"La~~la la la~~~"

"You seem to be in a good mood."

"Wow--!!!"

The sudden sound startled Ariel instinctively! She turned around suddenly and stretched out her hands to cover important parts of her body.

Turning his head, what he saw was Napa floating on the walkway outside, looking at him silently.

After confirming that it was this cat, Ariel's tense mood immediately relaxed. But she only relaxed for less than a second. She suddenly covered her mouth, quickly wrapped herself in a bath towel, and quietly

He rushed to the bathroom door, carefully put his ear to the door, and listened to the sounds outside.

After waiting for a few minutes to confirm that there was no sound outside, the president breathed a sigh of relief. She returned to the shower room, but just when she was about to take off her bath towel and continue taking a bath, she turned her head and looked at

Napa, who was still floating over there, thought for a while and said: "Hey, although I haven't paid much attention to it, tell me now, are you a male cat or a female cat?"

Napa snorted and raised her tail slowly: "Will this hinder our current conversation?"

Ariel held the towel on her chest and nodded seriously: "Of course! Tell me quickly, are you a male or a female?"

Unfortunately, the cat didn't seem to intend to discuss this issue with Ariel for too long, but said bluntly: "Why do you conclude that those beggars came out of the mines in the Eversleeping Mountains?"

Seeing that Napa didn't want to answer her at all, Ariel curled her lips. After hesitating for a moment, she looked at the baffle between the shower room and the corridor outside that could just block the body parts. After thinking about it,

She still took off the bath towel and continued to wash: "Didn't I make it very clear just now? It is based on analysis and reasoning. Of course, my inference may be wrong. So..."

"No, through your heart, I know that you are definitely not just guessing. You were very calm and decisive at the time, which shows that you said that with absolute certainty. So, why are you so sure that the beggar is

Come out of that mine? No... I should say, when you first came to Pelican Town to wake me up and wanted to enter the mine in the Everlasting Mountains to explore, why did you judge that there was 'gold' in it?

This kind of thing? Where did you get the news two years ago?"

Bath water fell from the sky, splashed on Ariel's back, and slowly slid down her skin.

Listening to the cat's question, Ariel's movements paused for a moment. But soon, her movements became smooth again, and she said slowly——

"Don't you know how to read minds? You won't know until you read it yourself?"

With a snap, the kitten's two fleshy claws directly rested on the baffle. The blue pupils of this cat monster stared closely at Ariel, who had her back turned to him, and said forcefully: "I can read your emotions.

, but it is impossible for me to understand the specific content of something you are thinking. Even sometimes when your emotions are too complicated, it is impossible for me to fully understand them. And you have become very skilled in dealing with me recently, right?

?”

Ariel shrugged her shoulders, smiled slightly, and said: "Where? I like drinking milk more than ever before. Your influence on me is not small at all." "So, you are important to us.

What is being hidden? What is going on with the gold? What is going on with the Everlasting Mountains? Ariel, can you tell me what is going on?!"

At first glance, the cat seemed a little impatient.

This situation is very unusual. Ariel can feel the anxiety and uneasiness in Napa's heart, as if if she cannot really tell the truth to her, some terrible mistakes may occur that neither party can predict...

Feeling Napa's emotions, the girl thought for a moment, then turned slightly and asked: "Then tell me first, are you a male or a female?"

Napa snorted, and after smacking her mouth a little, she could only say as if she was giving in: "I'm a mother."

Hearing what Napa said, Ariel turned around. She smiled and put her hands on her hips and said, "Oh? Really? Didn't you lie to me? Can I come and check it out?"

"you dare!"

Napa immediately let go of the baffle, opened her claws at the same time, and showed an attitude that if you dare to come over, I will tear off your beautiful face immediately.

Seeing this, Ariel laughed, simply lay on the boarding board, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I believe you. Well... at the same time, I also understand a little bit of the anxiety in your heart. For you

, my source might actually be important? At least to you, right?"

Napa put away her paws, floated to a slightly farther position, and stopped talking.

"Oh, sometimes I regret it, why I can only understand your emotions, but not what you are really thinking. Hey, why did you say that we can communicate with each other in our hearts several times?

Huh? Was it because we were willing to communicate with each other at that time that we were able to talk to each other?"

The cat hugged its paws and hummed: "Yes, if there is no resistance between the two of us, we can communicate with each other over a short distance. But if we don't want to communicate with each other, then the best we can do is guess.

Get emotional. Having said so much, can you get to the point?"

For the sake of both parties, Ai Luo also knew that he had to tell the truth now.

She nodded, turned around and took a shower again, saying while washing -

"Just like what you said, two years ago, I got the news about a gold mine in the Evermian Mountains. And the person who conveyed the news... what a coincidence, he was also a beggar."

Napa flew over again and hung on the fender, her eyes full of curiosity.

Ai Luo exhaled slightly and continued: "At that time, I had just graduated from Old Tengshu College and was thinking about what I should do next. At this time, a rumor about a gold mine suddenly spread in Hanhai City."

"I was fortunate enough to see the person who spread this rumor. He was a beggar. To be precise, he was almost the same as the beggar in this incident."

"However, the beggar's consciousness recovered very quickly. He quickly woke up under proper treatment and care, and then told the news about a gold mine in the Everlasting Mountains next to Pelican Town. Listening

After receiving this news, I went through some preparations and was able to run to this town to open this guild."

The words have been said, but for Napa, this answer may not be sufficient.

The cat leaned out, tilted its head slightly to the side, and said: "That's it? What are the details? What kind of care did the beggar receive? And under what circumstances did he tell the story about the gold mine? These things

Why did you ignore everything?"

Ariel smiled slightly, her smile was gentle and sweet. The only thing that remained unchanged was probably the gesture that would never let anyone understand what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Napa could only breathe out and settle for the next best thing, saying: "So what do you think is the situation behind this matter? Why are there rumors about gold mines spreading again after such a long time?

No matter how you look at it, this does not look like an accidental incident, it is obvious that someone is behind it."

As the water sprayed down from the shower head behind her, the smile on Ariel's face gradually disappeared. She nodded slightly and said slowly: "No doubt, there must be something behind this. Something...

...is desperately trying to lure someone to the mine, to the deeper underground. As for the reason for this temptation, I still don’t know, but according to the inertia of our human thinking, since there is

Action, then there must be a reason. This effort wants people to delve deeper... Haha, I am quite curious."

Seeing the smile on Ariel's face, Napa shook her head: "Curious? I think it would be better to reduce this curiosity as much as possible. Ariel, although it is up to me, a monster, to remind you, a human being,

It may be a little strange, but I still have to say, you must be careful. [Liancheng www.lcds.info] In the deepest part of that mine... I have a hunch that even if I stay with you, I might

Nor can I protect your integrity."

The girl smiled and stretched out her hand to gently rub the cat's head. Regardless of her concern and care for it, she still felt warm in her heart.

"Okay, okay, don't worry! I won't do anything dangerous."

"Really? Is it true that a person like you who only cares about money would not do dangerous things to get rich?"

"Of course! Money is not as important as your own life! Don't worry, even the most greedy businessman in the world will not give away his life for some money."

Now that Ariel had such a guarantee, Napa felt the emotions in the girl's heart. Although there were still some concealments, she could at least feel the stability in her heart.

In response, the cat finally nodded, and after a few more instructions, he picked up a dry towel and handed it to Ariel, asking her to wipe herself clean, put on clean clothes, and become a tomboy again.

One person and one cat left the bathroom chatting and laughing, Napa returned to her cat house, and Airl returned to his room, turned off the lights and rested.

Until he lay completely on the bed...

(Of course people won’t risk their lives for money.)

After exhaling slightly, Ai Luo slowly closed his eyes.

(But as long as you have enough money, what do you care about your own life?)
