"This is?"
"Spiritual Sword Tianliu is nothing but a Soul Controller. It was this guy who caused me so much trouble during my third-level trial." Facing Baron's surprised gaze, Artolis raised her hand high Putting down his arm, he gently caressed the gleaming sword body which was made of black gold, and opened his mouth to explain.
"It's just a fourth-level immortal spiritual weapon. It has self-awareness. It's really rare." After reading the properties of the spiritual sword, Barong's expression of surprise became even more astonishing.
"The appearance of the Spirit Sword here is unexpected. In this way, your safety can be basically guaranteed. Perhaps there is nothing more joyful than this." Looking at Artoris's joyful appearance holding the Spirit Sword in her hand, Baron was pleased. A smile.
"Hehe, of course! If I have the spirit sword, I won't be a hindrance in fighting. Even if all my abilities are restricted and unable to be used, I can easily beat those clamoring guys with the spirit sword alone. I have to look for teeth all over the place." Artolis said with her left hand on her hips, as proud as a little girl.
"Even if you have such power, you should not be arrogant. In a real battlefield, just one carelessness will cost you your life." Facing Atoris's proud look, Baron just smiled and shook his head, helpless. I dropped this friendly reminder.
"We set off tomorrow, and there are still a lot of things that need to be prepared before that. If Artolis feels that she has nothing to do, she might as well go to East Street to buy some ingredients. Of course, money is not an issue. You should be able to collect the fragments at your feet at the pawn shop I got some small money in exchange, enough to buy a few bags of Yan wheat. I exchanged the village's sword for bread, which is a good deal."
"Hey hehe~" How could Artolis not understand that this was Baron's joke? She felt embarrassed and could only laugh and touch the back of her head.
"Then I'll go right now. If I have some spare money, can I buy some more snacks?"
"If you really have the extra money, you can do whatever you want." After Baron said this, he tilted his head, spread his hands, and sent away Artolis, the "idle person".
There is really no surplus at all!
After purchasing some ingredients according to Barong's request, Artolis shook the empty money bag at her waist, pursed her lips and felt mixed emotions in her heart.
I don’t know whether I should praise Barong’s excellent calculation ability, or consider the lack of money for this trip. With the materials that Baron had hunted for a week, it was more than enough to make a living for Barong alone, but it was still too much for him to add himself.
If you have Yaojin hook in hand, you don't have to worry about the source of food, but now you are in a trial, your own abilities are banned by the rules, and you can't bring in any props from the outside.
From this point of view, if you want to make a living, it is safer to join the Adventurers Association. However, Baron will definitely not accept this, and Artoris also agrees with his explanation.
After thinking about it, I still say the same thing. If you have a space storage ring, these will not be a problem. At most, you can just store the slaughtered beast. Fortunately, as long as Atoris thinks about it, the spirit sword can disappear and enter a quantified state to follow her. Otherwise, she would not be able to walk if she had to carry a weapon that is even longer than herself.
"Did you hear that, with the assistance of the brave team, Kot Gama's imperial army has conquered the sixth floor of Tianyu Xia Corridor? Before that, it was very difficult for the imperial army to even break through the third floor!"
Carrying a bunch of ingredients, she was walking on the street back to the hotel when she heard the chatter of adventurers from the tavern beside her, which made Artolis stop in her tracks.
"I seem to remember that the brave team arrived at Tianyu Xialang four years ago. Is the progress so fast?" After listening to what he said, a leopard-headed orc man with a red face said in surprise while holding a wine glass.
"It must be the joining of the forest elves. Those guys can predict the coming danger in advance, and their survey capabilities should not be underestimated. Moreover, it is rumored that the brave group also obtained the goddess after crossing the golden lake on the fifth level. With the blessing, my strength has skyrocketed, and now I am making great progress!" Hearing the two men mention this topic, the bartender who was wiping the wine glasses also joined in.
"You are indeed a brave man. If only I could have such protection!"
"What are you daydreaming about? You'd better think more about how to be promoted to a B-level adventurer. It's been so many years." The person who raised the topic was slightly drunk, raised his glass and knocked on the sigh. Thousands of strong men with leopard heads.
This scene was seen by Artolis, but she did not sigh with those guys. Instead, he froze in place and pondered for a long time.
"Miss, do you want a drink too?" The bartender immediately greeted Artolis after he spotted her standing outside the door.
"Ah!... No... No need... I'll leave right now!" Awakened by the other party's voice, Artoris realized that she had lost her composure and quickly bowed, then walked away. The footsteps left in a hurry.
The group of people were left confused, staring blankly at the empty tavern door.
"A brave man...?"
Unconsciously, a blush appeared on the horizon. Walking on the street, thinking about what she had just seen and heard, Artoris murmured to herself.
"Are you asking about the protection of the brave?" Seeing Artoris asking this question as soon as she returned to the hotel, Baron raised his eyebrows slightly.
"No wonder you think so. You are curious because you saw that two of my attributes are hidden by special abilities. One of them is the [Blessing of the Godhead], which can convert all my attributes into Divinity is the blessing I received as a trialist. It can also be said that the trial gave me the key to the back door. The other one is more special and I can't explain it to you for the time being." Welcoming Artoris Looking at her, Barong explained calmly, stretched out his hand and took the ingredients from her hand.
"But as you can see, I don't have any so-called warrior protection."
"But..." Seeing Baron's indifferent look, Artolis seemed a little anxious, so she explained the information she had just heard from the tavern in detail.
"You want to say that besides me, there are other brave men taking action in this world, right?" What surprised Artolis was that after hearing her description, Baron did not feel the slightest surprise. After stacking the items as usual, he opened his mouth and gave Atoris a reply.
"I already knew what you said. Long before I arrived in this world, there were already people who were given the mission of being brave and were given high hopes to defeat the Demon King."
"But if Barong you are not a brave man, then why..."
"Before you ask this question, please answer me another question: What do you think about the existence of heroes?"
After taking Artoris's words, Barong turned around and glanced at her face with indifference, then cast it out the window. There was no confusion, a clear and transparent voice, looking at the setting sun that only belonged to two people, and said so.
