Just like black and white, yin and yang, everything in this world has two sides, including justice and evil, war and peace.
However, the human countries on the Asian continent formed an alliance hundreds of years ago, and the wars between people became history, and the world ushered in its first imbalance.
In order to continue to maintain the normal development of the subcontinent, Valentine, the administrator, strengthened a kind of "monster" life, diverted the internal conflicts of mankind, and nipped possible chaos in the bud.
And this guy who jumped out to attack Valentine belonged to the monster race he created at that time. The soul is composed of elements and impurities. Without reason, everyone can kill it.
This grassland is not too far from the edge of the forest. Although there are monsters infested, their levels are not high and ordinary adventurers can deal with them. So Valentin didn't want to take action, but wanted to give the fox-eared girl a good opportunity to "beauty save Shota".
But who knew that the black mass was not a low-level monster nicknamed "Adventurer RBQ", but a dangerous mid-level monster.
A black shadow sprang out from the bushes, as fast as an arrow from a string. However, it did not rush towards Valentine who was lying on the ground. Instead, it jumped into the air, giving the other party a chance to see him clearly.
It was then that Valentin discovered that this was not a low-level slime, but a wolf with two heads.
Intermediate monster, two-headed wolf.
The two-headed wolf looks just like an ordinary wolf, except that it has two heads. However, it can instantly split into two wolves and rush towards its prey when attacking, causing double pressure on the opponent. It is also faster than ordinary wolves, so it is rated as an intermediate monster in the "Monster Manual".
Just like what the manual said, this monster suddenly split into two wolves after leaping into the air. One rushed towards Valentine on the grass, and the other rushed towards the fox-eared girl running towards here not far away.
If you have two heads, you have to eat twice. Killing only one prey is not the style of a two-headed wolf.
The huge wolf fell from the sky and blocked the light from the sun. Valentine's eyes were not used to it for a while, and he could only see a dark shadow.
Although the wolf had not yet pressed its claws on his face, Valentine still smelled a fishy smell that was disgusting.
This unpleasant smell is a characteristic common to almost all monsters, and he added it deliberately in order to make humans hate this existence as much as possible.
"careful!"
The voice of the fox-eared girl came from not far away, followed by a harsh explosion, mixed with the cry of the monster.
Valentine was very familiar with this sound. It was the sound of sword energy exploding.
Although the two-headed wolf is very powerful and fast, its physical endurance is the same as that of an ordinary wolf, otherwise it would not be classified only as an "intermediate monster".
It seems that the little fox has solved the immediate threat...
Judging from the sound of the sword energy, the strength seems to be quite strong?
good.
The wolf's claws were only ten centimeters away from Valentine, and the unpleasant odor was almost materializing.
But he was still lying on the grass, thinking about how to pick up the little fox next. He didn't seem to take the danger at hand seriously at all, and just slowly raised his hands.
"Woo..."
Bang!
The black wolf's huge mouth did not swallow Valentin's head. Its claws hit the boy's body hard, but it was like hitting a steel plate, only cutting open the boy's clothes.
Valentine held the wolf's jaw and nose tightly with both hands, and his fangs passed through the gaps between his fingers without any injury.
The young man, like the strongman Samson in the mythical story, closed the beast's ugly mouth, and then...
Break it off hard!
The black wolf was torn in half in an instant, as if its huge body was as fragile as paper.
Crimson blood rained down on Valentine's face, reflecting in the fox-eared girl's eyes, making her hold on the knife a little looser, and her facial expression changed from anxious to surprised.
This human boy...
Why are you so strong?
Or is it that he is a member of the Gaoshan tribe and is born with supernatural powers?
But haven’t the Gaoshan people been big since they were young...
Countless questions appeared in the girl's little head, and the answers to these questions could only be answered by the strange young man in front of her.
Valentine threw the wolf's body aside, wiped his face casually, got up from the grass and stretched, while giving the girl a smile.
"Hello."
His voice sounded a little cold, and his smile was perfunctory.
"Hello……"
The fox-eared girl smiled with difficulty and sheathed her sword.
After a simple greeting, Valentine no longer thought about flirting with girls, but squatted down and began to process the wolf's body.
He pulled out the dagger tied to the outside of his thigh and stabbed it hard on the corpse. He skinned the body with skill and deftness, as if he often did this.
There is not only one corpse of the two-headed wolf. If you kill it when it is a clone, the adventurer will get two corpses.
But in this case, the magic materials on it will be reduced to a lower level.
Valentine doesn't care how much these materials can be sold for, he is just doing what an adventurer should do.
Play a role, blend into the role, and experience more fun.
"Um, do you need help?"
Seeing Valentine who was busy at work, the fox-eared girl hesitated for a moment, but chose to step forward to express her friendliness.
Although the elders in her family kept telling her before departure that the humans outside were not very kind-hearted and only thought about how to trick the young fox-eared girl into bed, she still chose to believe that there were many good people in the world.
"help?"
Valentin glanced at the girl squatting next to him in "surprise", and it was only then that he saw her appearance clearly.
She has long silver hair as smooth and beautiful as silk, and the big furry ears on her head look very warm. The girl's face is perfect, and she is very beautiful no matter from any angle, especially her eyes, which have rare heterochromatic pupils, one purple and one red. The big eyes are shining brightly, and they look like He is child-like, innocent and cute.
I could lie to her four times a night.
This was Valentine's first thought after seeing that face clearly.
But if you really want to cheat, you have to wait until later. Now you still have to be a good adventurer.
He raised his chin, pouted behind the girl, and said:
"Then you should be able to make a fire, right?"
The girl turned her head and found a bonfire on the grass not far away.
"It's almost noon now, it's time to eat."
He skillfully cut the wolf meat into small pieces, took out a banana leaf from his arms to hold it, and walked into the forest.
There is a small stream dozens of meters away, which is perfect for cleaning wolf meat.
"Hey, but these monsters..."
The girl's eyes widened when she heard that Valentine wanted to eat wolf meat for lunch, and she quickly called out to him.
"I know, it's poisonous and can't be eaten."
The young man turned around, and the hand holding the wolf meat emitted a little bit of holy light.
"You can only eat after purifying it with holy light magic."
Although the monster has a physical body, it is still a bad guy composed of elements and impurities. The meat is almost poisonous. Basically, one bite will cause diarrhea and two bites will cause emergency treatment.
However, holy light magic has a restraining effect on monsters and can remove poisons from their bodies. The purified monsters can naturally be eaten.
This is also the reason why the Creation God Religion can endure for a long time.
After seeing that the girl had no other questions, Valentine went to clean up the wolf meat. The girl successfully lit the fire and had fewer questions in her mind.
No wonder he is so strong...
Was it the sacred magic that was practiced?
In the subcontinent, humans can learn magic of various attributes, and various magic schools have emerged as the times require.
The best place to learn sacred magic is not a certain magic academy, but the church of the Creation God.
Every bishop is a high-ranking holy magician, and they are never stingy in disseminating knowledge to their believers, so much so that even the nuns at the lowest level of the church are familiar with holy magic, let alone the students of the professor.
In addition, the Creation Cult also advocates "getting close to nature to find yourself" and "self-improvement and self-reliance". Every priest and nun who joins the church will undergo a period of hard training, and physical training will never be interrupted. Even the archbishops of major dioceses must undergo a three-month "return to nature" trial every year, which also gives the world He left behind the label that all holy magicians are "muscles and good-hearted people".
The fox-eared girl had undergone physical training for a period of time with the nuns and sisters from the Creation God Cult in the tribe. If her mother hadn't dragged her home later, the fox-eared girl at this moment would have been the fox-eared sister. .
The cleanup of the wolf meat went smoothly, and Valentine soon returned to start making lunch for two.
Large pieces of animal meat sizzled on the campfire, and an alluring aroma surrounded the two of them.
The fox-eared girl tilted her head slightly, observing the black-haired boy opposite who was seriously grilling meat. The big furry ears on her head twitched occasionally.
In the eighteen years since childhood, the girl has only seen naughty and mischievous young men with fox ears. This is the first time she has met people of the same age and the same gender from other races.
feel good.
It has no ears or tail, which is quite interesting.
"What are you looking at?"
Valentin noticed the girl's gaze and frowned slightly.
"Ah! That..."
The sudden inquiry made the girl panic, and the boy's frown made her feel that she had done something wrong. She quickly lowered her ears and bowed her head to apologize.
"I'm just curious about what you look like...I'm sorry!"
The tribe has been closed all year round and isolated from the world, which has created the innocent and pure character of the fox-eared girl, and also made Valentine feel that he had encountered a treasure.
Turns out he is a silly person...
Fortunately, it was me who met me. If I met someone else...
Valentine knows very well what human beings are like now. Naturally, this fox-eared girl will not be deceived into losing her underwear, but she will definitely be a tool for a period of time.
The teachings of the Creation God Religion are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Kindness and harmony are qualities that everyone on the Asian continent now possesses.
It’s just that some people have more and some people have less.
"You're curious about what I look like?"
The young man's brows widened and he handed the girl the roasted meat.
"I'm also curious about what you look like."
"Why do you have animal ears and a tail?"
It's fluffy and must be very comfortable to hold in your arms.
"Well, I actually..."
The girl took the meat from Valentine. Their fingers touched together, and the girl's face turned slightly red.
…
Are you a little too innocent, girl?
I don't even want to attack you anymore!
"I'm not actually human."
"I see it."
The best way to deal with an innocent girl is to be a straight man, because being a scumbag will make your conscience difficult.
"Are you an orc?"
"ah……?"
These four words instantly eliminated the shyness in the girl's heart.
Orcs...
I am such a weak and cute girl, how could I be that kind of "human being like a beast"?
"My race is lycanthropy!"
The girl seemed to be angry and her voice was louder, but it still sounded as gentle and sweet as cotton candy in Valentine's ears.
Although there is only one word difference between a lycanthrope and an orc, the appearance of the two is completely different.
Orcs are "human beings like beasts", with a strong physique and rough appearance. The mountain tribesmen are typical representatives of orcs;
Lycanthropes are humans with animal characteristics. In layman's terms, they are beast-eared girls and beast-eared men.
Moreover, lycanthropes can transform into animal prototypes under certain special conditions, but orcs cannot transform.
"Ah, sorry."
Valentine's voice was emotionless and sounded completely insincere.
"I have almost forgotten everything I learned in the church. The terms 'orc' and 'lycanthrope' are really easy to confuse."
He took a bite of the roasted animal meat and his voice was muffled.
"Also, it's best to eat the grilled meat quickly. It won't taste good if it's cold."
"church……"
This word brought back memories of the girl. She took small bites of the meat and talked with Valentine.
"Did you learn sacred magic from the Creation Cult?"
Although the Creation God Cult is the best place to learn sacred magic, this course is also offered in magic schools and there are many students.
After all, to study sacred magic in the church, you must undergo hard training and physical training. Many people who cannot bear the hardship give up this opportunity, even if the church's tuition is much lower than that of the school.
"Um."
Valentin simply replied with one word, seemingly not wanting to go into too much depth on this issue.
The atmosphere between the two became a little awkward, and the only sound left on the grass was the crackle of the bonfire. The breeze blew through the young man's black hair, and the handsome but sleepy face was reflected in the girl's eyes, causing her heart to stir.
Finally, when the girl's tail rolled up for the eighth time, she looked at Valentine and spoke cautiously:
"Are you...an adventurer?"
This time the girl came out of the tribe just to gain experience. Her goal is also very clear, which is to join the Adventurer's Guild and become an adventurer, accept various commissions, and go around the world to solve troubles and get paid.
This is the best way to practice, which can not only improve your strength, but also prevent yourself from starving.
And since this young man will appear in the Faisette Forest, there is a high probability that he is an adventurer.
After all, ordinary people don't have the unique skill of peeling skin and chopping flesh.
"right."
Valentine nodded and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
The working environment of adventurers is very harsh, and it is simply impossible for them to maintain dining etiquette in the wild.
"Hey, then you should know where the nearest Adventurer's Guild is, right?"
After hearing the affirmative reply, the girl was a little excited and her tail kept wagging.
"I know, but..."
Valentine put out the bonfire with a cold expression.
"I'm lost and can't get out."
"Why?"
These words were like a needle pricking the hope in the girl's heart, and she disappeared in anger.
