In Serena's heart, Xingfeng, who was always calm and handsome, actually showed such a weak expression, which really made her feel moved.
She leaned gently in Xingfeng's arms and whispered:
“Xingfeng, it’s okay.
Even if you really can't make a decision, I can just take you to live in the Thunder Tower.
With me and Teacher Somla here, let’s see who dares to force you.”
That won’t work!
I'm hiding in the Thunder Tower. Can someone bring me something?
Trosa builds one factory a day, and Fafnir builds several sets of combat skills books a day.
They insisted on sending it and no one could stop them.
If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this shop too.
I would cheat them so much that I would feel guilty.
If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have realized that I still have a conscience!
Qi Ge cleverly changed the subject:
"Forget it, let's not talk about these troubles.
Serena, the place I'm taking you to this time is a gathering place for helmeted frogs.
We'll just farm monsters nearby."
Speaking of jungle clearing, Serena suddenly became excited.
She asked with great interest:
"What is a helmeted frog?"
“The Helmeted Frog is a level 2 troop, and its combat power is not much different from that of the Gargoyle.
But their stunts are very interesting.
The head of the helmeted frog is very hard, even harder than that of an iron man.
They also have many venom-producing glands in their heads.
If they encounter danger, they can spray the venom in the gland through their head.
This is reflected in the special skills of the troops, that is, the Helmeted Frog has the ability to attack from a distance, and the long-range attack can poison the enemy.
However, they have limited venom, so they only have 3 rounds of ammunition."
Serena looked a little confused:
"It doesn't sound like a very powerful type of soldier.
I feel very weak.”
"Oh, yes."
Qi Ge smiled calmly.
“The fighting ability of the Helmeted Frog is not outstanding.
But they have been able to survive such a long history and occupy a place in the Asian world, so they must have their own abilities.
First of all, the helmeted frog tastes terrible.
During a long period of evolution, they have acquired the ability to accumulate excess venom in their skin.
If the helmeted frog is eaten directly without being processed, it will cause gastrointestinal ulcers and eventually death.
Secondly, the helmeted frog avoids warm and habitable terrain and instead relies on its thick skin to keep warm and survive in the snow.
In this way, they avoided competing with those powerful creatures.
There are many strange creatures in the world of Yasa, and powerful creatures like Titans are destined to be a minority.
This world is made up of mostly weak but highly adaptable creatures like the helmeted frog.
And these lives are often not as simple as they seem.
Although the helmeted frog looks weak, the venom it secretes can be used to make wine after being collected.”
“Brewing wine?!”
Serena stuck out her tongue, a little surprised.
"You can use a poison that can make a person's stomach rot to make wine?
Wouldn’t this kill people?”
Qi Ge smiled slightly and said proudly:
“No.
The venom of the helmeted frog will be broken down by alcohol, losing its toxicity while also allowing the soldiers who drink to gain immunity to paralysis.
This kind of wine is called anti-numb wine."
Serena said in surprise:
“Wouldn’t the antidote wine be very effective in restraining the scorpion lion?
This is truly a national-level strategic material.
Why haven’t I heard of this before?”
Of course you haven't heard of it.
The anesthetic wine was invented by our Yasha God two years later.
It comes from the distant future.
Qi Ge smiled slightly and said:
“Because the anti-numbing wine is a secret recipe that I just researched not long ago.
However, the anti-numbing wine is still in the experimental stage, and it is still unknown whether it will have any dangerous side effects.
This time we go, we must first deal with the wild monsters around the Helmeted Frog to ensure its survival space.
Yesterday I bought the snowy mountain where the helmeted frog lives.
I built a fairy village there and hired some snow fairies to help us breed helmeted frogs.
At that time, it can also be used as our secret base.
When we , we can come here to raise frogs."
Serena said with a bitter face: "Other people raise cats and dogs, but we two raise frogs. This is too unromantic."
"Hahaha, then I'll buy a set of musical instruments and put them there. When you're free, I'll play the harp for you and let the Helmeted Frog accompany us."
Serena was satisfied: "Okay! It will be very interesting.
Xingfeng, you are so nice.
Before I met you, I could only stay in the Grand Music Hall after returning from the Chaos Border.
After meeting you, I discovered that there are so many fun places around Thunder City.
It’s so much fun to follow you on adventures!”
The Seven Pigeons smiled:
“Me too.
Without you, I wouldn't have the authority to enter many military areas, and I wouldn't be able to discover anything during exploration.
It's boring for you to be alone, and it's boring for me to be alone.
It’s fun when we’re together.”
“Beep, beep, beep!!!”
Qi Ge and Serena were chatting when suddenly, the pneumatic car slowed down and honked.
Qi Ge glanced at the falling snow outside the window and said to Serena:
"We're here, ready to get off."
"Um!"
Bang——
The door of the pneumatic car opened, and the rich air element blew the snow on the ground into all directions.
Qi Ge took Serena's hand and got off the pneumatic car.
"My Lord!"
An elf wearing a red Santa hat ran over hurriedly and greeted Qi Ge.
Clarence the Christmas Goblin.
He is the Christmas elf who has always followed Ke Ruoke and is Ke Ruoke's personal guard.
After Ke Ruoke joined the Seven Pigeons Territory, Clarence also learned a lot from the Seven Pigeons and Le Meng.
Now his position among the goblins of the God's Chosen City is second only to Petra and Koroko, and he is one of the Seven Pigeons' confidants.
This time, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the fairy village, Qi Ge transferred Clarence from the Chosen City.
"Clarence, how is the construction of the village going now?"
Qi Ge smiled gently and patted Clarence on the shoulder.
This is a code, meaning that key top-secret information cannot be disclosed.
Clarence understood immediately, and he said calmly:
“My Lord, the construction work of our village has been completed.
The Goblin Meeting House and the Goblin Mill are completed.
The helmeted frog breeding base is still under construction.”
“Well done.”
Qi Ge smiled with satisfaction. He took Serena's hand, pulled Serena in front of him, and said to Clarence:
“Clarence, this is the Serena Legend.
From today on, she is the mistress of this territory."
Serena was looking at Clarence's Christmas hat curiously when she was suddenly pulled by Qi Ge and almost fell down.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and grabbed Qi Ge's cloak, thus able to stand firm.
Clarence was very sensible.
After hearing Qi Ge's introduction, he immediately shouted loudly:
"Oh! Oh! This must be the lord's wife.
Madam, please come in quickly.
It's freezing outside, it would be bad if you get cold.
I'll ask the butler fairies to make you a pot of hot tea to warm you up."
Serena was startled and quickly denied:
"What lady of the lord? I, I am not."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Qi Ge.
Seeing that Qi Ge was smiling but not saying anything, she lowered her voice and stammered:
“Not yet, not yet.
You can just call me Serena."
Qi Ge took the opportunity to pull Serena's hand and walked forward, saying as he walked:
"Serena, let's go in and take a look.
Let me show you our village. Do you like it? "
Clarence saw that Qi Ge had one hand behind his back and gave him a thumbs up.
He chuckled in his heart, immediately picked up his Christmas elf robe and quickly followed.
Three pairs of footprints of different sizes were left in the vast snow.
The footprints slowly extended outward along the snow-covered hillside.
The footprints passed through the cedar forest, and the pine leaves recorded a piece of laughter.
And he went into a deep valley, and was watched in secret by the rock.
Eventually, the footprints came to a cave.
The cave is very narrow at first, just enough for one person to pass through. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly becomes open!
"Wow!!"
Serena exclaimed at the sight before her.
Large patches of fluorescent moss cover the top of the cave, like a never-extinguished carpet of light, providing lighting for the cave.
A simple but clean and tidy fairy village located deep in the cave.
Many construction goblins holding hammers were comparing the engineering drawings and hammering repeatedly in front of the wooden village fence.
A wide and bright road leads from the entrance of the village to the center of the village.
In the center of the village, there is a bright, reflective pool of water.
On the top of the cave above the pool, many beautiful stalactites are constantly gathering melted snow water into the pool.
Serena stared blankly at the pool of water.
The pool of water seemed to have swallowed up the entire ceiling and the light of the fluorescent moss, revealing a bright and beautiful orchid glow.
Serena grabbed Qige's hand and shouted excitedly:
"Xingfeng, what's going on? Why is there such a beautiful fairy village in this cave?
Moreover, this shape, this shape…”
Seeing that Serena was so excited that she was already a little incoherent, Qi Ge smiled and said:
"How is it? Do you like it?
I found the entire city appearance data of your hometown, Xinyue City, and built this village based on the architectural layout of Xinyue City, scaling it down at a ratio of 100:1.
I have no way to save the Joyful City that has fallen into chaos, but I can find a way to keep you thinking about it a little longer."
"Xingfeng, you...you..." Serena covered her mouth, tears almost bursting out.
Qi Ge gently took out a handkerchief and wiped Serena's tears.
But as if he was afraid that Serena couldn't cry, he continued:
"I also built a small house in the village, which is the same style as the one you lived in when you were a child.
The location is also in the same place.
If you still have memories of your childhood, you should be able to find it.
Well, the name of this village is Xinyue Village, it is my gift to you."
"Star Wind!"
Serena finally threw herself into Qi Ge's arms and shouted excitedly:
“I love this gift so much.
Xingfeng, thank you!"
[System prompt: Serena's favorability towards you +30, currently 100 (like)]
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for triggering Serena's recruitment mission: Recapture Xinyue City. ]
Qi Ge gently hugged Serena, staring straight at Xinyue Village.
Clarence had already entered the village while he was talking to Serena.
He wanted to check the situation in the village again.
Xinyue Village is ostensibly a village that breeds helmeted frogs, but in fact there is a natural abandoned teleportation array hidden inside the village.
Once the war with Bracada breaks out, as long as the abandoned teleportation array is repaired, Xinyue Village can become a dagger that stabs directly into the heart of Thunder City at any time.
But Xinyue Village is too close to Bracada.
Without a suitable name, it would be difficult to avoid the inspection of Thunder City.
Now with Serena as a shield, at least 80% of the exposure crisis can be resolved.
Behind the Seven Pigeons stood Aged, and behind Serena stood Somla.
No young man who can survive in Thunder City dares to withstand the threat of these two big Buddhas and insists on carefully inspecting the villages of Qi Ge and Serena.
"Bang."
Just as Qi Ge was hugging Serena to comfort her, a loud voice suddenly came from behind them.
“Dangdangdang!”
A burst of bell sounds came from Xinyue Village.
"Intruder! There's an intruder!"
"Emergency plan!"
The busy logistics goblins dropped their tools and ran towards the center of the village.
The main fighting goblins picked up their weapons and gathered at the entrance of the village.
Serena, who was originally in tears, suddenly changed her expression.
She immediately took out the magic book, stood in front of Qi Ge cautiously, and asked seriously:
"Xingfeng, what's going on?"
Clarence ran out of the village anxiously, shouting:
"My Lord, my Lady, this is bad. The warning mines we set up at the cave exit have been triggered."
Qi Ge's eyes fixed, and he said in a deep voice:
“We had a problem just after we arrived, it’s very likely that there was a tail.
Someone must have followed us from Thunder City."
Serena's pupils changed color instantly, her Eagle Eyes technique activated, and she entered full combat mode.
She asked cautiously:
“Xingfeng, could it be that he is the traitor who framed us on the battlefield?
We were alone, and he chased us?"
Not likely.
Qi Ge looked solemn and said softly:
"The cave has only one exit. Whether it's there or not, we can't hide."
He immediately ordered:
"Clarence, you take all the goblins and prepare for battle in the village. Stay alert and wait for my next order at any time."
"Yes! Lord!"
"Come on, Serena, let's go out and take a look."
"good!!"
…
…
Evelin, who was originally young and beautiful, was now covered in dust and disheveled.
She gritted her teeth and cursed fiercely:
"Damn it! Don't let me know who planted the mine here, or I'll blow his head off."
Her mentality was obviously not very good now, and she kept muttering:
“I waited for Xingfeng for three days in a row but couldn’t find him. I finally made up my mind to catch up with him, but I still lost him!
After much difficulty, we found the trail, but just as we got close, we were hit by a landmine.
If I hadn't activated the magic shield in time, half of my life would have been blown away.
Am I hated by the goddess of fate?
What bad luck!"
"I don't know whether you have offended the goddess of fate, but you have offended me."
Serena floated into the air, looking down at Evelyn with emotionless eyes.
Her magic book was flipping rapidly, and the pressure of a legendary hero had already arrived.
The next second, she could turn on the battlefield mode and use powerful magic to make Evelyn disappear from the face of the earth.
Evelyn looked at Serena in horror, feeling a chill on her back.
She is just a pseudo-hero who was promoted by the Hero Order. Compared with a true legend like Serena, there is a world of difference.
Being targeted by the murderous intent of a legendary hero almost frightened Evelyn to the point of incontinence.
She waved her hands and shouted:
"Your Highness Serena! Don't kill me, I mean no harm!
I am just a negotiation mage sent by Trosa to discuss matters with His Highness Xingfeng. I pose no threat to you."
Serena didn't listen.
She looked at Evelyn and said quickly:
"Hmph! Stop hiding it!
I have already guessed your purpose!
You're following us, but your fighting power isn't enough to threaten us.
So, there must be someone behind you.
You are responsible for providing clues and tracking, and they are responsible for intercepting and killing.
Now Xingfeng and I are definitely surrounded by you.
Maybe there are more than a dozen legendary heroes around us at this moment, forming an impenetrable siege, waiting to kill us.
If I want to escape from danger, I must first blind your eyes, who are responsible for providing information!"
Evelyn: ???
Evelyn: Are you sick?!
I'm a negotiation mage with a logistics profession. Do I look like I'd be a scout?
I came here at the risk of offending you, but I'm not here to fight with you!
I just want to use my charm to snatch Xingfeng away for a while. Is it necessary to kill people directly?
Even if she felt wronged, for the sake of her own safety, Evelin could only quickly explain:
"Your Highness! It's unfair!"
"No need to say more, just die!"
"Wait a minute!"
Just when Serena was about to start a fight, Qige appeared in time.
Having just overheard the conversation between the two people, Qi Ge has already guessed the details of the situation.
He said to Serena:
“Serena, she doesn’t look like she’d be qualified to be a scout.
If the mole sent her to do reconnaissance, that would be too stupid.
This may be a misunderstanding, please calm down and let me understand the situation. "
Serena's surging magic power gradually subsided. She fell to the ground, protected Xingfeng, and said:
“Okay, I’ll listen to you, but Xingfeng, you have to be careful.
This woman is wearing so little, it's obvious she's not a good person."
Um?
Serena Oh, that's where you're wrong.
How can you judge a person by his appearance?
Even if she was wearing revealing clothes, with her belly and breasts exposed and her skirt was so short that it barely covered her waist, she was still a good girl.
This is the freedom of dressing she deserves!
Qi Ge stared at Evelyn, who looked particularly free, and asked:
“Ms. Evelyn, I’m Xingfeng.
This is Serena and I's private territory, registered at the Bracada Land Hall.
As far as I know, I have not invited you to enter our territory. Isn't it rude of you to come here uninvited?"
Evelin had just breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became nervous when Qi Ge asked her questions.
The negotiations haven't even started yet, but you've been accused of invading territory. There's nothing to say afterwards, just apologize honestly.
Evelin thought for a moment and decided to retreat in order to advance.
With tears in her eyes, she said sincerely:
“Your Highness Xingfeng, I’m very sorry that this accident happened.
Although I had no subjective intention of invading your territory, I did act in this way.
I am willing to pay a penalty tax to you and Her Highness Serena as compensation for my wrongdoings.
Your Highness Xingfeng, the reason I behaved in such an inappropriate manner is because I have something very, very important to tell you.
President Trosa has given me a strict order that I must hand over the task to you in private.
If I may, could I take three minutes of your time?
Really, just three minutes is enough! "
Handover...is it the handover I was thinking of?
What AC words are you talking about?
Three minutes is definitely not enough!
Do you look down on me?
Um?
I allow you to say it again while looking at my 1,000-point energy limit.
Qi Ge probably guessed that since Trosa couldn't get the job done by giving money, he would start thinking of giving women.
Although this Evelin was a little embarrassed by the landmine explosion, she was so beautiful and had a great figure.
Even though her hair is a little burnt now, she still looks kind of pitiful.
Under normal circumstances, for a sugar-coated bullet like this, Qi Ge does not recommend eating up all the sugar coating and then sending the bullet back.
But now, Qi Ge is busy with affairs and really has no time to pay attention to such a small person.
He shook his head and said:
“Forget it, Miss Evelyn.
I can forgive you for trespassing on our territory, but please don't continue to disturb the precious time Serena and I spend together.
If you really have something to say to me, then wait until the teacher's house is renovated and then go find my butler fairy to apply.
Serena, show me around."
Serena raised the magic book again.
She stared at Evelyn coldly and said:
"You are lucky to have survived.
Xingfeng said to let you go, so I won’t bother with you for now.
I'll give you ten seconds. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave."
“Serena is a legend, Xingfeng isn’t even a master, but Xingfeng is the one who’s in control of the relationship between the two?!!
Could it be that the rumors are true, and Xingfeng really has bewitched Serena?
How much ability and skill does a man need to be able to cross a gap of dozens of levels and achieve this level. "
Evelin’s heart tightened.
She looked at Xingfeng's back as he turned away without mercy, and could no longer bear it and shouted loudly:
"Your Highness Xingfeng, I really have something important to tell you.
You recently went to the Adventurer's Guild to post a quest to find the Chaos Treasure House.
I just happen to know the location of a Chaos Treasure House."
Chaos Treasure House!!
Qi Ge, who was turning around, paused, turned around and said indifferently :
“Five seconds to tell me the location of the Chaos Treasure House.
I'll verify it and we'll talk again.
If you can’t tell it, then forget it.”
"Just say it?! This is my biggest bargaining card.
Now it is used as a basic condition for negotiation? !
How can this be possible? "
Evelin felt uncomfortable and bit her lips lightly.
“Damn, I’ve met my match.
This man is handsome and domineering, so amazing."
