Chapter 37 Harvest (Part 2)
It seems that in order to relieve the discomfort and embarrassment caused by taking off clothes, the two people who were relatively silent in the past seemed to talk a little, and were trying to find a suitable topic-
"It was me who miscalculated today. I didn't expect it to be different from what I thought. I almost lost my life. I'm so sorry."
"This kind of apology... is really weird. I don't think there is anything to be sorry for if I can't beat this guy." Sally turned around and looked at the corpse of the Scorpion King. The other party had more than ten arrows inserted into his eye sockets, which looked like a bunch of antennas inserted into his head, which looked a bit funny.
"Will you meet such a guy later?"
"It's gone, this one. But it's really a deadly guy, he almost died..."
At first, it was a sigh of life after the disaster. Gradually, Sally changed her words and said, "You said you were smarter than me before, and I just thought that was your pretending. But now it seems that I have to admit this."
"I'm just experienced. To put it bluntly, if you hadn't turned around and ran away when I was knocked away, we would probably both of us would have died here." Roddy also breathed out, a little bit self-blame and annoyance, "It was me who neglected some problems, which caused you to be bitten by the scorpion so many times-"
"By the way... I always wondered - why is it okay after you were knocked away? The last time I faced an orc, I clearly saw you hit the back by that orc - were you..."
Sally had been exploring these things since she sat here. Now she finally found the right time to propose them. She stared at Roddy without blinking, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice in disbelief: "Are you... are you the undead? Are you... immortal?"
"Ah snee..."
Roddy sneezes and touches his nose, but suddenly he feels that the girl beside him is really cute. He didn't know how to explain it yet, and immediately thinks that the reason is good, and replied jokingly: "Oh--I didn't expect that, I'll let you see it."
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Sally looked at Roddy's face as if she was obsessed, and her expression suddenly became very exciting.
The next second, screams echoed throughout the forest.
"ah--"
Sally wanted to retreat like an electric shock, but her legs were weak but she fell backwards and almost turned around. She really believed Roddy's words. After all, this girl had never seen the real undead look. In addition, Roddy had mentioned the question about the undead before, and she combined the two in her mind for a moment, and she really regarded Roddy as the legendary undead people walking in the cemetery, shaking and cold all over...
When Sally thought of her holding such a guy in the water just now, she felt like she was about to be scared to tears.
Roddy was completely stunned. He didn't expect that this young lady was quite smart just now, but why did her IQ suddenly drop again? He looked at Sally who was "turning on her back", opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly felt her throat was a little dry. She looked ahead blankly, and her expression became even more exciting than Sally...
The girl in front of her was covered in leopard skin with naked body. She raised her head so embarrassingly and fell to the ground. Although the leopard skin was not small, it could not cover her lower body at all...
If it were said to be "exposed", I'm afraid Sally would almost "leave" in the sky...
Well, it's so white, um...why is it golden?
When this consciousness passed through his mind, Roddy realized what he saw--when he thought of the four words "Don't look at it inappropriately", he swallowed, used his strong willpower to move his eyes away, turned his face and said loudly: "Don't... don't take it seriously, I'm joking... It's not that, don't be afraid!"
Sally got up in panic and covered herself with leopard skin. Her face, which was so white just now, turned red like a chameleon after hearing Roddy's words-
In her heart, Roddy had accumulated some good impressions and was instantly ruined. Sally was so angry that she almost bit her lips. The desire to rush over and punch and kick was not enough to describe her resentment... Sally even wanted to bite Roddy to death before she felt relieved!
Although Roddy was dull with women, no matter how stupid he was at this time, he realized that he had done too much. He stuttered and said he wanted to get some food. He picked up the package and got up and ran away in the animal skin, leaving Sally sitting in front of the fire without saying a word.
"Battle asshole asshole asshole asshole asshole asshole asshole asshole...!"
Sally clenched her fists tightly, and her silver teeth almost shattered. She looked at Roddy's back as she ran away in panic, wanted to say a few harsh words, but she couldn't say it because of her cultivation. In the end, she just waved her fist back in anger and stopped saying a word.
Roddy ran far before stopping, shook her head, and found that the golden color he had just seen in his mind... Alas, I have seen this kind of thing many times online in my previous life, why are you so uneasy at this time?
The technical otakus Roddy patted his face, thought about it, and decided to count the gains after the battle to eliminate this messy mood. If he couldn't beat him back, he would just be beaten. Anyway, he shouldn't die.
Thinking of this, he took out his luggage and first took out the poison bag left by the scorpion.
【Scorpion King Gilges's poison sac】
Quest item unique
"The female scorpion will use all the venom to fight enemies that block its breeding, even if it will kill it."
The notes below the poison sac made Roddy frown. It was not difficult for him to think of a possible fact - this scorpion king named Gilgers should be breeding its next generation. Could it be that the scorpion it gave birth to is the guy named "Sericks"?
The male scorpion can only mate twice in his life, while the female scorpion can only give birth once. In the current situation, Roddy believes that he seems to have nipped the unborn "Serix" in his mother's belly. Thinking of the scene where the Scorpion King went to eat fish in the trap just now, Roddy understood a little... Perhaps because of the reason for giving birth, his desire for food is much greater than usual.
This poison sac has no effect on Roddy. Although the item level is not low, it now seems meaningless except for poisoning weapons. After putting away the poison sac, Roddy looked at his character attributes - because he killed the boss across the level, the experience value this scorpion brought him far exceeds the total of the previous battles, reaching an astonishing 2580 points!
This made him only 2,000 points away from level 5 after he was promoted to level 4, and even he himself did not expect the upgrade speed to be so fast. Thinking that he was getting closer and closer to the transfer threshold of level 10, Roddy realized that he had to make fulfilling preparations in advance.
The reason I think so is because there is a very common saying in the game - "Only after you change your job, you can understand the essence of the game."
For Roddy now, the basic professional legion soldiers can only bring him some of the most basic skills. After the basic level 10, he can add points to the "basic talent tree" to improve himself. After the transfer, he will be able to unlock "advanced professional talent tree" and "combat posture", "self-selected skills" and other abilities that have a great influence on combat. Compared with now, it can even be called a difference.
Before level 10, the differences between players are nothing more than one or two basic skills and attributes.
At this moment, Roddy, whose level has reached level 4, has reached 180 points of health, and his strength and agility have been enhanced. The so-called high risk and high return is acceptable to the current result. At least Sally saved his life, and he has gained a lot of experience. The upgraded blood recovery bug left him without any wounds, so the next "way to escape" seems to be easier for Roddy.
There are six arrows left at hand that can only be used. The horn bow scimitar is normal. As a result, Roddy, who originally wanted to relax and lie for a while, dared not take it lightly again. Looking at Sally, who seemed to have stabilized his emotions and gradually fell asleep, Roddy still found a tree stump to sit down and began to "stand guard" silently.
But he didn't know that the girl covered in leopard skin clenched her fist not far away and resisted the desire to say something.
……………………………..
At the same moment, Francis, who was still in Vic Village, could no longer sit still.
Waiting is always a torment. For him who has made up his mind to eradicate his sister, he can't let it go if he can't wait for news of Sally's death for a minute. The cavalry brigade that Consedon rushed out almost searched all the places where he could detect. Logically speaking, even if Sally could dig a hole like a groundhog to hide, they could at least find some traces.
But the actual situation made him feel chilled: no one could find any clues, and even his footprints could not be found.
Ten orc wolves were dead when they said they died. It seemed that they were still dead at the hands of one person. The bodies of Lao Gesen and others were also found. It seemed that they had fought desperately with the orcs. They actually chopped down three wolf cavalry before they fell down. I think they were fighting with the belief that they would die.
This even more shows that Sally could not escape the orc siege, but the fact that she disappeared out of thin air was placed in front of her, and no one could do anything about it.
When Francis thought that Sally might survive, he felt extremely irritated - he understood the abilities of the strong men under his command and in his territory. There might be several powerful guardian knights with the father of the Duke of Hollier City who could have such strength, but in the entire outer fortress and these remote areas, who could say that he could fight ten wolf cavalry one-on-one?
Moreover, the tragic battlefield also shows that the other party did not kill ten people easily, and they used bows and arrows with accurate shooting skills. There were too few people who met this condition - at least in Frances' impression, no one in the entire territory was famous for their "shooting skills".
Could it be a wood elf?
But after thinking about it, the wood elves in Jingyu Forest seemed to have nothing to do with humans, so this absurd idea was given up.
He was in a bad mood now, but he couldn't wait in Vic Village forever, otherwise his father would have no way to explain it - although his father is so indifferent that he doesn't care about his affairs with Sally, Francis would not think that such things could be fooled. So now he feels like walking on thin ice and dare not make any mistakes at all.
"Let the Knights of Mex send troops to continue patrolling, along the path outside Hollier."
"Yes, sir!"
The confidant took the order and left. Francis then rode the horse prepared by his servants for himself and said in a low voice: "Return to Hollier City immediately. Even if she can escape my pursuit, she will still have to approach the city gate openly."
The soldiers accompanying him collected their equipment and then followed the count towards the center of the Iversa Territory in the southeast.
Francis believed that with his speed of riding, Sally was never able to return to Hollier City one step ahead of her.
There was actually a premonition in his heart. That was that Sally hid in the Jingyu Forest - but if she was really stupid enough to that point, Francis would breathe a sigh of relief, because after entering that forest, he would basically not fantasize about walking out alive.
Every year, hundreds of people go deep into this forest in the Iversta territory, and basically no news ends. For many years, no adventurers who have lived across the inside have appeared. There are people who lucky enough to hunt strange monsters on the outside and sell them for a high price, but basically no one dares to return to this forest again because they deeply feel fear - there are some things in this forest that no one can compete with, and the ancestors of the Russiflon family set rules: never step into the Jingyu Forest.
"At this time... I don't have enough time and patience to wait."
Francis looked at the dark forest outline on the side of the road with his gloomy face, and he couldn't help but curse the damn orcs in his heart. But when he thought of the agreements he had reached with Sarota, he swallowed the words, waved the reins, and ran away.
