Gross still smiled, he didn't think he should have taken the liberty of scaring the old man.

"Daddy, Mr. Gross, breakfast is ready."

It was at this time that Stewart's daughter, Rhona, arrived with brisk steps, and after dealing with Spike the Lich, her face returned to her typical little girl's flush after one night, like a ripe apple in autumn.

The black aura that had appeared on her face was gone.

The twelve-year-old girl came to Stewart's side and was shaking his arm mischievously—Stewart looked at his daughter lovingly, without any resistance, and the other hand fell lightly on the little girl's shoulder.

"Dad, Mommy cooked fragrant porridge."

Rhona's voice was very sweet, and after the infected epidemic disappeared, she opened a pair of big sparkling eyes, showing the vitality that should be at this age-

Seeing that Stewart didn't move, she quickly said, "If you don't go back, Mommy will be angry." ”

"Yes, Mr. Stewart, be obedient, or Miss Lacey will have to pull your ears again."

"Pull your ears? It's all too common. I remember when Stuart was punished by Miss Lacey for kneeling in front of the fireplace and not being allowed to go to bed a thousand times without apologizing......"

"I'm afraid of my wife, I'm ashamed!" Even a few half-grown children made a grimace and coaxed, and when they saw Rona glaring at them viciously, they put away their movements.

The atmosphere suddenly became quite lively.

Rona puffed up two little cheeks and threatened Stewart, and the villagers who had just watched the swordsmanship on the sidelines couldn't help but laugh when they heard the girl say this—

Mr. Stewart has a powerful martial arts, but in the face of his wife, he always looks like a mouse sees a cat.

Putting away his weapons, Stewart and Gross walked towards the thatched hut together, the man seemed not to be willing to be teased by the villagers, an old face smiled embarrassedly, and refuted: "There are no men who are afraid of their wives, only men who love their wives." ”

Boos erupted.

Is this kind of thing really regardless of age?

Gross muttered to himself, and walked up the interior of the room, blinking and looking, but not seeing the figure he was familiar with.

"Where's Ladia?"

"Sister Klein was still sleeping just now, maybe she's up now."

Rona 1510 said.

Gross was stunned, and he found that his beloved Miss Lady Lady Radia also seemed to have a lot of problems, such as being lazy to sleep.

There were no pocket watches or table clocks in Stewart's home, but looking at the growing sunlight outside, it was at least after seven o'clock in the morning - he and Stewart had begun their martial arts practice two hours earlier, and not long ago, the wild mage Choko and the dwarven warrior Tob had also taken their leave.

So many things have happened, and that Miss Mage is still asleep all the time?

"Gross, Stewart, and Rhona, sit down. The porridge is already ready. ”

As the three of them entered the house, Stewart's wife, Lessy, came out of the kitchen, rubbed her hands together on the ashes, and said with a smile, but seeing that there were only three figures, she quickly asked:

"What about Jocco, Miss Crane, and Mr. Dwarf?"

"Jocó and Mr. Tob have left."

Gross replied casually.

"Miss Klein......"

Gross's answer omitted Miss Mage's name, and Lacey seemed to think of something, and she was about to turn away with her pale brown linen maxi skirt, but looked at Gross again.

"I'm going to get her up."

Gross looked calm.

Stewart's home was a number of thatched huts connected together, and Gross had already heard some noticeable noises as he took a few steps.

"Phew, shhhh

On the thatched bed, the girl's petite body was like a curled cat, she was tightly wrapped in a blanket, her long eyelashes were motionless, her eyes were closed, and her nostrils and mouth were slightly open and closed under her white pointed nose—

A stream of crystal clear saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he slept soundly.

Gross didn't say a word, just stood on the edge of the bed, watching quietly. He was so tall that he suddenly blocked out the sunlight from the window, and the light in the room dimmed suddenly.

"Phew, shhhh

The soft purr remains.

The thatch on the bed, Gross couldn't help but have a narrow idea—he pulled out a straw, bent down to the side of the bed, and poked the ear of straw in front of the girl's nostrils.

The little nose shrugged, and the snoring stopped.

Gross stabbed again.

"Ahh

The girl finally woke up, saliva and snot squirting instantly, and Gross felt some coolness on her cheeks.

"Well, Mr. Gross, I'm really, really sorry......"

The girl lowered her voice, and her beautiful lake-blue eyes turned around as she looked at Gross and quickly moved away.

Gross was expressionless, and when he turned around, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he reached out and touched it, and found it wet.

……

After about ten minutes, Gross and Miss Mage Lady's Lady, Lady, walked out of the room at the back of the house. The girl opened her sleepy eyes, and when she saw Rhona, she couldn't help but smile on her face, and she put her arms around the little girl, who was a little shorter than her, and rubbed her light brown hair.

"It's breakfast, Miss Crane."

Ladyy, the hostess, greeted warmly, and Stewart, who was sitting in a chair on one side, looked at Gross and Radia and suddenly smiled.

But he didn't say much.

The steaming wheat porridge is served, and some minced meat is added to the sticky wheat kernels, which has a fragrant aroma. A few people quickly feasted.

Gross was in a very good mood.

It was this early morning that he learned a special sword technique [Refraction] from Stewart.

After enjoying the wheat porridge in the clay bowl, he opened the system silently, and he saw a line of text. [Refraction] LV1: Deflects 10% melee physical attack.

A passive that is extremely useful for Steelflow warriors.

In the quest column, "Shadows in the Sun", the status of this quest is still "(Unopened) (Completed)", which means that learning [Refraction] is only an additional benefit.

Things have changed a lot since the missions in the previous game.

After finishing the mission, Gross was about to leave White Dove Village, but at this time, he suddenly had a bold idea.

"Stewart, I'm going to form a new mercenary group, would you like to join?"

Gross knew that this man had a straightforward temperament, so he chose to invite straight to the point - the formation of a mercenary group was already in his future plans, and since the turmoil in the Ampton mines, he suddenly realized that it was time for the bandits to give up.

He looked at the man's dark-skinned face, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
