Although there is no snow, Rapolle's winter morning still feels like it's freezing cold. In this hilly region, the cold winds from the north rushed unhindered to the south, leaving a chill all over the place.

A hot breath exhaled from his mouth, and Li Fang raised a giant sword with a thick adult palm, swinging it with a sharp tearing sound in the air.

The sword had just been bought from the blacksmith's shop, and according to Rapoll's commandments, it was not opened.

As the workout continued, almost transparent sweat began to seep out of his hot body, but his movements not only did not stop at all, but accelerated a little, as if he had inexhaustible physical strength to vent wantonly.

In the process, he gradually became a lot more proficient in every movement.

"Keep your voice quiet, and if you make a noise with a guest, you have to apologize yourself." At some point, a woman in a beige thick winter coat appeared in the room, holding a clean towel in her hand.

Annabelle's voice was not loud, and it was easily drowned out by the hissing of the giant sword, but Li Fang's movements quickly slowed down, and the rhythmic sound in the air also subsided.

"Got it, I just couldn't help it just now." Stopping his movements, Li Fang took the towel handed over by Annabelle and wiped the sweat off his body.

"Do you feel a little aggrieved, you can't even do a good workout here." Annabelle leaned against the door, her hands clasped to her chest.

"This can be said to be aggrieved, as long as you don't put all your equipment on yourself like today." Li Fang pinched the hot and humid towel in his hand and smiled cheerfully: "I suddenly wanted to try the feeling of going all out today, and I forgot about myself for a while." ”

Annabelle had a look of helplessness on his face: "Don't be too obsessed with that power, you have to have the skill and spirit to be able to harness it." And we've just opened, so don't mess around. ”

"I promise there won't be a next time!" Li Fang raised his right hand and saluted Anna, which he had learned from the guards in the city.

Annabelle laughed at the action, and she turned to open the door, but as if remembering something, she turned back and asked, "Did you make that equipment?" ”

"Ah, which one?"

"Don't play dumb, it's the one who can resurrect people."

Annabelle's sudden serious tone made Li Fang sigh lightly and replied, "Well, I've already bought it." ”

"What do you think...... Is it possible for me to go back to what I was before I woke up? Annabelle's eyes moved to the side, and her pretended calm tone could not hide the mood she was very concerned about now.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say, how can reasonable people live when they're dead? And it's back to the way it was. ”

When he was with him in the past, Li Fang talked to Anna about some equipment that he planned to make, and the resurrection armor was naturally among them.

Li Fang walked past Anna, walked out of the door, and was about to go upstairs. This is the basement.

But a soft hand grabbed his arm tightly.

"If one day I can't resist the urge of the Awakened anymore, let me give it a try, okay......"

Without looking back, Li Fang could think that her expression must be heavy, just like his mood at the moment.

"Now, isn't that pretty good?"

Wouldn't it be nice to have a sheltered house, to have a lot of things to do every day to run an inn, and to stay away from those powerful enemies?

"But I've always had that dangerous thought," Anna's calm voice came from behind, "and though I have been able to restrain my movements, it occasionally pops out of my head. ”

"To be honest, I'm kind of scared of it, I'm afraid of getting out of control."

Holding Anna's wrist with his backhand, Li Fang turned to look into her eyes, "Even ordinary people occasionally have dangerous thoughts in their heads, and even destroy the world, so Anna, you don't have to worry too much, you just have one more thing in your head that you can't do anything, you can only pop up from time to time to disgust your clown." ”

"I'm sure you can beat it, so stop thinking about that piece of equipment, I'm really not sure."

Letting go of the clenched hand, Li Fang turned around and was about to go upstairs after finishing speaking.

"If you're not sure, why did you make it?" Behind him, Anna's voice pierced his disguise.

“…… If you want to use it, you can't be the first to use it. Li Fang walked downstairs as if he was running away, and behind him, Annabelle looked helpless and followed slowly.

……

Within a few days, Li Fang was approved by Sidney to run the inn with Annabelle.

After the initial desertion, the store gradually gained some popularity, perhaps it was a beautiful woman like Annabelle sitting at the counter that attracted customers?

Li Fang has always been in charge of chores, running up and down when he has nothing to do, of course, he actually has a lot of free time. Every morning when the market on the other side of the long street was lively, he would begin to practice his swordsmanship, and in Annabelle's words, he now just had to keep repeating and master the ordinary swordsmanship he had learned.

The meals served to the guests in the inn are all ordered from nearby restaurants, but except for breakfast, Li Fang eats all made by Annabelle herself, and the taste is not how delicious, but it will be much better than ordinary meals.

Because he had just said those words to Anna, Li Fang didn't stay in the kitchen to eat honestly, he picked up a few breakfasts, said hello to Anna who had just entered the kitchen, and went out.

Leaning against the wall next to the door, Li Fang finished breakfast in a few bites, clapped his hands, and prepared to go back to talk to Anna again, at least discuss with her how to test the effect of the resurrection armor.

But not far from his side, there was an inexplicably familiar voice.

Turning around, there were three people dressed in black and white nun's clothes, and from their figures and voices, it could be inferred that they should not be very old.

Why does it feel familiar? Is it an auditory hallucination?

"I can't help it, let's try my luck again." After one of the nuns finished speaking, she turned and walked towards a nearby inn, and was greeted by a young man with a surprised face.

"Candace?"

"Li Fang?"

Although I haven't seen each other for more than a year, I still have some impressions of those blue eyes in my mind.

……

"So you're collecting donations from poor people outside the city?"

Originally, in two days, after the business in the inn stabilized, Li Fang planned to go to the huge monastery in the center of the city to inquire about Candace, but he didn't want to meet it today.

After a brief exchange, Li Fang learned that Candace and her companions had volunteered to raise money for the hungry and hardy people outside the city of Rapoll, and wanted to buy some bedding to send over.

They came to their homes one by one to ask for help, but they didn't receive much money for two days.

"Well, the priests in the monastery are very supportive of our approach, but we haven't done it well yet."

Candace smiled regretfully, and her hands naturally rested on each other's lower abdomen, looking very decent. She hasn't changed much from a year ago.

"By the way, you're following...... What about that one? Candace asked suddenly.

"Well, that's a long story." Li Fang didn't know how to explain for a while, "Anyway, do you have time to go in and sit, this shop is now being taken care of by me and Anna." ”

I can't tell her the facts, but she's all here, so it's better to "explain" it.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we're going to continue to collect donations now, so we're not going."

Declining the invitation, Candace persuaded her companions to walk over the inn in front of them and towards the next point.

When passing by Li Fang's side, she whispered: "I won't tell you about Sister Anna, but it's inconvenient now, I'll come back later." ”
