Chapter 172 Former Companions
The mother and daughter continued to talk for a while.
Finally, Ladi asked: "Mom, are you ready for the things I mentioned in the letter?"
The things she mentioned in the letter meant that she was going to take over Xie La went to the northwest bay to live together.
"Oh~ I'm ready, but when I think of leaving the place where I have lived for so many years, I feel very reluctant to leave. Your father and I..."
Seeing the sadness on her mother's face made La Di feel sad.
"I'm sorry, it was all me who caused you..."
The woman immediately interrupted her and hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, "What stupid words are you talking about? It’s all the damn church’s fault.”
Even though she felt reluctant to let go, she chose to always be by her daughter’s side, especially during this special period.
"I saw a new waiter was hired in the store, she..."
"The child's name is Lisa, and she is a poor orphan. I have talked with her, and she is willing to come with us to the Northwest Bay."
"That's great, you can continue to open a restaurant there' Feilongting', I believe your cooking skills will be very popular."
Xie La then showed a smile.
"I hope so. Do you think it's safe there? I mean your other identity."
La Di said hesitantly: "I told you, don't blame me. Count Lyman already...already...knows that I am a mage."
"What?"
The woman's face was full of shock.
"You stupid kid, why are you so careless? What if he sells you to the church?"
La Di hurriedly explained: "The situation was urgent and I had to use Magic. Don't worry, the count is not that kind of person. He has no discrimination against magic and mages, and he has a certain influence on the church personnel in his territory."
She thought of being sent to a monastery by Paul. Father Morris, the deputy dean, didn't know how he was doing.
After listening to her daughter tell the story of how her identity was exposed and Earl Grayman’s attitude towards her, Sierra said with a solemn expression:
“I hope he really doesn’t have any bad intentions, but after all, people’s hearts are separated from each other. "Be careful."
The mother and daughter continued talking for about half an hour, and Ladi suddenly asked:
"Mom, do you know about Meru and the others?"< br>
“Are you your former companions in the adventure group? They often visited me during your absence. They even came to the store to have dinner a few days ago. Now I don’t know if they are out on missions. .”
"I'm going to the Adventurer's Guild to inquire."
"Don't worry, Ladi..."
The woman looked at her daughter with distress, stretched out her hand and gently stroked her face.
“Looking at you, you probably haven’t rested for a long time. It’s better to take a nap first.”
The female consultant suddenly relaxed because she returned to her familiar home. When I got down, my mother said this, and I suddenly felt tired.
"Okay, I do want to sleep for a while. Ah...I have to take a shower first."
Due to the water shortage on the ship, she has not taken a shower for several days, even if there is a chance to take a shower, Also wash your body with sea water first, and then use a small amount of fresh water to wash away the sea water from your body.
She blushed a little when she thought that her mother saw her not taking a shower for several days.
She is now eager to soak herself in a full hot tub and have a good "luxury".
“Haha!”
Xie La teased her daughter a few words.
"Just sit here and have a good rest. I will prepare hot water for my good daughter now."
......
Soaking comfortably. After a hot bath, Ladi slept until 2 p.m. when she woke up. She found that her mother and the waitress named Lisa had not eaten lunch, apparently waiting for her to wake up and eat together.
“Really, you can just eat first.”
Although she scolded her, she felt warm in her heart.
The table was filled with her favorite meals, all prepared for her by her mother, Xie Laxian.
After enjoying a feast full of family happiness, the female consultant bid farewell to her mother and walked towards the Adventurer's Guild in the city. Arriving at the entrance of the guild, the familiar door made her sigh. Messiah Adventurer Guild—she was an adventurer belonging to this guild a few months ago, but now she has become a lord thousands of miles away. consultant.
“Am I now what some of my colleagues in the past called a ‘noble’s minion’?”
She asked self-deprecatingly in her mind, and reached out to push open the guild door.
"Hey! Isn't that Miss Ladi?"
"Oh? It is indeed Ladi from Leachman!"
The female consultant changed into a new suit She was quickly recognized by the adventurers sitting in the hall due to the clothes she often wore.
“I heard that she is no longer an adventurer and has taken a new job in Aldo in the north.”
"Really? Miss Ladi is a flower in our guild. It's such a pity."
"Ugh, I feel heartbroken when I think about taking advantage of Aldo."
< br>"Shut up, isn't she back?"
Most people were whispering, because Ladi had a relatively calm personality before and did not easily talk to people outside the Leachman Adventure Group. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, he was a bit "cold", and there was no situation where a large group of people came up to ask for help.
However, some people greeted her one after another. These were people who had cooperated with the Leachman Adventure Group before and were familiar with each other.
Ladi responded to them one by one.
"Ah! Miss Ladi, it's been such a long time!"
The counter girl held her hands in front of her chest and looked at her excitedly.
"It's true that I haven't been back for a while."
Ladi exchanged greetings with the lady at the counter and asked, "Are Meru and the others here?"
"Everyone from the Leachman Adventure Group is on a mission! But today they can..."
"Ah——"
At this moment, a scream sounded at the door!
The female consultant's heart immediately surged with excitement. She was extremely familiar with this voice.
“La Di!”
"Meru!"
The two girls hugged each other tightly.
Meru was accompanied by Dean and other members of the group, and they stepped forward to say hello to La Di one by one.
Everyone found a secluded place and chatted happily.
“When did you come back?”
"Just this morning, I went back home first."
Meru showed a look of reluctance.
"When you come back this time, you should be here to pick up Aunt Xie La, right?"
The female consultant nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, my mother lives here alone. I’m really worried.”
“Let’s go, the sooner the better. You don’t know, the church recently...”
Dean on the side immediately pulled the leader's sleeve and made a silencing gesture to her.
Everyone's heart was instantly covered with a dark cloud.
Seeing that the atmosphere became dull, another member of the group, Kai, smiled and said: "This is a rare reunion. Don't look bitter, everyone. It's so ugly! Let's find a place to have a good meal. Celebrate!”
When it comes to eating, everyone’s atmosphere becomes lively again.
“Do you still need to look for it? Isn’t Feilong Pavilion ready-made?”
"Yes, yes, I must taste Aunt Xie La's cooking skills before she moves out."
"Haha, welcome!"
The female consultant decided to have a good time I cherish this brief reunion.
Thanks to "Zartoo" for the tip!
