"Brother Lin, you didn't tell me that there is a big beauty hidden in your little blacksmith shop." Xiu Zhe opened his eyes and smiled bitterly, he was not surprised by how people thought of him, after all, he had practiced it for so many years.

"What is a little blacksmith shop?" Linus snorted and continued, "It's as long a story as your long hair, since Gran Mori was set on fire by some bastards, Sauta led an army of monsters into Huttonmar, and I can't be alone in the Elwyn Line, so I have no choice but to defend against monster attacks. ”

"Was that girl named Celia also a victim of this disaster?" Xiu Zhe sighed lightly, when he returned to Hutton Marr from the Dark Elf Kingdom, he saw countless small villages being looted, and naturally understood the pain, presumably Celia had also lost her own relatives, right?

"It should be, I rescued Celia from a coma at the hands of the monster, and she woke up and forgot everything but her name." Linus took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath and sighed.

"Once a beautiful girl like her is targeted by those people in the underground dirty industry, this life is probably over, although I am not a good person, but I can help if I can do it."

Xiu Zhe smiled, Linus is indeed this kind of person, remembering that Linas also helped him and his mother when the two met for the first time, and if Linus himself couldn't enter the Imperial Sword Academy without Linus, let alone meet Forrest Gump Zuo Luxi.

"It's a pity that the head of the village Xue Song didn't save that village, he is really good..."Lin Nas subconsciously said these things and hurriedly shut up, Xue Song has a great kindness to Xiu Zhe, he shouldn't reveal this scar.

Xiu Zhe sighed, when he was looking at the death list on the bulletin board, Xiu Xiangxue's name and Xue Song's name were very close, so he naturally knew that the amiable Grandpa Xue had passed away.

"I can't turn back time, I can't save their lives, people live and die..."Xiu Zhe muttered as he looked into the distance.

Linus didn't know what to say for a while, where did Xiu Zhe's attitude and mind look like a teenager?

"Let's eat, after eating, I'm going to go into the Loland Forest to look for the Black Nightmare." Xiu Zhe jumped from under the stake and said softly.

Linus nodded and walked into the blacksmith shop side by side with Xiu Zhe, and by this time Celia had already placed three bowls of porridge of different sizes on the table.

Celia, who was tearing a bag of mustard vegetables, saw Xiu Zhe come to the table and immediately bowed ninety degrees, and said apologetically in her tone: "I'm sorry, I was wrong." ”

Linus is her lifesaver, Celia has always wanted to do something for him to stay here and take care of Linus's life, and now she has caused so much trouble to Linus without repaying the favor, and she is extremely unhappy, and even if Linus is not there, she feels that she should apologize to Xiu Zhe in her heart.

Xiu Zhe glanced at Celia, at this time, the neckline of the girl's clothes was about to cover her chest, but she didn't know it.

Coughing dryly, Xiu Zhe looked away, and Linus also looked away a little embarrassed.

"I forgive you, hurry up and eat." Although Xiu Zhe wanted to say that he didn't really care, but looking at Celia's posture, he didn't say forgive her, this girl had to bang her head on the ground and apologize.

Celia straightened up and asked a little happily, "Really?" ”

"Really, let's eat." Xiu Zhe said helplessly, Guan Selia should be a few years older than herself, but what is the mentality of a child?

Xiu Zhe will keep a mind eye on everything, which is a habit that he has practiced after living in the jungle for a long time, although the Mind Eye given to Xiu Zhe by Pu Ermont does not see that Selia is deliberately pretending to be such a cultivator, and even the Mind Eye is not 100% trusted.

In any case, he had to remind Linus to be careful, not to be kind enough to be bitten back.

"Then let me reintroduce you, my name is Celia Crumin. Just call me Celia. As she spoke, Celia held out her hand.

"Xiuzhe." Xiu Zhe introduced himself again neatly, stretched out his left hand and shook Celia's hand.

As soon as he touched it, Celia's soft and boneless little hand was very comfortable to hold, but Xiu Zhe never coveted these, withdrew his hand and sat on the chair, Xiu Zhe picked up the spoon and drank the porridge.

Celia's cooking skills are good, this simple bowl of meat porridge can be said to be perfect, but Xiu Zhe didn't eat much, he could see that Linus had given his share of porridge to himself.

After breakfast, Linus started to light a fire while Celia brushed the dishes in the kitchen.

"Brother Lin, there is a ghost god who is biased towards the soul among the ghosts and gods in my mastery, and he told me that Celia is very dangerous, although I don't know what threat she has, but I still have to remind you, be careful in everything." Xiu Zhe came to Linus's side and forced the voice into a line into Linus's ears.

Linnas took the big hand of the wind and paused and nodded lightly at Xiu Zhe, Xiu Zhe didn't say much, quickly left the blacksmith shop and rushed to the Luolan Forest, after nearly two or three hours of travel, Xiu Zhe came to the outskirts of the Luolan Forest, this is not a gathering place for mercenaries or adventurers, so it is deserted, and Xiu Zhe also does not want to be noticed by others.

"Once you come into contact with that thing called the Black Nightmare, Kazan and I will do our best to protect your mind, all you need to do is to try it boldly." Pu Ermeng's voice sounded from the bottom of Xiu Zhe's heart, and Xiu Zhe nodded lightly and walked into the Luolan Forest.

Xiu Zhe's plan is very simple, go through the Luolan Forest to the center of the Gran Forest, if this does not encounter a black nightmare, Xiu Zhe can only choose to act with other mercenaries at that time, it is said that the more people there are, the black nightmare will be easy to attack.

The tall and thick trees of the Loraine Forest used to stand tall and thick would have shielded the trees from the sun in the summer, but now it is in ruins, and the charred trees are broken and fall to the side, looking desolate, not only the Glen Forest has been set on fire, but it has not escaped the disaster.

All the way through Luolan, during which Xiu Zhe met several teams, when these people saw Xiu Zhe, they didn't choose to come to talk, whether it was a mercenary or an adventurer, they all knew one thing, that is, don't talk to the lone ranger, because you don't know how terrifying the other party's strength is.

And Xiu Zhe is also happy to be idle, and he also doesn't want to have anything to do with these people.

The Loran Forest can be said to have been burned to the ground, except for some beasts, not even a goblin has been seen, and nearly eighty percent of the forest has been burned down, and there is no value in exploring treasures, so it can be said that the teams operating here are all accepting bounties to investigate the Black Nightmare information.

Xiu Zhe has been exploring the forest for two whole days, and now he is almost turning these two forests upside down.

"That's enough..."Xiu Zhe tossed aside the charred river fish in his hand with some irritation, he was now in the heart of the Gran Forest, but he didn't see the black nightmare.

There was no indication of the exploration team going berserk, as if the black nightmare had vanished completely.

Standing up and kicking out the fire, Xiu Zhe left in the dark, thinking that this time he could catch a black nightmare and investigate it to see what it had to do with the mysterious woman who attacked everyone in the Screaming Cave, but now he was busy in vain.

The clue about the mysterious woman was broken again, and Xiu Zhe wanted to go to the Cave of Sorrow to see it again, but just by virtue of his current status as a civilian, it was a fool's dream to pass through the Elwin line and reach the Dark Elf Kingdom unharmed.

Touching the dragon pattern gold card in his pocket, Xiu Zhe sighed secretly, he didn't want to have anything to do with the principality, and now he had to ask Yong Shili to open an entry certificate for himself.

And please Yong Shili also means that you must take her with you when you go to the Sorrow Cave this time, otherwise Yong Shili's temperament will definitely not agree to let him go alone.

"Let's wait until she becomes an Awakened." Xiu Zhe smiled wryly and found the nearest way back to Linnas's blacksmith shop.

When Xiu Zhe, who was a little dirty all the way back to the blacksmith shop, Linus was forging the huge meteorite, and Celia was pulling the bellows for Linas and constantly adding firewood to ensure that the blacksmith was always at the highest temperature.

Linus was so focused on forging that he didn't even notice that Xiu Zhe had already walked into the blacksmith shop, and Celia was just about to remind Lin Nas when Xiu Zhe stopped him with his eyes.

Without disturbing Linus Forging, Xiu Zhe took off his black robe and threw it into the washing machine, while he himself went to the open space at the door of the blacksmith shop and took out the Red Phoenix War Sword and the Dance of Fine Snow and began to hone his swordsmanship.

Immersed in swordsmanship, Xiu Zhe even lost track of time, and it wasn't until the sound of Linus hitting the meteorite stopped that he realized that the sun had set.

Putting the two knives of Chihuang and Xixue into the scabbards, Xiu Zhe wiped the sweat from his forehead, and Linus's voice came from the blacksmith shop: "You kid take a bath first and then eat." ”

Xiu Zhe smiled and walked into the blacksmith shop, at this time the meteorite on the forging table had been deformed, and when he came back at noon, the meteorite that was originally half an adult tall had now shrunk by a third and Xiu Zhe couldn't help but secretly wonder, if he came to forge it himself, he wouldn't be able to reach this level in two or three days, and Linus only took half a day.

Walking into the bathroom, the environment here is much worse than the conditions of the Imperial Sword Academy, not to mention the luxury of the castle where he temporarily lives in the Dark Elf Kingdom.

But Xiu Zhe never picked the bathroom door and started to take a shower, Linnas also specially prepared clean towels, bath towels and other toiletries for him, it was hard to imagine that such a rough man would be so careful, Xiu Zhe sniffed the fragrance on the towel and was sure that this was prepared for him by Celia.

After taking a shower, Xiu Zhe changed into the same black clothes as before, and put the sweat-stained clothes in the washing machine and started washing.

Walking out of the bathroom, at this time, Celia also prepared dinner for three people, looking at Linnas's rice bowl that was not a bowl but more like a pot and the stack of rice like a hill, Xiu Zhe smiled helplessly: "Brother Lin, is your stomach a bottomless pit?" ”
