The girl who was punished by the gods counterattacked and became the group's favorite

Although Joel and Syrio both knew what Tia had done, they didn't expect to have a different feeling when they heard Tia say it herself.

"By the way, brother, what happened to you in the forest this time? How did you get involved with Austin? Can you tell me what happened?"

Tia suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Joel next to her.

“I didn’t notice anything unusual on my way to carry out the mission. It was only after I entered the forest that I realized something was a little strange.

At the beginning, everyone in the team was very vigilant, but the strange vines inside caught everyone off guard. When everyone was concentrating on dealing with the vines, a spider suddenly appeared. The spider's silk was also poisonous, and its eight legs made it move very fast.

At first, the surrounding terrain caused some obstacles, but later it simply became smaller and began to suddenly run towards everyone and bite them. The spider's venom, the spider silk everywhere, and the disruptive vines made it impossible to defend against them.

In the end, I had to use the power of judgment to barely kill the spider, and everyone worked together to cut off all the vines that were causing trouble.

I thought that the matter was over here and I could continue to go deep into the forest to complete the task of destroying the evil creature. But I didn't expect that a giant bird would soon appear in the sky. The giant bird could spit out a lot of fire from its mouth, and its claws were often sharp. It often flew low and grabbed people with its claws.

We were unable to fly high into the sky and were soon covered in wounds. In the end, one of our team members used himself as bait to attract the giant bird and finally killed it. However, the man who used himself as bait also died heroically, and the other man was also seriously injured.

I began to realize that something was wrong, so I asked the seriously injured person to leave first to see if he could escape quickly.

I knew it was not suitable for me to continue the mission alone, so I planned to go and see what the strange vines were. As a result, I fainted as soon as I picked up a cut vine.

When I woke up again, I was already here. As for the Austin you mentioned, I never saw him at all."

As Joel was telling the story and recalling the past, he couldn't help but look puzzled when he mentioned Austin's name.

"Isn't this Austin the name of the person you met at the party earlier? Did you see him in the forest?"

Tia nodded. "When I found you, he was right next to you. And it seemed like he found you after you fainted and took care of you until I found you again."

"This..." Joel had heard about the previous dinner, so he didn't have a very good impression of this person he had never met before, but now this person has become his savior?

Although it is very likely that this person is behind this, it would be hard to be too heartless if it is true.

"What he asked at that time was that we take him out of the forest, and we successfully took him out." Tia noticed Joel's conflicted look and added.

Joel relaxed a little, but he always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

He always felt that Austin's ultimate goal was not himself, but Tia.

Everyone may not have a clear memory of the dinner. Even if they do, the fact that Austin said he was her savior would force Tia to be nice to Austin in front of everyone.

"I'll send someone to investigate the situation in Austin." The more Joel thought about it, the more worried he became.

They entered the forest in groups, but did not end up well. Who on earth was this Austin? How dare he wander around in the forest alone and even take care of him?

"Okay, but the situation is indeed a bit serious. It's better for us to report it to our superiors as soon as possible." Whether Tia thought about her own experience or listened to Joel's description just now, she felt that a storm was about to come.

"Yeah." Joel nodded. "I'll go write the report now."

Joel took it apart and prepared to go back to the study, but after taking a few steps he suddenly turned around and stared at Syrio.

"I didn't expect you to have such a wonderful time recently." Syrio didn't want to continue the heavy atmosphere, so he decisively changed the subject. However, although he was saying positive words, he always felt a chill behind him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Joel who was hating him.

Joel was still staring at the man, and when he saw the faint smile from the other person who turned around, he inexplicably sensed a provocative meaning.

His steps, which were about to leave, seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he stood there watching the interaction between the two.

"I just did what I should do." Tia thought that she had only spent this period of time fulfillingly. Apart from normal classes and practical activities, she just ran back to the territory, which was not really interesting.

"But with Tia's description, it seems particularly vivid." Syrio said as he took out a large box from the bracelet. "I came in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to prepare a gift for you. This is something I give to you. I hope you like it."

Tia took the box, and her hand sank. "What on earth is this? It's so heavy."

"You'll know once you see it." Syrio said mysteriously.

Tia's curiosity was completely aroused. She untied the ribbon on the gift and gently opened the lid. What came into her eyes were all kinds of exquisite and small things.

The most eye-catching thing was the dolls one after another. Tia took out one of the dolls at random, and when she looked at it carefully, she found that it was simply a smaller version of herself.

She then looked at the dolls placed beside the box, which were all smaller versions of him, just with different ages and outfits.

"I thought the doll I gave you before was old, so I planned to give you some new ones." As Syrio said this, he took out another doll and shook it in his hand.

"Thank you so much." It was the first time for Tia to see herself made into a figurine. She found it novel and interesting.

"There's no need to be so polite between us." Sylio didn't like hearing Tia's polite words to him.

Joel, who was still very unhappy, suddenly felt relieved. His sister was still young, what could she understand?

He finally felt relieved and returned to his study to prepare his report.

Tia hesitated for a moment, but nodded, "Okay."

Tia continued to look at the things inside. The things inside came from all over the world and each had its own characteristics.

"Did you buy this for me when you went out?"
