Diablo Destruction

There is a cute little fox who is specifically against him, Tia and Sara who sigh and act coquettishly from time to time, and Arturia who is curious about many things, so she is not lonely along the way.

Although wearing an animal mask is very childish and makes people think that this is an animal team fighting monsters, but if you keep your face covered, you don't have to worry about others secretly pointing and whispering. Anyway, the mask will be on later. If you take it off, no one will recognize it.

I finally understand why those supermen, teams, etc. have to wear masks and even get all the exaggerated outfits. I see, that’s it, huh huh.

Coming to the conclusion that I took for granted, I couldn't help but feel happy and take bigger steps.

However, I apparently forgot one thing.

Both he and Arturia have physiques that attract trouble.

Putting two identical physiques together is no longer as simple as one plus one, and now they are still in the most densely populated trade market with the highest probability of triggering events.

So, just when we got carried away, a bifurcation point appeared at the intersection ahead.

The dull golden hair on Artoria's forehead turned strangely a few times like a ticking radar emitting electronic sounds, and then pointed to the left as if she suddenly discovered something.

And almost at the same time, my manly seventh sense, which has always been extremely accurate, suddenly sounded a thunderous thunder in the sea of ​​​​consciousness. Just like a Taoist enlightenment, my whole body suddenly shook, and then I looked up to the right.

"Why don't we go over here and take a look."

"Why don't we go over here and take a look."

Pointing in completely opposite directions, Artoria's and mine's voices sounded at the same time.

Then, before each of us could turn around and try to convince the other with our own reasons, two cries came from the directions pointed on both sides of us at the same time.

“Unjustly accused~~”

On the street to the left where Arturia was pointing, the heart-rending cry of an old woman rang out as if out of thin air at the moment she pointed.

I saw a middle-aged woman wearing white clothes, white trousers and a white scarf, holding the body of a middle-aged man in her belly and crying loudly. From time to time, she would reach out and raise unknown white powder into the air, like It was falling like snowflakes, it was really that June snow, so strange and unfair.

"It's unjust~~My poor husband was killed by that damn noble. Who will make the decision for me? Without the backbone of the family, how will we, orphans and widows, live in the future? Ahh~~~Everyone Sir, please be kind and make the decision for me..."

When Arturia heard this, her heroic eyebrows suddenly rose.

"Although it is not a matter of my elven clan, since I have seen it, there is no reason to ignore it."

Saying this, she habitually grabbed her waist, then stepped forward to lend a helping hand.

With a "pop" sound, I patted Artoria's shoulder and stopped her in her tracks.

Arturia turned back, and even through the lion mask, I could still imagine the confused expression she was looking at me.

He shook his head with a wry smile, then looked around for a few times. Seeing a group of patrolling soldiers passing by, he quickly stopped him. After revealing his identity, he pointed at the woman in the awe-stricken eyes of the soldiers, who was leading the group. The soldier captain whispered a few words into his ear, he nodded understandingly, and led a small group of soldiers over to solve the problem.

Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, another shrill cry came from behind me on the street to the right where I just pointed.

"My poor son, where have you been? You haven't been back for almost half a year. I think you are thinking so hard~~~"

I stiffly turned my neck and saw an old man in his seventies, sitting on the side of the road with tears streaming down his face. The look of the white-haired man giving the black-haired man a gift was heart-wrenching.

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, he immediately begged loudly as if he had found a savior.

"My poor son, he was originally the best hunter on our platform, but since he went to the swamp half a year ago and said he wanted to hunt a king crocodile, he has never come back. Can any kind person help me? Look for my son, take pity on my whole family, they are all eagerly looking forward to his return~~"

Feeling so desperate, the old man's eyes moved around the hundreds of people on the street several times, and finally landed on the five of us, with a pleading look in his eyes.

No... Even if you look at me like this, the swamp is so big. Where can I find it? I'm afraid I'll get lost before I can find it.

"A swamp? It's indeed a bit troublesome. It would be nice if we could lock in a fixed range..."

Looking back, Arturia had already entered the role of helper. She lowered her head and held her chin, and began to twist her golden hair.

In the distance......

"Um...you, come here..."

Pointing to a few other soldiers, I hooked my fingers and asked them softly in their ears.

"Is there any way to help that old man?"

One of the clever soldiers nodded immediately.

"Sir Elder, if the other party is really hunting for the King Crocodile, it is actually not difficult to find it. It must be in the west of the huge wetland. Only the environment there is suitable for dealing with such a scary guy like the King Crocodile. In fact, the Alliance Every month, manpower will be organized to patrol these places in order to find surviving mercenary hunters.”

After a pause, the soldier added.

"However, this kind of full-scale search will inevitably have omissions and time delays. If the elder wants to find the target as soon as possible, it is best to hire the Iron Wolf mercenary group. Although those guys are arrogant, they do have some ability, no matter life or death. , you can find Xin'er within half a month."

"very good......."

I tilted my head and thought for a while, then said to the soldier.

"Can you help me make an announcement in the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group? As a reward, will a piece of high-grade blue equipment be enough?"

"Enough is enough."

The soldier nodded with envy. In Kurast, the only ones with golden equipment were elite adventure teams. A top-grade blue equipment, coupled with the fact that the mission itself was not challenging at all, was enough for those who wanted to steal the gold.

After stuffing more than ten gold coins as payment for running errands, the soldier happily went to work for the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group.

Uh... the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, right? Remember, it's mainly composed of sword mages. The leader of the group, Asila, is also one of the leaders of the alliance in Kurast. I remember the first time I came here. When Kurast visited her, I was shocked. Not only the hot three-point clothes, but the big python wrapped around her neck was also impressive. She was an absolute royal sister-type woman. strongman.

Looking back at Artoria, I couldn't help but sweat when I saw her regretful look. Is this idiot addicted to causing trouble? I feel like I’m not busy enough.

I think it is necessary to remind her that as the king of a clan, things should be prioritized. You should not sacrifice the life of one or two people for the sake of the small. Although it is a bit cold-blooded, as a leader, this It’s time to learn to make trade-offs.

"Ahem... that... Artoria, just like those just now, can you tell me about the biggest trouble you encountered?"

I once again tried to wake up Artoria using my familiar roundabout route.

Arturia was stunned when she heard this, then fell into deep thought, and then spoke after a moment.

"The most troublesome thing is that it was a long time. Once, I passed by an elf village and accepted a little girl's request to go to the Harrogas Snow Mountain to find a kind of herb called Xitukas. There is only this kind of herb. It was herbal medicine that saved her mother’s life.”

When I heard the word Harrogath, my nerves jumped: "Then what?"

"Then, I immediately returned to the royal city and asked the palace pharmacist."

Fortunately, this idiot was not stupid, and he immediately killed Harrogath without any enthusiasm.

"It turns out that there is no such herb in the royal city, so I went to Harrogas."

"..."

Withdrawing the preface, she is just dumb.

"Harrogas...is indeed a bitter cold place, and I didn't expect that Hitucas grass grows on the edge of the cliff..."

Okay, it's decided, I have officially decided to officially name this attribute that can attract countless troubles in itself, but also likes to rush into it, as the naturally stupid trouble attribute, or the stupid attribute for short.

"I was almost blown into the sky by a blizzard. I was chased by the Snow Dragon, the overlord of the snow-capped mountains. I slipped into a canyon and accidentally ate poisonous herbs. I discovered a kind of creature living in a cave that looked like a human but was covered with white hair. Strange species......"

Well, I can already imagine the grandeur of this drug-seeking journey, which could probably be written into a million-word novel about survival in the snowy mountains.

"It took five days and five nights to finally live up to our mission and find Xitukas."

Artoria clenched her fist and said forcefully.

"Bah bang bang—!"

Everyone applauded in unison, but there seemed to be a drop of embarrassing sweat on the back of everyone's head.

"It's just, Artoria..."

I thought the heat was enough, so I coughed a few times and interrupted everyone's applause.

"Can't you just leave this kind of thing to others? Maybe there are more important things waiting for you to solve. I'm just making an analogy. Maybe during the five days and five nights you went there, something important happened. The matter was not resolved in time, which led to the sacrifice of more tribesmen. Isn’t this a matter of neglecting the fundamental and pursuing the inferior?”

"indeed......"

Arturia gently closed her eyes, thought for a moment, and sighed.

"I have actually thought about this problem before, but in a situation like the one just now, I encountered so many dangers on the Snowy Mountains. If I let ordinary soldiers go, wouldn't I be harming them?"

"..."

No... I feel that those dangers are entirely due to your stupidity. If you let other elf soldiers go, maybe you can have a smooth journey and you can find the herbs and come back in a day or two.

Although I am 99% certain that this is the case, I will not be stupid enough to say it in front of Artoria, otherwise the lion behind her will definitely appear again.

"So after thinking about it, I still feel..."

Arturia's expression straightened and she said with great certainty.

"I still feel that this situation is caused by my lack of ability."

"..."

If you are not capable enough like this, those geniuses will burst into tears...

"However, this is not something that can be solved immediately, so I thought of a compromise."

As she spoke, Artoria made a motion to retrieve something, and then solemnly held out a crystal ball flashing with magic runes, displaying it in front of us.

"This is the teleportation crystal that Grandma Yalandlan asked the elf mage to make for me. It can teleport some small things, so that no matter when and where, I can handle those urgent documents without wasting time."

"..."

You have worked hard, Yalande and the Elf Mages, you have also worked hard. Thank you for taking care of my stupid wife who has no brains.

Seeing Arturia blaming everything on her own abilities, and working hard, I couldn't help but feel admiration.

It's not that Artoria is not good at using talents rationally and achieving twice the result with half the effort, but she wants to use this to constantly remind herself of her shortcomings and encourage and spur herself to continue working hard.

It is precisely because of this kind of enthusiasm and persistence that Arturia was able to become the supreme king of the elves at such a young age, and gain prestige and popularity that rivaled the spiritual leader Arlandan.

I am really too stupid. I can see it myself. A wise person like Arlandan must have discovered it a long time ago. Why didn't she stand up and persuade Artoria? She was probably aware of this, so she suppressed her heartache and watched in silence as Arturia forced herself to work hard alone. This was the lonely path of exploration to become a king, and no one could help her.

Not only me, but also Sarah and Linya, even those who are as confident as a little fox couldn’t help but show a hint of admiration. She considers herself as the leader of the fox people, and she has always been down-to-earth and working hard to make the fox people live safely. After the most brutal winter, things are already quite good, but now compared with Artoria, they are still far behind. This kind of silly cuteness, but also strong and cute persistence and hard work, there is only one person in the world. Arturia can own it alone.

Forget it, Arland didn't even say anything. Even though I felt distressed, I could only let Arturia go about her mischief. I hope this idiot will soon realize that people will always have power when they are poor.

But, at least for today, I couldn't let these troubles interrupt our honeymoon.

Thinking of this, I waved my hand and pointed to the road ahead.

There are traps on both sides, so just go straight ahead.

"My grandson, my sweet grandson, ran to the dock to play in the past two months. I don't know which big ship he got on. Now he may have been taken to Lu Gaoyin. Can anyone help me? Old Bones, look for my poor grandson~~"

An old man with gray hair, holding a cane with gurgling hands, and seemingly half of his body buried in the loess, kept crying over and over again in a weak and trembling voice.

"Let the Mages Guild notify Lu Gaoyin to see if they can find this child. If they find it, ask them to send it back via a remote teleportation station. I will pay for it."

I was well prepared and took a group of soldiers with me. I looked from a distance for a moment and said to one of the soldiers.

"Sell yourself to bury your father~~"

A pretty girl with a pretty face knelt beside her father's body and cried incessantly.

"You~~, go give her this generation of gold coins."

I looked away in silence again, and then threw a large bag of gold coins into the hands of the youngest and honest soldier in the team next to me, who seemed to be unmarried.

The young soldier handed the gold coin bag to the poor girl. The girl was stunned for a moment, then immediately hugged the other person's thigh with tears of gratitude and cried loudly, and said firmly at the same time.

"Thank you, my benefactor. From now on, even if I am a cow, a horse, a slave, I will have no complaints."

Her resolute attitude of repaying kindness to others made people believe that as long as the soldier showed a little hesitation, she would definitely die to realize her ambition.

Ah~~, what a wonderful relationship, I thought as I looked at the red-faced and overwhelmed soldier.

As I expected, luckily I didn't go to give it in person. Otherwise, I would have to be stared at by the murderous gaze of the little fox and the resentful gaze of baby Sarah?

That big bag of gold coins was more than enough for the girl to bury her father, and the rest should be regarded as a wedding gift for the two of them. It was enough for an ordinary family to live for several years, hmm.

"boom--!!"

Not far away, there was a sudden explosion, and fire suddenly burst into the sky at the dock warehouse.

"Fire, put out the fire quickly!!"

The shouts of the sailors suddenly became chaotic.

This is simple. The druid's polar storm should be able to extinguish the fire quickly. I thought to myself that I had just taken a step forward and suddenly stopped.

No, how can it be solved so easily? There must be follow-up tasks, there must be something right.

Sure enough, before I could react, there seemed to be an ice mage on the other side of the dock. The fire was quickly extinguished, and then there was the sharp cry of the businessman.

"Oh, medicinal materials, my medicinal materials, this is the main medicine that can save the whole village. It can only be picked [on the snowy cliffs of Harrogas]. It's irreplaceable. It's over. It's really over this time." .”

Arturia's face suddenly tightened and she looked at me.

"..."

I suddenly felt a sense of guilt in my heart. Was it because Artoria and I were together that these people were so unlucky?

"Go to the merchant and ask what kind of medicine it is, and then go to Old Man Snoopy to have a look. He should have it. If that guy refuses to give it, tell him not to think about researching the next stage of permanent life potion. ”

I ordered a soldier.

"Fan, I was indeed right. You do have the potential to become an excellent king."

Seeing that I handled everything in an orderly manner, Artoria nodded happily and made a conclusion.

No...it's just because I have the same trouble-attracting physique as you. The difference is that you like to do everything by yourself, while I just use lip service. It's just the ability that I have developed over a long period of time. Compared with you , there is really nothing worth praising.

After hearing Arturia say that I have the qualifications to become an "excellent king", Sarah looked proud of me, but the little fox couldn't help laughing, so I complained to myself feebly.

"Uuuu, uncle, uncle, where am I? There is obviously a desert near my home. Where is this place? Uuuu, I'm so scared. Who can help me..."

After a while, another child cried.

Ahhhhhh~~~, I really have had enough! !
