Chapter 249: Message from the Camp

On the third day, the Three-No Princess, having reflected painfully, planned all night before making a comeback. Unfortunately, she still couldn't defeat Older Sister and was caught red-handed. Her Body was smeared with Honey, and then she was locked in the Small Dark Room. Incidentally, Older Sister also threw several nests of Bees inside. Thus, intermittent slapping sounds continued throughout the night.

The fourth day...

And so, in the midst of this fierce War, I, the great Druid Wu Fan, after suffering the painful fate of a City Gate fish for several days, suddenly shivered all over one night while getting up to pee. My Brain felt completely empty, yet my thoughts and the entire Restroom seemed clearer than ever before. In this flash of inspiration, I finally achieved great enlightenment. Four large characters, shining with golden light, flashed across my Divine Sense.

Hallelujah

What, you don't understand the Meaning of these four characters? Fellow Daoist, your Realm is still insufficient! ...

In a certain High-Class Residential Area in the northeast Zone of Lut Gholein City, fragrant grass covered the ground, and trees provided shade. In the center, a Secluded Lake was even built, bringing a touch of coolness to the scorching Desert midday. Here, a squad of elite Patrol Soldiers could be seen passing by almost every half hour, and public security was extremely ideal. Therefore, this Residential Area gathered nearly 80% of Lut Gholein's Merchant Nobles. To own a place here was enough to proudly declare one had entered the upper echelons of society. The size of the plot, the Scale and taste of the Building, symbolized the Master's wealth and Status.

It was in such a place, on a certain Marble main road, In Front of a Small Villa that, although small in area, no one dared to treat with Contempt due to its exquisite and unique Style, that a dirty Small Black Tent suddenly appeared at some unknown time...

"Boom—"

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, I held the Wooden Cup in both hands and gently sipped the Spirit-Clearing Water inside. My Eyes narrowed into slits, gazing into the Sky. I let out an Old Man's sigh.

"The weather today. It's really nice!"

"Yeah."

Maintaining the same posture as me, but with a Chipped Diamond instead of a teacup in her hand, was the Little Ghost. She echoed me in a crisp voice, then, like a squirrel gnawing on a chestnut, she continuously took small bites with extremely cute Movement. The Chipped Diamond, which had the hardness of steel, was bitten into powder under her set of snow-white teeth, as if it were ice.

"Excuse me, could I ask why we are here?" The Little Ghost, who had just woken from a full sleep, asked politely while eating, pointing to the Tent behind me, then pointing to the Villa behind the Tent, using an extremely innocent Gaze.

"The weather today, it's really nice!" I didn't hear, I really didn't hear anything. "Wah!!"

The ignored Little Ghost let out a soft cry. Her fair and sparkling teeth crunched on the Diamond. It was as if she was saying: See? If you don't speak, I'll bite you.

"It's been like this since yesterday. I also wanted to ask the Saintess, just how long did you sleep?"

Faced with the considerable threat posed by the Little Ghost, I had to respond. Even as a Class-Changed One, being bitten by her would hurt. About this, the dozen or so tooth marks on my chest, shoulders, and arms that hadn't faded yet were the best explanation. Damn it, even if she begged me on her knees, I absolutely couldn't let her...

Completely unaware of the dirty thoughts swirling in my mind, our Saintess Highness's pretty face rarely flushed red. She couldn't possibly say that she had only just recovered from the blow of losing to Marissa the night before last, and then slept with full vigor all the way until now.

"Boom—"

"Motherly Love, it's truly terrifying!"

After a moment of silence, I softly uttered a seemingly irrelevant sentence. For me, who hadn't really enjoyed Motherly Love, the scene behind me was undoubtedly a vivid lesson, yes, a negative example.

"Probably..."

Even the Little Ghost, who had spent a happy childhood in a family with a kind father and loving mother, felt a sense of uncertainty at this moment. Could it be that her own family was relatively... special?

"Boom—" "Can I ask one more question? What's with the explosion sounds from behind?" The humble and studious Little Ghost raised her hand to speak again.

"Little Lei is very diligent today too. Little Li, do you remember me? We ate Jerky together yesterday, remember?"

"Wuwu, ignored again." The Little Ghost ground her teeth, her beautiful eyes becoming sharp.

"Who is Little Li? Are you secretly looking for women outside again? Aren't you satisfied even though you have me? Is there anything you're dissatisfied with about our sex life?..."

"You..." Even though I knew only I could hear these words, I almost fell headfirst to the ground. What a formidable Ghost this was! Should I be glad the Hell Clan arrived in time? Otherwise, if she became the Saintess, there probably wouldn't even need to be a Hell Invasion; nine out of ten people on the entire Dark Continent would be driven to death by her first.

Steadying myself, I continued to narrow my eyes, pointing at the busy little Ants on the ground: "Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Little Li, she chatted with me for a long time yesterday. This is Little Lei, he carried the Jerky I gave him back all by himself, very impressive, and also..."

"..." This time, it was the Little Ghost's turn to be speechless. Perhaps, in a sense, we truly were a match made in heaven.

"As for the explosion sounds..." My Complexion darkened, and a faint black Aura seemed to emanate from my entire Body. My Tone was like the voice of the netherworld: "There are many Matters, knowing is happier than not knowing."

"Ugu gu, I understand." The Little Ghost was Intimidated by my genuine, miserable Aura, and for a moment could only let out a troubled Wail.

"Ding—"

This wasn't an explosion sound, but a very crisp sound, similar to a Gold Coin dropping.

It wasn't "similar"; following the sound, I looked. Under the Sun, there was indeed a glittering Gold Coin that entered my Line of Sight. Then, following the direction of the sound again, a small Figure appeared In Front of me, silhouetted against the light.

Carefully observing the Figure, she looked about * years old, wearing a Princess Dress. On her head was a Lace-Trimmed Hat. She looked just like a Doll. A pink and adorable Little Loli appeared before my Eyes. Her lively big Eyes sparkled with the pure Gaze unique to that age, completely undisguised and genuine.

A little lady's hand wearing Lace Gloves picked up the Gold Coin. She looked at me, then at the Tent behind me, appearing hesitant. She mumbled childish words like "If I get my hands dirty, Mommy will scold me again." I say, although children's words are innocent, couldn't you speak a little quieter?

However, the Smart Little Loli quickly thought of a good Method. She took off her Lace Gloves, then held the Gold Coin with her fair and tender little hand exposed to the Air, placed it in my palm, and gently stroked my Head.

"Uncle, be good. Don't cry!"

After a pause, she continued in her adorably captivating Voice: "It's a shame Mommy said there are enough Servants at Home, otherwise..." As she said this, she, who had been comforting me, started to get Moist/Teary Eyes herself, showing an Expression as if she wanted to cry.

Actually, I still haven't fully understood what the current Situation is...

Holding the small Gold Coin in my hand, which still carried a trace of warmth, I stared blankly at the Little Loli.

"Wuwu, is it enough? But this is all of Lilith's Pocket Money." The Little Loli, who called herself Lilith, had Eyes welling up with mist, ready to condense into tears at any moment.

"Alice." I asked the Little Ghost: "Do I look very down and out right now?"

She shook her Head. The Little Ghost corrected two words: "Extremely."

No wonder, I mumbled softly. No wonder that squad of Soldiers wanted to drive me out yesterday. If I hadn't shown my Status as the Villa's Master and a Class-Changed One, who knows where I might have been dragged off to...

Seeing the Little Loli's Eyes welling up with tears, I quickly comforted her in a soft voice. It took a lot of effort to finally make her laugh through her tears. Amidst her soft and sweet calls of "Uncle," she ran towards the Villa opposite, and then entered the Door under the respectful welcome of the Gatekeeper Soldiers...

"Eh—?"

Only now did I realize that there were other Villas opposite my Doorstep. Look at that imposing Iron Gate; it was as wide as my entire Villa. Inside, it was even more magnificent, like a Castle. It probably occupied a quarter of the area of this street block. I had never noticed before that such an important figure lived opposite.

I looked at the Doorplate. The words "Tyn" were engraved on it in golden letters. Only the Royal Family could have the character 'yin' in their name. In that case, the Little Loli's name should be Lilith Tyn. I'll ask Marissa another day. I shook my Head, then looked towards the unexpected guest beside me, who was casting a dazzling Gaze.

"I say, are you here to watch a show? Grandpa Ryan."

The black carriage that had been parked beside us since the moment the Little Loli Lilith appeared. Old Man Ryan jumped down from inside.

"I never expected it, never expected it, Wu, that you would fall to such a Degree! If you're short on Money, just tell me! A dignified Rogue Elder, actually reduced to the Extent of luring little girls, alas, alas—" With an appearance of lamenting his misfortune and being angry at his lack of effort, Ryan sighed and stamped his foot.

"Didn't you see it all? Don't just fabricate charges!" This damned Old Man, did he come specifically to tease me?

"Haha, my dear Wu, don't be angry, I'm just making a Joke." Ryan, exposed, showed no sign of remorse and instead laughed disrespectfully. This person's skin truly gets thicker the older he gets.

"But, what's with your Appearance right now..."

Before the words fell, an earth-shattering bang came from the Villa behind me. A pathetic Wooden Door, accompanied by a mournful howl, sliced between Ryan and me, then deeply embedded itself into the Marble Wall, causing a stir among the Gatekeepers of the Deen House opposite. "Well, it's a long story..." Ryan and I stared at the Wooden Door for a long time before finally mumbling.

"My dear Wu, hang in there." Ryan seemed to understand a little, looking at me with a Gaze of pity that any Man could understand.

"Please help me find a few Artisans to Mend it later." Even though I was being pitied, I was powerless to argue at this moment.

"Don't worry."

Looking at me, who was nearly Burn Out, Ryan was uncharacteristically kind and didn't continue to kick me while I was down. Before leaving, he told me that a message came from Akara's Place yesterday, saying that if you completed the Quest, you should go back and at least Report. According to the Statement, Fara is about to be driven crazy by your wife, and now she stays at my cousin's place every day, not even daring to return to the Mage Guild.

Sweatdrop. That Statement is a bit exaggerated. Velas isn't the kind of girl who would force others into difficult situations.

Thinking of Shala, thinking of Velas, my heart couldn't help but warm up. And Lars and the others, are they doing well? Are they worrying about how to defeat Andariel? What about Druv's Squad? Have they already defeated Andariel and are preparing to advance towards Lut Gholein? And the little girl Lin Ya, the first girl I met in Diablo, I wonder what Level she is now.

Thinking of this, my desire to return grew stronger. I planned to set off immediately after Older Sister left. But before that, I had to first confirm whether I had completed the Quest. I didn't want to give up halfway.

Looking at the Carriage gradually moving away, I stood up with a "hey," patted my butt, put on my Cloak and Cloth Cap, and walked towards the Adventure Park with a solemn expression.

"This way is the direction out of Lut Gholein City, you know." The Little Ghost kindly reminded me.
