The People Walking in Dungeons Are Surely Not Normal

Chapter 903 Sincerity

"Well, that's it. Thinking about it this way, it's understandable that you suddenly recalled Emily. It just happened so coincidental. Not long after Emily left here, my guild was attacked."

"I have heard about your experience, and I express my deep sympathy for it."

"Don't sympathize with me, okay?" I said dumbfounded, "We didn't have any big losses, we're just a little more tired than usual."

"Being able to protect yourself from a sudden ambush means your guild's strength cannot be underestimated."

When Elder Mai Sonoda said this, her expression was very indifferent, and I couldn't tell whether she was praising me or giving me advice.

Since I couldn't tell the difference, I didn't bother to guess any more, so I climbed up the pole and said, "Your compliment really makes me feel honored, Mr. Elder."

The elder chuckled lightly and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked me: "Has anyone been deliberately contacting you recently?"

"People who contact me?" I thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there are many."

"Really?" The elder's expression became more complicated. He was anxious to know the answer but also wanted to be reserved and dignified.

Seeing her in a dilemma, I couldn't help but want to laugh in my heart. This may be the only reason that can support me to work with Elder Mai Sonoda - her straightforwardness.

It's easier to get along with a straightforward person than to get along with a hypocritical person, at least you don't have to guess what she means.

Elder Mai Sonoda hesitated to speak. Thinking about it, she was very eager to know who I was in contact with.

I deliberately delayed her for a while and then said: "People in my guild are in contact with me every day, and when I go to the dungeon, many elves take the initiative to greet me. I feel that they are doing it deliberately. Reach out to me.”

Elder Mai Sonoda's face turned ugly. It seemed that she minded that I was making fun of her. This may be the only drawback of getting along with a straightforward person - it is too easy to express emotions.

For this, I had to raise my hands to apologize: "Sorry, sorry, Elder Mai Sonoda, I was joking with you just now. In fact, until now, no strange elf has deliberately touched me."

After hearing my answer, Elder Mai Sonoda's expression finally softened a little, and she said calmly: "You shouldn't joke about this kind of thing. The reason why I ask you this question is for your own good."

"Allow me to doubt it, Mr. Elder." I interrupted her and said, "You are not asking my question for my benefit."

"Why not?" Elder Mai Sonoda said seriously: "If you have too much contact with the fallen elves, you will be harmed by them, and at the same time, you will become our enemy. Kill two birds with one stone, what do you think?"

I thought about it, pursed my lips, and said, "What you said makes sense, but Elder Mai Sonoda, why do you suddenly ask me such a question?"

"That's because I think you have the potential to become a friend of our elves"

The tone of her words was not careless at all, and she didn't even need to listen carefully to know that they were all lies.

I sighed and said: "Master Elder, we have known each other for a long time. We have made enemies and cooperated here and there. We have had a lot of interactions. Although we don't know everything about it, we don't know it anymore. A stranger can still be considered an acquaintance, so as an acquaintance, I would like to ask you for advice, Mr. Elder, do you think it is better to tell lies when talking to an acquaintance, or to be sincere?"

"It depends on the position of that acquaintance," Elder Mai Sonoda said: "If he is on the same front as us, he must tell the truth. If not, then he can only tell the truth and lie."

"Since you have said so, I would like to ask you, Mr. Elder, do you think I am the kind of person who is not on the same front as you, right?"

After hearing this, Elder Sonoda Mai frowned slightly and said displeased: "Why do you say that?"

"Because your previous answers are all lies. What is the potential to become a friend of the elves? If the potential of becoming a friend of the elves is achieved by testing and questioning, then I think the time will come when the elves will not have a friend. Not far away.”

"An Xiaoyi, your words are very rude!" Elder Sonoda Wu said seriously.

"Elder Mai Sonoda, your questions and answers are truly rude," I countered.

Her face flushed slightly, her brows furrowed, and her eyes stared at me fiercely, as if a child was glaring fiercely at the kid who was snatching her lollipop.

I sighed and said: "Elder, you don't have to look at me so viciously. What I said before is actually the truth. Think about it, would you feel comfortable if I questioned you again and again? "

Elder Mai Sonoda glared at me for a while, and then she let out a fierce breath. While letting out her anger, she shook her head slightly as a response to my question.

"That's right," I continued: "So, if you really want to know something, it's best to ask me with your sincerity, so as not to make things awkward, you said Yes or no?"

Elder Mai Sonoda remained silent, but the expression on his face was no longer as ferocious as before. He must have acknowledged my words.

After a while, she said: "I admit that I did lie and deceive you just now. In fact, when we were packing up the things left by the suspect, we found several letters, one of which was related to you."

"Ah?" I pretended not to know anything and said in surprise: "Letter related to me? It seems like I haven't written a letter for a long time."

"No, it doesn't mean the letter you wrote, but the content of the letter mentioned you." Elder Mai Sonoda said: "It seems that the organization that stole our clan's design plans wants to take the opportunity to win over you."

"Win me over?" I asked doubtfully, "What can I win over?"

"Because of your relationship with Fort Vicky," Elder Mai Sonoda said bluntly: "The people in that organization obviously want to get the complete version of the puppet design through you."

"So that's it." I shrugged and said, "In that case, that organization is really pitiful."

"Pitiful?"

"That's right," I said, "Actually, my relationship with Fort Vicky hasn't reached that level yet. The last time I was able to ask for the design drawings, it was just because Fort Vicky planned to establish diplomatic relations with Moonlight City."

"What you said was too understatement." Elder Mai Sonoda suddenly became serious and said, "Besides, you also said just now that if you want to communicate, you must be sincere."

"Huh, okay, you are really good at learning and applying it now." I said a little helplessly, "But can you promise to keep it a secret for me after hearing my truth?"
