Chapter 471 The Demon Hunter Group is Here
This is an adventure team.
There are humans, dwarves, goblins, and orcs, with humans in the majority, and half each of them being magicians and swordsmen. They are dressed in bright clothes, well-equipped with weapons, and are generally energetic and high-spirited. Walking on the streets of the town, they quickly attracted the attention of local residents.
The two guides moved quickly, ran forward and asked in a flattering manner, while the orcs walking in the front row pushed them rudely.
"Go away, I don't need you. I know this place very well!"
The guide was pushed and almost fell down. When he heard what the orcs said, he curled his lips in annoyance and ran to the side of the road to complain.
"What's going on? Are the adventurers who came these past two days regular customers?"
The tour guide business is not doing well and they haven't been open for a long time.
The adventure group walked to the most luxurious hotel on the street with familiarity.
"Boss, stay in the hotel." The orc shouted in a rough voice.
"Come in, please come in--" The innkeeper had been waiting at the door and respectfully invited the adventurer with a smile on his face.
It turns out that renovating the storefront is beneficial. Look, business is coming to us now.
As the adventurers entered the inn one after another, the residents on the street craned their necks to look, and the owners of other nearby inns were furious.
If I had known earlier, I would have spent money to renovate the storefront.
The noise died down and the streets returned to calm.
Morrissey and Sadler kept their eyes on the adventure group, and only looked away after they all entered the hotel.
"We're lucky," Morrissey said with a smile.
"What?" Sadler asked.
Morrissey pointed to the hotel in the distance with his fork and whispered in Sadler's ear, "I know a few people in this adventure group."
Sadler remained calm. "Oh, which ones?"
Morrissey felt bored when he saw that he had no interest in her at all. He blew air into his wife's ear and was not surprised to be glared at.
"A swordsman, a magician, and an orc," Morrissey answered obediently. "I've teamed up with them before."
Sadler suddenly had an idea and asked, "Are they... from the Demon Hunter Group?"
Morrissey snapped his fingers. "Honey, you're so smart!"
Sadler stood up and straightened his magic robe, which had become a little wrinkled from sitting. "It's time to go back to the hotel."
They were indeed lucky; they hadn't expected the Demon Hunters to arrive so soon. He wondered if any of them were the culprits who persecuted Hector's father.
"Put on your hood," he reminded Morrissey.
Morrissey shrugged. "It's okay. I'm a white elf now. They won't recognize me."
"Put it on," Sadler emphasized. Although his transformation into a white elf had altered his hair and eye color, his facial features remained the same. It was best to be cautious, just in case.
Seeing his wife's stern tone, Morrissey obediently took out his hooded cloak and wrapped himself tightly.
Sadler relaxed his frown and went back to the hotel with Morrissey.
We must tell our teammates as soon as possible that the Demon Hunters are coming to town.
While Shu Li and the Elf King were on a date on the beach, they met a middle-aged woman in her forties who was bending over, picking up various seafood washed up by the waves on the beach.
Maybe she was too focused on picking up the items, she walked closer and closer to the sea. Suddenly, her foot twisted, and she fell forward into the water. At this moment, the waves receded and she was swept into the sea.
"Ah—help—" the woman screamed in panic.
Shu Li cast water magic without hesitation, and the waves stagnated and stopped rippling.
The Elf King chanted a short wind magic at the right time, lifted the woman who fell into the water, away from the sea, and sent her back to the beach.
The woman survived the ordeal and cried for joy. She sat on the dry sand, looked around, and found the young magician standing ten steps away. She knelt down excitedly to express her gratitude.
"Thank you, thank you two kind people!"
Shu Li took a few steps forward, helped her up and said, "Hurry up, we just happened to be passing by and helped."
The woman stared at the handsome and pure boy with her eyes wide open. When she saw the young man behind him, she was even more astonished. She couldn't help but reveal her charming expression and smiled with her hands covering her mouth: "Oh, if I were twenty years younger, I would definitely invite you to my home as 'guests'."
Yes, when the woman was young, she was the most popular prostitute in town and had served many young, promising, handsome and dashing adventurers.
Unfortunately, human life is limited. When she turned 30 and the first wrinkle appeared on her face, her business went from bad to worse.
Now that I’m in my forties, no one cares about me anymore.
He used to spend money recklessly because he was young, but now he is old and lives in poverty.
There was no other way. In order to survive, she could only be self-reliant. She went to the beach every day to pick up seafood and sell it to restaurants in the town in exchange for a meager amount of money.
The seaside is dangerous and you can be swept away by the waves if you are not careful.
If it weren't for these two foreign magicians today, she would probably have been buried in the sea.
Shu Li was horrified by the woman's teasing eyes. He stepped back repeatedly and returned to the Elf King, waving his hands awkwardly: "Well...if you're okay, go home quickly...the tide will be coming in soon."
As a pure little elf, he had never encountered such a straightforward "invitation" and was ashamed.
Seeing the young man blushing with embarrassment, the woman laughed even more happily. After a while, she stopped teasing him and thanked the two kind people again.
Shu Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had returned to normal.
The Elf King reached out and patted Shu Li's head, then looked at the woman with a smile. "Excuse me, do you remember anyone you 'invited'?"
When the woman saw that they knew her identity as a prostitute, she did not show any disdain. She just blinked and smiled: "Of course."
When she was young, she was beautiful and wealthy, and she only invited handsome and wealthy men to spend a wonderful night with her.
A good-looking man is always impressive.
In fact, she also has a habit of making a diary, drawing a picture of every man she has dated, marking their name, age, background, occupation, etc., and then scoring them based on their comprehensive strength.
Those young, handsome and conceited men like to show off when they are in high spirits.
And she only needed to say a few gentle words to find out all their information.
The notebook is very thick. As a "trophy" of her youth, she often takes it out to relive the glory of the past.
So, when the handsome blond young man in front of her asked her if she remembered every "guest", she answered in the affirmative without hesitation.
Shu Li looked at the Elf King in confusion.
Could it be... that he wanted to ask the woman about the Demon Hunter Group?
How coincidental was it that I ran into the prostitute who was about to take over as the captain of the adventure team?
The Elf King gently squeezed Shu Li's hand and asked, "Do you remember the captain of the Apocalypse Star Adventure Team?"
Whether it is or not, you have to try your luck.
Shu Li blinked and looked at the woman, waiting for her answer.
"The captain of the Apocalypse Star Adventure Team..." The woman suddenly slapped her thigh. "I remember! Of course I remember! He's the most generous guest I've ever received!"
He paid a thousand gold coins at once and kept her for a week.
After the transaction, she recorded his information in detail and even drew a full-body picture of him.
Shu Li opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Actually... I met him!
What a coincidence!
When luck comes, nothing can stop it.
He couldn't help but ask: "Can you tell me about him?"
The woman asked, "Do you know each other?"
Shu Li didn't answer. The Elf King remained calm and said, "He's a distant relative of my friend. He hasn't been home for a long time, so his family asked us to find out about him."
He spoke sincerely, so the woman did not suspect anything. Besides, they were her saviors, so she was naturally not on guard.
"I wrote down everything about him in a notebook." She shook off the water on her body and said, "If you don't mind, come home with me..."
"No problem." Shu Li nodded.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "Please follow me."
Shu Li took the Elf King's hand and walked a few steps. He found the wooden barrel overturned on the beach and the seafood scattered all over the ground. He moved his fingers, chanted wind magic, put the seafood back into the wooden barrel, and then brought it to the woman.
"Don't forget to bring this," he reminded.
The woman excitedly picked up the barrel and thanked the honorable magician again.
She has lived in the small town for more than forty years and has met countless magicians who came to the Valley of the Wind for adventure. They all looked down on ordinary people struggling at the bottom.
The two magicians she met today not only saved her life, but also helped her retrieve the wooden barrels and seafood. It was incredible.
There was a trace of wariness in my heart, but now it disappeared without a trace.
Her special job has trained her to read people's expressions, and she doesn't believe a word the blond man says.
However, this did not stop her from repaying them.
Twenty minutes later, Shu Li and the Elf King got two pieces of paper torn from the notebook.
There was a picture of a handsome swordsman on one piece of paper, and another piece of paper was filled with the swordsman's personal information.
Shu Li admired the woman very much.
Her painting skills are very exquisite. She captures the charm of the person with just a few strokes and draws the swordsman vividly, with not only full-body pictures but also close-ups of the face.
And her ability to gather information is extraordinary.
The piece of paper covered with words recorded the swordsman's name, age, nationality, hobbies, etc., and even the words he said to her were recorded word for word.
"Aren't you interested in being a painter?" Shu Li asked the woman seriously.
"Me? A painter?" The woman laughed. "I just paint casually. I can't be considered a painter. Besides, with my gender and status, how can I be qualified to be a painter?"
"A hero's origins are not judged," Shu Li said. "As long as you have the determination, you can do whatever you want. Whether you're a painter or a writer, you're qualified."
The woman was stunned.
No one had ever told her these words.
The world is unfair. People at the bottom who want to climb up have to pay countless prices and dignity.
Even if you climb to a certain high position, you will still be criticized because of your shameful past.
In the eyes of the upper class, she is worthless and filthy.
She had no expectations for the future and lived her life in a muddle, waiting for the day when she would run out of money to eat and her family would starve to death.
Now, someone actually told her that she was talented and qualified to do whatever she wanted.
A flame of hope suddenly ignited in the woman's eyes.
"Thank you for your advice. I'll consider it carefully." She smoothed her hair at the temples. "My name is Jenny, Jenny Lehman."
Shu Li put away the two pieces of paper and introduced herself with a smile: "My name is Sperian, and he is my boyfriend, Estelle."
When Jenny heard the word "boyfriend", a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and soon she smiled and said, "Bless you."
"Thank you." Shu Li took the Elf King's hand and said goodbye to her.
Jenny stood in front of her yard and watched the magician leave.
In the setting sun, the backs of the two people seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, so shining, bright and beautiful.
