Chapter 3 The Poor
"Beauty, beautiful lady, I, I don't have any intention of harming you. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info You see, I also picked some fruit for you, although I don't know if it's poisonous." Leah said with a twist. Why does this always feel very tongue-twisting, is it because there is too little contact with women?
"Oh, is that so?" the dark-haired girl looked at where Leah was staring, where a large tuft of green fruit was spread, and raised a willow eyebrow slightly. Then he looked at Leah's clothes, and sure enough, he found many slender cuts on it, and the tender flesh inside was already faintly visible, and if the barbs grew like this, there was no doubt that they would leave scars on them.
"I'm sorry, maybe I'm overthinking. The black-haired girl smiled bitterly and shook her head, thinking about it carefully, if the little girl had the purpose of snatching the items on her body, then she could do it when she was just unconscious, and she didn't have to collect those thorny fruits at all, and wait for her to wake up and then cheat her trust, isn't it redundant.
The other party is several years younger than her, how much attack power can he have?
What's more, in such a special period, how is it possible.. The dark-haired girl sighed, remembering what had happened not long ago.
After letting down her guard against the girl, the black-haired girl rearranged her clothes, showed a gentle smile, and said to herself, "Hello, my name is Nina Loren, and I am a 9th stage magician of the ice department. ”
Seeing the black-haired girl let down her guard and greet her, Leah couldn't help but exhale and replied. "Hello, Miss Nina. ”
Nina walked up to Leah, pulled her up, and asked suspiciously, "Sister Leah, are you from a poor background, but if you are a poor person, how did you get here?"
Don't you know that this is their forbidden place, and poor people who have not practiced magic or spiritual power will not set foot in this place no matter what, because this place, for them ordinary people, is definitely a place where there is no life.
"Ahh
Nina frowned at Leah's young body in linen, indeed, it was really possible for those poor people who had no way out, forced by debt, to walk into this dangerous forbidden place for them.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but think of her walking down the street with her father, and meeting the suffering paupers, most of whom were hunched over and lame, and at night they could only sleep on the dry haystacks wrapped in their sackcloth.
Looking at the girl in front of her, a scene suddenly appeared in her mind: in order to solve the problem of family debts, the innocent girl with a cowardly body continued to work as a handyman, without enough food and clothing, sleeping on a simple bed made of weeds, and finally under the persecution of the creditor, she could only enter this dangerous forbidden place, seek treasures, and get a chance, even if she lost her life.
In the forest, constantly harassed by monsters, although stumbling into the depths, but did not get a trace of treasure, at the same time actually met a person, for the temptation of money, she fell into a tangled fantasy, but did not because of the persecution of debt, which led her to the idea of crime, and finally decided to help her.
Thinking of this, looking at Leah in sackcloth, her eyes were a little red, and she met those poor people, what would his father do?
He will not hesitate to step forward to help them, take them back to the camp, exercise their bodies, practice magic and spiritual powers, and teach them the knowledge of words. And at this time, he would touch her head and say earnestly: "Nina, look at those poor people, they are accustomed to exist in the most inconspicuous places of the crowd, worship others, and never resist the humiliation of others... ”
"It's not that they don't have dignity, it's that they're too weak to defend themselves, they just huddle in corners and get used to covering themselves. ”
Nina looked at the swords-wielding paupers, who seemed to have a never-ending physical strength, and never said from their mouths that they were too tired to give up, or that she had the scene of her mind dropping her weapons and turning away.
Never once!
"Don't be afraid, my sister will protect you!" Nina felt sympathetic and grabbed Leah and pressed her to her chest, ignoring the dust sticking to her silk garment, and gently stroked her head with her right hand. He also looked at her with gentle eyes from time to time.
"Huh?" Leah pressed against the girl's chest, the inner armor under the silk clothes did not seem to be made of metal, but a resilient material, and under the close close, you could feel the slightest temperature on the surface of the inner armor, and you could even hear the girl's powerful heartbeat.
Being so close to the girl, her face was suddenly covered with red tide, and she had a large goosebump on her body, and she pushed Nina and walked back several meters before she stammered: "It's okay, I, I, I'm used to it." ”
The maternal brilliance in Nina's eyes rose as Leah's resistance rose, as if she were a baby waiting to be breastfed. Leah was shocked when she saw her, and she was very uncomfortable, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to find a topic to support.
"Miss Nina, may I ask what that magician is?" Leah was a little curious about Nina's self-report of the 9th Rank Magician, and she was just thinking, could it be that I really reached the legendary Otherworld, and how could I use another script fluently?
Leah was puzzled by the language she had suddenly mastered, she thought she was illiterate and had never been exposed to another language system, and the conversation that had only been a moment was actually another language she didn't know before, but now she was able to connect with each other normally.
Nina twitched the corners of her mouth, "You don't know this?" What a closed view of education this is, so big, there is no trace of magic and spiritual power. Another plot was automatically added in his mind, and he continued to speak.
"Spiritual power and magic power are something that most people can learn. Well, but let's get out of the beast forest first, and as we go, let's talk about it, and then let my father take you to school to study after you get out!" Nina wanted to explain some rules and regulations in detail, and Leah in front of her seemed to be a child from the depths of an unknown mountain, who had never been in contact with the market, otherwise how could she not even know spiritual power and magic power.
However, they were now in the deepest part of the outer part of the beast forest, and it was not suitable for her to explain and explain for a long time, and at this time, the first thing to do should be to go out!
It's too dangerous here, and now that you're done saying hello, it's time to pack up and go.
Leah blinked, she was curious about what spiritual power and magic were in this world, especially the beautiful lady just tried her hand, just like magic. It made her feel amazing.
Nina was still in her place, she pointed to the ground where Leah had picked the fruit, and said, "Leah." These fruits you pick are called green fruits, which are only produced in the Youtan Beast Forest, and the fruits in the blue state cannot be eaten! ”
She leaned down, picked up a fruit and said, waving the fruit in her hand to Leah, "Well, look at you now, you shouldn't have eaten it, right?"
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid of poison, I don't dare to eat it, I want to ask first......" Leah said honestly, she really wanted to eat a few to fill her stomach just now, but her past memories repeatedly reminded her that she couldn't eat it, a completely unknown wild fruit, otherwise it might be miserable now.
"However, this kind of green fruit, when the appearance turns red, you can eat it, and it is completely non-poisonous. Nina picked out the three completely red green fruits and stuffed them all into Leah's arms.
"Little, don't you want to eat it, young lady?" Leah took out a fruit, blinked her eyes, and asked dryly, since the other party gave her effective information, it was not good to take it all alone.
When Nina heard this, her face turned pale, and she said righteously: "No, this was originally picked by you, and besides, I just ate dry food in the morning, and I'm not hungry yet!"
Suddenly, her face became a little red, she coughed dryly, her eyes swayed as she looked at the tall trees everywhere, pretending to enjoy the scenery, in order to maintain the appearance of her handsome predecessor.
I don't know how long I've been in this forest, Leah thought silently, and at the same time wiped one of the green fruits with the clean hem of her sleeve, poked Nina, and threw it into her arms.
Nina didn't shirk it, took the fruit, and didn't care if it was clean or not, just bite it.
Leah also ate one, although the appearance of the green fruit is gorgeous, it makes people look frightened, but when you bite down, the juice in the fruit splashes into the mouth, and the cold, refreshing feeling rushes into the mouth in an instant, straight into the mind, as if the feeling of stimulating the brain of eating ice cream in the past, cold to the heart, in this hot weather that has not yet entered autumn, it is really an excellent food!
"The green fruit is only produced in the Youtan Beast Forest, and the buds will emerge in summer, and they grow in large quantities, but the chance of ripening is very small. And in the cyan stage, the fruits are poisonous, which will make the monsters and humans who eat them poisoned, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, so as to quickly expel them from their nucleus. ”
"At the same time, in the red stage, they wither quickly, and they will completely wither and fall off in no more than two days on the tree, so Sister Leah, you are lucky to have met it. Nina's explanation sounded on the side, and she paused and said.
"The red green fruit can only be stored for about a week after being picked, so the price is very high outside the beast forest, and many people have never seen it. I can eat it, thank you so much~" Nina did not hesitate to praise herself, Leah was able to meet three fully ripe green fruits at the same time, even if she followed her father in this forest for a few years, she didn't eat many in total.
Leah took a closer look at the remaining one, good thing, then let's keep it, and stuffed the only remaining ripe green fruit into her pocket. The burlap bag is very loose, and as long as it is not deliberately squeezed, it will not crush the fruit.
Stuffing the fruit into their pockets, the two of them prepared to go.
"Squeak!"
Leah was a little stunned, this was the second strange sound she heard here, it was like those rats screaming when they were trapped in cages or caught, but the sound heard now was more sharp, but at the same time it was muddy, and the sound echoed in the ears, which was uncomfortable.
Nina's face changed, and she quickly stood between Leah and the source of the voice, this action moved Leah a little, for Nina, she was just a stranger she had not known for a long time, and she could stand in front of her desperately.
Looking up at Nina, she was mindful of the spell, and in the blink of an eye, some gray-white air currents began to spin on her fingers, and after a few breaths, the color began to slowly turn ice blue. She looked at the place where the sound had come from, staring quietly at the grass pile in front of her, and suddenly, the voice sounded again, and the voice became more rapid and noisy.
Nina heard this voice again, the airflow in her hand stagnated slightly, as if she remembered something, her face showed a hint of joy, she turned her head and said quickly to Leah: "Look at that direction and the cry of the monster, it is likely that the trap set by my father caught the prey!"
"In this state now, if there is no rescue, it is not suitable for long-distance travel outside, there are many dangers on the road, but if there is a high-level magic crystal, everything is completely different, we have a strong self-protection ability, and we can easily and smoothly go out!"
Nina ignored the girl's reply and continued to speak quickly, as she began to move forward towards the weeds. "The trap set by my father can catch a first-order demonic beast, and if that can be caught, then you will definitely be able to get a first-order magic crystal!" Nina would show a look of pride on her face every time she talked about her father.
"The magic crystal is a kind of crystal on the body of the demonic beasts, they will have it when they are born, and as they grow, they will slowly increase their level. Nina was afraid that Leah would not know, so she explained, listening to the gradually faint cry, she pulled out the dagger from her waist, and the air currents in her right hand seemed to be released at this time, and they quickly dissipated.
Nina picked a branch that Leah had picked up and tied the dagger to it, lengthening it.
The full length of the dagger was only half the length of an adult's arm, and it was the same as the ordinary sword blades that Leah had seen before, with a silver-white Kaifeng blade and a gray-black hilt, and there was no difference in it.
Nina walked slowly over to the green bushes. I saw her take a deep breath. The blade fell suddenly, and the thorny stems and leaves broke off in response.
The cut is smooth and flat.
This surprised Leah for a moment, for she had suffered enough in this shrub just now, and although it was wrapped in sackcloth, the slender thorns sometimes passed through the fabric and left some white marks on her arms, so she knew very well how difficult this shrub was, pliable and thorny, constantly broken, and now it was so easily cut away.
What's even more amazing is that the broken bush is not wide, and there are many branches that grow over Nina's body, but her clothes seem to be coated with a layer of oil and water, and there is no "bang" sound of tearing her clothes, and she easily passes through the middle, leaving no trace on it.
"Sister Leah, stay here for now, I'll be back soon, it's much safer for the outside. Don't run around!" Nina said in a blink of an eye, making a few paces away from the bushes, and as if remembering something, she turned her head and instructed her.
