Chapter 1068: Exploring the Dark Night (21)
"Prepare meow?" "Hal hadn't forgotten their original goal, which was to collect materials for enchanting weapons.
He unfolded his inventory and took out the list and glanced at it, "So, let's get to Mom...... Although the materials on the list have not been fully collected, we have made a lot of money fighting monsters, and the lack of materials should be made up for with money. "Yes, we have to sell the useless scrap for money. Husky nodded: "You go to the witch first to discuss and see how much it will cost to make up the remaining enchantment materials." Husky went to the merchant to sell things. The leopard-man boy Hal nodded to the canine boy Husky, and walked towards the witch's house with Evil Star and Calvin.
Husky walked over to the merchant's old woman's house, intending to sell the remnants of the weapons from the Chapterman's arsenal that he had looted yesterday, as well as the crystals from the power furnace. He wasn't expecting much money from those chapters' remnant weapons, but the golden power crystal was estimated to be worth a lot of money, and it would definitely make him a lot of money.
The canine boy had just walked up to the merchant's old woman, opened the merchant's inventory, and was about to start trading, when a voice rang out behind him: "Oh, child, I've never seen you, are you the new knight apprentice?" Husky was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look. Behind him was a human teenager who was not much taller than Husky. The person's appearance is extremely ordinary, and at a glance you can see that he is the kind of child from a poor family, and the faint poverty between his eyebrows cannot be concealed even by the game's face pinching system.
"Wha! This kid is so cute, and he has a tail and puppy ears!" said the boy with a smile, and although his mouth was full of sarcasm, there was no malice in his tone. Despite his lack of malice, the teenager's curious series of questions annoyed Husky: "What's your name? How old are you? Why do the Knights allow you to make your character look like this? Husky didn't know which question to answer first, but was stunned for a moment: "This, this is Husky's tail...... It's because Uncle Arthur said that this had to be kept in the game to maintain the original balance... "So, you're an orc?" the boy asked again, "How strange, the Northern Knights have begun to recruit orcs as trainee knights?" and so on...... I didn't see any orcs in the computer room just now, did you? You really came from the computer room...... "Wang, who entered this game yesterday with the computer room. Husky hurriedly explained, "But we are Wang, who is connected to the remote network today. "Oh, the remote network can also be connected to the Knights' internal servers, that's amazing!" the other party made another look of surprise: "It seems that they are ready to open this system to open the public beta." Husky tilted his head and asked, puzzled, "Open beta?" "Hmm." It means opening up the network to the outside world so that more people can use the system. The young man nodded, and introduced with a thoughtful expression: "Since you have used this system, you should know very well that this system is eventually open to the whole of Europe, so that more people can learn how to fight." "I've never heard of Wang. Husky replied in a low voice. Although he could vaguely understand what was going on.
"Haha. Forget it, it's an adult business, and it's okay if a kid like you doesn't know, don't care. The man laughed haughtily—at least in Husky's eyes.
Hearing this, the canine boy immediately pouted: "You don't look much older than Husky." The young man smiled again: "Oh, hehehe, I forgot to introduce myself? I'm Daniel, twelve years old this year, a trainee knight of the Northern Heavenly Knights. Nice to meet you, little one. ""...... Husky, eight-year-old Wang. The dog boy replied helplessly, such a comparison is indeed compared to others in terms of age.
Unexpectedly, the other party immediately frowned, and looked at Husky with an extremely pitying look: "Come to be a trainee knight at the age of eight? "Well, things aren't as you think they are. Husky hurriedly argued.
"Okay, I don't need to explain, I understand. Daniel seems to have fallen into some strange misunderstanding, "Poor boy. I'm not much different from you, though, eh. Children from poor families like us can't afford to study, and no one is willing to take them in when they go to work, so being a trainee knight is the only way out. "Well, it's really not what you think it is!" Husky explained helplessly, a huge drop of sweat breaking out of his forehead.
"Don't be shy, little one. Daniel didn't listen to Husky explain at all: "The job of a trainee knight is hard and tiring, and you often get injured, and if you are unlucky, you may lose your life, and there is almost no salary except for room and board, so normal families are not willing to let their children do this kind of drudgery." Since you are a trainee knight, you must have your own difficulties, right? I won't delve too much into it. Husky couldn't talk to each other for a moment. Is it poor. It was a world he hadn't touched at all.
The dog boy has been pampered by his parents since he was a child, and he has no worries about food and clothing. Although his dad is no longer with him, his mommy still has a good job that will allow Husky to live a life that is not too poor. Husky, who lives a well-off life, always feels an inexplicable soreness in his heart after listening to Daniel's words. Therefore he could only remain silent, in order not to hurt this poor friend with whom he had only one face.
"But don't give up, little one. Daniel continued to talk to himself: "Now the standard of the Knights' selection of talents has been lowered very low, and even we poor children at the bottom have hope of promotion. Practice hard, wait until you reach level 15 in this simulation system, and then get a certain amount of actual performance in the real world, and it is not a dream to be promoted to the Black Iron Knight. When you become a full-fledged knight, your life will be secure!" "Yes, yes, Wang?" Husky said with a smile, "Husky will definitely work hard, Wang." "Now he's only level five. To reach level fifteen, it would be such a distant future thing. Someone who can upgrade himself to that level must be very powerful, right? Do you need to become so powerful to have the qualifications of a full-fledged knight for the first time? Aren't all the regular knights of Great Britain as strong as a monster?
Daniel is talking to Husky while carrying out the menu operation of buying and selling in the store. By this time, he had finished buying and selling, and waved his hand to close the store's menu.
"Alright, let's stop the small talk. I still have a cultivation task in the afternoon, so I won't accompany you, little one. The apprentice knight boy took out the teleportation scroll: "See you later." You have to work hard, too!" Husky whispered yes, watching Daniel teleport away. He had a hunch that they would meet again in the future.
"Husky, who was that guy just now, meow?" Hal seemed to have discussed with the witch and came over to find the canine boy.
"It should be a midshipman in the Knights. Husky brushed it off lightly: "What's the matter, did the witch say something?" "This-" Hal spread out a list on the ground, "Most of the materials we haven't collected yet can be bought with money." Only this one—" His finger landed at the very bottom of the list, and there was a name on it: dragon scales.
"We're going to slay the dragon?!" Husky exclaimed dissatisfied, "Wait, what kind of weapon is this, why do you have to go to the dragon slayer to complete a small enchantment?" Hal looked at Husky, feeling helpless at the canine boy's forgetfulness: "Maybe it has some special power, and it will become a super weapon after spending a lot of effort to enchant it?" The canine boy stretched his face: "Will it be Wang?" The leopard man boy smiled bitterly: "Anyway, it's just a game, it's a good thing to fight monsters to collect materials and exercise by the way." The canine boy pulled his face longer again: "Okay...... How much money are we going to pay the witch?" "Twenty thousand, we have just enough money to pay, so we'll help you pay it all." Calvin, the fish-man prince, walked over and swaggered, "So what are we going to do next?" are we going to hunt the fire dragon, or are we going to just wait for the time to pass?" "Let's go." The evil star on the side sneered proudly: "Uncle Ben also wants to see what the fire dragon in this game looks like." Let's hope it's not set up too stupidly. "But our connection is unstable now, maybe we can't control the zhì character during the battle, and then we die inexplicably...... Husky couldn't help but get worried.
"Are you afraid of this little thing?" "The daring star of the artist seems to be indifferent to the unstable connection, "If you're afraid, I'll leave the battle part completely to me, and you guys can just watch from the sidelines." You want dragon scales, you don't need to earn experience, do you?" "Hmm... Hal muttered uneasily.
"Calvin can put magic on the side to protect you," the fish-man prince replied proudly, "Even if this uncle is defeated, Calvin's newly learned spell can protect everyone from retreating, don't worry about it at all." Hal and Husky looked at each other, still uneasy, hesitant to take the risk. The death penalty in this game is terrifying, dying once means lowering one level, and leveling up is so difficult.
At that moment, a meteor-like object fell from the sky, and it slammed into a field of grass about ten feet away from the crowd, making a very frightening sound!
