Chapter 989 Achilles Is Injured

After a day of killing monsters, we left the dungeon and headed home.

As soon as I entered my house, I saw a staff member from the Adventurer Base running to me and handing me a letter.

In order to dispel the unresolved jealousy of Fenghuang and others, I opened the envelope in front of them and spread the letter flat on the table.

There were only a few numbers written on the letter: Achilles had returned with the second young master, Achilles was injured, the second young master was in a coma, and all other entourage members had been confirmed dead.

After reading this sentence, the hall fell silent for an instant. Everyone who was still laughing and joking stopped talking, with a look of surprise on their faces - except for Taylor, the old man was still sitting and drinking, as if it was heaven. Nothing down there is as important as the purple nectar in the bottle in your hand.

After a short silence, Cagalli spoke first: "Is the Achilles mentioned above the one I met before?"

I said 'hmm': "That's him."

Cagalli's eyes were full of disbelief: "Such a strong guy can actually get hurt."

I said calmly: "The Zephyr Continent is too big. There are many things that we have never heard of, including many existences that are so powerful that they are incredible. Maybe Achilles and the others just happened to encounter some of them."

Lylea suddenly approached me and asked: "Xiao Yi, do you know where Achilles and the others went before?"

I nodded: "I know, it's the forest between Airei City and York Han City."

"The forest between Ai Rui City and York City." Lillea tapped her red lips with her scallion finger, thought for a moment, and said, "Oh, I remembered it. It is said that there are monsters in that forest. It is very dangerous. Very few people will choose to enter. Enter it, what are the second young master and Achilles going there to do?"

Phoenix, who was close to my left arm, bit his lip, as if he wanted to say something.

I turned to her and said, "Fenghuang, do you have anything to say?"

Phoenix nodded.

"What?"

Phoenix whispered: "I'm hungry, can you cook first?"

This sentence directly destroyed the serious atmosphere in the hall. Yura shook his magic robe slightly and said with a smile: "That's good. Actually, I'm also hungry. I just endured it because I didn't want to disturb the serious atmosphere brewed by everyone." of."

Just at this moment, the proprietress and her group came back, and the people gathered near the coffee table dispersed in a hurry, each going about their own business. The serious atmosphere in the hall completely collapsed.

At the coffee table, there were only me and Princess Analita sitting opposite. I asked Analita: "Princess, what do you think of this news?"

Princess Analita was flipping the letter back and forth. When she saw that there was no writing on it, she threw it on the coffee table, thought about it for a moment, and said: "I don't have any special thoughts about this news, that Achilles Although he is the attendant of the legendary hero and is described as very powerful in historical documents, he is far from the strongest. As long as he is not the strongest, there will definitely be someone who can hurt him, defeat him, or even kill him. It’s just that these things are rarely seen in our lives.”

I pinched my chin and nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense. As expected of a princess, her thoughts are thorough."

Princess Analita looked at me with a disgusted expression.

I:?

Analita said: "Why do I feel like you are burying me with your words?"

"Really?" I spread my hands innocently: "I'm not burying you, I'm praising you."

Analita leaned forward, came closer to me, looked into my eyes carefully, and asked, "Really?"

I also leaned forward slightly and looked at her seriously: "Really."

Suddenly, something was inserted in front of my eyes, blocking Princess Analita and I from looking at each other.

I took a closer look and saw that it was a book. I followed the hand holding the book and saw a round-faced girl with an unhappy expression staring at me fiercely. On both sides of her head, there were a pair of cute furry triangles. Her little ears stood up, it was Barbara, she was angry and jealous at the same time.

I smiled, took down the book and put it on the coffee table. I took Barbara's hand and pulled her to sit next to me. I reached out and tapped the tip of her nose: "What's wrong? You look angry." ?”

Barbara tilted her face arrogantly: "Humph!"

She hummed and hugged her arms, looking exactly like the boss's wife who was several sizes younger.

I was so amused by her arrogant little appearance that I almost laughed out loud. I reached out and rubbed her short hair: "Barbara, be good, don't be angry~"

"Humph!" Barbara continued to be arrogant.

Princess Analita, who was sitting opposite, burst out laughing.

Barbara's cat eyes instantly stared at her, and she let out a heavy 'hum' again.

I glanced at the book on the coffee table that Barbara had just held. It was a storybook telling the deeds of legendary heroes.

I picked up the storybook and flipped through a few pages. I could basically make out the words on it. I asked Barbara, "Would you like to hear a story?"

Barbara turned and stared at me for a moment, then nodded slightly.

I cleared my throat, opened the book, and started talking vividly.

The content of the story is actually quite routine, that is, the legendary hero's family was miserable when he was a child, but he was gifted with extraordinary talents and extraordinary fighting ability. After some arduous training, the legendary hero finally grew up and became a hero. He must be quite awesome. At that time, monsters in the dungeon rioted, broke through the portal of the dungeon, and came to the Zephyr Continent. They burned, killed, and looted, and committed all kinds of evil. At this time, the legendary hero who was already quite awesome appeared on the stage. All the monsters in the town were wiped out. Under his leadership, Zephyr Continent began to win successively, and the monsters that broke out of the dungeon were eliminated one by one. In the meantime, he also received a reward for saving a beautiful girl. At the end of the story, facing the powerful final boss, the legendary hero suffered a heavy blow. At the critical moment, the beautiful girl blocked the monster's fatal blow with her body, and the legendary hero died. Grief turned into strength, and he killed the boss in one go. Killing the boss should have been a very satisfying thing, but because of the girl's death, the legendary hero fell into deep pain.

In fact, I feel that if the story reaches this point, it might have a pretty good ending. After all, tragedy is far more profound than comedy. However, the person who compiled this story has a glass heart and abruptly added another paragraph - it was already The girl who was completely dead was resurrected by the power of the God of Creation, and then everyone was so happy!

After reading the last word of this story, my expression was confused and my mood was broken.
