Obviously, Gross had also heard the commotion and movement in the city—

He didn't know that Princess Samantha had arrived in Karthas this evening, or that the group of bounty hunters of Pablo's Blood Spike had been assassinated.

In the previous episode, he had recognized from the skills and skills of the "Joker" that it was a member of the "Pablo Blood Thorn", but after thinking about it for a while, he didn't continue to think too much-

His mind returned to the mission "Ignati Woods, the Sorrowful Merchant" itself, and the thought of the quest reward that was about to arrive quickly turned into a pretty good mood.

Passing through the last alleyway, was the neighborhood where the merchant Ignati Woods lived, and he could even see the tall red maple at the intersection in the bright moonlight.

Walking down the alley, two drunks stumbled - one with an impressively slender horse face, the other with a round ball of meat.

"Yo, Sartre, see what I've found?"

The "slender horse face" leaned against the wall, his body kept swaying, and said to the "meat ball" next to him.

"W-What? Is it delicious food? ”

The "meat ball" who had drunk too much ale replied vaguely with his big tongue.

"Hell, you pig knows how to eat, haven't you had enough of the mashed potatoes from the 'Traveler's House'?"

"Slender Horse Face" couldn't help but scold angrily, he slapped and slapped "Meat Ball" on the shoulder, "Don't you see a beautiful young lady next to you?" Tsk, this figure looks like this, it's much stronger than the lowly warblers in the "Traveler's House". ”

"Hmm, where?"

In the middle of the alley, the two drunks stood in the middle of the alley, and their bloodshot eyes kept looking at the girl Eve, while Gross, who was disguised as a bearded merchant, was completely ignored by them.

The "lanky horseface" staggered towards them, and he also stretched out an arm to try to grab Eve's coat.

His arm was swept away by Gross without hesitation, and the huge difference in strength even made him can't help but retreat and fall to the ground.

"Ahh

The "slender horse face" fell to the ground and immediately shouted angrily.

However, Gross didn't pay much attention, he took Eve by the hand, and took a step, as if he didn't care at all, and passed by him directly—

In the kingdom of Elant, or in other words, in all the human realms of the world of Illuson, these minions can often be seen in the corners of various towns.

In fact, this is also one of the background cultures of "Discord".

However, these thugs are only capable of causing some trouble to ordinary, powerless civilians, and their presence is like flies buzzing on a garbage heap to the player-

Repulsive, yet unthreatening.

The two green dots, judging by their appearance and demeanor, are just some weak scum who don't even have a job.

According to the memories in the game, almost all the players who came to the city have completed their employment, and compared to these little gangsters, the difference in strength is quite huge -

Even the most fleshy newcomer can comfortably use a set of authentic Wang Ba punches to smash these gangsters.

So much so that for a while, there were countless heroes among the players. It's a pity, unless the plot of some mission requires it, nothing comes from knocking over these thugs, not even a little experience and half of Thor-

On the official forums, there is a popular saying that the existence of these gangsters is specially designed by game companies for players to vent their emotions.

The "slender horse-faced" saw the girl and the "bearded merchant" in front of him as if he was ignoring him, and he began to curse in his mouth, and was about to stand up with his body propped up—

Gross's boot landed on his cheek, leaving a trail of dusty footprints.

"This guy is just too much."

When the boots stepped on his face, the "slender horseface" could not move at all, and it was only after the "bearded merchant" and the maiden had disappeared from the alley that he got up.

"They dare to treat the members of the Brotherhood of Dragons like this, and I must make them look good. Well, Sartre, what are you doing? ”

The "meat ball" on the side leaned against the corner of the wall, and a heavy snoring sounded from time to time, and it was already asleep.

"Damn, it's such a cold weather, sleeping here is going to freeze. Sartre, this kid has more than 300 pounds of fat, do you want me to carry it back alone? ”

……

Gray-white house with curved domes.

Gross and Eve stood in front of the door outside the courtyard wall.

"Dad, I'm back."

Eve banged on the door and shouted. Almost as soon as he spoke, the beige curtain was instantly opened, revealing the face of a middle-aged man-

Merchant Ignati Woods was standing in front of the windowsill.

He froze.

Immediately afterward, he quickly pulled his legs and rushed from the room on the third floor all the way to the courtyard, and the frequency of his footsteps was not at all like that of a man of his age.

The gate to the courtyard opened.

The merchant looked at his daughter Eve, his haggard face stunned, and soon two lines of warm tears flowed silently from his sunken eye sockets, and he stretched out his arms to embrace Eve—

In an instant, tears flowed down his face.

Gross turned, he could understand the merchant's mood at this point. Walking a few steps into the courtyard, he pretended to admire a long-withered violet in the flower garden—

It's no different from ordinary weeds.

"Eve, you're back......"

"Yes, Dad."

"Are you okay...... I...... I mean, the Dragoneye Brotherhood, those guys, they didn't do anything to you, did they? ”

The merchant's voice was chopped and choked.

"No, no."

Eve began to cry as well, and the father and daughter stretched out their fingers and gently wiped each other's tears.

There was a soft "ding" sound.

Gross opened the system in his head, and in the quest column, the font "Ignati Woods, the Sad Merchant" had changed color, followed by a parenthesis that read "Completed".

Mission Completion: 90%.

Your chivalrous deeds have helped the merchant Ignati Woods, and after seeing his daughter Eve again, the grief-stricken merchant shows great gratitude to you, rewarding you with 3,000 experience points and 1 "Holy Enchanted Scroll".

The experience points were immediately credited, and Gross's combat level had been raised to LV20, officially stepping into the inauguration level.

A line of bright green text prompts appeared in his unique field of vision:

[Warrior: Steel Heart] Genre Skill unlocked.

[Indestructible] (LV1): Courage allows you to be unafraid of damage, for 2.0 seconds, 90% physical damage waiver, base cooldown of 10 minutes.

In the early game of "Discord", the [indestructible] of the Steelheart Flow Warrior can be called an IMBA little invincible-

Compared to the genuine injury-free skill [Holy Protection] that can only be mastered at LV50 for the clerical profession, it requires only a measly LV20 combat level.
