Chapter 15: The First Battle
The Eastern Kingdom is not the name of a kingdom, but rather a long and narrow continent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 In addition to the homeland of dwarves and high elves, human kingdoms large and small once spread across the continent. After three great wars, it has been ravaged several times by orcs, demons, and the undead, and is now devastated. And the former ruler of the continent, the human race, is now left with only one kingdom, and it is retreating at the southern tip of the continent.
Located at the northwestern tip of the continent, the Tirisfal Glade is bordered by the sea on both sides, the Silver Pine Forest to the south, and the Plaguelands to the east, which has been completely destroyed by the undead of the Scourge. It once belonged to the mighty northern human kingdom of Lordaeron, and the royal city of the kingdom was located in the southern part of the Tirisfard Glade.
Once a human territory, the humans of Tirisfa fought valiantly in the Second and Third Wars. The Scourge of the Undead ravaged the area during the Third War, causing the destruction of life. After the battle, Sylvanas Windrunner broke free from the Lich King's shackles, freeing herself and many other undead from the Lich King's slavery. She organized these free undead into the Forsaken, and took possession of the ruins of the royal city of Lordaeron for herself, building the Darkcity, the main city of the Forsaken, underneath it.
In the evening, Loria and Aaron reached the shores of Lake Clearwater, on the edge of the Scarlet Crusaders' sphere of influence.
For Aaron, who often wanders alone in the wilderness and troubles the undead, camping in the wilderness is nothing more than a daily routine. He set up his tent with ease, gathered firewood to set up a campfire, and laid some small practical traps around the tent - enough time for him to prepare for battle in the event of a beast or the undead.
Loria watched curiously as Alun was busy with this and that, and from time to time took out some things that Loria didn't know.
It seems that everyone has a writing backpack, which is really convenient to read as space equipment. Loria sighed, and turned her attention to the scenery around her.
A large magical canopy of heaven shrouded the land of Tirisfarin, making it seem rather dim during the day and even less visible at night. There was always a mist floating in the woods and on the lake, and the undead plague spread the smell of depravity among the trees. The exterior of the plant takes on a sickly purple color, and the flowers and seeds are also covered with a yellowish-green disgusting liquid.
The strange and eerie environment around Loria scared her, and she squeezed towards Ahri, who was squatting beside her, and stuck her whole body to Ahri, who was bigger than herself, as if she could get some sense of security.
Ahri and Loria are of the same rank as pets. Although it can only attack with its teeth like an ordinary fox, it is at least much stronger than Loria, who was an ordinary girl in a peaceful country more than a month ago.
The warmth that came from Ahri's body calmed Loria a little.
Usually a little lazy, doing things for three minutes hot self can actually run to this kind of ghost place to suffer. Could it be that after leaving the hinterland of the alliance and living a peaceful life, in order to adapt to a dangerous and unfamiliar environment, there is a desire to improve one's strength? Loria thought uncertainly, but there was always an inexplicable sense of urgency that drove her forward.
"Loria, get ready, come to the tent." After setting the trap, Aaron interrupted Loria's thoughts.
“......”
"What's wrong, Loria?" Aaron asked pretending to be calm.
"Why only one tent?" Loria asked, pointing to the tent in front of her.
"It's easy to be vigilant, and setting up two tents increases the danger and makes it difficult to fight when the undead strike. Bear Devourer of the Void, the Grand Master of Wilderness Survival, has said that safety is the paramount consideration when camping in the wild, and the slightest carelessness can lead to death. Aaron said with a tense face.
Although he was a little suspicious, looking at Aaron's serious expression, an ordinary Lori, who was neither a special soldier nor had any strange experience before the crossing, still sat obediently in the tent.
Once Loria entered the tent, Aaron lit a campfire with her back to the tent entrance, smiling as she took out the cooking ingredients.
......
Sitting by the campfire, Aaron removed the roasted wolf ribs from the fire, cooled them for a while, and handed them to Loria, who was kneeling at the door of the tent.
"I never get tired of eating wolf ribs." Carnivore Loria said.
"Speaking of wolf ribs, the best wolf in the northern part of the Silver Pine Forest is the best, hmm...... The tender and juicy wolf meat, slowly roasted over charcoal fire and sprinkled with sweet spices and chili peppers, is simply a fantastic taste...... If Loria likes, we'll go around the Undercity and get some wolf meat for a barbecue, and we'll be looking for trouble with the undead. It turned out that Aaron, who was also a carnivore, suggested.
"Is it okay not to go back to the monastery for so long? And wouldn't it be dangerous to get around the Undercity? Loria, who was tempted by the food, asked with obvious interest.
"I've asked the scout I met in the afternoon to send a letter to my uncle, saying that he would take you to combat training. As for those strange scourge undead in the Undercity, don't worry, their main force is in a civil war with ordinary scourge undead, as long as they don't go deep into the Silver Pine Forest, it doesn't matter. Moreover, the beasts and undead in this vicinity are too weak, and if Loria wants to train, it is better to go to the Silver Pine Forest. Aaron, who couldn't tell the difference between the forsaken and the undead, said.
"Okay." Thinking that Aaron was an elite-level strength of level 35, Loria was relieved. ①
"It's getting dark, you have to put out the bonfire, otherwise it will attract a lot of undead." Aaron, who noticed the darkness of the day, said.
"Hmm." Even Loria knows such common sense.
"Luo ....... Loria, you ..... You go to sleep first. Aaron stammered as he tried his best to suppress his lava-like soul of sister control.
"Oh, you go to bed early, too." After Loria finished speaking, she slipped into the tent and pulled up the curtain at the door.
......
On the east bank of Cheshui Lake in the middle of the night, except for the sound of uniform breathing from Loria in the tent, it was obviously wild but there was no sound at all, and there was a dead silence all around.
Once again, Aaron, who confirmed that there would be no danger in the vicinity anytime soon, clenched his fists hard, his sister's soul was already hungry and thirsty.
With a trembling hand to open the curtain, Aaron slowly leaned his upper body into the tent, and it was pitch black.
Aaron closed his eyes and focused, trying to control only the faint light in his hands.
......
......
......
Aaron, who opened his eyes, saw ....... Loria's large white fox squatted motionless in front of her sleeping master, her large amber eyes fixed on her neck.
......
Loria, who woke up in the morning, sat up, her head empty as usual. After finding Ahri, he leaned his head against Ahri's back and rubbed it back and forth.
"Low blood sugar is really troublesome." Loria, talking to herself, emerges from the tent and sees Aaron dismantling the trap.
Aaron, who was aware of the noise behind him, turned around and said to Loria
"Loria, you're ready to go."
Looking at the exaggerated dark circles on Aaron's face, Loria thought about it and asked.
"Hey, do you need to sleep?"
"It's okay, it's just that the soul is a little tired. But after hearing Loria's concern, it's completely fine. ”
......
"Sacred Fire!"
A flame fell from the sky, and the Dark Hound burst into flames, turning to ashes in the blink of an eye.
Aaron cleared the surroundings first, leaving only a few scattered beasts for Loria to practice.
"Ahem, before you start fighting, huh...... By the way, what profession is Loria? Aaron asked.
"Me?" Loria is a little unsure, what is the belly black? The ghost animal is a magical girl, and that is a mage? Violence looks like a warrior no matter how you look at it...... Look at Ahri again, maybe he can still be considered a hunter? Loria was torn.
"I don't know......" After struggling for a long time, Loria had no choice but to say so.
After thinking about it for a while, Aaron pointed to a level 8 giant bat in the distance and said.
"Attack it with the abilities you have at your disposal."
Loria looked at the giant bat, with a wingspan of more than two meters, bulky enough to glide near the ground, with an ugly face and sharp teeth. There was no ultrasound, and the eyesight was very poor, so I didn't notice the two people in the distance at all.
Let's try magic throwing first, so thinking of Loria, she focused on her right hand and imagined what the magic would look like......
"Huh? No response? ”
Try again...... Still no response.
"That...... How do I use skills? Loria asked weakly, looking down.
Aaron was a little entangled, the sister who could be recognized by the Ashbringer must be extraordinary, which bastard taught her to be like this.
"Try pronouncing the name of the skill."
"Oh......"
Loria, who was facing the giant bat again, stretched out her right hand and whispered
"Magic Throw."
A red glow appeared near Loria's right hand and converged towards the center, forming a red ball of light the size of a lead ball after three seconds.
Well, it should be thrown out next. Thinking of this, Loria made a throwing gesture and threw the ball of light towards the giant bat.
Very good! It worked.
The speed is average.,It's like the flying speed of the small paper ball thrown by ordinary Lori when chatting in class.。
The light missed, but it caught the attention of the giant bat, which screamed and flew towards Loria.
Looking at the bats flying closer and closer, Loria panicked and began to be overwhelmed.
"Prepare for melee." Aaron reminded him and cast the Truth Word Shield (which applies a shield to the target) on Loria.
Protected by the shield, Loria finally calmed down a little, pulled out the replica Ember Bringer from her waist, and headed for the bat.
How should a knife be used....... Just cut it.
The bat finally flew in front of Loria's eyes, looked at the hideous and ugly face up close, and smelled the stench coming to her face. Even with the protection of the shield, Loria couldn't help but react normally to Lori
"Ahh
Loria, screaming, waved her weapon with both hands and jumped backwards, just like a normal loli who sees a cockroach......
"Mental explosion!" Dark energy flashed from Aaron's hands, and the giant bat smashed to the ground as if it had died suddenly, dying. ②
Aaron covered his forehead with his hand and shook his head.

(1) NPCs are divided into common, elite, and bosses. At the same level, note that it is the same! Wait! Level! Below, the elite is stronger than the ordinary, and the leader is stronger than the elite. Rare elites are even rarer than bosses, and their strength is between ordinary and elite, with special stories or abilities.
In addition, opponents who are more than 10 levels higher than themselves are basically impossible to defeat, unless it is a group fight.
(2) It is not surprising that each priest has the power of light and darkness, the difference is in the direction chosen, the holy priest is good at light and healing, the precept priest is good at assisting, and the shadow priest is proficient in the dark power and destroys evil with it.
