"bought?"
At the same moment, in a deserted corner outside Carlo Village, Art, who had been waiting for a long time, slowly stood up with a smile on his face, looking at the man carrying the small wooden box with surprised eyes.
The figure of Xue Ling Huan Bing gradually approached: "You actually bought me?"
"...Isn't this your proposal?"
Gently putting down the wooden box in his hand, Xue Ling Huanbing, who was crouching down, reached out and took out the colorful small round bottles in the box: "This is a remote village, so no one should recognize me...
…”
"The speed of the empire's arrests and the pride of its people do not allow people like you to exist. They are a country that has expelled principalities for hundreds of years." Art shook his head: "A person of your level
They have probably already informed the whole country about the wanted criminals."
"I didn't really go into the village."
The movement in his hand settled slightly for a moment, and then the player named Xue Ling Huan Bing put the bottles of potions he took out into his own package: "There is a shop opened by an adventurer at the entrance of the village. He seems to be willing to sell me these.
Potion, so I didn’t have any contact with the people in the village and directly bought all his best goods.”
"Potion made by adventurers? In such a remote village?"
He took two steps forward and walked to the opponent's side. Art, who also squatted down, stretched out his head to look at the round potion bottle in Xue Ling Huan Bing's hand: "Strange shape, strange color... These potions are made by adventurers.
?”
"probably."
Subconsciously looking at the bright red bottle of miracle potion hidden in his arms, Xue Ling Huan Bing replied expressionlessly: "He said this was a product left over from his experiment, and he just gave it to me at a low price.
That’s all.”
"The product of the experiment?"
Reaching out to touch a blue potion bottle in a wooden box, Art's eyes became even more surprised: "This level of healing effect... not even the alchemists in the city can achieve this level, a remote place
How did the adventurer in the village do it? How could he sell it to you?"
"..."
Seemingly unable to answer these questions raised by the other party, Xueling Huanbing silently threw all the remaining round potion bottles into his bag, and then while standing up, he took the blue bottle from the other party's hand.
He took the potion back and said, "Let's go."
"Hey, at least give me a bottle."
The distance between the two figures gradually widened and was then narrowed by Art's hurried steps to follow. He, who was also dressed as an adventurer, gave up the idea of reminding the other person: "Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore.
But…where are we going to go next?”
"Keep moving forward." Xue Ling Huan Bing replied without looking back: "Don't forget our purpose."
"That's your purpose, I'm just following to watch the excitement." Art spread his hands unnecessarily: "And...if there is really someone who makes that kind of thing hiding here, you don't have to be too anxious, right? After all, the other party
The strength may be very strong..."
"I'll kill him."
Inadvertently revealing the bloody sword at his waist, Xue Ling Huan Bing turned sideways and focused his gaze on the middle of the village that was becoming noisy not far behind him: "Let's go quickly."
"We don't have much time here."
The gears of destiny began to rotate again as the two figures gradually disappeared into the scene in front of the wasteland, but the groove on the other side of the meshing gears has not even stretched out yet, and the sunlight from the sky of the free world will later be called Ka.
The village of Luocun shines brighter, and the increasingly warm weather makes the vigorous vitality of this village more obvious. Linyuan Duanshui, who has been busy selling magic potions, finally followed the players who went out for adventure.
He gradually left the trend here and stopped his movements. He stared at the peaceful entrance of the village with plain and comfortable eyes. Then he turned around and returned to the magic house when several NPC children ran past him.
: "...Huh? Already gone?"
Inside the empty cabin, the figure of the old man had disappeared. After scratching his head, he shrugged helplessly and reached out to open a shabby curtain behind the magic cabin. The simple room was even narrower.
The room then appeared in front of him in the sunlight shining through the window. It was decorated with shabby beds and ancient furnishings to decorate the simple living environment of the owner here. The magician who stared at the sunlight then sighed softly.
With his tone, he used the action of lying on the bed to dispel the chaotic emotions gradually rising in his heart: "What should come will eventually come back...Should I say this?"
"No, it's really over this time." He closed his eyes quietly: "It should... be over."
Staying in the magic cabin, going out every day to buy medicinal and magic materials, researching the production of magic potions, and then selling the experimental magic potions as commodities - since the character of Linyuan Duanshui was established, he has been living
Living such a simple and ordinary life, the relaxed and regular game content for several months has not brought any discomfort or boredom to this player who was just born in Novice Village. Instead, it has made him interested in potion alchemy and other aspects.
The content has become a lot more familiar. Thanks to the unknown old man, he has been staying here and learned a lot of different magic knowledge along with the making of magic potions. His daily practice and study in private have also made him more familiar.
He has gradually improved his earth magic ability, and even likes the pace of life where he relies on ordinary hard work and study to support himself. However, no matter how much progress he has made in magic research, he is only a ninth-level person.
The magician is also unable to compete with any full-level player in terms of strength, but this reason did not prompt this person to leave his village, but instead continued to stay in this magic cabin with more peace of mind and comfort.
An ordinary novice account lives an eternal novice life - this is the vision that Linyuan Duanshui has always held in his heart, but after what happened this morning, he has doubts about whether this vision can truly be realized.
"First it was the Salted Fish King, then she..."
Looking at the dilapidated ceiling above the wooden bed, Linyuan Duanshui muttered to himself silently: "Could it be Xu Ritian and Duan Qingnian next... hmm."
Did they guess it?
Will they guess I'm here?
Yes, of course they would have guessed that, even to make sure that I would not appear in the virtual world again, they should come over to confirm...
No, that's not right, this was originally a gift I left for them, and they should... be on guard against it.
His eyes slowly opened again. A strange light flashed in the eyes of the magician named Linyuan Duanshui. He remained motionless but did not make any unnecessary movements until there was another sound outside the door.
After hearing the customer's voice, he slowly got up. After dealing with the following transactions, he returned to his room again with a calm expression, and then ignored whether there would be anyone outside to disturb him, and brushed his hands.
He took off his robe and sat on a magic potion experimental table filled with bottles and jars by the window: "Well, just to be prepared..."
"I have to make two more bottles for you too."
The shining magical radiance then illuminated the entire room with the scene of various magic raw materials placed on the experimental tables being mixed with each other, mixed with the elements when they flew up.
Linyuan Duanshui, who was completely unmoved by the whistling sound, became more and more focused, and the movements of his hands became more and more stable. The foam of the potion and the colorful bubbles followed.
The magic crucible in front of him surged back and forth, and finally with an increasingly dangerous burst of light rising on the surface of the crucible, Linyuan Duanshui, who remained calm-faced, then skillfully and quickly removed the magic crucible in the corner of the alchemy table.
A bottle of bright red liquid was poured into the magic crucible in front of him, and then he put his hands together and recited the spell: "... kind earth and free wind, please give your life to the soul in front of me."
"Composite Magic - Life Blooms!"
Emerald green silk threads mixed with golden light were injected into it following the violent reaction of the bright red liquid mixed with the magic crucible. In the burst of countless elements, they were gradually twisted into flying catkins, like miniatures.
A magical virtual image like a towering tree was then displayed above the alchemy table with complicated and exquisite patterns, and finally came together with the virtual grasp of Linyuan Duanshui's hands. The blood-red liquid that was originally extremely unstable then followed
Under the influence of this compound magic, it gradually calmed down, and finally formed a bright red lake shining with the brilliance of various elements. Looking at this scene, Linyuan Duanshui nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to place the alchemy
Take down one of the rows of crystal bottles on the side of the table.
[The refining of the miracle potion is completed.]
The clear system prompts then echoed in the magician's ears. The sound was enough to frighten all other players, but it did not waver him in the slightest. He carefully raised Linyuan Duanshui of the magic crucible and then removed the red
The lake slowly poured into the crystal bottle and blocked it with a wooden cork: "Okay, this is a bottle."
"No wonder I smell something better than wine."
A voice then sounded outside the window where the sun was shining, and at the same time, a player looked at the magician through the window: "So it's you working again."
"...If you want to buy something, please go through the front door." Linyuan Duanshui, who was still sitting in the same place, answered him with a helpless look on his face: "Don't always peek into other people's rooms, okay?"
"Sorry, sorry, I was just passing by here." The accused player waved his hand indifferently, but his sleepy drunken eyes became much clearer afterwards: "But now that I'm here, I suddenly remembered
Something happened."
"That guy who came to me two days ago and insisted on joining the guild when he was a max-level thief...is that you?"
"……it's me."
The silent air left the two people facing each other with the spring breeze, and then Linyuan Duanshui stood up and turned around: "I said, you didn't realize it until now, right?"
"I've been drinking a lot these past few days, so my memory is not very good." The player named Duzui Duxing then smiled and said: "And... there is a top player standing aside and calling me.
No matter what, I can’t get excited."
"I'm sorry, but I was also the one who was forced to take him there." Linyuan Duanshui shrugged his innocent shoulders: "I'm really sorry for disturbing your rest. You can go find the max-level thief to avenge the rest.
"
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."
As if he was not drunk enough to know how much he weighed, Duzui Duxing, who was standing outside the window, waved his hand lazily: "How was the trial?"
"How's it going?" The magician's face gradually became surprised as he answered: "Didn't those two guys report to you?"
"It's because those two guys went again today, that's why I had this problem." Duzui Duxing looked at the other party with his eyes wide open: "Why didn't you go again?"
"...They didn't call me again." Linyuan Duanshui pointed helplessly in the direction of the village entrance: "Maybe they thought I was too stupid, so they didn't take me with them."
"...These two idiots."
Duzui Duxing, who sighed softly and looked up at the sky, replied softly: "Just wait, I will talk to those two people later."
"No, no, no, no, I don't really want to join your flame dragon beast guild." Linyuan Duanshui hurriedly raised his hand and replied: "I am fine staying here now, I don't need any guild to protect me, thank you.
"
"It doesn't matter if it's just you, but..."
After looking up and down with helpless eyes for a while, Du Zui Du Xing finally changed into his previous Du Zui Du Xing appearance: "The people left behind by the two of them are not only you, but also the two newbies.
Where’s the newbie?”
"...It's those two guys." Linyuan Duanshui showed a recalling expression: "That Alastor, and that guy named Murong Qingchun..."
"For some reasons, the eldest lady named Murong Qingchun is our priority."
After standing there and hesitating for a while, the player named Duzui Duxing leaned his back against the window, and lowered his drunken head deeply, speaking in a voice that only the two of them had.
He whispered: "She really wants to join our guild, but she doesn't want people to know her identity... Do you understand?"
"Don't you all know her identity?" Linyuan Duanshui, who was standing in the room, opened his eyes angrily: "You even know the effect she wants to achieve -"
"Shh."
Lifting her hand slightly, Duzui Duxing, who still lowered her head, continued helplessly: "Anyway, because she is a newbie among newbies, this eldest lady is now stuck in Novice Village.
It’s been a long time. Not only is my situation a bit uncomfortable, but I can hardly stand it anymore..."
"Looking at the long friendship between you and me." He shook his head back and forth, and then put on a smile unique to a drunkard: "Can you..."
"How about helping her pass that damn trial?" (To be continued)
