Chapter 13 New Goals
The evening breeze ruffled Dorothy's hair, and the scattered hair obscured the girl's eyes, and she at least pulled them aside, and continued to stare into the distance.
"What's on your mind?" Zhao Xi walked over and sat next to Dorothy, looking at the side face of the girl opposite.
"Is it that obvious?" said Dorothy, squeezing out a small smile.
"You've been sullen since you came back from the castle in the afternoon, and a fool can see it. Zhao Xi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Regret it?"
"I don't regret it, I just remember something. Dorothy straightened her stray hair again and smiled shyly.
"Would you like to hear a story about our family's past?"
Zhao Xi was dazzled by the girl's bright smile, the smile seemed to be contagious, and he also smiled and nodded.
"Zhu Na, that is, my mother is a well-known beauty in the town, even the old viscount was moved by his mother when he came to the town, and he wanted to let his mother, who was still single at that time, be his viscountess many times, but her mother rejected her. ”
Dorothy told the story of the past with memories in her eyes, and the smile on her face became more and more obvious.
"Is it because of Uncle John?" Zhao Xi asked, tilting his head.
"Hmm!" the little girl nodded emphatically and said, "Because my mother was picked up by my grandparents, I grew up with my father since I was a child, so my mother fell in love with my father who was a year older than her since she was a child." ”
"Mom is cold to outsiders, only when she looks at her father, she will have a smiling face, and she seems to have endless words with her father. ”
"Although my dad is not the smartest or the strongest in the town, he has always been the most warm-hearted, and he will help no matter who has any trouble, so he is also the most friends in town. ”
"Even Uncle Bert, the most difficult guy in town, was a good friend of my dad, and maybe my mom liked it. ”
Dorothy's eyes seemed to glow when she mentioned her parents, and her face always had a happy expression.
"It's very different from the Uncle John I've seen. Zhao Xi sighed beside him.
"Actually, there is a reason why Dad became like this, and that was after Mom left home without saying a word. ”
At the mention of this, the light in the girl's eyes dimmed, and the expression on her face changed.
"I still remember that it was when the epidemic first started, and my father had just seen a few friends suffering from thirst, so he was very depressed when he came home that day, and his mother was still reassuring him that he would definitely pass. ”
But who knew that the next day my mother went out and never came back, and the people in the town said that my mother couldn't stand the infectious disease in the town, so she fled to the field, and went to live the life of Mrs. Kuo with the big businessman she just met. ”
"When Dad learned the news, he was like a different person, he didn't do anything every day, just hid in the house and drank, and sometimes when he was drunk, he would drop things in the room and cry. ”
When she said this, the little girl's tears couldn't stop falling, and the whole person cried into tears.
"But I don't believe that my mother will leave my father because of money, as others say, and how can my mother's love for my father be fake? ”
The girl looked at Zhao Xi on the side pitifully, as if she wanted to get some positive answer from Zhao Xi.
"If what you say is true, there must be something hidden in it. Zhao Xi sighed and said.
Dorothy seemed relieved when she got the same point of view as the person next to her, and the light in her eyes returned.
"Eating this will make you feel better. ”
Zhao Xi took out the chocolates he had treasured for many days from his backpack, because the things he put in the backpack would not deteriorate, so the chocolates he took out at this time were still the same as if he had just opened the package.
Dorothy looked at the black thing in front of her, as if she had heard the poison in the story when she was a child, but out of trust in Zhao Xi, she still took it and put it in her mouth.
"Remember not to chew it in your mouth, things have to melt in your mouth little by little to be delicious... Oops!"
Speaking of general, Zhao Xi remembered that Dorothy didn't seem to be able to eat normal food, and just wanted to make her vomit, but found that the girl opposite had an expression of enjoyment.
"Is it possible to eat chocolate?" Zhao Xi laughed in his heart.
As soon as Dorothy put the black thing in her mouth, she made up her mind to pretend to be delicious, no matter how unpalatable it was, and swallowed it all.
But this black thing was unexpectedly delicious, although there was a trace of bitterness in the mouth at first, but as it melted in the mouth, the delicate sweetness directly conquered the little girl.
There is not even the most basic feeling of nausea, although this thing cannot provide her with the energy necessary for life, but she can accept and even like the taste, and her mood seems to have really changed a little better.
"Your mother went to Shodrea, right? ”
Zhao Xi's question directly brought Dorothy's attention back to reality, and she saw that the boy who was sitting next to her just now was lying on the grass on the side without any image.
"Have you already guessed?" the girl straightened her windswept hair again.
"Bishop Darren hinted at me during the day, and if I didn't guess it anymore, I might as well go home. Zhao Xi said weakly.
"The foreign caravans in the town are all from Syudrea, and although they look a little different from the previous caravans, they leave in the same direction. Dorothy nodded.
"Good!"
Zhao Xi, who was still lazy just now, sat up directly, looked at Dorothy next to him with his eyes, and at the same time stretched out his hand to Dorothy on the side.
"My next destination is Shodra, I wonder if this beautiful young lady is interested in going to Shodraia with me?"
"This..."
Dorothy was shocked after listening to Zhao Xi's words, and she didn't know what expression to use, and it took a long time for the little girl to show a happy smile.
"Thank you, Don. ”
After finishing speaking, she put her hand on Zhao Xi's hand and held Zhao Xi's hand tightly.
"Sure enough, he's a pervert, and he can't forget to take advantage of others. ”
Cornelia in the room looked at the two outside, and there seemed to be a smile on her face.
......
Time flies, and two months have passed in a blink of an eye.
These two months have been the most comfortable and busiest for Zhao Xi.
He kept running around the town and the kobold tribe, and after two months, his originally sickly white skin had become a healthy wheat color.
After two months of exercise, Zhao Xi, who was still a little decadent, has become more sunny and energetic, and he is like two people before.
In the past two months, he and Vic have taken Dorothy and Erin everywhere to hunt for ferocious beasts, met many transcendental beasts, and learned a lot of experience in surviving in the wild under Vic's teachings.
Actually, it was just Erin alone, but Dorothy said that she would come with her when she heard the news.
Zhao Xi thought about it and felt that it was not a bad thing for the girl to be familiar with her own strength, so she agreed to her request.
However, Dorothy and Zhao Xi are different, even after running around outside for so long, the girl's skin is still as fair, and the sun doesn't seem to leave any traces on it.
However, thanks to the training during this time, the two girls have mastered a lot of their own strength, at least they will not be little girls with no power.
Although Zhao Xi's two months of persistent training wanted to improve the basic swordsmanship by one level again, the slowness of the improvement of the basic swordsmanship of this level was beyond his imagination, and the two months only increased the experience bar below by a small half, and it was still far from being upgraded.
However, the two skills obtained from the Viscount Castle Zhao Xi have been able to master them proficiently, and unlike the swordsmanship given by the system such as the Star Sword, these two skills are more inclined to the use of skills than mental power, which is a good supplement for him.
Sword Drawing - Level (Introter)
Introduction: Draw the sword, return to the sheath, draw the sword is a knight's practice of murderous swordsmanship, known for its speed, the sword out, will see blood.
Multi Slash - Level (Starter)
Introduction: Swing several swords at the same time to attack the enemy in a short period of time, the more skilled you are, the more times you can swing the sword in a short time, which can cause huge damage to the enemy.
These two skills greatly make up for the shortcomings of Zhao Xi's lack of skills, not that they are eaten all over the world with one move, and these two skills consume physical strength rather than mental power, which also alleviates Zhao Xi's lack of mental power.
However, Erin's talent for shamanism was beyond Zhao Xi's expectations, and after she became a shaman, she gained one more skill than Taylor.
In addition to the same fireball spell and lightning arrows, she has also mastered transfiguration and summoning dragon-blooded creatures.
Transfiguration: Turns enemies into harmless critters, the stronger the enemy's strength, the more mental power is consumed, the shorter the transfiguration lasts, and the target will actually die after dying during the transformation.
Summons Dragon's Blood Creatures: Randomly summon nearby creatures with dragon blood, the summoning target is completely random, and the summoned creatures will not obey the summoner's orders, and need to conclude a separate contract.
Transfiguration is a very powerful control skill that will turn the target into a random critter, and even Zhao Xi's Transfiguration Technique that falls on Erin will take a full second to unravel.
As for summoning dragon blood creatures, it's more cheating, not to mention the consumption of mental power, the summoning target is random and terrifying, and the dragon blood creatures summoned are all harmless to humans and animals, and even the blood on the body is thin and can't be sensed.
The only thing that succeeded was to summon a transcendent dragon wolf with a blood concentration similar to Vic's, but the dragon wolf ignored no one but Vic and lay under the statue of Eoros all day long.
