Early in the morning, Zao Wou-Ki woke up.

He twisted Raphtalia's two furry ears, which felt surprisingly good.

Raphtalia didn't dare to resist and let Zao Wou-Ki play with it, her palms clenched and loosened.

"Let's go."

After breakfast, the two tidied up and went out of the city again.

At this time, the three of them were still resting in a comfortable and expensive high-end hotel.

This morning, they changed to a place where the monster level was about 10.

The battle is not more difficult than yesterday, and they are still at ease, which shows that they can fight more powerful monsters.

At noon, Zao Wou-Ki went back to the city.

"We won't be back for a while, we have to prepare for some life in the wild."

"Yes, master." No matter what Zao Wou-Ki says, Raphtalia will always be there for her.

At the busiest bazaar, Zao Wou-Ki bought a lot of things.

First of all, I bought a large carriage loaded with goods, a horse that was not fat and strong, but very docile.

Then they started to buy things, a good quality tent, a few pairs of quilts, a few sets of ordinary clothes to be worn by Zao Wou-Ki and Raphtalia, magic potions that might be used to detoxify, restore physical strength, and cure diseases, maps, food seasonings, daily necessities, all kinds of things necessary for other adventurers to survive in the wilderness, a large amount of storable food, mostly air-dried meat......

After walking around like this, a large carriage was loaded, and Zao Wou-Ki's silver coins were about to bottom out.

Raphtalia had never seen this kind of shopping cart in a big way, and she was very excited all the way, and her ears were straight and straight.

In the end, Zao Wou-Ki led the carriage, loaded the goods, and left the royal city.

Zao Wou-Ki stood at the city gate, looking at the law on the stone wall, silent.

When I come back next time, I'm going to trample the Three Braves under my feet.

As for Merlomag, there was no other option but to perish.

King, the first princess......

Zao Wou-Ki recited those deeply forgotten names in his heart.

……

"Master, do you have an enemy too?" During the hurry, Zao Wou-Ki sat in front and slowly drove the horse, and Raphtalia asked as she hid in the car, revealing a small head.

"Yes." Zao Wou-Ki said lightly.

"Who is it?" Raphtalia resounded with the frightened look in Zao Wou-Ki's eyes when he stood at the gate of the imperial capital not long ago.

"The country and the king." Zao Wou-Ki chuckled.

"Master, you, you actually laughed." Raphtalia was surprised, she didn't notice what Zao Wou-Ki said, and instead focused on other places.

She has been by Zao Wou-Ki's side for two days, but the Zao Wou-Ki she sees always has a cold face, especially when fighting, the severity can be called torture.

Every time Zao Wou-Ki talked to her, the oppressive atmosphere made her heart tremble. It turns out that the owner will laugh too.

Following the map, I found a suitable place to camp in the wilderness.

Zao Wou-Ki stopped the carriage, moved the things off the cart, and said, "Will you set up a tent?" ”

Raphtalia shook her head.

"Do you know how to cook?"

Raphtalia shook her head.

Her ears and tail were drooping, and she didn't dare to look up at Zao Wou-Ki.

Zao Wou-Ki said lightly: "I'll only do it once, you follow along, and these things will be done by you in the future." ”

"But, master, I am only a slave, not a maid." Raphtalia said weakly.

"Hmm." Zao Wou-Ki's eyes became dangerous.

Raphtalia immediately had a head in the head: "Master, leave it all to me." ”

……

Zao Wou-Ki taught by example: "First of all, set up a tent, first find a flat ground, lay out the inner tent, place the tent poles cross, and then hang the inner tent where the tent poles connect, prop it up, and cover the thick and warm outer tent on it." ”

"Remember, the most important thing is that the last thing is to tie the ropes of the tent and firmly into the earth at the four corners."

Zao Wou-Ki saw that Raphtalia was busy and helped set up the tent, and said, "If it is not tied tightly, it is blown over by the wind, or it rains, and the rain flows into the tent. ”

"I'll skin you, the lady must like the clothes made of raccoon skin."

Zao Wou-Ki This is nonsense, the materials used to make clothes are all made of animal skins, and sub-humans are not much different from humans, wearing human skin clothes? They are disgusting, and they don't have time to like it.

But Raphtalia doesn't know.

She was completely frightened and trembling.

"Master, don't, don't skin me......" she begged with tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry." Zao Wou-Ki said.

Raphtalia paused, though still sobbing. She wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, master." ”

"Then there is cooking, and the pot that is bought is there, because you have to fight every day and consume a lot of physical strength, so you only need to steam or boil meat to eat meat."

Zao Wou-Ki fished out the boiled meat from the broth and tasted it, and the taste was naturally very different from the chef's carefully prepared food.

The seasoning is only coarse salt, and if you eat too much, there is a faint bitter taste.

But Zao Wou-Ki just swallowed it in a big gulp, and his expression remained unchanged.

……

"Alright, let's start fighting."

Rut Village

This is a place where the last wave hit, and after the wave disappears, there will be residual demonic energy, and under the influence of demonic energy, some monsters will mutate, and ores and plants will also change.

Here they were.

Zao Wou-Ki absorbs a certain material and unlocks a new shield: the Rope Shield.

When it is changed to a rope shield, you can use the skill: Aura Shield.

The aura shield is to summon a shield made of energy within a range of ten meters, two meters high and one meter wide, and lasts for about 6 seconds.

They walked into the mine, where there were many mutated monsters that did not see the light of day.

It's exactly the same routine again, Zao Wou-Ki pulls hatred, and Raphtalya kills.

The experience bar is slowly rising, even faster than yesterday, after all, the monster level here is higher.

They fought non-stop inside, and because they couldn't see the sun, they didn't know the exact time.

Zao Wou-Ki estimated that it was late at night and was ready to go back to rest.

Suddenly, a massive, scarlet-eyed, irrational beast rushed over.

It is four meters tall, has a flexible body, is shaped like a dog, and the most peculiar thing is that it has two heads. Zao Wou-Ki checked it with the system and found that it was actually level 30.

However, Zao Wou-Ki didn't worry too much, because he had rough skin and thick flesh, and this mutated monster couldn't do much harm to him.

While resisting the frantic bite of both heads, he shouted, "Raphtalia! ”

Unexpectedly, Raphthalia did not attack this time, she looked at the huge two-headed monster with a frightened face, and kept retreating, as if she remembered something terrifying.

"No, no......" she murmured blankly.

She thought of the first wave, when a similar monster suddenly went crazy and attacked their village, and many of her companions were bitten to death, bloody, and torn apart in front of her, when the monster opened its big mouth and was about to bite her, if it wasn't for her parents desperately taking her to escape, she would have died in the monster's mouth.

Now, in the same scene, the fear of death came back to my heart.

Zao Wou-Ki saw that Raphtalia had been traumatized, and there were two solutions to this mental illness, one was to use warmth to heal the wounds and make her strong and brave. The second is to tear open the wound and face the fear, so that the wound forms a thick blood scab, but this practice is too painful.

Zao Wou-Ki, of course he chose the second option.

"Raphtalia, attack, it's an order."

The slave pattern activated, and Raphtalia, who was in a dazed state of fear, was suddenly awakened by severe pain.

Although the fear in her heart was not less, she still picked up her sword and rushed towards the monster. Because, she was even more reluctant to endure that torture again.

"Ugh."

The sword stabbed into the neck of the two-headed monster, and the hot blood spilled Raphtalia's face, and her eyes widened as she froze in place.

The monster whimpered and closed its eyes. At this moment, Zao Wou-Ki's shoulder had already been bitten out of several deep holes by sharp teeth, and blood flowed.

Raphthalia came back to her senses and saw that Zao Wou-Ki was injured, and she was about to step forward, but suddenly shivered.

Zao Wou-Ki was looking at her calmly, and he didn't seem to be angry at her disobedience and fear just now.

"Come here." Zao Wou-Ki spoke softly, as if he was worried about startling her.

Raphthalia gritted her teeth and slowly approached Zao Wou-Ki step by step.

But in the last half meter, he didn't dare to get any closer.

But Zao Wou-Ki didn't reach out and pull her over, but wanted to let her go into the tiger's mouth by herself, so that she would be even more afraid.

"Keep walking." Zao Wou-Ki said without refusal.

One centimeter, two centimeters,...... Zao Wou-Ki seemed extremely patient this time, waiting for Raphtalya for a long time.

Raphtalia closed her eyes almost in despair, master, you are going to kill me, but I don't want to die.

She finally touched Zao Wou-Ki and pressed it against Zao Wou-Ki's chest, very warm.

A cold, warm feeling crossed Raphtalia's neck and scratched her face.

This is the sword ...... No, it's the owner's finger.

Zao Wou-Ki gently wiped the blood on Raphtalia's face and said gently, "You are my best tool, I am really reluctant...... If there is another time like this, I will kill you. ”

Zao Wou-Ki acted intimately like a lover, and the breath in his mouth sprayed on Raphtalia's face, tickling, like a feather dancing, but the cold wind froze Raphtalia's heart.

The warm embrace was far away, and Raphtalia, who didn't dare to breathe, opened her eyes, and Zao Wou-Ki was walking towards the exit of the mine.

Raphtalia picked up her weapon and was about to follow.

A word came that made her body stiff: "Drag the two-headed monster corpse away, and you sleep with it tonight." ”

……

Author: What to do, it's so cool to abuse Raphtalia, the more you abuse, the more you open the forest......

I'm broken.
