Chapter 25
Well, this double bed in my room is so comfortable. It feels so good every time I wake up from it. Before I opened my eyes today, a faint fragrance lingered in my nose. Haha, is my wife online? I jumped up from the bed, opened the bedroom door and walked into the living room.
The princess was still wearing a light-colored gauze dress, sitting quietly at the table in the living room, sipping a cup of scented tea in her hand elegantly. Qing was still standing aside in a maid outfit. Every time I saw the princess at home, she was so calm and composed, completely different from the knight in armor.
"Are you back? Did the unicorn signing go smoothly?" I sat comfortably in the chair opposite the princess and stretched lazily.
Last time her mount died, so she had to go back to the northern continent of the elves to find an ownerless unicorn to sign a contract, which seemed both civilized and mysterious. In comparison, the way humans catch horses is much more violent, just whipping wild horses with a whip, calling it "taming". It's really messy and tasteless, but this method is easy to identify the quality of horses. The reason is very simple. After taming a wild horse, check the hoof prints on its body and you will know. I remember that the Santana at Brother Yun's house seemed to be a good horse. Although it looked a little fat, Brother Yun was very happy for a long time when he was kicked like a "sika deer" after being tamed.
The princess looked at me without saying anything, but nodded slightly, then put a necklace on the table and pushed it over to me. I knew at a glance that it was the lucky shadow pendant. Playing with the golden necklace, I looked at the princess with a question mark on my face, what does this mean?
"Exchange for the War Melody Staff." Seeing that I didn't understand, the princess opened her red lips and spoke lightly.
"What did you say! The War Melody Staff!" He stared at the princess. I haven't gotten many staffs recently, especially the War Melody, which I know very well. A sour anger surged in my heart. He resisted the urge to throw the necklace back at the princess's face. Damn it! My wife actually has to redeem something for someone who wants to kill me. This feeling is as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
"That's my friend." The princess still used the same tone, but there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes towards my anger.
"It's a pity that he is not my friend. Let him come and get it himself." I squinted my eyes and said softly. Everyone could hear the coldness in my words. I put down the necklace in my hand, turned around and walked out of the room without looking back, leaving the princess alone at the table in a daze.
I came to the lord's mansion in a rage and "opened" the door of the conference room with one foot, which scared the people sitting inside. It was the first time for me to enter the lord's mansion with such "personality", and the people I met really felt "refreshing".
"Seriously, when did you open the door so 'uniquely'? Or do you have a lot of money recently? Help me change the door?" Sister glanced at the black footprint on the door of the conference room, raised her eyebrows, and said sarcastically. "Opening the door with your foot" has always been her "patent". She is not used to being used on her head suddenly. Especially this little brother who is easy to pinch, it seems that there is something wrong today.
"You don't have a pet, right? Here, take this and exchange it for that War Melody. I need it urgently." I ignored my sister's teasing, walked straight to the fairy cat, and threw a pet crystal to her.
"I don't have a pet, but I don't need to exchange the pet crystal for a staff, right? One crystal can be exchanged for several staffs. Besides, this staff is also given to me by you." The fairy cat looked puzzled, but still handed over the staff. Did the mammoth step on her head today? She was given such a big stick to beat.
"Don't worry about anything, sit down and talk!" The ignored sister said angrily. What's wrong with this kid today? He's so angry. My sister and I stared at each other for a while, but I finally gave in and found a chair to sit down helplessly.
"What do you want the War Melody Staff for? Don't tell me you want to put it in the living room as a root sculpture." The fairy cat asked curiously.
"I'm just bored, it's the princess who asked for it." I sat there and replied sullenly. Was it right or wrong for me to do this?
"Why does the princess need a staff? She's a knight. Although a knight who can heal is special, isn't the Elven War Song as useful as the War Melody? She won't have to switch to a staff, will she?" My sister was a little confused. Are there any new items? Can knights use staffs?
"Healing? Knights can do healing?" The cat watching nearby had a surprised expression on her face, as if she had heard something incredible. The two sisters were not there that night, and it seemed that no one who knew about it had deliberately spread the word.
"Why are you so angry when the princess wants a staff? Um! Ah Zi, what did you just say? The princess can do healing?" Fairy Cat was a little slow to understand. What a mess, what's the connection.
"Please, be quiet! I'll tell you what happened from the beginning." I looked at the noisy meeting room in front of me and felt powerless. It was a mistake to come to the lord's mansion. "A few days ago, three idiot elves ambushed me. Unfortunately, I was more skilled than them and killed all three of them. The most unlucky wizard had his staff robbed by me. And today, my gentle, beautiful and lovely wife actually used her necklace to redeem that broken cane from me! Unfortunately, I gave that thing to a cat as a toy, so now I want to use the pet crystal to exchange for that fucking cane! What a fool! I am a fucking fool if I want to return his staff! Do you all understand now? OK?"
There was an instant of silence in the conference room, and the three women looked at me in amazement, as if there was an alien standing in front of them.
"After all this time, are you jealous? Tsk tsk, you really are starting to like the princess." The elder sister looked as if she had suddenly realized something.
"Oh, so the princess is going to have an affair? Is that wizard handsome?" The fairy cat had a look on her face that said, "I understand."
"Oh, stupid thief, don't be sad. At worst, you can have an extramarital affair. You are in good condition. Although you are a little stupid and dull, you have a kind heart. Do you want me to introduce you to some good sisters?" The cat blinked at me very "innocently".
Shit! What kind of people are these? I lost all my temper for a moment and looked at them with frustration. The way these people "comforted" people was really special.
"In fact, you should first ask the princess what she thinks. After all, the process of you becoming husband and wife is very 'unique'. Do you really think of yourself as someone else's 'husband'?" My sister sat down, took a sip of tea slowly, and said indifferently.
"Love is not something that can be achieved overnight. Compared to my old friends, your husband is still quite 'fresh'." Fairy Cat looked at me with a half-smile. "I'm not saying you are being sentimental. Calm down and think about it. Don't just be jealous."
"You're really stupid. You don't know how to please a girl." The cat also held up a big pink sign that read: You look like an idiot! That was the warning sign for the minefield that was supposed to be set up.
I smiled bitterly. Yes, my behavior was ridiculous in the eyes of the princess. I looked like a modern jealous husband. We had agreed that she only wanted a name for her spouse. Why was I so excited? I had expected to be treated with courtesy by her former "friends", but when the time came, it was... Alas! Do I really like her? Is it just a male chauvinism?
"Okay, you and the princess will have a good talk later. You are a smart person, you should handle your own affairs." The elder sister clapped her hands, indicating that the topic was over. This kind of matter should be handled by the parties involved. The more outsiders interfere, the more trouble they will cause.
"Hehehe, no matter what you say, you were going to give me this pet crystal just now..." The fairy cat smiled like a flower, his eyes flashing with cunning light, as if he saw a fresh and plump "silly fish".
"Yes, yes, I'll testify, you stupid thief...you can't deny it..." These two sisters are a pair of vampires, with very thick skins.
"Uh, fairies, you all have the surname Zhou, right?" I said angrily. There's no way Crystal can be returned. How can she be saved after being targeted by the "Cat's Eye"?
"Yes, yes, my name is Paopi, and my sister's name is Qigu." The fairy cat laughed even more happily. The cat was still a little dazed and didn't react, with question marks in his big eyes. How did the stupid thief know that their last name was Zou?
"I already have a pet, give this to my little sister." Fairy Cat handed the crystal to the cat. "Come on, little sister, take the partner badge and press it hard."
I thought to myself, what's wrong with these two cats? How can they just transform in the conference room at will? What if one of them comes out?
"Fairy! Kitten! Wait a minute!" My sister's face suddenly changed. She thought of the previous accident and hurriedly raised her hand to stop the cat's actions. Unfortunately, she was a step too late. The cat had already pressed the badge on.
Bang! A golden smoke rose up and expanded rapidly. The four of us looked at the pet that appeared behind the smoke in surprise. What we feared came true. It was another "wall-sized" pet.
Name: Mephistopheles's Turret. Level: Level 1. Type: Demon Civilian. Special Skill: Reduces mana cost by 25%. Loyalty: 100. Owner: Cat.
"The turret of Mephistopheles? What a strange name." I looked at this sturdy guy. It has super strong physical defense, but a bit low magical defense.
"Mephistopheles, it seems to be the name of the NPC who changed his job to a mage, but, what about this big guy looks like a turret?" The cat's eyes were twinkling with little stars. So lucky, a demon, the civil servant type means that this demon is a supporting combat type.
In front of us was a tall metal giant, his whole body shining with golden luster, his body was sturdy and strong, his huge feet cracked the floor, and he seemed to be wearing an oversized suit of armor. You could tell at a glance that hitting someone with his two empty giant hands must be very painful. Looking up, well, it seemed that I couldn't see this guy anymore. He was taller than a mammoth, and his shoulders just reached the ceiling. So if you want to see his face, you have to go upstairs. As I remember, my sister's bedroom seemed to be above the conference room.
"Yan. Zhong! Zou. Yun. Xi! You two are dead!" My sister stared blankly at the big hole in the ceiling. It took her a long time to realize that this conference room had been overhauled three times in less than a month. It would be strange if my sister didn't go crazy. Fairy Cat and my sister sleep together. It turns out that her last name is "Zhou"? No wonder she is so good at extortion. It must be inherited from her ancestors!
"It was the fairy who did it, what does it have to do with me?" I ducked my head to avoid a blow from the fairy, and when I looked back, I saw that the ungrateful fairy cat had already stepped outside the door of the conference room. Even the cat quietly put away its pets and ran to the door, leaving me standing there stupidly. Facing that "violent beauty".
If I don't run now , when will I run? The advantage of Min Gao is that it is easy to escape. I flipped sideways and slid out through the nearest window. From behind, I heard my sister's angry shouts and the two cats begging for mercy. Hehe, this is not the time to talk about "class feelings". I picked off the flowers and plants on my body while running. Damn, who planted so many roses in the flowerbed outside the window? They pricked me to death.
When I got home, the princess was still sitting at the table. When she saw me coming back, she wanted to stand up and say something. I waved my hand and asked her to sit down.
"No one can do anything about what has happened, and I'm not interested in knowing. Just let it go." I put the War Melody on the table in front of . "This is just the first time, and it won't happen again. I never give back the spoils easily. This time, I'm doing it for your sake."
"Thank you. I didn't know you would react so strongly..." The princess hesitated for a moment, then put away her staff. "Those guys were just my ordinary friends. They were joking."
"Then can you tell me how many people would come to me to talk without joking?" I hated the atmosphere in front of me and didn't want to continue.
"Maybe three." I didn't expect the princess to give such a serious answer. Three! I almost fell under the table.
"Well...it's not what you imagined!" The princess' cheeks turned red because of my strange look, and she hurriedly explained.
I shook my head, wondering what I was thinking. The princess was truly charming. But since she insisted that she didn't care about other people's past, I couldn't ask her any further . I had no choice but to pretend that I didn't care and took a sip of tea. Well, it was so bitter.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I recently got a pet crystal. Come with me and try to transform it." I stood up and invited the princess to the back garden. My sister's meeting room was a lesson for me. The ceiling in my living room is not even as high as hers.
I took out the badge and pressed it hard on the crystal. Whoosh! A puff of black smoke rose up. It was really strange. Why did the smoke when I transformed my pet always look so "evil"? It was either gray or black. Am I a bad guy?
"It's serious. Why hasn't the smoke dispersed for so long?" The princess looked at the black smoke in front of me in surprise. Could it be? We looked at each other. Is this what this pet looks like? I opened the pet information column and read out the information of the "black smoke" in front of me.
Name: Night Ghost. Level: Level 1. Type: Demon Martial Officer. Special Skill: Shapeshift. Loyalty: 100. Master: Serious.
"What a strange pet form. Why are all your pets so special? What skill is that shapeshifting?" The princess sat on the chair next to the flowers with a smile on her face. This thief was really interesting. He transformed himself twice and it was equally ridiculous.
"I don't know, you'll find out if you try." I looked at the black smoke in front of me in frustration, shrugged helplessly at the princess, and issued a command to make it move. The black smoke floated quickly.
The princess who was watching from the side suddenly covered her lips with her hands in shock. She murmured to herself with her eyes wide open: "Oh my God! How could this be!"
