[You were faking it too?! So you don't need to meow like a cat to talk!!]
The crow got even angrier and jumped around even more wildly.
I'm speechless at how reliable it is.
Is this the focus right now? Shouldn't we be concerned about other things?
What's the point of caring if it speaks fluently?
Unable to resist, Kaopu stretched out his claws and punched Abao on the head.
Don't let Po's winged nature and agility fool you; he's no match for Reliability!
Smashed and seeing stars, Abao finally lay down obediently on the ground, but that didn't stop it from hissing indignantly.
[You can all speak, but I can't! Fier doesn't even understand what I'm saying!!]
Ah Bao's beady eyes were practically brimming with tears; it wanted to speak too! It wanted others to understand what it was saying!
This was the first time I'd ever seen a crow howl like that. Perhaps it stirred up the little bit of sympathy that Reliable could muster, because it couldn't help but say, "Alright, stop howling. Once we find Xu Ling and the others, I'll find a way to make you speak, okay?"
The deafening howl abruptly stopped, and excitement welled up in Abao Doudou's eyes: [Really?]
"Of course!" came the reliable promise. "Now, let's go!"
After uttering those words, it shot off like an arrow, "whoosh—"
As soon as Kaopu left, Fei'er immediately followed. However, in the blink of an eye, only Abao, who was still immersed in Kaopu's promise, was left behind.
Gone was the sadness from before. Even though he was now behind, A Bao just let out a cheerful cry and then flapped his wings to catch up.
Great, I can speak human language now!
The crow's little head was filled with excitement.
At this moment, Xu Ling, who still hadn't thought of the reliable one, was taken by Miller to meet the mixed-race elf mother and child.
Perhaps because she had been a bit far from Xu Ling before, and because it had been a while, the mixed-race elf, who was originally able to stand up, couldn't take it anymore and collapsed.
Fortunately, although the half-elf Verna was lying in bed and her face was somewhat pale, she was not as critically ill as before.
She was in good spirits, and even greeted Xu Ling and Miller when they came in. Xu Ling and Miller sat for a while, and once Verna's face regained its usual color, they got up and left.
"By the way, when is your... elf friend arriving?" Miller suddenly asked on the way back.
Xu Ling was completely caught off guard. "This...this..."
She didn't know how to answer!
Who would have thought that they would arrive in Hope City in just one day?
She didn't even have time to inform Emerald!
Of course, she didn't have any points to notify Emerald!
"I thought we wouldn't arrive for at least another month..."
Miller realized that this was his mistake.
As Xu Ling said, at the speed of the carriage, it would indeed take them a month to reach Hope City.
However, he was so eager to complete the task given to him by the God of Light that he not only used magic to increase the speed of the carriage on the way, but also took it upon himself to use the magic circle set up by the Church of Light in the suburbs.
He had intended to send the half-elf away as soon as possible so that they could begin the next step of the process sooner, but he forgot that not only should he think about it, but he should also inform Xu Ling.
Miller looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, it was my mistake. I forgot to inform you beforehand."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ling couldn't help but mutter, "Giving advance notice was useless!"
Even if it had only been a day, and I had told her yesterday, she still wouldn't have been able to notify Emerald immediately!
After all, she's "poor" to death right now!
Miller, ignoring Xu Ling's mutterings, asked again, "So could you please inform your elf friend now and ask her to come over as soon as possible?"
Xu Ling: "...This request is a bit difficult, and I can't inform her right now."
This answer completely surprised Miller.
He was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to find his voice before he asked blankly, "W-why?"
Why so many questions? Didn't I just say that she can't contact them right now?
Xu Ling looked helpless, and patiently repeated, "I don't have it now..."
However, she suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence.
No, no, she seems to have a way to get in touch!
It was at this moment that she finally remembered what she had forgotten—reliability!
Yes! She can still be reliable! Just because she can't contact people doesn't mean she's unreliable!
"Wait—!" A hint of excitement visibly appeared in her eyes. "Maybe I can actually get in touch with her!"
The last syllable was still lingering in the air when Xu Ling turned and left like a gust of wind, giving Miller no chance to ask any questions.
Or perhaps Xu Ling was so engrossed in her own excitement that she completely forgot about Miller's presence beside her.
She's getting ready to find someone reliable!
Not long after she left, Xu Ling reappeared in front of Sisi and April. Before Sisi could even wonder what she had been doing, Xu Ling stood intently in front of April and asked, "April, where are Abao and the others?"
"Huh?" April was taken aback by the question, and it was then that she remembered that Abao seemed to have not returned for a long time.
Without April even needing to answer, Xu Ling could tell from her bewildered expression that they hadn't returned.
Seeing this, Xu Ling couldn't help but frown. "Where have they gone off to? Why haven't they come back yet?!"
What's so fun about the Church of Light? It's just a bit bigger, but aren't all the buildings the same style?
What's there to see?
April swallowed hard. "Could it be... could it be that we forgot to notify them when we came?"
So, are they still in the suburbs?
Now it was Xu Ling's turn to exclaim "Huh?" and look at her in bewilderment.
April blinked: "Since you came back, haven't you met with Kaopu?"
Xu Ling: "...No."
So, they neglected to focus on reliability!
Silence... a long silence...
An awkward atmosphere permeated the three of them.
Seeing that Xu Ling and April remained silent, Sisi couldn't help but break the silence and cautiously asked, "What do we do now?"
what to do?
Of course, we should find a way to bring them back!
But how can we bring those reliable ones back?
Xu Ling and April, both clueless, exchanged a glance and sighed.
Finally, Xu Ling suddenly remembered that she could communicate with Kaopu through telepathy, which finally helped the three Kaopus who were still wandering around in the suburbs find the right direction.
After dark, covered in dust from their journey, Kaopu, Abao, and Feier finally arrived at the Church of Light in Hope City.
Unlike Abao, who nestled into April's arms like a fledgling, Kaopu also ran into Xu Ling's arms, but at the same time, it revealed its sharp claws.
