When Gail finished speaking, a chorus of applause erupted, and Linda was also praised by the crowd, who looked at her with a newfound respect.
She is capable of creating strategy guides, has a sharp mind, and is courageous enough to risk entering the Breeze River Beach to help the White Dove Adventure Team.
Linda quickly gained the favor of many female adventurers.
However, when those people came to offer toasts and try to get closer to her, Lulu stood in front of Linda with a sullen face, the skin around her nose wrinkling up like a snow wolf howling and warning its enemies.
Linda thought Lulu was shielding her from drinking and felt grateful.
Actually, no, Lulu did not warn the male adventurer about his approach.
Isa, who was standing nearby, and Eko, who was in the distance, both understood what was happening and nervously held their breath.
Fortunately, werewolves are rather arrogant and will not take the initiative to attack.
For a short time, they are still on the same starting line.
"You have the eye of true insight, and you deserve the praise of being both learned and skilled in martial arts. Linda, I toast to you."
The valiant captain, Robert, sporting a brown afro, raised his large ale mug and downed it in one gulp.
Linda smiled and said, "Captain Roberts is also incredibly powerful and admirable."
"Captain Linda, I'd also like to toast you!"
"Me too."
"drink!"
Everyone enthusiastically gathered around, and Linda was overwhelmed with the invitations, so she simply raised her glass along with them.
"I'd like to offer you a toast as well." Lia led Xueyan's team members over.
The girl's cheeks were flushed with intoxication, and her eyes were fixed on Linda. The ale in her glass was overflowing.
Linda nodded: "Let's do it."
“Let’s do it.” Leah said earnestly, as if it were some kind of ritual.
As the captain of Xueyan, she acknowledged Linda Luanweihua's identity as the captain.
The two are now of equal status.
She no longer regarded Linda as a stupid old team member who was holding Xueyan back.
Amidst laughter and cheers, the celebration banquet came to a close late at night.
The adventurers left one after another.
On the street.
"Ugh... Ugh..."
Eko, who couldn't hold her liquor, vomited on Leah's back.
"Why hasn't your alcohol tolerance increased at all in three years?!"
Leah didn't angrily throw Ike down. Instead, she pinched her nose, frowned, and said, "This is so lame after just one glass of ale!"
"You...it's been three years, and you haven't grown any bigger than a bear?"
"Huh!? Believe me or not, I'll throw you away!"
Leah was furious.
She wondered why Aiko was growing so fast, while she seemed frozen, not even as big as a beer glass.
Eko rested her cheek on Leah's shoulder. The girl's chatter and the chaotic conversations of the adventurers on the street mingled together, like a less-than-pleasant lullaby. Eko's thoughts drifted away.
She recalled the celebration banquet where Linda was surrounded by Isa and many other girls from the adventure team, like a group of green sows vying for her attention.
What a bunch of shameless, slutty bastards!
"Zhuo Ai, I miss Zhuo Ai so much... Why am I already over twenty and still haven't had a Zhuo Ai...?"
As the alcohol took effect, tears welled up in Ai Ke's eyes, and the wild and inappropriate words he uttered left his teammates speechless.
Lia shuddered and almost dropped Eko on the ground.
"What are you saying?!"
"How shameless!"
"Wait—you're not fantasizing about Linda, are you?"
Leah's expression shifted repeatedly, a mixture of shame, anger, and shock. Didn't Aiko say before that she had no feelings for Linda? Why does she want to be with Linda...?
As a swordswoman single-mindedly focused on becoming stronger, Lia has always prioritized training since childhood and has never considered such matters.
Hearing Ai Ke's vulgar words, her face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, and her toes clicked shamefully inside her boots.
As the only experienced girl in the group, Kaine, seeing Oru's embarrassed expression, moved closer to Lia, whispered something in her ear with a giggle.
Leah's head seemed to turn into a kettle bubbling with steam, suddenly boiling over. Her eyes became round and blurry with dizziness, and she stammered:
"Very, very comfortable...? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Kay smiled mysteriously, "You'll know once the captain experiences it."
...
Most adventurers returned to their lodgings to rest and recuperate.
The Imperial Knights organized low-level adventurers to collect materials outside the city and to tally the battle achievements of each adventure team.
Mayor Adel has ordered: the statistics must be completed by tomorrow afternoon. The adventurers cannot be disheartened, feeling they've fought so hard only to receive nothing in return.
Those who went to the battlefield were adventurers of level 10 and above, while those below level 10 were significantly more numerous.
Everyone was mobilized, with the ladybugs in the night sky acting as the swordsmen to ensure no adventurer stole materials and put them in their own pockets.
Adel felt he bore an undeniable responsibility for the monster tide and did not give Linda enough attention when she asked him for help.
The upcoming commendation ceremony for military achievements will undoubtedly be a resounding success.
Adel even used his personal connections to apply for a subsidy of 300,000 gold coins for the Phoenix Tail Flower Squad!
Riding a tall, magnificent horse, Adel surveyed the battlefield.
"Everyone, do your job well! All adventurers who come to collect materials tonight will receive triple pay!"
"Oh!"
The adventurers roared with excitement.
