Chapter 2099 Stupidity and Heroism
I quite agree with what Lillea said.
After I stepped into the town, witnessed its prosperity, and learned about the status of adventurers in Zephyr Continent, for a long time, I longed to be admitted to the Adventurers Guild, even if I was just an ordinary combat member. good.
Time flies, and several years have passed. Not only have I fulfilled my original dream, I have even become the controller of a large adventurers guild.
It is really unpredictable.
The next morning, I packed lightly and walked towards the airship base. Just halfway through, I heard familiar footsteps behind me. When I looked back, I saw Cagalli carrying a warhammer and whistling, looking left and right. Look, pretend to be doing nothing.
".If you don't kill monsters in broad daylight, why are you following me?"
Cagalli glanced at me, pretended not to notice, and continued to whistle.
I was a little helpless, so I moved on and quickened my pace.
Seeing this, Cagalli also quickened her pace.
We arrived at the airship base one after another and stopped. I turned around and walked a few steps in front of Cagalli: "Didn't I tell you to stay here well? Why are you following me again?"
"I'm just on the way, yes, on the way," Cagalli said nonchalantly: "I'm just on the way with you, how can you say I'm following you!"
Seeing her firm eyes, I knew that she must have a bad temper again. No matter how hard I tried to argue, it would probably end in vain. It would be better to take her with me, and maybe it would save some trouble.
Thinking of this, I said to Cagalli: "You can go, but you must be obedient. You are not allowed to cause trouble, and you are not allowed to reveal your identity. You are only allowed to stay by my side. Including going to the toilet, you must not be more than three meters away from me. .”
"Yes, I know," Cagalli said impatiently.
We boarded the airship and headed straight to Cyber City.
After getting off the airship, Cagalli jumped excitedly as soon as her feet touched the ground, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Yeah~ It still tastes the same as before!"
Seeing her performance, I wanted to laugh very much, so I joked: "Can you really smell the difference between the air here and the air in Moonlight City?"
"Of course!" Cagalli said with a proud look on her face: "The air in Moonlight City is too pure, with only the smell of vegetation, but it is different here. The air here is mixed with the faint smell of blood and the unique flavor of beef and mutton. .”
"Does the smell of blood and cattle and sheep smell good?"
"It doesn't smell good," Cagalli said with emotion, "but it is the smell of childhood."
I fell silent.
Yes, childhood is the most unforgettable memory, and it is also the deepest and softest memory buried in my heart.
Once you touch it, you will be filled with emotions and unable to extricate yourself.
We did not go directly to Master Dewey, but went to the nearest small restaurant first and ordered a few barbecue dishes. While tasting the authentic Dasay City barbecue flavor, we talked about the rumors among the diners.
Custom shops, casinos, and neighborhood corners are the three most suitable places for gathering intelligence and obtaining real-time news.
The small restaurant is not large, but there are many diners, and most of them are acquaintances. They often talk loudly and unobtrusively. Maybe one sentence accurately describes the current situation of Zephyr Continent.
Therefore, I have to keep my ears open at all times and capture as much as possible every conversation among the diners.
Cajiali saw that I was eating slowly and little, and was a little confused. She raised her head and looked at me. Seeing me winking at her, she thought for a moment and understood what I meant. So she called the waiter, set up a stove, and started cooking again. There are a lot of fresh meat bones, which on the surface are roasted carefully, but actually create more listening time for me.
In the late autumn of Dashai City, the cold wind was already blowing. The diners eating out were eager to go home early and warm up in bed with their arms around the woman.
Only those who are truly natives of Dashai City will set up a stove like Cagalli, feeling the biting cold while enjoying the scorching light of the fire, and taste the beauty between ice and fire, cold and heat. Steaming delicious barbecue.
This taste is like being in heaven.
The diners were initially vigilant to lower their voices because of the appearance of two strangers, Cagalli and me. However, as the stove was set up, they soon concluded that Cagalli and I might only come here rarely. The diners who ate there were all natives of Dasai City, and the chatter and laughter gradually became more relaxed.
There was even a rugged lion man who enthusiastically hugged my shoulders: "Brother, are you from Dashai City?"
"Hey, my discerning eye, how did you see it?"
The lion man said proudly: "Isn't this obvious? Only we, the people of Dasai City, know how to enjoy the happiness sandwiched between ice and fire!"
"That's right, it would be even more fun if we had another wrestling match!"
When the lion man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother, let's have a game?"
"Then let's have a game to warm up and eat more later."
After that, the lion man and I went to the specially reserved space in the restaurant and had a savage wrestling.
I mentioned before that we are experts when it comes to wrestling!
Not to mention the Lion Tribe, even the Elephant Tribe don’t want to beat me!
During the days when I lived in Dashai City, I was invincible in the world. This was probably another reason why Cagalli fell in love with me.
When we met, the lion man was thrown to the ground by me.
This rugged man was also an upright person. After getting up from the ground, he immediately accepted defeat.
We put our arms around each other's shoulders, drinking and laughing.
Cagalli, who was sitting opposite me, had a pair of beautiful eyes shining like the moon in the sky. As she looked at her, her cheeks turned red, showing a trace of nostalgia and a hint of shyness.
With the added bonus of wrestling as a sport, the people in the store treated me as one of their own. The owner of the store even gave me a plate of special beef.
The closer the distance is, the more words can be said.
One of the orc men was drinking, and slammed the cup on the table with a bang, causing the wine inside to burst out: "Those bastards in Airui City have repeatedly made trouble for us. I wish I could hold explosives in my arms. Die with them!"
"Well said!" Several orc men clapped their hands in agreement.
Seeing that I didn't respond, the orc came over with a cup, sat astride me, and said in a rough voice: "Hey, boy, you are also from Dasai City, tell me what you think!"
"my thoughts?"
"Yes, I want to hear your thoughts." He took a sip of wine and said before he was still drunk.
"I don't agree to die with them."
"Huh?" The orc raised an eyebrow: "Are you afraid of death?"
"Fear of death is one thing, but I also think there is no need to waste your life on this."
"You're just Hiccup, you're afraid of death!" The orc became increasingly unhappy.
But soon, it was stopped by a lion man: "Listen to him."
After everyone calmed down, I continued: "Holding explosives and dying together with the enemy is very heroic, heroic, and admirable. However, it is also a stupid behavior."
