felt the delicate soft, warm and humid breath in his palm left.
Linya at the side looked at me with a funny and helpless gaze, clearly saying that Brother Wu's bargaining level is so bad, it is easily put in the palm of others.
Huh? Is my basic bargaining level actually-grade?
Lucia's business is done, I will look at her three followers.
\"Do you have any plans?"
\"If you can, of course, go with them." Lucia replied for them, saying she was patting the white wolf on the shoulder.
\"Don’t underestimate the white wolf, he is also a half orc, maybe he can help you by then."
\"Oh?" I put my surprised eyes on a cool white wolf.
\"I am a hybrid of wolf race and human."
The white wolf nodded silently, the reputation of the half-breed on the mainland is not very good, and it is no wonder that the white wolf usually looks like a stranger.
As for Cook and Malagueby, half of their teams have gone. It seems that it is not good to leave the two in Kurast. Forget it, go together and go, anyway, you can’t spend a few gems. .
The Lucia squad just came back from training. They were exhausted both physically and mentally. Naturally, it was impossible to come out with us immediately. This little fox, in the name of saving rent, turned my villa into his own fox den and cut it.
At night, the moon over the forest, like a hazy red mist, illuminates the entire swamp in an extremely peaceful and dangerous way. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, I looked at the forest in the distance and sighed.
\"Brother Wu, what are you thinking about?"
The Linya model in a simple nightgown appeared from behind, and the tender eyes looked at me.There was no corset in the nightgown.The tall peak of the breast, even when standing still, seemed to follow the slight Breathing and trembling with a wonderful arc.
Brother Wu, you...! ! "
saw me staring at her for a while, Linya shyly guarded her chest tightly with her arms, and gave me an angry look.
smiled a little, and I pulled Linya into my arms, lips licking on the beautiful face.
\"I was thinking, would you like to visit the fiancee who never met?"
Linya remembered that I still have such a relationship with the elf queen, and I will take care of me seriously
thought, and then nodded: \"I think, since I’m here, I still have to look."
The so-called etiquette? It is worthy of the talents taught by the big family, but...
\"Forget it, anyway, they are just to ease the relationship between the two races. My prince, for them, is basically irrelevant, whether to go or not..." Suddenly, I continued with a smile.
\"Maybe when I get married in the cave, I will be kicked out by the fiancee."
\"Puff-puff, that's really possible." Lin Ya laughed suddenly, under the quiet night, as charming and charming as the same blooming night rose.
\"Forget it, don’t think about those messy things anymore, long nights are short, Linya Xiaomei, let me have fun with my brother, hehehe..."
smiled in color, in Lin Ya's weak resistance, I kissed the delicate mouth, under the night, the two bodies hugged tightly together, without a gap...
This little fox sleeps for two days. After waking up, she is not afraid of fearing her, and her face is reddish. After all, any girl does not want others to think that she is sleepy and lazy, of course, except for a ghost.
Afterwards, the white wolves also woke up, and the three were able to let go, especially the Paladin Malagueby.After getting up, they also put a loud stinky fart, shouted, and then they were unbearably small The fox punched out of the house.
\"I really don’t want to go to that ghost place so early."
bought a few sets of cold protection in the trading market, as well as some travel essentials, and came outside to the Master Guild. The little fox complained quietly as he covered the dense cotton pie.
\"Are you really afraid of cold?"
I turned around and reached out to touch the little fox's forehead cleanly. She might have broken her brain.
\"If you have the ability, just like the barbarians, run around shirtless, you will not die, and you will choke you." The little fox wrinkled his nose, snapped my hand, and said with anger .
\"才怪."
Rolled my eyes, put on the clothes prepared by Velas, and the six of them stepped into the teleportation array together.
The white light rose. At the next moment, my body suddenly shook, as if suddenly falling into the ice cellar. I could clearly feel the goose bumps rising from the skin wrapped in the clothes because of the huge temperature contrast.
The ubiquitous cold breath, straight through the dense clothing quilt, it is a kind of extreme cold, the air in the nose is like two ice skates, it has been scraped from the nostril through the breathing tube, and then Into the lungs, and then spread to the whole body, even if it is a risky system, suddenly come to this environment, it is very easy to feel unwell.
\"Oh~~It’s a long-lost temperature."
Lucia on the side sneered and murmured tremblingly, but at the next moment, she became energized, her arms stretched out, with a smile of cute smile, shouted loudly .
\"My Lucia, I’m back again." He said, his hip little slightly bulged out, and a fluffy colored fox tail was drilled from inside, and the snow hat on the top of her head was also thrown away by her, a pair of hairs The velvet cute fox ears appeared out of nowhere with a whizzing noise, shaking tremblingly playfully.
From the moment she revealed the characteristics of the fox clan, her whole body exuded an indescribable charming atmosphere, which caused the eyes of everyone around to be dull at the same time.
Fortunately, we had seen her fatal temptation when her three tails came out, and she woke up instantly. She looked at the little fox strangely, and stretched her hands to the ears above her head involuntarily.
\"So cute."
\"Really? Hehehe!!"
The little fox lowered his head embarrassedly, and was very happy. The plush ears kept shaking as her emotions rose, making her more lovely.
\"Children, welcome to Harrogas."
An old voice suddenly sounded in the dim house, and I remembered that I had arrived at the Magister Guild of Harogas.
Eyes fell on the talker, what appeared to me was an old woman, a slight camel, with a cane in his hand, a white snow, and tight wrinkles on her face, indicating that she had entered her age. Twilight years.
From her, I felt a faint, but very similar breath to Akara, that is a kind of high-grade, people can not ignore the majesty, so even if this is the first time I saw this old woman, I also Immediately guessed her identity.
\"Hello, Marla!"
I respectfully saluted her, thinking of this old man, even after dismissing the position of elder elder, he still insisted on coming to this kind of bitter cold place that he can't even bear, helping those suffering. This kind of noble sentiment made me awe in awe.
\"Your name, I have heard of it for a long time. Before this old bone is decayed, I can see it. My old lady is also comforting."
Mara smiled with Akara's colors, hehe laughed, it is conceivable that when she used to work, she must be the same old fox as Akara, and even Akara's smile, or imitate what she learned.
\"Granny Mara."
The voice of the little fox sounded, but she was more enthusiastic, and when she got up, she hugged Marathi's skinny arm and spread it intimately. It seemed to be an old acquaintance.
\"Grandma Marla, my family is okay."
\"Oh, okay, okay, but since your little fox left, the young men of your family have less work." Mara chuckled.
\"I originally thought that it was the little drunkard of Kasha. I didn’t expect that Akara would send you over. However, since it was her idea, I am afraid that you already have the strength to be alone. The alliance can have talents like you. It’s really gratifying."
\"Master Mara has won the prize. Compared to Kasha, my strength is still worse." While responding, I began to look at the surrounding scenery.
There is no doubt that the Master Guild is right, but it feels like the inside of a huge grotto,
Under the magical lights, there are layers of ancient rocks on all sides, revealing:
The natural simplicity, of course, the cold that permeates from these stones also makes people tremble coldly.
\"However, it is not a coincidence that you came, it just happened to catch up with the snowstorm of the snowy mountains, and it seems that you have to be trapped here for a while." Mara said suddenly.
\"Blizzard?" I was a little surprised: \"How long will it last?"
\"It’s hard to say, maybe a day or two, maybe half a month, but I think there will be a lot of people who hope this blizzard will last longer. Although they can’t do anything in the blizzard, they must endure hunger, but monsters It's the same, at least when the snowstorm is blowing, those poor villages are safe."
It seems that in order to confirm what Mara said, the group of seven of us slowly walked out of the faint magi guild. The huge closed wooden door in front of us slowly shivered as we arrived. When the first crack appeared, The daytime white dazzling light came in, and a cold and extremely cold air could not wait to squeeze in through the gap, making us tremble again, holding the warm clothing tightly, and the thin horse pulled out It’s not strange that she wears less clothes than us.
When the door is fully opened, what is presented in front of us is a world of white flowers and flowers.The storm, which is like a substance, with a sky of snowflakes, forms a chilling world of ice and snow. The strong cold wind is like an infinite Like the endless roaring dragon, it slammed into the door and screamed at us.The exposed cheeks actually had a slight sense of numbness by the ice skates-the temperature was too low, so that the face hurt The ground feels numb.
I now know that what I have just stayed in was originally thought to be a general guild like a large ice cellar. Compared to the snow world outside, it turned out to be so warm and pleasant.
\"If you don’t mind, come to live with me first. After the blizzard stops, take a good look at the whole Harogas. Maybe you can also find some other beautiful things from this bitter cold place."
Mara looks like his own child, looking at the outside world tenderly, and then taking a step, first entered the chaotic and disorderly world of snow and ice, and the snow instantly submerged her thin figure.
We also followed up quickly, for fear of being lost and lost in this snow-white world.
Although the wind is violent and the snow is cold, but we are also risky anyway. After preliminary adjustments, we quickly adapted to this climate.However, this weather is really uncomfortable, and I brought Linya over, Holding her little hand and looking at her with concern, she shook her head, her face red and cold, and a different kind of tenderness.
When it was the little fox, the childish, jumping and jumping along the way, running around, occasionally rubbing a snow ball on the ground, smashing towards us, like a naughty and active little fox, making people cry and laugh I was also envious.
The snow-white world, regardless of upper, lower, southeast, and northwest, can only occasionally glimpse the faint figure of the building from the white snowflakes.Fortunately, the horses and horses know their way, and they seem to be able to reach their homes without their eyes. Behind her, after a long walk, she finally stopped in front of a rough old stone house.
\"Finally arrived, I thought this old bone would freeze to the outside."
Mara laughed and said with a smile, stretched out the skinny five fingers that were not stiff and froze at all, pushed the heavy wooden door open, and the seven-mermaid entered the house, and immediately closed the door tightly, just for a short time, the door A two-finger wide layer of snow had already accumulated in the area. The snowstorm encountered in the icy field of Camp Roger was almost nothing compared to the present.
Entering the hut, we seemed to have returned to the original world from that white world.We exhaled in unison and took away the thick snow on our body, there was a rustle, and a pile of high snow left on the ground .
I looked at the little fox whose pretty face was cold and still showing an expression of excitement and excitement. I couldn't help but squeezed her cold face and asked.
\"Don’t you say you are afraid of the cold? I think that you are the happiest?"
\"Go, whoever is afraid can’t like it. I’m afraid of cold and I like heavy snow. Is there anything wrong?"
The little fox shuddered with a pair of furry outer brown inner white cute ears, and the fluffy and soft tail behind flicked back and forth, and a pair of little canine teeth grinned demonstratively to me.
\"When you are cold, wouldn't you curl up your tail and cover it with a quilt." I couldn't help asking when she looked at her big tail that looked like a fox fur scarf would be very warm.
\"How do you know that this is the warmest...?" Lucia froze for a moment, and then saw how we suddenly realized, only to know that she was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help getting angry.
\"Brood, my old lady fights with you!!!" As he said, the teeth of the open teeth flew towards me.
\"Okay, everyone, please be quiet, don't quarrel with the patient upstairs." Mara laughed and watched us making troubles, until she made a noise, she stopped.
\"Patient?"
Under the dim light, I carefully looked at the layout of the room at this time. This was supposed to be a rectangular hall, estimated to be two or three hundred square meters in size, but on both sides it was filled with shelves and wooden cabinets. A narrow two-meter wide aisle is left. Perhaps ordinary people will think that two meters is not narrow, but think about it, most of the people living here are barbarians who are tall and unreasonable.
The wooden cabinets on both sides of the shelf are filled with bottles, pots and cans, and there is a smell of potions and herbs, which is very similar to Akara's tent.
\"Master Mara also works as a consumable supply merchant?" I looked at the layout and asked casually.
\"Oh, people are old, they just can’t stay idle, they always want to do something." Mara responded with a smile.
\"I also open a hotel part-time?"
I saw the stairs at the end of the aisle, and then recalled the glance before entering the door. This stone house is very large and there are clearly as many as three or four floors.
\"Not really." Xiaohu
Responded first, with a respectful tone in his tone.
\"Master Mara is the most powerful pharmacist in Hararogas. If there is any disease, as long as it is sent to her, the storage can be cured, and the rooms upstairs are wards."
It turns out that even the little fox is so respectful of Mara, I can already imagine how high her status is in Harogas.
At this moment, the tight knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Open the door, a tall figure standing outside the door, almost blocking the wind and snow from the outside from the outside for a very long time, look closely, it is a thick barbarian almost three meters high, tall leather boots, round The top hat, the most striking thing is that he was a thin animal skin coat, and the left half of the arm came out, solidly like an iron casting, and the outside snowstorm scraped on him, just like hitting a towering high The walls are average.
\"Master Mara, Kells's old problems are done again..."
The door had just opened, and the tall barbarian couldn't help speaking, and he could see the anxiety in his heart.
\"Mara nodded, put on the hat that he just took off and put it back on. He looked back at us:\"Boy, the room on the third floor is still empty, you go to rest first, remember not to wake up the patient on the second floor . "
said that he followed behind the tall barbarian and disappeared into the vast white.
\"Master Mara, is really a respectable hero." Looking at the white world outside the door blankly, Lin Ya felt a sense, and everyone nodded in unison.
The next day, the blizzard was still there, Mara called us and began to tell us in detail about the recent incident of Haralgas.
\"The barbarian is missing?" I summed it up in a simple sentence.
\"Yes, it's missing." Mara certainly strengthened the tone of the word "missing".
The barbarians are naturally brave and fearless to death, so even a small barbarian village has a good combat strength. Of course, this does not mean anything. The monsters of Harrogas are not vegetarian. During the battle, the barbarians sometimes sacrificed.
However, if it is said that the barbarian was killed, it is not surprising, but it is missing, it is awkward, for example, a piece of cake on the table disappeared, you said the cake was eaten or taken by others That's nothing, but you said the cake ran away on its own legs, isn't that strange?
\"For this matter, I also asked a few trusted adventure teams to start investigating, but I couldn’t preach it. You also know the barbarians’ temper. If you let them know that their compatriots were captured, they will definitely run away. At that time, the casualties will be even greater, so I only ask the camp."
\"So it turned out..." I thought about it for a while.
'S top priority is to first investigate the whereabouts of the missing savages and to confirm whether they survive [eternal life]. Let them rescue them first.
\"You are right, I have just asked the Second World to see if I can send a few fighters to come back to assist. Presumably if the missing barbarians are still alive, it is not difficult to rescue them." Marla sighed In one breath.
\"My biggest worry is that behind the scenes of this whole thing, who is it and what do I want to do?"
If there is no command, these monsters without wisdom, then you may want to get advanced means such as "live catching", then why do you want to go back to live catching? Raw stew won't taste better.
\"Everything is still waiting for the blizzard to stop, maybe after that, you should visit more in Harogas, meet some people, the barbarian blacksmith Rasuk in the northwest of Harogas, in Haroga Si has a very high status. I suggest you take a task with him. The barbarians are proud races. They will only admit that they are strong. If you want to be welcomed as an adventure in Hararogas, please go there. trip."
finished, Mara walked away with a cane.
Linya and I glanced at each other with a helpless sigh. It seems that this task will not be easy. After a discussion, we found the Lucia team and explained the situation to them.
\"So, we still have a mission now, and we are going to the time of the orc, I am afraid to postpone it a little bit, what are your plans now?" I looked at the eyes of the four people, I asked in a deep voice.
\"Since this is the case, I will go back to the Fox Race first."
Luxia thought for a while and replied that although she had the intention to complete the mission with the other party, she also knew that she would go to the Hararogas level adventure area at her current level.
\"I also want to go back and take a look..."
White Wolf's eyes are a bit melancholy, I don't know what he is thinking. Go to Lucia and the White Wolf to have an orc N-day tour.
\"Since everyone has made a decision, then it is so settled, ah, don’t forget to come back as soon as possible. If we complete the task and can’t find you, the loss will be great."
I looked at the two cute little trembling ears on top of the little fox's head. Somehow, I had a soft spot for the pair of ears.
\"Huh, I know you are just trying to use me." The little fox snorted sniffingly, now that my eyes were there, shaking his ears more proudly.
\"How can I say this, but I paid four gems, and there are still five conditions for the price, bringing you over, you have to gain something, this is an equivalent transaction...... No, it is not equivalent at all. Every time you trade, you take the advantage." I stared desperately at the little fox.
Reminisced about the first meeting, the little fox smiled warmly in his heart, but his delicate nose was raised high: \"Who makes you this stupid?"
talked and turned around in my raging glare.
Good opportunity to grab the ear claw hand! !
\"How many times have I said that I can no longer touch my ears without permission and die!!"
On the fourth day, the snowstorm finally passed...
