When Metien and Semi returned to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, they found that everyone was listening to Ringer's account of what happened in the morning, and it seemed that the story had reached the end, and the last sentence happened to fall: "... So Saint Xalia and I
The young lady left the theater and returned to the hotel, planning to think about it again."
The other protagonist, a girl with green braided hair, sat on the armchair next to her, gently stroking the hair of the lamb in her arms, and removing the gravel and grass clippings that were accidentally stained on it.
"That's it!"
Alice, who originally just went downstairs to look for food, crossed her arms and put on an expression that said "I understand completely": "To put it simply, you met an inexplicable guy and listened to an inexplicable history; you met again
I met another inexplicable guy and listened to an inexplicable story, right?"
I think you are quite baffled.
Lin Ge was too lazy to pay attention to her. Only the kind-hearted Saint Xia Liya replied softly: "It's not an inexplicable guy; the person I met in front of the theater was Mr. Rochelle, a traveler of the Fertile Earth Sect; the person I met in the theater was
It's Mr. Mills, Sir Roman's heir."
"I can't remember such a complicated name."
With a wave of her hand, Alice classified the two people into the "background NPCs", and then asked Ringer: "So, when do you plan to go into the mountains to look for that castle? Oh, and there are those who are sealed in the castle.
The princess is waiting for the brave man to kiss her awake... isn't this the Sleeping Beauty?"
She glanced at Ringer with suspicious eyes: "I don't think you look like a brave man. I can't imagine what you looked like when you kissed the princess."
If someone else were to be the hero and kiss the princess to wake up, it would be a beautiful fairy tale, but if it were Ringer, it would feel like it would become a suspense or mystery story.
"Oh~" The proprietress Shesta held her cheeks with both hands, looking intoxicated and admiring: "I think it's very romantic~ If a person like Mr. Ringer, who looks cold and indifferent, meets someone who is worthy of his sincerity, he will definitely
It will be unbelievably exciting, right? Oh hehehe~"
The potted plants in the corner played Master Patch Campbell's "Symphony of Love - Prelude" in a timely manner, using green and beautiful notes like first love as background music to heighten the mood of the audience.
Alice took a step back in fear: Sister, your tone, expression, and laughter really make people worry about your mental state.
"What!?"
Metien, who had just walked into the hall, only heard the key words "Linger", "kiss" and "sincere". He was as shocked as if he saw Alice doing housework. He hurriedly ran over and asked: "Linger"
In love!? With whom!?"
While speaking, the girl's eyes swept over the elder sisters in the hall one by one: Is it the elder sister leading the sheep? Her reaction was very dull, so it shouldn't be; is it the elder sister who likes to hold banquets? She
Although she is very gentle, she is very scary, so it is probably not the case. Is it the big sister behind the counter who is bartending? Her personality is too similar to Ringer's, and I feel that the two will not get along, so it is probably not the case.
So, she is a big sister who likes to play games... Well, forget it.
"Hey, what do you mean!?"
Alice felt very unhappy: "Why did I come to a conclusion without even guessing when it was my turn? Am I not worthy?"
"Well...ah, no, sister Alice, I mean, it's...it's...hey?"
"There's no point in being cute! Take advantage of me!"
"Woo, sister Alice, I was wrong, stop rubbing my face, woo..."
"..." Lin Ge rubbed his eyebrows and suddenly felt very tired.
***
A few minutes later, under Siesta's strong suppression, the scene finally returned to normal - specifically, the landlady said with a smile: "If you keep fooling around, I will get angry~" So Alice and Metien
He returned to his seat obediently, even more obedient than a first grader at St. Lowood National School.
By the way, has this metaphor been used before?
It doesn’t matter, we can discuss the business at least.
"The legend of Dark Noctus has indeed been circulating in the area near the Saussen Mountains for a long time, but few people have heard of the mysterious castle in the mountains. At least in the one hundred and fifty-eight years since the establishment of the Goblin Sleep Inn,
We have never heard of similar rumors." The person who spoke was the second sister Shelia, because the eldest sister Shesta was using her aura to frighten several disobedient children.
"Perhaps the demon spirits that live in the mountains all year round will know something, but there is no time to ask them for information now. In short, if you really want to find that castle, there are several difficulties that you need to pay attention to."
The bartender held out a finger as if the NPC issuing the task was explaining the settings: "First, how to find its location. I think if the castle actually exists but has not been discovered for hundreds of years,
It should be guarded by a special magic barrier, just like the magic mystery lock that guards the hotel. This type of non-offensive barrier is the most difficult to deal with, and it is difficult to find a way to break it without knowing the specific situation." "It doesn't matter."
Saint Xalia put the lamb in her arms on the floor, then gently raised her hand, and a golden ball of wool appeared in her palm: "With the guidance of the [Destiny Sign], everything is anchored
, no matter it is between reality or illusion, you cannot escape its gaze."
"What a convenient ability."
Shelia sighed, and then stretched out a second finger: "Then the second difficulty is how to fight against the guardian of the castle, which is the sun-eating monster Noctus of the Dark mentioned in the legend. With this guy in the legend
Judging from the power shown, he is probably a demigod above Sequence 4. I remember Xiaoxia, your ability shouldn’t be used in combat, right?"
Saint Xalia nodded slightly.
Those with Sequence 4 and above can be called demigods... This was the second time Ringo came into contact with the mysterious extraordinary system. He vaguely remembered that when he was in Linwell City, Feiyali, who had transformed into a night demon, was in Saint Xalia.
What he said was Sequence 6. In other words, Noctus of the Dark was at least two levels better than Fialli at that time.
This simple conversion is of course not accurate enough, but it is enough to explain the problem.
"It doesn't matter!"
This time, the person who stood up and patted her chest was Alice: "My new game is already in the development stage. As long as it is completed before entering the castle, I will definitely beat that guy to pieces!"
"Is it magical game magic? I heard Xie Mi mention it, so... let's call it like this."
Shelia's use of the word "temporarily" shows that she does not trust Alice's guarantee. After all, this golden-haired maid has never shown any qualities worthy of trust.
"In this case, there is only one last difficulty left."
Shelia held out a third finger: "If Sir Roman's memory is correct, the castle is not only difficult to find, but is guarded by the sun-devouring monster Noctus the Dark, and the outermost layer is also covered with shading trees.
The thorns cut off almost all light. I have reason to believe that it is a special kind of magical plant. It is difficult to destroy the magical plant using ordinary methods - such as cutting it with a sharp weapon or burning it with fire. So.
, have you figured out how to break through their protection?"
"About this matter," Shesta heard this and turned around and said slowly: "Maybe we can ask Mrs. Tree for help? I remember that she has a dagger in her hand called 'Plant Bane', which can absorb the vitality of plants.
Transform it into your own power. All plants, whether ordinary plants or magic plants, are absolute natural enemies."
"That should be okay." Shelia looked hesitant: "The question is, will Mrs. Tree agree to lend us the dagger?"
Shesta was not sure either: "If we can discuss it carefully..."
"Weeds and trees disaster!" Xie Mi suddenly interrupted the eldest sister happily: "There is no need to borrow it from Mrs. Tree!"
When everyone's eyes fell on her, the goblin maid stretched out her hand and pointed at her little friend. To be precise, she pointed at the wooden box in her arms: "Because it's on Metien's body!"
