Diablo Destruction

still there?

When I came to the exit of the Styx Cave, I looked left and right, but I didn't find the little fox.

Linya must have guessed wrong, right? With the character of that little fox, how could it be possible... Well, maybe it is possible. For example, you can see from writing letters. She is the kind of person who can only stay in the corner because of her shyness. The girl waiting silently inside.

so……

Thinking of this, I stepped out of the entrance and came outside Harrogas. I turned around and found the petite figure in the corner of the ice hill.

Leaning against the ice wall, he kept putting his little hands in front of his mouth to breathe and rub because of the cold. The figure standing alone in the cold wind looked so lonely.

Even so, she never cast her expectant eyes on the entrance. Instead, she raised her head silently, staring at the tiny snowflakes falling from above, and showed a satisfied smile that made her nose sore. It seemed that as long as she could wait silently like this, I am already very happy.

Is it because you don’t expect a fool like me to catch up? Maybe that's it. If Linya hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought that the little fox would wait silently in a place like this.

No, not just this time, what about before? And what about before?

This time, it was because of Linya’s reminder that I broke the letter last night and because of Malagbi’s accidental suggestion.

What about before these? The little fox has done so much for me, and has waited for me silently for so many times like this.

How much has she paid, and how much have I missed?

In other words, how much do I owe this girl?

Maybe there are too many to count.

I wiped the corners of my eyes again and again, but they were still blurry. It was the first time I felt so bitter and worried about my clumsiness.

"Lucia."

He took a breath of cold wind and shouted the name with a choked voice.

"Wow--!!"

Lucia, who looked up at the falling snow and didn't notice me approaching at all, was startled and turned around like a fox whose tail was suddenly pinched.

"Huh? Bad guy, why are you here?"

She made a sound of disbelief, and perhaps even she herself was not aware of it, the arc of joy drawn from the corner of her mouth.

"Idiot, then why are you waiting here again?"

After wiping away the traces, I grinned, trying hard to hide my exposed self-blame and emotion, because I knew that this expression was not what the little fox wanted to see now.

"Don't call me an idiot!"

She shook her delicate little fist at me coquettishly, then a blush gradually appeared on her face, and she stammered.

"I...how did I know you would catch up? If I had known this, I wouldn't have waited for you."

"What you said is really strange. You were obviously waiting for me, but you said you wouldn't wait if you knew I was coming. Isn't this contradictory?"

"Who...who said that Ben Tianhu is waiting for you? I just see the beautiful scenery here and want to stay a little longer."

The little fox's face was red, and its beautiful dark eyes were wandering around, pretending that I admired the northern scenery here.

At this time, do you still want to be arrogant? How dishonest.

"Where are Malagbi and the others?" I asked.

"He...they went back first. Don't...don't get me wrong. I didn't ask them to go back first. They just said they had to leave because they had something to do. Really, it doesn't matter if the captain is left without knowing where to go."

Blushing like this, the little fox would turn his eyes to me from time to time, with a shy glare, as if to say, "Don't get me wrong. Everything I said is true, so I didn't send him away specially." They stay and wait for you.

"Yes, yes, I understand."

I couldn't help laughing and replied repeatedly.

No matter what the little fox said is true, they found a reason to leave, or they were sent away, they should thank these guys.

"So...so..."

The little fox wanted to say something arrogantly, but didn't she know that the more she explained at this time, the more suspicious it would be?

"Okay, okay, I understand, so there's no need to explain anymore."

So, I interrupted her. Although the arrogant little fox is very cute, it would be nice to be more honest occasionally.

"What? You look amazing."

Pouting, the little fox stared at me angrily.

"that……"

"Whatever you want to say, just say it quickly. I am very busy."

"Anyway, I will read those letters as soon as possible and reply to you as soon as possible."

"Huh...huh, I am not a rare fox."

"Also remember to reply to my letter. Don't wander around the door of the Mages Guild with the letter in your hand. You will be regarded as a suspicious person."

"Hey...hey, hey, hey, hey, I can do whatever I want with you, I don't have to worry about you."

"besides……"

"Ah! You are such a real person. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly."

"And... I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

"Why...why do you suddenly look disgusted and say such things? You are really an idiot, a hopeless idiot!!"

"Eh?! Didn't you ask me to say it out loud?"

"I don't remember you saying that."

"..."

"..."

Take a deep breath.

Then, he took a firm step forward and hugged the angry little fox into his arms. Unexpectedly, without any protest, a slender, soft and warm body pressed tightly against him. .

Feeling each other's body temperature, they hugged each other silently for a while. After a long time, a particularly soft voice came from the arms.

"Idiot, how many times do you think this Tianhu has waited? He is such a bad guy."

"Well, I understand, and I won't keep you waiting anymore."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you don't come. Anyway, seeing you, an idiot, will only make me angry."

The murmurings of a child continued to come from his arms.

Caressing the little fox's face, he gently lifted up the charming face and said, "We must come to God's birthday, okay?"

"Since...since you begged me like this, it's not...impossible to come."

With his face fixed, this little fox still shyly moved his dark eyes, avoiding my sight, and said coquettishly.

Well, that's enough.

I lowered my head and kissed the girl's bright red lips.

"Hmm~~Hmm~~~"

Because of the sudden movement, the little fox's body suddenly stiffened, and then softened and became passive. His slender arms slowly lifted up, hugged my neck, and kissed each other tightly.

In this world of ice and snow, there is nothing but each other.

…

The little fox left after all, and Harrogas and her teammates were waiting for her.

However, this separation is less regretful and more warm and sweet than before.

With the lingering fragrance left by the little fox, I returned to the Cave of Styx to meet with Willas and the others, only to be scolded miserably. It was all because of those red and white striped underwear. It was such a mistake. I originally wanted to He stayed and secretly coaxed the little ghost to put it on to satisfy his desire as an otaku. Unexpectedly, not only was he exposed, but his underwear was also taken away by Cook.

After finally getting over this matter, I originally thought that I would be able to practice with peace of mind in the future, and headed towards my second goal - to bring five girls to level 40. However, a few days after the little fox left, Harold failed. There was a message from Gass.

That was when we were fighting a group of Styx temptresses in the Styx Cave. Suddenly, an alarm sounded loudly in our arms, which startled everyone. The gold brick slab in the little ghost's hand that was about to be thrown at the monster was also hit. This loud alarm made my hands slip in fright, and it was thrown towards me.

With a whoosh like a cannonball, the golden meteor narrowly missed the edge of his face. The sharp edges specially made to enhance the attack power left two red marks on his face.

"..."

Wiping the cold sweat on my forehead, it was the first time that I deeply realized how miserable and painful the monsters hit by the gold bricks were.

"Xiao Fan, what happened? Could it be that those damn Zenith stars came to attack us again?"

With a nonchalant look on his face, he hid the recycled gold bricks behind his back. The little ghost was like a captain who had received an alarm, pacing quickly and majestically towards this side with his hands behind his back. His expression was calm and full of fear of death.

"Don't think that I will let you go."

My face suddenly straightened up, as if I was really infected by the atmosphere created by the little ghost and entered the cosmic war mode. When she came over, I exposed my claws, pinched both sides of her face and started rubbing it.

Really, the hand slipping was intentional, right? I was obviously standing at a 12-degree angle to the target monster. Can anyone teach me how to make a throw at this angle with my hand slipping?

After severely punishing the little ghost, I saw that everyone had quickly eliminated the monsters and they all came together. I didn't want to lose my appetite. After untying my cloak, I grabbed my chest and pulled it to both sides, revealing a red heart that was constantly flashing on my chest. Light, a diamond-shaped pendant gem that emits an alarm sound of "ding-dong-dong-dong-".

"Wow!! Xiaofan is almost out of energy."

Rubbing his sore face, the little ghost exclaimed.

You sister has no energy! Am I a fast shooter like Ao [Beep] Man? ! !

I glared at the little ghost, although when I took it as an alarm, there was indeed a hint of malice in it...

"This is Harrogas, a message from Grandma Mara."

"That means...the training is about to end?"

The Gorilla scratched his head in confusion and gave the answer that no one was willing to ask.

"That should be correct. I'm sorry, everyone."

The apologetic eyes passed over the faces of Vilas, Sarah, Linya and Princess Sanwu one by one, and finally fell on the Gaut couple.

"Thank you both so much this time."

"What are you talking about? You are still saying such polite things now."

Laughing loudly, Gott's strong orangutan arms grabbed my shoulders and shook me vigorously.

"If you really feel sorry, just join our team. With your joining Wu, our team will definitely be able to become an epic and last forever."

"No, I don't want that kind of epic."

Thinking of the consequences, hundreds of years later, the history books will write that on a certain day of a certain year, the great hero Druid Wu Fan followed the trend of the times and joined the animal army. From then on, together with three other people, he began his business of selling morals. My career as a comedian has become a good story and has been compiled into countless poems that will be passed down forever. My teeth are chattering.

This isn't an epic, it's a curse.

"It's time to say goodbye to that temporary home too."

Karina murmured to herself rather sadly. It seemed that just as Gaut said, although she looked like a gentle and mature woman with the qualities of a tigress, she was extremely soft on the inside. It would not be an exaggeration to call her sentimental.

"Why don't you go back and take a look and seal the hole. Maybe it can be used in the future. What do you think? If you are in a hurry, why don't you go back first."

Seeing his wife's appearance, Gaut naturally wanted to step forward.

"No rush, let's go together."

I imagined that the place was not far from the Cave of the Styx, and it was within this time. I nodded, and the eight of us returned to the ice cave where we had stayed for nearly a month. After tidying up the inside, we used stones to secure it. The entrance to the cave is sealed and conspicuous signs have been left. Not only will we be able to find it easily when we come back in the future, but adventurers passing by will also be able to easily discover the instructions we left and use this place as a temporary place to stay. The place.

Those training places all over the five major regions, caves, cellars, ancient tombs, forests, mountains, deserts - even hiding places that exist in ghost places like the Styx Cave, this is how they came about. The previous generation filled them with these The place of memories is left to the next generation, generation after generation, and every hiding place has a story.

After everything last night, we opened the scroll to return to the city and returned to Harrogath.

As soon as she walked out of the teleportation station, Grandma Mara walked up to her with a cane in the light snow and cold wind.

"Dear Wu, I'm really worried that the signal can't be transmitted to you."

"Probably not, this is Farah's pride... eh.

No...it's precisely because it was made by that stingy man that Grandma Mara is worried. I understand, okay.

"Anyway, it's good that you are back. Let Akara tell you the specific situation."

While chatting, the group of people hurriedly came to the long-distance teleportation array of the Mage Guild.

"Wu, I'm old and can't help anymore. I'll leave the alliance to you."

When I stepped onto the teleportation array and the light of magic lit up, Grandma Mala looked at me with gentle and profound eyes, filled with deep pleading and sustenance.

After a pause, I raised my arms and grinned.

"Grandma Mara, just look at me!"

The other party’s pleased smile flashed across our faces, and the next moment, we were surrounded by white light and returned to Rogge Camp.

"Finally home."

Vilas and Sarah, who have been living in Rogge Camp, couldn't help but smile at ease when they felt the unique grassland wind blowing. This was their real home.

"Vilas, you guys go home first. I'll go to Grandma Akara's place first. Gorilla and sister Lina are there. Grandma Akara will probably have some tasks for you, so let's go together."

Seeing the soldiers arranged by Akara coming from the opposite side, I said this, and the Gauts nodded, so everyone divided into two groups, five girls... no, four. The little ghost took advantage of me not paying attention and slithered away with a stab. Got into the necklace.

The four girls returned home first. I took the little ghost with me, followed by the Gaut couple. After receiving the summons from the soldiers, we came to Akara's tent.

"Grandma Akara, I'm back."

Opening the tent, Kane and Akara, the two actual people in charge, were inside. As for old man Farah, just ignore it. He glanced around and saw that the old drunkard was not there. Was he sent out due to lack of manpower?

"Gault, Karina, please sit down too. I have something to ask of you here, and I hope you can help me."

"Where, Great Elder Akara just gives orders."

Flattered, he took a glass of refreshing water from Akara and sat down. Probably because the situation was urgent, Akara didn't waste any time and directly proposed to let the Gauts take over the duties of the old drunkard temporarily. In this way, finally It was confirmed that the old drunkard who had stayed in the camp for many years and refused to leave finally went on a business trip with his lunch box.

In fact, under the irresponsible management of the old drunkard, the entire soldier system (external) of Camp Rogge can function normally even without her... No, maybe it will run more smoothly, but no matter what, there must be something There are two masters who can control the situation, so the task of the Gauts is not heavy. As long as they don't go around buying wine on credit like old drunkards, they can just walk the dog or raise birds in the camp.

After briefly explaining some relevant content, Akara replaced several soldier captains and led the Gaut couple on an on-site inspection and practice.

There were only me, Akara, Kane and the dozing old man Farah left in the tent, probably about to get down to business.

"Wu, how's it going? Is the training going well?"

At this time, Akara took a sip of the refreshing water without any haste, with a leisurely expression.

"Well, there really was a little accident. I'll tell you about it later."

After hearing what I said, the other three looked calm, and I couldn't help but scratch my head.

Thanks to his trouble-attracting physique, he seemed to be able to stir up something every time he went out, so that the three of them had become accustomed to it.
