Clear Sky jumped down and followed Leolia's footsteps towards the entrance of the cave two steps, but still uncomfortably tugged at his black feather cloak and asked, "Shall I just follow you?" ”

"No, not only do you have to do your best to kill monsters, but you also need to be well-timed." Leoria turned her head and said seriously, "Take out your most powerful group attack magic and release it with my attack rhythm, we need a certain amount of practice to achieve the best results." So, take it easy, let's try to see if my idea holds up. ”

As they spoke, the two of them had already reached the mouth of the cave, and the two swamp monsters that looked like red jelly writhed and swooped towards the clear sky, Leoria immediately drew his steel sword, and slashed the two monsters out with a horizontal slash, and fell to the ground and rotted into a puddle of mud, but there seemed to be signs of life.

"Excellent! My normal skills control the strength is not enough to kill the level 35 swamp monster with one sword - Clear Sky! Hurry up and use your group attack skills, hurry! ”

At Leoria's prompting, Clear Sky immediately came back to his senses, silently reciting the spell of the Level 2 Magic Explosion in his heart, while jumping to the two dying swamp monsters, a purple-red circle of light expanded outward from the center of the girl's body, bursting out with brilliant light and fire, but the energy was too small to kill them at once. Taking advantage of the time when the two injured monsters were struggling to cheer themselves up, Clear Sky fired three magic explosions in a row, which failed to finish off their opponents, but instead aroused their hatred. The two monsters finally twisted their bodies and pounced on the girl again, and Clear Sky reacted quickly and jumped backwards, launching two fireballs before Leoria couldn't help but help, and finally achieved the new achievement of hunting a level 35 swamp monster in a level 22 state.

"It seems that I have to work harder later." Leoria sighed slightly, then hooked her hand at the clear sky and continued walking towards the entrance of the cave, "Come again." ”

The further you go into the cave, the more swamp monsters will be alarmed, and the second battle will attract 5 swamp monsters at once. Leoria had no choice but to use the Whirlwind Slash, but fortunately, he was always able to control his strength, but he still left a chance for Clear Sky to get the lore. This time, without Leoria's instructions, Clear Sky immediately used a magic explosion, jumping around several injured monsters, and after two consecutive spells detonated a purple-red light explosion, he successfully hunted 4 monsters, and the last one flew too far, and had to rely on the rhythmic hits of three fireballs to finally solve it.

"Yes, there is progress." Leoria nodded with satisfaction, and warned before the next battle began, "Next, we will proceed at this pace, but you must be special, special attention, don't let yourself die, I won't resurrect skills, once you die, you will have to run back to the human world from Rashomon by yourself, and wake up from the nearest cemetery here, I may not be able to find out where the nearest cemetery is, which means that the two of us have a good chance of getting lost." If that happens, I'll pick up the important letter to you before your body disappears, because in 5 minutes, it will be taken to the graveyard by you. ”

After digesting Leolia's informative warning, Clear Sky nodded cautiously.

Then, according to the rhythm of the previous two practice battles, the two began to carry out the bandit-like cave sweeping swamp monster cleanup operation. The reddish phosphorescent cave continued to show a purple aura and a more intense firelight, and the night soon became deeper and thicker, and before I knew it, another two hours had passed......

Clear Sky stumbled out of the cave and stumbled out of the cave, and as soon as she stepped into the safe area of the Innocent, she fell to the ground. Almost without stopping, she jumped and released two hours of spells in a row, she was already dizzy and her limbs were weak, but fortunately, based on such desperate crazy leveling behavior, she had successfully reached level 23, and picked up a bunch of swamp monster eyes in her backpack, and it looked like she could sell a few more silvers.

Leoria followed in her footsteps and calmly walked over to her place and sat down. He took out two green cakes from his backpack that looked like they had a circle of green fur and handed her one: "Anti-sleep mushroom cake, eat one, it will help you regain your strength and consciousness." ”

Qingtian unceremoniously took it and broke it into several pieces, but he couldn't hide it and swallowed it in a few gulps.

Instantly feeling much more normal from the state of collapse, Qingkong exhaled deeply, sat up straight, and sincerely thanked Leoria: "Thank you for the food, thank you for the guidance." ”

"Don't thank me, let's continue practicing for a while, and see if we can pull you to level 25 through this night's hard work." Leoria said as she pulled out a gold coin from her backpack and slipped it into Clear Sky's left hand.

"This is? ......" Clear Sky stared at the gold coin in her hand, so far, she had never taken so much money in this world, and her eyes became golden—this was a gold! (1000 silver equals 1 gold)

"I'm sad to see your tattered equipment, and when I get to Ranger Town, hurry up and use the money to change myself to a decent outfit." Leoria said indifferently.

"That's a piece of gold! …… It's too much, how can I accept so much money from you? Clear Sky came to his senses and immediately shoved the gold coins back into his hands.

However, the local tyrant immediately pushed this large amount of favor back: "Don't be too polite, as long as you can help me successfully deliver this letter to the hands of Tyras, the king of Apocalypse City, no matter how much money you have, it will be worth it." ”

"Why me? …… I'm only level 20, I don't understand anything, so weak. Clear Sky couldn't help but ask.

"Intuition."

With these two words, Leoria stood up, walked to the large rock that the two had climbed earlier, and jumped on it, as if he were looking at the moon alone.

Suddenly feeling a heavy responsibility, Qingtian looked at the shiny gold coin in his hand in embarrassment, and finally put it away with a hint of helplessness. Then she climbed up the large boulder where Leoria was, and saw the man lying on his back on the ground, with a longleaf in his mouth that he had found nowhere.

Qingtian walked to his side, lay down, looked at the half-moon on the starry sky, and was about to open his mouth to praise the moonlight tonight, but the man next to him took the lead in speaking: "The storm is coming." ”

"Storm? …… Didn't it just pass yesterday? Where can I tell it's going to rain again? Clear Sky carefully surveyed the night sky in the sky, trying to search for the dark clouds that he had missed.

"No, a greater storm is coming, and the storm is hidden behind the calm façade, and you have not yet seen it."

Hearing this, more and more mysteries gathered in her heart, and Qingtian finally couldn't help but start the mode of breaking the casserole and asking the end, so she turned her head to look at his side face, and asked very seriously: "Leoria, tell me your story." Since you intuitively trust me, let me know your story and let me know more about the responsibilities I carry. ”

"I'm not a good storyteller, and even if a story is good, it will become upside down and jerky when it comes to my mouth. And I don't know where to start with those bizarre experiences, and I'm afraid I'll miss too much. ”

"We don't have to organize the language, we don't have to worry too much, we're kind of companions, right?" Clear Sky maintained a serious tone, "We've traveled together, we've killed enemies together, and now we have a common goal, and that's companionship." Since we are companions, I don't have to be inhibited, and I don't have to worry about the organization of my language, I believe I can understand it, even if it is a bizarre story. ”

Leoria raised the corners of her mouth, snorted lightly, and said, "Just now you asked me why I chose to trust you, in fact, I know you, I have known you for a long time, but you don't know me." ”

"Huh?"

"The clear sky of the well-known girl idol group TNL, there are few people in the real world who don't know it, right?" Leoria looked at her with a smile, "I've heard your songs, and I've often seen your ads on the big screen in the square, so of course I know you." That day in the corridor of the hotel, I heard your companion call you Clear Sky, and I immediately reacted that it was you - after all, after entering the Brave Continent from the real world, you will retain your name in the real world, and you will match the game characters that match your personality traits are the characteristics of this game, and after seeing your image, I am even more sure of you. ”

"Are you...... My fans? Clear Sky blinked uncertainly.

Leoria smiled and turned her face away: "I'm not a star chaser, but I like your songs, they are all sincere, I think, only people with a good heart can sing such a beautiful sound - this is the source of my self-realization." ”

A little embarrassed to be praised by him, Clear Sky unconsciously turned his eyes to the starry sky, and the conversation between Sorens and Leoria last night came to mind.

[You're a ruthless person, both in and out of the game.] Leoria said so;

[We've never been friends, either in or out of the game.] And Sorens replied.

[So, did the two know each other outside of the game?] --The clear sky finally noticed, so he asked-

"Leolia, did you and Sorens know each other in the real world?"

"Yes, we're peers."

"Huh? …… Are you also a Phantom Hunter?! ”

"yes, he's Sorens who is third in the hunter rankings, and I'm Leoria who is fifth in the hunter rankings." The man replied lightly.
