Chapter 1189 Gathering in Aru Village
"Sanqiu, what did you say to Lan Bailijia just now? I saw him jumping up and down there. Did something good happen to him?"
In the sky, Paimeng asked Gu Sanqiu: "Or did you find some treasure and give it to him?"
"Cold knowledge, the Lanaro family probably doesn't have a clear concept of gold, silver and treasures, you money-grubber."
But to be honest, Gu Sanqiu is in a good mood now.
Firstly, he received a gift, and secondly, he knew that Lan Bailijia had tried to send him flowers several times but failed, but this time he finally found the opportunity.
Avoids some of that weird flag-planting stuff like "We'll get married after this war is over."
Gu Sanqiu put his hands behind his back and said, "I told him to be the captain of the flower girl team for you two. After he heard clearly what it was, he was very happy..."
Kong silently pinched the back of Gu Sanqiu's neck from the side: "How long do you plan to play this joke for?"
"Nothing, just try some activities for young people. There are always people of the opposite sex who are in a good relationship and their peers will say they are a couple."
Gu Sanqiu touched his chin and said, "Of course, Master, I have seen even more outrageous versions of the story before."
Imagination is endless, and people can be extremely weird.
Kong was helpless: "Let's not talk about this for now. What is our main mission in the desert? To assist that great disciplinary officer to destroy all the people and plans of the Order?"
"Don't be so murderous. People can't be destroyed easily, because we have to keep them to suffer. Otherwise, it would be too easy for those idiots."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "But to be honest, I don't know what is hidden in the desert. Maybe I need you to trigger some key information."
Sora's movements synchronized: "Let's not discuss this for now. What I'm more worried about is whether Seno's informant in Aru Village will leak our information."
After listening to Gu Sanqiu's summary, Kong always felt that the informant should be a particularly calm type.
As one of the hopes of the entire village, since it is already clear that Seno is very likely to come to the desert to cause trouble, will he really say nothing?
Compared with the hardships in the desert , this would not be the case since the informant is willing to give up the relatively affluent life in Xumi City.
Although it is impossible to involve secrets, some normal reports are definitely necessary.
The elderly village chief may be of little use in this situation, but isn't there a village guard who is said to have high combat power?
Anyone who can protect an entire village in such a harsh environment as the desert cannot be a weakling, unless there is someone else behind the scenes manipulating Aru Village.
"Well, that is a problem, but it has nothing to do with us."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "Anyway, I just happened to run out. Even if that girl named Candice wanted to talk to other people, at most she would just find Seno and the other guy who was peeping with headphones."
Sora, Paimon:?
"Who is spying, spying on you?"
Wow, that person must be very powerful. He is still alive and even Sanqiu doesn’t dare to attack him easily.
"No, don't get the wrong idea. He might be an ally we can win over."
Gu Sanqiu explained: "His personality is a bit similar to Xiao's. He values time very much and is very rational. He is a bit like the type that Paimeng cannot communicate with."
"He's not like Albedo, who can find the right topic to start a conversation with you. He's probably best at ending the conversation with just a few words, or even raising your blood pressure."
He was so realistic that after realizing the difference in strength, he revealed the information he knew without hesitation.
Showing trust is also a signal for cooperation.
"These things should be avoidable. But after you go to the desert, you will have to act with them. It's good to familiarize yourself with them in advance."
Gu Sanqiu said: "Anyway, whether it's that young man or Senor, just try to be concise and straightforward when talking to them."
"Oh, by the way, if he invites you to play cards, you'll have to improvise on your own."
Kong was stunned: "Playing cards, Seven Saints Summoning?"
Gu Sanqiu was about to nod, but when he turned around, he saw Kong taking out an exquisitely shaped card box, which didn't look like a common item.
?
"Why are you playing cards too?"
"This is a normal entertainment mode, isn't it?"
Kong smiled and said, "In the Adventurer's Association, many adventurers like to play cards. This is also a useful social method. At least it allows me to get along ."
"Well, Seno, or rather the person who suggested Seno to play cards to make friends should be very envious of you."
Gu Sanqiu landed outside of Aru Village: "Do you remember the route? If you want to go deep into the desert, you can either find a few familiar people to act as guides, or a map."
"I finally understand why you said that I should go eat sand with you quickly."
Sora took the handkerchief and gently wiped the grit off Paimon's face and hair.
"This sandstorm is really outrageous. Can't you calm it down?"
"Maybe this is an area with the 'sand-raising' property. If we act rashly, we might attract some monsters and we'll be doomed."
Gu Sanqiu knocked on the informant's door: "Are you there?"
"Sir, why are you here again?"
Gu Sanqiu raised his eyebrows: "Again? Does that mean someone else has contacted you?"
"It's not about contact, it's about him being right here with me."
The informant was helpless: "Sir Elhaisen, the help I told you about is back."
"Little-known fact: he has actually been observing you outside for a long time."
Gu Sanqiu patted the informant on the shoulder and said, "It seems that you need to learn a few more tricks from your village guards. At least you need to be sensitive to spying."
"I'm just an ordinary scholar. I'm afraid I can't even defeat a single mushroom beast with my skills."
The informant smiled bitterly: "But... never mind, it should be a good thing that so many people come to help Lord Senor."
"Let's not talk about helping Seno for now."
Elhaisen held his headphones with his right hand, and a screen of light flashed in front of his eyes.
"The equipment I left outside was triggered by someone, and it also detected metal fluctuations. It seems that some tribesmen or members of the Gilded Brigade are planning to attack Aru Village."
"Footsteps and some other chaotic sounds that sounded like a herd of beasts. Has your Aru Village provoked any strange creatures recently?"
Gu Sanqiu and Kong on the side had strange expressions on their faces.
My goodness, seeing the march of people and beasts, someone who didn’t know would probably think that Aru Village was some kind of military stronghold.
At least from the perspective of Gu Sanqiu and Kong, the overall scale of Aru Village is just that, yet there are people willing to make such an exaggerated fuss.
"Who did our Aru Village offend?"
The informant was confused: "That's not right. Apart from those who claim to be under the command of the Red King, the people in Aru Village are actually facing the most beasts and monsters."
The horn sounded, and Gu Sanqiu's ears moved. He heard a familiar voice, but it was a little cursing and full of the heroic style of a mercenary.
