As she was about to leave the Adventurers' Guild, Lia seemed to remember something and muttered to herself, "I got a new two-winged blackblood horse today. It runs so fast! It only cost me a mere three thousand gold coins to buy it."
After saying all this, he strode away.
Linda was completely speechless.
The two-winged blackblood horse is nice, but not enough to make him envious.
Just as he was about to step away, a strong right hand landed on his shoulder.
"Linda, our team's carriage is outside, shall we come together?"
Looking back, there was Oru with short blond hair, a square face, and an honest and simple air about him.
As the front-line member of the Snow Goose Adventure Team, Oru's level and skills are inferior to Chrona's, and he often needs Linda's healing spells to support him.
When you work side by side for a long time, you naturally become friends.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Linda."
Kaine stepped out from behind Oru and greeted him with a smile.
"good afternoon."
After exchanging greetings, Linda shook her head at Oru and said, "You can take the carriage back, I don't need to."
Orlu lowered his voice: "It's alright, the captain is in a good mood today. Just say a few nice words and she'll let you come back. Kaine, Miss Eko, and I all support you."
Linda smiled but offered no explanation.
He has made up his mind to build his own team.
Although it was a pity that he could no longer fight alongside Oru and the others, it did not shake his resolve.
“Mr. Linda, the adventure team really can’t do without you,” Kaine tried to persuade him.
Linda still shook her head.
“Linda…”
"You don't care about Leah, so don't you care about me either?"
A gentle voice came from behind.
“Eiko”.
Linda stopped and looked at the mage in the wheelchair with surprise.
The other person looked haggard, their brilliant blond hair seemed to have lost its luster, and their eyes flickered with a fragile light.
So she cares about me that much?
Linda thought that getting a few words of persuasion to stay would be a good deal, but seeing Ai Ke's appearance, she felt a little guilty.
Kaine and Oru also looked at him with hopeful eyes.
Linda was filled with mixed emotions.
It seems that apart from Lia and that immature little guy, the others in the team acknowledge his efforts in the Snow Goose Adventure Team.
Three years is not a complete waste.
"Linda, everyone except Leah wants you to come back. How can you bear to abandon us?"
"Ike said pitifully."
She was wearing a pure white dress, her left hand tightly clutching her chest.
The neckline of her clothes was pulled down, revealing her delicate collarbone, and her almost pale skin evoked pity.
Coupled with Aiko's furrowed brows and tearful appearance, her weak pleading voice was like a small brush rubbing against people's hearts, and even the most determined person could not help but waver.
Furthermore, Eiko's words had another layer of meaning.
Apart from Leah, no one else has offended you. If you don't come back, that means abandoning your old teammates, which is unrighteous and heartless.
In just a few words, he placed himself on a moral high ground to put pressure on Linda.
When Ai Ke saw the troubled look on Linda's face, the little devil in her heart seemed to wag its tail.
That useless Leah is no good at all; we still need her.
"Linda, come back. Don't you miss everyone? I haven't been able to sleep well since you left."
Aiko's big eyes were filled with tears, and she held her hands tightly in front of her chest as if in prayer.
The outline suddenly appeared in front of her, and the amazing sight made Linda's eyelids twitch.
"Mind your image."
Linda coughed and stood in front of Aiko.
Little did he know that his actions had completely fallen into Ike's trap.
As soon as he approached, Ai Ke threw herself into his arms and pressed her entire frail body against him.
The aroma is wonderful.
Aiko's body was so supple and boneless that even touching her through her clothes was a pleasure.
But Lin Da was completely numb.
The flashes of the magic cameras around them clicked.
His arms were outstretched, unsure whether to hug or not.
This photo will definitely appear in tomorrow's newspaper.
Being single is one thing, but isn't Ai Ke afraid of being misunderstood as having that kind of relationship with him?
If Aiko were to be maliciously misunderstood by those newspaper reporters, it would damage her reputation.
Linda looked at her hand, frozen in mid-air, then at Aiko's delicate back beneath her dress, and her face turned ashen.
Ai Ke was thinking:
How does it feel to be in a place that hasn't been touched in three years?
You got off easy.
She composed herself, making her voice sound like she was crying.
"Waaaaah, Linda, have you forgotten? When we were in the team, it was always me who brought you hot coffee to your room every night."
"When you're tired, I'll massage your shoulders... Sometimes when you're hungry, I'll cook you a late-night snack myself..."
Whether it's sending coffee or giving a massage, it's all to help Linda stay up all night and finish the strategy quickly.
Cooking is just a pretense; I'll just reheat the leftovers and it'll be a late-night snack. The taste might be worse, but it's not her eating it anyway.
"When Leah is mean to you, I always take your side!"
This is because Eko wants Linda to depend on her and become a toy that she can use at will.
So every time Lia and Linda argue, Eko is very happy, as she can appear in front of Linda like a timely help, gaining a lot of goodwill.
At this moment, Ai Ke tightly hugged Lin Da's waist with both hands, her eyes reddened, and she made a soft, whimpering sound.
She could clearly feel that something had flattened.
Not wearing it would be a fatal blow.
That's a bit of a pity.
Ai Ke thought regretfully.
"I know everything you're talking about."
Linda sighed, and finally lowered her hands, giving the aggrieved young mage a polite, comforting hug.
Calm Aiko down as soon as possible and help her regain her composure.
That's what Linda thought.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached out, Ai Ke seemed to be glued to his arm, clinging to it and refusing to let go, and started shedding tiny pearls on it.
"Linda, the person who cares about you the most in the team is actually me, don't you understand? Waaaaah!"
The girl's fragile cries echoed throughout the hall.
The pain is in my eyes, the wound is in my heart.
The crowd fell silent, deeply moved by Aiko's heartfelt expression.
They even imagined a scene where Leah and Linda used to get along well, while Eko hid outside the door, heartbroken.
Now that Lia has been kicked out, this mage lady dares to express her feelings.
Everything she did was for the sake of her 'friendship' with Leah; she didn't want Leah to be hurt, which is why she didn't interfere.
Even today.
After giving up, Lia boldly and humbly sobbed in Linda's arms.
What a gentle and kind girl!
Some adventurers were so moved that sand got into their eyes, and they looked up at the ceiling.
