Chapter 96
Ai Xue followed Sui Yu and the others through many ups and downs along the way. Moreover, this girl not only knows all kinds of knowledge, but also her own style of behavior is also very low-key and introverted.?.`
Along the way, she had all kinds of strange doubts from Sui Yu and his words and deeds, such as the almost brainwashed loyalty of Philomina and the often talked in languages she couldn't understand. Especially after Catwoman Xue joined the team, Ai Xue heard the strange noun about Avalon more than once from Sui Yu.
However, Ai Xue didn't ask anything, as if those doubts did not appear at all.
When Sui Yu specially found Ai Xue to discuss what she would do next and asked Ai Xue why she was indifferent to these questions, Ai Xue replied softly: "Who has no secrets? Especially for those who work in our mercenary craft, basically everyone has many stories."
Only then did Sui Yu realize that the emotional heroes don’t ask about the origin of the mercenary world is the default rule that everyone has!
But everyone is about to return to Avalon, and Sui Yu must arrange Ai Xue before this, so he asked Ai Xue with a serious look on his face: "So, can I trust you?"
Ai Xue was silent for a while and shook her head slightly and replied softly: "I don't know, people always become, I really don't know! Maybe one day in the future I might betray everyone for...!"
Ai Xue said it very lightly, so lightly that even if she looked at her lips, she didn't know what she was saying.
Then Ai Xue said to Sui Yu with a rare sad expression on her face: "I clearly feel everyone's kindness to me, and you even distributed me 100 gold coins after completing the task, which helped me a lot!"
"But, I'm really scared, afraid that because you trust me, I have to betray you under some pressure. So I have been trying to control myself from letting me get too in touch with your secrets, and I don't even dare to chat with everyone too much just to prevent you from knowing too much! Actually, I am..."
"The descendant of the destitute noble!" Sui Yu took Ai Xue's words and made a summary. After this period of understanding of Ai Xue, combined with the complete information obtained before. Sui Yu naturally knew that Ai Xue should be the descendant of a decent noble.
This also explains why Ai Xue can study in the Griffin Empire, and also explains why Ai Xue can find a stable job based on her magic level, but she has to embark on the path of mercenary blood-licking - only a high-risk mercenary profession can get a higher income!
As for why Ai Xue made so much money, her equipment was still so shabby (the magic wand made of iron stick was very rough, and you could tell at a glance that it was Ai Xue himself). Sui Yu understood as soon as he thought about it, it must be because this kind girl had to bear the burden of the entire family, which led to the cute girl's equipment not being updated, and she had to live with the God of Death every day, not to mention that she had to live today and not tomorrow!
"Well, this is easy to guess. Because I guess you have known my identity for a long time, but I didn't stay away from it, so I don't want to disappoint you after you get your trust. As a devastated nobleman, my parents will definitely force me to do anything for the sake of family rejuvenation! And I..."
Ai Xue said at the end, with a sad look on her face, and then said to Sui Yu softly: "You are here to find me this time. Everyone should go to a secret place, right? I wonder if you will come back again? Although I know that my ability is insufficient, and both combat power and mercenary experience cannot keep up with your pace, I still hope that when you come back one day, I can still let me join your team again...?`"
"I admit that I am very selfish and hope to continue to make money easily with you, but I really like the atmosphere in the team. I really hope to continue to stay in such a team! In fact, I really don't want to be apart from everyone!"
As Ai Xue said, she couldn't help but shed tears. Sui Yu raised her hand but could only let it go. The best way to do this scene was naturally to take Ai Xue into her arms and comfort her softly. However, in order to prevent Sui Yu from taking advantage of the opportunity, Philomina had long sent Angelina's shadow demon to follow Sui Yu...
Yes, behind Ai Xue, Angelina had already "holded" the "sign" and wrote a letter: "Do you still remember Philomina in the Warcraft Forest?!" to remind Sui Yu not to do something to be sorry Philomina.
"I have decided to take you to Avalon!" Sui Yu was a little embarrassed for a while, then took the opportunity to think about it and made a promise.
"Go to Avalon?" Ai Xue looked puzzled and said to Sui Yu with some anxiety: "But, although you distributed my gold coins last time enough for the family to support me for a while, if I couldn't go home for a long time because of a long trip, I'm afraid my family members..."
"Don't worry!" Sui Yu waved his hand and smiled and said to Ai Xue, "Avalon is not far away! And if you are really worried, I'll lend you another hundred or two hundred gold coins to send to your home?"
Although Sui Yu prefers to be careful in some expenses (in order to save the extra money spent directly purchasing materials from the Artifact Materials Exchange, Sui Yu had to purchase supplies from an inventory every day, and then dragged his heavy steps back to Avalon), he was very generous to Zhan Ji.
Although Ai Xue is not considered a war girl, Sui Yu naturally regarded her as his own after she joined the Tianling Mercenary Group. So after receiving the reward from Elna Port, Sui Yu immediately expressed his intention to share Ai Xue's 150 gold coins.
Yes, Sui Yu had to pay Ai Xue one-tenth of the reward at the beginning, but after Ai Xue expressed surprise, Sui Yu regretted that he had returned fifty gold coins. However, these fifty gold coins. Sui Yu told Ai Xue that he would use the money to buy a new piece of equipment for Ai Xue.
Ai Xue, who knew her abilities and had not made any outstanding contributions in the mission, was naturally overjoyed by these hundred gold coins, and even she rarely showed a stiff smile.
Then Ai Xue promised Sui Yu that she would exchange fifty gold coins for her equipment and kept thanking Sui Yu. The smart Ai Xue could naturally understand what the equipment Sui Yu wanted to exchange for her from the equipment on the warriors!
Now, when Sui Yu actually offered to lend her money, Ai Xue was even more moved and couldn't help but shed tears and said to Sui Yu in a very trembling tone: "Don't be so kind to me, I'm really worried about me..."
He raised his hand and placed his index finger in front of Ai Xue's lips to stop Ai Xue from talking. Sui Yu continued to smile and said to her: "I believe in you!"
The four words directly made Ai Xue's tears break through the dam. Then the girl who always had a tense face and tried to hide her feelings directly hugged Sui Yu's waist and leaned against Sui Yu's chest and cried.
"Cough cough" A crisp cough sounded, Philomina pushed the door and walked into the room, then asked Sui Yu with a little embarrassed expression, "Dear, have you already negotiated with Sister Ai Xue? Is Sister Ai Xue willing to go with us?"
Ai Xue left Sui Yu's side as if he was electrocuted. He didn't know whether Ai Xue reacted so much because she was successfully caught by Philomina or because of the "Dear" that she realized that she was not the intimate elder sister but the elder brother... (Whenever this moment... Sui Yu expressed great confusion!)
Shaking his head and shook off his extremely entangled mood. Sui Yu asked Ai Xue, who lowered his head and seemed a little shy, "How is it? Are you willing to go to Avalon with me? Actually, it is not far away. If we get there fast enough, it will take less than a week to go back and forth!"
Remote positioning is carried out through the space track mark quietly placed by Hakeya. If Sui Yu doesn't care about Avalon's energy consumption, using Avalon's large teleportation array can directly send Sui Yu and others to Bryce Town or even Port Elna, so even if you stay in Avalon for a long time, you don't have to worry about delaying back and forth too long.
"That's it, then let's go out now!" Ai Xue nodded softly and agreed to Sui Yu's invitation.
Since she had confirmed Ai Xue's stay or not, Sui Yu immediately said to Philomina: "Mina. Notify everyone immediately, rest for one night and leave early tomorrow morning!"
"Yes! Your will!" Philomina answered seriously and glanced at Ai Xue before turning around and left. Sui Yu turned his hand and took out two packs of bulging wallets and handed them to Ai Xue and said to her: "Ai Xue, if you have something to do, please do it as soon as possible. There are two hundred gold coins here. If not enough, I will try my best to help you!"
Ai Xue wanted to refuse, but Sui Yu left the gold coins on the table and turned around and left.
Not only because the atmosphere in Ai Xue's room was a bit awkward, but also because a kitten girl hadn't seen Sui Yu for so long. I'm afraid she'd be scared again...
The kitten girl wearing a cloak covered her orc characteristics went to watch a drama called "Five Little Forces Three Fights of the Big Demon King", then went back to the hotel for a sumptuous dinner and slept for a night, the next morning, Sui Yu and his party set out on the road back to Avalon.
Since Sui Yu had fewer reels on the city, and he obtained legal horses from Barron, Sui Yu did not waste the return scroll for life to save his life but rode his horse to the Warcraft Forest where Avalon was.
Due to the horses given to Barron, the journey was still very fast. Even though Sui Yu took a break twice in the middle, the war girls made two big meals, and finally used them a little more than a day. Sui Yu and his group arrived at Jim Village smoothly.
Not seen for more than a month, the walls of Jim Village have not only been reinforcing and appearing stronger, but also have a much larger population than when Sui Yu came last time. At the same time, there are also a lot more buildings in the village. It seems that everyone in the village can live in a more comfortable stone house without worrying that a gust of wind will blow down the house.
All this is naturally caused by the significant improvement in the physical fitness of all the villagers in Jim Village. Standing on the streets of Jim Village, Sui Yu could see villagers walking vigorously everywhere, even the chase and fight between the children were flying between the roof walls, and the eaves and walls crossing the houses. The ordinary children who squat on the ground playing with mud were simply weak compared to these villains!
"Mr. Demon God, you are here!" As if he had heard the report from the militia, Sui Yu and his group entered the village, the old village chief rushed over and greeted Sui Yu and the others with energy.
The adjectives of old-fashioned and full of energy can be mixed and made Sui Yu feel uncomfortable no matter how you look at it, but it is always a good thing for the old village chief to be strong - Toriya is his Sui Yu's apprentice, and Sui Yu naturally hopes that Toriya's father can have a good body.
"Demon God?!" "It's Lord Demon God!" "The Lord Demon God is here!"
Hearing the screams of the surrounding villagers, Sui Yu's face froze. It is not difficult to see from the fact that these villagers can recognize his identity at the first time... the statue of the demon god who cheated on his father was really established, and it was definitely built with his appearance wearing green steel battle armor!
"I said why did I forget something? After completing the task of expelling the wolf pack, I forgot to stop the old village chief from building a statue!" Sui Yu felt regretful. It was not good to forget something, but he forgot about it!
However, it was not Sui Yu forgot about the matter at the beginning. Everyone kept the matter together. As soon as they completed the task of dispersing the wolves, they received the task of clearing the monsters on the road. Moreover, the task time was relatively short, so Sui Yu had to cheat and lure the monsters to kill them to complete the task.
What's even more tricky is that Sui Yu thought of a way to cheat after ordering Song to lead his wolves back to Avalon. At the same time, the mission system did not count the monsters to be killed after resurrection, otherwise Sui Yu would not have to work so hard at that time.
So, with such delay, the strong and strong Jim Village villagers who believed in Sui Yu used the stone collected from a distance to build Sui Yu's statue in one month! So even though Sui Yu stood among a group of war girls, he was still recognized by the villagers at a glance!
Of course, this also explains why the numerical growth of the power of faith has been relatively fast recently, but Sui Yu would rather not have those increased power of faith in exchange for the statue that will completely become his dark history.
Seeing Sui Yu in a daze, the old village chief seemed to think that the enthusiasm of the surrounding villagers made Sui Yu very happy. At this time, the old village chief pointed at the villagers who bowed to Sui Yu with excitement and said to Sui Yu: "Mr. Demon God, not only is your number of believers increasing now, but everyone's belief in you is becoming more and more firm! I believe that in the near future, the statue of the Lord will stand in every corner of the world! Let more people feel the care of Lord God! At the same time, more lost lambs find the right path in life!"
The old village chief said this so smoothly. It seems that this person usually says such similar things.
This made Sui Yu unable to help but sigh. I am afraid that before he knew it, the old village chief had become the real and nameless pope of Sui Yu...
However, Sui Yu has no time to explore the title of the old village chief now. He is just thinking about a painful question. That is, the old village chief actually wants to spread his statue of his god all over the earth. That means that his dark history will let everyone in the world know that the demon god they believe in is a woman's clothing fetish?!
Just when Sui Yuya Huazi was a little painful, Ai Xue couldn't help but interrupt and said to the old village chief: "You actually believe in Commander Yu? But, when the god you believe in stood in front of you and lost the mystery, why do you still believe in him so firmly?"
It seems that Ai Xue has also studied the relationship between God and faith, so she pointed out one of the basic means of the church gathering faith in one sentence, which is to maintain the necessary sense of mystery - human beings like to awe of unknown things, thus leading to worship and ultimately forming firm beliefs.
"Mysterious?" The old village chief explained with disdain on his face: "That is the lost lambs who cannot truly feel the benefits brought by those gods, so the churches of other gods have to rely on the mystery to ensure faith! But the demon gods we believe in can give us real power!"
Speaking of this, the old village chief raised a piece of two or three meters long stone waiting to be cut and said to Ai Xue: "Look. Even old man, I can gain such powerful power after I believe in the Demon God. How could the big guy not be firm in his belief in the Demon God?!"
So Ai Xue immediately said to Sui Yu in surprise: "So this is your biggest secret? Are you... you are the reincarnation of an ancient god?"
"No, I don't know why they can gain strength after believing in me, but this is always a good thing. Right?" Sui Yu couldn't explain why he could gain combat level by believing in him. And just now, Sui Yu glanced at him and found that the old village chief who believed in the most devout, and at this time the battle level had reached level 35!
Moreover, the combat profession has also changed from a peasant to an archbishop!
Sui Yu asked a little along the way and found that the title of archbishop was actually self-proclaimed by the old village chief, but it seemed that because everyone recognized this identity. In addition, the actions of the old village chief were worthy of the identity of this archbishop, so his combat profession turned out to be archbishop!
Moreover, even the growth of attributes seems to have undergone great changes. Not only is the old village chief's strength higher, but Sui Yu can easily draw the conclusion that the old village chief has become an excellent spell caster from the active magic elements around the old village chief!
Sure enough, Sui Yu asked as soon as he asked. Although the old village chief did not understand the magic casting skills, with his inexplicable control over magic elements, the old village chief could almost instinctively cast magic bombs of various magical systems!
In this way, when Sui Yu was surprised (using reconnaissance techniques, Sui Yu saw that most villagers in Jim Village had combat levels of 20 to 30, and also had combat professions ranging from farmers, militias to temple knights, and high priests). Even Ai Xue couldn't help but show her shock (through the eyes of insight, Ai Xue saw no less than Sui Yu, and even more intuitive than Sui Yu saw). At the same time, Sui Yu and his group were arranged by the old village chief in a courtyard that had just been built and looked very neat and clean.
According to the old village chief, this courtyard was built by the villagers and used specifically to rest for Sui Yu and the others. In addition, the villagers who rushed over after hearing the news kept offering the best tributes that each family could produce to Sui Yu. Sui Yu was moved by the enthusiasm of the villagers all night!
So much so that when he placed the horses in Jim Village the next day and led everyone to Avalon, Sui Yu then remembered that it seemed that he had forgotten to warn the old village chief not to let his black historical statue continue to spread to the whole world!
However, just as Sui Yu was about to turn back to Jim Village to remind the old village chief, accompanied by a refreshing breeze, fifteen women in blue robes fell from the sky.
Just as Ai Xue looked at the fifteen wind-type female magicians who had mastered flying magic and had blocked her way with a look of alert, the fifteen female magicians all knelt down to Sui Yu, and shouted in unison: "The Elegant Wind Teams of the Magic Wings are ordered to welcome the Supreme Lord! Welcome the Supreme Lord home!"
