"Exploring caves? Shouldn't that be the job of the exploration team... laborers? Why let us go?"
"We suspect that the cave was excavated by monsters, and there may still be dangerous monsters inside, so we asked adventurers to go in and investigate." The adventurer girl who sent us the message said seriously.
"Then why don't you just ask other adventurers to go? We are personal guards~ How can we be allowed to do this kind of work?"
"Because you are the strongest. There are many dangerous monsters deep in the Hengduan Mountains. The Lord is worried that these monsters will flow here, so he needs to invite the strongest adventurers to investigate."
"Ha~ I won't deny that you are the strongest~ But do we have to go? I still want to continue doing nothing and getting paid for nothing~ Aren't you also very strong? Can't you just go with more people?"
The expression on the girl's face immediately became very exciting. If I had to describe it, it would be, "You don't want to do anything, but you still want to show off in front of us and shamelessly blame us?" Such a feeling. Fortunately, the other party is restrained.
Relatively high, she still patiently continued to negotiate with us.
"The environment in the cave is narrow, so many people there are actually a hindrance. An elite team like you is the most suitable for cave exploration. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the adult hopes that you will condescend to take a trip."
"Let's go Amy~ Maybe there is a treasure buried there~ If we go there, won't it become my private property~" Patch said happily in her mind.
"Huh? How do you know about the treasure? And calling it your personal property is too much! Don't we have a share?"
"Hehehe~ Amy, you don't need any treasures, so why not provide subsidies to a poor mortal like me~"
"Mao Xian! You are already half a goddess, and now you are definitely at the pinnacle of this world's combat power! Forget it, I won't argue with you, a money addict, and just go ahead. Anyway, I haven't taken any risks for a long time."
"Sister, can our activity really be called an adventure? The goddess is not afraid of any danger at all!" Ellie interjected without knowing the current situation.
"Stop talking nonsense, I have been mentally injured all the time! Isn't this a kind of risk?"
"You're just simply cowardly!"
"Cut the nonsense!"
"Hehehe~ We accepted it~ When will we set off?" Pachi said with a smile.
"Great! Tomorrow, please prepare yourself well today, and the adult will hold a dinner party to see you off."
The messenger girl said with relief, it seemed that negotiating with us was a very uncomfortable thing for her.
"Don't look at us like this! We don't know how to eat people! We just gave you a good beating, right?"
"Yeah~!"
Ellie glared at the girl menacingly, trying to scare her, but she ended up screaming and running away.
"Uh... why would she scare people away if she is so cute~ This must be all sister's fault!"
"It's none of my business!"
"Hehehe~ There's nothing wrong with being scared by others~ At least others won't dare to harm you~"
"Don't talk about Pachi, I really think someone is trying to harm us. Do you know that there is something called the Hongmen Banquet on the other side of the earth? Isn't it just a cave for us to explore? As for a big banquet? This is obviously to send us on our way.
Bar?"
Ai Li put away her impudent look, and her cute big eyes shone with the light of wisdom.
"Hehehe~ So what~ Risks and opportunities always coexist~ Our situation here is indeed a bit strange, as if we are isolated~"
"Yes~ and we are doing nothing all day long. Since the mine owner is still willing to pay such a high salary to us, it is simply unreasonable! Rather than hiring, it is better to say that he wants to keep us for some purpose.
it's here."
"Yes~ The other person has always kept a close distance from us. Whether it is showing courtesy or showing off himself, it is just right. It makes us have a good impression of him and be full of curiosity at the same time~ If I were an ordinary girl, maybe it would be true
They are already obsessed with each other~"
"Wait, wait, wait! What are you talking about! Pachi, you are actually interested in that mine boss? Is there something wrong?"
I was so shocked that I grabbed Patsy's shoulders and shook her hard. My girl was actually interested in a strange man. How could I be calm?
"Hehehe~ Which girl wouldn't like a polite gentleman~ It's normal to be interested~"
Patsy's body swayed vigorously, but it did not affect her soft tone at all.
"How can it be normal! Why don't I feel anything? Ai Li doesn't feel anything either, right?"
"That's right! Ellie only has one sister in her heart!"
"Hehehe~ That's because Amy and Ellie are not girls in the real sense~"
"Ah~~It's unreasonable! Why do women like such hypocritical perverts!"
"Hehehe~ Don't men also like women who are empty on the outside but empty on the inside~"
"Who said that? I don't like it! Which of my girls is the one you said?"
"Ah~ I'm talking about ordinary people~ Well~ Amy, you win~"
"That's not important! What's important is that you must not be fooled by that kind of hypocrite! What's good about a stinky man is me..."
"Ah la la? Amy, are you jealous? I'm not your friend~ Why do you feel jealous when I fall in love with a man?"
"Because... because that person is not a good person! It will definitely be miserable if you get involved with him!"
"Oh, oh, oh? So if I find a reliable man, Amy will give us her heartfelt blessings?"
"Of course...of course...Oh, don't talk about this kind of topic! I won't send you out casually! There is no reason to give away the girl I got! Let's go! Get ready for adventure!"
I blushed, strode away without looking back, and ignored the strange voice coming from behind. Damn Pachi, is it fun to tease me? I won't let other men snatch you away.
Let's go! But... But what if Pachi really finds someone else in the future, and she is a beautiful girl? I can't bear to let her go... Now, can't I just take that girl in too! As long as
Everyone is our family, so it doesn’t matter who we are friends with. This is really a perfect solution!
Huh? What did I see? Is that Black Dragon Stone?
I usually have the habit of looking around when walking. Just now, I suddenly noticed that a worker passing by was wearing a small black pendant. It may not be accurate to say it is a pendant, because it is a small piece of black dragon stone tied with a string.
It just hangs around the neck. It seems that this thing has become a popular decoration among the local people. Even ordinary workers can buy one and carry it with them. Hmm, maybe it is not bought, but the scraps produced during mining?
I looked at other passers-by, and sure enough, I also found ornaments made of black dragon stone on their bodies. Although most of them were small and rough, they were basically made by everyone. This thing is really popular.
It’s high~ Or is it because this kind of gemstone is super cheap, so it is used by poor people who don’t have much money to make jewelry?
It’s strange~ Why didn’t I notice it before? Ellie, Patsy, have you noticed it?
"No~"
"Neither do I. The light reflected from the small piece of this thing is very weak. If you don't look at it specifically, you can hardly notice it, right? Maybe the rope that ties this thing is not there yet!"
"Olysia, have you noticed that everyone here is wearing a black dragon stone?"
I asked the dragon maid, trying to get different answers.
"Of course, being alone here is like being wrapped in the smell of excrement, and I'm going to go crazy with discomfort. I want to go on a killing spree, and then throw all those unclean stones into the crater!"
"Ah~ That's really hard on you, but I don't see that you feel uncomfortable?"
I took a closer look at the face of the Dragon Maid, and it was still as calm as ever.
"The third lady told Gu to restrain his hostility. As a dragon, I can endure it."
"Why did you ask her to restrain herself?" I asked Ellie.
"Isn't this nonsense, sister! Do you want Olysia to blow up this place?"
"That's right... By the way, Alicia, why did you ask us to throw away the stone instead of destroying it?"
"Because such unclean things usually cannot be destroyed. Trying to destroy them will only bring greater disaster to yourself."
"Hmm~ Maybe it will be destroyed by throwing it into the crater like you said~ Do you have a Doomsday volcano or something?"
"what is that?"
"Uh, it's nothing, I just said that casually~"
"Hmm~ Do you want to change into a dress for the banquet tonight~ I need to look more elegant in front of that adult~"
Paqi put her index finger on her lips, and she actually showed a longing expression. Go ahead!
"Bullshit, sir! Pachi, you are not allowed to call that hypocritical man like that! And you are not allowed to wear a dress! We will go back and make ourselves dirty and smelly now, and we must not let that thing become interested in us! Yes, that's right, I
Now go dig and live in the mud!"
"Sister...are you crazy~" Ellie looked at me with a pained face and said.
