Chapter 93 Can the matter of fairies be considered theft?
Luo Lan followed Emily, who kept chattering, and finally returned to the entrance of Gray Rock Village.
As soon as they stepped into the village, this strange pair immediately attracted several stares.
A knight from out of town, clad in full heavy armor, accompanied by a beautiful, constantly glowing fairy—this scene was nothing short of spectacular in the remote Gray Rock Village.
Feeling the gazes coming from all directions, Emily seemed to thoroughly enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention.
She immediately straightened her back and her flying posture became exaggerated and flamboyant.
While tracing various dazzling arcs in mid-air, they enthusiastically waved their little hands to the villagers along the roadside:
"Hi! Hello there, Grandpa Big Beard Dwarf!"
"Hi! Hello, pointy-eared elf sister!"
As we walked towards the vicinity of the "Broken Sword and Wine" tavern, the noise reached its peak.
Luo Lan looked up and saw the plump orc proprietress leaning against the wide wooden door frame of the tavern.
He was still holding a graffiti painting in his hand, and a faint smile was on his dark brown face.
A large crowd of villagers had already gathered around the proprietress to watch the spectacle.
Each person held a doodle with simple, colorful lines high in their hand, waving to Luo Lan and Emily.
Judging from this, it's clear that, following Luo Lan's earlier suggestion, the villagers had already gone to the prop shop to verify and figure out how many real silver coins these graffiti paintings could be exchanged for on the market.
Luo Lan and Emily squeezed through the crowd and walked to the front of the tavern.
Squeezed into the tavern by a crowd of smiling villagers.
A brief but riddled-with-criticism explanation, not too long.
Luo Lan only said a few words before Emily rushed to add a long paragraph.
The two of them ended the conversation in unison, saying at the same time:
"So... that's how it is."
The truth came out.
The proprietress slammed the doodle in her hand onto the table and burst into a hearty laugh:
"Oh dear, it was a misunderstanding!"
The proprietress turned around and yelled at the villagers inside:
"Did everyone hear that? This little guy is here to cure the chronic ailments of this canyon! I'm in a good mood today, so I brought out that barrel of aged rye beer from the cellar... Drink to your heart's content, all drinks are on the house!"
The villagers gathered in the tavern erupted in a deafening cheer:
"Yay!"
"Praise be to the great Miss Emily!"
"Cheers to the Grey Rock Canyon!"
Hearing the cheers of the crowd, Emily was immediately filled with extreme excitement.
The person tumbled and turned in mid-air, their little arms outstretched, waving them downwards, scattering rainbow powder with a crackling sound.
"Right, right! Everyone's going to be super happy when Emily's around!"
Then it flew to the landlady, like a child eager to claim credit, puffed out its little chest, and loudly proclaimed:
"Those fruits and vegetables are living so comfortably in the oasis now! The water there is so sweet! From now on, the spirit of the earth here won't cry anymore, and everyone can grow even more delicious food!"
Then, she circled the tavern entrance, hovering in front of the villagers holding up their paintings. Pointing to the graffiti in the villagers' hands, she proudly instructed them:
"These paintings are really powerful magic! If you ever encounter a big bad guy in the canyon, remember to throw these paintings at them and smash them on the head!"
The villagers were amused by Emily and burst into a good-natured, boisterous laugh.
After the fun and games, the food and drinks were served.
A joyous feast has officially begun!
Emily held up a wine glass taller than herself and toasted with one villager after another.
Luo Lan, on the other hand, transformed into a "foodie." Having just eaten her fill in the morning, she still had a "big appetite," stuffing her mouth full of the landlady's delicious grilled meat and swallowing it with ice-cold beer.
After several rounds of drinks, everyone was slightly tipsy.
Luo Lan also got playful and deliberately shouted loudly:
"Emily, you must have stolen something again!"
Emily opened her eyes wide and said:
"How could you slander someone's innocence like this..."
"What innocence? You admitted it yourself, you stole the boss's vegetables and fruit the day before yesterday."
Emily blushed, scales falling from her back as she argued:
"Vegetables can't be considered stealing... Fruit!... Can something involving fairies be considered stealing?"
Then came incomprehensible words, such as "spirit of the earth" and "kindness."
This caused everyone to burst into laughter, filling the shop with a joyful atmosphere.
……
……
Inside the tavern, the commotion continued over the free ale.
Luo Lan was once again full and satisfied, and her body's "biomass energy" was in a state of extreme abundance.
He politely declined the enthusiastic invitation from the orc boss lady, who was in high spirits, to continue participating in the "drinking contest".
Luo Lan was not a drunkard after all; he had other important matters to attend to.
Pushing open the wooden door of the tavern, Luo Lan stepped out.
I had only walked a few steps when I heard a rapid flapping of wings behind me.
"Luo Lan, wait for me! *hiccup*"
Luo Lan turned her head to look behind her.
Emily was slowly flying in mid-air, her fair and delicate face now tinged with a faint pink from the alcohol.
She staggered forward, letting out loud hiccups. Luo Lan spoke:
How do you know my name? I didn't tell you, did I?
Emily spun twice in the air like a drunken top. She stretched out a slender finger and, somewhat unsteadily, tapped her ear:
"When I was drinking just now, hiccup...didn't the bar owner ask for your name...? I'm not stupid, and I'm not deaf, hiccup—"
Luo Lan thought to herself, "This little thing may have been drinking, but it seems to remember everything it heard." She then asked:
"Aren't you going to the drinking contest later? I thought you'd enjoy those lively occasions?"
Emily stretched out her two little hands and patted her slightly bulging belly vigorously:
"No, hiccup~ I'm full... Besides, I think there will be more fun things to do with a strange human like you."
Seeing the tipsy little one, Luo Lan didn't bother with her. She turned around and continued walking along the dirt road, giving her a word of advice:
"Then be careful. You've drunk so much, you're swaying even when you're flying, don't fall down."
Luo Lan's subconscious words of concern seemed to sting Emily's competitive spirit.
She straightened up defiantly, and a burst of brilliant but unstable sparkle erupted in mid-air.
The fairy instantly flashed and stopped right beside Luo Lan, forcibly closing the distance between them.
It flew forward, wobbling, while loudly protesting:
"Luo Lan, you underestimate Emily! I'm one of the top banquet fairies in the Emerald Council! Hiccup—"
After that last long burp, the little thing seemed to have all its strength drained away instantly.
It fell erratically from mid-air, finally landing with a slight effort on the edge of Luo Lan's broad metal shoulder armor.
She curled up and rubbed her slightly flushed pink face against the cold nail polish.
The little hand instinctively gripped the gap between the helmet and the shoulder armor, then closed its eyes and fell fast asleep.
"Heh...yes...it's all Emily's doing...pretty impressive, right?"
In just a few seconds, a series of mumbled words came out of her mouth, and a glistening light even appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Luo Lan tilted her head slightly, glanced at the pendant on her shoulder that had fallen into a deep sleep, and shook her head helplessly.
