Chapter 001: Old Friends Gathering

Mi Jiu, who has been single for 30 years, never expected that he would die in the arms of a woman.

Liu Fang is very good to Mi Jiu, and she is very pure.

She took the initiative to chat with Mi Jiu every day, and the messages sent to her by Mi Jiu were always replied in seconds, and she liked every circle of friends that Mi Jiu posted.

When Mi Jiu is under great pressure at work, she will actively talk to Mi Jiu and channel his emotions; when Mi Jiu is sick, she shushes the cold and asks for warmth, and personally buys medicine for Mi Jiu, so that Mi Jiu can recover as soon as possible; sometimes the project task is too heavy, and Mi Jiu works overtime all night and does not return, Liu Fang will accompany Mi Jiu to work overtime in the company.

She doesn't mind that Mi Jiu looks mediocre, she doesn't want Mi Jiu's house or Mi Jiu's car.

Of course, she doesn't want Mi Jiu either.

Well...... You must have guessed their relationship. Mi Jiu is a programmer, and Liu Fang is their product manager. She only hopes that Mi Jiu can help her write code without distraction. Other than that, the two don't seem to have anything else to do with each other......

Why did Mi Jiu die in Liu Fang's arms?

That day, Liu Fang and Mi Jiu worked overtime until two o'clock in the morning. The two stopped by and went home together. Both of them dragged their tired figures, chatting with each other, complaining about the boss, complaining about life, complaining about the lack of money and working more.

At this moment, on the other side of the street, a drunk man staggered towards him. When passing by Liu Fang, he suddenly snatched Liu Fang's handbag and ran away.

Before Mi Jiu's head could react, his body chased after him first.

The drunk man saw that Mi Jiu was about to catch him, and with the strength of the wine, his heart was crossed, and he took out the fruit knife hidden in his clothes and stabbed Mi Jiu. Right in the heart of Mi Jiu.

Blood oozed out, and in an instant, it stained Mi Jiu's shirt red.

The drunkard woke up in an instant. He originally just wanted to scare Mi Jiu and tell him not to chase him, but he didn't expect to kill someone.

The drunk man panicked and fled.

When Liu Fang arrived, Mi Jiu's consciousness began to blur a little. Liu Fang looked at Mi Jiu lying in a pool of blood, a little moved, more afraid of nervousness and guilt. Nervous, she called an ambulance and called the police.

When Liu Fang held Mi Jiu in her arms, Mi Jiu couldn't hear what Liu Fang was saying to herself.

Although they were colleagues of each other, they didn't look up and saw each other, but Mi Jiu hadn't carefully observed Liu Fang before.

Now that the two are so close, Mi Jiu realized that Liu Fang was very handsome, just like the ring she wore on her hand with a blue-green shimmer, unassuming, but shining.

Isn't there a saying that "peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic", I can't imagine that my ordinary life is actually the end of a hero saving beauty. Before dying, there was a beautiful woman who hugged herself and cried bitterly for herself, which is not in vain.

Thinking about it, Mi Jiu felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to continue thinking. Finally, he closed his eyes.

----------

Mi Jiu's consciousness gradually returned, and he felt a jolt. Could it be that I was in an ambulance? I was still saved! But why did I jolt so badly......

"Hey, Eli, don't sleep!" an unfamiliar voice woke him up.

Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going? Mi Jiu looked at the face that was getting clearer and clearer in his sight, and three philosophical questions sounded in his mind.

Wait, the person in front of me just called himself Eli Mi Jiu was shocked: I can't be crossing......

When he was confused, a large number of memories belonging to another person hit Mi Jiu's mind.

???

I actually became a member of the big family of the starting point orphanage!

Mi Jiu digested the memories she had inherited. His current name is Eli Leslie and he is fourteen years old. Five years ago, my father was attacked by wolves on his way to deliver wine and died, and my mother became ill and did not survive the winter two years ago.

He has an older sister, Moira Leslie, who is two years older than him, who works as a waitress at the Looklike Hotel. He also has an eighteen-year-old brother, Krapen Leslie. Sitting beside him, who had just woken himself up, was Clapen.

This world is a world with mysterious powers such as arcane, and the human race is not the only intelligent life, on this planet called Minahi, there are many intelligent races living here.

Mi Jiu has read a lot of online novels before, and compared to his own life ending in the way of "heroes saving beauty", it should be a kind of luck to be able to travel to another world. Does this count as "good people have good rewards"? Mi Jiu laughed secretly in his heart.

I don't know if I'll be able to find a way to travel back in the future, but for now, I can only live well with a new identity. Mi Jiu sighed in his heart: From now on, I will be "Eli Leslie".

At this time, Eli and Clappen were driving a horse-drawn cart with ten barrels of brandy in oak barrels. They were going to deliver the wine to the "Likeness Hotel".

The Leslie family has a vineyard in the middle of the forest not far from the village of Tavolib, and after the grapes are fermented and distilled to make brandy, they will deliver the wine to several inns in the village of Tavolib. Leslie's home-brewed brandy, although strong, has a soft taste and pure aroma, and is very popular in the village of Tavolib. This is also a source of income for the Leslie family.

Leslie's family of three siblings lives in the house left for them by their parents in the village of Tavolib, and lives a life of dependence on each other.

When Eli was woken up, he looked around, and he looked at Krapen as if nothing had happened, and asked, "This is not the 'Inn' yet, didn't you say let me sleep before I get there?"

Clappen looked elated, as if he had suddenly remembered something, and said to Eli excitedly: "Do you remember, the other day Moira told her of a news she heard in the inn that a bard was coming to the village of Tavolib in the near future. I've done the math, it's today!"

"Bard?" Eli searched for his inherited memories, "I remember the last time the bard was there, he could create a magic rope, and he could control that magic rope as he pleased, which was great! ”

Clappin nodded again and again, and said with relish: "And last time, Your Excellency was just a first-order bard, listening to Moira, this time it is a third-order bard, he can use third-order spells! Krapen then sighed, "It would be nice if we could also learn to use spells." ”

"Maybe we can try to get that Excellency to teach us. Eli chimed in.

"But we have nothing to reward him, unless he falls in love with the brandy we make. Krapen sighed, and then said with a longing: "If I can learn the second-level spell, I will leave the village of Tavolib and go to see the outside world, I will go on an adventure!"

Eli smiled: "Even if we only learn a first-level spell, we don't have to worry anymore, we will be attacked by wolves on the way to deliver wine." ”

Although there is a mysterious power such as arcane in this world, most people are ordinary people who cannot learn arcane and exert extraordinary power. Eli and Clapong have not shown much talent in this area at the moment.

But now Eli didn't have time to lament the medecinity of his crossing, and as soon as he finished speaking, he and Clappen caught a glimpse of several wolves following them in the shadows.

"Eli, you crow's mouth!" Clappin immediately became nervous, and complained to Eli. He clenched the spear in his hand, and at the same time raised his whip and struck the horse quickly, and the carriage accelerated abruptly. And the wolves quickly caught up.

Seeing this, Eli picked up the longbow beside him, and with an arrow on the bowstring ready to shoot, he smoothly pulled the arrow to the side of his cheek, aiming at the nearest wolf.

The memory of your actions when you were on Earth is still there!

In his previous life, one of Mi Jiu's few hobbies was archery. In his spare time after work, he often runs to practice archery, and he once joked with a friend: "I hate not to live in ancient times, otherwise I must be a famous archery master in the rivers and lakes." ”

Sou!

The arrow went off the string and hit a wolf in the head. Eli did not dare to relax in the slightest, and immediately fired several arrows in succession, and the arrows did not miss, and several wolves were killed in an instant. The other wolves let out a "whoop" wail, but did not dare to go any further, chasing the carriage driven by Clappen.

"It's amazing when you've been so good at archery!" Clappen let out a big breath after a distance from the wolves, and he immediately looked at Eli in surprise, shocked by the mastery of the archery skills he had just demonstrated.

"I've put a lot of effort into it in private. Eli explained.

"You're only fourteen years old, you have such a great bow and arrow skill, maybe you have other untapped fighting talents, you shouldn't be buried! you might become a warrior, even a paladin!" Clappen said to Eli with some excitement, as if he saw Eli's bright future, and if his brother could achieve something, he would be sincerely happy and proud.

"You'll have to show your hand to the third-order bard and ask him to evaluate your talent. Moira and I will make the conditions for you. Let's hope our wine will win his favor. Krapen added.

Eli was just about to reply to Clappen when he suddenly realized that someone seemed to be watching him, and a feeling of being watched spontaneously arose. Eli looked around alarmedly, but didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. And when he looked at the sky, he saw several crows looking directly at him.

Eli grabbed Clapin and said to him, "Don't you think those crows are watching us?"

"What crow?" Clapin looked up at the sky, but he saw nothing.

In an instant, the crows were gone, as if they had never existed. Eli wasn't even sure if he was hallucinating.

Clappen laughed and said, "You're all because you've just encountered a pack of wolves." But you reminded me that we should hurry up. I'd also like to see my Jessica sooner. ”

"Jessica Sidney?" Eli asked, the name of Darcy Sidney's daughter in the village of Tavolib.

"She'll be your future sister-in-law, and while she hasn't accepted my quest yet, it's only a matter of time. Clappen suddenly felt a little shy.

At this moment, Eli saw a figure waving to them in front of them, as if he wanted to hitchhike. When they saw the man clearly, they realized that he was a dwarf!

"Little brother, can I take a ride to the village of Tavolib? The dwarves spoke, his voice particularly loud.

"Of course, that's where we go. Clappen gave the dwarf a seat in a friendly way.

As soon as the dwarves came up, they immediately felt very crowded, although the dwarves were only 4 to 4.5 feet tall, they were strong and sturdy, and their average weight was almost the same as that of humans, especially the male dwarves, who were generally much heavier than the male humans. They reach adulthood around the age of 40 and generally live up to 450 years.

"Did you travel here?" Eli asked.

"No, I used to run a blacksmith shop in Tavolib for a while, but that was sixty years ago, when your parents were probably not even born. Then I went on an expedition and now I'm back for a party of old friends. At that time, we went our separate ways here to investigate something, and we agreed that fifty years later, even today, as long as we are alive, we will return to the inn in this small village and share everything we know. The dwarf replied.

"Fifty years? That's a long time, half a lifetime of us. Clappen sighed.

"Child, give time to life, not to life. The dwarf patted Clappen on the shoulder.

"It hurts!" Clappen cried out in pain when he was slapped by the dwarf's heavy, powerful hand, and then he said with some embarrassment, "I don't mind, but I can't hold back for a while." ”

The dwarf smiled apologetically at him, "I'm sorry, I didn't control my strength. ”

"So, the bard who came to our village today is also your companion, and he has come to the meeting to fulfill your agreement?" Eli thought it should not be a coincidence.

"Berkeley Green, yes, I miss this elven friend of mine so much!" the dwarf nodded.

"He's an elf!" said Clapin excitedly, "Eli, ask him for archery." I've heard that the elves love humans who are gifted with singing and dancing, and they will be friendly to humans who are skilled in bows and arrows!"
