Chapter 6: Ophelia's Plan (Part II)
In front of the cave, the original noise was replaced by silence, and the few magical beasts that were lucky enough to survive lay in place and shivered. Lu Kaifeng glanced at them, but did not kill them all. Seeing that Lu Kaifeng didn't make a move, the demonic beasts immediately turned around and ran wildly, and disappeared from the eyes of the two of them in a moment. Retracting the blade into its sheath, Lu Kaifeng handed the weapon back to Ophelia.
"Come, give it back to you."
"Oh, good..."
Behind her, Ophelia's small mouth opened slightly, and her royal blue eyes were full of incredulity, and it wasn't until Lu Kaifeng reminded him that he came back to his senses and took his sword.
Who the hell is he? How can it be so strong? That's sword energy, right? Could it be that his strength has reached the level of a sword master?
Ophelia had countless question marks in her heart, not only her, but also ordinary people would probably have such doubts. Of course, she couldn't figure out where Lu Kaifeng came from. This question is estimated to be known only to Lu Kaifeng himself in this world, if he doesn't say it.
"Let's go."
"Hmm."
The two of them walked through the corpse, and their figures disappeared into the trees.

In the cave, several people were holding torches and probing around. One of them had short, energetic brown hair, a pair of equally brown eyes under thick eyebrows, and a hideous scar on the standard Chinese face that crossed the bridge of his nose, making him look mighty and brave. And his burly body, the scarred silver-white heavy armor and the giant two-handed sword in his hand made him look like a god of war, giving people a strong sense of oppression. He stood on top of the altar, looking at the center of the magic circle, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, one of the people in search walked up to the altar, he was dressed in the standard silver knight armor of the Slair Sect, and the left arm of the heavy armor was engraved with a sword and fire. The man saluted the burly figure slightly, and said, "Your Excellency Fiderosa, apart from the fact that the stone gate can be seen to have been destroyed by a skilled swordsman, and the concentration of dark elements here is unusually high, there is nothing else to discover. β
"Thank you, Lord Kyle."
"It's not hard, it's an honor to work with His Royal Highness the Paladin."
"In that case, let's leave, and ask His Excellency Kyle to report back to His Highness the Pope when we get back."
"Please rest assured that you will perform your duties well in the future. But outside..."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." As he spoke, O'Lelian's eyes still glistened with excitement.
"Your Excellency, in the next one..."
"No need, you go back first and report to His Highness the Pope."
"Uh... Be! All staff, retreat. β
"Yes!"
Not long after the Knights of Slale left, a figure also entered the space. The figure also left after a few turns, muttering before leaving:
"Are you late?"

As night fell, Lu Kaifeng, with the help of Ophelia (in fact, it was completely Ophelia's fire sickle) lit the fire, disposed of a monster that said to be a demonic leopard (this was also handled by Ophelia), and then set up the grill.
"Don't you really want the fur of this demonic leopard? The leopard skin jacket made of it was very popular with the upper class nobles, and it was said to be quite valuable. And if you look at this pattern, maybe the quality is quite high. As he spoke, his little hands were still rubbing over the fur.
In fact, Ophelia also likes leopard fur clothes, which are the most suitable for wearing in the cold winter, not to mention keeping warm, but also beautiful and comfortable, but this demonic leopard was killed by Lu Kaifeng after all. It was nearly evening, and both of them were looking for food, and the demonic leopard was probably also foraging, and when they saw the two of them, they pounced straight on Ophelia. In its opinion, the strongest of the two is probably Ophelia, as long as she is eliminated, then it can have a full meal. As a result, the moment it entered the range of the sword soul, it was targeted by Lu Kaifeng. Originally, the Demon Leopard was also a fierce creature in the Angles, and its swift speed even the most powerful monsters were unwilling to provoke it. As a result, in Lu Kaifeng's hands, its speed advantage was killed before it could be brought into play
"No need, you can take it if you want, and it will be used as your food expenses."
Seeing that Ophelia still likes this fur, Lu Kaifeng gave it to others directly, anyway, he is not familiar with the place, and he may be slaughtered if he sells it himself, so it is better to push the boat down the river, and he may have to trouble others in the future.
"Hmm... Well, I'll pay for it, and what do you think of fifty gold Nayats? The price is about the same for outside purchases, but the ready-to-wear garments can be doubled. β
Although she didn't know what the food fee was, it didn't prevent her from understanding what Lu Kaifeng meant. After a moment of silence, Ophelia did not hesitate too much before making this suggestion. Her bid was actually quite high, and the purchase of those merchants outside was actually about forty Nayat gold coins, and she saw that the quality of this fur was good, so she raised her bid. She didn't plan to slander people, after all, Lu Kaifeng only had amnesia, not dementia, and when he found out, he might be able to leave a good impression. It's always good to win over a strong person like this.
"Okay, listen to you. Come, the meat is roasted, and I'm dying of hunger. I knew that I would have carried one from the cave and left. β
"If it doesn't work that way, it will attract a lot of demonic beasts."
"I'll just talk about it. Well, it's delicious! β
"It's really good, Lu Kaifeng, your skills are quite good."
"I used to go to barbecues with my friends, and after a long time, I got cooked. It's just that there is no seasoning, otherwise it is more delicious..."
Outside the cave, there are demonic beasts wandering from time to time. But after seeing the head of the demonic leopard, they all left, although the smell of barbecue was very tempting, but it was still a matter of life, they didn't want to be the head of the leopard at the mouth of the cave. Of course, this move is also Ophelia's suggestion, saying that it can be a lot cleaner.
When they finished eating, they both rested. Originally, Ophelia planned to be on duty at night, but Lu Kaifeng felt that the two of them were too tired to be on duty, so forget it. Moreover, he has a sword soul, so Ophelia can rest assured that he sleeps closer to the entrance of the cave, so that he can react immediately even if there is danger. Ophelia still wanted to insist, after all, it would be too dangerous to be on duty in the forest without a night, but after seeing Lu Kaifeng's eyes, she dispelled her thoughts. Those deep black eyes were full of confidence.
The night passes in this tranquility.
In the next few days, Lu Kaifeng and Ophelia went all the way to the northwest, where there was a city in the Duchy of Calea, called Conteseno, although it would be closer to the city of Dano in the Church of Slais to the northeast, but the city of Dano and Conteseno were separated by the branch of Anglis, and Ophelia was a native of the Duchy, and her home was in the capital of the Duchy, Garimon. On the way back to the city, Ophelia told Lu Kaifeng about his identity, and gave him the common sense of the principality. And since they went northwest, the other day they were still in the depths of the mountains. On the way, he encountered several famous magical beasts in the Anglis Mountains, but they were all killed by Lu Kaifeng as soon as they appeared. In this process, Lu Kaifeng's control of the sword soul is getting deeper and deeper, and now the range has reached 100 meters, which is a very terrifying range, but Lu Kaifeng feels that there is still room for improvement.
Ophelia's perception of Lu Kaifeng has been refreshed many times.
I don't know if he will accept students?
I don't know when such a thought came to her heart.
