Chapter 205: The Gathering of the Brave Team
Bai Xiu gritted his teeth and handed over a gold coin. Strength was not his strong point, so defeat was inevitable. On the side, Valen was whistling and looking up at the sky.
"Valen, you will not have your alcohol quota for the next month!" After saying this, Bo Xiu ignored Valen who was shouting and looked at the man in red robe.
"You are very strong, are you interested in joining my team?"
The red-robed man grabbed the flying gold coin and blew at it: "No, no, no, the free wind cannot be restrained." He looked at Bai Xiu and said, "Besides, you don't seem to be very strong."
Bai Xiu was a little discouraged. Adam came over and said, "It's time to go. Let's go in the dark."
A whistle sounded, and the man in the red robe sized up Adam: "You seem very strong, do you want to bet with me?"
Adam got a headache when he heard about gambling. The original deity of that scumbag threw himself into this world just because of a bet: "No need, I'm not short of money."
The red-robed man grabbed Adam's arm and said, "It's just one gold coin, not expensive. Come on, come on, come on?"
"You shouldn't be short of money, right? Why are you betting with others?" Adam stopped.
“No, no, no,” the red-robed man shook his head. “Making money is not the purpose. I long to pursue the unknown result. When the coin is tossed, the feeling of being unable to control it is what I want. The joy of the moment the result surfaces makes me happy.”
"I am a born gambler. My life is a series of gambles with fate!" The man in red robe said in a trance.
"How about this, strong man? Come and make a bet with me!" The red-robed man regained his spirits. "You should be in the same team with that kid. Although I don't know why a strong man like you would hang out with him, I can promise that if you win, I can reluctantly join your team."
The red-robed man looked at the somewhat surprised Bo Xiu and pointed his finger at Adam: "You have to understand, I am not doing this because of you, kid, but because of this strong man."
His expression was exaggerated, as if he was performing an opera, and even his words were like an aria.
Adam looked at him and then sat down: "What you said didn't impress me, but I do want to take a gamble."
The red-robed man extended his hand contentedly: "Aodu is a traveler favored by the spirit of nature," and lowered his voice, "Fourth level!"
"Adam, level four," Adam answered in the same low voice, looking at the arm in front of him.
boom!
As soon as they made contact, the table beneath their elbows broke apart, sending wood chips flying everywhere.
"You must be kidding, right?" Aodu was a little surprised as he looked at the arm that was slowly but steadily moving. "Are you a human? Or a dragon in disguise?"
"Probably." Adam said perfunctorily, and then the situation froze.
Odu raised his arms, unable to break free: "Okay, okay, I give in."
Adam stood up and said, "Pack your things, it's time to go." Without caring whether Aodu would keep his promise or not, he walked towards the town entrance.
"Are I about to embark on a new journey again? I wonder what kind of unknown will be waiting for me this time?" Aodu rubbed his red palms with a smile, and reached out to take out a gold coin.
"Let me see it!"
Aodu put his hands together, caught the flying gold coin, opened it, and threw it casually with a smile on his face: "Here it comes, wait for me!"
As the footsteps faded away, the gold coin tumbled and fell, turning into powder.
Adam was at the entrance of the town at this time. He saw a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figure. She was staring at the jewelry stall hesitantly.
"Yuffy?" After more than a decade, the elf girl had not changed at all. She was still the same as Adam remembered, with the same attire and the same coldness.
Yufei turned around and said, "Hello, Adam." Her tone did not show any joy of meeting an old friend.
"Why are you here?" Adam had already mastered the way to communicate with Yufei. He could just ask directly without any preparation. When she wanted to speak, she would speak, and when she didn't want to speak, he would pretend not to hear.
"I'm traveling and I want to buy a piece of jewelry here, but I don't have enough money." Yufei said, pointing to a hairpin.
"You? You want to buy jewelry? Where's your money?" Adam asked three questions in a row. Elves, wanting to buy jewelry and having no money are hard to connect together. The long lifespan is enough for the immortals to save enough money.
After all, this is an extraordinary world, and longevity brings the accumulation of magic, and magic is power. If it is a world without magic and you don’t master power, your long life can only make you work like a beast of burden for a longer time to pay off your mortgage.
"Yes, I met a magician who taught me magic. My birthday is coming soon. According to human customs, gifts must be given on birthdays. I have spent all the money I had and exchanged it for magic books and upgraded magic devices. The rest of the money I buried is too far away from here." Yufei finished speaking in one breath, and a more gorgeous staff appeared in her hand.
"Putting aside how much the magic device will cost, doesn't the idea of celebrating your birthday bother you?" Adam asked.
"I don't feel that way. It just feels like the human race's birthdays come one after another." Youfei shook her head.
Adam took out a purse and said, "I still have some change. Here it is!"
Yufei took the purse, nodded to the stall owner, and then packed up the stall directly.
"Are you planning to give one every year?" Adam vaguely guessed Yufei's thoughts. To her, human birthdays were too frequent, so she could just pack up a bunch of jewelry so she wouldn't have to go out to buy gifts every time.
Yufei nodded, and a star eagle appeared, grabbed the big package, and flew away into space with great effort. This magical creature entered the magic tide through the original magic to make a transition, and was usually used to deliver letters. Apart from being expensive and troublesome to feed, it had no disadvantages, but expensiveness was often its biggest disadvantage.
"I plan to give her one pack at a time, and then she can pick one as a gift every time it's her birthday." You Fei watched Xingying stagger away. That big pack should be able to be used for dozens or even hundreds of years.
Adam was somewhat impressed by Yufei's unique thinking and hoped that the magician could also understand her intention.
"Where are you going next?"
"No destination, just walking around." Yufei shook her head.
Adam looked at Bai Xiu and his group coming behind him, and remembered Zoya's instructions: "It just so happens that I know a few people, and the team is still short of a magician, why don't you come along!"
"can."
Yufei also turned her head. In the afternoon sun, the smiling brave man, the shouting half-dwarf, and the man with his hands in his pocket kicking every passing pebble formed a beautiful oil painting.
"Bo Xiu, you can't stop me from drinking. Wine is the life of a dwarf!"
"Didn't you say that you only have one sixteenth of dwarf blood and are a human? And look at your height, you're taller than me, so how can you look like a dwarf?"
"Hey, do you want to make a bet with me? If you win, I can buy you guys a drink!"
I won't describe the brave team too much, I'll mainly write about the protagonist, who will be leaving the team soon. Since I don't have any drafts saved, I can only write after get off work. The update time will be a little uncertain in the next few days. I will make up the 10,000 words every day, and make up some more drafts when I'm off work. Then the update time will be more stable.
