Chapter 289: Post-War Reflections

When I opened my eyes, I saw a dark sky, dotted listlessly with a faint glow.

The dark red firelight swaying on the side, the residual warmth emitted was transmitted to me, warm, there was a feeling of home, in a trance, I seemed to return to the first night of the crossing, in the cold blood wasteland was rescued by Lal and them, four people around the bonfire, the lingering residual warmth, is also as reassuring as now.

There is no doubt that it is night, I am lying by the campfire, and the question is, why am I here, shouldn't I have been killed by Carrot? I slowly turned my head, and unexpectedly found a shadow with a slight white light in the firelight, squatting beside me for a half-rest, knees supporting my chin, gently closed slender eyelashes trembling slightly, the white cheeks, through the hazy background of the firelight, added a sacred and beautiful temperament, at this moment I appeared, my right hand, is being held tightly by two cold soft wattles, is so hard, as if I will fly away as soon as I let go a little.

"Alice......" I opened my chapped lips and exhaled softly, my throat drying up like a fire, making my voice a little hoarse and trembling.

I opened my eyes suddenly, and the silver eyes as beautiful as the stars made contact with mine, and then the tears flickered with ecstasy.

"Where's Carrot?" I held her hand behind my back and struggled to sit up, feeling a little weak.

"He's gone." The little ghost wiped the corners of his eyes, leaned up, and carefully held me steady.

"And then? Where are we? "I was still a little confused, and with a slight glance I realized that we were now in a small oasis.

"You fainted, so I'll take you here to rest."

"You, carrying me?" I glanced at the little ghost in amazement, and then she saw that her face was a little pale and haggard.

Just nodded slightly. As if it were a trivial matter, the boiling water was removed from the fire and poured into a cup. Then he gently brought it to me, and every movement was like a wife who took care of her husband in every detail.

"Thank you for your hard work, my little cutie." My heart seems to be blocked by something, I am grateful, and I am distressed, the little ghost is not very powerful, it must be very hard to be so far by a big man like me, and the most important thing is that her body is a ghost. Although it has been condensed into a physical entity, it is not afraid of the sun, but not being afraid does not mean that there is no harm or harm, and I seem to have such a scene in my mind - a petite figure, with the scorching sun on his head, enduring the pain of the scorching sun, carrying a man twice as heavy as her, gritting his teeth and staggering forward on the vast desert, dragging a long footprint behind him.

The little ghost didn't say anything, biting her lip. He buried his little head in my arms, as if this was the only way to find a place of peace.

I was amazed at the sudden silence of the little ghost, which was completely different from the previous noise. I didn't think much about it, and took a big sip of boiling water. The dry throat suddenly moistened.

The next moment, I was not only moist in my throat, but also through a cold feeling on the placket of my chest, and then I noticed the abnormality of the little ghost, and quickly put down the glass of water and lifted the little ghost in my arms.

What appeared in front of me was a pear blossom with a rainy face, and red eyes with teardrops. The little and cute Joan also dragged two small snots out of her nose. The whole face looked sparse, accompanied by the choked whimper. It's like a four- or five-year-old child crying his nose, which makes people laugh and feel distressed.

"What's the matter, my darling, who bullied you, why are you crying all of a sudden?" I panicked and hurriedly held up her slippery face with both hands, and gently wiped the snot and tears on her face with my thumb.

"Woo Xiaofan, I'...... I'm so scared. ”

The little ghost choked silently, and then threw herself into my arms, two little hands tightly wrapped around my back, a handful of snot and tears wiped on me, helplessly, I could only hug her, whispering in her ear to comfort, after a while, she calmed down, but her eyes were still red like a rabbit, cute little white rabbit.

"You had a lot of blood at the time." When asked why, the little ghost's face turned pale, Xiao Qiong's nose twitched, and there were signs of re-entering my arms, but she still held back, and said with exaggerated movements with her hands, her eyes full of fear and worry.

Blood? At that time, it was indeed quite exaggerated, I vaguely remember that before I fainted, my own blood had even soaked the dry sand, and if I were an ordinary person, I am afraid that ten lives would not be enough to die.

"I was a blood bear at that time, and my body was big, and that little blood didn't make me lose my life." I explained word for word, hoping to dispel the little ghost's inner turmoil.

"What you don't know, what you don't know, at that time, there was really a lot of blood, and it was shed all over the ground, just like Dad did back then, I, I ......" The little ghost shook his head, as if remembering some painful memory, shook his head in fear, desperately grabbed my shirt, and crystal tears kept sliding down his cheeks.

"Do you remember the past?" I took her into my arms with pity, hugged her gently, felt the person in my arms nodded, and my hands couldn't help but hug her tighter, hoping that my body temperature could warm her cold body.

Just like dad did back then?

I silently recalled the past of the little ghost, and a thrilling scene suddenly came to my mind - Alexander was covered in blood to protect his daughter, and the demons who would commit the crime in the future were slashed at his feet, and the ground was covered with blood and broken arms......

It probably stimulated her memories, it was thousands of years ago, and it should have been forgotten, but the scene of being covered in blood and bleeding all over the ground reminded her of the memories buried in the depths of her heart.

"Don't be afraid, my little cutie, I'm fine, it's all over." All I could do was keep kissing the moonlight. Constantly mending the broken heart.

"Xiaofan, don't leave me alone, you can't die. I can't die, I can't live without you, even if I die, I won't let you go......" muttered softly, the delicate body in his arms gradually became heavier, and finally there was an even breathing sound, but the two hands still held me tightly.

I'm tired, I'm sorry to hold her, and the desert night is starting to wind. I pulled out a blanket from it and wrapped myself tightly with the little ghost - the little ghost had been asleep for at least half of the day in order to recover her mental energy, and she was really tired today.

When the little ghost fell asleep, I moved slightly, changed positions, and then stared blankly at the bonfire, as if there was life in the flames, the flames were dancing, and the red charcoal fire below crackled, a warm place on a cold night. It's intoxicating.

After a stop with Carlot, he lost, and he lost so convincingly that he was almost killed in seconds when he turned into a blood bear. The difference in strength is too big, and I am surprised. He didn't express any surprise at this result, and perhaps, the moment he saw Karot kill Bashak's stunning sword, he had already lost.

Is there really that much difference between one's own strength and that of a real master? As I thought of this, I couldn't help but recall what Carlo had said to me before I fainted—an attack that couldn't deal damage to an enemy, and a defense that couldn't resist enemy damage, no matter how powerful. It's all useless.

What exactly does Carrot mean by that? He wasn't going to kill me. So what exactly is this sentence trying to sue me? Strength? I'm afraid not. At my current level of twenty-five, I don't think anyone can do it.

It seems that it is necessary to sort out your strength, maybe you can find something, I am only now real, I don't have a clear idea of the strength I have now, if it is known by other adventures, I'm afraid I will laugh off my big teeth.

First of all, I don't have an advantage in terms of attributes, like other adventures, it's five attribute points per level, but my equipment is good, plus the recent new Hradic block with all attributes +13, it is bound to make my land attributes a lot higher than the adventures of the same level, which is about equivalent to more than thirty levels of adventures.

Secondly, in terms of equipment, to put it bluntly, I can almost get together a spare set of gold equipment now, in this regard, I am confident that the adventure of more than thirty levels is not as good as mine, and the top equipment of the whole body makes me not inferior to the advanced adventure regardless of resistance, defense, attack, life and other attributes.

Again, skills, I'm afraid I don't need to say more, my biggest capital, the small BUG protection, has increased all my druid skills by seven levels, and if it weren't for it, I might still be a third-class transfer who is struggling in a certain area of the Rogge camp.

In the end, it is this mysterious redemption identity, in addition to allowing me to use other professional skills, according to the holy sword called Evrina, I can also allow myself to break the rules created by God.

The biggest benefit that came to me was not limited to the second, Farah said that the ability to use other professional skills to deepen the understanding of magic and moves is its greatest effect, and I also deeply believe that this is true, but unfortunately, my magic foundation is too weak, even with such an unprecedented advantage, I have no clue now. Druid's first-order magic and second-order polar storms, I can now do it instantly, the second-order lava boulder was originally stuck in a one-second bottleneck, and after getting the Hradic block, it can also be done in an instant, as for the third-order volcanoburst and hurricane armor, the bonus of the volcanoburst through the guò block, the casting time has been reduced to 2 to 3 seconds, and it can be shortened by about 1 second in time, and the hurricane armor is close to instantaneous, with Kane's book and blocks, even if I don't go out of my way to practice, it's no problem.

As for the latter, not to mention, breaking the rules, the ability of pet mutation has doubled my comprehensive strength, and I can further transform into a blood bear, and my strength has increased by more than one level, and even the Angeles Beast that terrified Andariel was almost eaten by me, if this is not called strong, then I really have nothing to say.

Just, is that enough? After sorting out my strengths, a question mark popped up in my mind, there is no doubt that none of these strengths were earned by my own efforts, in exchange for any druid who had the aforementioned qiē abilities. can do better than me, and with so many advantages, I seem to be satisfied with these abilities. I always like to compare those ordinary job transfers with myself, and then get complacent, this kind of behavior, now I think about it, it's like relying on my parents' money to compare with those ordinary people.

At the same time, I also have hidden shortcomings under these powerful forces, first, combat skills, even with Kasha's hellish remedy, compared with those adventures that have been practiced hard for more than ten years and decades, I still have a huge gap. But this is also something that can't be helped, who calls yourself a body crossing instead of a soul possession?

The second point, as mentioned earlier, magic knowledge is too weak, as an adventure, even if it is a barbarian, some basic magic knowledge is necessary, but I don't know anything, and I have so many advantages in vain and don't know how to use them, it's a waste.

The third point. Blood Bear Transformation, although it can multiply my strength several times, but for a true master, its flaws are still very big. The first disadvantage is that the body is overdrawn, if it is an enemy who knows me well. It can easily win by delaying as long as possible to drain my strength after I transform into a Blood Bear, and in addition to the huge side effects, it has a downside - the power and agility don't match! It's not that Blood Bear isn't agile enough, but the difference in agility is so great that it hinders the swing of power, and Carrot's "attack that can't damage the enemy" is probably referring to this shortcoming.

After figuring this out, my heart was relieved. The disadvantages are not terrible. The most terrifying thing is that there are shortcomings and you don't know it, and there is actually another meaning in Carlot's words. In addition to pointing out my shortcomings, he also made me realize that my own combat style is too messy, to put it simply, there is no style, every adventure has its own fighting style, and then follow this style, choose the right skills and combat methods to master all the way, and I, because I have mastered too many abilities, but I haven't found my own fighting style until now, and if this state continues, I will only end up with a "everything, everything is sparse".

Most of the shortcomings take time to change, such as the problem of combat skills, you can slowly accumulate a lot of battles, and there is magic knowledge, so I can only take more time to read the magic foundation that Farah gave me, although it is jerky, but no matter how difficult it is, it is difficult to mathematics, physics and chemistry.

What gives me a bit of a headache is the problem of the blood bear, without him, the ratio of strength and agility is too great, if I can, I want to even the strength to agility, I would rather sacrifice attack power to keep up with the flexibility of the body, the idea is good, but it is impossible to achieve.

What can I do to improve this shortcoming, my head is starting to hurt, because my body is too large and my speed is lagging behind, what should I do?

Wait, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, isn't it because my body is too big? Can you try to zoom out a little bit? Well, it seems that the size of the blood bear is related to strength, if you can shrink the body, and you don't want to suppress too much power, you can only compress the energy in the body, change its density, this work is not as easy as saying it in the mouth, it should be said, it is no different from the difficulty of creating your own magic, and if you are not careful, it may become a play with fire*, it seems that it is a long-term goal, you have to be cautious and cautious in the long run.

Although most of the problems can not be solved immediately, but since then I have always felt that I am still clear in my heart, quite a bit of openness to open the bright moon and see the blue sky, especially to find a way to improve the blood bear, although I don't know if it can be realized, but there is a hope, the future direction of a short time is also clear, at this moment, many of the confusion that is lingering in my heart has been swept away, although the body is weak, but the mood is extremely happy.

Suppressing the urge to look up to the sky and howl, I lowered my head and kissed and kissed the little ghost's sleeping pretty face, until it was full of saliva, and the little ghost also babbled and frowned, as if I had some nightmare because of my actions, and I still hugged her delicate body and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I didn't have any discomfort in my body, although I turned into a blood bear, but because I didn't consume much energy, I was killed by Karot, so I just slept and replenished it, eh? Should I thank him?

Along with me was our Holy Highness, and the sentimental Alice of the previous night was revealed after only a short sleep, and the little ghost with a full spirit and an unforgiving mouth appeared before me again.

"The twenty-fifth level druid was defeated by a paladin of more than sixty levels, shame, it's really embarrassing, don't say that you are my slave when you go out on the street in the future, this saint can't afford to lose this person."

"Please rest assured, I won't say such a thing if I am killed, and I can't afford to lose this person." I replied viciously, and then again, what does it mean that level twenty-five is defeated by a mere level sixty? Do you think it's a ranking system?

"Hmph, as long as you give me another five years, no, three years is enough, and then I will definitely be able to defeat him, and I will be ashamed." Thanks to last night's reflections, I am now full of confidence and confidence in my future.

"You don't believe it? Or let's make a bet. "Seeing that the little ghost fell silent, I immediately felt like a cat caught by the tail, and I almost opened my heart and said, "Amen, believe in me and have eternal life."

"Give me ten broken diamonds, and I'll believe it." The little ghost had a business smile on his face.

"You're a real snob." I glared at her, wanting to see what kind of face the man who had taught her to be so virtuous.

"No, this is just an equivalent transaction, a person as noble and pure as this saint, speaking with a conscience is quite painful, of course there is some price to pay."

Speaking of which, I'm still ironic around ***, I'm called an angry from the heart, evil to the side of the guts, weird screamed "grasp the milk dragon claw hand", and the left hand skillfully pierced under the hem of her priest's robe, crossed her slippery thighs, slender willow waist, and then grabbed on the pair of plump.

"Wow badass, pervert." The little ghost, who was unaware for a while, suddenly screamed, and only after I made enough money did I think of the inside of the diamond necklace.

Hmph, this little pervert, maybe it was on purpose, smelling the lingering fragrance in my hand, I thought triumphantly.

After a few hours of walking, looking at the sun gradually stretching overhead, I sighed helplessly, took out the teleportation scroll from the inventory and was about to open it, but the lazy crow in the air sent a message that there was someone in front of me.

I was overjoyed, and hurriedly put away the teleportation scroll and rushed over, and in the distance, more than a dozen figures appeared on the other side of the desert.

"Brothers, let's inquire about something with you, is the Temple of Death far from here?" This is a mercenary team, and I have already judged from a distance that it is impossible for the transfer team to be so large, and only the weaker mercenary team will form a dozen people to survive.

The leader was a desert warrior, he looked at Xiaoxue with surprised eyes, and I who was riding on him, I don't know when such a master appeared in the Western Kingdom again, and it seems that he is still practicing alone, this world is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and I don't know which one is better than him and Lord Sharna, he sighed and thought, but he didn't dare to slack off at all.

"Lord Druid, it's not far away, less than a hundred kilometers ahead." He returned respectfully.

"Oh?" I didn't expect the little ghost to walk around yesterday and get close by mistake.

Thinking of this, I thanked me and was about to say goodbye to these kind mercenaries when the leading desert warriors suddenly stopped me......
