Midsummer of 718 in the Dark Calendar, the northern border of the continent, the border of the territory of Pennia, the town of Limestone.

Sixteen-year-old Saul Drake has finally waded through the filth of the world and ushered in a new life, a new life.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, life is nothing more than a gain or loss in the end, in which you add and subtract, and time will pass.

When you're younger, many things look like the end of the world, but they don't, and maybe that's just the beginning of some happy endings. So Thor began to reluctantly search, looking for something that would make his life meaningful again.

As for those who have lost important ones, spend the rest of your life remembering them.

Waking up from his slumber last night, Thor clearly felt that his curse seemed to have dissipated and his body had returned to a healthy state. He felt that he had never felt so relaxed, and sure enough, only those who had lost knew how to cherish it better.

That night, Thor and Beth went to the market in Limestone, and then climbed the local Murm Mountains to vent.

However, it was already night, and only a few stalls in the market were still serving some snacks such as supper, so I could only taste the local food casually as a small celebration.

When the new day arrived, Thor deliberately took Beth to the market during the day, not necessarily to buy anything, but just to enjoy the breath of new life.

Gradually, though, Thor noticed that something seemed wrong with Beth's whole person.

Passing by some clothing and accessory stalls, Thor would ask if Beth was interested, and he really wanted Beth to share the joy with him, after all, it was not an exaggeration for him to say that he had escaped death.

However, Beth just shook her head all the way, and the whole person seemed very quiet. Thor couldn't figure out if she wasn't interested in these things in the first place, or if she had something in mind, guessing games had never been Thor's forte, especially girls' minds.

It wasn't until nightfall, as promised, that Beth washed up early, took off her clothes and hid in a blanket.

Thor held her from behind as usual, and she didn't refuse or respond, still so quiet.

"What's wrong with you, do you miss your family?" asked Sol softly, guessing.

Beth shook her head with her back to him.

"Actually, I've never thought of you as a maid, it's just a joke, you don't have to take it personally. And I told you from the very beginning of our meeting that I don't need a maid either. Saul thought for a moment and explained pointedly.

"No......" Beth seemed to pause.

"What the hell is that? I just woke up from a nightmare, and if there's anything careless and careless, tell me and I'll promise to correct it right away. Saul straightened her hair, a little helpless, he wasn't really good at coaxing girls.

"You don't trust me. Beth said suddenly.

"This ...... What do you say?" Thor was stunned, a little unclear.

If you want to talk about the problem of trust, when he was promoted to the third order, he put all his life and net worth wealth into her hands, isn't this still trust?

"Isn't your name Buu? But the name you called out at the top of the mountain last night was Saul Drake, and I was stupid for a long time about the name Buu. Beth suddenly explained weakly.

What is this? Or is it just because of this little thing? Thor was a little speechless.

"I didn't know anything about you when I first met you, and as a basic defense among adventurers, it's not strange to give me a false name, right? If you were to ask me a question of trust, I would answer that I don't trust anyone, because my life is at stake. ”

Thor thought about it for a moment, and then gave an answer seriously.

"Okay, so can I ask you a question? I wanted to ask you before. Beth seemed to turn a corner.

"You say. ”

"Why are you holding me like this?" asked Beth.

"Because I used to hold someone like that. Looking at the roof for a moment of silence, Thor replied.

What is the answer? Beth was a little confused for a moment.

"So are you looking for inner solace, or is it because you like to express your emotions in this way?" said Beth after a moment of silence.

"I don't like it, it's just that I don't mind continuing to keep things that have happened in my life, or the way I've gotten used to them, since they feel good. ”

"Of course, if you find this way unacceptable, I will stop immediately. Thor thought about it for a moment, maybe Beth didn't want to be too intimate with each other, and he was sometimes rough in his feelings.

"And who have you ever hugged like this?" said Beth, quietly tentatively.

"My first woman, no, not strictly speaking, was not my woman anymore. Even though we've had each other many times, we're not together after all. Thor recalled, wandering in the long river of time, and his tone was a little embarrassed.

"So one day, you're going to talk about me to the next woman you're holding?" asked Beth suddenly, a cautious smile creeping up on her lips.

This question...... It's a bit sharp!!Sol was stunned, feeling a little difficult to answer, but he gradually came back to his senses, it turned out that this little shiitake mushroom was waiting for him here.

Staring at her white, smooth neck, Thor was a little silent.

"Actually, I don't mind if you hold me like this, on the contrary, I hope you can hold me tighter and hold me like this all the time, so that I will not have a reason to leave this world. Beth's tone was a little nostalgic and a little sad.

Feeling her arms tightly in her arms, Thor increased the strength of his arms and hugged her tighter, but before he could say anything to comfort her.

“...... And if you're only sixteen years old, as you say, I'm eighteen!" Beth blinked mischievously as she looked back, her face a little scarred, but now it was extremely charming and beautiful.

Is this little shiitake mushroom so naughty? Thor was a little shocked.

"What the hell are you trying to say, but I advise you to think clearly, you should be able to feel my will by now, do you know what will happen if I push a little harder?" Thor jerked over against Beth, his expression a little dangerous.

"People who usually take the initiative to hold others like this are usually because they lack a sense of security in their hearts, or they can't get warmth for a long time, so I want to say, come to my sister's place. Beth lay there playfully, rubbing her little ass demonstratively, rubbing Thor all over the place.

I actually ...... Molesque! Thor was shocked again.

"I used to have a little money to spare, but now that this revenge has passed, I'm pretty much left now, are you sure you want to follow me?" Thor looked condescendingly at Beth's beautiful and smooth back.

"As long as you don't drive me away, no, I should say as long as you don't hate me. After all...... I look like this......" Beth's eyes were a little red, and she subconsciously raised her hand to cover the scar on her face.

"Are there any more men to shake?" asked Thor with a playful look on his face, pulling away her shielded hand.

"You're so annoying!" Beth squirmed again.

Thor smiled slightly, and the whole person relaxed and supported his body to slowly sink.

"Hmm......" Suddenly feeling the pain of tearing, Beth bit the sheet tightly and let out a muffled grunt, and tears finally welled up in her eyes. It's just that these tears are not because of sadness, but joy, and I finally have a loved one in this lonely world.

(Encountered by an unknown enemy here, the author resisted and finally died tragically, so omitted.) ）

Suddenly the waves rolled on the quiet sea, and a violent storm passed.

"Then I...... Is it your woman now?" asked Beth as she curled up in Thor's arms with a blushing face, and asked very shyly.

"You little maid, do you want to have another choice?" Thor smiled and bit her ear lightly, causing Beth to tremble again.

The next day, Saul woke up early and carefully prepared a breakfast and brought it to the bedside.

Beth had already woken up, but Thor didn't allow her to run around, so she could only curl up in the blanket with a red face.

"Actually, you don't have to be so nice to me!" Beth got out of bed with her clothes on, but she walked in an awkward position.

"Sorry, I was a little crazy last night. Fool, it will always be like this in the future, you better hurry up and get used to it. Thor raised his hand to rub her little head, and then had a good meal by the bed with Beth, feeling like she had finally had a little bit of life.

After breakfast, Thor revisits the town market with Beth again, and finally feels like everything is normal.

Originally, Beth was still shy and embarrassed, but was forcibly held by Thor, and the two took a good look at the market. Thor picked out some clothes and knick-knacks for Beth, all of which were stuffed into the storage ring.

"Don't spend money on it, I can't wear that much. Beth dissuaded Thor all the way, and took out the two dragon eyes that Thor had left her before, wanting to return them to Thor .

"Keep it for pocket money, it's not like you don't know my means of making money. Rest assured, the temporary hardships will soon pass, especially when we have our own territory, and everything will be fine. Thor said confidently.

Beth was a little puzzled, Sol had indeed said that he wanted to build a territory on the top of the hill before, she had thought that Sol was joking and didn't take it to heart, but now it seems that Sol is serious.

But how is it so easy to build a territory? Beth couldn't even imagine what to do or how to do it.

"You mean, we're going to ...... next To grab a territory?" asked Beth, somewhat uncertain.

"There's no need, and there's no point in stealing people's hearts. We might as well build one from scratch ourselves, what do you think is the most important thing for us at the moment if we want to build a territory?" Thor asked abruptly.

"Money, or food?" replied Beth thought for a moment, and there seemed to be many answers, but the most important ......

"What you said is important, but in my opinion, the most important thing at the moment is manpower. How many people we have determines how big we can do, and also determines the speed of construction of the territory. ”
