02 Yu Hang, Ranger

"Uncle Zhang, thank you~"

At the dock in Yuhang, Li Yiru was waving to people on a medium-sized fishing boat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The middle-aged man named Zhang Sibo was dressed in linen clothes often worn by fishermen, his skin was dark, his body was very strong due to his daily fishing boats, and his appearance was quite honest.

"Just by the way,"

While directing the workers on the fishing boat, he smiled at the two girls and said:

"Xiao Lizi said that if no one picks it up, you will use a very exaggerated way to cross the sea - bah! The one over there! Don't be lazy! - I'm going to sea today, so you're having fun. ”

"Have a nice trip~"

Watching Zhang Sibo's fishing boat sail away from the port, Li Yiru pursed his mouth:

"Why does everyone think we're going to play, and what's that exaggerated approach?"

"Because according to our strength, this trial is almost just playing, after all, it's just a probationary exam,"

Li Xiyue looked at the sea:

"As for the way, don't you want to call 'it' as a mount?"

A little further from the shore, in the clear blue waters, there is a large shadow larger than the dock area, which is almost impossible to spot unless you look at it from the air.

"Hey, hey, I can't hide it from you,"

The red-haired girl waved her hand towards the sea, and took her sister's arm as the shadow slowly left:

"Okay, let's go to Yuhang City to play."

Didn't you say it yourself to play?

Li Xiyue blinked and walked towards the city gate with her sister.

……

Li Xiaoyao's birthplace was still some way away from Yuhang, but with the development of the local Ranger Guild, the small village has been included in Yuhang, which has expanded into a medium-sized city, and in fact, many villages and towns along the coast are protected by the Ranger Guild of Yuhang, and it is okay to say that they belong to it.

"It's getting more and more lively here, maybe it will become the size of Suzhou or Beijing in the future."

Li Yiru was talking to her sister, looking around as she walked along the crowded street towards the Ranger Guild.

"The walls have been demarcated,"

Li Xiyue followed the red-haired girl:

"And we haven't been to the big cities."

"I know, but if you become a ranger, you can go on a mission on business, and at that time, Daddy can't ban traveling far under the pretext that we don't have experience,"

Li Yiru muttered and turned the corner:

"Obviously, when he was about the same age as me, he was fighting big monsters."

“……”

The brunette girl paused in her footsteps:

"Miao Jiang...... Is it? ”

……

The southwest area of Yuhang City is a cluster of residential areas and mixed markets, the most obvious symbol of which is a four-storey building with a golden-red main body, and a plaque hanging on the lintel with four powerful characters written on it: "Fairy Sword Inn".

In front of the inn is a market street, although today is not the day of the market, but the various stalls and shops on the road are also frequented by many residents and travelers, among these busy shops is a very ordinary white two-story building, but in front of it hangs a huge red "Xia" plaque, very eye-catching.

"Hey...... Every time I see the appearance of the Ranger Guild, I don't want to go in......"

Two young girls walked towards the small building, but one of them was quickly distracted by what was around them:

"There's a new product in the Strange Things Museum......"

"The boss of the heirloom weapon holds a ......"

"That confectionery shop looks like it's holding a tasting ......"

Every time Li Yiru wants to turn around, she is always dragged back to the right path by her sister.

"You can only play after passing the trial."

Walking to the bottom of the big plaque of the Ranger Guild, Li Xiyue let go of her hand and turned to stare at her sister with dark eyes.

"Well, well."

The red-haired girl withdrew her gaze from the nearby bookstore and turned to the ordinary-looking Ranger Guild:

"It's just a trial for a trainee ranger, so how can it be difficult for us?"

With that, he strode in.

……

"We'll get as soon as possible" "Look at this" "Unexpectedly" "Really lucky" "Troublesome"

The furnishings in the lobby of the Ranger Guild look no different from that of a normal restaurant, with some square tables and chairs for the Ranger to rest and chat, and three waiters in green costumes behind the counter. Now, except for a few unidentified people who were at the counter, the others gathered in twos and threes to discuss or observe the many paper walls around them, all of them were rangers.

Some of them carried swords and swords, with strong muscles, and carefully looked at the mission notices such as bodyguards and guards, while some of them were dressed in long robes, with indifferent expressions, quietly looking for content where powerful demons were blocking the way, and a few of them carried hoes and shovels, dressed as peasants, and from time to time they also "Oh! There are little monsters in the northwest farmland to make trouble, let's go catch it. He shouted.

Li Yiru, who had a different hair color, walked into the lobby and slightly attracted the attention of the rangers, but quickly took it back, obviously they were already familiar with this little girl, and those who were close nodded and smiled at her, and the red-haired girl also responded with a smile.

“…… Please find it as soon as possible. "Of course, in my experience, such simple tasks can be done very quickly."

When Li Yiru walked to the counter, a girl had just finished registering the task, turned around and found the red-haired girl, and her eyes widened in surprise.

She looked to be about the same age as the sisters, wearing a purple and yellow scholar's gown, a bachelor's hat of the same style, short hair to the ears, a slightly pointed chin, a round round, watery eyes and slender eyebrows.

"Ah, I'm sorry, because this hair color is rare, and I wonder how it grows...... Uh, sorry! The girl who realized that she had said the wrong thing covered her mouth and ran away.

"What......" Li Yiru scratched her head, "Is red hair so scary?" ”

"She claimed to be a student at Yangzhou Academy, and she lost her pet cat when she was passing by here to visit relatives in Suzhou," the elderly waitress behind the counter smiled, "Why don't you take this task directly after you complete the trial?" ”

"It sounds simple, but I'm not very good at dealing with small animals......"

Li Yiru looked at her sister beside her:

"Xiaoxi should be fine."

"Maybe,"

Li Xiyue withdrew her gaze from the door and nodded slightly:

"And what about our trial today?"

"Sister Xianglan is waiting for you on the second floor,"

The waitress stood up with the newly registered mission notice, ready to go and paste it on the wall:

"Congratulations in advance on becoming a Ranger."

"Hey, thank you."

Li Yiru waved to the waiter and pulled her sister up the stairs next to her.

……

"The final test is actual combat."

The second floor of the Ranger Guild is composed of several partitions, each of which has elaborate carved wooden tables and chairs, as well as decorations such as flowers, plants and frescoes, and in one of them, a woman wearing a blue cotton skirt, dark purple shoulders and cloak, with jade hair, willow eyebrows, and soft faces, is behind the table explaining to the sitting sisters.

"Generally speaking, the trialist will be asked to get his Ranger badge through a pre-arranged passage for weak monsters."

She got to the bottom of it.

"However, based on your strength, I have decided to increase the difficulty."

"Huh? Don't, Aunt Lan. ”

Li Yiru sat up straight in surprise,

"It's going to delay shopping."

The implication is that no matter how much you improve, you can pass it, right?

Li Xiyue looked at her smile and didn't say anything.

"This is the starting point,"

The woman known as "Aunt Lan" expressed her opposition with her actions, and raised her hand to open a wooden secret door in the wall, revealing a downward passage.

"Inside is a small labyrinth, and some of the little monsters I caught on my journey that match your strength, all you have to do is to go through this labyrinth to my [sister] and get your own Ranger badge."

That doesn't sound like much of a departure from the original plan.

"Labyrinth, ......"

Li Yiru walked over and looked at the passage, and there were some strange animal sounds faintly coming from inside.

"Aunt Lan, will you put a treasure chest at the end of a dead end?"

"That's, secret, secret."

Aunt Lan winked at them.

"That's right, it's not too far to go straight from here to the 'Fairy Sword Inn'."

Li Yiru took her sister's hand:

"So, here we go!"
