"No wonder you are like this..." Yu Qianqian sighed. After hearing the whole story, she felt like she didn't know what to say.
"Let's not talk about it." If there is nothing you can do, then don't think about it for the time being. This is Shen Yun's way of acting. He patted the two women's shoulders and said: "Let's wait for the bald man here for a while, and then find a place Have a meal."
He suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to tell the bald dean about what he had read and inferred in the novel. This was also a big deal, but judging from the bald dean's behavior just now, Shen Yun was very suspicious. Was he already prepared for this situation?
After a while, the bald dean came back. When he saw the four of Shen Yun huddled together, he was stunned for a moment, and then became very happy.
"Oh~ Her Royal Highness is indeed very powerful. I have been trying to persuade this kid for a long time, but he still looks like a dead man." The bald dean said with a smile.
It didn't matter that Shen Yun was thick-skinned, but Yu Qianqian and Kitty Girl were embarrassed to stay in Shen Yun's arms anymore, and they both stood up with red faces. Only the little girl Mengmeng was not shy at all, but jumped up and trotted away He walked up to the bald dean and kicked him in the calf.
"..."
The old face of the bald dean suddenly wrinkled. Even though the little girl has thin arms and legs, the power of that kick was really strong. Although it could not break the bald dean's defense, it still caused him some pain. Enough.
Ignoring the constant glances from the bald dean, Chen Yun and Yu Qianqian talked and laughed in a low voice. It wasn't until the little girl kicked her again a few times in anger that he raised his head and said with a smile: "Mengmeng, don't be naughty, bald grandpa is old." He's so old, how could you kick him like this?"
"Humph!" After hearing Chen Yun's words, the little girl glared at the bald dean again, and then jumped back to Shen Yun.
You are the grandpa, and your whole family is grandpa!
The bald dean roared in his heart, but still forced a smile on his face and said: "I thought you had already left. I was just thinking about inviting you to dinner..."
"It doesn't matter, I'll give you this opportunity later." Shen Yun waved his hand, and then said seriously: "You were leaving in a hurry just now, and I was a little confused. There was something I forgot to tell you. It's like this..." With that, I narrated the process of finding the book "Knight's Sword - Kasaluen's Dragon-Slaying Journey" and its contents, and finally attached my own conjectures.
After finishing the narration, Shen Yun stared closely into the eyes of the bald dean, trying to discern something from them.
"Okay, boy, don't look at me like that, I know what you are thinking!" The bald dean felt a little panicked when Shen Yun saw him. He stretched out his big hand and rubbed his bald head and said, "The relationship between the light angels and us is better than that of the dark ones." Those of angels are more complicated. I actually don’t understand the specific situation. If you really want to understand this aspect, I recommend you to find someone."
"...Looking for someone?" Shen Yun frowned, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind, and blurted out: "Mrs. Sally?"
"That's her!" the bald dean confirmed.
Shen Yun was silent. He had made many guesses about Mrs. Sally's true identity, including the Angel of Light. At this time, it was not surprising to hear the bald dean say this to Shen Yun. To be honest, Mrs. Sally and Her maid Lilia originally had a good impression on Shen Yun and was of great help to him, but when she thought that the Light Angel didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend, Shen Yun felt a little uncomfortable.
The most hateful thing is that you are a bald guy! You know what you are talking about but you just don’t say anything!
"Speaking of this, there happens to be something I need you to go to." As if he didn't see Shen Yun's changing and tangled expression, the bald dean said to himself: "Go to the orc prophet and Mrs. Sally respectively and ask them Bring back two things."
"Um?"
"Actually, this matter should have been done a long time ago. I just considered that your strength is not high. At the same time, I don't want to put too much pressure on you. But things are different now. The Dark Angel is pressing harder and harder. If I don't go, I may not have a chance to go!" As the bald dean said, he suddenly turned to look at Kitten Girl and said with a smile: "Besides, you deceived the girl who was raised by someone else. It really can't be justified if you don't go and see the old man."
Kitten Girl blushed, puffed up her cheeks and glared at him fiercely.
"Do I have to go get this thing?" Shen Yun frowned in confusion. Seeing the disappointment on Kitten Girl's face, he hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that at this time..."
"You must go!" The bald dean's face became serious. He looked at Shen Yun and said word by word: "While you are gone, I will go to an old friend to get another thing. Wait for you to come back. , you need to take these things and go to another place."
"It's so troublesome..." Shen Yun muttered with some dissatisfaction.
"There is no other way. Although we can have people pick it up, these things are very important and we really don't dare to take the risk. And if you go there in person, they might have something else to say to you." The bald dean grinned and smiled. Said: "Don't you want to know the situation of Light Angel? If you ask, you will know!"
Chen Yun was silent for a while, then finally nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go!"
Then he turned to look at the three women. Before he could speak, Yu Qianqian said: "I'll go with you!"
"you……"
Shen Yun wanted to refuse, but he didn't expect the bald head dean to be the first to agree: "It would be best for Her Royal Highness to go together, otherwise this brat will be beaten up if he says something inappropriate."
"I'll go too, I'll go too, brother, I'll go with you~!" The little girl jumped up, grabbing Chen Yun's sleeves and not letting go. At the same time, she turned to look at the bald dean, with a fierce look in her eyes and threatened: "You Say! Am I the most suitable to go with you?!"
"This..." The bald dean hesitated. The little girl has a special status. According to him, it would be best to tie her up and feed her at regular intervals every day. But after thinking about it, the bald dean felt that he might get hurt if he told the truth. He was beaten, so he said tactfully: "Well... look, your brother only has two hands. If he flies over, he can only hold one in each hand. Why don't you go there next time?"
This trip is going to the orc prophet's place. As the adopted daughter of the prophet, Viela naturally has to go with her, and Yu Qianqian, who has already decided to go with her... Well, if you think about it this way, it seems that the bald man's words make sense?
It’s even more hateful if it makes sense!
The little girl stared at the bald dean with unkind eyes, wishing to go up and take a bite. Turning her eyes, the little girl's lips suddenly trembled slightly, and she saw the body of the bald dean opposite suddenly trembled. Shock appeared on his face. With a look of ecstasy, he was about to say something, but was choked back by the little girl's fierce glare.
"Ahem... Ayun, actually, I think it is necessary to bring this girl with me!" The bald dean hesitated for a while and finally said.
"..." Shen Yun glanced at him in surprise, what's wrong with this bald head? Just now, he firmly disagreed with Mengmeng going, why did he change his mind in the blink of an eye?
"Uh... It makes sense for me to say that..." The bald dean saw Shen Yun's strange eyes and knew that his abnormality aroused his suspicion, so he subconsciously wanted to find a suitable reason. But this reason was so strange. It's so easy to find, his head has long been filled with various metals. It's really difficult to turn it at this moment...
"Go see Tifa!" Just as Shen Yun was becoming more and more confused and the bald dean was sweating profusely, the little girl suddenly jumped to Shen Yun's side, hugged one of his arms and said with a smile: "Mengmeng wants to Tifa, I need to see her~"
"Oh~" Shen Yun suddenly realized. This explanation is quite reasonable. As a child, he misses his friends and wants to see them... Well, that's understandable!
"I remember that Kaguya Forest is also in the Western Continent?" Shen Yun asked.
"Yes, Kaguya Forest is somewhat far away from the Baba Hari Plain where the Orc Empire is located. But it's not very far by flying. It can be reached in about four or five days." The bald dean nodded.
"Then let's go together. It's rare for Mengmeng to have close friends, so we should keep in touch more." Shen Yun decided with a wave of his hand.
He was speaking from his heart. Although the little girl is much more cheerful than before, there are still very few people who can really get close to her. Now it is rare to have Tifa, a former sister and current friend, whom she misses. Shen Yun really I can't bear to deny the little girl's little wish. It's just a few extra days of traveling, so it shouldn't delay anything.
Of course, it’s a good thing that Tifa is a mother. If Mengmeng was so concerned about a man, Shen Yun might have to use various methods to reject her...
"Yeah~ Brother is so nice~!" The little girl excitedly threw her arms around Shen Yun's neck. With a "click", she kissed Shen Yun on the face.
The bald dean's face twitched and he pretended not to notice. Yu Qianqian and Kitten Girl looked at each other with helplessness on their expressions.
Chen Yun didn't feel anything at all. In his heart, he still regarded Mengmeng as a child. After rubbing the little girl's head, Chen Yun turned around and said, "Now that it's decided, don't wait too long. We'll set off in two days." Look. After looking at the three women around him, he saw that they all nodded to indicate that it was okay, and then continued: "Help us prepare the detailed map, and other tokens and so on. You can take care of it. Oh, by the way, if you have anything to bring, If you have to say it earlier, I’m afraid I’ll forget it by then.”
"..."
The bald dean had an illusion. Why did he feel that this boy was giving orders to him as if he was ordering his subordinates... He was his dean! Dean!
With two angry roars in his heart, the bald dean immediately went out to prepare. Before leaving, he did not forget to leave a few crystal coins, saying that they were the money for tonight's dinner...
After the bald dean closed the door and went out, Shen Yun reached out and took the crystal coins on the table and gently tossed them a few times. The coins made a pleasant sound when they collided, which gradually made a smile appear on Shen Yun's face.
"It's really not easy for him..." Staring at a crystal coin on his fingertips, Shen Yun said calmly: "I know I have grievances in my heart, but I let me vent them."
"If the dean could hear what you said, he would be very pleased." Yu Qianqian smiled lightly. She knew that the man in front of her was not unintelligent, but more often than not he liked to do things based on his own temperament and preferences. He could He can see many things clearly, but if he is not forced to do so, he will only choose to pay attention to those that suit his own mind, and ignore the rest.
"Happy? I think he should be so moved that he hugged my thigh and cried bitterly." As he said this, a picture of a bald man holding his thigh and crying suddenly flashed in Chen Yun's mind. My whole body was filled with excitement.
"Forget it, just let him be happy..."
…
The bald dean moved quickly and delivered everything he needed to Shen Yun's dormitory that night. It seemed that, as he said, Shen Yun had already planned to make this trip...
"This is the entire map of Andalus... This is the map of the Western Continent... These are maps of various forces and regions in the Western Continent. Some of them also have military distribution marked on them. Don't lose them." The bald dean opened the package and took out a lot of things, the most numerous of which was the map made of animal skins like this.
"Why are you giving me so many, and they are all made of animal skins?" Shen Yun asked in surprise.
"I was afraid that you might want to go somewhere else at the last minute, but luckily I gave it to you!" The bald dean raised a map, shook it, and said proudly: "Don't underestimate these maps, these are the secrets of the Blue Water Palace. Maps, you can’t get them outside! These maps are not only more detailed than ordinary maps, but also have tough leather, waterproof and fireproof. You are so careless, I’m afraid that if I give you a magic photocopy, it will break in a few days.”
Shen Yun opened his mouth but couldn't refute anything. He could only scratch his nose in embarrassment and muttered: "I can keep it for Qianqian and the others."
The bald dean ignored him, pulled the maps into a pile, then pointed at a pile of token badges and said: "These are the privilege tokens of various forces. With them, you can successfully meet everyone you meet."
"Lanshui didn't arrange an official identity for me?" Shen Yun felt a little pained looking at these tokens. He suddenly felt that he didn't look like he was visiting the country in an upright manner, but more like a spy who was lurking in other countries to instigate rebellion.
"Lanshui has arranged for you to be a military envoy, and the corresponding certificates are also included. But you also know that some soldiers do not know such high-end things. They need to ask their superiors for instructions, and it takes a lot of money to go back and forth. Time. And at that time, these things can help you move forward smoothly!" The bald dean patted the pile of tokens next to him, with a look on his face that you know how.
"..."
Although he was a little speechless, Shen Yun had to admit that what the bald man said made sense. If he didn't want to be dragged on the defense line for ten days and a half because of identity verification, these tokens, which he didn't know were true or false, could indeed do the trick. Not a small effect.
...It's just that I always feel that I have overlooked something...
Shen Yun took an Elf token and played with it. The token was exquisitely shaped and was in the shape of a leaf. Mysterious lines were carved on the metal leaves. It was said that elves could see from these lines. out the information represented therein.
Gently stroking the lines on the leaves, Chen Yun suddenly whispered: "Am I an elf?"
"What?"
"I asked, am I an elf?" Shen Yun's eyebrows twitched violently: "If an elf comes to see you with our blue water military badge, will you let it go?"
