Chapter 1: The Tale of a Boy, a Maiden, and a Wolf

It's twilight.

The sea of trees reflects the sunset, and the sparse clouds on the horizon are clear and golden, as if they are burning, and the whole world is orange and red. The eastern sky is like a gradual curtain, from pale blue to deep blue, to deep purple, and then twinkling with stars, and the blue moon rises from the direction of Hailin. On the sky dome, some deep curtains are dotted with a dazzling galaxy.

Quilrod sat alone on the rotten wood, sipping his wine and watching the sun sink below the col. The glow faded and the forest began to darken, with strange glowing plants appearing here and there. Beneath the curly trombone fern in the distance sat a few shy little creatures, the forest elves, who watched the humans curiously from afar. The huge chalk below is actually a rock giant, and it moves from time to time so that the annoying winged lizard behind it doesn't always want to climb into its cheek holes.

When Quelod saw Scarpe coming out of the tent, he quickly and carefully put away the kettle, stretched and prepared to get up. In the distance, the elves were frightened, and with a loud sound, they turned into scattered points of light and dissipated into the darkness. The rock giant shook its body in shock, and the winged lizard, which was trying to climb upwards, lost its footing and fell.

The small movement finally caught Fang Yuan's attention, and he glanced back to check it. Just after eight o'clock, the atmosphere in the camp entered the state before the battle. Although the task has not yet been finalized, the leaders of each team have begun to contact their team members, roll call, and gather, and the rest of them are also checking their weapons and equipment.

Fang Yu himself is also making final preparations. The alchemist carried a lot of belongings, and the two huge chests filled them, so Skape specially assigned a pack beast for him to use. The last equipment to be examined was placed alongside the tent rolled up, at the top of the pack beast's saddlebag, and beside it hung two huge rattan boxes, which he had spent a great deal of effort not removing.

Fang Plover couldn't help but pat the Tesov dragon lizard a little annoyed, and motioned for it to squat down a little.

But the Tesov dragon lizard, carrying so many heavy loads, snorted heavily, clearly upset with his actions. Fang Yu almost laughed angrily: "Good guy, your temper is not small. ”

He was about to use the last resort - but a fair, slender hand came into his field of vision, and it gently grasped the handle of the box, and lifted it up as if it were weightless, and placed it on the ground.

Fang Yu was stunned-

The quiet girl came to him at some point, and looked back at him with a peaceful look. She was almost as tall as a square plover, her long silky hair was like a silver satin that reflected the starlight, the tips were curly, and a pair of canine pointed ears stood up vigilantly on the top of her head, and her white and soft fluff was slender and fluffy.

The skin is the color of milk, the beautiful face is like the petals under the moon, with crystal clear dew, it is a cold and clear spring under the slender eyebrows, and the star-like eyes are forever pouring out a timeless poem.

When Fang Yuan's gaze met that quiet and elegant gaze, his heart immediately fluttered and jumped wildly.

“…… Mi, Mia? ”

This girl, who was full of mystery from top to bottom, was the temporary commander sent by Flor. She was also the liaison with the other teams involved in the mission: her Electors were of the Forest Folk of the Wilderness Country of Rotao, a country of seclusion that was apparently not subject to Rotao's seclusion.

She's quiet and reserved, like an elegant, lonely female wolf - but she's actually very easy to get along with, but she doesn't like to talk. She doesn't usually interfere much in the daily affairs of the adventure group, and she is a big beauty, so everyone in the team likes her, and almost no one has any opinion on this 'Miss Commander' who fell from the sky.

Except for Miss Scarpet.

Miss Scapet always suspected her of ulterior motives. Of course, Miss Scarpey couldn't trust all the people of the Great Guild, but Fang Yu had reason to believe that she was more targeted at Miya, out of a jealousy between small women.

Fang Yu herself only knew the ID of Miya, and she didn't seem to be a member of the Jeffrey Redcoats, but the Descendants of Flor was originally a Drafter Alliance composed of more than a dozen guilds, and it was not surprising that she came from any other guild.

Because of the reason for being responsible for maintaining the war equipment, Fang Yu was often able to chat with her, which once caused all the perverts and ghosts in the group to cry wolf howls and shout that they would also become alchemists. However, this evil trend was quickly suppressed by Miss Scarpet.

"When will my blade be repaired?" Miya's voice was soft, and her tone was unhurried, much like the wind blowing through the forest.

"Ah, it's been fixed, and the overload of the power structure is easy to solve, but the speed gear is too high a level for me. I've made a temporary compensation plan, and although it doesn't affect the use of the blade itself, the 'Swift Burst' skill of the equipment ......."

"Blocked?"

"Well, I'm sorry." Fang Yu scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter, I know best what the condition of my own equipment is, you've done enough. Also, there has to be a beginning in a chat, doesn't it? ”

What she meant...... She wants to talk to me? Fang Yuan's mind was a little blank.

But he immediately burst into excitement again, like any big boy at this age who is full of confidence and fantasies, and his words about the beautiful opposite sex are always full of too much deconstruction and misunderstanding.

Mia looked up at the things on the back of the Tesov drakemon and said, "I'll help you." ”

"Ah, no need to ......"

Miya glanced at him and shook her head: "You can't do it, the alchemist's strength is too low." ”

How can a man say he can't? But after Fang Yu saw her tearing down the tent as if she were pulling a page, the corners of her mouth twitched and she couldn't speak.

can only blame the setting of the world itself, the attributes of the life profession are not much different from ordinary people in reality, and the combat rank often has a high attribute bonus, of course, such as Quelod and Miya, who are lightweight, are generally more powerful.

However, this world has never been deliberately designed to be like this, and human beings have never grasped the laws behind its operation, in fact, it has been like this since the first Elect came to this world.

No one knows if the new world is a natural formation or if it is something of the Lord. Is it a game of a high-dimensional civilization, or a natural universe that exists in itself in a higher level?

Everything is like a mystery.

As if she could feel his gaze behind him, Miya lowered her head and said, "Take advantage of this time to fix your clockwork fairy." ”

"Ah, okay."

During the day, the clockwork elf was just running out of mana, and it only needed to be recharged. Fang Yu opened the shell and pulled out the pillar crystal inside, inserted it into the slot on the magic furnace behind him, and then looked up to see Miya help him with the alchemy tools.

She half-crouched on the ground and continued as she examined her tools in detail, "Your clockwork elf controls it well, and some formal alchemists may not have this level. ”

“…… Actually, it took me a long time to learn, about three months? ”

The Clockwork Elf is a special tool that can only be manipulated by alchemists, and its appearance is a spherical structure, composed of two brass shells on top and bottom, which is driven by a magical-infused astatic crystal pillar inserted into its core, and flies through two pairs of artificial cicada wings connected by rapid vibrations and hinges, while the remote sensing stone embedded in the shell can achieve a certain degree of visual link, which is convenient for reconnaissance.

However, manipulating the clockwork goblin is a very complicated job, and it took Fang Yu a long time to skillfully manipulate it, and this progress is not slow, but it is definitely not fast. It is said that the recruiter of the profession can get started in only half a month, which is still average.

Miya stopped and turned her head sideways, just in time to see her near-perfect side face, her skin crystal jade. She asked, "yes, I heard you don't have magical adaptability?" ”

“…… Yes. ”

"In fact, there are many Callers who do not have magic adaptability, and the harmony of glow stones also varies from person to person, some people have particularly good harmony, but some are almost impossible to harmonize. Also, do you know what magic adaptivity does? ”

"Ah, I do know this, because most of the special powers of the New World come from the alchemy inherited from the primeval times, whether it is the 'magic guide' that is commonly used as a tool, or the 'battle equipment' that is used as a weapon, or those large 'battle-level weapons', the core of which is driven by the transformation of the magic power stored in the crystals of different elemental attributes through formulas. Therefore, when using these tools, people need to have the corresponding attributes of magical adaptability, otherwise irreversible damage will be caused to the body. ”

"In addition, I've heard that fire-based magic is more suitable for melee combat equipment because of its explosiveness and aggression, so most of the fire-based magic adapters are warriors, such as Mr. Quelode. Thunder-based mana adapters are usually archers and gunskeepers, such as Miss Scarpae. In addition, there are those with strong recovery and those with high durability of water mana adaptation, and those with high durability. ”

"Finally, most of the 'magic guides' that are used as tool manipulation are powered by non-attribute crystals, so ordinary people who don't have magical adaptability can use them, but they also need to have relevant expertise."

Miya looked at Fang Yuan, who knew all about these 'common sense', without saying a word, and waited for the other party to finish speaking in one breath before quietly asking, "That's pretty much the case, but since you also know where your advantages lie, why don't you stay in the safe area and become a life professional?" There are also many outstanding beings among the life and career callers. ”

"That's because I want to take risks," Fang Yu smiled nonchalantly, "I've been like this since I was a child, it's impossible for someone like me to be quiet, even if I don't have magical adaptability, I can choose to be an alchemist who acts with the adventure team." ”

Miya listened noncommittally, indifferently took off the last heavy object and put it on the ground, and then took out a star dagger: "This dagger, please help me fix it too." ”

"Ah, now? It may be too late in time. ”

"It doesn't matter, how much can be repaired."

"This dagger ......" Fang Yu couldn't help but be speechless when he saw the dagger handed over by Miya, the dagger was covered with criss-crossing scars - he couldn't imagine how he could turn his sturdy battle equipment into this.

"Mia, what ...... is your battle gear?"

Miya didn't say a word. For a moment, Fang Yu didn't know if he had read it wrong, he seemed to be a little embarrassed to see Miya. After a while, she explained, "Because of my profession, I may be a little aggressive in my fighting style. ”

Fang Yu then remembered that the opponent's battle blade was almost like this a week ago. He secretly looked at the other party, and it was really hard to imagine how such a quiet and elegant person could be 'aggressive' in his way of fighting.

"The dagger won't be able to be maintained for a while, but you're leaving our adventure group after this mission, right?"

Miya replied, "No hurry. ”

"Not in a hurry?"

"Yes, put it there for you first, it's okay." Miya looked at the things that had been sorted out and nodded, "The others should be ready soon, let's see you in the camp." ”

Fang Yu hurriedly stopped her: "Wait, Miya. ”

Mia stepped back, looked back at him.

Fang Yu was just about to say something, when the night sky above his head suddenly brightened, interrupting what he was about to say. He looked up and saw a golden thread streak across the dark canopy, bright light reflected in the dark pupils, falling north.

"That's ......," Fang Yu was stunned.

“…… The battle level was delivered from the Holy Serpent, and it seemed that the battle had already begun. ”

The girl's eyes reflected this brilliance, and she raised her head and said. Then she withdrew her gaze and looked at Fang Yu quietly, as if waiting for his next step.

"That I ......" The sudden situation made Fang Yu a little flustered: "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to say it...... Concentrate...... Stay safe. After saying this, he just wanted to slap himself in the face, and he said something inexplicable.

The other party looked at him without saying a word, and the bright light just outlined the expressions of the two of them at this moment from the staggered light and shadow, and Fang Yu lowered his head in some embarrassment.

"The same goes for you." She turned around and left a faint sentence before leaving: "Ed, this industry pursues geniuses, without talent, there is no future in this circle...... after all"

The girl's figure faded into the melting moonlight.

After a long while, Fang Yu came back to his senses from his sluggishness. In the direction Mia left, the moonlight through the trunks and low-hanging branches seemed mysterious and deserted, and green moss covered every bulge, stone or rotten wood.

Just as he saw it in the daytime.

……

Rainbow Alliance, the main camp of the Spear of the Silver Forest.

"Commander, the Holy Snake is still cruising back and forth between the two areas of A430275 and A430289."

"Report, two regiments of the Jeffrey Redcoats are coming out of the area around the south bank of the Golgong River."

Inside the small marching tent, the chandelier on the ceiling shook with the shaking of the ground, and the attendants of the Silver Spear had to protect a large pile of paper documents and maps on the table. From time to time, a herald would push the door open and staggered past his departing colleagues.

KUN LOOKED UP.

"Don't move, it's out of focus again," Xiaocha pushed his glasses not far away, and there was a look of annoyance in his brown eyes. She raised her hands and pointed a window that no one else could see: "Twenty-seven or eighteen years old, why are you still as frizzy as a child?" ”

KUN frowned.

"Don't frown, it's ugly."

The former gasped: "Black tea, don't shoot it yet, it's the right thing here." ”

Black Tea stirred the air disapprovingly, although it seemed to others that there were only some staggered colored lights, and replied, "That's not good, it's the decision of the club above, of course, you can also try to convince the investors that as the star players of the guild, they may be able to give you a face." ”

"They'll just give money face."

"If you know, it's good."

"But they're not here now!"

"That doesn't mean I'm not doing my job," Black Tea replied, "I'm very professional." ”

"But how do I feel like you're having fun?" KUN LOOKED AT HER WITH A DARK FACE.

Black Tea bent her eyebrows, trying to restrain herself from laughing, she didn't want the other party to be annoyed: "It's nothing, it's just a routine." Well, you can continue to care about your own affairs, but remember not to show superfluous expressions. ”

KUN'S FACE WAS STRAINED.

The people around him lowered their heads and snickered.

At this time, a messenger hurriedly walked in and said, "Commander, the target that the wind element detector has just detected in the A430275 direction has been deformed, and it has split from one to two, one of which is relatively small, and it is preliminarily estimated that something should have separated from the Holy Serpent. ”

There was a sudden silence in the tent.

"Gyroplane!"

KUN and Black Tea glanced at each other.

Black Tea also realized the seriousness of the problem and put down the 'camera' in his hand: "Do you want to notify the general manager?" ”

KUN shook his head: "Don't worry, has the delivery direction been calculated?" ”

The messenger nodded: "The landing point should be in the southeast area of the ruins." ”

"Wait, Ruins?" Black Tea was a little surprised: "It's not ...... in the ruins"

"Do you have any details on the distribution of forces over there?" KUN interrupted her.

Black Tea thought for a moment, "There is half a group over there, and I just entered that area not long ago, and the scout came back with the news in the afternoon." ”

"ABOUT FORTY," KUN REPEATED, "INTERESTING, THIS IS NOT THE MAIN FORCE OF THE JEFFREY REDCOATS, IT IS A MERCENARY?" ”

Black Tea nodded.

"INTERESTING," KUN SAID TO HIMSELF AS HE WALKED OVER TO THE TABLE AND GENTLY FLATTENED THE EDGE OF THE PARCHMENT MAP WITH HIS HAND, "THE PEOPLE OF THE FLEUR SHOULD KNOW VERY WELL THAT I AM HERE, AND THIS IS A COVER-UP...... Or is there more intent? ”

He ran his fingers across the rough map and looked up. "Let's get the manpower ready."

"Wait a minute," Black Tea stopped him. "KUN, the two regiments of the Jeffrey Redcoats are still on the south bank of the Golgong River, and ...... thing in the ruins?"

BUT KUN REPLIED, "SO IT'S A MAMO." It doesn't matter, just pass on the order, and I'll take care of the problem. ”

The black tea smacked for a moment, then nodded.

……
