Greece brings evildoers - Chapter 491

c485 Sister-in-law, your sister is awesome!

After avoiding this strange contact, Wu Lu suppressed the inexplicable desire in her heart and took the lead in changing the topic:

“I’ve heard about you and Shirley.”

“So, you’re here to help her get back on her feet?”

Lorne raised an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, Wu Lu shook her head gently:

“Of course not. I have to thank you on behalf of this child. Without your help, this demon-killing mission would not be successfully completed. With Xili’s character, she might cause some trouble.”

When Lorne heard this, he was a little surprised:

“According to the bet, she will serve me. Do you have no objection?”

“I am willing to admit defeat. It is natural that she should bear the trouble she caused by herself. I am neither her parents nor her relatives, so how can I get involved in this? Moreover, if you learn from the experience, you may gain wisdom. It would be a good thing for her future growth to change her irritable personality. ”

Wu Lu replied calmly, and then a smile appeared in her emerald green eyes.

“In addition, this girl admires you very much. I’m afraid she would like to follow you on adventures so that she doesn’t have to go back to the cage in the Sintra Palace. Learning palace etiquette from the nuns every day is even more uncomfortable than killing her. ”

After hearing this, Lorne suddenly realized.

No wonder Ciri signed the contract so readily even though she knew she had to sell herself to work. After a long time, this girl, like Galadriel, was also a rebellious girl who took advantage of the opportunity to leave her family.

Lorne asked back: “Aren’t you afraid that I am a bad person?”

“I have a general understanding of the content of the contract, and the requirements are not excessive. And she is also grateful for your care along the way.”

Wu Lu’s smile remained unchanged, her eyes revealed the wisdom of understanding the facts.

“Besides, if you really have evil intentions, this child will suffer a lot as early as the night when you attack you. How can he walk back to Heather Island safely? Obviously, your character is beyond doubt, and I can’t entrust her to you. rest assured.”

This frank answer and well-founded analysis made Lorne unknowingly have a growing liking for the female bartender.

We are used to the Nordic world’s tendency to fight whenever they disagree, so rational and open-minded characters like this are really rare.

Moreover, both the tone and etiquette of the other party reflect the calmness and elegance of a lady, making it very comfortable to get along with them.

But…what does it mean to entrust her to me?

Lorne looked back at Ciri, who was sitting at the wine table drinking mead and didn’t know anything about it. He suddenly couldn’t laugh or cry.

Counting carefully, Princess Freya of the Vanir Clan, Princess Hela of the Asa Clan, Princess Iden of the Dwarf Clan, Princess Galadriel of the Elf Clan, Princess “Angelboda” of the Giant Clan, and This princess of the human kingdom, Shiri… there was almost a nest of princesses around him.

“She’s the princess of Cintra, and she’s just following me around?”

“Her temperament is not suitable for being a princess. It’s better to practice with you first. As for the Queen and her teacher Yennefer, I will explain it, please don’t worry.”

Wu Lu gave an answer again, which could be described as considerate.

At the same time, her hands danced gracefully like butterflies through flowers, mixing mead, ale, juice and other drinks in different proportions, and quickly prepared a cocktail with seven layers of colorful light, and pushed it to Lorne before:

“[Bifester], please use it slowly. I’ll take this cup as a thank you for taking care of this child on the road.”

Unable to refuse such hospitality, Lorne happily accepted the special cocktail named “Rainbow Bridge”, picked up the crystal wine glass and tasted it carefully.

When the wine enters the mouth, the front note is sweet and refreshing, the middle note is rich in layers, and the tail note is long aftertaste. It is really a good product.

It was rare to encounter something familiar in his memory. Luo En was so happy that he was drunk. He asked the female bartender Wu Lu for some bartending utensils and some ingredients, and successfully prepared a drink. Azure Cocktail:

“[Margaret], please reciprocate.”

Wu Lu picked up the wine glass in surprise and pursed her lips to taste it.

The entrance is sour and sweet, with a rich taste, with the refreshing lemon and the special aroma of fruit wine. After the aftertaste, the addition of a pinch of sea salt is the finishing touch. A hint of fresh salty greatly adds to the layering of the cocktail.

After a glass of wine, Wu Lu was completely conquered, and she sincerely praised Lorne at the counter:

“You are so knowledgeable, and you are even proficient in such unpopular skills as bartending.”

“I only know a little bit about it. You are the expert in this field.”

Lorne was a little embarrassed by the compliment and responded humbly.

He was just picking up tips and tricks from those future bartending masters, but Wu Lu in front of him was truly a pioneer who started something from scratch and learned without a teacher.

But Wu Lu mistook this for Lorn’s self-effacement, and became even more fond of him. She couldn’t help but cover her lips and chuckled:

“It is rare to find someone as humble and rich as you. Now I understand why Ciri admires you so much. If I were the same age, I would definitely follow you around.”

“Aunt Wu Lu!”

After being mentioned and teased repeatedly, Xili could no longer pretend to be an ostrich and turned her head to protest, her fair little face showing a slight redness due to drunkenness.

The two adults in front of the bar looked at each other and smiled, feeling amused.

Under the gaze of four people, Xili became even more unable to resist. She waved her hands repeatedly and changed the topic in embarrassment:

“Okay, Aunt Wu Lu, let’s get down to business. I have completed your commission, so next, should you tell me what I want to know as agreed?”

“Don’t be impatient, little guy.”

Wulu smiled and comforted, looking up at the petite figure who hurried in from the door as if she had predicted the future.

“Look, they are coming,”

At this moment, the dwarf girl who had met Loen once in the Chamber of Commerce walked into the tavern quickly, put a thick stack of commissions in her arms on the bar, and then hurriedly spoke to everyone in the tavern:

“Everyone, a large-scale dragon disaster broke out in the Dwarf Country! It has destroyed more than a dozen dwarf villages and blocked the trade route between the Dwarf Country and the Courtyard. The Chamber of Commerce hereby issues an emergency bounty to recruit adventurers of all levels to slay the dragon! The reward will be issued according to the strength of the dragon beast, and you can also choose an additional magic weapon produced by the Dwarf Workshop for free!

If you can kill a superior dragon with a [True Name], you will receive a reward of 300,000 gold coins and a magic weapon tailored for you by the Dwarf Country craftsmen!”

After listening to the announcement of the teller girl, the adventurers from various countries in the tavern suddenly exploded.

Three hundred thousand gold coins, a tailor-made artifact!

The reward for this mission is very generous. As long as you can get it, you will basically have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

Even if you don’t get this ultimate prize, killing one or two dragon beasts will also be a great reward.

As we all know, dragon species have a habit of collecting treasures, and killing them is equivalent to digging out a treasure house.

At the same time, the corpses of dragon species are also very useful. Dragon blood is a top-grade material for drawing magic arrays and scrolls, dragon meat is a great tonic, and dragon scales and dragon horns can be used to make armor and weapons. In short, the whole body is a treasure.

In addition, after completing the mission, you can also receive a reward from the tavern, which is simply a win-win situation.

Many adventurers with shining eyes rushed to the counter, received the commission, and hurriedly ran towards the magic teleportation array, fearing that this good thing would be taken by others first.

But more experienced adventurers did not rush to act, either collecting intelligence, or recruiting people to form a team, or buying supplies in advance.

As the saying goes, high returns mean high risks. Although the Chamber of Commerce is rich, it is not a good person.

The fact that they can offer such generous rewards is enough to prove the urgency of the situation and the difficulty of the task.

Moreover, it is a dragon species whose single power is second only to giants and gods!

Ordinary adventurers may not even be able to fill their teeth when they encounter such a top-level mysterious creature.

Although money and artifacts are good, you have to be alive to get them.

While the adventurers in the tavern were taking action, Wulu took out a commission from the counter and handed it to Ciri:

“To break the curse on Yennefer, you need dragon blood, and it must be a superior dragon with a [True Name]. According to my divination, you may be able to try your luck in the Dwarf Kingdom.”

“That’s it? You should have said no earlier.”

Ciri took the commission and couldn’t help complaining,

“You are my teacher’s good friend after all, but you insisted that I go around in circles before you help. As a result, I made a long trip to that village in vain, and even sacrificed myself.”

Wulu shook his head and said seriously:

“Yennefer and I are familiar with each other, but friendship is friendship, and transactions are transactions. Everything has a price. If you want my help, you must pay the equivalent labor. This is for your own good. Things that are too easy to get often contain considerable hidden dangers.”

Lorne listened to Wulu’s contemplation and agreed with him.

Having lived in the Nordic world for so long, he has already figured out the underlying rules of this world.

As a world born out of sacrifice, its underlying code naturally revolves around [sacrifice] and [exchange]. This logic is particularly obvious in the mysterious system.

The easier it is to get something, the more likely it is to bury hidden dangers.

Therefore, [exchange] that does not owe each other is truly good for Ciri.

Moreover, when Ciri first arrived, the dragon disaster in the dwarf country had not yet broken out. Even if Ulu wanted to help, there might not be a suitable opportunity.

But unfortunately, Ciri was still too young at this time and did not understand this profound truth. He just felt that this friend of teacher Yennefer seemed a little unkind.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stagnant, Lorne took the initiative to change the subject:

“By the way, what is the curse of your teacher? It actually requires dragon blood to break the curse.”

“Well, it’s a long story.”

Ciri turned around and told Lorne about the whole thing.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Since Yennefer became her godmother and teacher, she stayed in the Kingdom of Cintra and became a court sorceress.

However, since she sat on this position and mixed in with the secular royal power, she could not avoid experiencing disputes.

A few months ago, several northern kingdoms sent letters for help, saying that a group of extremely powerful foreign sorceresses were causing chaos in the north and spreading heresy, so Yennefer took several high-level sorceresses from the [Warlock Brotherhood] to the scene of the incident to compete with those outsiders.

As a result, although the [Warlock Brotherhood] won with difficulty, they were cursed by unknown curses, either blind, paralyzed, or mentally ill.

And Yennefer’s skin hardened and strange scales grew on her body.

After listening to this, Loen frowned and asked:

“Where did those outsiders come from?”

Ciri shook her head helplessly:

“I don’t know, but I heard from the teacher that they call themselves [Lake Fairies], and most of the members are women.”

Hearing the name of this organization, Loen suddenly felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.

Lake Fairies? Good guy, can’t they be the ones who created King Arthur on the island of Avalon?

Irish-Celtic Gods are coming?

After a little thought, Loen shook his head and denied this idea.

It should be just a preliminary contact among the people. If there is really a master, the few onions of the [Warlock Brotherhood] will not be able to win this battle.

At this time, Ciri interrupted the small talk and turned to the main topic:

“Okay, let’s not talk about this for now. I have to go to the Dwarf Country as soon as possible to get the dragon blood for the teacher to break the curse.”

“Okay, I’ll go with you so that I can take care of you on the way.” Loen nodded in response.

“Really?” Ciri’s face was full of surprise.

“Who made you owe me so much labor? If something goes wrong, won’t I lose a lot?”

Loen rolled his eyes and snorted, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart.

According to the teller girl of the Chamber of Commerce, Holo is negotiating business orders in the Dwarf Country. With her ability, it’s easy to deal with a few dragons.

But she will use the form of a notice to widely signal adventurers to slay dragons.

This is enough to prove that the outbreak of the dragon disaster is not as simple as it seems, and there may be other inside stories.

To be on the safe side, he needs to go to the Dwarf Country to investigate the truth of the matter.

However, Ciri obviously didn’t know that the purpose of Loen’s trip was for another female, and thought he was worried about her safety.

Suddenly, the girl’s heart was beating like a deer, and she couldn’t help but sneak a peek at the handsome profile next to her.

Loen, who was completely unaware of this, saw Galadriel and Rose, who had settled the father and daughter, rushing to the tavern to gather, and immediately showed his vigorous side:

“Two people in a group, prepare supplies for three hours, and when the time comes, gather in front of the teleportation array!”

The four people who met looked at each other and nodded, and Ciri decisively stuck to the close Galadriel, and Loen was assigned to a group with Rose.

Just as they were about to leave, a clear call came from behind:

“Wait a minute!”

Under the gaze of everyone, Wu Lu walked out of the counter, looked at the four people, and said seriously:

“You all have good strength. If possible, I would like to ask you to investigate the truth of the dwarf dragon disaster and solve this disaster from the source.”

“Personal request?”

“I think so.”

“Then, what’s the price? Everything has a price.”

Looking at the smiling Lorne, Wu Lu reacted and smiled and said:

“A cup of special drink?”

“No, my labor fee is not that cheap, I have to pay more.”

“Then what do you want?”

“Fixed answers are meaningless. I prefer unexpected surprises.”

Lorne thought about it, and a light bulb went off in his head.

“How about this, after we go out, you close your eyes and open them again. The first thing you see will belong to me.”

“Interesting proposal, let’s do it.” Wu Lu agreed happily.

Watching the four people walk out of the tavern, she gently closed her eyes.

To be honest, since she took that position, everything has been fixed in her eyes, as if the world is an unchanging painting, without the slightest thing to look forward to.

Unexpectedly, in just a few hours with this man, her originally dead heart actually rippled, and a long-lost passion and curiosity arose in her heart.

What will it cost?

Wulu lowered her head and opened the drawer, preparing to randomly select the [reward] she should pay.

There are coins and gems of different denominations, quest items submitted by adventurers, and her own collection… Whether she can win the grand prize depends on that person’s luck.

Just as Wulu calmed down and was about to open her eyes to open the box, a sudden voice came from behind:

“Big sister, I found my little sister!”

“Where is she?”

Wulu subconsciously turned back, and the second sister with bright brown hair and blue eyes came into her sight.

As the sight fixed, the goddess emblem shaped like a blue diamond gem suddenly appeared on the forehead of the gentle girl, and a circle of strange golden flames like a chain extended around it.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Wulu’s face suddenly changed.

Damn it! How could the price be fulfilled on Belldandy?
