But Linda didn't notice her gaze, and was discussing something with Isa, chatting and laughing.
Linda wouldn't help her anymore. Leah's face paled as she realized this cold reality.
As she stepped outside, Leah felt her steps falter and her body seemed weightless, swaying from side to side.
"Sigh." A figure in a robe, sitting in a wheelchair, sighed.
"I knew you couldn't do it, luckily I secretly followed you."
Leah looked up absently, startled, and asked, "Ai, Ai, what brings you here?"
"I'm afraid the captain will hang himself from the tree."
The man in the black robe revealed blond hair; it was none other than Eiko, who had a disgruntled expression.
Despite her frequent sarcastic remarks towards Leah, Aiko had developed some feelings for the red-haired dwarf after three years together. Besides, Xueyan genuinely needed that potion.
"I messed up, I didn't get the potion." Leah was a little weak today and didn't try to be tough.
“There’s still a chance,” Aiko said with a mysterious smile.
On a deserted street, Eko and Lia suddenly appeared, the two young ladies blocking the way for the lucky elf boy, Brunei.
"Little brother, there are some things I'd like to discuss with you," Ai Ke said with a gentle smile. However, the night was dark and windy, and she was dressed in a black robe, making her smile chilling.
"What do you want to do! I'm still a chef!" Brunei retreated in terror.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't even look at you, would I?" Ai Ke said with a smile. "The potion is in your hands, isn't it? I'll pay double the price for it."
"You're from the 'Star Engraving Adventure Team,' right? The average level of the team members is 21, and you haven't even cleared the 11th floor yet. By the time you get to the 13th floor, the first kill of the hidden monster will have already been taken by Ice Flower."
“You’ve tried to kill me time and time again, but you still haven’t gotten it. Now, I’m offering 200,000 gold to buy your potion. It’s a sure thing for you.”
Brunei's expression changed repeatedly.
What this older sister said seems to make a lot of sense.
Moreover, if he doesn't sell, something terrible might happen.
Brunei grunted and reluctantly took out the silver potion.
"Aiko, thank you."
After obtaining the potion, on their way back to Xueyan, Liya suddenly said something.
Aiko glanced at her in surprise.
This powder keg can actually express gratitude honestly?
If you had done this sooner... how could Linda have left Xueyan?
On the other hand, it's also thanks to Leah's poor judgment.
Otherwise... Aiko was filled with mixed emotions, and probably no one else would have a chance.
...
...
At that moment, a nearby coffee shop.
This café is considered quite luxurious in the area, with clean floors, tidy small round tables, and a pianist playing soothing music.
A girl with cascading silver hair sat by the window, her cool and beautiful profile attracting the attention of a group of customers in the store.
The girl stared blankly at the young man opposite her: Linda was making final checks on the information of the Ice Flower team members.
After the adventurers left, Linda, at Isa's invitation, came to this café to discuss the strategy for conquering the thirteenth floor.
After returning from Red Peach City, Linda began working on the strategy guide on and off.
Isa's requirement was that there be no deaths or serious injuries, so he didn't have to spend as much time creating a strategy as he did when he was with Xueyan.
Of course, the main reason is that the Ice Flower team has excellent teamwork, more members, and overall stronger strength than the Snow Flower team.
"It could start as early as the day after tomorrow. Is everything alright on your end?"
Linda put away the documents, rubbed her slightly sore temples, and took a sip of the coffee on the table.
Not hearing a reply, Linda asked in surprise, "Miss Isa?"
"ah."
Isa seemed to wake up from a dream, and said somewhat awkwardly, "No problem, we've been preparing for the thirteenth floor, and we've watched a lot of strategy videos."
"Are you hot? Why are you blushing?" Linda felt strange. Last time she dined with Isa, this captain was very composed. Why is she acting like a shy little girl this time?
"Yes, it's a bit hot." Isa drank her coffee to cover her embarrassment, feeling a little uneasy at the thought that the man in front of her might like her.
She casually glanced out the window and asked, "Linda, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Linda was confused. "No, I'm just an old single magician."
"What a coincidence, me too." A faint smile appeared on Isabella's pretty face.
Under the warm yellow lights of the coffee shop at night, a girl in a white trench coat sat opposite, a delicate fragrance wafting from her silver hair.
Linda's heart skipped a beat: Everyone seems to be quite nice.
Whether it's Isa, Monica, Lulu, or Eko... Linda considers them all to be excellent girls.
"If possible, I hope you will join my team and become a member of our family."
Linda said in a joking tone.
There was a bet between them: if the Phoenix Flower climbed higher than the Ice Flower, Isa would have to join his team. Even if he failed to do so within three years, he would still have to keep his promise.
When this was mentioned, Isa became confident, reverting to her beautiful and composed Ice Flower captain, as if making a victory declaration: "Linda, I will make her a member of Ice Flower."
"I'll pass on this sentence to you verbatim," Linda said, shrugging.
Half an hour later, the two finalized the date for starting the strategy: noon the day after tomorrow.
When Linda went to pay the bill at the coffee shop, she took out her savings card, only to find that Isa had already paid in advance.
He waved goodbye to her at the door, thinking to himself, "What a mature girl. Compared to her, Leah seems to be aging in reverse."
