Chapter three hundred and eighty first wine's determination
"Since you have no problem here, I'm ready to leave."
Annan looked at Jiu'er, who was still trembling slightly, and stretched out his hand to support her arm with concern: "Can I still go back by myself?
"Also, do you need me to help you solve the problem between those two people?"
Annan said, looking up at the two corpses at the end of the alley that had lost their souls but had intact bodies.
——This should be Jiuer’s monitor.
If the two of them died here quietly, it might cause some trouble for Jiu'er's job...or her personal quest line. If Jiu'er needs it, Annan can help her deal with the follow-up issues.
The way to deal with it is also very simple - he just informs the Crow family directly and sends someone to intimidate them. For these Noah's underground gangs, Count Geraint's deterrence is much greater than the police...
It's a pretty good benefit to have the boss of your own camp help you deal with your problems for free; you may even have the opportunity to grab a tiger's skin, jump directly to a level in the personal quest line, and enter the high-level earlier... or simply use what you are doing now.
It is possible to use small forces as a springboard to jump to higher-level forces.
From a player's perspective, this is the best choice.
The ultimate goal of all player actions is to gain benefits.
And Annan is also very aware of the player's urinary nature.
So even though it was Jiu'er who was asking him for help, Annan still prepared a compensation for Jiu'er to make up for Jiu'er's lost interests.
...But Jiu'er didn't do that.
A strange and strong desire for competition arose in her heart that should not belong to the players in the first place——
It was a strong feeling that he didn't want Annan to despise him, and he didn't want Annan to treat him as a burden, a follower... and an immature minor who needed special care.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Annan..."
Jiu'er glanced at Annan, then lowered his head and continued to reply in a low voice fluently: "But I can handle this myself."
"Do you have an idea? Why don't you tell me and let me give you some advice?"
"Yes, sir - my idea is to report Bernardino's name. Regardless of whether they sent ritual masters and other extraordinary beings, they still can't find out the real cause of death of these two people; or really find out
They were killed by Bernardino, and they could only choose to believe my words.
"Compared with the possibility of me colluding with Bernardino to target and suppress their power, 'I have special abilities or face to be able to escape from Bernardino, or at least make him dare not attack me.'
The likelihood is much higher.
"As long as they have a smart person, they will pay more attention to me. Because no matter how I survive the attack, it can prove that I am indeed not an ordinary bronze-level transcendent. And it is very likely to involve high-level forces.
… Not only can they not attack me, but they have to find ways to win me over.”
Jiu'er fluently stated the plan he had conceived.
"Yes, it's pretty good that you can think of it here."
Annan agreed with her statement.
Subsequent corrections and optimizations were made: "But please note here that you can describe Bernardino's abilities in detail, but it is best not to say the name directly."
"...Is it because they will doubt me to some extent? Even if they value me now, they will still doubt me in their hearts?"
"Yes, this will plant seeds of doubt - that's one aspect. Another problem is that, given your status, you shouldn't clearly know the existence of 'Bernardino'."
Annan pointed out the flaw in Jiuer's plan: "You are a berserker after all, not a wizard. Although they think you have some special profession now, you are just a berserker after all... They will notice this problem sooner or later.
"If you don't want to be further suspected, don't tell information you shouldn't know."
...Annan is so strong!
Jiuer's eyes widened and he looked at Anan in disbelief.
Her shining, pure eyes showed obvious admiration.
Annan noticed Jiu'er's gaze and couldn't help laughing: "You don't understand that this is completely normal. After all, you are still young and a child. You have never had such an experience before... right?"
...but you are obviously much younger than me!
I actually became an adult not long ago, but I'm just a little young... and a little short...
The baby-faced Jiuer thought dissatisfiedly in his heart.
But she didn't say this out loud.
...Perhaps it was because of timidity, or some kind of unexplainable reserve - at least until Annan looked at herself, Jiuer did not intend to tell him her true age.
Let’s use our status as “peers” to get closer to Annan.
As if enough was said, Annan sighed softly.
"I respect your wishes. Since you don't want me to interfere, I won't mention it anymore."
Annan asked in a gentle tone: "Does your abdomen still hurt?"
"...it still hurts."
Jiu'er hesitated for a moment, then replied in a low voice.
She was a little embarrassed to talk about the pain in this position - but the pain was so severe that it was unbearable, almost dysmenorrhea, and she still had to pay attention to it.
If you don't ask while Annan is here, the pain may become more severe after Annan leaves...
At that point, it wouldn't be more shameful to ask strangers - and it might expose your own weaknesses or wounds.
Only Annan can be trusted...
But he didn't wait for Annan to answer.
Zhiji, who was behind Annan, explained: "This is because your soul has been hurt. You were eroded too much by the curse in an instant, so your load can no longer bear it. Where you feel the pain now,
This is where it will be after your spell is released.
"Remember to change the loader when you go back and recuperate... It's best not to enter the nightmare these two days.
"And this is not necessarily a bad thing. Although the corrosion rate has increased a lot, in the next period of time, you will get some cursed power purified by yourself after waking up. This will make you stronger."
...To put it simply, you can get a small amount of experience by signing in every day?
Jiu'er bit her lip.
But she still felt that it was not a good thing that the erosion level suddenly increased so much...
It was like penetrating her heart.
Annan comforted him: "You were implicated because of me. After that, I will find a way to remove your erosion - in addition to the newly increased part, the previous one will also be removed, as if it is for you.
Make up for it."
"...It's really troublesome, Lord Annan."
Jiu'er opened her mouth, wanting very much to say, "Actually, you don't have to do this," but she finally gave in and whispered, "Thank you very much."
——Because she said she didn’t want it, but she still wanted it in her heart.
But after I agreed, I felt that I owed Annan more and more things for some reason...
"If you need anything or encounter any crisis in the future, just call my name."
Annan finally said: "As long as I can come, I will come."
"……yes."
Jiu'er was silent for a moment and responded in a low voice.
But after hearing these words, she completely made up her mind.
As a player, dying once is no big deal.
If we really encounter an enemy that is difficult to fight... we must not involve Annan.
