After landing on their heels and witnessing Sikong Qinglan's departure, and looking back at the dilapidated city gate sign, Artolis and others stepped into the city with firm steps. This is a wartime fortress located on the eastern border of Semirnia. An abandoned city in a lawless area was transformed into a place for soldiers fighting on the front line to rest.
Just after crossing the city gate, several people were guarded by the knights holding guns. Faced with this situation, Huang Hao immediately stepped forward and showed the Eternal Capital's pass certificate, and then let the group of people into the city.
"It's really a corrupt and dirty place, I mean that literally." Unable to stand the stinking smell permeating the streets, Kaguya felt depressed and covered her mouth and nose.
"As a formerly lawless area, it's pretty good if there aren't a few corpses on the street." Huang Hao didn't care, he kicked a stone away with his foot casually.
Artoris watched the flying stones fall on a beam, and looked down to see a woman's head peeking out of the partition window of the dilapidated house. Whether it was because she was disturbed by the war or because she was a native of the lawless area and was wary of outsiders, Artoris caught the old woman's gaze and saw some fear in her eyes.
"Human nature cannot be ruled out. Don't presume to speculate that those who can survive here will have their hands involved in sin. I advise you to let go of your mother's heart and don't have mercy on the other person just because he looks destitute. "Huang Hao warned as if he saw the strange look in Atoris's eyes.
"..."
Artoris couldn't hide the pity in her heart, but she also understood the cruelty of reality reflected in Huang Hao's words. Indeed, she is not a Virgin and cannot save all sentient beings; she is a knight, fighting for beauty, and that is what she should do.
Turning around and leaving, Artolis couldn't hold back in the end and dropped some money in front of the other party's door. She was also in difficulty in the past. In that dark world, it was the old leader Fred and everyone in the knights who made her feel the warmth of the world. Giving alms to people when they need it most may make them happy for a while.
Everyone saw what Artoris did, but they just pretended not to notice and continued to move forward. The closer you get to the center of the city, the more native people there are. And Artolis soon realized that her behavior was just like what Huang Hao said, and it was in vain.
"Liz doesn't have to blame herself. This is the case in lawless areas where there is no order at all. Their civilization is not enough to sustain their livelihood. No matter how much you give, you can't save everyone." As if to comfort Artolis, Hui Ye shook his storage bracelet that stored money: "If their lives were not in danger, even if they are as rich as me, I would not give them any help."
For the first time, Atoris saw the stars in Kaguya's eyes. She was as bright and beautiful as a star, and she couldn't have imagined this. Kaguya's tenderness was obvious to all, and perhaps she clearly realized that doing so would be futile, so she didn't do the same thing as herself.
"Human life is not that fragile, not to mention that most of the elves here are older elves. For those who can live to that age, the faith that allows her to persevere is so powerful that neither you nor I can easily imagine." Walking in front, Gawain He took Kaguya's words and comforted Artoris.
Gao Wen, who has been influenced by Sanqing Taoism to this day, can be said to cherish words like gold. It is precisely because of this that we can better understand the care conveyed in his words. Listening to the comfort from the two people beside her, Artolis felt relieved and slowly lowered her head. Maybe she was really wrong this time.
"I haven't seen a house where I can sleep peacefully after walking for a long time." Huang Hao, who was at the front of the team and broke the silence, said, feeling very unhappy.
He turned around and looked at where Gawain was: "Remember, your secondary profession is beam forging master. If we don't have a comfortable place to live, we will all have to rely on you."
Everyone is accustomed to Huang Hao's unreasonableness, but such a request requires a lot of work, and it is not that easy to achieve. However, after hearing this, Gawain just nodded indifferently.
"You accept this?" Even Huang Hao was stunned when he saw this. It was just a joke, but he didn't expect that Gao Wen would actually respond.
"It doesn't matter." Facing Huang Hao's gaze, Gawain spread his hands.
Speaking of Gawain's secondary profession, it was chosen shortly after he settled in the Eternal Capital two years ago. It is called a beam forger, and as the name suggests, it is an engineering profession that is different from the blacksmith who refines bridge equipment and other equipment. However, unlike ordinary craftsmen, the rigid requirement for a beam forger must be a magician.
The instruments forged by the beam forger can be constructed into special magic instruments through magic synchronization, but this is beyond the reach of ordinary craftsmen. However, using magic to transform equipment is a major advantage of the beam forger, but it is also its biggest disadvantage. This means that if you do not choose the magician profession, it is equivalent to ruining the possibility of becoming a beam forger.
Speaking of which, this profession is even more unpopular than the enchanter. It is so unpopular that Artoris has never heard anyone mention it. It is outrageous that there is not even a corresponding association.
Such a special profession was studied by Gawain. It was not that Gawain was very keen on making equipment. He just wanted to use the magic he had mastered to do something in his spare time.
Gawain, who has awakened 29 high-quality magic circuits and 17 high-quality magic circuits from the beginning, is considered the best among his peers in terms of magic talent. But compared with Huang Hao, he is not as good as him.
Gawain knew that Huang Hao had only awakened 18 high-quality circuits at first, and only 12 high-quality circuits, but in comparison with the use of magic in combat, he was completely crushed.
Originally, Gao Wen should have the upper hand in both quality and quantity, but Huang Hao's various performances made him feel inferior. Maybe his Gawain's magic is not suitable for fighting, and it might be better used in other ways.
Speaking of which, Artoris thought of something interesting, that is, Huang Hao has always relied on the magic stone, but in fact it was because he was not very talented and needed the assistance of the magic stone. However, Gawain used the magic stone because he knew that he had a good talent, but he focused on the practice of the Three Purities and could not find a way to the magic profession for a while.
Although both sides are very good in strength, they are both half-assed in magic. For this reason, both of them have been scolded by their mentors.
