The guide came to the central area. Yesterday, because of that poor mage, my plan to find out information fell through. Today, I will definitely gain something. I am also rushing out to practice. I need to know the adventurer level of Kurast. It's generally between 30-40, and I'm currently at level 27. It's so embarrassing to tell anyone.
However, in the early morning, those adventurers who had just returned from the death front naturally could not get up so early. When I came to the Green Forest Bar, I found that there were not even two kittens inside, and only a few waiters were cleaning leisurely. To cope with the coming wave of adventurers.
In desperation, I had no choice but to pick up a copy of Adventurer's Weekly and read it carefully.
"The team received a golden double-edged ax in the skinning cellar of the Skinning Forest..."
Double-edged axe, it’s just so-so stuff. Is it necessary to report it? Looking at the picture printed on the weekly magazine, which shows a happy scene of a team of adventurers carefully holding an ax and giggling, I blinked my mouth and thought in a way that a full man doesn't know how hungry a man is.
"The team failed to lure the enemy in Cui Fanke. They were destroyed by the evil hands - Ismael and the Finger of Fire - Gilleb, and fled back in embarrassment." Evil hands? Fingers of fire? Asshole? Haha, the person who wrote this news is so talented. I didn’t expect that dark people are also very creative.
The members of the Kurast Council are monsters that can make all adventurers change their minds. They were once the supreme leaders of Zakarum and were deeply loved by the people, but they were later captured by Mephisto. Manipulation has become an existence that scares everyone. I don’t know how many adventurers have died tragically at their hands. There are eight members of Cui Fanke’s council alone. The most speechless thing is that three of them are actually B-level. , respectively Ismail, the evil hand, and Gilleb, the finger of fire. There is also Ice Fist Tok, and other ordinary council members are not inferior to elite monsters in strength. Even I dare not rush in rashly. The only way for ordinary adventurers to deal with them is to use luring tactics to kill them. Separate and annihilate one by one, so to speak. Being chased by members of the council is definitely not an embarrassing thing. On the contrary, if you can escape in such a situation, you will be sought after by adventurers. Therefore, although the language of this message is a bit vicious, the content is still inclined to praise... …
By the way, Mephisto's home base, the third floor of the Hatred Cage, also has three small B-level council members, namely Brim, the Fist of Sparks. The Void Finger Venn and the Dragon Hand Mav, but they are not together. Therefore, they are relatively easy to bully compared to Trevank's council members, but you must be careful and don't be careless because of this. Maybe there is a Blood King (The Exile) hidden next to them who can give your team a fatal blow at any time. of the final body), or even ordinary members of parliament.
The next news is...
"The team unfortunately failed in the battle to challenge Mephisto. Only two of the six members of the team are left. Let us mourn for these dead brothers. They are worthy of respect. Warriors, and hope that the living can mourn. Get up again , avenge the dead comrades, and defeat the crazy forces of hell..."
Looking at the solemn atmosphere filled with every word, I couldn't help but remain silent for a while. Yes, this is the Dark Continent, a world where human lives are like grass. How many powerful adventurers can survive to the third world? ? Even in the third world. So what? What awaits will be a more cruel and never-ending battle...
Life always ends in death. No one can avoid this. It's just the difference between good death and bad death. Just in the time of living. You do it for yourself. What difference does it leave for others. And we adventurers. It seems destined that the option of a good death cannot be chosen. fighting. Keep fighting. And then died in battle. This is our destiny. There is no way to escape. No time to regret. Just the constant waving of weapons. Use the enemy's life to delay your own death time...
Um. Seems to be stuck in a heavy topic. Here is a little tip for you. When talking freely with other adventurers. Never mention sensitive words like "fate". Otherwise you will experience cold field pleasure. Meet an adventurer with a bad temper. Perhaps it was your "destiny" that the young mage appeared yesterday.
At this moment. Just think of my little angel Sarah. A thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket, Velas. and two precious daughters. You can cheer up immediately. This is based on experience. Hum. I'm awesome.
Adjust your mood. I continue to focus on the next message.
"The dwarfs are moving... in large numbers..." Khan. Could it be another incident like the monster attack at Rogge's camp? I continued reading in a cold sweat.
"It seems to be related to the elves..."
"Damn, there really are elves..."
I couldn't help but scream. Of course, I knew the existence of the elves. What I meant was that the mysterious elves in the past were actually put on the table so easily?
"Nonsense, of course. Judging from the fuss you make, you must be an adventurer who has just come to Kurast. Hum, cheer for this. Soon you will be able to have a glimpse of the "legendary" elves. "
A proud voice came from the side. Hey, it seemed familiar. I put the magazine down from my face and turned around to look...
"It's you!!"
The two people couldn't help but exclaimed in unison. The person who just spoke was the young mage who was bullied miserably by Princess Sanwu and I yesterday. He seemed to be called Fake Squid or something...
"It's Phoenix, Slife Phoenix. Didn't you say yesterday that I look like your cousin? Why did you forget it in the blink of an eye!!" As if he guessed what I was thinking from the confused expression on my face, this tragic mage He almost shouted at me.
"Oh, yes, it's little Slifu. Long time no see. How are you?" I suddenly realized.
"Long time no see. Please don't call me Slife, call me Phoenix, do you understand?" Phoenix found that he couldn't maintain his usual calmness and elegance in front of this devil in black. He paused, looked at me and asked road.
"Hey, I don't seem to know your name yet." The look in his eyes couldn't be more clear: Boy, take it easy, I already gave my name yesterday. You should also know some manners as a human being.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I am Wu Fan, a level 27 druid Wu Fan, 26 years old, married. Currently I have three young and beautiful wives, and two smart and lovely twin daughters..."
"Shut up, wife and daughter. You want to stimulate me, right? Right! Eh? Wait, you said you are only level 27 and 26 years old? You are lying!! Haha, it must be a lie, what? possible……"
"Do you think I'm lying to you?"
I took a leisurely sip of juice, folded the magazine and put it down, even though this guy named Phoenix was easy to trick. But at this point I really didn't lie to him.
"How could there be a 26-year-old level 27 adventurer? Did you change professions at the age of 16? And how could a level 27 adventurer come to Kurast? Who are you kidding? You idiot! Don't think that I will do it if you drink juice in a bar. I believe you."
Seeing that I didn't look like I was faking it, Phoenix slapped the table and stood up. He shouted in disbelief. Fortunately, there was no one else in the bar except a few waiters, otherwise he would have become the center of attention instantly.
Ordinary adventurers can be considered geniuses if they can change professions before the age of 30 - except for mages, because in addition to qualifications, they rely heavily on blood. For example, the Horadric clan, even if they are fourteen or fifteen years old Changing jobs is not a rare thing. In history, I have never heard of anyone being able to change jobs before the age of 20. No wonder Phoenix didn’t believe it (Note: Job transfer here refers to job changers, not mercenaries. Mercenaries are much easier than job transfers. Just like Princess Sanwu can become a level 15 mage at the age of 15. Of course, this It’s also related to her talent IQ and monster-spawn leveling).
"Of course not, I changed jobs at the age of 23..."
I drank up the juice in one gulp and glared at Phoenix, you bastard. Do you have any problem with me drinking juice? No one stipulates that juice represents age level.
"23 years old, that makes sense... Wait, you lied to me again. From 23 to 26 years old, you were promoted from level 1 to level 27 in 3 years. Oh my God, I would rather believe that you changed professions at the age of 16. of."
Phoenix was dancing and spitting, almost going crazy. He was sure that the other party was deceiving him. But what's with those eyes that look completely disdainful of deception?
"Okay, okay. Actually, I lied to you. I am 46 years old. That's all."
I gave it up and didn't want to get entangled with the other party on this boring issue. He couldn't think of it. I can only say that he couldn't wrap his head around it. Could it be that what he didn't have before couldn't have it now? How can human beings progress and civilization be promoted? No wonder he is so easily deceived...
"That makes sense."
Phoenix sat down depressedly. Although he seemed to have won the argument and exposed the other party's lies, for some reason, he didn't feel any joy. He always felt that this victory was because the other party was perfunctory with him. It would be better to continue arguing. People are in a good mood.
It has to be said that Phoenix has a personality that pays great attention to details and likes to get entangled.
"By the way, there's also the person next to me, my maid Morissa Hein, 17 years old, level 22 mage mercenary..."
Looking at Princess Sanwu who had been sitting next to me silently drinking tea, I introduced her. It would be even harder to ask Maurice to introduce herself. She had already bullied the mage badly enough yesterday, so let him go. Bar.
By the way, little Jasmine, can you really bring your own tea in a bar?
"It turns out to be Miss Hein. Hello, my name is Slife Phoenix. If you don't mind, I..."
Princess Sanwu glanced at Phoenix, who was chattering endlessly, and immediately made him swallow back half of what he said, and laughed. I guess it is very likely that Princess Sanwu's evil intentions have left a lasting impression in his heart. Obliterate the shadow, poor child.
"Ahem, okay, you said it in such detail, I'm too embarrassed to hide it..." In order to avoid the embarrassment caused by Princess Sanwu, Phoenix coughed a few times and said loudly.
No, we are not interested in your background. I picked up the weekly magazine again, and Princess Sanwu picked up the tea cup again.
"The name needs no introduction, profession, level 35 wandering wizard, 51 years old, an unmarried and sad poet full of intellectuality and sensibility who finally realized the importance of home at the age of 50..."
51 years old? When I heard this number, I almost couldn't swallow it. I can't imagine that this little white-faced wizard is already a 5-year-old uncle. However, with the lifespan of an adventurer, it is not impossible if he takes better care of himself. It's just that this is too surprising, no matter how you look at it. His appearance and personality are that of someone in his twenties or thirties.
Also, what’s up with that disgusting introduction at the end? Do you really want to emphasize that you're in puberty?
In addition, the word "Wanderer" he added in front of his profession also caught my attention. It seemed a bit familiar. I scratched my head and thought about it, and finally remembered the introduction to them from Kane's book: Wanderers. , a kind of adventurer who is unwilling to assume the obligations of alliance adventurers, but there is a difference between them and the degenerates who act recklessly. They are always alone. Traveling around the continent with a self-satisfied attitude, knowing how to restrain one's own power, from time to time I feel that I should do something for the entire Dark Continent. Unfortunately, such thoughts often do not last for a few days, so they are always hesitant and indecisive. They are characterized by optimism, cheerfulness, rich experience, and they are easier to deceive...
BINB, absolutely correct. Kane is truly worthy of being a great scholar. This introduction seems to have been written with reference to the man in front of me.
After Phoenix’s introduction. He just kept staring at me, and couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw that I still looked bored.
"Brother Wu Fan, you are one of the few who didn't show disdain after hearing about my identity. Although your mouth is a bit venomous, I have made you a friend." After saying this, he poured the ground in the cup in one breath. Drink up the ale. He looked quite happy.
No, I think it's because my disdain for you has reached its limit and can't be increased any more. And who's mouth is so poisonous? Who said I want to make friends with you? Don't feel good about yourself, you bastard, go and cool down.
Because wanderers are unwilling to take on the responsibilities of ordinary adventurers, they will always be more or less despised by some adventurers, just like hard-working top students who treat those guys who play all day long but maintain average or above-average grades. Just as dismissive. Think they are obviously capable. But he is unwilling to study hard and only knows how to have fun all day long. In fact, I think there should be some element of jealousy in it. Who doesn’t want to live a carefree life?
If I hadn’t gotten to know Lal and Willas and the others, I might have become a wanderer. Let the magical girl do the great task of saving the world, and then I would just come back and be my wife, giving her the power to save the world. A girl's happy life, I can be considered as indirectly saving the world, hmm... Because wandering adventurers are always alone, their upgrade speed is generally much slower. Of course, instead, they have richer resources than ordinary adventurers. With more experience and a keener insight into danger, if you want to be a ranger in the dangerous darkness, you will definitely not be able to do it without a few unique skills.
"By the way, the proprietress of the hotel said that if you come back again, your third leg will be broken. Aren't you afraid?"
I asked while reading the weekly magazine. There is really a lot of news about the elves. Maybe in the near future, I will be lucky enough to witness the elf family. Legend has it that they are all handsome men and beauties. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but of course, the elf princess, who has a 95% chance of appearing in vulgar novels, also makes me a little jealous.
"Tsk, tsk, I just said you are still young. What is the most important thing for us adventurers? Do you understand the information? I have already found out clearly that the boss lady usually doesn't get up until three o'clock in the sun. She doesn't even know this. Really? I don’t know how your team got into Kurast.”
Phoenix told me a very unreasonable answer with a very knowledgeable expression.
Team? His words touched me a little. Do I really have a so-called team now? Maybe, for example, the little ghost with Jiajiaxue, the Sanwu Princess who ignores my identity as the master, the dead dog who can only be angry with me, the little mermaid who can sing songs that make people sleep, Thinking about it this way, my team is really a bit magical. "But it seems that the maid named Oona is no longer here."
I looked around, but I didn't find the maid. Although it was just a glimpse yesterday, it was enough for me to remember her appearance, because she is a beauty...
"Yes, it must be the damn boss lady who told her not to come here for the time being. Damn it, this murderer who kills marriage, the punishment of the goddess of love will come to her sooner or later." Phoenix punched the table hard. on his face, his expression was quite angry. It was as if she was really the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl being torn apart by the Queen Mother of the West.
However, I think he is more like Ximen Qing...
"Forget it, Oona isn't here, let's go find the next target." Phoenix stood up and clenched his fists with the aura of a third-rate coach who said, "We lost the Champions League, but we still have the League Cup."
I responded boredly. He listened without raising his head as Phoenix opened the bar door.
"Waiter, pay."
About 10 seconds later, I snapped my fingers, paid for the juice and the weekly, and hurriedly followed Phoenix with Princess Sanwu.
What, why do you want to follow? Don't you think Phoenix was born with the face of a tragic character? Aren't you curious how he will be dumped this time?
However, Phoenix is worthy of being a wandering adventurer, and his vigilance is even higher than Amazon's, and I haven't followed him for more than a few minutes. He was discovered. Why are you following me? You obviously looked indifferent just now. "Phoenix looked at me warily.
"Well, it's nothing. It's just that I think as a friend, shouldn't I cheer for you the moment you succeed?" I flattered you against my will.
"That's it. If that's the case, I'll let you follow me, but please don't make trouble for me later." Phoenix seemed very happy to hear what I said.
I nodded indifferently, feeling that even if I didn't cause trouble, he would be destined to end in tragedy.
"Listen to me, this time the goal is very sure. I have been close since last month and have developed a good impression of each other."
Last month, I seemed to know why the maid named Oona rejected Phoenix. A man who sweetly confesses his love to you on the one hand, but on the other hand touches girls from other places, as long as he still has the consciousness of a decent woman, I'm afraid he won't. You will like it. As for why Oona knows, it is not surprising. Don't forget she is a maid working in a bar. Where is a bar? The place where gossip is most concentrated.
"I think I know why you were dumped by Ona." I said bluntly, hoping that this guy would wake up and maybe there would be time to win back the heart of the maid named Ona.
"Are you saying that I am half-hearted? Is that so? Oh----, maybe it is true, but how can you understand the sorrow of a man who has been rejected by 53 girls in a row in a year? People I always prepare a way out for myself, what's wrong with that?" My words seemed to hit Phoenix's pain point, and he immediately jumped up like a grasshopper and roared.
Congratulations, you have perfectly matched Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Led by Phoenix. Probably more than an hour passed. We came to the northern district of Kurast, the so-called civilian area. After walking around for a while, we stopped in front of a dilapidated cabin.
"Lena, are you there? I'm Phoenix."
"Hey, Lord Phoenix, I'm coming."
A girl's voice came from inside the room, and her tone was filled with joy. Could it be that the tragic Phoenix was finally about to blossom and bear fruit after experiencing 53 love breakups?
Soon, the door was opened, and a pretty girl who was plainly dressed and a little pale and thin due to long-term lack of nutrition came out. The most eye-catching thing was the two sweet dimples on her face, and her smile was very simple and cute.
Phoenix looked at me proudly, as if to say, look, my friend has good taste.
"Lena, how have you been lately?" After casting a glance at me, Phoenix turned back and said to the girl in a gentle voice that made my skin crawl all over.
"Yes, thanks to your help, my mother's illness is much better. You are really the savior of our family." Lina expressed gratitude from the bottom of her heart, and bowed deeply to Phoenix with moist eyes.
It turns out that this guy actually used the target's relatives to achieve the purpose of capturing the target, but I have to say that this is indeed a method with a high success rate.
Just when Phoenix couldn't hide his pride and I was marveling that this guy finally got the results, the tragedy had just begun.
"Lina, who's here?" A rough male voice came from inside the house.
"My dear, it's the kind-hearted mage I told you."
Hearing the sound, Lina immediately laughed sweetly, and then, a tall, thick, and hairy man with bare breasts walked out of the room, and Lina also put her arm around her with a look of happiness on her face. He grabbed the opponent's arm that was thicker than his own legs.
Honey?
Phoenix's expression was a little confused, obviously he hadn't reacted yet, or maybe he didn't want to react.
"Mr. Phoenix, this is my husband Audi. We just got married a few days ago." Lina introduced with a blush on her face.
"Hello, respected mage, my name is Audi. Because I sell pork, everyone calls me Pork Dee." The rough man scratched his head naively and saluted Phoenix respectfully.
"My dear, Lord Phoenix is our savior. Without him, my family would have collapsed long ago, and I would never have met you." Lina looked at her husband lovingly.
"Dear, then we should really thank the Master."
Zhu Zhudi glanced at his wife tenderly, then his face became solemn, and he and Lina bowed to Phoenix together.
"Master Phoenix, thank you so much. You are such a good person."
In the end, it was me who carried Phoenix, who was already stiff, and left.
"It doesn't matter, he is just so happy to see that Lina you can find a home." I said to the sweet newlywed couple.
"Why, why is this happening?"
Facing the swaying lake water, Phoenix murmured to himself after waking up and fell into a state of madness.
"Don't be discouraged. Maybe Lina just feels that the gap between them is too big, so she doesn't dare to think about it at all." I must be a friend enough to come up with such a perfect lie.
"Yes, that must be the case."
Oh, Phoenix cheered up immediately. He was worthy of being a man who had fallen out of love 53... no, 54 times.
Saying this, he suddenly stood up and glanced around the area, as if he was planning to heal himself with a new round of love. Didn't he mention that there is a saying that the best way to forget a lost love is to move on and find another love?
Soon, he found his target, and walked up majestically, waving his hands like a magician, and waving again, his left hand turned into a rose, and his right hand turned into candy, and then he knelt on one knee in front of a man who was only about five or six years old. year old girl in front.
"This lovely little sister, are you interested in making a ten-year appointment with your uncle?"
Hey hey! ! What do you want to do, you pervert?
The little girl held her fingers in her mouth, her eyes fell on the candy, and she showed an expression of wanting to eat it.
"Xiao Lin, what are you doing? Come here quickly."
At this time, a boy about the same age as the girl cried out behind her. Upon hearing the voice, the little girl immediately turned away under Phoenix's dull eyes, but after running a few steps, she turned around again. , ran back slowly, letting Phoenix's eyes show a glimmer of light again...
I still didn’t want to give up on perfect attendance, so I asked for leave in the afternoon and tried the 1W2 challenge. As a third-rate author who relies on perfect attendance, I felt a lot of pressure.
