Chapter 697
Now he was sweating profusely.
Xiaoyue usually joked like this, and Elena and Alina didn't take it seriously.
But the problem was that the two of them were planning to do something not too shameful not long ago, and now they were bumped into and exposed, which was very embarrassing.
Cold sweat kept flowing down with real sweat, and his breathing became rapid. If he hadn't just finished intense exercise, he would look guilty.
"Well, what's wrong? Why don't you say anything?"
This made Xiaoyue a little confused. If it were normal, Elena would have said something to him, but now both Alina and Elena were silent, and no matter how they looked at it, something was wrong.
"Ahem, what's there to say? You want to come here and do something stupid, do I have to cooperate with you?"
Elena coughed twice and responded reluctantly, but her eyes still didn't dare to fall on Xiaoyue.
"Hey~ That's too much. I just came here to liven up the atmosphere. There's no need to call me stupid, right?"
This made Xiaoyue very dissatisfied. She was just joking.
"Let's not talk about that. What are you doing here so early in the morning? Don't tell me you're here to make my ears noisy."
Not wanting to stay on this topic for too long, Elena hurriedly changed the subject. Xiaoyue wouldn't come here for no reason, at least not in a place like this.
"Are you too cold to me? Sure enough, as soon as Captain Elena came back, your heart turned to her. Although this is good for me, I personally still hope that you can treat me better."
Xiaoyue pouted and said with some dissatisfaction, leaning over to Elena's side, and her little hands began to touch him dishonestly.
"Like come to my room at night and accompany me to do something happy, huh~"
After saying that, Xiaoyue blew air into Elena's ears. She usually liked to tease Elena the most, although Elena's reaction was always very calm every time she did so.
"Ahem, Xiaoyue, stop making trouble, let's talk about business first."
Elena on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and she coughed twice to remind Xiaoyue, and at the same time, her eyes couldn't help but look at Elena sideways, as if observing his reaction.
Fortunately, Elena was still calm as usual. If Xiaoyue really invited him, he would seriously consider it, but now it was just a joke no matter how he looked at it, and he didn't need to take it seriously.
"It's not a big deal, but Grayman came again, and seemed to want to talk to us about something. He is waiting in the living room in the house now."
Hearing Grayman's name, although he was a teammate in a strict sense, his arrival was probably not good news for Elena.
After all, they definitely didn't come here to chat with everyone. They must have another task to entrust them with, and it was probably the matter of sneaking into the excavation site of the demon clan mentioned last night.
"Elena, go take a shower and rest first, I'll talk to Grayman here."
Elena was a little helpless. She probably couldn't refuse, after all, they came here to solve the problem of demon invasion.
It would be good to be able to solve the problem of demon clan, but it was too dangerous to sneak into the place guarded by the demon clan. Elena didn't think of asking others to do it.
Without rejecting Elena's proposal, Elena walked towards her room. She really needed to clean up the sticky body, but it was a pity that Elena couldn't help wash her hair.
Under Xiaoyue's leadership, Elena soon arrived in the living room. Grayman was sitting on the sofa in the living room at this moment, holding a teacup in his hand and drinking the boiled water that someone had just poured out.
"Hey, brother Elena, you're finally here. It was really thanks to you yesterday."
Seeing Elena, Grayman immediately showed a bright smile on his face and immediately invited Elena to come and sit down.
"Lord Greyman, what's the matter this early in the morning? Everyone hasn't rested yet. Why are you in such a hurry to come here?"
Although his tone was very calm, Elena's words were somewhat sarcastic to Greyman. After all, the sun had just risen, and the sky hadn't had time to get bright yet. Normal people hadn't gotten up yet.
"I'm in a hurry to thank you. I didn't expect you to encounter such a thing just after you came here. If you weren't here, things would be bad. We can't solve so many demons alone."
Greyman said with a smile. As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person. With his smile, Elena really couldn't say anything more harsh.
"Forget the polite words. Tell us what's the matter. If we can help, we will consider accepting it."
Elena sat on the sofa opposite, not wanting to talk to Grayman.Man didn't mean to talk nonsense, and he went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.
Although he already knew why the city lord came here, he still had to say a few words according to etiquette.
"You are really generous as a young man. I like your straightforward character. I won't waste time talking to you. Regarding the plan of the demon clan, I hope you can help me. The content is the same as what we talked about yesterday. I hope someone can interfere with them."
Grayman was not angry because of Elena's slightly rude words. On the contrary, he still showed a smile. That look made people feel a little mean for some reason. As a city lord who was born as a knight, this person was a little too smooth.
After saying that, Grayman threw a map to Elena. He took it in his hand and took a closer look. It recorded the detailed terrain nearby. The weak point of the Gobi Desert that the demon clan was eyeing had been clearly drawn with a red circle.
The base of the demon clan was also marked on the map. It can be said that the information on this map has been fully pulled, and most of the things are displayed on it.
Since Irina and the others were to take the risk, Grayman, as the supporting party, would naturally not be stingy with his intelligence. After all, killing Irina and the others would not benefit him at all.
However, Irina still didn't like this man. She always felt that he was calculating too much. For him as the city lord, the title of hero was not very important, and he didn't care about Irina as an important treatment resource.
All he needed was the benefits and the ability to provide the most favorable conditions for this war. He didn't care about anything else. He could be said to be a man who would do anything to win.
No one could criticize him. Since Grayman had been able to become the city lord in such a harsh place for so many years, his character of being good at measuring value was definitely indispensable. It can be said that most of his achievements were attributed to his character.
Irina frowned as he looked at the map. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to go, but he had to seriously consider the candidates. It was impossible for him to take everyone to sneak into the enemy camp.
