Chapter six hundred and sixteen guide and respectively
Originally, I didn't plan to trouble the lord here. After all, having trouble wherever I go is not a good reputation.
But for some reason, I finally went to find trouble with her...
Well, she found me, even though she didn't mean to.
Since he has been marked with that inexplicable mark, instead of wasting time with those miscellaneous soldiers, it is naturally the best choice to go straight to Huanglong.
I originally planned to have a good fight with the Devourer of the Void, but I heard new news... I'm a little lucky that I've been either staying behind closed doors or in the wasteland outside the city these past few days, otherwise I would have met that guy.
On the contrary, it is difficult to deal with.
Especially when Casio is by your side, whether it's a happy reunion across the mountains or a slaying of grudges, the scene shouldn't be too beautiful.
When I learned that the Void Devourer was about four hundred meters tall, and its entire shape was roughly a spherical mouth, I admired his methods even more... I felt that his taste was getting stronger and stronger.
Being able to grow this Void Devourer from a small larva into a behemoth may be called "lucky Didina" by others, but I am becoming more and more interested in this extremely humble succubus in front of me.
"Tsk, is it fair to say that you are interested in other women when your real girlfriend is by your side? She is indeed a super scumbag just like that subordinate of yours."
"...You know that's not what I'm interested in. Also, don't compare me to that guy. I'm afraid I'll be implicated and beaten to death."
Dead Cat and Margaret have already searched the treasure trove of the city lord's castle, while Adam and I are responsible for guarding the succubus in front of us, but with her honest and responsible appearance, I somewhat doubt that the guard is unnecessary.
However, I still asked about some things, and this is the part that aroused my interest.
"...Didina, how old are you this year?"
The words fell to the ground. Xiao Hong, who was eavesdropping with pointed ears, was full of surprise, but the dead cat's vomiting came as expected.
"Zero points for this conversation."
"Shut up, you know that's not what I meant."
Generally speaking, the more powerful a creature is, the slower it will grow in its infancy. It takes a hundred years for dwarves and elves to reach adulthood. I don’t know how many years it takes for the Devourer of the Void, but based on rumors and the rarity of this thing, I can make some estimates.
Maybe this succubus is even older than Heloise.
If other demons can still understand, the species of succubus itself lacks fighting power, and many demons advance into succubi just for excessive use. Old succubi are really rare. Maybe in other places, age does not mean strength.
But in the abyss, living a long time itself is proof of strength.
"The combination of the Ancient One and the Succubus really aroused my interest. Maybe you can tell me how you survived in the abyss before your Void Devourer grew up."
"You really love to joke. As a succubus, is there a third way to survive besides relying on the strong?"
With just the right distance, a friendly but not flattering chuckle, and gentle etiquette, this ancient succubus makes people feel very attracted to her at first sight. If it weren't for her natural personality, she might have seen through my preferences. If this is also the case
As for a charm ability, I am afraid it has just become a legend.
I smiled and didn't pursue the matter. I didn't believe that an old guy like this could solve the problem with just a few words.
"Then, maybe we can talk about a business deal. You have probably noticed that none of us are natives of the Abyss..."
I have already had this idea. If I travel to other places, having a local person will save me a lot of trouble. At least I will not be tricked or lead to a dead end for no reason, especially when the world is so dangerous that there are death traps everywhere.
.
Every time you find a portal, you have to shout, kill, and fight a boss. This is no different from a robber who robs the entrance.
We need a native of the Abyss as a guide. The smarter and more experienced, the better. The old guy always knows a lot of secrets, perhaps information that everyone knew thousands of years ago, such as the personality of a certain lord.
Specialty product ability, but now it is top-secret information that is hard to buy for a lot of money. I don’t know when it will be put to great use.
As for how to make her obedient, there are many ways, and the other party is a succubus who is accustomed to relying on strong men, and seems to be easier to get along with than other demon races.
"So, have you heard of Arroyo? Please answer carefully. Lies may be useful to me, but if it underestimates your value, do you know who will be unlucky?"
I'm talking nonsense, but in the world of demons, there is no individual with any value and no reason to live. In her ears, this should be a naked death threat. Didina still can't figure out my character.
There shouldn't be any nonsense at that time.
Didina was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, closed her eyes, and seemed to be searching for this name in her memory.
"…….Wait."
As soon as I touched the hilt of the sword with my right hand, she immediately thought of it.
"It's better not to call such a being directly. If you must call it, please call His Highness the 'Eagle of Light'."
I laughed. It seemed that this was really an antique. Maybe it could be as "older" as Heloise.
"You were saying the word 'old', or comparing me to her, I just, I just..."
Heloise is very sensitive and caring, but for a long time she couldn't think of anything you could do to threaten me. Ha, I am already invincible.
"...I will send a clone to find Sad Wind back!"
"I was wrong! Please don't!"
Tsk, this trick is really a bit of a headache. Aren’t you afraid that your clone won’t come back?
"Don't be afraid! I'll just find a place to turn into a human form. Now my clone can also turn into a human form!"
It seems that at the epic level, Heloise's transformation and clone abilities have been strengthened again.
"This, this...isn't it possible to cosplay a ninjutsu shadow clone?"
"Clone technique? Of course. It only takes me an afternoon to read a library book by myself. I can also conduct large-scale experiments without an assistant. I'm envious."
"Tsk, that's not what I envy..."
[What you envy is not that you can cosplay the shadow clone, but that you can cosplay the harem technique.]
Ahem, what are you talking nonsense? Where would a gentleman like me think? System girl, you actually thought of that. You are really dirty.
[Tsk, just pretend. It’s not that. Why were you excited just now? 】
I pretended not to hear anything and turned my attention to other places. When I urgently contacted Adam and they attacked the city lord's castle, those young guys also followed.
"Young men of Silversworn Avengers, what are you going to do next?"
The strange name of the adventure team is the name of the adventure team that Casio is a part of. As for why this name was given and what the revenge is, since the person who named it has died, I am afraid it is destined to be impossible to know.
Next, we will step into the abyss even deeper. No one can predict what kind of opponents we will encounter, and we may not be able to take care of them by then.
Although he could be thrown directly into the bug world to save people if he was forced hard, but he was so far behind his opponent that he was instantly killed from the beginning, so there was no way he could be saved.
"Can I follow you? I long to follow you to find the true path to salvation."
Avila was the first to express her stance, but as expected, the awakening of the Holy Sword of Dawn that day shocked and hurt her. But it also caused a subtle mutation in the origin of her power. As a former paladin who had lost her faith and
It is probably instinct for fallen angels to chase light.
I did not express my position, but instead turned my attention to others.
"...I want to go back to my lord to report on my duties. But my lord also told me that if you need it, I will serve you."
The bearded dwarf priest looked like a martyr, as if he was mentally prepared to enter hell.
"I want to go back."
Elf mage Ultra looked determined.
"Together with my people, even if we are about to face... facing destruction."
Ultra lowered her hood, with a look of realization on her face that made her feel more like a martyr than that priest.
"Well, you can ask the succubus over there if there is a portal to the main plane nearby. Our team does need a cleric, but you don't have enough. Send a message to Bayana,
If she or anyone has someone suitable, send one to us."
I said casually, now it seems that I am the only healer in a group, which is indeed a little uncomfortable, but if we expect the dwarf priest in front of us to participate in our battle, we will risk his life.
"Casio?"
"I'll follow."
A very simple answer, which already showed my attitude. I nodded. Since we are old acquaintances, I don’t need to ask too many questions. He doesn’t seem to want to return to the surface yet... I seem to have forgotten that I haven’t told him that Sad Wind has come to the abyss.
Forget it, you probably won't encounter it.
And our current team is composed of powerful combat professions. It is true that we lack hunters, druids, and thieves who have the ability to survive in the wild and have strong intelligence gathering capabilities. If Casio follows us, at least our tracking and anti-tracking capabilities in the wild will not be as good as before.
It would look so amateurish.
"Okay, let's do it. Casio, Avella and I have agreed first. When you encounter a strong opponent, I want you to go to that world to take refuge. You must be obedient and you must not compromise on this."
The two nodded silently, expressing their obedience to the arrangement.
"Then, the next step is the most important thing..."
I deliberately amplified my voice to attract everyone's attention.
"...I, Roland Lan, will give our new adventure team a resounding name!"
"Don't!"
"No, I don't want to be laughed at anymore! Has your name ever been normal?"
In an instant, Adam covered his mouth and Xiaohong pressed on my head, as if he was afraid that I would say something.
What does it mean to have no normal name? The mercenary group I named is now the top mercenary group in the world. The mercenary gentleman spirit of honesty, trustworthiness, and confidentiality has been spread throughout the mercenary world!
[Are you sure that the gentleman’s spirit is related to the “gentleman” he was named back then? 】
"Why doesn't it matter! At least they are the same two words!"
Humph, you won't let me start, but I insist on it, and even secretly register and advertise on the Little Goblin Daily. Well, what's a name? By the way, the grilled abyssal octopus legs I had yesterday were delicious. I want it.
No, is it called Abyss Grilled Fish Group? Tentacle Alliance? Eight-legged Clan? Mollusc Happy Brigade?
And just when I had an idea, suddenly, Heloise's message interrupted my thinking.
"Roland, come here, there are some things here that make people care." (To be continued.)
