Chapter 502: Qingguanren's Reinforcements (II)

"You want me to go to some unknown plane to pick up Li Qing? Help him build a portal to teleport back? ”

In Yiwen's room, the sorceress looked at Su Su in surprise and said with a smile, "I heard you right, right?" How could you make such a ridiculous request to me? Don't forget, we are hostile sides, how can I help you free your Black Knight? ”

"It's not up to you." Su Su had a cold face and said, "It's okay if you go voluntarily, but if you are forced by me...... Hmph, I have a way to twist your ego and turn you into one of my loyal dogs. Don't look at how cute and cute I look now, but never forget, I'm the ruined demon king who has destroyed many gods and the world! There are no knights, I can do whatever I want! Come to think of it, you don't want to...... Seeing that I have become the ruined demon king of the past, right? ”

"Uh......" Yiwen was stunned for a moment, seeing Su Su's unfathomable pupils, flashing with a magic light that was darker than the abyss, she couldn't help but tremble slightly, and said, "Okay, okay, I, I agree to help." ”

When she said this, she was thinking, "Threaten me? Thought I'd be scared? Fools will help you! This is my chance to escape from your clutches. As soon as I get to that plane, hum ......"

Just as she was thinking about how to contact her ancestral god, the Ice Queen, and then find a way to deal with the Demon King and the Black Knight, she heard Su Su say, "It's best if you volunteer." But lest you do anything stupid, I will plant a small prohibition in your soul. Well, speaking of which, the inspiration for this prohibition came from the Scourge Monarch. The name of the Calamity Monarch, Diesmart, should have been heard of by your origin, right? He had recently developed a new soul-devouring virus that had turned an entire plane into a paradise for the living. It's an interesting virus, and although I don't care about it, I've done a little bit of research......"

She introduced the efficacy of the living corpse virus vividly, and made Yiwen's face pale when she heard it, and then she sighed with satisfaction and said, "As long as you do things obediently, the ban will not be touched." But once you have any bad intentions, I don't need to say more about the consequences. Don't try to find someone to help you clear the prohibition, the prohibition I planted myself, rooted in the soul, even if it is your ancestral god, Her Royal Highness Elsa, the Ice Queen, you can't think of uprooting it lightly. And as long as the ban is touched slightly, hehe...... Miss Ewen, you're going to be a cute living corpse! ”

"I disagree!" Yiwen strongly objected: "I'm doing things for you, not only do you not thank me, how can you plant such a vicious ban on me?" I am categorically against it! If you must give me this kind of prohibition, then, then I will strike passively! ”

"Passive strike? Okay! Su Su said with a smile: "But this ban has a time limit. Well, I decided to set it at a year. If you don't bring the knight back within a year, the ban will break out......"

"You!" Yiwen was dumbfounded, stunned for a while, and hurriedly said, "Why do you still set a time limit?" Who knows where your knight has gone? Even if I arrive safely at the plane you mentioned, a plane as big as a vast sea of people, how can I possibly find your knight in just one year? Besides, even if I find him, I'll have to build a portal to the Otherworld. I'm not like you, I don't have the same powerful spell-casting ability as you. The ability is not enough, the resources are to be made, I still have to collect the resources to build the gate of the other world, how can it be enough in just one year! ”

"Two years, then!" Su Su very generously relaxed the time limit: "It can only be two years, not more." In addition, you are wrong about one thing, although the plane is large, it is not very difficult to find the knight. The soul ban I will plant for you will not only monitor your actions, but also the ability to detect contact. Well, as long as you and the knight get close to a certain distance, you can have telepathy with each other...... Even if the distance is quite far away, there is a chance that the two of you will be inducted under certain circumstances. ”

Speaking of this, Su Su clapped his hands: "Okay, let's talk nonsense here first." Yiwen, you prepare and see what you have to bring. I'll go and refine a talisman item for you first, and then I'll plant a ban for you. ”

"Talismans?" Yi Wen looked at Su Su suspiciously: "You would be so kind?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not here for you." Su Su said very straightforwardly: "I don't care about your life or death. I'm just worried that you're dead and that there's no one to help me get the knight back. So I'm going to have to give you some amulet items! So you don't need to thank me. ”

After that, she waved her little hand and went out with Xiaolongnu and the others in a swagger.

Seeing Su Su and the others leaving, Yi Wen fell on the bed with a weak head: "Why am I so unlucky...... To carry out dangerous missions, you also have to be planted with a danger ban...... God, when will I be freed from the clutches of the Demon King......"

……

Su Su and the others on Earth No. 2 are making full preparations to rescue Li Qing. At this time, Li Qing was recuperating from his injuries in a hunter village in an unknown plane.

In the past day, under the effect of a strong physique, Li Qingna has been cured by ordinary people, and if he does not raise it for three or five months, he will never be able to get out of bed. In this regard, Aunt Hannah's family was naturally amazed for a while, and became more and more sure that he was a powerful adventurer.

In the words of old Hans, to survive the siege of a group of wind wolves, at least he is a strong man of the level of Lord Tucsenpo, the knight of Baron Hemmer's family.

Baron Hemmer, the closest lord to the Hunter Village. The Baron's Castle is twenty kilometers away from the Hunter's Village. The area where the hunter village is located is not the territory of Baron Hemmer, and the villagers are not the lords of the baron, so it is naturally impossible to make any requests to the baron in case of trouble, and can only hope for the adventurers.

The baron himself did not have anything worth mentioning, but the chief knight under him, whose name made Li Qing secretly laugh.

Tucsembour, the name ...... It's really shocking.

That night, Li Qing had a very strange dream.

In his dream, he was riding on a wooden sailboat in a terrifying wave. The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and torrential rain. Hurricanes howl at sea, big waves are like walls, and sailboats are struggling to navigate the wind and waves, threatening to capsize at any moment. Blurred figures ran around the boat, shouting and exclaiming.

And Li Qing's role seems to be just a bystander, sitting quietly on the boat, silently watching the crew fight against the wind and waves.

While he was watching, he suddenly heard a faint female voice coming from him, as if screaming for help. After a while, the woman who called for help seemed to be rescued on the boat.

Li Qing was originally indifferent and was ready to continue to watch. But suddenly I found that the woman's dress was a striking ice blue - this dream was originally colorless. Whether it's a sailboat, or a dark cloud, or a lightning, or the sea, it's all gray and black. The image of the crew is also blurred, like gray-black ghosts.

However, the woman who was rescued on the boat actually exuded a bright ice blue, and her image was also extremely clear, which aroused Li Qing's interest. So he stood up and leaned over to watch. When I saw it, I was surprised.

The woman who was drenched and her skin was soaked in the sea water until it turned pale was actually the Ice and Snow Warlock Yiwen!

This is the end of the dream. Li Qing felt ridiculous after waking up: this dream itself is nothing, Li Qing is also a man who has fought against wind and waves, and it is normal to have a dream of encountering wind and waves by boat. But being in a foreign land, instead of dreaming of intimate girls such as Su Su, Xiaolongnu, and Chu Lingfeng, but dreaming of the ice and snow warlock Yiwen, this made Li Qing a little confused.

"Could it be that I have something in my subconscious thoughts about Ewen? Although she has a very good figure and is beautiful, God testifies, I really don't mean anything to her! ”

Soon, Li Qing put this ridiculous idea behind him and concentrated on recuperating from his injuries.

……

In the dark forest, Li Qing, dressed in a linen coat full of patches and wearing a pair of straw sandals, walked silently behind a young girl.

It was the third day of his arrival, and Li Qing's injuries had completely healed. Now, at the invitation of the villagers, he will go to the valley occupied by the Black Devil Bull to deal with the demonic beast that has occupied the traditional hunting grounds of the Hunter Village.

The girl in front is Gretel, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hannah.

This is a tall girl, with long brown hair, slightly dark skin, and vigorous skills, walking like a fly in the dark forest that seems to have no path, and at first glance it looks like a skilled hunter who has been hunting in the woods since childhood.

She is now Li Qing's guide, and her mission is to bring Li Qing to her destination.

The girl was very shy, although she acted as vigorously as a female leopard, but in front of Li Qing, she was as shy as a little milk cat, her face turned red when she said two words, and her voice was as low as a mosquito buzzing. Therefore, along the way, Li Qing did not communicate with her much, but only silently followed her and followed her to her destination.

The forest was dark, and the sunlight barely shone in. It was almost noon, and in some places there was even a veil of tulle, making the forest even darker. Hence the name "Black Forest".

In the dark forest, there is far more abundant elemental energy than outside the forest. When he was in the Hunter's Village, Li Qing felt that the supernatural elements that were free between heaven and earth were only between the two earths compared to Earth No. 2. But after going deep into the forest, Li Qing felt that the supernatural elements in the forest were at least thirty percent richer than the outside world.

Because of this, a large number of magical beasts and magical plants are born in this black forest. And the deeper you go into the Black Forest, the higher the concentration of supernatural elements. Li Qing could imagine that in the depths of the forest, in the heartland, supernatural elements, or magical energy, magic power, or something, would definitely be so dense that it would be quite amazing.

It can be inferred that in the depths of the forest, there may indeed be unusually powerful supernatural creatures.

Far more powerful than the outside world, the Black Forest is rich in products, but it also makes the Black Forest very dangerous. Li Qing knew that if he didn't have enough strength, no matter how rich the Black Forest was, thinking of taking risks and making a fortune in the Black Forest would be just a death.

There are many experienced old hunters in the hunter village, but in the past two days, Li Qing found that the strongest among them was only about the level of a third-level warrior. The strength is so weak, no wonder he can only make a living on the edge of the Black Forest, and he is helpless when he encounters a low-level demonic beast, the Black Demon Bull.

Moo......

Suddenly, a low bull roar faintly entered Li Qing's ears.

Although this bull's roar was low, it was extremely penetrating, and not only Li Qing heard it, but Gretel also heard it clearly.

The girl who was walking suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Li Qing with bright eyes, a nervous look appeared on her delicate face, and whispered: "It's the Black Devil Bull." ”

Li Qing nodded, and said without changing his face: "You are waiting for me here." ”

Gretel bit her lip and said softly, "But, we haven't reached our destination yet." ”

"Heh, I already know where it is." Li Qing smiled, signaled to Gretel that he didn't have to lead the way anymore, and admonished: "Pay attention to safety." And he galloped away in the direction from which the roar of the ox had come.

Soon, after passing through a dense forest, a valley suddenly opened up in front of him, and a valley appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

The valley is located in an open area between two mountains, with few trees, and is a rare sunny spot in the Black Forest. With its sweet, clear water, fertile weeds, and rare sunshine, it's easy to attract wild animals of all sizes, so it's no wonder that the Hunter Village is regarded as a traditional hunting ground.

It's just that right now, the valley, which is only two or three acres in size, has been occupied by a behemoth.

It was a black bull with a shoulder height of more than three meters and a body length of nearly five meters. The legs of the black ox were as thick as the beams of a house, and its hooves were as big as a basin. The long, curved horns resemble two giant scythes. A pair of bull's eyes were as red as blood, and they didn't look like a cow at all, but they revealed an indescribable ferocity and demonism.

"No wonder it's called the Black Devil Bull...... This look is too magical. Li Qing muttered to himself.

The Black Devil Ox was leisurely drinking and grazing by the stream, occasionally letting out a low cow roar, as if to use it to intimidate the beasts that tried to enter its territory. Ordinary beasts, even weaker low-level demonic beasts, hearing the roar of the Black Demon Bull, would naturally avoid this valley far away, but for Li Qing, this Black Devil Bull was not enough to see.

"It's only slightly stronger than those shoddy copycat unicorns in our half-plane." Li Qing muttered to himself, walked out of the forest generously, and walked towards the Black Devil Bull.

The Black Devil Bull quickly sensed Li Qing's arrival.

This short-tempered demonic beast, after discovering Li Qing, didn't even make a demonstration or tentative action, and immediately launched a charge without thinking.

"Think of me like a normal hunter? This guy's brain isn't very good! Li Qing smiled.

You know, not to mention Warcraft, even ordinary beasts, they generally don't be so rash. When encountering an enemy, it is always necessary to demonstrate, intimidate, and test for a while before really launching an offensive. How can it be like a black devil bull, who gets mad when he sees people?

It must have been that this black demon bull had already seen humans as creatures, and had won a great victory in the battle with the hunters before, and believed that humans were weak and weak animals based on experience, so he would attack without thinking when he saw Li Qing.

"You can't make the mistake of empiricism." Li Qing shook his head, smiled, clenched his fists, and punched the black devil bull who was rushing wildly.

In all fairness, this black devil cow is actually not weak. When it collided, the rumbling and terrifying sound was almost like a heavy tank, giving people a feeling of being overwhelming and overwhelming.

The wind power generated by its high-speed sprint even directly cut the soft grass stalks on the ground, setting off a small whirlwind mixed with grass blades and soil.

With such a momentum, ordinary heavily armed heavy knights may not dare to face it head-on.

However, this momentum is still a little weaker for Li Qing.

Not to mention a low-level demonic beast, even if he comes to a genuine heavy tank, with his current strength, he will dare to have a bold head-on!

Rumble! In the low sound of air explosion, Li Qing punched through the air, and the relatively huge bull's head, which appeared to be an extremely small fist, was hitting a curved horn of the black devil bull impartially.

Under the heavy blow, the horns as tough as steel broke from it. The Black Devil Bull let out a mournful roar, and the huge body of the bull was like an F4 car crashing into a wall at top speed, rapidly compressing, deforming, and chipping, and then rising and tumbling, throwing countless pieces of flesh and blood in all directions.

In the end, the Black Devil Bull rolled over the top of Li Qing's head and fell to the ground with a bang. The originally huge and mighty cow body has become a blur of flesh and blood, and it is unbearable to see.

In this process, Li Qing did not retreat half a step, only his feet fell into the ground, up to his ankles.

The dough shook slightly, and a few drops of cow blood splashed on his face flew away, Li Qing looked back at the sparse black devil cow, frowned and said to himself: "Hmm, it's too ruthless, the cowhide is completely rotten, and most of the beef is also sparse...... Forget it, it's just a low-level demonic beast, and it's not worth a few dollars. ”

With that, he clapped his hands and went to Gretel.

Although the Hunter Village only asked him to drive away the Black Devil Bull, he was able to help people to the end, and since he had the ability to prevent future troubles, Li Qingzi would not leave his hands.

Soon, Gretel followed him to the valley. Seeing that the black devil cow, who was still helpless with the strength of the whole village, but was injured by it, turned into a lump of rotten meat and spread it in the valley, the girl's eyes first flashed with joy, and then she was deeply shocked. Looking at Li Qingshi again, his big sparkling eyes were already filled with obvious awe.

Li Qing didn't say much, he and Gretel picked a little intact cowhide and cut it, picked some beef tendon and beef, and set out on the return journey. As for the puddle of rotten meat that has lost its usefulness, it has its own wild beasts in the forest to clean it up. I believe that in less than half a day, the once majestic Black Devil Bull will not even have a few bones left.

On the way back to the village, Gretel glanced at Li Qing cautiously from time to time, and in her eyes, in addition to awe, there was also a trace of expectation. The red lips were not slurching, as if they wanted to say something.

Seeing this, Li Qing asked with a smile, "Gretel, do you want to say something?" If you have something to say, just say it. Your mother is very straightforward, you should learn from your mother. ”

"Yes, yes." Gretel pursed her lips and stammered, "Mr. Tony, look, look, can I be an adventurer?" ”

"Become an adventurer? Do you want to be an adventurer? Li Qingdao: "What's so good about being an adventurer?" It's hard and dangerous, and I can't make any money......"

In Li Qing's view, adventurers are not the kind of romantic professions in novels. In fact, adventurers are quite hard-hitting. Although there are a small number of adventurers who have taken one or two adventures and made amazing fortunes, the vast majority of adventurers are struggling with poverty, not to mention starvation, and often have to do some work that requires risking their lives, which is completely a risky and low-return life-saving work.

Gretel said, "But Mr. Tony, you're an adventurer too!" Besides, in the story of the bard, isn't it often that there are adventurers who find treasure and become rich overnight in an adventure? ”

"Hehe, I'll sue you for just lying in the story?" Li Qing shook his head amusedly, and said with a straight face: "Gretel, I came out to take an adventure because I had no choice but to do so." If I had to choose, I wouldn't be a risk-taker. ”

When he said this, he said in his heart that I am also a little rich man on Earth, and I am even more of a good imperial general on Earth II, adventurers, mercenaries or something, just cannon fodder under my hands, and I am an adventurer when I am crazy.

As he thought so, he continued: "Gretel, bards will never tell you, and those adventurers who have made a fortune will quit their adventures as soon as they break out. They won't tell you that nine out of ten adventurers live a miserable life of hunger and hunger all their lives. Half of these adventurers will die unexpectedly in the adventure. And even if they live to retire, most of them are disabled, injured, and impoverished. So, the adventurer is really not a good business. ”

Gretel bit her lip and said softly, "Since adventurers are so hard and dangerous, why do countless people become adventurers every year?" Why do so many adventurers venture into the Black Forest every year? ”

"Hehe, because everyone believes that they are the main characters in the minstrels' stories." Li Qing said with a smile: "People have a fluke mentality, and everyone has a time of blind impulse." Especially young people...... I don't know if you've noticed, almost the vast majority of adventurers are teenagers and twenties. And the older ones will basically look for a stable job, such as caravan guards, noble guards, and the like. Adventurers over forty years old can be said to be quite rare. Why? Because as you get older, you will be more aware of reality. Only young people will take risks and sell their lives because of their enthusiasm and dreams of getting rich overnight......"

Gretel was silent, thinking back to the adventurers she had seen, and finally had to admit that Li Qing had a point. Those groups of adventurers are basically young people. Very few middle-aged people over the age of forty appear in small groups of adventurers.

"So, it's better to be an adventurer than a hunter?"

"Although being a hunter is dangerous and hard, you have a traditional hunting ground, and although your life is not rich, you can at least ensure food and clothing."

The Hunter Village is undoubtedly poor. But in Li Qing's view, the lives of the villagers are at least more stable and safe than those of adventurers. Hunting naturally has a certain danger, but according to Li Qing's understanding in the past two days, there are really not many hunters who have died from hunting in the hunter village. Even in the battle to expel the Black Devil Bull, only three hunters were injured due to the timely retreat, which shows that the safety is far superior to that of the adventurers.

"However, what should I do if I encounter a demonic beast like the Black Demon Bull again?" Gretel looked at Li Qing and said softly, "This time, Mr. Tony helped us kill the Black Devil Bull and recapture the hunting ground. But Mr. Tony won't stay in our village for long, will he? After Mr. Tony leaves, what should I do if there are monsters like the Black Devil Bull that occupy the hunting grounds? ”

Li Qingdao: "Gretel, in fact, you don't want to be an adventurer, but you want to have the power of mine, right?" ”

Gretel was silent, and pinched the corner of her clothes a little nervously.

Li Qing smiled and asked, "An accident like the Black Devil Bull should rarely happen in your village, right?" After all, your village has been around for decades. If this is the case often, then the hunting grounds in the valley will not be called traditional hunting grounds, right? ”

"Indeed, as far as I know, this is the first time in decades that such an accident has happened." Gretel nodded and said, "But since there is this accident, it is inevitable that the same accident will occur again." And we can't always meet a kind person like Mr. Tony, so ......"

She took a deep breath, stared at Li Qing, and said seriously, "So, I want to learn from Mr. Tony!" After plucking up the courage to say this, she lowered her head in a cramped manner, blushed, pinched the corners of her clothes, and whispered: "I don't expect to be a powerful adventurer like Mr. Tony, as long as I can be half as powerful as Mr. Tony, no, as long as I can reach one-third of Mr. Tony's Cheng dΓΉ......"

Her voice grew quieter and quieter, and at last it was almost inaudibleβ€”she knew that her request was a little unreasonable, but she just couldn't help but want to say it. As for the results, she didn't expect much. Mr. Tony was able to kill the black devil bull and help the village reclaim the hunting grounds, which was already regarded as repaying her family for saving Mr. Tony, so how could she ask for more?

However, to her surprise, when she finished speaking, Li Qing did not hesitate much, and said with a smile: "Okay, I can stay in the hunter village and teach you for a while." As for how much you can learn, it's up to you. ”

"Really?" Gretel was surprised and jerked her head up, her face flushed with excitement.

"Of course." Li Qing smiled: "Anyway, your family has saved my life." And my life is very valuable, killing a small black devil cow can't be worth the kindness of saving my life. ”

"Great!" Gretel jumped up excitedly, and the teenage girl was as happy as a little girl of seven or eight years old at this moment. But soon, she reined in her excitement, and said with a sigh of urgency: "But, but my family is very poor, no, there is nothing of value that can be used as a tuition fee for Mr. Tony......

When she said this, she thought to herself, maybe, only my body is worth a little money. But Mr. Tony is so strong and handsome, he must have many beautiful lovers. Among his lovers, there may be a young lady from a noble family. I'm a rustic country girl, even if I strip naked in front of him, he can't look down on him, right?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel frustrated for a while.

Li Qing didn't know what the girl was thinking, and said with a smile: "I said, my life is very valuable, and a black devil cow can't be worth it." So I'm going to teach you for free. Tuition fees or something, you think too much. ”

Hearing Li Qing's words, the girl's heart was happy and frustrated, and she said in her heart that Mr. Tony really didn't look down on me......

And Li Qing secretly thought in his heart: When I first arrived in Guidi, the situation was unknown, so I would better stay in the hunter village for a while and figure out the basic situation of this world. Anyway, from time to time, adventurers and mercenaries will pass near the village, and from those adventurers and mercenaries, you should be able to get more information. During this period, teaching a student by the way can be regarded as repaying the Gretel family for taking care of him......

After confirming this, the two continued to walk in the direction of the village. And Gretel, who was originally shy and shy, has now become a lot more lively, talking and laughing with Li Qingyou all the way. Soon, the two of them walked out of the Black Forest and set out on the path back to the village.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw smoke and dust flying in front of me, but it was a group of soldiers heading towards the hunter village.

There were no more than a dozen soldiers in that group, all wearing leather armor and carrying spears, and their equipment looked very rudimentary. The leader was a knight in chain mail and riding a tall horse, looking majestic and untouchable.

Seeing the group of soldiers from a distance, Gretel exclaimed softly, "Hey, it seems to be Baron Hemmer's guard." Our village is not his domain, how did the baron's guard come to us? ”

Li Qing didn't know much about the situation here, so he kept silent, and walked back to the village with Gretel, who was full of confusion. And with him came to the valley. Seeing that the black devil cow, who was still helpless with the strength of the whole village, but was injured by it, turned into a lump of rotten meat and spread it in the valley, the girl's eyes first flashed with joy, and then she was deeply shocked. Looking at Li Qingshi again, his big sparkling eyes were already filled with obvious awe.

"Yes, yes." Gretel pursed her lips and stammered, "Mr. Tony, look, look, can I be an adventurer?" ”

"Become an adventurer? Do you want to be an adventurer? Li Qingdao: "What's so good about being an adventurer?" It's hard and dangerous, and I can't make any money......"

Gretel was silent, and pinched the corner of her clothes a little nervously.

Her voice grew quieter and quieter, and at last it was almost inaudibleβ€”she knew that her request was a little unreasonable, but she just couldn't help but want to say it. As for the results, she didn't expect much. Mr. Tony was able to kill the black devil bull and help the village reclaim the hunting grounds, which was already regarded as repaying her family for saving Mr. Tony, so how could she ask for more?

However, to her surprise, when she finished speaking, Li Qing did not hesitate much, and said with a smile: "Okay, I can stay in the hunter village and teach you for a while." As for how much you can learn, it's up to you. ”

"Really?" Gretel was surprised and jerked her head up, her face flushed with excitement.

"Of course." Li Qing smiled: "Anyway, your family has saved my life." And my life is very valuable, killing a small black devil cow can't be worth the kindness of saving my life. ”

"Great!" Gretel jumped up excitedly, and the teenage girl was as happy as a little girl of seven or eight years old at this moment. But soon, she reined in her excitement, and said with a sigh of urgency: "But, but my family is very poor, no, there is nothing of value that can be used as a tuition fee for Mr. Tony......

When she said this, she thought to herself, maybe, only my body is worth a little money. But Mr. Tony is so strong and handsome, he must have many beautiful lovers. Among his lovers, there may be a young lady from a noble family. I'm a rustic country girl, even if I strip naked in front of him, he can't look down on him, right?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel frustrated for a while.

Li Qing didn't know what the girl was thinking, and said with a smile: "I said, my life is very valuable, and a black devil cow can't be worth it." So I'm going to teach you for free. Tuition fees or something, you think too much. ”

Hearing Li Qing's words, the girl's heart was happy and frustrated, and she said in her heart that Mr. Tony really didn't look down on me......

And Li Qing secretly thought in his heart: When I first arrived in Guidi, the situation was unknown, so I would better stay in the hunter village for a while and figure out the basic situation of this world. Anyway, from time to time, adventurers and mercenaries will pass near the village, and from those adventurers and mercenaries, you should be able to get more information. During this period, teaching a student by the way can be regarded as repaying the Gretel family for taking care of him......

After confirming this, the two continued to walk in the direction of the village. And Gretel, who was originally shy and shy, has now become a lot more lively, talking and laughing with Li Qingyou all the way. Soon, the two of them walked out of the Black Forest and set out on the path back to the village.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw smoke and dust flying in front of me, but it was a group of soldiers heading towards the hunter village.

There were no more than a dozen soldiers in that group, all wearing leather armor and carrying spears, and their equipment looked very rudimentary. The leader was a knight in chain mail and riding a tall horse, looking majestic and untouchable.

Seeing the group of soldiers from a distance, Gretel exclaimed softly, "Hey, it seems to be Baron Hemmer's guard." Our village is not his domain, how did the baron's guard come to us? ”

Li Qing didn't know much about the situation here, so he kept silent, and walked back to the village with Gretel, who was full of confusion.
