The morning sun shone on Adam's face. He stretched out, climbed up, and went out to the nearby stream to wash himself briefly.
The first thing Adam did when he got home was to open his backpack and take out the painted woman.
Just as he was admiring it carefully, the woman's voice sounded again: "The painting is quite good."
Adam looked up in surprise. In the corner of his roof, where the sun could not reach, two points of blood-red light were flashing.
The woman who thought Adam would be happy to have him back, but the first time she saw him, she still took out a quill and drew something on her portrait.
After a while Adam revealed the answer. He added a small bat on the woman's shoulder.
Adam happily showed it to the woman, but there was no response from the other party. Adam didn't mind, waved to the other party and left.
Seeing Adam leaving, the bat in the darkness also closed its eyes: "Even in another world, the sunlight is still annoying."
Adam expertly walked through a forest and came to a road. In the distance, he could see the central island where the entrance to the dungeon was connected by eight bridges.
There is an endless stream of shops and adventurers on the central island, but Adam is not here for shopping or adventure today. He comes to the adventurer ranking list, takes out the portrait in his pocket and compares it with the first-place adventurer. .
In the end, he confirmed that the person he met was not the legendary adventurer Xia Lutina, but a very similar person.
Although he was a little disappointed, the other party's powerful power still made Adam yearn for it. As a weak cartographer, he must find a strong and reliable partner if he wants to explore deeper places.
Adam thought of this, rummaged in his bag for a while, gritted his teeth and entered a store.
The boss was not busy with business. When he saw Adam entering the door, he was a little surprised and asked, "Isn't this Adam? You actually came out of it."
Adam did not respond to the question, but asked the boss: "White, how much does the cheapest translation snail cost?"
The boss narrowed his eyes and said: "This is a good thing. The cheapest one costs about 700 gorons. Do you have a new partner?"
Adam felt relieved when he heard the price. He handed out a gorgeous gem from his hand and said to the boss, "This should be enough, right?"
The boss narrowed his eyes, looked at it carefully and replied: "There is no fluctuation of magic power, it is just an ordinary gemstone, only two hundred gorons at most."
Adam heard this and put away the gems. It seemed that his most valuable possessions were not enough.
"However, we are old friends, so I'll give you a friendship price of three hundred gorons." The boss said to Adam slyly.
"But it's still not enough." Adam replied frustratedly.
The boss smiled even brighter: "It doesn't matter, you can take it first, as long as you sign an agreement with me..."
After Adam returned home excitedly, he saw that the woman who had turned into a bat was still here. Adam quickly took out the translation conch and said to it: "I am Adam, thank you for saving me. Did you see me if you never left me?" You think the picture you drew is very good, do you want to team up with me?"
After saying that, he held the translation conch to the bat, and a woman's figure slowly appeared in a black mist.
Picking up the translation conch in Adam's hand, he responded after listening to his words: "No, I just got lost, and it was just a coincidence that I came here."
This is a fact. When she turned into a bat and flew into the sky, there was an endless sea in the distance, which she could not cross by flying.
After flying aimlessly in a circle, she looked at the sky turning white. She knew that the day she hated was coming, and there was a dilapidated wooden house under her that looked like no one would live in it. "Let's take shelter for now."
Unexpectedly, when she came in, there was not only the young man with whom she had a close relationship. Looking at the simple environment, the woman also understood that this young man was not living a good life.
But this has nothing to do with her, as long as she escapes during the day, she will find a way to leave here at night.
After listening to her story, Adam responded: "There will be ships to pick up and drop off regularly, but the cost is very high. I have no money now. The translator will have to pay White fifty gold every month."
After hearing this, the woman asked him: "Why do you spend so much money just to say a few words to me when you are like this?"
Adam replied: "I initially thought you were the number one adventurer, because you are indeed similar, but after my confirmation, you are not, but you are still the most powerful person I have ever seen. I want to team up with you." .”
"Who is the number one adventurer you are talking about?" the woman asked.
"Her name is Xia Lutina. She was the captain of the Blood Moon Wheel, the only expedition team to explore the entire dungeon more than a hundred years ago. Her deeds are still the driving force for all adventurers to move forward."
"It was indeed her." The woman said with some resentment, "What happened next."
"She disappeared after her last adventure, and her team members didn't know what happened to her. Some said she died in the dungeon, while others said she entered another world to continue her adventure. But at least here, she has become a legend."
The young man's eyes were full of yearning: "It is a pity that the cartographer did not come back during their last adventure, and the other surviving team members were unable to describe it in detail, so the secret of the last layer is still unknown."
At this point, Adam's expression became serious, and he said to the woman: "So I want to team up with you to go on an adventure in the dungeon!"
"I don't care about treasures or anything like that, as long as I can follow you to complete the map of this dungeon."
"Oh?" The woman seemed to be interested and asked, "Then what can you gain by doing this?"
"Leave my mark in this world!" The young man replied firmly. "I have no talent for learning magic, nor do I have a strong body. Painting is the only thing I am good at."
"So I can only be a cartographer so that I can have a chance to achieve my goal. You can see that the development of special locations on these dungeon maps will have the signature of the discoverer. I want to be such a discoverer!"
Adam paused and continued: "This way, we won't leave this world quietly without any trace like my parents and many adventurers."
"That's why you care so much about Xia Rutina, because she has been so famous even after disappearing for so long."
"That's right, you have the ability but you're a fool, I don't have the ability but I'm a top-notch draftsman. We can definitely become adventurers like her!"
The woman rubbed her chin and thought for a while and then said to him: "Deal, you lead the way for me, and I will protect you from death."
Adam's joy was beyond words: "Can you tell me your name?"
"Xia Lulu, vampire."
What is a vampire? Adam had never heard of this profession, but he looked at the other person's outstretched hand and shook it firmly before replying: "Adam, draftsman."
The two straight lines intersected at this moment.
