Chapter 7: Chance Encounters
Zhu Lin's goal is the Pan-Human Alliance, before that, he must pass through about three or four human towns, the time is about a month, conservative estimates, if Zhu Lin's feet are fast enough, he should still be able to run to the place before the rainy season comes, once the rainy season comes, the difficulty of survival in the wild will rise sharply, although as a magician he will not be afraid of a few rainstorms, but the trouble that can be avoided, of course, should be avoided as much as possible.
The first target is Kaom Town, starting from Moolo Village, through a dense forest that has not been developed very much, it will take about a week or so to reach the place, and although that dense forest has not been developed, but there are no powerful monsters in it, and it is conservatively estimated that the most powerful monsters are at most at the level of crusade level HR2, and the green-toothed python that attacked the village before is most likely from this dense forest.
Of course, now Zhu Lin's strength is absolutely impossible to be afraid of crusading against level HR2 monsters, as long as he is not surrounded by double-digit HR2 level monsters, with the bonus of equipment and talent, in a heads-up situation, Zhu Lin has absolute confidence that he can kill any kind of monster at the HR2 level.
That is because of this, so he walks very easily, no matter whether the monster can really use magic or not, at least there is magic in the body, so Zhu Lin only needs to consciously release the magic power to form something like a beacon, so that most of the monsters with keen senses know that there is a guy who can't be messed with here, so as to take the lead in making his debut.
As for those who don't feel very keen...... Zhu Lin felt that he didn't mind easily getting rid of some monsters that might threaten their safety for the nearby humans.
As a result, it turned out that the monsters that could live in the wild were more or less quite astute, and no one would run to him stupidly to hang around after feeling a magic aggregate that was obviously far superior to him in terms of quality and quantity, which also made Zhu Lin walk very easily this way in disguise, at least, he didn't see a single monster during the trip for about half a day.
Well, although he didn't "see" it directly, but through the perception of the changes in the nearby elements, Zhu Lin still noticed a few dormant breaths, but those hidden monsters did not jump out to block Zhu Lin, of course Zhu Lin will not be full and take the initiative to find their troubles, more is better than less, this is the most critical point of common sense when going out.
At noon, Zhu Lin also habitually stopped to prepare for dinner, and magicians are also human beings after all...... He was going to eat the dry food that had been prepared early in the morning, but after taking out a piece of black bread that was hard enough to be comparable to high-quality building materials, Zhu Lin tried three times in a row, but he didn't have the courage to bite down.
“…… Misguided"
Although the food put into the space coat of arms will not deteriorate, it seems that the food itself will still change with the passage of time, just like the black bread in Zhu Lin's hand, once it is placed for more than twenty-four hours, it will turn from food to a different kind of murder weapon due to dehydration and drying, of course, Zhu Lin is not interested in using his teeth to challenge the achievement of gnawing raw building materials.
In the end, he could only reluctantly throw that thing back into the space crest, this thing may not be willing to be thrown to the dog without secondary treatment, and sure enough, before arriving in Kaom Town, he can only find a way to be self-reliant.
Of course, Zhu Lin soon found the easiest solution, there happened to be something that he used to treat as chicken ribs, and it was very practical to leave it now, and as soon as his mind moved, Zhu Lin took out a treasure from the museum, which was the Goblin Medal of Honor awarded by the previous special dungeon.
The current Zhu Lin group is mostly able to summon three ordinary goblins of the crusade level HR1, with the injection of magic power, a flash of white light flashed on the medal that did not seem to be very good-made, and in the next second, three green-skinned dwarves appeared out of thin air in front of Zhu Lin.
"Well, this is an order for you......"
As the summoner, Zhu Lin has a certain degree of dominance over these three goblins, although it is certainly unrealistic to send them to death directly, but if they are just asked to do some physical work, such as finding some food and water to come back, this is not a big problem, although the goblins cannot speak human language, but they also seem to understand Zhu Lin's order, "quack" and "quack" responded twice, and then the three goblins began to execute the order separately.
Although there is no need to count on them in terms of combat, with their racial talent of moving speed and improved vision in the forest, the level of these guys looking for food is definitely above Zhu Lin, so he is naturally happy to throw this troublesome job to the summoned goblins, and then find a place in the shade by himself to sit down and rest comfortably.
Originally, Zhu Lin was going to brush up a copy to play time, but after the end, he still gave up this practice, which was obviously no different from death, and instead entered a semi-meditative state to silently recuperate.
Time, more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, which also made Zhu Lin, who was a little impatient and hungry, feel strange, generally speaking, there is no shortage of edible tree fruits and wild vegetables in the forest, just collect a little similar thing, half an hour is enough, and he also released three goblins, even if one accidentally gets into trouble, it won't be so unlucky, right?
Then in the next second, he heard a commotion in the forest not far away, several figures were moving in his direction, with the goblin medal of honor in his hand, Zhu Lin clearly determined that the party being chased should be the three goblins he summoned, as for the side that was chasing the three goblins......
In just a few minutes, three short figures sprang out of the woods in a panic, and at the same time, a figure chased after them and jumped out with a loud roar.
"Don't run...... Hand over the food and I'll let you go!" Uh......"
………………
…………
……
Zhu Lin reached out and touched his chin with interest, and looked at the young girl in front of him who was holding a short sword in her hand and trying to snatch food from her goblin.
"Excuse me, what do you want to do to my summoned beast, this young lady?"
“……”
Sapphiri felt that her life had never been so gloomy......
If nothing else, she should still be learning swordsmanship at her teacher's home, but for some special reasons, she must immediately go to a city called "Solancia" under the Pan-Human Alliance, but who expected that the teacher would not be good, she had just set off and walked less than a third of the way, and she accidentally got separated from her companions.
If that's all there is to it, then forget it, the key problem is that Sapphiri, who was separated from her companions, did not carry enough dry food with her, and as a young girl who had barely traveled far from home, Sapphiri's ability to survive in the wild was infinitely equal to zero......
So, the problem is big.
After two days of wandering around this dense forest, which should not be large, Safili finally ate all the food she was carrying, and faced with the desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food, the girl must make a choice, if she does not want to die in this forest in such a funny way as starvation, she must find food as soon as possible.
And at this time, the existence of several goblins fell into the eyes of the girl, although the common sense of survival in the wild is almost zero, but the girl can still tell from the actions of those goblins that they are collecting food.
So, a bold and ridiculous idea popped into her mind.
Although it does sound a little too miserable to say that it is too miserable to grab food or something with monsters, but after making a simple choice between her own life and that little worthless dignity, Safili decisively succumbed to her stomach pouch, so the girl who had more or less learned a little swordsmanship quietly touched the side of those goblins, trying to drive away or kill these goblins through a surprise attack, and snatch the food from their hands.
The next thing did not go very well, although theoretically, in a heads-up situation, Sapphiri is capable of winning three goblins, but unfortunately the current situation is that she has little actual combat experience at all, and it is the first time to do this kind of stealing and touching dogs, under the situation of serious lack of experience, there is no accident that the sneak attack failed to take out the grass and startle the snake, not only did not succeed in killing even one goblin, but also let them run......
By the way, these green-skinned little things actually ran away with food (Zhu Lin's order still played a role), which made Safili angry and anxious, and could only chase and kill all the way with her sword, both horizontal and vertical had already torn her face and the monster grabbed the food, and the girl didn't mind how bad her image was, anyway...... No one around here sees it, does it?
Then, when she finally succeeded in catching up with these goblins, in order to boost her morale (?) With a sprint of imposing announcements, she finally succeeded in intercepting the goblins, and then she froze.
The three goblins, whom she had taken prey, crawled behind a man who had appeared out of nowhere, and the food in their hands was also thrown by the man's side.
Then, the man in a gray robe with a hood that could not see his face clearly, reached out and touched his chin, and calmly said something that made Sapphiri's whole body messy.
"Excuse me, what do you want to do to my summoned beast, this young lady?" ……
