Creating a Different World - Chapter 2679
[Chapter 2679 Return]
Lena felt very strange. She had clearly prepared herself mentally for the difficulties that might arise in the afternoon.
However, when they arrived here, the abominable Cohen did not show up halfway, and let the three girls happily fish by the river for an entire afternoon. It
was not until the mission of catching 100 large trouts was successfully completed that he slowly came out of the woods and took everyone back to the city directly without any delay.
In fact, this time he did not ask her to carry anything, nor did he ask her to run on foot. Instead, he asked Meili to ride a horse and carry her.
The Trout River is a good place for fishing. The fish here are easy to catch, and even novices can easily catch big fish. There are also many fish. 100 is a small number. If you see them swimming in piles, there are hundreds of them. Along the way along the river, there are countless such schools of fish.
So there will be many fishermen nearby, but they are more direct and use nets to catch them downstream. That’s so fast!
Lena experienced such an interesting mission for the first time, and she was a little happy to say it.
But on the way back, she was worried.
Captain Cohen suddenly stopped targeting her, which made her even more uneasy. She kept wondering what tricks he had in mind for her, and it would definitely not be that simple. She
was very nervous all the way, but when she arrived in the city and handed in the mission at the Adventurer’s Guild, she didn’t see him do anything else.
It was almost evening, and the setting sun was gradually sinking.
In the sunset, the four of them walked out of the Adventurer’s Guild and walked quietly on the street.
“Hey!” Halfway through the walk, Lena finally stopped and couldn’t help but say, “What are you going to do next? Just tell me all at once!”
Meili and Tatanil also looked at Jia Zhengjin, thinking that they really couldn’t understand Cohen’s thoughts.
Jia Zhengjin also stopped and turned to face Lena, with a faint smile on his face. When
Lena saw his smile, she felt creepy all over, thinking that there was another bad idea, so she subconsciously took a step back and crossed her arms in front of her chest, in a defensive posture.
Jia Zhengjin did not make any other moves. Instead, he reached behind his neck with both hands and gently untied the redstone necklace. Then, under Lena’s surprised eyes, he directly handed it over: “Take it!”
“Give it to me?” Lena was stunned. She looked at the necklace in disbelief, then looked at Jia Zhengjin’s face, and did not dare to reach out for a while.
“Aren’t you just here to get this necklace back?” Jia Zhengjin said, “Don’t you want it?”
“Who said that?” Lena finally reacted and hurriedly reached out and grabbed it. She held it in her palm very preciously, but stared at Jia Zhengjin suspiciously, not understanding why he suddenly became so easy to talk to.
“Okay! Since it is such a precious thing, be careful next time and don’t lose it again!” Jia Zhengjin said, “Merry, Tatanil, are you going back to the orphanage today, or are you going to the base with me?”
“Let’s go to the base tonight!” Meili said, “After all, that is our new home.”
“Okay, let’s go!” Jia Zhengjin jumped onto the back of the shadow leopard and sat down, calling out.
Meili immediately rode on the warhorse, and Tatanil also jumped on the horse’s back. The two looked back at Lena who was still in a daze, thinking that Cohen was not such a petty person, otherwise, how could he only embarrass her for half a day and basically did nothing after agreeing to a day.
This made the two feel much better, and felt that they had not misjudged him.
Lena saw the three people riding on their mounts and preparing to leave directly. She lowered her head to look at the necklace in her palm, and then raised her head to Jia Zhengjin and shouted: “Hey! Are you really going to give it back to me? The day is not up yet!”
Jia Zhengjin looked back at her on the mount, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, without saying a word.
The shadow leopard galloped directly out of the city, and the setting sun sprinkled on his face, which was so bright, completely different from the hateful guy Lena had previously remembered.
Soon, Jia Zhengjin took Meili and Tatanil and completely disappeared from Lena’s sight.
Really just left like that?
Lena still felt it was unreal, but the texture of the necklace in her palm told her that these were not illusions.
Although it was dazed and seemed like a dream, at least the goal was achieved.
The important necklace was back in her hands without any damage.
She picked up the necklace and carefully put it back on her snow-white neck, and breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn’t know how she got back to the hotel.
She finally kept thinking about what happened today. From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time she encountered such a situation.
How to say it?
In just one day, she felt that she had experienced the ups and downs of life, as well as different kinds of happiness.
These were things she had never experienced before and had never thought about.
“Miss!!” When she stepped into the hotel room, Panis came out to greet her in surprise, and the other female guards around her also had happy faces, “You’re back?”
“Parnis, I’m back!” Lena nodded and entered the room.
Panis was happy at first, but then she saw that Lena’s face was not right, and then she thought that it was not a day yet, and she was immediately shocked: “Miss, you are back now, do you mean you have given up? Didn’t you take the necklace back?”
“Huh?” Lena was thinking about something and didn’t react.
“It’s okay, miss!” Panis said hurriedly, “I will take them to chase him out immediately and take back the necklace from that guy! If it doesn’t work, report to the city lord and ask for reinforcements! Although the situation is not favorable for us, it is the lady’s relic after all, we…”
“Panis!” Lena reacted at this time and said hurriedly, “No need, that person has already returned the necklace to me!”
As she spoke, she reached out and took out the redstone necklace she was wearing.
When Panis and the female guards saw the necklace, they were all relieved.
In fact, they didn’t really want to cause trouble to Jia Zhengjin. Not to mention whether they could win the fight, this place was the other party’s territory after all, and they were isolated and helpless. And the situation on the city lord’s side was obviously not good either. It would be extremely unwise to rashly offend such a big force!
It was good that the necklace was returned, saving all the troubles.
But they were also confused: “Miss, he just returned the necklace so easily? He shouldn’t have made any excessive demands on you all day, right? Did he bully you?”
Lena didn’t speak, just lowered her head and thought.
“Miss?” Seeing her silence, Panis immediately thought of something else, “Oh my God! Did that bastard really bully you? How did he bully you? No! We must settle accounts with him and make him explain clearly!!”
“Yes, settle accounts with him!!” The female guards shouted loudly, but in fact they were just shouting, as a show of loyalty, and it was impossible to really go over. For such a major matter, we still need to report to the city lord before making a decision.
“Stop arguing!” Lena stopped them, “Nothing happened today. Although I suffered a little, it was just a job I had never experienced before. I was just wondering, who is he?”
