Lena found it strange that she was mentally prepared for possible difficulties in the afternoon.
However, when they got here, the abominable Cohen did not show up halfway, leaving the three girls to happily fish by the river all afternoon.
It wasn't until the mission of a hundred big trout was successfully completed that he slowly came out of the woods and took everyone back to the city without any delay on the way.
In fact, this time he didn't let her carry anything or follow him on foot. Instead, he asked Meili to ride a horse and carry her.
The Trout River is a good place for fishing. The fish here are easy to take the bait. Even a novice can easily catch big fish. There are also many fish, a hundred is considered a small number. If you see a bunch of them swimming in it,
Hundreds of them, all the way along the river, there are countless schools of fish like this.
Therefore, there will be many fishermen nearby, but they are more direct and use nets to fish downstream, which is called fast!
It was the first time for Lena to experience such an interesting task, and she was a little happy to say it.
But on the way back, I felt worried again.
Captain Cohen suddenly stopped targeting her, which made her even more uneasy. She kept wondering what kind of trick he had waiting for her, and it would definitely not be that simple.
I was uneasy along the way, but when I arrived in the city and handed in the mission at the Adventurer's Guild, I didn't see him causing anything else.
It's almost evening, and the sun is gradually setting.
In the sunset, the four people walked out of the Adventurer's Guild and walked quietly on the street.
"Hey!" Halfway through, Lena finally stopped and couldn't help but say, "What else are you going to do next? You might as well explain it all at once!"
Meili and Tataniel also looked at Jia Zhengjin, saying that they really couldn't understand Cohen's thoughts.
Jia Zhengjin also stopped and turned to face Lina, with a faint smile on his face.
When Lena saw his smile, she felt creepy all over. She thought she had some bad idea, so she subconsciously took a step back and crossed her arms in front of her chest in a defensive posture.
Jia Zhengjin made no other moves. Instead, he stretched his hands behind his neck, gently took off the red stone necklace, and then handed it over under Liena's surprised eyes: "Take it!"
"Give it to me?" Liena was stunned, looking at the necklace in disbelief, and then at Jia Zhengjin's face, not daring to reach out for a while.
"Aren't you just here to get this necklace back?" Jia Zhengjin said, "Don't you want it?"
"Who said that?" Lina then realized what she was doing, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, holding it in her palm very dearly. However, she stared at Jia Zhengjin suspiciously, wondering why he was so easy to talk to all of a sudden.
"Okay! Since it is such a precious thing, be careful next time and don't lose it again!" Jia Zhengjin said, "Meili, Tatanil, are you going to continue going back to the orphanage today, or are you going to the base with me?
"
"Let's go to the base tonight!" Meili said, "After all, it is our new home."
"Okay, let's go!" Jia Zhengjin jumped up on Shadow Leopard's back and sat down, saying hello.
Mellie immediately got on the horse, and Tatanir also quickly jumped on the horse. The two looked back at Lena, who was still confused, and said to themselves that Cohen was really not such a narrow-minded person, otherwise how could he only be in trouble after agreeing to a whole day?
She spent a long time and basically did nothing after that.
This made the two of them feel much better, feeling that they had seen the right person.
Liena saw the three people getting on their mounts and preparing to leave directly. She lowered her head to look at the necklace in her hand, then raised her head and shouted to Jia Zhengjin: "Hey! Are you really going to give it back to me? The day is not up yet!"
Jia Zhengjin looked back at her from his mount, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, without saying a word.
The Shadow Leopard ran directly towards the outside of the city. The setting sun shone on his face, which was so bright. It was completely different from the hateful guy in Liena's previous impression.
Soon, Jia Zhengjin, along with Meili and Tatanil, completely disappeared from Lena's sight.
Really...just leaving like that?
Lena still felt it was unreal, but the texture of the necklace in her hand told her that it was not an illusion.
Although it feels like a dream, at least the goal has been achieved.
The important necklace is back in your hands without any damage.
She picked up the necklace, carefully brought it back to her white jade neck, and breathed a sigh of relief.
I don’t know how I got back to the hotel, so I kept thinking about what happened today.
This is the first time she has encountered such a situation since she was a child.
How to say?
In just one day, I feel like I have experienced the ups and downs of life, as well as different joys.
These are things I have never experienced before and have never thought about.
"Miss!!" When she stepped into the hotel room, Panis greeted her in surprise, and the other female guards around her also looked happy, "Are you back?"
"Panis, I'm back!" Lena nodded and entered the house.
Panis was happy at first, but then she saw Liena's expression was wrong. Then she thought about it that the day had not come yet, and she was shocked: "Miss, if you come back now, do you mean that you... gave up? You didn't get it back."
That necklace?”
"Huh?" Lena was thinking about something and didn't react.
"It's okay, Miss!" Panis said hurriedly, "I will lead them to chase him out immediately and seize the necklace from that guy! If it doesn't work, report to the city lord and ask for reinforcements! Although the situation is not good for us, after all, it is Madam's relic.
,us......"
"Panis!" Lena reacted at this time and said hurriedly, "No need, that person has already returned the necklace to me!"
While speaking, he reached out and took out the red stone necklace he was wearing.
When Panis and the female guards saw the necklace, they were all relieved.
In fact, they don't really want to cause trouble for Jia Zhengjin. Let alone fighting, this is the opponent's territory after all, and they are isolated and helpless. The situation on the city lord's side is obviously not good either. It is extremely dangerous to offend such a big force rashly.
Unwise behavior!
Just get the necklace back, it saves you all the trouble.
But they all felt puzzled: "Miss, he just returned the necklace so simply? He shouldn't have made any excessive demands to you this whole day, right? Has he bullied you?"
Lena didn't speak, just lowered her head and thought.
"Miss?" Seeing her silence, Panis immediately thought wrongly, "Oh my god! Did that bastard really bully you? How? No! We must settle the score with him and ask him to explain clearly!!"
"Yes, let's settle the score with him!!" The female guards shouted loudly. In fact, it was just a shout. It was a sign of loyalty. It was impossible to go through. Such a big matter still needs to be reported to the Lord of the City before making a decision.
"Stop arguing!" Lena stopped them. "Nothing happened today. Although I suffered a little hardship, it was just a job I had never experienced before... I was just wondering, who is he?"
