"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
Some time later, in the south of Carlo Village, outside the window toward the back street of the magic house, the figure of the woman in white was coughing continuously with the black smoke rising from the flames, and at the same time using her hands.
Wiping the sweat that was dripping from her forehead, her disheveled white hair had been tied together by a temporary simple wooden hairpin, and her image immediately transformed into that of a classic beautiful woman, trying hard to control herself.
The pile of temporarily generated flames in front of me, and the tears that were smoked out of my eyes gradually increased with the gray-black charcoal marks one after another, slowly appearing on the beautiful plain face: "Huh..."
"It seems...it's really difficult."
There was still a happy smile on her face, she pouted her lips to herself, her eyes gradually became unyielding, and then she ignored the strange looks cast by the players and villagers passing by, and continued to focus on herself.
On top of the fire in front of him - although it was just a joke, Duan Qing still solved the problem of food and clothing for him early. At this time, she who stayed in this place was still struggling to light the fire. In fact, it was because
Duan Qing only left a few jokes: "How many survival skills do you know? Forget about cooking... Can you barbecue?"
"Well, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"Is it difficult or not? It's all relative. Some people are born with such a talent, and some people can't learn it... No matter what you look at, I think you are the latter."
"Hmph, then I'll burn it for you to see!"
Angry eyes appeared again in the light reflected by the pile of thick black smoke flames. She twisted her nose that had been turned into black streaks by the smoke, but the smoke was still rising with the smoke.
The sound of the coughing sound became more and more intense, and together with the smoke from other cooking stoves around Carlo Village, it became more and more obvious: "I said this lady..."
"..."
"Well, well...don't get me wrong, I just want to help you."
Cautiously approaching Xueling Huanbing, a player named Shuoshu then pushed his hands in the face of the cold eyes that suddenly turned his head: "Look at you now, you are trying
Learn how to make a campfire, right? You have too much firewood, and most of it is hardwood that is not easy to light..."
"..."
"Ah, I didn't mean to criticize you, beautiful lady."
With a passionate smile on his face, the man carrying the spear bowed politely. His skills were obviously higher than the level of Novice Village, and then he instantly moved to the other side of the woman in white, with the long spear tip in the air.
Picked out a series of dazzling lines: "I know you don't want to deal with inappropriate people, so I will help you pick out the materials that can be used as fire starters. They are all easy to distinguish. You can separate them.
After it's lit, just slowly add other hardwoods in... Oh, by the way, do you have flint and steel?"
The trajectory of the spear points brought about by the superb marksmanship continued to pass through the air, and finally a few tender pieces of wood were picked out from the pile of firewood next to Xue Ling Huan Bing, and the spear with a whistling sound followed.
Several dazzlingly gorgeous gun flowers were pulled out in the air, and finally disappeared behind the man named Shuoshu as he bent down: "Here, this is my piece, if you don't mind.
…Just take it and use it as you like.”
"……Thanks."
After staring at each other for a while, Xueling Huanbing smiled and took the stone that exuded fiery meaning. The smile that suddenly bloomed on his face then transcended the smoky scorch marks that were randomly scratched on that fair face.
, as if everything around him lost its original color. Also stunned for a moment because of this amazing beauty that could not be concealed, the man with a spear named Shuoshu then coughed to hide the stunning look in his eyes, and his sluggish movements followed.
As the woman once again focused her attention on the fire in front of her and looked away, she became active as if thawing: "Well, um...sister, you are still a novice, right? Are you interested in joining a profession?
Yes? Although our Beast Alliance is not very famous among the alliance, it is still very..."
"No."
A cold voice sounded faintly next to the smoky fire, calmly interrupting the spear player: "I am only at level one now and have no intention of joining any guild."
"Oh, oh, then..." Shuo Shu's mouse-like eyes turned back and forth: "Then how about we become friends with each other? I still have some status in the guild. After you are interested, I will
You can feel free to contact me."
"..."
Without answering the other party's words, Xue Ling Huan Bing quietly raised her head, and turned to the other party again. Her eyes became colder and colder as her eyebrows gradually furrowed. The gradually rising chill then overshadowed her.
The flame that was still burning with thick smoke seemed to have dropped a few degrees, but it suddenly disappeared with the appearance of a man. He appeared from the corner of the magic cabin in front and looked at it with raised eyebrows.
After a long while, he put down the burden in his hands: "What are you..."
"Ah, it's okay, I'm just passing by." Waving his hand towards the other party, Shuoshu's eyes subconsciously scanned the face of the player who just appeared: "Are you...?"
"I am Linyuan Duanshui, the operator of this magic cabin."
Looking up at the other party's ID, Duan Qing smiled and pointed to the wooden window beside him: "Although it is only at the level of Novice Village, our shop still sells magic potions and potions with various effects. If you are interested,
, you are welcome to come and patronize us.”
"……That's good."
Having said these words inexplicably, Shuo Shu, who was carrying a spear, looked up at the hut that Duan Qing was pointing at. After a while, he nodded with a smile and finally missed the man squatting with his back to him.
The woman in white on the ground glanced at her: "We will come to patronize you, for sure."
"……well."
Watching the other party gradually turning away, Duan Qing let out a long sigh. While bending down to pick up the parcels he had thrown on the ground and the pieces of firewood scattered on the ground, he glanced at the woman who had puffed out her cheeks.
One glance: "Beauty brings disaster."
"Thank you for your compliment." Xue Ling Huan Bing pursed her lips angrily: "Next time something like this happens again, I will add him as a friend and see what you do."
"Spare me, we have enough troubles already."
Passing a few pieces of raw meat in the package he bought to the other person's eyes, Duan Qing gestured towards the fire that was still emitting thick smoke: "Can you cook smoked meat?"
"snort."
Xueling Huanbing snatched the raw meat from the opponent's hand and glared angrily at Xueling Huanbing, whose face was covered with traces of smoke: "Do you still have to do it? I'm almost turning into smoked meat in front of you!"
"I have never tasted such beautiful smoked meat."
Hearty laughter and joking admiration then sounded around the magic cabin, and finally stopped as Duan Qing squatted down in the same way: "Maybe every player passing by here wants to have a taste of you.
It’s delicious.”
"Don't even think about it." She gritted her teeth hard, and then looked at Duan Qing with a shy look: "Of course, if it were you..."
"No, no, no, I can't bear it." Duan Qing pushed his hand half-jokingly: "At least you have to make yourself delicious enough. If you look like this now, tsk tsk tsk tsk... ugh
Hey, don’t hit, don’t hit! Be careful if the meat falls into the fire, it’s something I bought with two oceans of hard-earned money..."
"Anyway, those two pieces of ocean must contain what I paid you when I bought the wound medicine, right? I don't care about it!"
The louder and louder sounds of fighting then gradually spread out along the streets and alleys of the small village. Finally, they suddenly quieted down with the roar of an old man. The man and woman who looked at each other then stopped.
They chased each other gradually towards the far side of the village with their own smiles on their faces.
*************************
"Drink!"
A loud howl followed by a scream appeared in the vast wilderness south of Carlo Village. It was the last sound made by a wasteland wolf when it was killed by a final knife.
The white-haired woman who was put to the ground by the monster then wiped the sweat from her forehead, took out a bottle of healing potion and started to drink it. The increasingly powerful feeling then spread throughout her under the gradual effect of the bottle of red potion.
The whole body of the body recovered at the same time as the woman's blood volume lost due to the battle. Feeling all this, Xue Ling Huan Bing then sighed sadly, but her lowered right hand gradually raised to her own
In front of me: "Well..."
"Sure enough, it's still not suitable for me."
Looking at the bloody dagger gradually extending from the front of her arm bitten by a wild wolf, Xue Ling Huan Bing whispered to herself softly, her jade-like fingers tightening and loosening along with her movements.
She rubbed the handle of the dagger back and forth for a while, and finally disappeared into the air as she gradually put away her posture. The cold wind then passed over the wilderness, giving this woman, who was still wearing a novice village suit,
The commoner woman brought waves of coldness. She was awakened from her thoughts and then dropped the body of the wild wolf. She hugged her shoulders and started walking towards a lonely tent not far away.
.It was already the time when the sun was shining brightly, and the players who had formed a team early to set out for the adventure had become much sparser. The woman who seemed to have been accustomed to this atmosphere then opened the door made of old oilcloth.
He opened the door curtain and ducked into the tent. Looking at the scene of various iron tools scattered on the ground, Xue Ling Huan Bing squatted down with a distressed look on his face. His mood had become relaxed because of the task assigned by Duan Qing.
As I tried during this period, I gradually became entangled: "So... what should I try next?"
"The rest include hammers, iron rods, long sticks, and spears... Well, are they all long weapons? Can I use such a long weapon with my current strength? And this iron glove... normal close-quarters
Shouldn’t the fighting equipment be gloves? What is this glove-like thing?”
Muttering these strange words, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes wandered back and forth on the weapons scattered on the ground for a long time. However, the focus of his wandering eyes was on an iron long sword that suddenly came into view.
She became confused. The arms around her knees gradually tightened, and she quietly stared at the outline of the weapon that was so familiar to her. Her thoughts that were about to fall into memories were later interrupted by her head that suddenly shook.
Interrupted, and at the same time, her heavy breathing came gradually: "No, no, Chu Lingbing, you can't make the same mistake again."
"How's it going? Have you made your choice?"
The voice belonging to Duan Qing then sounded in her ears, and at the same time, a figure in a gray magic robe opened the door curtain and appeared on the side: "Do you have any favorite weapons?"
"I haven't finished the trial yet." He was answered by Xue Ling Huan Bing with a cute expression on his face: "And you actually asked me to find a wild wolf to test it? How can anyone let a first-level trumpet practice against such a monster?
!”
"It is true that ordinary first-level newcomers cannot deal with monsters like wild wolves, but you will definitely have no problem." Duan Qing sat down and shook his head nonchalantly: "Looking at you... you should be able to do it with ease now, right?"
"I've already drank five bottles of medicine." Xue Ling Huan Bing glared at himself: "I want to drink you up."
"Three yuan a bottle, ten yuan three bottles."
Duan Qing said the previous slogan with a smile, and once again dodged a dagger thrown by the woman: "Okay, okay, you can drink as much as you want. Before you decide on the weapon you want to practice,
, I will always provide for you.”
"..."
Without answering the other party's words immediately, Xue Ling Huan Bing remained silent for a moment. The smile that originally hung on his face because of Duan Qing's arrival also slowly converged into the movement of lowering his head along with his wandering eyes. Inadvertently,
Glancing at the reflective iron sword closest to the woman, Duan Qing let out a slight sigh in his heart. He placed the adventurer uniform with wolf skin sewn on it in his hand on the other side.
Then he stood up and lifted the curtain and walked out: "Since we haven't decided yet, let's put this wolfskin suit here for now."
"Whenever you decide, tell me again."
In the scene where the cold wind of late spring and the high sun intertwined, he walked quietly to the far side of the tent, and then in the silent silence, slowly submerged into the edge of the forest belonging to the Gemenan Jungle.
.The rustling sound gradually came from the depths of the woods, and at the same time, the embarrassed figure of an adventurer carrying a huge backpack gradually emerged. Duan Qing, who did not show any surprise on his face, followed.
He touched his nose and met the NPC dressed as an adventurer: "Finally out?"
"It's not all because of you."
Panting, he walked up to Duan Qing. Art dropped the package heavily on the ground, then rubbed his sore waist and replied angrily. (To be continued)
