"Does this thing called a forum really work?"

After posing for the photo, Tang Rui, as a model, looked at Jem with some suspicion who was laughing because of the sand sculptures of the players in the forum.

"It should be fine, at least Edward and they will definitely come." Jem wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and calmed his breath before replying, "We just have to wait and hope." ”

"Oh, that legendary top player who will intervene whenever there is a mission, Edward, the mission madman." Tang Rui nodded in some surprise to show understanding: "That's not stable!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy, not to mention whether they can defeat the Barren Giants, just finding the right way to get here is enough."

But Jem didn't think things were so rosy, and he looked up at the gloomy sky: "It's still not snowing." ”

was splashed with cold water by him like this, Tang Rui didn't continue to talk more, and honestly sat on the ground and nibbled on rye cakes.

Jem originally wanted to say something about the battle after that, but when he saw Tang Rui's delicious food, he couldn't help but gently rub his stomach, feeling a little hungry - the little thing he ate at the banquet before was already digested after some exercise.

It's better to fill your stomach before fighting.

For players, there's no such thing as being on the battlefield and being so nervous that they can't eat.

With this thought in mind, Jem was about to eat some jerky wheat crackers to cushion his stomach, but suddenly sensed someone approaching.

He suddenly turned around, and found that the middle-aged hunter from before had come to a place close to them at some point.

"Are you really not going to leave the village?" The middle-aged hunter didn't notice that Jem was startled by him, and when he saw the boy turn his head to look at him, he asked very naturally.

Tang Rui, who didn't notice the other party approaching at all, was even frightened out of the rye cake in his hand, and he himself was directly choked by the rye cake, hammering his chest hard and coughing.

After confirming that the other party was not hostile, and that the yellow word 'villager' was still floating on his head, which represented neutrality, and that there was no blood bar representing the enemy, Jem was relieved.

"Didn't you already say it before, uncle?" Jem replied earnestly, "If you want us to escort you to other villages, then you still don't want to be sensitive. ”

After all, you can still get experience points by fighting with the barren mountain bandits, and if you are lucky enough to blow up the barren mountain giant with other players, maybe something good will come out, on the other hand, escorting the villagers is such a thing, neither the task is refreshed, and the other party has no intention of providing any reward, so it is thankless to do.

"My name is Joey Ampit, you can just call me Joey."

"Okay, Uncle Joey, we'll try to hold back those thieves after the village is cut off, and give you time to relocate." Seeing what the other party wanted to say, Jem immediately added: "Don't worry, it's safer for you to do this than to protect you on the road." ”

"That's not what I meant."

The middle-aged hunter Joey was a little annoyed: "What I want to say is, don't you think about it for yourself?" ”

"Huh?" Jem, who originally saw the other party's menacing momentum and thought he was going to have a big fight, was stunned for a moment.

"Although I admit that you are very powerful, but there are many bandits in the barren mountains, and with the help of giants, you will definitely not win!" The hunter looked uncomfortable: "The queen of the palace is equivalent to sending him to death...... Are you not afraid of death? ”

"Death or something, we're used to it for a long time."

Jem's expression softened, and he replied softly.

Not to mention that he can resurrect himself, even if the group is really wiped out, he will be a good man again three days later!

Although it used to be difficult to close in a small dark room for three days, now as long as you can still watch the forum, it is okay for only three days!

Joey froze.

He thinks he has a bit of knowledge, every time he hunts something good in the village, he takes it to the nearby city to sell, and he has long practiced his eye for seeing people over the years.

Therefore, he knew very well that when the young man named Jem said this, whether it was the contempt for death in his eyes or the indifferent expression on his face, it meant that the other party was not joking.

I see, I should have thought of it a long time ago.

Joey was a little annoyed.

When he was in the city, he had heard from a friend that some small churches would put those professionals through all kinds of extremely rigorous training since they were young in order to train them to obtain divine charism.

When they were young children, they threw the professionals who had mastered some survival skills through training into the cruel battlefield, and with the baptism of iron and blood, those professionals grew up quickly, exercised a solid mind, and became the mainstay of the church.

The same must be true for these two teenagers.

is obviously still so young, but he has such outstanding strength, coupled with the eyes that are used to seeing life and death, and can turn a blind eye to death...... What kind of cruel and harsh experience has it been to be able to create such eyes?

Did you witness the deaths of countless companions and friends? Or have you been on the verge of dying several times? Or has you experienced an extremely sad separation, and even your heart has been hollowed out?

Perhaps they are so anxious to face the situation of mortality, that they regard death as the only way to escape the cruel land of reality.

Thinking of their past 'encounters', Joey couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

"You don't need that, the little one has to have the child's son! It's not right to think of death as relief, come with me! From now on, it doesn't matter if you are an ordinary child, I will protect you! So the fatherly Joey sincerely said to Tang Rui and Jem, "Let's start a new family, and it's okay to call me daddy if you can!" ”

Jim:???

The boy couldn't understand what kind of strange thinking the other party's brain had gone through, so he suddenly recognized his father through the above dialogue.

In contrast, Tang Rui, who was originally a little honest or off-line, was much more direct.

"I refuse."

He looked at the wheat cake that fell on the ground with some regret, and then continued: "Obviously, when you encounter danger, you even lose your home and run away with your tail between your legs, so I don't want you to be my father, who knows if you will throw us away next time you encounter danger." ”

When he said this, Joey suddenly showed a thunderous expression, like a zombie, with a look of self-doubt, and staggered away.

This made Jem, who had been holding his old groove, nowhere to vomit, and uncomfortable.
