"What's wrong, darling?"
"No, it's okay."
Dave steadied his hand holding the letter and peeled off the beeswax covering it:
"It's a letter from a friend."
"Really? Let me see."
Laura took off her gloves, leaned forward, stood on tiptoe, and rested her head on Dave's neck. She had originally planned to engage in some intimate activities, such as reading letters together, but when she saw the contents of the letter, she was stunned.
[Seeing these words is like seeing the person]
【Dear Dave:】
I never imagined you'd be married in just six months.
I regret that I was in such a rush when I heard the news that I didn't have time to prepare a wedding gift for you. I can only wish you and Mrs. Laura a long and happy life together.
In this dangerous world, I think this blessing is everyone's hope.
This also shows that I am as generous as ever, giving you such a luxurious gift.
"Is it Luo Xiu?"
Laura looked at Dave, who was completely stunned, and immediately guessed the identity of the letter writer.
Dave had told her many times that Roche was a very good friend of his, but judging from Dave's current appearance, there was probably more to the story than she had imagined.
"Well, it's him."
Dave responded, his attention now completely focused on the letter.
How have you been lately? When are you planning to have a baby? I think I'll come visit you after I've finished everything. I already missed your wedding, and I hope I won't miss your baby's one-month celebration.
If you need any help, please ask the wind to tell you about your difficulties, and I will pray for you in my heart.
I've been doing well lately. Dorrant is a fantastic place. I visited Kanril and Rovamp, both of which were more interesting than I expected.
Anyway, I wish you all the best.
[—Your friend Luo Xiu]
Dave read the letter over and over, examining both the letter itself and the envelope, until the letter was slightly crumpled from all the turning before carefully placing it inside the envelope.
He took a deep breath and smiled:
"This kid doesn't know we haven't had a wedding yet."
After saying that, he seemed somewhat smug:
"I thought he knew everything, but now it seems there are some things he doesn't know."
Laura couldn't help but laugh at her fiancé's expression.
"Little Luo Xiu is already a big celebrity in the kingdom. His name has spread all over Kanriel, and he's even in the newspapers in Rowanpu. He probably never imagined that he would be so famous in Bandanda as well."
She looked at Dave, her eyes softening:
"Honey, you said you'd invite him to our wedding when he has time. Will he really come?"
Without hesitation, Dave nodded:
"This kid is a man of his word."
He found a chair, placed the envelope in the most conspicuous spot in the cupboard, and then clapped his hands:
"Let's have dinner, my dear."
The two sat down, raised their wine glasses, clinked them together lightly, and smiled at each other.
"To the beautiful today, and to an even better tomorrow."
……
……
Wheel Town was so small that it didn't take Luo Xiu long to explore the entire town.
Only when he heard the system notification in his ear, informing him that Leila had begun to kill high-level slimes, did he turn around and follow the wind and magic guidance toward the Sunset Forest.
It had been a long time since I'd been here, and the forest was still as lush and verdant as ever, yet it also carried a unique sense of desolation.
He walked deep into the area for a long time before finally spotting the first goblin stronghold.
This stronghold was about the same size as the one he had destroyed years ago. Instead of attacking directly, he continued to advance into it, wanting to see what higher-level goblins looked like.
He still remembered the giant green hand that appeared above the Slime Plains after the Slime Battle ended.
At the time, he perceived that giant hand as possessing world-destroying power; he wondered if he would gain new insights upon seeing it again this time.
Soon, the surrounding scenery began to change.
The towering trees seemed to come alive, gradually becoming strangely shaped and eerie. Where the dense branches intersected, it was as if ghostly faces were hiding in the shadows, casting their gazes at Luo Xiu.
A rustling sound came from the shadows, occasionally interspersed with a strange laugh.
Luo Xiu stopped in his tracks.
He sensed the presence of the magic array.
The forest was covered with a series of magic arrays, which, together with the giant trees, formed a barrier, blocking the way for anyone who came.
I wonder what kind of demons are leading the goblins; they seem quite intelligent.
However, such a barrier was obviously useless to Luo Xiu. Luo Xiu just kept walking forward. With a scream, the strange laughter disappeared, and the eerie and terrifying trees automatically dispersed, revealing their original appearance.
Luo Xiu chose a path with a relatively open view and went straight down until he saw a lush green wall blocking his way.
"A fifth-tier goblin!"
Luo Xiu was somewhat excited and stepped forward, ready to pat his old friend and let it reveal its true nature to him.
Before he could get any closer, the goblin had already spotted him.
"Boom, boom, boom -"
As if a mountain peak was trembling, the green wall in front of us turned around in the blink of an eye, transforming into a green giant with bulging muscles, a blue face, and fangs.
Its arms were as thick as stone towers, and it had a string of giant skulls on its chest. The surrounding trees were so tall that they barely concealed its form.
Looking at Luo Xiu, its eyes flashed with a scarlet and violent light. It opened its huge mouth and roared, as if a gale had swept around it, and the trees all fell to the side.
"At the fifth tier, you are the highest."
Luo Xiu gave his old friend a thumbs-up, and before the goblin giant could react, he was already beside it, patting its thigh:
"Take me to your old haunts, old friend. I need to catch up with some old friends."
Before the goblin giant could even erupt in fury, it felt the spot where Luo Xiu had struck it lose sensation.
Then, to its horror, it discovered that it could no longer feel the leg; the leg seemed to have detached from its body and could not be moved.
Then, the next second, intense pain shot straight to its head. The intense pain made its body tremble violently involuntarily, causing the earth to shake. It almost had a cardiac arrest and fainted from the pain.
Seeing this, Luo Xiu smiled sheepishly:
"Sorry, I used too much force."
Before the goblin giant could react, he climbed onto the giant's arm and smiled:
"You can walk on one leg, right?"
The goblin giant's eyes widened in terror, and a chill ran down his spine.
……
……
Deep in the sunset jungle.
Beside a massive, enormous tree, its grounds as vast as a lake, a nightingale was howling at thin air:
"I'm serious, you idiot, how can you possibly believe me?"
“I don’t disbelieve you, [**&**], the joke you told was indeed very funny.”
"There's a human who wants to kill all three of us. That's the best joke I've heard all year."
The voice of that towering Cyclops from last time echoed in the air.
To prove he was telling the truth, he even smiled.
Each laugh was like thunder in a clear sky, rolling in and shaking the earth.
"Damn it, you're such a stupid pig."
The nightingale was furious.
He was wearing a black cloak and kicking and punching the air.
There seemed to be an invisible wall there, and every punch he threw produced a muffled thud.
"Thank you for coming all this way to give me a massage, [**&**]".
The Cyclops chuckled憨厚ly.
This was his method; to avoid drawing too much attention in this place, he concealed his figure, appearing as an invisible wall.
The nightingale became even angrier upon hearing this. He considered taking off his cloak to show the Cyclops the wounds on his back and his broken wings, but in the end he held back.
He felt that even if he showed it to the giant now, the giant wouldn't believe him given his intelligence.
On the contrary, they are more likely to be ridiculed by him.
Damn it, I'll teach you a lesson you won't regret. Damn you. Thinking this, Nightingale wasn't angry anymore and simply sat down on the ground beside her.
"Are your Shadow Wolf and Moonshadow Bear here?"
"No, there isn't."
The giant said in a muffled voice:
"The Shadow Wolves are in the capital. I've trained a new Shadow Wolf King and am preparing to send it to test the waters."
"The Moonshadow Bear is here, but we haven't been able to train a new Tier 7 Moonshadow Bear."
"so."
