Chapter 342 Goblins Who Care About Personal Reputation
"The dead wood is coming back to life?" Cagalli asked in surprise.
"Back to life?" Barbara asked in surprise.
"It's so magical~" Phoenix grabbed my arm, swung it around, and said, "Xiaoyi, show your skills and destroy him completely!"
Me: (⊙﹏⊙)b
"Strange girl, don't make trouble." Cagalli pulled the phoenix, but did not pull away: "This is an advanced skill for priests. Xiaoyi is a warrior, he doesn't know it."
"Oh" Phoenix stuck out his little tongue and continued to hang on my arm.
"Hello, I'm Cagalli, welcome to join the Fearless Guild."
Taylor stared at me and said, "Isn't this your guild?"
I spread my hands and said, "This is the result of a weak husband. In my bones, there is a strong will to control my wife. Outside, I have the final say. The three of them have the final say in matters at home."
After hearing this, Taylor sighed deeply, full of melancholy and emotion.
"Hey, from what you say, you've been here too?"
I looked at him teasingly.
"That happened many years ago. Hey, let's not mention it." As he said this, he fell into deeper melancholy.
In fact, I am very familiar with this behavior. It is a precursor to asking us to ask him to continue talking. Unfortunately, the three women did not take the bait and were completely unmoved. Cagalli said to me: "Then let's get busy. We still need to continue decorating our home today, and there are a lot of things that haven’t been done yet.”
I nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
After the three women left, Taylor raised his head again, and I smiled and said, "Old man, this trick of yours is useless."
He scratched his head and sighed: "Why don't today's children like to pry into other people's privacy? I remember when I just told you, you were pestering me every day to ask questions."
"That's because your medical clinic is sparsely crowded, and there's no one talking. There's nothing else to do except listen to your stories."
Taylor covered his forehead and said sadly: "You bastard, do you always speak so straightforwardly?"
"That's not the case," I said, "tell the truth to real people and tell lies to fake people. You are so real that I feel embarrassed to tell lies."
Soon, the meal was ready, and a group of people sat together, preparing to eat.
Before using chopsticks, I introduced Taylor to everyone, and everyone enthusiastically welcomed Taylor to join.
Only Gordo had a strange brilliance in his eyes.
Seeing the complicated brilliance in his eyes, I felt a little confused. Is he trying to bend Taylor too?
He won't even let go of an old man, it's such a beast.
After eating, Taylor moved a chair and lay down in the yard in a grand manner, looking like an old man.
Phoenix and others had no time to pay attention to the old man's behavior. In their opinion, Taylor was just a grandpa. It was perfectly normal for a grandpa to lie down in the yard and take a nap after eating.
After Taylor came, the others did not have any changes in their daily routines, but Lily was very happy.
From the time after dinner to when I was preparing to go to the dungeon, Lily kept pestering Taylor to tell her stories.
Although Tyler has a yelling attitude towards us grown men, he rarely shows his gentle side towards Lily, a little loli.
That way, he is exactly like a grandfather who dotes on his granddaughter.
Loki was hiding aside and kept looking at Lily. I asked curiously, "What's the matter with you? You look like a peeping tom?"
"No," Loki said worriedly, "I see that old man is always smiling at Lily. I'm afraid that he will do something bad and lead Lily astray. I have to monitor him at all times and be ready to stop him at any time. he."
I:
Just at this moment, Cagalli's voice came: "Loki, don't be lazy, come and help!"
"Okay, big sister!"
Loki immediately turned into a flattering expression.
I'll pour it!
Just as he was about to go out, he heard Gordo's voice from behind: "Captain, wait for me."
Oh, I need to tell you here that Gordo will only call me Xiaoyi when he is alone with me. At other times, he will mostly call me captain, and occasionally he will call me boss.
"Huh?" I stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Captain, can I go to the dungeon with you?"
I thought about it and said, "No, you have to stay and protect everyone."
Gordo looked a little disappointed. He said oh and was about to turn around and go back. I said again: "However, if you have any questions and need to consult me, you can come to me at any time. I am at night, but I am used to watching the moon for a while." Oh~"
Gordo's eyes lit up: "Okay, Captain!"
After leaving the door, I did not go directly to the dungeon, but first went to Old Patch's weapons shop.
Opening the door, Lao Pachi was humming a song and fiddling with his abacus. Seeing me coming, he said with a relaxed face: "Isn't this Xiao Yi? What kind of wind brings you here?"
I smiled and said: "A wind from the north!"
Old Patch said: "It will take several days before the outer armor is ready. You are not in a hurry and are here to urge me?"
"How can it be possible~" I said hehely: "You are an expert, so I can trust you 100%. You have the time, and just let me know when it's ready."
"Huh?" Old Patch raised his head and gave me a deep look: "That's not right, An Xiaoyi, you are not in the right state today. To be honest, is there something you are hiding from me?"
"How could this happen, hahaha!"
I scratched my head, not even I believed what I said.
"Hey" Old Patch sighed: "If you have any questions, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can. No matter what, you are my wife's savior."
"Look at what you said. You've seen a lot of people, and you're a lifesaver~" I lowered my voice and leaned over: "How is your wife's condition now?"
Old Patch fiddled with his abacus, smiling all over his face: "It's much better, I'm conscious now. Although I can't get off the ground yet, I can feel that she has recognized me!"
At the end of the story, Old Patch was extremely excited, just like hearing a child call daddy for the first time.
"Congratulations," I said hurriedly. Then, a question came to my mind: "I said, old expert, why did your wife get this kind of poison? Have you ever offended the goblin royal family in any way?"
Old Patch pinched his bald chin and said, "No, do you think I can offend the royal family?"
"Like" I hit him mercilessly and said, "I guess you probably sold fakes to the royal family. Otherwise, how could they do this to you?"
"No, this definitely doesn't happen," Old Patch argued: "Although I sometimes extort money, I don't sell fakes. You probably don't know that I am a goblin who cares about my personal reputation very much!"
