==================
Noticing Lian Yun's serious expression, Lana asked her what was wrong.
"Gerry used the sound transmission note."
And there are only two words: Come back soon.
Grid knew better than her how rare and important these props were, and he wouldn't use them unless necessary.
"Something must have happened." Lian Yun looked at Aibei, who was still smiling foolishly.
"Hey hey! Frog!"
Lian Yun patiently coaxed, "Ai Bei, we should go back."
The 5'8" tall man suddenly slumped to the ground, his hands on his hips, a stubborn look on his face: "No!"
Lian Yun: ...
Lanner spoke to the little frog for a moment and shook his head. "It said there's no way to cure Abe's condition."
Lian Yun frowned slightly. It was obvious that Aibei was not in a good condition, so he had to take special measures.
Half an hour later, Xiaobai returned to the town carrying the unconscious Aibei.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lian Yun touched his own mouse with heartache.
Xiaobai twitched his ears and rubbed Lianyun's palm: "Not tired!"
As his hands rubbed the soft fur, Lian Yun felt inexplicably at ease. He raised his eyes to look at the altar not far away, and his own residents standing in front of the altar, as well as a group of strangers.
Instead of returning to the town from the southwest, they made a big detour to the north and entered the town using the residential area as cover.
After all, there is a large open space in the southwest, which is easy to be discovered.
It's not known how Gerry would handle the emergency, so they'd better act cautiously.
Gary stood in front of the crowd with his back straight. Although he was old, he was able to communicate with the people in front of him in a manner that was not to be underestimated.
Buck and Lina stood beside him, silently guarding him.
He just said a few words, the person opposite nodded, and then Gary turned around and walked away.
Lian Yun took the opportunity to move, and Gary quickly noticed her return and turned around to walk towards her.
"You're back." After entering the hidden alley and coming in front of Lian Yun, Gary visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
He caught a glimpse of the little frog on Lanna's shoulder from the corner of his eye, and although he was confused, he suppressed it for the time being.
Gerry pointed at the people in front of the altar with a serious expression: "The five of them claim to be an adventuring team sent from Kuoge City."
He knew Lian Yunxin was confused, so he continued to explain, "Kuge City is a city at one end of the desert, and it's a second-tier city."
Cities that are directly under the jurisdiction of the main city are called first-level cities, and cities under the jurisdiction of the first-level cities are called second-level cities.
If the area of Bubu Town is recorded, it should be considered a second-tier city.
"What are they doing here?"
It has been less than a month since Bubu Town appeared, and few people usually set foot in the desert.
How did they notice?
Gary looked ashamed: "Sir, we were the ones who contacted him."
Lian Yun: ? ?
But even though she was shocked, she tried to keep her tone calm: "Are you unhappy living here?"
"No, my lord."
Gerry realized he had made a mistake and quickly added, "When the caravan set out for the last time half a year ago, I told Garin to ask the mayor for support when we passed through Quoge City."
Although most of the habitable areas on the continent have been taken in by the main city, the main city does not force every small village and town to join them.
So there was Gerry's village.
However, the appearance of orcs made it impossible for their village to maintain its idyllic status.
Faced with the increasingly critical and tense situation in the village, Gerry hesitated for a long time and finally decided to lead the villagers to seek refuge in Kuoge City.
He sent a request for support to Kuoge, hoping that he would send some warriors or adventure teams to protect them.
They were willing to take refuge in Kuoge, pay taxes and provide supplies every year.
But before they could be rescued, their village was already shattered.
"The rescue was delayed for half a year?" Lian Yun found it a little funny.
Gerry's helpless smile was tinged with sadness. "Now they say they are coming back from the ruins of the village and passing through our town. They asked us if we have seen anyone from the village."
Lian Yun: "What do you say?"
"No, we've been in town the whole time," Gerry said firmly. "Everyone kept their mouths shut and didn't say anything."
"I told them that the Lord is still resting. You can decide whether to meet them after you wake up."
"So, they were here for half an hour?"
After getting a positive answer, Lian Yun nodded, indicating that he understood.
After giving a look, Gerry took Lian Yun to the altar.
Lanna followed her closely.
The adventure team consisted of three men and two women, all wearing identical clothes made of durable fabrics. There were several pockets sewn on their pants, and weapons of varying lengths were pinned to their waists.
Behind them was a silent man standing with his head lowered. There was black gauze wrapped around his eyes. He looked to be a boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
But he was in tatters, just like Lanna back then.
Looking closely, he saw a hemp rope wrapped around his wrist, with the other end held in the hand of someone in the team.
Obviously not from the team.
"You must be the lord of this town, right?"
As soon as they saw Lian Yun, someone in the team stood up.
She was a girl in her twenties, dressed smartly, wearing knee-high boots and with short hair cut to her ears.
He has wheat-colored skin, gray-blue eyes, and a heroic demeanor, looking difficult to approach.
But Lian Yun could tell at a glance that she couldn't be a vicious person.
"I am Lord Lian Yun. You are the captain, right?" Lian Yun smiled politely.
"Yes, I'm Fang Suo." The girl showed courtesy to the lord confidently.
Lian Yun raised his arm with dignity. "Sorry to have kept you waiting. I usually take a short lunch break. Gary explained your purpose on the way here. Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Fang Suo lowered his head slightly. "I'm sorry to take up your time. We came here on a mission from Kuoge City. I heard that your town has never seen anyone from that village, right?"
Lian Yun's smile remained unchanged: "I thought Gerry had explained it clearly enough."
Fang Suo nodded with an ambiguous expression, then suddenly changed the subject: "Excuse me, but for the past year, I've been leading my team to take on missions near Kuoge City. I don't think I've ever heard of your town."
Oh, checking the household registration.
The girl raised the corners of her lips when she heard this, twirled her hair with her fingers, and looked as if it had nothing to do with her.
"Yes, my town was established not long ago. There doesn't seem to be any law requiring the establishment of a town to be announced to the public, right?"
Fang Suo's face remained calm, and his tone remained respectful: "Yes, I was offended."
"It's okay." Lian Yun accepted her insincere apology with a smile and continued, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. The town is still small and not very famous. But I believe that one day you will hear the name of Bubu Town when you walk on the street."
Fang Suo smiled and said, "It seems that the Lord is very confident."
Lian Yun smiled but said nothing.
"Now that we have the answer, it's time for us to go back and report." Fang Suo bowed to Lian Yun again.
Seeing that she was about to retreat, Lian Yun raised his hand slowly. The team members turned around hurriedly, only to find that the blond man who had been following the girl had gone around behind several of them at some point.
Lanna held his sword in his hand, his eyes half-closed like the little frog on his shoulder, looking very contemptuous.
Several people couldn't help but take a few steps back, but Fang Suo remained motionless and smiled slightly, saying, "A town guarded by Cornelius is indeed full of hidden talents, dwarves, succubi, orcs..."
"The adults are really broad-minded and can accept so many races."
Fang Suo's words sounded bland, and it was hard to tell what she meant.
Lian Yun didn't respond. "After traveling so far, I think you know the rules. I sacrificed my nap time to answer your meaningless questions. Shouldn't you answer mine too?"
