The B plan was also defeated, really must go to Lut Gholein to pull back that three strips, coming four people to sing in a chorus, thinks that Doug that voice, I tremble, perhaps when the time comes is not four people sings in a chorus, but is his forcing audience. B计划也失败了,难道真要去鲁高因拉回那三个条子,来个四人合唱,想到道格那副嗓门,我心里就直哆嗦,恐怕到时候不是四人合唱,而是他力压全场吧。 The thought fell into temporarily dead angle, ok, temporarily first does not think, perhaps when the time comes the inspiration came, raising the head that I just buoyed up, saw form, a person sits by the fountain, one such as yesterday's Kashya movement, is pondering anything. 思维暂时又陷入了的死角,算了,暂时先不想,说不定到时候灵感就来了,我刚振作起来的抬起头,又看到了菲妮的身影,一个人坐在喷水池旁边,一如昨天的卡夏的动作,在思考着什么。 Should this fellow, how describe? The form is everywhere, tragedy everywhere...... 这家伙,该怎么形容呢?身影无处不在,悲剧无处不在…… What is thinking?” “在想什么呢?” poor|Fei raised the head from the ponder, seeing is I, immediately reveals the vision of wing, then shakes the head, that seemingly familiar doing grocery shopping aunt selects the pork the vision, making me very hot big. 菲妮从沉思中抬起头,见是我,立刻露出一丝希翼的目光,然后摇了摇头,那副似曾相识的买菜大婶挑拣猪肉的目光,让我十分火大。 Your this fellow, with the ideological mode of old drunkard is one type? 你这家伙,和老酒鬼的思维模式是一个样的吗? I am thinking how should teach despicable woman one time of that red hair well, making her know that my is not that affable.” “我在想,该怎么好好教训那个红头发的卑鄙女人一次,让她知道我菲妮不是那么好惹的。” Saying, her also military might is wielding the delicate small fist, with seeming like the power and prestige actually unimposing tone said. 说着,她还威武的挥动着秀气的小拳头,用貌似威风其实一点也不威风的口吻说道。 „, This did, what good way think of?” I am enthusiastic immediately, squat nearby her, concern asking. “哦,这个呀,想到什么好办法了吗?”我顿时来劲,蹲到她一旁,“关切”的问道。 Meow, did not have temporarily, camp here I am not ripe.” “喵,暂时还没有,营地这里我不熟。” poor|Fei swings begins, indeed, the hadrosaurus does not press the local bully, lived dozens years of domain in others, a foreign visitor , was so can it be that easy to find to teach the good way of opposite party. 菲妮摇起了头,的确,正所谓强龙不压地头蛇,在别人生活了几十年的地盘,菲妮一个外来客,又岂是那么容易找到教训对方的好办法。 „Did, what you forget?” “菲妮呀,你是不是忘记了点什么?” My sincere is patting her shoulder, using the tone of elder saying that brilliant look deep visits her. 我语重心长的拍着她的肩膀,用着长者的语气说道,睿智的眼神深深的看着她。 Meow ~? What forgot?” poor|Fei really puzzled visits me. “喵~?忘记了什么?”菲妮果然一脸不解的看着我。 You forgot who we were? Is adventurer, adventurer presented the irreconcilable contradiction, how should solve? You are clearer than me.” Saying, I also make an effort grasped a fist. “你忘记了我们是谁了吗?是冒险者,冒险者出现了不可调和的矛盾,该怎么解决?想必你比我更清楚吧。”说着,我还用力的握了一下拳头。 Most directly, most succinct means.” “最直接,最简洁的办法。” poor|Fei is suddenly enlighted!! Effort knocks own head, annoying saying: Meow , is really, I forgot meow ~~ this matter unexpectedly 菲妮恍然大悟!!用力的一敲自己的脑袋,懊恼的说道:“喵,真是的,我竟然把这种事情都忘记了喵~~ Saying, she rises with a spring from the fountain, combative is preparing to look for person PK, suddenly has turned head. 说着,她从喷水池上一跃而起,“杀气腾腾”的正准备找人PK,突然回过头。 Cousin, you know that the strength of that red hair woman does have strongly meow?” “表哥,你知道那个红发女人的实力有多强喵?” Sweat, it seems like that this fellow did not have to be submerged the reason completely angrily, I wiped cold sweat slightly. 汗,看来这家伙还没有完全被愤怒淹没理智呀,我稍稍抹了一把冷汗。 Does not know, I have not seen her to expose the true strength.” “不知道,我从来没有见她展露过真正实力。” I swing begin, by heaven and earth and my conscience, I may not lie absolutely, I indeed have not seen the old drunkard has exposed truly the strength. 我摇起了头,天地良心,我可绝对没有撒谎,我的确是没有见老酒鬼展露过“真正”的实力。 Like this meow? Ok, adventurer of camp, the strength should not be right.” Revenges cherished, subtle neglected the two key words in my words, the mouth was whispering, slightly ran is leaving. “这样喵?算了,营地的冒险者,实力应该不会太强才对。”报仇心切的菲妮,微妙的忽略了我话里的两个关键字,嘴里嘀咕着,就小跑着离开了。 Amen, wish you soon to achieve Buddhahood.” “阿门,祝你早日成佛。” My grave to back that is departing, compared cross in the chest, at this moment, I as if see receive and instruct the Saint light together, is shooting down from the sky on, small Angel of two chubbies blow the trumpet to surround her. 我庄重的对着菲妮离去的背影,在胸口比了一个十字架,这一刻,我仿佛看到一道接引圣光,正从天空射落在菲妮身上,两只胖嘟嘟的小天使吹着小号将她环绕。 A moment later, I just returned to the mage association entrance, then bumped into dirty, on her face, in the hand, maid takes is dirty, dejected, the kitten bell of chest, the sound seems somewhat listless. 片刻之后,我刚刚回到法师公会门口,便撞见了灰头土脸的菲妮,她的脸上,手上,还有身上的女佣服都是脏兮兮的,垂头丧气着,就连胸口的小猫铃铛,响声都显得有些无精打采。 How you were ?” I am suppressing the smile, the startled sound shouted. “你这是怎么了,菲妮?”我强忍着笑容,惊声呼道。 Cousin meow?” poor|Fei scratched the dirty cheek, thin and pale of face. “表哥喵?”菲妮擦了擦脏兮兮的脸蛋,一脸的憔悴。 That red hair woman, really very powerful, I did not have Teleport with enough time, was stepped on by her in the under foot, handles with spear holds motionless my head. You look......” “那个红发女人,真的好强,我还没来得及瞬移,就被她踩在脚下,用长枪柄子不动捅我的脑袋。你看……” Her seldom shifts to me the back of the head, really can see slightly the bulge packet. 她煞有其事的将后脑勺转向我,果然能见到很多微微凸起的小包。 I may be more than you by the treatment like this, the old drunkard her bad strong S character, majority inherited on Elder Sister Sharna, perhaps the entire camp besides Akara, everyone must live under her despotic power. 靠,我受到这样的待遇可比你多着了,要不是老酒鬼将她那恶劣的强S性格,大部分都继承到了莎尔娜姐姐身上,恐怕整个营地除了阿卡拉以外,所有人都得生活在她的淫威之下。 Then, was dispatched by her, bought many liquor to be filial piety, was escapes safely.” Then, felt revenges hopeless to sigh layer on layer/heavily. “然后,又被她差遣,买了很多酒孝敬,才算安全逃脱。”说完,感觉报仇无望的菲妮重重叹了一口气。 So that's how it is, never expected that the camp has been hiding such expert unexpectedly, I have not gone to annoy her luckily.” I ponder the moment, saw hugging that the appearance that loses, haha laughs her shoulder. “原来如此,没想到营地竟然一直隐藏着这样的高手,幸好我没有去惹她。”我沉思片刻,看到菲妮失落的样子,不由哈哈大笑的搂上了她的肩膀。 Looks at your appearance, without the relations are not related, martial arts is high, fears the kitchen knife, since cannot resist with all one's strength, that outwits, the wisdom, is God grants us the strongest method, you look at that red hair woman, a silly type of face, probably intelligence very high appearance? Since this, why not we in secret are cloudy her?” “瞧你的样子,没关系没关系,武功再高,也怕菜刀,既然不可力敌,那就以智取胜,智慧,才是上帝赐予我们最强的手段,你看那个红发女人,一脸的傻样,像是智力很高的样子吗?既然这样,我们何不暗中阴她一把?” By my such comfort, seemed to be buoyed up, in the brain the recollections stupidly have Kashya that not to draw several optimist looks, is nodding unceasingly. 被我这么一安慰,菲妮似乎又重新振作起来了,脑子里浮想起卡夏那傻不拉几的乐天派相貌,不断点着头。 Comes, first comes my family to rub, is having an empty stomach cannot find out anything to pay attention.” “来来来,先来我家搓一顿,饿着肚子也想不出什么注意。” This time I am wholehearted must help recover the gathering place, after all, compares the fellow of old drunkard that seething discontent among the people, is more lovable. 这次我可是真心实意要帮菲妮找回场子,毕竟,相比老酒鬼那个天怒人怨的家伙,菲妮还是可爱许多。 However, the military force value of old drunkard was too high, quite a little a strength falls the feelings of ten meetings, letting the person is unable to start, headache. 不过,老酒鬼的武力值实在太高了,颇有点一力降十会的感觉,让人无从下手,头疼呀。 Goes home, discovered that Valise is not, Sarah also went out with her probably, as for three does not have the princess, cough cough, relax , like the domestic kitten, even if runs to play occasionally, dinner time definitely will still be punctual. 回到家,才发现维拉丝不在,莎拉大概也和她一起出去了,至于三无公主,咳咳,放心吧,就和家养的小猫一样,即使偶尔跑出去玩耍,晚饭的时候也肯定会准时回来的。 Valise is not, who makes the feast? I may only meet the barbecue and cook meat soup. 维拉丝不在,谁来弄大餐?我可只会烤肉和炖肉汤而已。 Sudden racket palm, right, how forgetting, isn't a expert? I must do, is gives her to prepare the material. 突然一拍手心,对了,怎么给忘了,菲妮不就是高手吗?我要做的,就是给她准备材料而已。 Rummages through chests and cupboards in the kitchen, only found some seemingly not delicious vegetables, it seems like Valise and Sarah go out, definitely is also because family's food used up. 在厨房里翻箱倒柜好一阵,只找到了一些貌似不大好吃的蔬菜,看来维拉丝和莎拉出去,肯定也是因为家里的食材都用完了。 I pondered one, thinks in the family/home also to have other what good food, the corner of the eye on glancing cannot help but to leaning on by a tent small pound, inside several white and shiny furry small creature. 我沉思了一阵,想着家里还有什么其他好的食材,眼角就不由自主的瞟向倚靠着帐篷旁边的一个小兽栏,里面几只白花花毛茸茸的小动物。 Here must explain again, in the pound, is only then two small lambs, were named by Valise for small every and small silk respectively, but crossed so many years, these two lambs also grew up, shortly after my previous time walks, the matter of line of that drifting along, became pregnant through an illicit relationship unexpectedly secretly, gave birth to three young and fresh-looking tender small lambs. 这里要再次说明一下,原本兽栏里,是只有两只小羊羔,分别被维拉丝取名为小凡和小丝,可是过了那么多年,这两只小羊也长大了,在我上次走后不久,竟然暗地里行那苟且之事,珠胎暗结,生下了三只水嫩嫩的小羊羔。 2-3 months of lamb, the meat is tenderest.” I flowed the saliva. “2-3个月的羊羔,肉最嫩呢。”我流起了口水。 Un un.” poor|Fei echoes is going all out to nod, her belly was also awfully hungry. “嗯嗯。”菲妮附和着拼命点头,她的肚子也饿坏了。 Is saying this lamb, I to remembering a matter.” In the mind the miraculous glow flashes, I said suddenly. “说着这羊羔,我到想起一件事情。”脑海里灵光一闪,我突然说道。 Remembers that Elder Sister Sharna has said that old drunkard that fellow, the most repugnant beef, the milk, in brief is all and cow related thing.” “记得莎尔娜姐姐说过,老酒鬼那家伙,最讨厌牛肉,牛奶,总之是一切和牛有关的东西。” Originally she also has such weakness!” poor|Fei takes down secretly. “原来她还有这样的弱点!”菲妮心里暗暗记下。 Ok, should be useless, do not think so many, first filled the belly says again.” “算了,应该没什么用,还是不要想那么多,先填饱肚子再说吧。” I and collect, hugs a small lamb in the bosom, this small lamb has not known to be faced with imminent disaster, still used for oneself the bright and intelligent eye to take a look at us curiously. 我和菲妮凑上去,将一只小羊羔搂在怀里,这只小羊羔还不知道大难临头,仍自用水汪汪的眼睛好奇打量着我们。 This gives you to be solved, I light a fire.” “这个交给你解决,我生火。” Division of labor and cooperation, works also quickly, before long, I set up the wooden frame, suspended the fuel, but is hugging of small lamb, is flowing the saliva, another palm thunder glittering. 分工合作,干活也快,不一会儿,我就搭起了木架,摆好了柴火,而抱着小羊羔的菲妮,也流着口水,另一只手掌雷光闪烁。 Little darling do not move, ended all of a sudden, will not be sore.” poor|Fei is saying like this, will glitter thunder light the palm to touch slowly to the innocent small lamb. “乖乖不要动,一下子就完了,不会很疼的。”菲妮这样说着,将闪烁着雷光的手掌缓缓摸向无辜的小羊羔。 Murderous aura!! 杀气!! the next moment, felt that behind transmits absolutely terrified terrifying aura, my brain revolution, understood slightly instantaneously, looked at one eyes silently. 下一刻,感觉到背后传来一个毛骨悚然的恐怖气息,我脑子微微一转,瞬间就明白了,默默的看了菲妮一眼。 poor|Fei, you must take care!! 菲妮,你要保重!! Then, the hand grasps staff, whiz, Teleport vanished. 然后,手握一根法杖,嗖的一下,瞬移消失了。 Well? Cousin, you...... „ “咦?表哥,你……“ Felt that the fluctuation of magic, hand stopped, turns around to look, actually discovered the position that I just sit, has been reminded of dear ones who have left now. 感觉到魔法的波动,菲妮的手停了下来,转身一看,却发现我刚刚坐着的位置,现在已经人去楼空。 Then, she also induced that murderous aura instantaneously, mechanical has turned head stiffly, in her behind, Valise of complete blackening, has worn the maid clothing/taking, takes the flat-bottomed pan single-handedly, on the one hand grasped the shallot, the whole body seems gushing out black great waves. 然后,她瞬间也感应到了那股杀气,机械般的生硬回过头,在她身后,已经完全黑化的维拉丝,身穿女佣服,一手拿着平底锅,一手抓着青葱,全身仿佛在涌出一股股黑色浪涛。 Behind Valise, but also is standing like the Angel beautiful young girl, the correct use indignant vision is staring, pulls out the long sword slowly, the willow eyebrows like the sword, the whole body lends bone-chilling cold aura. 维拉丝后面,还站着一个如同天使般美丽的少女,正用忿忿的目光瞪着菲妮,缓缓抽出长剑,柳眉如剑,全身散发出一股凛冽的气息。 If the first two girl, can only make her feel the fear, that last, made her dread sufficiently, three did not have the princess, once made her fall into three in abyss of suffering not to have the princess, if said that in this world also had anyone to make dread, only then present three did not have the princess, perhaps must be counted a small spirit. 如果说前两个女孩,只能让她感到害怕,那最后一个,就足以令她畏惧,三无公主,曾经让她陷入水深火热之中的三无公主,若说这个世上还有什么人能让菲妮畏惧,就只有眼前的三无公主,或许还要算上一个小幽灵。 Meow ~~ meow ~~ you listened to me to say meow ~~ ~ “喵~~~~你们听我说喵~~~” poor|Fei feels each syllable that jumps from the throat, just like own body, going all out is hitting trembling. 菲妮感觉从喉咙里蹦出的每一个音节,都和自己的身体一样,在拼命的打着颤。 Puts down young in hand, then, death!!” “放下手中的小莎,然后,死!!” Valise of complete blackening, in the succinct swift and fierce tone, has a frightening imposing manner, gentlest person, getting angry, is fearful. 完全黑化的维拉丝,简洁凌厉的语气中,有着一股让人胆战心惊的气势,最温柔的人,发起火来,才最是可怕。 When trembles the flash that only struggles the small lamb is putting to fall to the ground that the flat-bottomed pan has sound air-splitting depresses toward her top of the head. 当菲妮颤颤的将那只挣扎着的小羊羔放落地的一瞬间,平底锅已经带着破空的声音的朝她头顶压下。 „The ~~ cousin, saves a life meow, your wife, really completely is very fearful meow ~~ ~~表哥,救命喵,你的妻子,果然全部都很可怕喵~~ Today, mages of mage association may calculate that saw novel one, the wife of Wu Fan long place of origin that three peony, in the hand grasped the lethal weapon that various types are worth complaining, is chasing down a pretty female

今天,法师公会的法师们可算见到了新奇的一幕,吴凡老家那三位国色天香的妻子,手里握着各种值得吐槽的凶器,追杀着一个疑似酒吧侍女的俏丽女子,在法师公会整整绕了四五圈,于是一个个谣言又酝酿而生。 Sentimental dispute!” mage armor categorical conclusion said. “感情纠纷!”法师甲斩钉截铁的断定道。 Every elder does the

continually has not resulted in escapes, the fate meets more miserable without doubt. 菲妮默默的祈祷着,她知道,相比被追杀了四五圈的自己,等那几个可怕的女人回去以后,自己那连逃都没得逃的可怜表哥,下场无疑会比自己更惨。 However, found the weakness of that despicable red hair woman finally is anything, relax, the cousin, I will complete your last wish well meow. 不过,总算找到了那个卑鄙的红发女人的弱点是什么了,放心吧,表哥,我会好好完成你的遗愿喵。 The poor|Fei hand grasps the fist, looks up to the sky, in her eyes, that sunny sky, as if appeared leaving lofty ideal unrealized somebody, revealed the face of smile to oneself, then same crashed like the meteor. 菲妮手握拳头,仰望天空,在她眼中,那晴朗的天空,仿佛浮现出了“壮志未酬”的某人,对自己露出微笑的面孔,然后如同流星一样坠落。 Then, direct impact west district transaction area, good to fiddle with, then has the smile that must win, returning to the hotel to
