Chapter 550: Chapter 282: Otherworldly Fairy Tale (2)
As for what exactly the nature of being a Deputy is, Li Ang also couldn’t clearly describe it, but he could roughly sense that it wasn’t a life-threatening chore.
At the sa ti, Li Ang really couldn’t imagine luna working seriously, though he could imagine her being a robber.
"Personally, I’m inclined for you to beco a Deputy; you see Farina also has her own activity ti. As long as you complete the Dragon God’s missions, you can co and go freely. Those previous pieces of equipnt count as my support."
"So you’re bribing
with those?"
ii glanced at Li Ang with a seductive sideways look.
"Didn’t you say you’ve never seen such exquisite ones before? Did they not catch your eye?"
"They’re not in the sa league as the ones you made for your little girlfriend."
"So what? Everyone in the team should use the best."
"Hmph."
Li Ang sensed that this little fellow had so sort of mood, just like a kid who has seen sothing truly good and imdiately becos dissatisfied with what they have.
"I followed along mainly to observe you," ii suddenly said while looking beside her.
"What’s there to observe about ? I’ve said before, don’t assu I’m so sort of Savior."
"I was convinced before."
The white-haired girl spread her hands, shook her head, and pointed at the excited girls gathered together ordering food.
"Look at them. Now I’m starting to believe you’re the Savior again. Surrounded by such people, only soone with the legend of saving the world deserves this kind of treatnt, right?"
"There’s a lot of coincidence in it."
"Ho ho." ii gave two strange hums but didn’t say anything more.
Zoe and the others finished ordering, and once the dishes arrived, the topic shifted back to their equipnt.
"So, what are rmaids?" The curious chestnut-haired girl had been waiting for a long ti, just to have Li Ang explain at the table.
Andasu and ALulu also beca curious, as if the equipnt was ant for them.
Li Ang glanced at Dorothy, who was supposed to receive the equipnt. Normally the most boisterous, she was unusually quiet now, even looking a little apprehensive, just waiting for him to start talking.
"rmaids are legendary creatures..."
Li Ang explained to them the image of rmaids with a human upper body and a fish lower body, and the four showed expressions of curiosity.
He noticed Dorothy let out a sigh of relief.
This guy didn’t imagine rmaids as terrifying monsters, did she?
However, there are no rmaids in Nebis, but there are rfolk. Especially in so swamp islands, you can see these scaly, amphibious sub-human demons. So horror stories are written about them, so Dorothy is likely familiar with this.
"So that’s what a rmaid is," ALulu said, holding her face, seemingly imagining their specific appearance.
"Starting from the waist is a fishtail. How do they poop?" Zoe asked.
"You..."
Li Ang rubbed his brow. If this guy were on Earth with internet access, she’d definitely be one of those peculiar netizens with an odd way of thinking. The question she brought up was also asked when people started to deconstruct traditional story images gradually.
"There are various explanations, like their fish form is just a transformation, and they can actually turn into human legs, or, on a darker note, they are fish with a human skin disguise."
After Li Ang finished, he saw different emotions rising on everyone’s face. The three led by Zoe seed relieved, especially the swordswoman who had already gotten the Curse Swordsman’s Armor. She was touching her new gear’s exterior, seemingly satisfied with how things were.
Dorothy, however, pursed her lips.
Indeed, they were thinking along the lines of rfolk.
"Forget it, let
tell you a rmaid story," Li Ang scratched his head.
He intended to briefly talk about Earth’s famous fairy tale.
Speaking of which, the original model of rmaids might not be sothing beautiful either, whether it’s the Siren Sea Demon or other legends; they all have a bit of eerie horror to them.
As for Li Ang’s ho country and other countries on Earth, the reason they have such a beautiful impression of rmaids is usually because of that widely spread fairy tale.
The little rmaid gave up her identity and voice for love, ultimately wishing the person she loved a happy life as she turned into foam and disappeared.
Li Ang simplified the story, but the expected scene of the girls being moved didn’t occur.
"Oh, I see."
Zoe said, gnawing on a chicken leg with her mouth covered in grease. "So that’s what rmaids are, I completely understand now."
"You..."
Andasu’s expression was flat, seemingly desensitized to fairy tale stories.
As for ALulu, seeing Li Ang look over, she smiled shyly while still gorging on food.
Seeing them like this, Li Ang was relieved. If they were truly teary-eyed, that would have been problematic. However, this shows even more that their nature isn’t like that of typical girls. Perhaps for them, if they had to turn into foam, they’d rather upend the world first.
"Oh, such a romantic story."
Dorothy clutched his sleeve, seizing the opportunity to lean in.
"Hey, hey, we’re eating."
"It’s your fault for telling such an emotional story. If we weren’t at a restaurant, I would have cried out loud."
"Oh, you know we’re in a restaurant," Li Ang helped her sit properly, "Honestly? I see a lot of mischief in your eyes."
"Hehe."
The Half Elf extended her arms, lunging in for a hug. The other three were used to this, probably because they themselves were no longer reacting so excitedly as they used to when there was sothing to do. Instead, there was a sound of a chair leg breaking from beside them.
Dorothy whispered in his ear: "Could it be that in your eyes, I’m the rmaid who would willingly turn into foam for love?"
"It’s just a the, requiring a set of Water Attribute equipnt to unleash its power, hence the design."
"I knew you’d say that."
The alluring Golden Canary tapped Li Ang’s chest, "But what I want to say is, I really am willing to do so."
"I know."
Li Ang held her hand gently putting it aside. As they touched, the two Rings of Protection lightly clinked.
"Alright, let’s eat first. Tomorrow I’ll finish making the equipnt for you three."
Li Ang felt a sudden surge of Sword Intent beside him, giving him an inexplicable sense of urgency.
ALulu, before sweeping everything in, made sure to leave a portion for him.
While he was eating halfway, Zoe looked at her new equipnt again and said beside him: "I found sothing."
"What?"
"Wearing this equipnt feels so refreshing."
"Of course," Li Ang nodded, "it was intended as equipnt to withstand volcanic terrains, with solidified dense Water Spirit."
Zoe examined it closely, the Half Elf leaned closer and whispered: "Actually, these four sets of appearances match your personal preference, right?"
"Ahem, don’t interrupt while I’m eating," Li Ang diverted the topic.
This Golden Canary always used her perceptive nature in such matters. He had only slightly glanced at Zoe’s astonishingly slender but incredibly supple and strong waist, which was encased in the black Illusory Fish Dragon leather, showcasing muscle lines even beneath the elastic leather.
When she raised her arm, the rising shoulder armor also lifted the breastplate, inevitably exposing the clearly defined contours of the lower edge.
"I don’t mind how you make mine," Dorothy said.
Her soft breath made Li Ang’s ear itch: "This ti there’s also another kind like swimwear; you don’t think I’ll just let you wear what you did last ti, right?"
Li Ang shuddered slightly throughout, turning to see her dazzling smile.
"How’s your control over the Demon-Born Flower?"
"Still the sa, how fast do you think I can be?"
Dorothy bit her lip: "But I’ve got so bad ideas."
Her fingertip brushed Li Ang’s waist: "Tonight’s mine, right?"
Although Li Ang neither agreed nor disagreed, tonight no one else seed to need his rest ti.
After finishing the al, Li Ang initially planned to use the Armor of Wind to directly ride the wind, taking his teammates back to the treetop sanctuary, but then the two s, large and small, blocked the way.
He could say to ii, everyone returns to their hos, but this little girl intercepted him deliberately, knowing luna would force her to take her to Li Ang and the others’ encampnt if she were left behind.
"So be it."
Li Ang lost count of how many tis he’d sighed today. He said to the team, "You guys head back first. I’ll take them to see the Water Dragon."
He helplessly eyed the black-haired Female Sword Hero with even more resolute attitude and hoped that intoxicating divine spirit would find so tasks for this troubleso woman.
