Gate of the Cross

Chapter 121 New Intelligence

A room on the third floor of the hotel in the town of Vinoa, the Kingdom of France.

Six people sat around a large **, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Well, Miss Lacey, I'm really sorry. I didn't know it was you who was at the door just now."

Gene said awkwardly, hoping to find a seam and get in directly.

Someone just knocked on the door, and he thought it was Jack who had gone and returned, so without saying a word, he opened the door and slapped his face.

I didn't expect that the person who came to find them was the daughter of the mayor of Vinoa, Lacey, whom they had met before. She was inexplicably scolded by Gene. If someone else, she would have gone directly. Fortunately, she had a good temper. Gene also found that she had scolded the wrong person in time and immediately shut her mouth knowingly.

So now it has become such an embarrassing situation.

"Well... Mr. Knight, you don't have to care. I know you didn't mean to." Lacey said softly.

Hearing Lacey's weak voice, Gene's head was lower, and he really didn't know what to say. Now the good image he originally created has been ruined. Damn Jack, I and you are endless!

"Miss Lacey came to us for something?" Xinjie just said at this time.

As soon as Gene heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and raised his thumbs up at Xinjie, "This time to interrupt is so good!"

Indeed, when Xinjie asked this question, the awkward atmosphere suddenly swept away.

"Mr. Swordsman, in fact, I came here by the order of my father..." Because Xinjie and others have never told Lacey their names, Lacey can only talk to them with the names of "Mr. Knight" and "Mr. Swordsman".

"Your father - do you mean the mayor is back?"

The snowy dragon soul interrupted and asked.

"That's right," Lacey nodded with a smile. "He just came back from France and ordered me to find adventurers who didn't have a place to live, and my father would concentrate on arranging accommodation for everyone."

"So you found us? The mayor is really careful, but how do you know that we don't have a place to live? Generally speaking, shouldn't people living in hotels find a place to live?

This time, it was Nanali who interrupted. She had a good impression on the girl in green in front of her, because she spoke politely from beginning to end, and her etiquette was impeccable. In addition, she was beautiful and beautiful, so it was really difficult for such a girl to make people feel good.

"Beautiful Miss Archer, because I just met another Mr. Archer at the door. He was in the same team with you before, and I learned about you from him."

Jack? Did that guy tell you that five of us live here? Gene's face is a little strange.

"That's exactly." Lacey replied.

Before, Lacey met Jack who had just come out at the door of the hotel. Lacey, who accepted his father's order, naturally asked him and his team if they had found a place to stay. After all, she told them that the hotel was full immediately. But he didn't expect that Jack's attitude in the first team with Xingjie was very strange. After hearing Lacy's intention, he said angrily, "Go to the third floor. Those five idiots squeezed into a room!"

Of course, a kind-hearted person will not say such a thing.

"In this way, we can reschedule it."

Lacey's arrival can be said to be a help in the snow, and the five people who were worried that there was no place to live solved the problem at once.

When the Snow Dragon Soul was thinking about whether she and Nanali lived here or let three boys live here, it happened to see Gene's expression.

"Gien, it seems that you are very unhappy? What's wrong with that regretful expression?

"Where, you must have misread it. How can I be unhappy?" Gene said that the observation of the dragon soul was so keen that he even noticed this kind of thing.

"Captain, what should I do?"

Nanali stared at Gene fiercely, and the meaning of the warning in her eyes was very obvious. Then she turned to Xinjie and immediately changed to another expression. She smiled sweetly and said, "Captain, arrange it quickly. How can you live now?"

Snow Dragon Soul and Robert also looked at Xinjie, and their eyes fully expressed their trust in him. Only Gene has a broken expression. Why, why is that kind of attitude when he treats me?

Lacey just smiled and looked at them without saying a word, but thought to his heart, "This swordsman captain seems to be trusted by his teammates!"

And Xinjie lived up to their trust and immediately made a decision:

"The three of us stayed, and Nanali and the Dragon Soul followed Miss Lacey."

There is no objection to this result. It's nothing more than two situations. Either two girls stay here or three boys stay here. It's not surprising which one Xinjie chooses. Anyway, it would be interesting if a man and girl were left behind. Unfortunately, Xinjie is not Gene, and that will not come out of his mouth.

"Well, no problem, Xiaoxin, let's go there first to ask the mayor about that." Naturally, the Dragon Soul in the Snow Domain has no objection, as he said.

Xinjie nodded. Since the information about the flower of life just rejected Jack, it is the same to ask the mayor now. In fact, Xinjie suspected that Jack was probably getting the information about the flower of life from the mayor.

After the discussion, the five followed Lacey to the mayor's house. On the way, she finally knew the names of the five people: the handsome red-haired teenager was the captain, the swordsman Xinjie, the tall and plump figure of the archer was Nanali, and the gentle blue-haired girl was the snow dragon soul. Some naive young swordsmen are called Robert Bruce, and the small knight in heavy armor is Gene Gray Mane.

"My father is in there. I have to contact other adventurers who don't have a place to live, so I won't go in with you. I'm sorry, Captain Xinjie." After sending the five Xinjie to the mayor's house, Lacey said.

The mayor of Vinoa Town is a middle-aged uncle who looks ordinary. Next to him stands a middle-aged woman, presumably his wife.

"Dear adventurer, hello, did my daughter Lacey bring you here?"

"That's right, hello, mayor."

After a few brief greetings, the two sides quickly cut into the topic.

"Does the mayor know where the flower of life is?"

"Is this... I was called by the guild in France today because of this matter."

The mayor looked at the red-haired teenager in front of him who was questioning him, thinking that he was very direct.

"Please sit down and let me speak slowly..."

An hour later.

Xinjie, Gene, Nanali, Snow Dragon Soul and Robert sat on the first floor of the hotel and were eating lunch.

"I really didn't expect that the flower of life was really sighing in the forest."

Several people chatted while eating.

"Yes, I believe this news will spread soon. Xinjie, what do you think?"

Gene took a bite of the chicken in his hand and felt that it tasted really good. Of course, it was also because he was so hungry that the mayor could talk for such a long time. You know, they haven't eaten since they came to the town. If it hadn't been for the identity of the mayor, Gene would have turned his head and left, so now he is the most murderer.

"The Sigh Forest, located in the northeast outside the town, has no fixed entrance."

Before Xinjie could speak, Nanali opened her mouth first and said in a complaining tone, "What's wrong with these two years? There are more and more mazes near the kingdom, and there are basically demons inside."

"If it weren't for this, I'm afraid we wouldn't have come here, Nana." The snow dragon soul smiled and said, "Maybe we should thank those demons?"

"Thank you? Why thank them, Dragon Soul? Nanali asked puzzledly.

"Naturally, thank them for giving us the opportunity to get to know each other!" The snow dragon soul looked at Nanali and said.

"Indeed."

Xinjie nodded. It can be said that without those demons, he will never know these people in front of him in his life, Nanali with the same personality as a boy, Gene, the snow dragon soul with the temperament of a young lady, and Robert, who always wants to grow up, is not because of fighting against those demon clans. Did they just come together?

This may be fate.

"Captain, if we can really destroy the demon clan, will we return to the original world?" Robert suddenly asked weakly.

When asked by Robert, Xinjie didn't know how to answer. When he first came to this world, he was told that he was called here as a "legendary hero" and was summoned here to save the country, but when the king determined that he was not the legendary hero, he was ruthlessly told that he could not return to the original world.

As for now... they are also doing their part to fight against the demons on this continent.

Maybe it's really like Robert said that if they destroy the demon clan one day, then they will not have the meaning of continuing to exist in the world.

Will there really be that day?

"No, I don't want to go back! I'm a swordsman here. When I go back to the original world, I can only go to school every day, which is not interesting at all!" Robert said with his head down.

Xinjie saw his listless appearance, stretched out his hand and touched his head gently. "I believe there are many people who share the same thoughts as you. Maybe one day, we will go back to our respective worlds..."

"Senior Xinjie is so gentle!" Robert immediately said with tears in his eyes.

"But what does it matter? At least, we are together now, and no matter what happens in the future, we will always be friends. The feelings between friends will not change with distance, even if there is really a 'legendary hero' in the world..."

"Xinjie..." Nanali heard the implied melancholy in Xinjie's tone and didn't know what to say. She is a resident of this world. Naturally, she hopes that the demon clan will disappear forever, at least not to harm ordinary people. But she didn't know what would happen to these alien guests for the purpose of destroying the demon clan on the day when the demon clan really disappeared.

"Ah, Xinjie!"

At this moment, someone suddenly appeared, and it was also a person Nanali didn't want to see.

"Xinjie, are you eating now? Can I sit next to you?"

Qiqi, who appeared from somewhere, said excitedly, as if he hadn't seen anyone else beside Xinjie.
