NOVEL NEXT Chapter 35: Chapter 35
"Hello, ma'am, would you mind giving me a ride?"
The morning glow hit Luo Qixi's face, and the orange flames danced in her pupils.
"good."
——
Graylat's house.
Lilia, Ceness, Paul, Rudy, and Sylphy all stared at the letter on the table in astonishment.
——
master:
I went to clean up the maned wolf.
It takes at least one month and at most two months, and you will be back soon.
Um. Sorry, I don't want to leave without saying goodbye, but if I bring it up directly you'll probably detain me.
Don't worry, I can take care of myself.
In addition: You don't have to pay these two months' wages, and it doesn't matter if you deduct a few more months.
Allen stayed.
——
Give me sweetness! Continue tomorrow!
Chapter 50 Are You Really Just Going to Give Me a Ride?
"Why don't you let someone give you a ride?"
Luo Qixi pursed her lips and looked at Alan, who was slumped on the seat of the carriage with a knife in his arms.
"I! I thought you wanted to go with me as an adventurer, but you..."
After getting in the carriage, Alan explained to Loki that he was there to give her a ride. This immediately made Loki, who was full of joy, angry. She didn't want to look at the scumbag anymore. She turned her head to look out the window of the carriage, muttering incoherently.
"You couldn't find anyone when you were seeing someone off, but now you're still seeing someone off. You might as well go with them. You'll have to go back after sneaking out for a while."
Alan couldn't help but find it funny looking at Lokisi's expression. He naturally understood that Lokisi, who had been lonely for a long time, mistakenly thought that he had figured it out, so he accepted her proposal two months ago to become adventurers together.
You are wanted anyway, so it's better to go away, right?
But with Allen's current condition, it's really not good enough, after all, he is involved in the Re:Zero event and is stuck here.
He shook his head. "Since I sneaked out, I definitely won't escort you just part of the way. Didn't you say a week ago that there were thieves blocking the road outside of Rigate? Since this incident was caused by me, it's reasonable for me to escort you to Rigate safely. You killed their people last time. If you are stopped again this time, there are many people on the other side and even some skilled swordsmen. What will you do?"
Luo Qixi suddenly turned her head to look at Allen, her expression a little dull. Although she felt that Allen was making excuses, it seemed quite reasonable at first glance. Just when she was about to think about it, Allen spoke again.
"The base of their bandit gang is obviously engaged in smuggling business. Slave trading is a foregone conclusion. If you are caught, will we meet again on the slave black market? Or in an area with young girls? Ouch!"
As she spoke, Loki kicked Alan in annoyance, then turned her head and continued to look out the carriage window.
Alan blinked and saw that Lokixi was fooled by him and obviously no longer questioned whether it was reasonable to send her out of the city of Rigate. He silently breathed a sigh of relief and decided that he would do the task of cleaning up the maned wolves by himself.
First, I didn't want to cause any more trouble for Luo Qixi. And if I said it clearly, Luo Qixi might ask to go with me. Mother Lan was too kind.
And last night before going to bed, Allen thought carefully and set a rule for his subsequent behavior:
While maintaining the original storyline as much as possible, you can brush up your score to get extra rewards for the full score of each major event. If there is a fierce conflict between the previous and the latter, it is better to give up the full score reward than to incite the butterfly effect at will.
From a rational point of view, the future vision of the novel has more bugs, which is more stable than the income from the points reward.
So Allen made a judgment: the butterfly effect regarding Roxy should end here, and we should try to avoid the risk that Roxy's additional actions will affect the development of future story lines.
Secondly, Alan alone is enough. No master above Saint level would hang out in a dark rat's den of the underground world like the Thieves' Gang. And if there are any Saint level masters, they must be around the leader of the Thieves' Gang. They would not be sent to the forest to do such a thing at such a high cost.
It's the perfect whetstone for an early childhood without too much conflict.
But it's not just for sharpening his claws. Allen's trip is also to prevent the bandit gang from gathering information and possibly finding Buena Village. This gray area bandit gang has many enemies. Even if their base is destroyed, as long as no one is left alive and no traces are burned, the possibility of suspecting Allen is very small.
In this way, all the variables in childhood are reversed.
Alan looked up at Lokixi, whose expression had improved a lot, and laughed.
"But if we become adventurers together, there will be opportunities in the future, I promise. I am still too young now, and you also know that I am wanted, so I will definitely not go home to inherit the family business. In this case, after three or four years, I will continue to hone my swordsmanship with Master Paul, and then I will go to find you to become an adventurer together, okay?"
"It's a good idea to work with Luo Qixi after the big transfer. I can also use the location search function to avoid the embarrassing situation of passing each other at the port in the original storyline. Not bad."
Loki glanced at Alan and suddenly remembered that Alan was only nine years old. Usually, because he was tall and behaved very maturely, Loki always subconsciously ignored his age.
".I almost forgot you are only nine years old. Your smooth talk really doesn't seem like a nine-year-old."
Alan's face fell.
"How can I be so glib?"
Luo Qixi stared at him for a long time without saying anything, but when she spoke, she changed the subject.
"But I don't have enough food."
Upon hearing this, Alan took out a can of Batir silk flower seed powder from his pocket and said excitedly.
"Look! I've prepared it. Don't you like sweet and spicy food? I can hunt monsters for you and roast them."
Alan was halfway through his words when he saw Loki looking at the Batir Silk Flower Seed Powder with a strange expression on his face, and his face froze.
"It's over. I always forget that taking too much of this stuff can cause fainting. I thought I wouldn't see Luo Qixi in the next few years? But now I see her!! Wait! Has she fainted? ! ? "
Lokixi half-closed her eyes and said nothing, her eyes constantly wandering between the jar and Alan's face, and finally she curled her lips.
".I didn't even mention it, and you still have the nerve to bring it up on your own initiative."
".Let me explain this to you."
Halfway through his words, he saw Luo Qixi open the suitcase, take out a completely empty can from it, scratching his face with a red face.
"Although it seems to have some improper uses, it is really delicious. Fortunately, I know detoxification magic. But I have to warn you in advance that I will use detoxification magic on myself every time I eat it!"
'What do you mean it seems to have some improper uses?! If I really want to use it for something else, why not just buy aphrodisiacs?! There's no need to explain the detoxification magic! Can I hold your hand and stop you from using detoxification magic? And why do I have to emphasize this matter specifically! Do I look like a flower thief?!? Huh? ? ? '
Alan looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched, he had many complaints in his heart but couldn't say them out loud, so he could only speak in silence.
"That really should be detoxified."
"Give it to me. When I want to pack it up and eat it, you can ask me for it again to prevent you from using it everywhere."
".You just want to secretly take it for yourself, right?"
"No!"
——
Night, Buena Village.
Rudy stared at his boxer briefs in the shrine, stunned.
Chapter 51 Return Day, Hunting Time
The city of Regate is huge.
As a transportation hub for trade with the northern countries, relying on the geographical advantage of being connected to the upper jaw of the red dragon, it is an important export center of the Asura Kingdom. Villagers from the surrounding villages come to the city in groups by horse-drawn carriages to transport various crops and handicrafts day and night.
It is one of the epitomes of the prosperous commodity economy of the Kingdom of Asura.
Thanks to this, although it is only a border town of Rigate, the scale of Rigate City has exceeded that of the magic city of Sharia.
In the setting sun, Alan looked up at the tall city walls and couldn't help but sigh.
'In the original novel, this is one of the places where Asura passed through during the battle for the throne. It is larger than expected, about a quarter of the size of the capital.'
"Ai Allen!"
Alan lowered his head, pushed aside the ahoge on his face, and looked at Loki's upturned face.
I don't know if it's because of the afterglow of the setting sun, but her face looks red, like a ripe apple.
"It must have been a tiring journey. Do you want to rest for a night in Ligate City? You are such a fool. I just suddenly said I was a little hungry in the middle of last night, and you went out to kill two monsters and didn't even sleep when you came back. We were supposed to reach Ligate City tonight."
Loki's eyes were wandering, flickering left and right. Although she raised her head, she didn't look directly at Alan.
Alan smiled.
"No need, I'll return right away. I was lucky that I didn't encounter any thieves on the way."
Loki blinked and looked at Alan.
".Rush back overnight?"
"Yes, I rushed back overnight. It's been more than ten days. My uncle should be worried."
"this"
Alan looked at Lokixi who was shaking her head from side to side looking a little helpless, and couldn't help but reach out and flick the aho hair on her head, which caused Lokixi to roll her eyes and reach out to slap his hand away.
Very cute.
It is worth mentioning that during the past ten days, the two of them were together almost every day, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, and their relationship quickly warmed up, without the vague courtesy and alienation they had before.
At present, they can communicate in a relaxed manner without worrying about etiquette. Even when Alan teases Loki after she makes rash moves from time to time, he does not attract too much of the sense of "superior airs" of an elder.
Generally speaking, it is easy for a single man and a single woman who are not familiar with each other's living habits and then suddenly get closer to each other to develop a 'disenchantment' mentality, but Allen did not do that. Instead, he felt that Roxy, the blue mother, was more real.
She puffs her cheeks in anger when she is teased;
If you eat barbecue in a hurry, you will get burned and your mouth will sag and you will cry while you stuff the meat into your mouth.
When he deliberately puts on airs as a teacher and is ruthlessly exposed by Alan, he becomes furious and incoherent;
When she needs to go to the toilet or take a shower, her face will be flushed and she will ignore Alan's words for a short period of time.
Every morning when she wakes up, she seems unable to open her eyes, and her hands are very skillfully tending to her two aqua blue braids.
Amidst the confusion of thoughts, too many moments emerged and fell in Alan's mind. Although these scenes were not quite the same, one thing was certain.
This is a "god" who has fallen into the mortal world and has a sense of worldly affairs. He is not a "character" that feels a bit paper-like when reading his own novels.
Thinking of this, Alan came back to his senses and waved his hand in front of Loki's face.
"Well, it's time to say goodbye again."
Luo Qixi was stunned, and after a moment of silence, she nodded and subconsciously raised her hand and waved.
".goodbye."
Then Alan slapped her hand and she looked up in surprise.
Alan was seen patting Loki's palms gently with small patting movements, smiling brightly.
"I'm not very good at saying goodbye, so I'll see you in the future~"
The palm stopped, Alan withdrew his hand and waved, then turned around. His pockets were bulging with some food that Loki had left on purpose.
"Don't worry about my food problem. After all, I have survived in the wild in the forest for a long time. Let's go~"
Loki looked at Allen's back, then lowered her head to look at the hand that was slapped by Allen.
The afterglow of the setting sun cast a halo of light between her fingers. She subconsciously shook hands, then the corners of her lips slowly curled up, and she looked up at Alan again.
But before she could say goodbye again, Alan had already walked into the crowd. He seemed to notice Loki's gaze and did not look back, but just waved again.
The figure soon disappeared from Luo Qixi's sight. She blinked, a hint of belated confusion in her eyes.
"Why does it feel like Alan is in too much of a hurry? It's like..."
"It's like there's something urgent to deal with."
——
In the middle of the night, the mountain breeze blew through the forest, blowing leaves onto the narrow road beside the forest, with the moonlight shining on them.
Someone stepped on Yuebai and crushed it, then stopped.
Alan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and looked at the fence beside the road.
There was a deep scratch on the fence, and black carbon ash embers were faintly visible on the side, sputtering and spreading into the grass beside the road.
It was created by Loki's water ball after they came back from hunting monsters last night and made a fire to barbecue. It was three hours since they separated in the evening, and Alan had been running for almost midnight.
He returned to the place where he hunted monsters.
