Chapter 157: Unexpected Encounter

The second floor of the tavern is where Miaoyinniao and others rest. Noita stays here for one night, and at the same time observes the recent situation of Adele and the Federation through the log.

Isolation from the dream, the connection with the crow statue was useless at this time, but if something happened, she could also provide experience point support, allowing Adele to quickly gain the strength to deal with the crisis.

Glancing at recent events, Adele was safe and sound, and her own strength had been greatly improved through training.

As she was about to close her log, Noita suddenly realized that the "Under Observation" notification was missing today. Luhua's observation had been continuous 24 hours a day, something she had almost grown accustomed to, but tonight it had vanished.

Noita removed the protective gear on her left hand, revealing her fair wrist. The pattern formed by the contract disappeared, and the log did not detect anything there.

wonderful.

Noita's mouth corners turned up, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on her cheeks, shining brightly under the lights.

The annoying guy disappeared.

No matter why Luhua left or what she was going to do, at least at this moment, Noita felt a sense of relief.

But besides feeling relaxed, she also felt a little unwilling. The contempt and arbitrariness represented by Luhua's departure without saying goodbye made her feel a little dissatisfied deep in her heart.

A girl's mind is always complicated. If Luhua knew what Noita was thinking, she would definitely complain.

Noita fell asleep, and her consciousness rose to the gate city to search for historical information about the Kingdom of Rongguan.

Midway, Roshivia's magic spell came, wanting to talk to her.

Noita estimated the time and felt that the last hint was obvious enough and the other party should have discovered his identity, so he did not immediately accept the invitation. Instead, he left Luo Xiweiya alone for a while before accepting the spell.

The spell was activated, and Noita appeared calmly in the Fireplace Hut. This time, she did not use the disguise provided by the Gate City, but faced Luo Xiweiya with her true face.

She greeted the puppet dragon enthusiastically: "Good evening, Meimei, long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Luo Xiweiya smiled and invited Noita to sit down. She raised her head lightly and said proudly: "I already know your true identity, Noita. The time for you to fall into my net is not far away."

Noita nonchalantly asked, "Is this a threat?"

"It's just a notice," Roshivia said. "Like a declaration before a war, this is my declaration of love. I'll catch you, and if you know what's good for you, surrender. I won't make things difficult for you."

"Meimei, you took the wrong medicine today. I don't like online dating." Noita was very moved, and then refused. She instinctively felt that Luo Xiweiya had not made up her mind, and these words were completely inconsistent with her past attitude.

If they had had close contact, Noita would have trusted her a little, but in the past month or so, they had only communicated for a short period of time in the Gate City.

Friendship is possible, but love is not.

There must be some conspiracy hatched by the evil Roshivia!

Roxivia transformed into the form of a dragon lady she had never seen before, crossed her arms over her chest and said, "Whether you believe it or not, my claim has been made. Sooner or later, you will be mine."

Noita is the most important piece of the puzzle for her to escape the search for the Grand Mystery of Rongguan City.

Although she has not yet developed love for Noita, love can be cultivated. She does not reject Noita and can capture her, perform a ceremony, and then cultivate her.

The declaration was half sincere, and half intended to appease and impress Noita, so that she would not assume ill will towards her side.

This is a hunt and a battle where the "future" is at stake.

Noita smiled sweetly and teased, "You're so powerful, Meimei. But I'm deep in the dream. I don't even know where I am, so how can you catch me? I think you should provide me with some supplies, so that I won't be suddenly swallowed up by the vastness of the deep dream one day."

Noita was just joking, but Luo Xiweiya actually lowered her head and started thinking about it.

Without teasing.

Noita thought to herself, and after a moment's thought, she changed the subject.

The next day, Noita woke up peacefully and jumped out of bed.

When she woke up, she was shocked to find that her daily experience had not been credited to her account. After checking the log, she found that due to the different flow of time, it was still daytime in Serkar's place. How could she be given experience without completing a day?

If the time provided by the Miaoyin Bird is correct, it can be calculated that the time flow rate ratio between this secret realm and reality is one to five.

This ratio indicates that this secret realm is closer to the deep dream.

When going downstairs, Noita found that the elf bartender was missing, and the Sweet Bird took over and prepared breakfast for the morning guests.

In the dim light of early morning, the bird's cheeks were rosy, and its hair was spread out, revealing ears that were thinner than those of humans but not as sharp as those of elves.

"Here, your breakfast." The bird handed over a tray of fish and chips and hot goat's milk.

She noticed Noitardo glance at her ears several times and asked, "Are you surprised that I'm half-elf?"

"I always thought you were an elf. After all, the current host of the Wonderful Bird Workshop is an elf, and she looks similar to you."

The bird suddenly understood and explained, "She is my mother. I inherited the talents of both parents and have even surpassed them."

After a brief chat, Noita carried a wooden tray to a window seat to have breakfast. The fish and chips were a little cold and not very tasty.

There were few customers in the tavern in the morning, so it was fine for Noita to occupy a table. She basked in the sun, spent 24000 experience points to upgrade the Taming of Evils to level 2, and allocated part of the conversion value to the control of psychic energy in order to obtain higher control accuracy.

During the careful debugging, time passed quickly and soon jumped to almost noon.

The elf who had disappeared for the whole morning finally arrived in a hurry and told Miaoyin Bird that everything was ready.

"Okay." The beautiful bird came to Noita and invited her to a luncheon.

She said, "If anyone who meets my taste comes here, I will host a banquet to welcome her. Would you be so kind as to attend?"

Noita blinked in confusion: "I agreed yesterday."

“Another invitation is a sign of hospitality.”

"Then please lead the way."

The bird smiled sweetly, opened the door of the tavern, and asked Noita to follow her.

The elves stayed in the store to entertain the customers.

They went upstream, and after a short walk, they arrived at a small restaurant. A notice saying it was closed for the day was posted on the door, and the sound of laughter and chatter drifted out from inside, dancing lightly.

The door was half-open, and the bird of prey stood beside it, motioning Noita to go in first.

The girl pushed the door open and walked in. There was already a group of lively customers in the store. They were drinking and singing, carefree and full of pure happiness.

"Ah, guests are here, welcome!" The restaurant owner came over quickly and invited Noita to sit in the main seat in a familiar manner. The food had not been served yet, but there was no limit on drinks.

There were seven people at the table, and they looked like they had different professions, including a blacksmith and a businessman. They didn't look like they could get together, but today they were all gathered together.

Simply because they are all Gaians from outside the secret realm.

We are both strangers in a foreign land, so when we meet we become old friends.

The guests warmly entertained Noita, and dishes with local specialties were served one after another. The chef often prepared this banquet and learned the special dishes of their hometowns from many strangers, so that she could complete them all by herself when the party came.

At first, they were not familiar with Noita and were a little reserved in their conversation.

After three rounds of drinks, people started talking and asked about the life in their hometown with anticipation but a little embarrassment.

What's happening in the outside world? What's the current situation in their area?

There were some remote places that even Noita didn't know about. She could only tell them about Serkar's current situation and tell them that the Adventurer's Association was exploring the secret realm, and that one day they might be able to return home.

This news is very exciting, but some people disagree.

Suddenly someone asked anxiously, "You said you were from Serkar. How's the security situation in the eastern part of Serkar now?"

The questioner was a woman who nervously waited for Noita's answer, holding her husband's hand tightly.

When he saw the couple, Noita wanted to directly tell them about the current situation in Dongcheng District, but their appearance gave him a sense of déjà vu.

It's like I've seen them somewhere.

His thoughts were aroused, and his psychic power accelerated his thinking, giving Noita enough time to search for their appearance in his memory.

Finally, Noita saw them in a corner of her memory.

It was a photo frame in Adele's bedroom, which contained a photo of the two of them in love.

There was a flash of lightning, and Noita suddenly realized.

They are Adele's parents.

Chapter 158 Her Personality

The sudden appearance of Adele's parents was surprising, but also reasonable.

Although they weren't saved in Adele's biography, they had indeed survived the decade-long assimilation. Adele was just one hair away from death, a line that would have separated them from the world forever. The biography didn't specify their location, but it must have been a stable, low-risk secret realm. Looking at the secret realms Noita knew, the Swan Land Secret Realm was a low-risk secret realm with a low risk factor, making it a suitable refuge for the lost.

It's just such a coincidence that makes people sigh that the world is so small.

Noita subconsciously adjusted her clothing and posture, calmly wiping away the coldness in her eyes, letting them soften and warm. She told Adele's parents, "Security in East District has improved recently, and Miss Adele is safe. She has embarked on her own path and has become a promising professional. Everything is thriving and moving in the right direction."

Upon hearing this, the woman's expression changed, and her true intention, which had not yet been expressed, was revealed.

She got the news about her daughter she had been dreaming of, but her uneasiness increased. What was the relationship between the person in front of her and her daughter? How did she know that I wanted to ask about Adele?

She asked tremblingly, "Do you know my daughter?"

"I forgot to introduce myself to you two. I'm Noita. I happened to be Adele's mentor before she entered the secret realm, and the one who initiated her on the path. I've seen your portraits before."

Cleverly concealing the location where she saw the portrait, Noita smiled and selectively spoke about her relationship with Adele: "Adele is currently working under me, responsible for community security and other matters. She is a capable employee who can handle things on her own."

The woman asked nervously, "How's she resting? Has she eaten three meals a day? Has she been injured while maintaining public order? Does she have a regular sleep schedule?"

The woman's concern came like a barrage of bullets. Noita took these questions lightly and only answered the good parts.

Love life, have regular rest, eat four meals a day, face problems with a positive attitude, and work hard to find solutions...

According to Noita's description, Adele lived a healthy life like a member of the Imperial State Religion. People who didn't know her would think that Adele was a professional of Jingtian Daotu.

Her answer was not perfect, and there were many loopholes and untruths, but a mother would always think of her child's life in a positive way, and she would fill in the gaps in her mind for the unreasonable parts.

And Noita didn't lie about everything, many things were based on true events.

Adele occasionally works normally and truly loves her job, but she's not comfortable telling her mother why.

In the following time, Noita easily answered the questions from others. There was a happy atmosphere at the table. Others kindly introduced the dishes on the table and told Noita where the snacks were from.

Sometimes when introducing two similar dishes, they would point out the slight differences between them, as if they were competing with each other, making the table always full of vitality.

When the fun was at its peak, the strangers started playing word chain games. Participants had to answer based on the last word and were not allowed to repeat themselves. Those who failed to answer within three seconds had to drink a glass of wine as punishment.

Noita naturally joined the game. She tied up her long hair, raised her glass generously, and persuaded challenger after challenger to drink.

Gradually, the rules of the game disappeared and people kept urging each other to drink.

Before long, apart from Noita, there were not many sober people left standing steadily at the table.

"Drink, drink more." Someone raised the wine glass vaguely, but before he could raise it, the glass swayed and hit her on the head. She fell to the ground with a bang and fell asleep soundly while hugging the stool.

Noita stood proudly among the crowd, clapping his hands in disdain.

No one could drink more than her.

At this time, Miaoyinniao came leisurely from the kitchen, shaking his head and saying, "My friend, you have a huge capacity. Charova is the biggest drinker among us. He has a natural ability to handle intoxication and is known for not getting drunk after a thousand cups. But you've tested his limit and he passed out after a hundred."

"If you're new, just practice more." Noita disagreed.

She restrained her contemptuous and complacent attitude and made the beautiful bird laugh out loud.

"Compared to you, their alcohol tolerance is indeed not good." Miaoyinniao smiled and shook her head, then turned and walked away. "Noita, come with me. I will help you with your work."

Noita blinked, not even thinking about work. After all, there was no need to find a job in a dungeon. But since Miaoyin Bird was willing to help, she was also happy to see what kind of medicine Miaoyin Bird was selling in its gourd.

She followed the bird up to the second floor. Under the clear sky, even the dust particles were clearly visible in the light.

The bird pointed to the distance, and at the end of her finger there was a castle perched on a lonely mountain. It was as dark as coal, and its pointed towers were bathed in sunlight, like a knight standing ready for battle, ready to charge at any time.

"That's the Swan Lord's castle. The current Swan Lord is looking to recruit an advisor, and I'd like to recommend you for the position. Would you be willing?"

"why me?"

"Because you and I are from the same place, the lucrative position cannot fall into the hands of outsiders."

"That's not it, Myoko," Noita said. "Why are you so sure that I will stay in the secret realm instead of leaving here and continuing to wander through other secret realms?"

Miaoyinniao has always had a sense of ownership, as if she could arrange everything, judge others by her own standards, and feel that she can definitely make others follow her arrangements.

The sudden question made Miaoyin Bird stunned.

why?

"Of course, it's because this is the best job in this secret realm. It's easy and well-paid, and there won't be anything that will bother you for the next month. I originally wanted to recommend someone else, but their strength wasn't enough. The new hire wouldn't be interested if they weren't at the second level."
