Chapter 7: Bonfires

The crunch of the blazing bonfire echoed in the silent night sky.

Mercenaries and adventurers slept around the fire, the heat of the flames could not drive away the cold dew, and their hair, eyebrows, beards, armor and weapons were covered with crystal dew.

For mercenaries and adventurers, this kind of sleeping is a common thing, and it is also a necessary survival ability to fall asleep quickly and wake up immediately when the wind is blowing.

Mu Kai had not yet developed this ability, and sat in a daze by a fire farther away from the city wall, next to him, Walter was carefully wiping the new dagger he had just arrived in his hand by the light of the fire.

The dark blue Sword Breaker was the best dagger he could use before he changed classes, with a sharp blade and a row of serrated teeth like shark teeth on the back, making it extremely lethal.

Walter had saved up a long time to get enough gold to take it down, and if it weren't for the huge commission for this mission, and if it weren't for the fact that the lord had just rewarded him with some gold coins, he estimated that he would have to wait two or three months longer.

"You're such a monster!"

Walter put the Swordcrusher in his holster, looked at Mukai and said seriously, "Really, Kai. I've never heard of anyone who can find Qi in two days. ”

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated." Mu Kai waved his hand and said, "I have practiced military swordsmanship for a period of time before, and I have laid a little foundation. ”

"Military swordsmanship, I know, it is a sword skill that focuses on fighting, and the efficiency is too low for stimulating fighting qi, even if you practice hard for three or five years, only a few lucky guys can find the sense of qi, and the improvement speed is extremely slow."

As he spoke, Walter couldn't help but pull out the dagger, letting the sharp blade swirl between his fingers like a juggler.

"The cultivation method that Crawn taught you comes from the Sydri Warrior Training Institute, and it is the most complete cultivation technique that has been handed down to this day, and it took that guy more than forty days to reach this point, which is enough for him to show off in front of us! But you。。。。。。 ”

Walter didn't know how to describe Mukai, sighed, lowered his head and fiddled with his dagger.

Finding the sense of qi is a prerequisite for cultivating Dou Qi, and the reason why this step can be completed quickly is related to Mu Kai's extraordinary spiritual power.

Although the original owner of this body, Kelmorn, has a wooden personality, his mental power is far stronger than that of ordinary people, and he can shoot an arrow when his spirit is highly concentrated, which is the embodiment of his strong spiritual power.

Mu Kai's soul came through time and space, and it seemed that he had also been tempered in some way, becoming extremely tough, and after fusing the will of the young man, his spiritual strength had long surpassed the scope of ordinary people, and it was very intuitively expressed.

His memory has improved significantly, his mind has become more agile, his sense of things has become extremely acute, and within a radius of ten meters, he can perceive everything around him even without his eyes, and although the world he perceives has no color, it is more nuanced than what he sees with his eyes.

Because of this, he was able to sense the faint fluctuations of fighting qi in his body, and he could find that glimmer of life in the sword light and sword shadow on the battlefield.

"How did Cloune get into the Sydri Warrior Training Institute? I heard that the ticket to Talking Island is not cheap, and the tuition fee is even more expensive. ”

Mu Kai has always been paying attention to the place that specializes in cultivating adventurers, as well as the Anhebent School of Magic, if he has the opportunity, he also wants to go and see, since he has extraordinary spiritual power, maybe there is still the possibility of becoming a magician.

"That guy!"

Walter leaned on his backpack, chose a more comfortable position, and said leisurely: "He doesn't usually talk about the past, and occasionally he will confide in some when he is drunk." That guy used to be a young master from a rich family, and his father was the owner of the ship in Qiyan Harbor, and he was a really powerful businessman. Unfortunately, he was later ransacked by pirates, not only were the ships and goods robbed, but his father was also killed by pirates. I don't know how much that shipload was worth, but anyway, the debt collectors came to the door every day to force the debt, and his mother sold all the family property to barely pay it back. ”

Turning his head to look at Croun, who was sleeping soundly by the fire, Walter sighed and said, "Their mother and son are having a miserable life, and this guy has cried a few times when he is drunk." In order to eat him, he went to the dock to work as a coolie, heh! How much strength can a child have in exchange for money? His mother worked as a waitress in a tavern, you know, and that was where Mrs. Kuo usually worked part-time to make money, and Mrs. Kuo fell into that kind of situation。。。。。。 One day, his mother suddenly handed him a small bag of gold coins, and at night he killed himself by cutting his wrists, and the guy sat on the dock all night, sneaked into a ship bound for Talking Island, hid in the cabin for a whole week, and thus arrived at Talking Island. As for the tuition, it seems that he met a father's business partner at the dock on the island of Talk, and saw that he had pitifully supported some gold coins. ”

Clouen usually looks like a sunny boy with a big grin, but he didn't expect to have such a tragic experience, and Mu Kai also shook his head and sighed.

Walter continued: "And Barkley, the hapless fellow was born into Dean's peasant family, the poor of the poor, his grandfather starved to death, his mother died of illness, his father was beaten to death by the lord because he had no money to pay taxes, and he was left to run out alone, somehow got into the business, and now even he is dead, and their family has nothing left. ”

There was really nothing left, and Mu Kai was surprised to find that he even had a vague impression of him, only that he seemed to speak very little and never attract attention.

"Alas! This is the sorrow of the weak. ”

Kaizhe, who was sitting and meditating, opened his eyes at some point, and his deep voice revealed a sense of vicissitudes that only middle-aged people have.

Mu Kai looked at the vast night sky and said with emotion: "So you can't be a weakling!" Natural selection, survival of the fittest, it turns out that this principle is the same no matter where it is! ”

"Kai, you're really not the illegitimate son of a nobleman?" Kaizhe asked suddenly.

"I've said it several times, all I know is from a hermit! Not some bastard! ”

"Alright! All right! It's all because of the hermit. It's a shame that you've mastered enough knowledge in two months to put many mages to shame! ”

"It's just some history, how can you compare to a knowledgeable magician?"

"Hey! Don't talk about that. Kai, are you sure the enemy will come at night? Kaizhe asked in a low voice.

"Sure." Mu Kai nodded.

"I really can't get the final payment?" Walter brushed away the lock of hair that hung in front of his eyes and looked at Mu Kai with a look of unwillingness on his face.

After all, that's a lot of money, not to mention a small mercenary group like Warfire, even Black Lion and Iron Rose can't usually receive such a lucrative task.

He had asked this question many times, but Mu Kai didn't bother to pay attention to him, but Kai Zhe patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Young man, don't think about money now! Don't just focus on fighting hard, find opportunities to break through, and staying alive is the most important thing. ”

As he spoke, Kai Zhe moved his somewhat numb waist and legs, and suddenly frowned.

"Huh? Someone's coming! ”
