Chapter 553: 415, Coldmoon Duke's contract, collect fire-resistant potion materials
"So... do you know me?"
In the living room, McCarthy, supporting her cheek with one hand, lazily spoke.
She remembered clearly. When she first came in, Lin Da had looked at her with a strange gaze. That expression did not seem like one directed at a stranger.
Lin Da responded perfunctorily, "You are too beautiful, I couldn't help but take another look."
McCarthy scoffed, "I'm not one of those young girls who can be deceived by a few sweet words. By the way, compared to your title 'Eye of True Knowledge,' I actually prefer 'Ultimate Pervert.'"
"Captain is not lecherous!" Monica couldn't help but retort for Lin Da, her cheeks puffing up.
"When adults are speaking, children shouldn't interrupt," McCarthy snorted, flicking her finger, and a pink rope formed by magic power flew towards Monica.
Monica was suddenly bound tightly and fell to the ground like a cocoon.
"Don't make a sound." McCarthy glanced at the former's pale face and smiled, "My style of doing things has always been: the more the prey struggles, the more excited I get. If you don't want to get hurt, keep your mouth shut and stay put on the side, I'll let you go once I finish the important discussion with your team captain here."
Seeing Tasya's murderous look, McCarthy said interestedly, "What, do you also want to be tied up and thrown on the ground?"
"Senior, this is somewhat excessive,"
Lin Da frowned and said.
Lin Da could probably guess the purpose of McCarthy's visit.
Theoretically, she should be considered a "friend."
But McCarthy's personality was too dreadful.
Unlike Winaro who wore arrogance on his face, McCarthy's disdain was shown in every move, like slaps hitting Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team's face.
Lin Da stared coldly at McCarthy, "Let go of my team member."
"You think just because you say let go, I'll let go? I'm not that cheap..." McCarthy cut herself off mid-sentence, a mysterious chill suddenly rising on her back.
The last time she felt something similar was when Dai Lian of Dark Shadow entered the camp and was taunted by her.
During the graduation exam, Dai Lian defeated her in front of everyone in Ice Abyss with just one look, turning her into a joke there for a while.
Years had passed since then. Those senior students had either graduated or been eliminated; no one remembered the past, and McCarthy had slowly stepped out of the shadow of Dai Lian.
Seeing Lin Da's icy gaze, McCarthy was reminded of that guy in the black coat.
This subtle familiarity...
"Tsk."
McCarthy rubbed her temples, feeling frustrated, losing the mood to tease Lin Da and his group. With a wave of her right hand, the pink whip binding Monica disappeared.
"Are you alright?" Lin Da helped Monica up.
"Yes," Monica nodded and whispered, "I'm going upstairs, can't cause trouble for Captain."
"Go on." Lin Da rubbed Monica's head.
Then, he glanced sideways at the contemplative McCarthy. Why had this Dark Elf suddenly become so agreeable?
Just a moment ago, he was a bit nervous, even holding the Shadow of Darkness Experience Card in his hand.
If McCarthy had made a move against him, he could only have used the Super Kill against McCarthy right away.
It was not easy to obtain just one Experience Card, and Lin Da certainly didn't want to use it so casually.
"What's all this noise! You're disturbing my sleep!"
At this moment, a blonde girl with messy hair, wearing pajamas, came downstairs rubbing her eyes.
"Who's this Purple Roast Chicken, Phoenix Tail Flower has a new member? Let me tell you, the hierarchy in Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team is strict, I hold the highest rank followed by Lin Da, and you, the newcomer, get to do the dishes."
A certain blonde deity who had just woken up at noon spoke carelessly.
McCarthy was about to teach this sloppy girl a lesson, but looking into her eyes, which were as clear and intelligent as a puppy's, McCarthy felt a strange sensation that everything about her was being seen through?
In those lazy, corrupted eyes, there lurked a power that McCarthy could not describe, one that could only be sensed by a sixth sense, sending a shiver down her spine.
"Bloodline? Legendary Equipment? Or some kind of Forbidden Technique?"
McCarthy's heart skipped a beat.
Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, an aura of mystery everywhere.
"Please don't take the nonsense this useless one speaks to heart," Lin Da said awkwardly.
"But I am speaking the truth," Kafni grudgingly walked away, driven by Lin Da.
Perhaps it was due to Kafni lightening the mood, but when they returned to the living room, Lin Da felt that McCarthy's attitude had improved somewhat.
"Earlier, I was just joking with your team member, you don't mind, do you?"
Lin Da said with a stern face, "No, I don't mind."
"So why have you come here, what's the matter finally?"
"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself. I am one of the Chief Instructors of Ice Abyss, just call me McCarthy. I am here to relay the will of that lord."
McCarthy stood up, clearing her throat.
The playfulness on the face of this Dark Elf disappeared, her expression became serious and solemn, her right hand placed in front of her chest, the badge representing Ice Abyss on her hat emitted a cold blue light.
"Lin Da, I, as an envoy of Duke Cold Moon, invite you to sign a contract.
Just nod in agreement, and Duke Cold Moon will allow you to go to the Moon Treasury, select any Legendary Weapon of your choice, and receive a Ten-Star Rating.
Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
Moreover, a Level 60 'Super Kill' Skill Book, and 10000 Cultivation Points,"
Having said that, McCarthy's expression returned to its lazy demeanor, spreading her hands: "What do you think? These are generous terms that even a Light Rank Adventurer would be ecstatic about, so why not sign the contract with your blood right away?"
