Chapter 49 I see you really don't have a horse!
On their way to the inn with Andrea 2, Terra, and Wendy, they saw a small group of people on both sides of the street who had been affected by the monsters earlier and were still recovering from their shock, discussing the incident in twos and threes.
In fact, people were not only discussing the "disaster" that had just occurred, but also the group of Terra and his companions, which drew their attention, especially from the few adventurers who happened to be passing by.
It's just that Andrea 2 didn't hear it.
We've already discussed Andrea 2 and the Block Man enough, so we can move on. The main topic of discussion is Wendy, the petite girl.
After all, Wendy had been going to the Adventurers' Guild a lot, and she could be seen testing in the Trial Grounds from time to time, and...
"Half of her body has already mineralized. It looks like her condition is very serious. I guess it won't be long before she turns completely into that kind of stone," said a dwarf adventurer on the street.
"No, you're saying that complete mineralization is unrealistic. Many people who get Oripathy die after three-quarters of their bodies are infected," said the adventurer companion carrying a large sword beside the dwarf.
The dwarf adventurer said, "I've heard that the bodies of infected people that are completely mineralized are very valuable on the black market."
"You wouldn't happen to have designs on that little girl, would you?" said the adventurer companion carrying a large sword.
Dwarf: "Hmph, I'm just saying there's something to it. I have some inside information. Remember that antique dealer on the black market? I heard he had a mineralized human heart in his collection. It was as clear as crystal. Some rich people believe in the idea of 'like cures like,' so even if they can't eat the crystal heart, they keep it at home, thinking it will increase their family's vitality."
"However, that guy's trading post was recently occupied by Ragon and Nora and the blocky guy. I don't know where the heart went. I guess it's in the blocky guy's hands."
"Looks like the heart crystal didn't increase his life force," said the adventurer carrying a large sword. "What are you trying to say? You don't actually think that Cube Man and Andrea 2 are only with that little girl because her body is valuable, do you?"
"Who knows?" the dwarf shrugged. "If it were me, I might do that kind of thing."
"I don't think so," the third adventurer in the group interjected. "I think it might be Terra's XP. Look at him, he's a blocky person, and that girl's body is almost half mineralized blocks. Maybe it's just star repression?"
"Ugh~~" His two teammates, one above and one below, both made disgusted faces at him.
"Don't judge others by your own standards," said the adventurer carrying a large sword.
Dwarf: "You're even worse than me!"

Meanwhile, Terra and Andrea 2 followed Wendy to the hotel where she had recently stayed.
The hotel Wendy was staying in was in a rather remote location, and the exterior walls of the hotel were covered with ivy, indicating that it was not well maintained.
On the street where the inn was located, people passing by subconsciously avoided Andrea 2 and Terra, who were dressed in exquisite clothes, and then secretly looked back to observe them.
Even just looking at their clothes, it's clear that Andrea 2's residents aren't wealthy.
Andrea 2 glanced at Wendy and thought that since Wendy could live here alone, the security must be pretty good.
She saw two armored guards walking past at a street corner not far away. The two guards noticed Andrea 2's gaze and turned around to bow slightly to Andrea 2 in respect.
Terra, on the other hand, was yelling "Yo-ho!" with exclamation mark bubbles popping out of her head, and she was running around the streets, going into every storefront she could find.
On the street corner, Andrea 2 caught a glimpse of a painter, who was painting something with his easel set up. The painter seemed to have noticed her too.
After a while, the painter came running over with his easel.
"Hello, beautiful fairy lady, this is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful woman. I've just captured your image on paper forever; please enjoy it!"
Andrea 2 raised one eyebrow, took the drawing, and glanced at it. The architecture was well-drawn, but the figures seemed a bit lacking.
Am I really that ugly? Hmm~ Andrea 2 thought to herself.
"That's good." Andrea 2 nodded. Don't draw it next time.
"May I ask for your contact information? A woman as beautiful as you, I hope everyone can also feel your fragrance."
When Wendy saw the painter floating over, she knew what he was up to. This guy had said exactly the same thing to Stella when she came back with her earlier.
Although she was a little scared, she still stepped forward and stood in front of Andrea 2, her back pressed tightly against Andrea 2's belly.
"You...you shouldn't bother the elf sister anymore...we won't give you money, and the elf sister won't...pay you a living..."
Being kept? Andrea 2 wondered. She was still relying on her "son," Terra, for pocket money.
"I'm not being persistent; I'm simply admiring the legendary young and beautiful elf." The painter was somewhat annoyed by the appearance of this little one.
"Is she pretty?" Andrea 2 raised an eyebrow; she seemed quite pleased with the compliment. Although the human figure wasn't very well drawn, at least her aesthetic sense wasn't off.
Seeing that the elf seemed quite pleased with his praise, the painter moved even closer.
Wendy pushed away the painter who was moving closer: "The elf sister already has a close male friend! Don't bother her anymore!"
Painter: "What?"
What does Andrea 2 think?
Wendy remembers that when she first met Andrea 2 and Mr. Terra, she overheard Mr. Terra calling Andrea 2 "Mom".
I also heard Mana1 say things like, "Men all have a certain Oedipus tendency, and it's normal for a strong woman like you to be used as a projection of emotions."
Although many memories have faded, Wendy, using her super intelligence, can still naturally deduce that there is some kind of close relationship between Andrea 2 and Mr. Terra.
The painter swallowed hard, pondered for a moment, and said, "With such beauty as Miss Elf, it's natural that men would surround you. I think this only proves how outstanding you are, doesn't it? I just wonder if Miss Elf would be willing to let me, a man, accompany you? I will surely ensure that your beautiful moments remain forever in the hearts of humankind."
In an instant? Andrea 2: "I'll probably outlive you, right?"
The painter paused, realizing he'd gotten into the habit of flirting with humans, orcs, and lizardmen, and had used the wrong words: "But there are always people who haven't seen your beauty, aren't there?"
"Then you'd better not draw it. It'll only bring shame to our race," Andrea 2 thought.
Seeing that the artist was still lingering, Wendy puffed out her cheeks in frustration. Suddenly, she had a brilliant idea. She turned around, hugged Andrea 2, and opened her mouth.
"Mommy~"
Wendy blushed.
Although she felt a little sorry for Andrea 2, she had no choice but to resort to this tactic to get rid of this annoying painter.
Andrea 2 was taken aback by the sudden call of "Mom".
"Miss Wendy, you don't need to call me that."
"Mommy~"
Wendy called out again.
"Mother!"
The soft, sweet sound drew everyone's attention, and Andrea's toes dug into the ground as she stared.
Let's not even bother going to the hotel; she's already booked the room!
Stop yelling! It's too embarrassing! At this moment, Andrea 2 felt that she might as well just commit suicide.
The painter thought to himself, "Hasn't this little girl always been wandering around here alone before?"
He even told others in the tavern that the little girl's parents must be beasts, leaving her all alone to make a pitiful living.
How can you call the fairy mother?
Aren't you human?
Moreover, this elf lady is so beautiful, pretty, charming, elegant, and captivating!
How could he possibly do something as beastly as leaving you here?
Do you even have a mother? Why are you calling her that?
We're both unfortunate souls, are you trying to stop me from hooking up with a rich woman? Are you trying to steal a rich woman from me?
You really don't have a horse!
