455.Chapter 453 452 Return of the Wise Man and New Adventure [Plus 1
Chapter 453: 452. The Return of the Wise Man and New Adventures [加更1925].
(For brother “Who else is going to rob me” [4/5])
The Silver Moon Troupe and the Big Bird Troupe set a time to enter the swamp, Brother Woo Meow ran off to buy seeds, and Lady Water accompanied by Orchid went to the Ancestral Woodland to change her equipment through the psychic’s portal on the Maginot Line, leaving the rest of the group idle.
Little Reed Name pestered Brother Qu to softly let him take her on a ride in a wind vulture, and then fell in love with this beautiful and arrogant flying creature.
She had already begun planning to go to the Ancestor Woodlands to brush up on her reputation after completing the Swamp Raid, and made sure to add a beautiful Wind Wyvern to her pet room.
Although she herself was a vampire and could fly no slower than a wind vulture, who didn’t have a hobby anymore?
What’s wrong with being a little rich girl and liking all these weird things?
Everyone else in the Big Bird group was a single dog.
But one of them had been through a hundred battles and didn’t lick girls, so under Smoke Sang’s leadership they went to the swamp first to acclimatize themselves to the environment, leaving Lumina and Sister Pomegranate in the makeshift camp, as well as the three or five doodles in charge of the guards.
The three people were busy around the fire that was prepared for night lighting, talking one way or another, and after ten minutes or so, Lumina suddenly tilted her head and said:
“There’s a psychic energy fluctuation! It’s close, near us!”
“Huh?”
Sanwu Dou reacted quickly grabbing his warhammer, and next to him, Sister Pomegranate had already popped out her fist blade, who would use psychic energy in this shithole?
Maybe it was the jackals from the swamp that had raided over!
But the situation wasn’t as bad as that, as Sanwu Dou braced up his Unbreakable Heavy Shield and prepared to release the Divine Art Boundary, a scarlet rift unfolded in the ground in front of the three of them.
In the effect of a standard teleportation spell, Moe Haha, who hadn’t been in the game for almost ten days, appeared in front of them with his staff in hand.
The girl still had her old nonchalant, smiling demeanor, and even raised her hand in a friendly wave when she saw Pomegranate, but Pomegranate-san’s expression swished and clouded over.
She gestured to Lumina and Sango Doo to stay where they were, then stepped forward herself and pulled Moeha to the side with a tug on her wrist.
This scene made San Gotou’s eyes widen.
A little confused about the special relationship between these two sisters, he turned back to look at Lumina with a puzzled gaze, hoping she would explain.
Lumina was also a bit numb clawed.
The bard put down the elven flute and pistol in his own hand, thought for a moment and waved his hand at Sanwodou, saying:
“A temper tantrum between hime-mates la, don’t ask too many questions, mostly because I don’t know.”
“Uh, okay.”
Sango Doo scratched her head and lowered her shield, thought for a moment, and asked again:
“Lumi girl, how does it feel to be an elf? Are there any awesome talents like nature affinity or something like that?”
“No, I’m just a half-elf.”
At the mention of this topic, Lumina subconsciously pinched her pointy ears hidden in her hair and showed another happy expression.
She played with the elf flute in her hand and grinned:
“Murphy-sama and Mrs. Tris told me that my bloodline is still incomplete, perhaps it’s because the development team hasn’t gotten a proper idea for their attempts in this regard, in any case, it’s just an attempt, and I think that it’s fine the way it is right now.
But it would be awesome if I can get 100% moon elf bloodline in the future, I heard that the increase of a real moon elf under the moonlight is terrifying.”
“Uh-huh, I also hope that this attempt will yield a good result soon.”
Sitting down by the fire that had been set up, Sanwodo said to Lumina as he wiped down his precious shield:
“I was thinking of turning an Orc or a Minotaur for fun.”
“Huh? What kind of minotaur, huh? The kind that would make Yellow Hair ecstatic?”
“Ah tsk tsk, I didn’t realize you actually knew about this, awesome awesome! Disrespectful disrespectful disrespectful disrespectful disrespectful disrespectful disrespectful.”
—
“Slow down, Little Pomegranate, my hand is about to be yanked off by you!”
In a remote place outside the camp, Moe Haha, who had sent herself precisely to her destination the first time she used teleportation, screamed and broke free from Sister Pomegranate’s bonds.
Mainly because Sister Pomegranate used a bit too much force under her anger, causing red marks to appear on Moe Haha’s wrists.
She comprehended the martial monk’s qi after the power has increased greatly, physical destructive force is not a joke, this is still the pomegranate sister collected the result of the force, if the real force is afraid to be able to give the black iron trial has not yet passed the Moe ha ha’s wrists pinched and crushed.
“You still have the face to say!”
Sister Pomegranate’s expression was ugly as she stared at her good JiYou, she screamed with a rare loss of composure:
“You bastard used me! Thanks to me being so assured of you! I even took you in to live in my home, so tell me honestly, is there still a camera in my home that you left behind to spy on me?”
“Where were you thinking?”
Moe Haha lamented.
She knew before she went online that she would definitely have to pass this hurdle, but Sister Pomegranate’s reaction was really beyond her expectations, and this would only be a helpless answer:
“It’s not like I’m in charge of monitoring, there are specialists in charge, and there’s no need for such backward things as home cameras, in the era of big data, cameras are already technology that’s about to be eliminated, and everyone in the game currently has a full set of files in the relevant departments.
It is also true that your communication with the outside world is monitored, but this is not for the purpose of obtaining your privacy, but only out of proper care and protection.
Pomegranate, calm down!
Although you always do things pugnaciously, I don’t believe that with your brain you can’t imagine why we’re doing this?
I don’t think you don’t understand, you just don’t want to, right?”
Sister Pomegranate coldly didn’t say anything, just hugged her arms and coldly looked at Moe Haha.
She was waiting for her best friend to give her an explanation.
The emotionally intelligent Moe Ha didn’t waste any time pulling any family and national righteousness, she had made a belly laugh beforehand, and this side of her opened her mouth to say:
“Even without our relationship, I would still enter here all the same, it’s my job transfer! I’m not using you either, it’s just purely because you’re already involved. And on the contrary, I didn’t need to go to your place before, but I did anyway.
I had to see for myself how you were doing to feel comfortable.
You can trust me, Pomegranate, I really don’t mean any harm.
Now that the questioning session is over and the results obtained are pretty much perfect, we have decided not to interfere in this current situation, but rather to let it continue and maintain a minimum of attention until something happens that requires intervention.
The external environment due to the pandemic is currently under significant pressure, and officials aren’t putting much effort into tracking down a particular incident of suspected Type 3 contact; it’s currently at the level of a mere ‘urban legend’, and we’re happy to see things go in that direction.
I mean, you don’t have to worry about what I came back for.
I do have my work, but I can assure you that when I’m with you guys, I’m a mere player, and as for my share of the work, I’ll do it offline never interfering with your normal lives.”
Speaking here, Moe Haha put on a miserable look and went forward to hold Sister Pomegranate’s hand as she whispered:
“Just don’t be angry. I know you’re angry because I didn’t confess all of this to you in the first place, but we also have work discipline.
Be good, little Pomegranate.”
“You’ve already got little Vikina involved!”
Pomegranate whispered:
“Your action in dismantling the transporting of the precious pearl gave Little Vikrama a warning, but she was completely implicated by you, and you could have done this risky thing alone, but you had to have her with you.”
“Heaven’s and earth’s honesty, I only asked Little Vikame to help me gather a set of tools.”
Moe Haha said in a screaming voice:
“I repeatedly told her not to get involved, but that little twerp thought it was fun so she stalked me and wanted to see the whole thing… I didn’t mean to… I will apologize to her and seek forgiveness. Don’t get mad, okay?”
“But there’s still so much you’re hiding from me, I feel like I’ve never known you before.”
Garnet shook her head:
“It’s hard for me to trust you as completely as I used to, moeha, when did you…”
“Shhhh, that’s a topic you can’t ask about oh.”
Moeha reached out and put her hand on Pomegranate Sister’s lips, signaling her to stop asking, she looked into Pomegranate Sister’s eyes and said very seriously and sincerely:
“All you need to know is that I wasn’t forced to do this, I didn’t have much hesitation when I was first faced with this job offer.
I’m also honored to be able to make some small contribution to the country with my knowledge, and as for this job specifically now, well, I admit that perhaps part of it does have something to do with you.
But as I said earlier, I will make sure that my work does not affect you. In reality the situation isn’t as bad as you think, with the fact that all players are currently born in the motherland being enough to show that this might be a unique ‘first mover advantage’ for us.
No one wants to force Alpha to abandon their current stall and start over in another country.
You want to trust the vision of the top brass and the level of their think tanks.”
“Okay.”
Sister Pomegranate rubbed her brow as she glanced at the playful Mooha Haha, then scowled again:
“So there are people like you in the game now…”
“Not as much as you think, and I don’t think you should try to tell them apart.”
Moeha warned:
“If you don’t want to have a separate file sequence with the authorities, you need to behave. If things are clear between the two of us, then please get Lumi’s little friend here for me, I need to have a chat with her.”
“Hmm?”
Sister Pomegranate chortled:
“You just said you wouldn’t involve them! Moeha! They’re just a bunch of ordinary people.”
“No, they’re not! Little Pomegranate, you really don’t understand how special your friends are, but don’t be afraid, Lumi isn’t stalled, I just want to get to know the other two in their little circle.”
Moeha said, shaking her head:
“Mainly that ‘Cement Sister’ and the even more mysterious seventh person, ‘Ruyi’, you may not know this, but the night before last, an encrypted message from across the ocean was cracked.
The sender was none other than Sister Cement, and Ruyi helped her deliver the message.
She’s conducting a very dangerous research and it’s not an exaggeration to say that she’s in danger of being ‘canceled’ in the real world at any time, and I had to gather enough information from Lumina here to be able to feed it back to the rest of the team for use in starting preparations for her rescue.
So far, Cement trusts her family more than she trusts outsiders, which is a good sign.”
“Is that so?”
Garnet frowned tightly as she said:
“Then I don’t think you should talk to Lumina, she’s just a normal young girl, you should talk to Mrs. Water and Orchid, I think it’s obvious that they have their own understanding of the game and they’ve known Cement-san much longer, and are rumored to have had a Hime below the line.”
“Well, it’s just as well to talk to them.”
Moeha said with a shrug:
“Wanna come with me to them? Look, I just learned teleportation, Onii-chan herself taught me, and said I’m very talented and invited me to join her ‘Red Magic Hall’ and intends to develop me as her warrior.
Smooth.
It’s said that because I have ‘spatial perception’, the probability of an accident occurring with my teleportation spell is minimized.
Speaking of which, this relative mapping formula between the material world and the astral world seems to be so old that the psychic masters on the continent didn’t think to update it.
These guys are so lazy, I should probably help them out in that regard.”
“I’m not going to.”
Garnet bristled:
“Even 0.1% risk of losing control is still a risk, I’m not going to mess with these dangerous things if I’m fine, Lady Water is in the Ancestor Woodlands now, go find them and bring them back safely by the way.”
“Uh-huh.”
Moeha nodded, she waved her staff, her movements were not very skillful as she opened a scarlet rift.
In that faint escape of astral energy, she turned back to Sister Pomegranate:
“I’m sorry, Pomegranate, for hiding this from you, but I really don’t want this to affect our relationship, and if doing something will make you forgive me faster…”
“I’ve already forgiven you.”
Garnet-san said, but Moeha shook her head and said:
“No you haven’t, I know your stubborn ass all too well, I guess it will take many, many things to make the stigma go away in your heart, but I deserve it…give me some more time, Pomegranate.
I’ll prove that I value this friendship more than many things.
You used to protect me, this time it’s finally my turn to protect you all in the midst of secrecy.”
After saying that, Moongha took a step forward and her figure disappeared into the scarlet chasm, leaving Sister Pomegranate alone still stuck in the remote area at the edge of this swamp, she stared at the scarlet streams of light in front of her eyes as they dissipated, and after several seconds of silence, she clenched her fists and swung them fiercely.
It seemed as if she wanted to vent out all the depression in her heart.
On the other hand, in the elders’ hut of the ancestral woodland, Mrs. Shui was taking off her nun’s robe, wearing only a single piece of clothing to change into the “Spirit of the Mountains and Forests Sacrificial Costume” that she had just spent a great deal of money to exchange for.
She was humming a song, her pretty face full of anticipation.
The main reason was that the design of this set of ceremonial clothing in front of her was very unique, although it carried the rusticity and roughness unique to mountain people, it also incorporated the characteristics of vivid life.
Especially in the waist and abdomen of the ritual dress designed with a large green leaf-like pattern and the embellishment of the sun pattern, so that this set of clothes is full of a kind of singing nature’s ancient atmosphere, rare armless design coupled with a pair of long-sleeved wrist guards with a very clever, but also the water lady as an Avalon believer in the arm of the natural tattoos to show out, so that she adds wild at the same time but also more of a cleric should be a sense of mystery.
In addition to the clever design, the attributes of this suit are also very good, although it does not add attributes, but it has four words and phrases are related to the reinforcement of natural spiritual energy, after wearing it is enough to make Mrs. Water’s milk quantity . Uh, the healing effect would be increased by at least another third.
She could finally switch to a professional milkmaid.
Of course, the best thing about this dress for Mrs. Shui’s “special situation” was that the Ancient Mountain Folk Elders had applied a special natural secret message to the dress when they made it, so that it could be fine-tuned and adapted according to the wearer’s body type, which eliminated the need for Mrs. Shui to modify the size by hand, and also didn’t need to make her feel strangled when she put on the dress! .
But the unexpected soon appeared!
Just as Lady Shui picked up the sacrificial garment and prepared to put it on, a scarlet stream of light suddenly opened up at the top of this hut, and amidst the screams of ghosts and wolves and Lady Shui’s dumbfounded gaze, a silhouette entangled with chaotic power fell down from it in a sorry state, and slammed down onto the bed in front of her with a thud.
The poor wooden bed was broken, and in the dust and dirt, the “teleportation accident” of Moe Haha was lying there with a grimy face.
Several bones were broken, and she ate her teeth and howled in pain.
“Yo, look who’s here, isn’t this our awesome ‘Miss Spy’?”
Mrs. Water spat in a long drawn out voice as she covered her singed torso with her ceremonial dress.
She wasn’t afraid of it, and threw a rejuvenation spell over to make Moeha’s pain slightly less painful.
And the gray-headed Moeha twisted her head to express her gratitude, but at the sight of the overly exaggerated figure of Lady Shui, who was only wearing a single garment, even she, who was incomparably in a sorry state at this time, couldn’t help but spit out:
“Hey! How did you ensure that your upper body is rounded while your lower body is still so well-proportioned? This is not something that can be done with fitness or yoga. Your husband must have saved the galaxy in his previous life, and you were a chimera who got entangled with him in your previous life, right?”
“Gee whiz, it’s not like I can control it if I’m gifted.”
Mrs. Water bristled as she asked:
“So, what are you running here for? Did you come specifically to flirt with me? Do you know that as the current leader of the Silver Moon Regiment, I’m very dissatisfied with what you’ve done in the past period of time.”
“I came to apologize, Little Pomegranate almost beat me up just now.”
Moe Haha said with a squeeze:
“Also, I’m going to ask you about Cement Sealed Heart, I don’t need to hide it in front of you, Cement Sister sent an encrypted message to ‘home’ the day before yesterday with Ruyi’s help, she’s studying the science of Alpha’s gaming helmets and she confirms that she’s been monitored by the other side.
It’s too late for her to leave now, which is why she hasn’t contacted you guys in the past while.
She needs help now.
I can help her, but I need your trust as well as your cooperation.”
“Hey, I knew it.”
Lady Water said as she rubbed her brow helplessly:
“Tell me, how should I cooperate with you?”
“Uh, how about getting dressed first? You’re naked, sis, and if you keep this up, my female confidence is going to be knocked out by your demonic figure . As for Sister Cement, she needs a ‘beacon’!
We need to find a beacon for her in Transylvania.
It’s certainly difficult.
But I don’t think we’re all hopeless.”
