Zhou Li and Eluma were sitting in a restaurant, with two plates of Tariq's standard honey-glazed pork elbows in front of them. The two looked at the food in front of them, but no one picked up the knife and fork. Hao
It was not because they were not hungry. More than twenty days had passed since the last crystal attack. During these days, Zhou Li and Eluma had been patrolling at a border outpost. They slept in the open for twenty days, and the only The shelter was destroyed in an earthquake.
Of course, Tarik is not one of those weak and small countries that knows nothing about things on its borders. The day after the sanctuary was destroyed, Tariq's government sent three civil mages to rebuild the border outpost. However, because it was a temporary construction, there was a slight problem with this shelter.
The fucking supplies were forgotten by the civil mage.
Of course, as a pure natural green pollution-free forest in Tariq, there are a lot of wild game in the border forest. It can be said that you can kill many rabbits by throwing magic in any place. You can tie a piece of grass and throw a root in any river. You can catch fish with any rope, so it is a good news for anglers. Therefore, even if supplies were not delivered, both Zhou Li and Eluma said there was no big problem.
Then they regret it.
The main reason was that Zhou Li regretted it. After all, Eluma was a goddess, and her eternal cleansing constitution and rejection constitution made it difficult for her to be harmed by her diet. But Zhou Li is different, he is still a human being, at least his race is a human being.
As an earthling who has not yet learned how to identify herbs in the Tariq border forest, Zhou Li has no idea what grass can and cannot be eaten in this forest, so he ate meat for twenty days. Hao
At first, Zhou Li ate quite happily. Although his barbecue skills were not as good as Zhong's, where the dragon bowed after taking one bite and the mage called his adoptive father when he smelled the smell, but at least he could eat it and it was not a big deal. It tastes bad, but the feeling of eating different fresh meat every day makes him feel good.
By the time he became constipated on the tenth day, he began to think otherwise.
Patrolling is a physical job no matter how you say it, and patrolling in dense forests is an even more difficult task. At the beginning, Zhou Li relied on his professional ability to thrive here, and the five hours of high-intensity patrolling work every day was completed smoothly. Smooth and profitable.
Until he became constipated.
At this time, Zhou Li remembered that although the human intestines and stomach were relatively arrogant thousands of years ago, after a long period of pampering, the human intestines and stomach are no longer the bottomless pit that they used to eat only meat for a lifetime. If modern people's intestines and stomach can only come into contact with meat every day, then constipation is unavoidable.
Zhou Li hated him so much at that time. The pain of squatting in a pit full of insects and ants but returning in vain caused him to suffer both mental and physical torture. The patrol mission that was originally relatively easy was tormented by the pain of constipation. It became a moment of despair.
After all, patrolling is not just about walking along the road. He is going to various nodes to report local conditions and help passers-by leave dangerous areas. Hao
"I···"
The corner of his mouth twitched, Zhou Li raised his head and looked at Ms. Tiya with a faint smile in front of him, his mind was a little down for a moment.
Did she do it on purpose?
"What? Doesn't it suit you?"
Obviously, Tiya didn't know what happened to Zhou Li, or in other words, she didn't expect that as a brave man, Zhou Li's gastrointestinal function would be so weak.
This really cannot be blamed on Zhou Li. After all, the brave man's physical enhancement has really avoided his intestines and stomach, and the intestines of the people on earth are definitely not as strong as the aborigines of this world who can eat enough. Coupled with the acclimatization, it would be good if he could hold on for twenty days.
"It's just...it's okay..." Hao
Zhou Li was a little confused. Rice actually existed in this world, but there was obviously no place to grow rice in Tariq. The staple food here was usually bread. Therefore, he could not express his request for a bowl of rice, and he did not know whether there was such a thing as porridge in the staple food recipes of this world.
So, after a period of psychological struggle, he nodded helplessly, picked up the knife and fork and began to attack the elbow in front of him.
"You two executed your patrol mission perfectly this time."
Tia looked at
Zhou Li and Tiya in front of them neatly took out a money bag and put it in front of Zhou Li, and then said to him: "This is your commission, a total of five gold coins."
Five gold coins have a purchasing power equivalent to fifty thousand yuan. This price is considered very high in the entire mercenary world. Of course, Zhou Li's patrol mission was performed very well, and the area where he performed the mission is also considered relatively dangerous. The price is only slightly high.
"Thank you for your generosity."
Eluma on the side put away the gold coins in front of her. As the current young butler of the brave duo, Eluma established her own concept of money by bargaining at the vegetable market. You know, this goddess was still living in the God Realm a few months ago and had no concept of money at all. Hao
Of course, Zhou Li didn't know this. He had always thought that Eluma was an all-knowing goddess, so this knowledge was not out of the question.
"That's not generosity."
Shaking her head, Tiya's silver skirt glowed with a soft halo in the faint sunlight, "This is the reward you deserve. Tariq emphasizes that labor is income, and there will be no meaningless things." Generous and bottomless charity.”
Zhou Li was a little surprised when he heard this. He put down his knife and fork, looked at the girl in front of him, and asked, "You... advocate labor?"
"No, we do not promote labor."
Shaking her head, Tiya corrected: "What we advocate is [labor is income], that is, workers must get their due rewards. Our founding emperor Tarik Vladimir once said that if farmers eat If the country cannot afford the food it grows, the blacksmith cannot use the iron tools it forges, and the workers cannot enjoy the treatment they deserve, then the country will lose the meaning of its existence and become a complete vampire."
"Simply advocating labor is a fallacy for us, because if there is no reward for labor, then this is depriving workers of their rights and is an infringement and provocation to our national system."
It was obvious that the girl in front of her did not know about economic and political things such as the nature of labor and surplus value, but she could summarize the main political system of Tariq country in the simplest and most straightforward words. This surprised Zhou Li. After all, after he came to this world, he had always thought that the countries in this world were backward entities with a feudal system or a slave system.
But what he didn't expect was that in a world with a transcendent system, a country like Tarik would really appear.
After listening to Tiya's words, Zhou Li suddenly felt a little fond of this country, but of course, not much. After all, he didn't know whether this country's policy was for everyone, or just for professionals like himself. You know, he came to this country less than a month ago and spent more than 20 days living in the wild.
While her mind was wandering, Tiya was suddenly startled. Then she took out a cube-like object and put it next to her ear, listening carefully to something.
Wait, is this a phone?
Looking at the familiar square bricks, Zhou Li was dumbfounded, but he quickly realized that this was probably what the princes and nobles in the small country where he lived before called [magic technology]. At this time, Tiya had already started talking to the person on the other end of the communicator about Ali.
"The third case? It happened again?" Hao
"Has Luo Ka gone already? Okay, I'll be there right away, seal off the scene, and notify the eldest prince immediately."
"okay, I get it."
Soon, Tiya's expression became solemn. She put down the magic device in her hand and said to Zhou Li and Eluma apologetically: "I'm sorry, you two, I have something to deal with here, so I'll excuse you for now. "
Zhou Li and Eluma expressed their understanding. After all, just from her expression, they could tell that this matter must be very important. And Tia didn't waste any time. After putting down five silver coins as payment for the check, she quickly left the restaurant.
"Do you still want to eat?"
Eluma looked at the barbecue on Zhou Li's plate that looked like he had eaten a lot, but in fact he had not touched it at all, and said with some hesitation: "How about... let's find another restaurant?"
"I support it." Hao
Zhou Li nodded and said solemnly: "If I continue to eat meat, I will
I'm afraid I won't be able to get up tomorrow morning. "
Eluma also knew Zhou Li's pain these days. After she paid the bill silently with three silver coins, she and Zhou Li left the gorgeously decorated restaurant. She and Zhou Li both knew that Tiya's identity was definitely not simple. Of course, they had no inferiority complex or other thoughts when getting along with Tiya.
After all, Eluma is also a divine messenger, a being from the divine realm. Although Zhou Li is currently a silver professional with terminal cancer, his potential is endless.
The two found a restaurant that sold ordinary dishes, and ordered several vegetarian dishes, which shocked the boss a little. After all, he has seen poor people eating only vegetarian dishes, and he has also seen starving ghosts reincarnate after eating more than a dozen dishes. But this was the first time he had eaten more than a dozen plates of vegetarian food as a starved person.
how? A starving ghost was reincarnated into a living Buddha?
After leaving the restaurant, Zhou Licai felt like he was reborn and felt that his stomach had been saved. In the following days, he spent two gold coins to buy some adventure supplies at the Brave Guild, and then entered the border of Northland.
As Tarik's northern border, this area called the Winter Forest is a nightmare for ordinary adventurers. The extremely low temperature, the ubiquitous snow beasts, and the monsters lurking in the jungle are all bronze and silver life harvesters with dreams of adventure. However, the rich specialties and magical raw materials in the winter forest make this land full of opportunities. Hao
Twenty-six days, this is the time for Zhou Li and Eluma to adventure in the cold winter forest. During this period of time, he relied on the Book of Brave on his waist to find magic raw materials worth sixty gold coins, and also killed two snow beasts whose strength was at least gold level. At the same time, he advanced to gold.
Zhou Li didn't notice at all that when Li Li first came to this world, his strength grew much faster than normal. Even surpassing the brave men of all ages.
You must know that even though he is known as a genius among braves, Emperor Chong Zhou Changan's progress is far slower than Zhou Li's now. Just by relying on ordinary battles, without even the training of life and death, he was able to advance to gold in less than a year. This is an extremely explosive achievement in any field.
However, neither he nor Eluma noticed. These two people, a stinky person from the earth, came to the local place to beg for food, and a local God Realm master didn't know anything. These two people had no idea how terrifying Zhou Li's promotion was. Zhou Li even doubted whether he was born weak because he was still golden after several months.
After being promoted, Zhou Li became qualified to exercise the rights of a brave man. Soon, he returned to Mosk. Under the guidance of the Book of Brave, he met the current host of the twelve moments.
"It is an honor to be the first pope to meet the brave man."
The old man who looked a little old on the outside but full of vitality in his body looked at the young man in front of him and said kindly: "My name is Lilas William, you can just call me Lilas. I am the Pope of the Church of Life. Currently, He is also the host of the Twelve Hours." Hao
"It's an honor to meet you."
Zhou Li bowed respectfully to Lilas. He learned from Eluma that the old man in front of him was the most famous and respected pope in the entire twelve moments. As the Patriarch of the Church of Life that benefits the world, Lilas has become a savior in the hearts of most people who know him. He has snatched countless lives from the hands of the God of Death.
"When do you want to hold your coronation ceremony?"
Liras looked at the young hero in front of him and the aloof Eluma beside him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. As someone who had met Chonghuang, he could tell at a glance that the opponent's strength had surpassed that of Chonghuang at the same time, and for some reason, the opponent's soul seemed to be stronger than his own.
"ah?"
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, then asked humbly: "This... do I need to hold a coronation ceremony?"
"Need." Hao
Liras nodded and explained: "Only at the gold level can you exercise your rights. This is to allow your soul to adapt to this world. After adapting to this world, you can obtain more powerful warrior power through the coronation ceremony. At the same time, , your Brave Book will also evolve to be exclusive to the Brave, providing you with more powerful assistance."
After a pause, Liras had a peaceful smile on his face and continued: "Of course, this ceremony is also a proof that you have become a brave man who saves the world. In this way, all countries in the world will know about you. Existence will also be your help in fighting disasters in the future."
"Ah...I understand."
Zhou Li nodded, indicating that he fully understood. Then, under the auspices of Liras, preparations for Zhou Li's coronation ceremony began in an orderly manner.
As expected, there was an accident.
