At the same time, a small banquet was taking place in the "Da Vinci Domain" to the east of Everta.

The territory belonged to Ivota and was owned by Baron Panini, who was toasting the two lords of the "next door" territory in front of him with his glass - "Cheers to the silver mines of Fuser!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Baron Panini is now Chinese New Year's Eve six, and he can be regarded as the youngest of this group of nobles. He was slightly bald, and his belly was swollen because of the "nourishment" of wine and meat all year round, and he looked more like a rich man than a hereditary nobleman. Sitting across from him were the two high lords of the diocese of Bogdor, Viscount Anru and Count Boraci, who were the protagonists of today's banquet, and sat beside them as if the rest of the minor nobles were holding the moon in the stars, constantly echoing their decisions.

"It's such a small piece, and it can be sold for more than 400 gold coins at any auction house... Gee. ”

Viscount Anru held a piece of silver ore in his hand, because it had not yet been smelted, and there was a layer of oxidized black spots and many impurities on the surface of the ore, but anyone could see that this stone was extraordinary: it was extremely light, and it was obviously a large fist, but it was about the same weight as a metal ring in his hand.

This is the "rare silver" produced by the "Fuser Silver Mine". It is the metal with the highest "magic efficiency" on the continent, and it can even be said that ... Any set of magical armor with silver parts qualifies as a family heirloom.

And now, those inestimable value of the Fuser silver mine are the target of their competition.

"I used to think of the Kot Mountains as a burden, but I didn't think it turned out to be a great treasure trove! The team sent out just reported today - in addition to the three 'silver pits' that had been discovered earlier, a new pit and sixteen associated ordinary silver mines had been discovered in the past few days..."

Baron Panini's face was flushed with drink, he picked up the wine glass that was refilled, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Viscount Anru and Count Borach, if you hadn't supported me, this mine would have been robbed by that little lady a long time ago, where else can I be left with anything?"

"Heh... With such a large mine, half of the area is not in Ivotah, why should she have the final say?" Viscount Anru sipped his red wine with a smile and a look of contempt.

Count Boraci touched his goatee, but asked, "Baron Panini, which of the best pits can be confirmed by the end of March?"

"Lord Earl, this kind of thing can be known as long as you dig it, and what can expose the surface of the vein must be an unprecedented bonanza, which can be put in ten thousand hearts!"

"That's good, that's good. ”

Count Boraci was a timid and greedy man, he drank the wine in his cup, and sighed: "This time I will not do anything, although that little lady is not very old, but after all, it is a duke, and it is better for us to be fully prepared." ”

"Why should we lords unite to be afraid of her little? just because of those two outdated knights? or her newfound little white face? What is it called—oh, Roddy, hehe... It's really a hillbilly name, and I heard that he was a border scout. Sold to the duke's bed, tsk, this story is also a 'legendary epic' if it is taken to the bard's words. ”

"Hahahaha..."

The aristocrats next to him laughed, the rumors about Sally's private life during this time were simply unsightly, although anyone could see that this was a smear with ulterior motives, but in this era of lack of entertainment, discussing other people's "gossip" should be regarded as a pastime that everyone enjoys.

However, Viscount Anru's face was not good-looking, he laughed a few times, his expression was very reluctant - the team that went to attack Luo Di was completely wiped out, and his more than ten private soldiers were all killed, and he was not sure whether Luo Di knew that he had done these things.

But more than two months have passed, and the other party hasn't said anything, so he probably forgot about himself, right? Hmph, if this guy comes, he must have to find a way to take him...

Viscount Anru was ruthless, he firmly believed that 'if you fight a snake, you will not die, but suffer from it', so he was a little distracted when he thought about it, but Baron Panini's voice suddenly pulled him back to reality:

"We hope to see Viscount Anru's heroic appearance on this safari, I heard that your hunting skills are superb, and you will save us some face when the time comes!"

"Huh... It's all boasting, it's not counting," An Ru's expression finally recovered, and she asked with a smile: "But where did you choose the hunting area this time?

"Of course not," Baron Panini was the organizer of this spring safari, because the hunting area was on his own land, so he was particularly excited about such a topic, and his voice unconsciously became louder: "This 'safari conference' is not only attended by the nobles of our western territory, but also by many nobles from the royal city..."

"Really?!"

"What?"

The appropriate pause attracted just the right amount of exclamation, the nobles of the kingdom are actually very happy to have a chance to meet each other, which is more convenient for the children's future marriage, or the whole family "hugging the thigh" or being "hugged by the thigh" and so on. And the kingdom is generally "poor in the west and rich in the east", so this means that this time it may be a group of richer lords.

“... Because of the large number of participants, this hunting area was directly selected in the Da Vinci Forest - this is not the previous game of shooting rabbits and wild boars, although it will encircle an area, but it will never expel any monsters or beasts, so whether you can hit the prey or not, it is completely up to your ability..."

"The area must be huge, right? Baron Panini, do you have enough men?"

Panini was waiting for this, he smiled slightly, and said loudly: "The Count of Mirno of Bergen is also interested in this safari, so he is willing to cooperate with me and arrange all this together—and his only son, Viscount Senna, will also appear here!"

This news immediately detonated the scene, and the atmosphere of the banquet was pushed to a climax at once: the participation of a "golden turtle son-in-law" was enough for these nobles to think about how to behave.

While the nobles of Evta cheered, Roddy looked at Nata in confusion, not knowing what to say for a while.

While Roddy is busy with all sorts of things these days, Nata's life is very simple: practice archery, practice archery and practice archery, and she does only one thing a day from beginning to end, so much so that she almost becomes an archery machine.

Roddy has the reputation of "mentor", of course, she doesn't want her to take any detours, so he gives her some guidance every few days, which is not only the skills of archery, but also how to find a suitable shooting position on the battlefield, how to hide herself in various terrains, etc...

Later, in order to combine Nata's theory with practice, Roddy arranged a series of missions to hunt monsters in the forest outside the city - and today, when Nata successfully returned with the magic crystal, Roddy found that there was an extra line of information on her title:

"Ranger Level 1"

This is something that Roddy never thought of, but it really happened in front of his eyes: his former mentor is now stepping into the ranks of "rangers" because of his teaching!

"What's wrong?"

Nata was stared at by Roddy for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Uh? No, no. You've practiced a lot enough, take a break these days, adjust your body, and the day after tomorrow... Ready to go. ”

Luo Di is still immersed in an inexplicable emotion, saying that satisfaction is not like satisfaction, and that he is not excited, but he feels that history is "upside down" and feels strange.

"That's... Teacher. ”

"Huh?"

"I—I want to learn your way of archery... Is that okay?"

Nata stammered a little, and the request she made also surprised Roddy - her original shooting method was different from the "Mediterranean style" and "Mongolian style", which was unique to the wood elves, and the advantages and disadvantages were balanced, in fact, this was the most suitable shooting method for the "survival system" ranger, and Roddy was sometimes a little envious.

So he shook his head: "My archery method is only suitable for close-range combat, mainly to cooperate with spells, you are actually just right, the foundation is much more reliable than I was back then, and if you continue to fight steadily in the future, you will be stronger than me sooner or later." ”

Roddy is not exaggerating, Nata's talent is not particularly outstanding, but in terms of the level of effort of most people, many things are simply not as talented as - and sometimes five times ten times the effort, can really change from quantity to quality.

I never crossed the barrier of level 59 at the beginning, and what about Nata?

Looking at the somewhat dazed wood elf in front of him, Luo Di vaguely understood her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't think about being next, you have to think about being the first yourself, remember this sentence, don't get lost in the future." ”

"Okay, okay. ”

Nata rarely expresses her emotions - in fact, when she returns today, she feels like she's broken through some kind of barrier. For the elves who walked out of the Silent Forest, she was indescribably grateful at this moment, because in Elsa Village, all the wood elves who were able to "break through" eventually became the most powerful hunters and "guardians" in the village.

In other words, she is now qualified to be on an equal footing with Brudy.

It's all because of his teachings, so at this time Nata wanted to say "thank you" to Roddy, but after opening her mouth several times, she couldn't say anything...

Maybe because his shadow has taken deep root in his heart, he is afraid that words like "thank you" will widen the distance between the two.

Then keep following him...

Looking at the back of Roddy leaving, Nata thought.
