Another World's Palm Spider

"Abandon the nest?"

As a decent nobleman, Yvette Zeffinia knew that it would be impolite for her to exclaim in such a high-pitched voice during the meeting time, but the two guests in front of her were really not outsiders. Compared with the previous gaffe, her exclamation at this moment is nothing.

"...how could it be?" The petite girl murmured twice in confusion, then frowned, and raised the biggest doubt in her heart: "Don't high-level monsters at the king level not easily abandon their nests? Then why— —Did it discover you?"

In the reception room, sitting at the other end of the tall round table were the brothers Byron and Simon.

"No. Before the ghost spider disappeared, all activities were normal, so we sneaked into its lair." Simon, who had put away his previous surprise, was the first to answer the question: "It is also because of this that we It is very strange to assume that traces of it have been lost."

"How do you judge that it is an abandoned nest—"

Byron said: "We stayed there for three days, Yvette, if it abandoned its nest and went to other places, we must be able to find out the news - that's why we returned to Agra to settle down." He saw that Yvette couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. Although he was puzzled as to why this childhood sweetheart who had been away for several years had such a big obsession with a monster, Byron still upheld his usual attitude and gently A word of comfort: "Don't worry, as long as it is still on this continent, we will definitely find it."

Yvette pursed her lips, but did not express her opinion immediately.On the other hand, the maid on the side was very discerning. Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, she immediately stepped forward and eased the awkward atmosphere by pouring tea.Byron didn't respond to her movement for the time being, but Simon looked him up and down calmly.

This maid is not the same as the one who blocked people at the stairs in the morning. Although the one in front of me is also wearing the same standard maid outfit, compared with the one in the morning, it has two completely different styles - dark golden brown His hair was also neatly tied behind his head, and on a fair and small face, the eyes of the same color as the hair seemed to be filled with spring water, and even the already upright facial features revealed a sense of agility.

One has a variety of styles, the other is gentle and beautiful, but whether it is clothing or temperament, they are not as good as the servants of the noble families in the royal city.

After the brown-haired knight looked at the maid standing behind his master, his eyes returned to Yvette.

In fact, when he and Byron decided to meet with their employer, they did not expect that the client who paid a lot of money to issue the crusade mission would be a childhood sweetheart who used to play together.

Although he and Byron had just turned 16 years old when the Zephaniah family was expelled, they already had some understanding of the political circle of the empire. In a short time, this originally prominent noble family disappeared in the royal city, including the aristocratic lady from the Zephenia family who had been familiar with for a long time.

Simon didn't expect that they would meet this noble lady again under such circumstances—in fact, they all thought they would never see Yvette again.

The petite girl sitting in front of her hardly changed in appearance. She had light brown curly hair, exquisite and small facial features, slightly pale skin, and her rose petal-like lips and tone of voice, all of which were the same as the little girl in her memory. The girls overlapped together.

Only Yvette's well-regulated dress for meeting guests shows the fact that she is a declining nobleman—the style of serving the nobles in the royal city has changed countless times in the past few years, and the suit she is wearing is obviously long outdated.

As long as they are normal members of the nobility, they must dress decently. This is a reflection of status, and it is also a kind of upbringing and respect for others. Therefore, even men will not ignore dressing, let alone Simon, a member of the royal family. part of it.

After the excitement of reuniting with his childhood playmate cooled down, Simon also noticed how depressed the noble lady was at the moment.

At the same time, Simon, who realized this, had more doubts in his heart—at first he was just wondering why Yvette, as a nobleman, issued such a task that seemed to have nothing to do with her, but now His confusion turned to other ideas: Zephaniah didn't even fall to such a point, why did Yvette spend a lot of money to hire adventurers to fight against the spiders?

For the name?The employment system of the Adventurer's Guild has always been anonymous. Generally, the employer and the adventurer who takes on the task will not have the opportunity to meet directly—unless the employer has very special requirements. The contract let the world know that such crusade missions are successful, and most of the praise will only fall on the adventurers.

Is that for profit...?

Something flashed quickly in Simon's eyes.

"Little Yvette," he used the usual address for this noble lady, and asked half-jokingly: "I still don't understand, what do you, a lady from a noble family, want this monster crystal core for?"

The girl raised her long eyelashes, and immediately looked at him with her big beautiful eyes.

The brown-haired knight immediately caught the inquiry and hesitation in her eyes.After struggling for a while, Yvette glanced at him and Byron beside him, and finally spoke.

"I want to become an elementalist." Yvette said, biting her lower lip a little uneasily, and continued: "The crystal nucleus of high-level monsters is an indispensable material."

Simon and Byron looked at each other, and they both saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.

The crystal nucleus of high-level monsters can indeed be fused with the human body. Before, they wondered whether it was because Aize killed the ghost spider, swallowed the ghost spider's crystal nucleus and successfully fused, so that he would be immune to the ghost spider The corrosiveness of the silk slime in the nest.

Although Byron put forward such a hypothesis, the possibility of this point is not high if you look deeper. After all, the human body and the monster's crystal nucleus need a very high degree of compatibility to successfully fuse, but one is a human being. It is a monster, and there are very few existences who have crossed the two races and have a high degree of compatibility. Failure must be life-threatening, and success is not necessarily good. However, after growing a whole body of hair, it turned into a creature neither human nor beast, neither human nor accommodated by monsters, and was finally regarded as an example of a monster killing.

"You mean, you plan to fuse the crystal nucleus of the ghost spider to possess its abilities?" Simon was a little surprised: "You are too whimsical!"

Yvette's eyes flickered, and her long eyelashes drooped again: "Brother Simon, Brother Byron, you don't understand, I...I must become an elementalist!" After she finished speaking, she quickly raised her eyes He glanced at the two brothers opposite: "But my method is not direct fusion, no matter how much... no matter how much, I can't say anything."

The two brothers looked at me, and I looked at you. In the end, Byron came forward: "The ghost spider abandoned its nest and disappeared. As adventurers, we have accepted your commission and will definitely complete it. If we can find out about it If there is no trace of it, it will definitely bring you back its crystal nucleus, but as your loyal friend, neither Simon nor I want to watch you do dangerous things just after reuniting with you, so no matter what, please start again. Think about it before making a decision..." He thought for a few seconds, as if he was considering how to continue: "...Yvette, if you have any difficulties, please remember that Simon and I will help you."

Yvette seemed a little excited after hearing these words, but she immediately took a deep breath, her eyes wandered between Byron and Simon, and she finally nodded with her lips like rose petals.

The serious topic came to an end, and Yvette took a sip from the white porcelain teacup inlaid with gold and silver patterns, and after swallowing the warm black tea, she asked in a chatty manner: "By the way, I heard from Fiona that in the morning When she went to invite Brother Simon and Brother Byron to meet with me, she also saw a young man with black hair. Who is he?"

"Ai Ze is a survivor we brought out from the Nether Spider's lair." The one who had the most say on this issue was Byron who first discovered Ai Ze: "Because the crusade mission has nothing to do with him, so there is no Bring him with you."

Yvette keenly caught the key word: "...Ai Ze? His name is Ai Ze?" She immediately thought of the famous name of Nether Spider, immediately put down the teacup, frowned and asked eagerly: "Could it be—"

"You think too much, little Yvette." Simon snorted and laughed: "That guy forgot about being caught by the ghost spider, and he didn't even remember his name when he woke up. I heard that he was He was brought out from the lair of the ghost spider Azelian by Byron, and he actually named himself Aize, how about that? Isn’t he kidding?”

Yvette was stunned, "It's quite interesting..."

But do ordinary people really do this?Cut off half of the monster's name and use it as your own name?Yvette expressed deep doubts about this black-haired young man—she had thoroughly investigated the information on the ghost spider, and all the attacks of that monster were corrosive, but Fiona's description said that although the black-haired young man What's the matter with being dirty but looking good?

However, this declining noble lady also knew that even though she and the two brothers in front of her were playmates when they were young, no matter how good their relationship was back then, it couldn't be worth the passing of time for so many years.To be honest, she never expected to meet them again under such circumstances, but since the god of fate brought them together, she must seize this good opportunity that came to her door.

To revive the Zephenia family, not only must oneself become stronger, but no one who can be used can be left behind!

The most important thing right now is not the suspicious black-haired youth, but the two brothers in front of him—after renewing the friendship with them and gaining their trust, it will not be too late to find out what happened to the black-haired youth.

Thinking of this, the corner of Yvette's mouth curled up, revealing a coquettish smile: "Stop talking about strangers, brother Simon, brother Byron, all these years you—"

……

The reminiscence session initiated by Yvette finally ended after nearly an hour and a half.

After returning from the hotel reception room to the door of the room on the second floor, Byron was taken aback after opening the door, and then his face changed: "...Ai Ze?"

The person who was still sound asleep when he was called out by Simon earlier was no longer in his bed. The night wind blew in from the open window, and the curtains were kept flapping—there was no one in the room.

Simon, who also saw all this, was not as nervous as Byron. He didn't know what Byron found on Aize two hours ago. The knight who didn't notice his brother's face said casually: " Is this little spider quite free? Probably because he woke up and saw that we were not there, so he went out to look for food when he was hungry. Let’s go, let’s go eat something too.”

Byron didn't know how much he listened to Simon's words, but his expression returned to normal when he turned his head to respond: "Find Aize first."

Simon, who didn't understand what Byron was obsessed with, shrugged and followed his brother downstairs without any objection. Just as he got down to the first floor of the hotel, he saw a waiter with a familiar face running over anxiously——

"No, it's not good! Two heroes, you, your companion—"

Upon hearing this, Byron immediately asked, "Where did you see him go?"

The waiter shook his head, nodded, and finally got over his breathlessness: "He, he was 'invited' to be a guest by the youngest son of the city lord!"
