She stared at the paper.
She is different now. If she was the same as before, she would not have the interest to read the paper with so many words on it.
But now she can read it very fluently.
"Is that so... There is indeed such a fire dragon in this dungeon, and it is particularly difficult? If you are not a professional... There is no way to deal with it?"
"Hmm? Interested?"
Pevlan saw that Iel seemed to be a little more interested than before, smiled, and continued to explain.
"You know, our team is actually mainly responsible for dealing with fire attributes. But recently... For some reasons, we have to need a brand new Holy Shielder."
"When do we leave?"
Iel stood up and picked up the huge backpack she had placed next to her. She seemed to be ready to leave at the moment of meeting with Pevlan's invitation.
Although she was wearing a black "maid outfit", her outfit as an adventurer was not like a "maid" at all.
A huge backpack, a shield made of various materials looted from the dungeon, and capable equipment.
There is no other adjective that can describe her except a well-trained adventurer.
"You..."
Pevlan found that Iael seemed to have prepared for hunting and had no time to listen to her chatter.
This is completely different from the previous one...
Always reckless, extremely timid, carefully thinking about everything, and even hesitant to take the key step.
"I have no problem, I can follow you. The requirement is that the heart of the flame dragon must be left to me. The heart should be meaningless to you except for a small amount of medicinal use."
Her decisive eyes met with Pevlan's upward gaze.
Pevlan, who has always been careless and quick to decide things, did not immediately agree to her, but-
"Iael, you haven't... come out yet, right?"
"..."
When it comes to this question, her ears stand up, her eyes become sharper, and she seems to be quite alert.
"I'm just carrying out the mission he left behind."
Pevlan only noticed it at this time.
The respectful little maid often called herself "Iel", but it seemed that she had never heard it again after she went to the appointment.
She used "I" as her self-proclaimed name very firmly, as if she wanted to persistently show that every word she said was her self-consciousness.
However, this was just talking to her...
Pevlan looked at her maid outfit that had not changed, wondering if she would still call herself "Iel" in private, and still call Will "Master".
"What about completing these tasks?"
Pevlan did not intend to give out the information about the Crazy City. She poured a glass of wine and put it on the table.
A particularly generous captain like Pevlan believed that all awkward things could be solved by drinking a glass together.
This is why she invited Iel out one night.
"Go to the next one."
"No, that's not what I meant--" Pevlan paused and changed to a softer tone, "What if... what if you really killed the fire dragon you wanted to kill?"
"You mean Al? Do you have any clues about it?"
"Ahaha... I don't know who you are looking for. It's just that from the rumors, although you are hunting fire dragons frantically, you don't ask for their rewards, and you will deliberately leave their hearts."
Pevlan pointed to her heart.
"Old adventurers like us who deal with fire dragons a lot know that their hearts are engraved with names. You must be obsessed with finding a specific one to do this."
After she finished speaking, she turned her hand 180 degrees and pointed it at Iel, also pointing at her heart.
"That is the task you want to complete the most, and the most difficult task to complete. What if you do it?"
"If I find it..."
Iel paused for a moment and sat down.
She stared at Pevlan with her eyes, especially firm, as if she was just going to express her firmness with the perspective of sitting down and looking at her level.
There was no hesitation at all.
She could answer the second half of the sentence without thinking-
"I will kill it. Then commit suicide."
"...Ah?"
"It is enough to complete the young master's mission. The life of 'Iel' described by him ends here, so there is no need for me to live any longer."
"You...how can you be so..."
Pevlan looked at Iel, who spoke such a heavyweight word calmly without any fluctuations, and was speechless for a moment.
This answer surprised Pevlan too much.
She was not surprised that Iel gave this answer, but...
She did think about this question.
It was totally unexpected that she would think about where she would go after completing the mission, instead of stopping at the last mission.
"...What's wrong?"
Iel tilted his head, and seemed to not understand why Pevlan was blaming him and finished speaking.
"Ahhh...what kind of person is Will, why can he bring out such an awkward personal maid like you? It really makes people speechless..."
"I think my answer...is quite reasonable, isn't it?"
Yiel did not pause or stutter at all. Pevlan had already felt it. She and the previous team that found a stranger followed half of the Entak Empire all the way, and they were so loyal to the palace all the way from the border that they could no longer be loyal. Puppies are different.
She now has no hesitation about what she wants to do, and she will no longer hesitate or be afraid.
"I was born because of him. Without him, I wouldn't even be sitting here now. There would be no Flame Dragon Slayer. But even so..."
Her voice trembled slightly.
"Even so...I didn't...protect him properly. When he faced...the battle of destiny that he had thought about for so long...I couldn't even be by his side..."
Pevlan felt that this might be the first time Yiel showed her emotions.
She had been holding it back before, but when someone finally mentioned Will in front of her without any scruples, she was able to express those feelings that had been accumulated for a long time.
"So, without the future he wrote for me, I definitely wouldn't be here."
"Iel, who is not needed by him, has no need to exist in this world."
"At that time, can you please investigate where his tomb is for me? The System family has not announced it. At least I want to sleep next to him."
After she finished speaking these three sentences, she twitched her reddish nose slightly, as if she had held back those tears.
"..."
Peflan suddenly felt that there was no difference between her and the previous Yiel who was looking for her master.
Still for Will, she could do anything, she could go crazy for him, but she still couldn't do anything without him.
only……
Now Yiel...
It's more like a little dog that, after its owner passes away, will stay on the path where it will come back every day. Without its owner, no one will care about it anymore - just because he mentioned that he wanted to see him first when he came home. she.
She sighed, and after some hesitation, she unfolded the second note.
Above is the corner of Entak's map. You can see a small mark, which is the location of the Burning City.
"The Burning City is here. You can just ride there with me tomorrow. After all, I am alone...well...I am here to see you as a friend."
"friend……?"
Yiel took the second note.
"Come? Since you agreed, how about a toast? To celebrate our cooperation again?"
Pevlan raised her glass.
"No." Yi'er shook his head, "The young master has said that canines cannot touch alcohol."
Chapter 389: Unsolvable Frost
"Good morning everyone, I am Yi Aier. I join you in order to kill the flame dragon in the Burning City. Please give me your advice in the future."
Yiel, who was wearing a black maid outfit that looked like mourning clothes, stood next to Peflan and bowed deeply in front of everyone in the White Castle.
"..."
The White Castle, which had always given a warm welcome, fell into silence at this moment, feeling a little at a loss when faced with such a cold and reserved Yiel.
They looked at the little maid who had been with them briefly but was now completely different, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Especially Pevlan.
"Ah...Ahaha, that's right. Our previous strategy for the Burning City was not very smooth, wasn't it? After all, the strongest Holy Shielder in the team was taken away..." Pevlan stood aside and thought for a moment. I was a little embarrassed, so I stood up and explained, "So, taking this factor into consideration, I invited back Yi'er, who everyone knows was the strongest before! With her here, there will definitely be no problem in dealing with the Flame Dragon. "
"Yes. I will successfully complete the mission, and please give me Yanlong's heart when the time comes."
After she finished speaking, she bowed deeply.
Although she was still as overly "polite" as before, and indeed looked like a maid, her tone of voice had completely lost her former childishness.
"..."
The people at the foot of the steps who originally raised their hands to speak through Peflan were hesitant and embarrassed midway.
"The strategy plan is to start tomorrow. I am on the road and need to understand the characteristics of Yanlong as soon as possible, so... I will go to bed tonight. Don't worry, I always get up on time."
After Iel finished speaking, she shook her tail - her half-orc's fluffy tail was still as cute as before.
However, there was an extra layer of coldness about her whole body, which everyone present could feel.
"..."
Although everyone knows that Yi Aier's magic is mainly ice-based, especially the unique skill she has mastered, the plain ice array...
But this doesn’t mean that she will bring everyone such an irresistible frost right now, right? !
Just by the few words Yi Er said there, everyone felt as if they were about to be frozen.
Even the sunny captain Pevlan couldn't melt this frost.
"S-Sister? This, this, this... what's going on?" The skinny monkey-like swordsman of White Castle spoke cautiously.
"Why did little sister Yi'er suddenly become like this? Isn't she that little girl who stutters when speaking and doesn't seem to be very proficient in strategy?!" The warehouse management guy who usually works as a logistics manager also chimed in. .
"The expression and clothes are also very scary, wow! She...she still can't come out...after all, we all know that the young master she has been talking about..." The little girl in the back row, the output mage, held the magic weapon tightly. Staff, shivering and afraid to analyze.
Bang.
Pevlan smashed the wine glass on the table, making a loud sound, interrupting the words of others present.
"Don't talk about it yet. For her, the death of that person may be really difficult, right?"
"Then... eldest sister, will your plan to persuade her to join our team still succeed?"
"Yes. Originally, I was thinking that if the former little girl Yi'er joins us, we must give her the highest treatment, replace her with the best equipment, and contact the newspaper to make an announcement. Ntak!”
"Let's try it first."
Pevlan looked at the corridor where Yiel finally disappeared and drank the wine in her hand.
She is not pure-minded either. Yi'el is a new independent adventurer who is quite popular right now - just being popular is not enough. Her strength is very solid, much better than many marketed adventurers.
Their team was not "because the previous Holy Shields were assigned to other places", but because when they were performing an emergency mission issued by the Adventurers Association headquarters, they encountered a strange increase in dungeon monsters and were buried underground. City.
Then, she thought of Yi Aier.
She really has selfish motives and wants to see if Yi Aier can get over her grief and if she is willing to join other adventure teams, can she join them.
after all……
