Exotic Mercenary Six of Four
Six-Four Red Crisis
After breakfast, Lulu gathered everyone to her room. Because of her serious face, everyone was inexplicably nervous, and no one dared to ask questions. I found that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and Lulu coughed gently:
"Guys... It's been two days since we came here, right?"
Everyone nodded together, and Lu Lu's face was a little more dignified:
"So... count your wallet and confirm how much is left?"
Everyone took out their wallets and poured all the coins on the table.
"There are only 30 general coins left... plus mine, there are a total of 50 left."
Everyone immediately understood why Lulu looked so... In fact, their faces are now equally confused:
"Fifty general coins..."
"That is to say, even if you don't eat or drink, you can only stay here for two or three days at most."
"Hey, hey?"
Xilu jumped up in panic:
"Is there only this left in a blink of an eye? I remember that when we first came here, we obviously exchanged 800 common coins..."
"Since you asked... I also want to ask you why! Miss Xilu!"
Lulu squeezed Xilu's pink face hard. Xilu hummed vaguely begging for mercy while struggling. Seeing that she was about to shed tears, Lulu sent her hand contentedly, but Xilu's cheeks were red and swollen, and Shirley on one side stroked her with laughter and pain:
"Why do you say that, Miss Lulu? And it's really heavy for you to start..."
"This is just a necessary punishment! I cleared your bill yesterday, and Xilu alone accounted for 600 of the 750 common coins we spent!"
This time even Shirley was scared to jump up:
"6...600? Miss Xilu, where have you spent it?"
"That...that's..."
Xilu refused to tell the truth, and Lulu "hummed" and arranged the bill in her hand on the table:
"I'll make it for you. First of all, it cost 300 to buy these clothes..."
"That's because... the original clothes don't fit well..."
"Then it cost 150 to buy snacks..."
"That's because the food here is not good..."
"Finally, the compensation cost of that pub cost 150..."
"That's force majeure... and paid Shirley's in..."
"Then let's not talk about the last point... What's wrong with the first two reasons! The clothes that can be bought at a cost of 300 are close to the expenses of the lower aristocracy! Didn't I tell you that we are all civilians now? Why spend such unnecessary expenses again! And those snacks... Are you still a child? It's really not that we don't pay attention to our current situation!"
"But those..."
"What are those? The problem now is that we can't continue to live, but we haven't collected any useful information! Come and find a way to get us out of trouble! Miss!"
"Let me come up with something... but I really can't think of anything..."
"What a nerve-wracking young lady... How can you work for Her Royal Highness..."
Lulu sighed with her face. Xilu put her chin on the table, and loyd touched her head comfortingly:
"In this case, we can only go out and find a job."
"This is a good idea. I can find a hostel or pub to help me be a maid..."
Shirley responded to loyd's opinion with a sunny face, and Xilu seemed to blush when she heard the word "maid":
"I have something like that..."
"It seems that this is the only way now. Since the young lady doesn't want to go, leave it to the three of us. But loyd... We don't have familiar people here. Where can we find a suitable job?
"It's better to think about whether there are any familiar people first and ask for information..."
"Will there be such a person?"
"Isn't Miss Lena the one you misunderstood last time the right person?"
As soon as the words came out, he noticed the sharp blade coming out of the eyes of the two girls... Seeing that Xilu had made a move to jump up and beat people, loyd smiled awkwardly:
"Although I don't think it's appropriate... But the only thing I can rely on now is her, right? If you don't trust me, you can go with me..."
"Who wants to go to that kind of indewd place! And...and..."
"And?"
"And what if she says, 'If you want information, you have to stay with me all night' like last time!"
"That's why you want me to go with you, so that she won't say such a thing casually, right? And your behavior that day probably scared her a long time ago. Maybe she will say everything when she sees you..."
"It won't go so smoothly! That kind of cheeky woman would do that kind of indecent thing in public... Did I say that you really want to do that kind of thing with her and deliberately find such a reason?
When loyd just wanted to refute something, Lulu's palm fell on Xilu's head:
"Please think about our current situation, miss! Is there any better way out now besides this method? And loyd is absolutely right. I'm afraid no one is more trustworthy than that girl now, so please trust him once! Otherwise, Shirley can accompany her..."
"Oh...me? That's no problem..."
"No! Let me go!"
Xilu took a deep breath in order to make up her mind...
"But... why do you think she is a trustworthy person?"
"About this... Last time I told her my identity as a knight, but nothing special happened in the past two days. It seems that she did not report us to the guards on suspicion of spying. So I think she is a trustworthy person, but her style is a little... Oh!"
"Not a little! It's very sirrate! It's simply..."
Xilu stepped on loyd's foot in order to vent:
"The words are in the front! If she dares to betray me, I will freeze her to ice! It's useless for you to plead for her!"
"If you have time to say this, please go right away! Shirley and I stayed here to make plans for the next few days, but to be honest, we can't stay here for too much time. I don't know why, I've been feeling like something disturbing is going to happen these days... There is always an indescribable suffocation in the air.
"Does that mean we need to go back to China as soon as possible? Although I believe your intuition... should we have to go to King Hland? When it comes to collecting intelligence, is it more practical to go there?
"Although I thought so at the beginning... But that's also an impossible task. The time required to travel to and from King Hland is not a simple number, and the closer it is to the King City, the more dangerous it will be. In contrast, it is more realistic to choose Reluk as a border city and a trade transit station. Maybe we can still find out about our country here... Anyway, please act now. We have wasted two days!"
loyd and Xilu, who changed into civilian costumes, walked through the street looking for traces of the sea cat pavilion. Previously, because he was absent-minded and didn't notice the scenery of the street at all, Loid found today that the excitement here is no less than the lower street of Eudra Xiucheng. Perhaps it is because this is a transit point of trade, and the goods on the street can often find traces from Haier Milan.
As soon as Xilu came to the street, she was attracted by the amorous feelings in front of her. Her lively nature and interest in strange merchants made her completely forget the purpose of the trip, but blindly stayed in front of various open-air stores and pestered loyd to ask for such and that... loyd had to hold her:
"Don't forget our purpose, Xilu, and we don't have much money..."
"It's so boring..."
Xilu hummed unhappily, but the feeling of being hugged by him made her body a little soft... She was half dissatisfied and half sweetly allowed the other party to put her around her all the way...
Speaking of which, this should be the third formal date, right? The first time I was caught in prison for a fight in Udraxiu, and the second time I met a kidnapped princess in the Guangfeng Forest. It seems that every date is not so smooth... I don't know if today will be better than the previous two? But... what I want to see is a headache, which is not a romantic thing... Stupid loyd! Always cause such unnecessary trouble! Stupid!
Xilu pushed her body tighter towards the other party angrily, and she seemed to hear the other party's ups and downs heartbeat. This made her secretly proud:
Even you can't resist my charm! Your heartbeat is more honest than your expression! Although this is really cheap for you, a fool... But I am a magnanimous master, and occasionally give some rewards to the fool... Just take it as a reward for your loyalty to me... Humph... Um... Um...
Xilu sang out-of-tune songs in her heart, and her happiness was about to melt... At the moment when happiness and the melody in her heart were about to reach their peak, loyd suddenly stopped and waved her hand to the opposite side:
"Miss Lena!"
"Oh? Is this...is it here?!"
I haven't thoroughly enjoyed the happiness just now! Obviously, they are so close to you. Obviously, they have conveyed such a true heart to you. What on earth are you looking at in your eyes... Xilu looked at the opposite side as she was angry. Sure enough, the long-haired girl who had made her angry was running towards them:
"Mr. loyd! Do you remember my name? Lena is so touching!"
Lena jumped up a few steps away from Loed, flew into Loed's arms and hummed the coquettish sound of "Mii-woo". Loed turned his head and saw that Xilu's hair stood up, and quickly pushed away the bird in his arms:
"Of course, it's impossible to forget... I'm sorry for the fact of last time, Miss Lena..."
"It doesn't matter! Lena won't pay attention to it at all! It's natural to be misunderstood like that! Speaking of which, isn't this... the bad-tempered lady who destroyed the pub last time?"
"Who is the bad-tempered lady! My name is Xi..."
"Miss Qian?"
When I was about to report my name, I suddenly remembered that Lulu had told me that "It doesn't matter if loyd, we must use a pseudonym", so I quickly turned around:
"My name is Lucy! It's not Miss Xi!"
Loide unconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and Lena was just a sunny face:
"It turned out to be Miss Lucy! What a nice name! But it's rare to get such a name among the nobles..."
"Oh? Nobles? Are you talking about me?
"Is there anyone else here? Since Mr. loyd is a knight, of course you are a nobleman! And you are his master, right?
"What nonsense do you say! How can that be! I'm his sister... It's his sister!"
Xilu was shocked by the sharp judgment of the other party. In order not to reveal her identity, she tried her best to put on a childish face, and then acted coquettishly next to Loyde. Lena couldn't help laughing:
"There is no talent for acting at all, Miss Noble! No matter what kind of clothes you wear and what kind of action you make, your temperament and aristocratic habits can't be changed, can you? Also, how could your appearance when I jumped over just now be the expression of your sister because of your brother's popularity? So your name is not Lucy, nor are you a civilian. Am I right?"
After Xilu opened her mouth for a long time, she showed an expression of defeat:
"Well... I'm indeed a nobleman, and I'm the owner of loyd. My name is Xilu... But if you dare to say it, I will kill you!"
"Ah ha ha... You look exactly like Mr. loyd when you are serious! It seems that you are not only masters and knights, but also lovers, right?
"You are an idiot! Who is the lover? Who would like such a fool!"
Xilu shouted as if no one was around... But in the eyes of passers-by, this was purely two dusty women pestering to grab guests, so no one came forward to see the fun... Lena smiled gently twice and then took loyd's hand:
"In that case... then you're welcome. Anyway, you are not his lover. Lend me Mr. loyd today! I didn't make Mr. loyd happy last time, so I'm going to make double compensation today..."
"Don't do that kind of thing! Who will lend him to you! Loed! What are you standing there for? Did you get dizzy by this woman?
"I'm really sorry..."
Loide broke free from Lena's hand and coughed awkwardly:
"Miss Lena... Actually, there is something I want to ask you today."
"What's the matter? Do you want to ask for any information? You can ask as much as you want, as long as I know, but I still need your 'sincerity' to exchange..."
"You will also say such shameless words in broad daylight. You are really shameless..."
"Ah ha... What do you think I do? Am I not a low-class prostitute in your eyes? Which prostitute is not as shameless as I am? Do you think life is so easy? I'm lying next to others, just like you sitting in a big room receiving the service of a servant, aren't you? But at least, no matter how humble I am, I will directly tell the guests whether I like it or not, but you don't even have the courage to face this feeling!"
"Wow...!"
Xilu, who was said to be the central matter, suddenly speechless... Speaking of this, this is really her weakness. As long as this issue is mentioned, she will be refuted without words... Think about it carefully. Although she has been honest in front of Leud, she has never admitted it in front of others, or even will I want to shout like that just now, "Who would like such a fool"! Will this hurt loyd's heart? Thinking this way, I really can't compare with the dusty woman in front of me...
"I'm sorry, Miss Xilu, I'm just like this. I can say whatever I like, and sometimes I can do whatever I like. It's just that I have to do it for the sake of life... The world we live in is different, so the idea must not be the same, ah ha ha, so I don't know Mr. loyd. What can I do for you? Shall we go somewhere to sit down for a drink?
"Drink... have a drink or something... You won't be like last time... to loyd..."
"Don't worry, I won't do it today, otherwise you will hit my head again, right?"
"I didn't hit you last time..."
"Anyway, it doesn't matter! So let's go, Mr. loyd. Do you want to be in my sea cat pavilion? If you don't mind the atmosphere inside..."
"The atmosphere inside?"
"You can have a look for yourself, Miss Xilu."
Xilu took a few steps forward to hold back her uneasiness... After looking at the scene inside, she ran back to loyd with red face:
"And... it's better to find another pub! That kind of thing... Lena, do you do this every day?"
"I'm just responsible for soliciting guests at the door. If the other party is not a man like Mr. loyd, I wouldn't have leaned against him!"
"Hey? Then you didn't just say that you were lying next to someone else..."
"That's a lie! I... I'm still a good girl!"
Silo and loyd both looked surprised:
"That is to say...you, you or... or..."
"Yes, virgin, ah! Just say it directly. Anyway, this is also true.
"Faling... lying! Then why were you and loyd so proficient in those movements last time?
"That's not a skill that needs to be learned to master. I usually learn it naturally when I watch others do this. But it's really funny. I thought I was already nervous, but I didn't expect Mr. loyd to be more nervous... What a good man..."
From the beginning, she was completely played with by this girl's applause... She is really a scary but lovely character! However, because she had slipped to the embarrassing edge again, loyd couldn't help interrupting her topic:
"Let's find a place to say this, Miss Lena... Although I don't care what you said, Miss Xilu..."
"Ah ha, that's right. I'm the kind of person who can't stop talking. After all, Miss Xilu is also a noble daughter, which is really rude..."
Although the two kept nagging around, Xilu turned a deaf ear. She seemed to have lost her soul, and there were messy things in her mind:
No wonder Lulu used this trick so easily... Is it really because I'm too stupid or too shy? Is it really like Lulu said... does it take constant stimulation to make him fall in love with the people around him? In that case, don't I have no chance of winning under the competition between Lulu and Shirley? Although loyd should only fall in love with me... but if I really want to get tired of me one day as Lulu said... What should I do? Although I always say, "How can I like that fool", I do like him...
But... I think this guy is really too much... He hugged me that day and kissed me in public... But he never said such a dialogue as "like me"! He just kissed me, didn't he? In addition to the territory of "Xilu", his heart may also have "Lulu" and "Slee"... Maybe there is also the territory of "Lina" in front of him! Nowadays, men like to have one or two little lovers outside the main room... Is this guy also such a person? It's incredible... Is the loyalty he showed in front of me also mixed with all kinds of water... Men are wolves in sheep's clothing, and I really can't trust him so easily...
Obviously, there is already someone... Obviously, I have kissed someone... loyd... loyd is a fool...
"What's wrong, Miss Xilu? We're going to the pub. Won't you follow us? What are you thinking about?"
Xilu was awakened by Lena's call and found that they had run to the front, so she shouted absent-mindedly, "Wait for me" while driving her disobedient legs to catch up... However, her heart was still entangled by those strange thoughts and became chaotic.
"Huh? Do you want to find a job because you have run out of money?
Lina poured down the wine in front of her, and then asked in surprise:
"But why are you looking for me?"
"Because you are also the most suitable to help us, bartender."
"The wine girl? Your name is really strange, Miss Xilu.
Lena seemed to frown because of dissatisfaction, and then immediately regained her smile:
"But you're right. No one is more familiar with such a thing than me. Speaking of which, our sea cat pavilion just needs help. Do you have such a plan?
"Ha? Go to that place? Can't you find a more suitable place?"
"What's wrong with that kind of place... Sea Cat Pavilion?"
"Of course not! That kind of thing and that kind of thing... How can we do it!"
I didn't say you had to do that! Things like washing dishes and pouring wine can still be done, right? Don't worry, Miss Xilu, even if I don't take care of you, I still have to take care of Mr. loyd, right? If I force you to sit on the guest's leg, I will definitely be cut off my head by Mr. loyd... Ah ha..."
"Say this...these jobs..."
"It's not difficult to become proficient immediately. And... don't you want to collect information? There will be all kinds of people coming and going in our sea cat pavilion, so there is no more suitable place than there, right? And I will find a way to help you, whether it's raising your salary or collecting intelligence... After all, I'm the soul of the sea cat pavilion!"
"Is that so... I really can't see..."
Although I still feel uneasy, after thinking about it, Lena is right at all. I'm afraid there is no place more suitable for asking for information than that kind of place... As long as you are careful, it won't cause any trouble, right? Xilu began to be moved a little.
"In that case, did you agree to my proposal? Then I'll report it to the boss right away. You can also come with your companions. We can be responsible for lunch and dinner. If you don't mind what happens at night, the accommodation room can also be solved..."
"Stay... Forget the accommodation! Let's still find a cheaper hostel..."
When she heard that "something strange happened at night", Xilu immediately blushed, and Lena drank the wine in the glass carelessly:
"Then it's settled! I don't have to work so hard with your help... And we also need knights like Mr. Loid, lest those guys always come to make trouble..."
"Who do those guys... mean?"
"It's a group of annoying people. I don't know if they are soldiers or robbers. They always come to the sea cat pavilion to make trouble. It doesn't matter if they drink and owe money. They often take advantage of us and don't tip us. If they argue with them, they will destroy the store... So I hope that Mr. loyd can teach us a lesson from those families. Dude!"
Loed and Xilu looked at each other... After getting the affirmation, they nodded:
"I understand and accept this job. But please arrange a suitable job for Miss Xilu. After all, she is not very familiar with the life of ordinary people..."
"It's on me! It will definitely satisfy you! Then I'll go back and wait for your good news! But if you stand me up, I will report your identity..."
"If you dare to do that, I will kill you here first..."
Xilu held the magic wand in her hand and raised her eyebrows to glare at her. Lena couldn't help shrinking her shoulders, and then laughed again:
"There will be no such thing! And you and I should be able to trust each other, right? Between people, you must first learn to trust each other before you can complete the ideals in front of you, right? Anyway, I'm looking forward to your arrival! Be sure to come early!"
Xilu saw her jump and disappear in the corner of the street. After pondering for a moment, she smiled understanding at loyd:
"Maybe he is really a trustworthy person... You can't see it wrong."
"Yes, although she is indeed a dusty woman, she is more reliable than anyone else. In the next period of time, maybe we will become the most ideal partners..."
Xilu turned her head sideways, and her eyes suddenly turned into a triangle:
"Your eyes have become pale... What a mess you are thinking about!"
"Why do you always like this kind of misunderstanding...uh-!"
