Chapter 21: Rest
If you want to estimate Annabelle's current strength, Li Fang feels that Cynthia should be close to this period, as long as the demonic qi is released, Anna can now face five demons, but she may not be able to escape with her whole body.
It can be said that with Annabelle's current strength, she is very stable in charge of the NO.39 area, and she can easily complete the task, and she no longer needs to attack and throw "tear gas" all night like she did at the beginning, and she can win directly just head-on!
Li Fang can be regarded as having realized why so many big swords like to be brainless and reckless when performing tasks......
As long as you don't receive any tasks to encircle and suppress the awakened, you should be able to pass the past few years safely.
In order to prevent the ranking from rising too quickly and receiving the dangerous task of crusading against the Awakened, Li Fang came up with an idea to let Annabelle hide her strength in front of Kimir. For example, every time you complete a mission without injury, you should also add a little trace of serious combat to yourself.
Although it is likely that he will only be able to deceive for a while, there will be more time for Li Fangzan to praise the gold coins and let Anna's own strength grow......
At night, the sky is cloudy.
The snow in the air has not stopped, falling quietly, and pedestrians will feel a chill on their faces from time to time. Li Fang was already wearing a thick coat at this time, but Annabelle beside him was still wearing the same equipment, of course, both of them wore a hooded cloak to keep warm from the wind.
The big swords can use demonic energy to regulate their body temperature, no matter how cold or hot they are, they can't affect them, which is what Li Fang envies very much, and sometimes he even thinks if he should find a way to let the organization transform him.
"Anna, just find a place to rest here, I'm fine."
Because of the sudden snowfall, she was worried that Li Fang would not be able to stand sleeping in the wild on a snowy night, so Annabelle wanted to go to a nearby village to rest.
But now it was dark, and it was not suitable for hurrying, and the two of them happened to pass by a hillside with a steep slope.
"Okay, here it is." Annabelle drew her greatsword from her back, pinpointed a depression, and with a quick swing of her arm, mud and rocks flew everywhere, and soon a cavern large enough appeared. She also piled dirt in the hole** to block out some of the evening breeze with snowflakes.
"Let's go in, I've paid attention to the strength, it shouldn't collapse this time...... I'll go get some firewood and come back. ”
The last time I stayed overnight like this, there was a collapse accident, but fortunately it was just a fright......
Li Fang entered this well-sized cave, first cleaned up the ground, laid a layer of carpet on the side of the cave that was relatively dry and flat, and then took out the sleeping bag from the package and spread it out on the carpet.
Soon Annabelle returned, unwrapped her snow-covered cloak, and put the dry wood she had collected into the open space reserved in the cave.
The sparks of the jump grew larger, and the light and temperature brought the environment of the cave back to a comfortable level.
After eating dinner, she rested for a while, and seeing that Li Fang hadn't warmed up yet, Annabelle asked, "Aren't you practicing today?" ”
"Uh...... Time flies so fast, okay, okay, start right away! ”
Li Fang stood up to warm up, then took out the ordinary iron sword he had with him and began to practice it according to the movements Anna had taught.
Soon after coming to this area, Li Fang had the idea of wanting to learn swordsmanship. Thinking that Naki, who is an ordinary person in the original work, can kill a demon alone, I feel that I can't be worse than that "garbage"!
So he asked for advice like Annabelle, and began to learn swordsmanship step by step under Anna's guidance. It's a pity that Li Fang only gritted his teeth and persisted in this matter for less than two months, and began to slack off for various reasons.
After all, this world can be regarded as a happy ending in the end. Li Fang thought that even if he didn't do anything, the ending should be good end. And now that I am well fed and warmly clothed, there is no danger to my life, as long as I gradually mix and produce equipment, I will always shine in the future...... Although he also felt that he was very useless like this, Li Fang really thought in his heart that as a human being, the strength he could improve was too insignificant......
Although he was not as active as he was at the beginning, as soon as he moved, Li Fang still meticulously did every movement and posture well, and practiced in a cave of just the right size.
Annabelle, who was leaning relaxed by the fire, smiled, she saw Li Fang's performance in her eyes, and pointed out from time to time. She believes that if she can keep persisting like this, Li Fang should be able to have good skills for humans in a few years.
……
The firelight imprinted the figures of the two on the earth wall of the cave, jumping from time to time, and there were some dark shadows in the corners.
Sweating and stopping, she sat down beside the fire, Li Fang rubbed her sore arms, and looked at Annabelle through the firelight, her blonde hair became more and more beautiful in the firelight.
"Anna, are you okay with long hair?" Li Fang was a little embarrassed to speak.
Raising her hand to twist a strand of hair from her ears, Annabelle only understood the reason why Li Fang said this in an instant, does he think long hair is more suitable for me?
"Okay," Annabelle agreed, "wait a minute. ”
After saying that, she closed her eyes and concentrated on controlling the demonic energy to stimulate hair growth.
For the big swords, although their metabolism is usually very slow, as long as they are stimulated with demonic energy, just like recovering from a wound, their hair can grow quickly.
In Li Fang's stunned expression, Annabelle's supple blonde hair slowly extended at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly covering her neck and touching her shoulders......
Covering most of her shoulder blades, Anna opened her silver eyes.
"Are you satisfied with this length?" Looking at Li Fang with a surprised look on her face, Annabelle opened her five fingers and combed the newly grown blonde hair.
"Although it's better to use as little demonic energy as possible nowadays, it's still okay to make the amount of hair grow."
A few strands of fine and thick hair slipped from Anna's fingers, and the long blonde hair reflected a beautiful sheen that made it impossible to take your eyes off.
"It's been a long time since I had long hair, and it feels pretty good." Anna sighed.
"It's really ......" Li Fang grinned, scratched his head and said: "It's better looking than I imagined, I wanted to say it for a long time, sure enough, Anna, you are still suitable for long hair." ”
"I used to worry that long hair would affect the battle, so I kept my hair short." Annabelle explained: "It is also thanks to your special ability that I have the leisure to return to long hair. ”
"Hey, it doesn't exist." Li Fang smiled brightly.
Suddenly a cold wind blew from the cave, and someone ran in.
"Looks like something interesting is going on," the snow-covered man in black saw Annabelle, who was covered in snow at the door, and saw Annabelle, with long hair and a shawl, "It's been a long time since I've seen you like this." ”
"It's not easy to be an agent when you have to come out to do things on a snowy day." Kimir shook off the snow on his body in the cave ** and walked in.
Li Fang gave Kimir a seat out. After getting along in the past few months, Li Fang also knew that this agent was not very cold, and he was not completely unable to get along. But the two are still very different.
"Why did you come so early this time?" Annabelle asked.
"Hehe, it's just an occasional situation, and there is a nearby town called Wally that happens to be commissioned. Thinking that it was not far from you, I caught up with you. ”
"If you don't mind, let me rest here for the night, after all, I'm not too young to afford a night in the snow."
Looking at this badly burned and disfigured face, who knows how old you are? Li Fang complained in his heart, but did not object.
Annabelle also did not speak, and also seemed to acquiesce to Kimir's request.
It was already late at night, and Li Fang, who felt a little tired, soon fell asleep, and Kimir was always at peace, except for Anna who added a little firewood to the fire from time to time.
The night was uneventful, and outside the small cave, snowflakes kept falling.
