"Smack. ”

A new piece of wood was added to the fire, causing the flame to turn over.

The Silver Sword Team and Mann were sitting by the fire eating simple food, but they still didn't eat it at first, after all, she couldn't taste the food, and it would be troublesome to eat the excess and digest it with evil.

She sat on a dead tree trunk by the side of the road, and listened to John the Dwarf sip and brag about their past adventures, which probably every adventurer would have liked. On a road that is boring most of the time, there's nothing wrong with having a few more interesting stories.

"But speaking of which, boy Mann, why do you keep seeing merchants going to Jeffries lately?"

John wiped the wine from his beard and said drunkenly.

After everyone became acquainted, the names between them became arbitrary, and the dwarf John was nearly fifty years old, and it was not an exaggeration to call Mann a brat.

Speaking of Jeffries, before Mann, they had seen several groups of merchants in Lovelov hire adventurers to go to Jeffries, knowing that in the past, small merchants except for large caravans rarely went to that city.

Because the prices in that city are so high, if you stay there for a few days, you can lose all the money you earn.

"Hmm. Mann pursed his lips and took a bite of the dry food in his hand: "Jeffries has a man who buys magic crystals in unlimited quantities, and I can only say so much, you know, the rules of the Merchant Guild." ”

The rule of the Merchants' Association is that you should never talk too much about traders' information.

"Okay. Half-drunk, John the dwarf burped and said, "It's not good to get caught up in the stinking rules of the association at a young age. ”

"Don't listen to him. Jill the lizardman in the corner said coldly, "Rules are very important. ”

For cautious thieves like them, rules are a guarantee.

He and John the Dwarf are two different kind of people, so their relationship is generally not very harmonious, but in a way there is a delicate balance.

"All in all. John the Dwarf grinned and patted his chest.

"I'd like to see something exciting happen along the way, and then a great adventure that is what adventurers do. ”

"Well, I think it's better to be more stable. Lily, who was sitting on the other side, held her magic book in her hand and timidly expressed her opinion.

"What are you afraid of, whether it's a dragon or a demon, my Uncle John can easily solve it, and then I'll let you see the new tactics I have researched. ”

As he spoke, John the Dwarf staggered to his feet, punched twice out of thin air, and then one of them failed to stand and fell to the ground.

"Poof. Mage Lily smiled.

The lizardman Jill also curled the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at Mann and lowered his head.

"If there is a real situation, I will take care of it. ”

It wasn't as unreliable as the drunkard who fell next to it.

"Well, I'm also very strong, little brother. Mage Lily smiled lightly and patted Mann's head gently.

The feeling of being treated like a child made Mann a little depressed, but he couldn't say anything about it, who made him the youngest here.

"Speaking of which, though. Mann looked at John, the dwarf who had fallen to the ground, and said in a bit of a daze, "I also want to learn a little bit of adventurer's skills." ”

He remembered what had happened in Hiskama before, and if he had been able to fight, he might have been able to help somewhat.

And as a boy, he also had some dreams of swords and magic.

Hearing Mann say this, Lily held up the magic book in her hand.

"If it's magic, I can teach you some. ”

"If it's swordsmanship, both I and our captain Lorna have some experience. Jill the lizardman pointed to the short knife hanging from his waist.

These skills are not a secret on the mainland, everyone can learn them, but there will be high and low achievements, so they have nothing to be stingy.

But when it comes to Lona, where did Lona go?

Jill looked around, only to realize that Lorna had no idea when she had been sitting next to Hatsu.

······

"At the beginning, don't you really need to eat something, even if you practice, you should take a break sometimes. ”

Lorna's voice came from ear.

"No, I don't. Moving her body at first, Lorna sat a little closer, almost next to hers, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Lorna would often come to talk to her since that day, which made her regret that she hadn't said something she shouldn't have said.

Seeing that Chu didn't go away, Lorna's heart was happy, and her cheeks were slightly red and she continued: "That's it, that's okay. By the way, where are you from, my hometown is in Helmut, a small coastal town in the east, and the people in the town are nice, and you can go fishing in a boat when you have nothing to do. ”

She said her hometown, with a light in her eyes, probably reminiscing about those good times.

But Chu could only say helplessly.

"My hometown, there's nothing. ”

She didn't lie, because there was no need to hide it, she didn't say a definite location anyway.

Lorna, who seemed to notice that she had asked the wrong question, touched her pale blonde hair, smiled and asked instead.

"What about the family, my father was a swordsmanship instructor, and I learned my swordsmanship from him. I still remember when I was a child, he always trained me very strictly, and every day of practice was very hard. But every day he would carry me home on his back and I remember we would walk across a stone bridge by the sea, and the sea breeze on the bridge was always very strong······"

At first she silently listened to Lorna tell her story, sometimes with a faint smile.

But Lorna also gradually discovers that Hatsu is indeed different from everyone she has known before.

She felt a kind of silence in Chu's body, and she also felt a kind of alienation, which was not indifferently rejecting people from thousands of miles away, but gently keeping a distance from everyone.

This feeling made her want to understand the reason, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Jill the lizardman who was sitting not far away was relieved to see that Lorna didn't do anything out of the ordinary with Hatsu, but just as he wanted to look away, he suddenly saw a badge on Hatsu's chest.

A silver-white wolf head badge.

Jill's gaze stopped because of the badge, and it knew it, this badge came from a family that was respected by everyone on the continent, a family that stood in the far west.
