Liu Li, who had a good time, was in a good mood, but on the way back to the hotel, she was faintly worried in her heart. It's not a big deal, he can feel that with the improvement of his strength, the improvement of his physique, which has not been loosened for a long time, is about to start again. Since returning to Casfield City with Wells two years ago, the improvement of physical fitness seems to have reached a certain upper limit, although there has been an increase in the past two years, but the improvement is less than half a month in the forest before. Liu Li didn't know if the reason for this change was because he hadn't "died" in two years, or because his caster level had been promoted to one rank. If the strength is strengthened again, and the weapon in hand is used now, it must not become light in the future, and it will not be possible to replace the spear with a long-handled battle axe in the future. Just thinking about it, I feel that my whole painting style is getting more and more crooked.

It's getting dark, night is about to fall, and the town's market area is gradually quieting down. On the other hand, there is the hustle and bustle of the inns and taverns that dot the town. Liu Li's place of residence is still some distance away from the market area, watching the smiling mercenaries walking into the tavern, making a loud noise, and some pictures before the crossing can't help but appear in his mind. Liu Li doesn't have many friends, and there is not even one who can make friends at work, but fortunately, there are still a few Fa Xiao who grew up together. We often get together on weekends to talk about work and life. "I'll go back, I will!"

By the time Liu Li and Powell returned to the hotel, the lobby, which was run by the boss as a tavern, was already noisy. After getting a weapon in hand, Liu Li, who was in a good mood, rarely returned to his room immediately, but asked for a glass of fruit wine with the lowest degree, and sat alone in the corner of the lobby listening to the boasting of the mercenaries around him and the performance of the bard. He had no choice but to choose this fruit wine, and even then, he asked Powell more than once to send him back to his room if he fell here.

In fact, another reason why Liu Li stayed here was that the bard who was playing was the first time he had seen the elves since he left Casfield City. Although these long-eared people occasionally appear in the mercenary guilds of Casfield, they are basically a team of their own race, and rarely communicate with others unless necessary.

Liu Li couldn't determine the age of the elf girl who was playing, which was indeed a bit difficult for a strong man, and the age of the elf has always been one of the most mysterious topics in the whole world. It's too difficult to determine the age of a race like this, which grows up to their twenties and then ages rapidly for years before they die, not to mention that their life cycle is more than a thousand years old.

From the conversations of the mercenaries around him, it seems that the elf, who is a bard by profession, travels alone and does not follow any of the fixed teams. This also made Liu Li marvel at the strength of this seemingly weak elf girl, this world is far from being as safe as imagined, especially for elves. Perhaps thanks to the natural affinity, the danger in the wild will not be as great as imagined, but for the threat from humans, the only thing that can be relied on is their own strength.

As if sensing Liu Li's attention, the elf who finished the performance asked for a glass of fruit wine, walked over leisurely, and naturally sat next to Liu Li. Liu Li completely ignored the whistles around him and Powell's frowning expression, as there was a brief pause when the elf came to him. Since Liu Li was in the corner, no one else saw the elf's vague mage ceremony.

"Hello, mage. Different from the light singing voice when she played before, her voice made Liu Li feel very comfortable listening to the conversation, and there was no trace of deliberateness in her natural tone, like the ripples scattered by the breeze on the surface of the lake, as if the whole person was silent when she heard this voice. "You can call me Heng, a profession, as you can see, a bard. In fact, Heng was also very strange in her heart, she usually wouldn't talk to a stranger like this, but the elf's intuition only told her that this person felt very close to her, but did not indicate the reason for this feeling.

"Hello, Heng. After returning a mage ceremony, Liu Li was not too surprised that the other party could see that he was a spellcaster, and it was not surprising that he could walk alone on the continent with this kind of strength. As for the profession of bard, it is not just ordinary people who bring pleasure to people in taverns. Bards are also a kind of warfare profession that incorporate elements into their instruments and play them to produce a spell-like effect that is expressed through the spread of sound. "Liu Li, a first-order mage. ”

The closeness that this not very powerful mage brought to her did not increase with the change of distance, but only existed as if it were nothing. Heng couldn't find the reason, and he didn't know how to speak, if it involved the other party's secret, it was really rude to ask directly, and Heng didn't know how to continue the conversation for a while.

In fact, Liu Li also has this kind of closeness, which he felt as early as the moment he stepped into the tavern, and it was not strong, but it always existed. He knew that the other party felt this way, but no one could break the deadlock and confirm the feeling in his heart.

"Hoo ......"

"The ......"

The same surprised expression flashed from the faces of the two, and then looked at each other and smiled as if relieved, it seemed that the other party had no less doubts in his heart than his own, which also made the relationship between the two instantly closer.

"I don't know why, but I felt that the moment I came in. After a pause, Liu Li continued: "It's as if all your attention was attracted to you in an instant. ”

"I was pretty much the same, at first I thought it was my problem, until I realized that you had been looking at me, and I was sure it wasn't a delusion. ”

Liu Li smiled embarrassedly, the appearance of the elves is known for its delicacy, and Heng is worthy of the name of elves, even more beautiful than other elves Liu Li has seen, especially those eyes, which exude a faint golden color in the not bright light, which is fascinating.

Two people...... Well, the one person and the elf are not in a hurry to continue the conversation, they enjoy the closeness to each other, and at the same time, they are carefully studying the details, trying to find the reason for this feeling. This sudden feeling is not annoying, but it also confuses the two.

"Hey, boy, get out of the way. An untimely voice interjected, and Heng frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. The experience of being alone for many years let her know that at this time, it is more appropriate to hand over the right to speak to Liu Li as a human being.

Liu Li was also very helpless, although she had expected this, she didn't like this kind of trouble. When Heng was still playing before, there were quite a few mercenaries in the hall who were ready to talk. And she came directly to herself after the performance, and she stayed for so long, there are not a few people who are red-eyed. To be honest, it was already very good in Liu Li's opinion that they could endure it for so long, even in the mercenary union of Casfield, conflicts caused by trivial things such as jealousy also occurred from time to time. As for Heng directly throwing the problem to himself, it is understandable, after all, racial differences are a problem. Liu Li didn't care too much about the eyes around him who were waiting to see a good show, but just stared at Powell hatefully. It doesn't matter if others watch the play, this unreliable uncle is actually like this.

"Hey, didn't you hear me?" It seemed that Liu Li's ignorance angered the other party, and his tone became more and more unkind.

Liu Li looked at the guy in front of him, "Well, the beard is not as beautiful as Carbine, the figure is not as strong as Powell, and the weapon is just an ordinary two-handed sword, and the texture of the leather armor is ......average."

"Hey, I don't care if the people under my hands are jealous of others, but if you are looking for trouble, we are not vegetarians. As Powell's voice came from afar, the mercenaries belonging to the sharp stone in the tavern also stood up, although they did not draw their weapons, but these eyes also made these mercenaries who came to find fault like a man, and their movements were a little hesitant. Powell has been a mercenary for so many years, how rich his experience is, he can see at a glance that the big man can't help Liu Li, plus it's not a deep hatred, no one will use real killer moves, as long as Liu Li is not besieged, the other party must suffer. He had just seen Liu Li with a gun today, and now he wanted to know how Liu Li would behave when he really faced people, and now, it was a good opportunity.

Sighing, Liu Li knew that Powell couldn't count on it, and he couldn't wait to see himself fight with others. Silently picked up the spear 'Yanhui' that was put aside, and held it in his hand, after all, it was not a real battle, and he couldn't point the end of the blade at the other party. Liu Li knew in his heart that the long weapon he used well was not advantageous in the current environment, but the opponent's body was far taller than himself, although Liu Li was very confident in terms of strength, there was a big disadvantage in the attack distance. The other party didn't plan to use the two-handed sword behind him, and the people who came with him didn't actually have the intention of interfering, but just came to strengthen the momentum. Of course, by the way, I also came to clear the scene and give the two of them enough space.

The mercenaries whistled all around, and it seemed to them that there was such an unexpected entertainment in the tavern, and it was really earned tonight. Without being instructed, consciously move the tables and chairs, and if the wine is not enough, you have to order a full glass, and even in this short period of time, even the gambling game has started.

"'Gray Corner', Toru. There was no sloppy concession to the young man in front of him, and the big man named Che also glanced at Liu Ligao and reported his name and the mercenary group he belonged to. After all, just looking at the difference in size, his advantage is quite obvious.

"Uh...... 'Sharp Stone', Liu Li. Liu Li is still very unaccustomed to this kind of duel that starts with the words of each other, although he has seen it many times in Casfield City, but he never thought that he would be one of them, and there was a slight hesitation in his voice.

Che didn't talk much nonsense, seeing that Liu Li was ready to fight, he swept over with a punch, still thinking about the scene of the opponent being knocked down by his own blow, looking at Liu Li's young face, the strength in his hand couldn't help but converge a little again.

Liu Li was not careless, and directly turned on the state of "omniscience", and was also aware of the details of the other party's halfway retraction. The right hand holding the gun moved slightly, and the barrel of the gun was against his side, blocking the opponent's fist. Because the room was not bright, Che didn't pay much attention to the texture of the spear in Liu Li's hand before, and didn't notice it until his fist came into contact with the barrel of the gun, and then looked at Liu Li's figure that didn't retreat a step, and his heart was dark: "Why is this kid so strong!"

However, Liu Li didn't give him a second chance, in view of the other party's behavior, Liu Li's reward was to let him suffer less. From static to moving, it was only in one moment, and at the next moment when Liu Li pressed the barrel of the gun against the opponent's fist, as if the entire spear had been given life, it danced with Liu Li's agile steps. Completely abandoning the stabbing action, Liu Li's every sweep was aimed at Toru's ankles and knees. Toru's counterattack was blocked by the barrel of the gun every time. Powell had just seen Liu Li's spear skills in the afternoon, and even made him feel like he couldn't splash water, and now it is of course no problem to resist such an attack, not to mention that in terms of strength, Liu Li has an absolute advantage.

"Alright, we'll throw in the towel. "It was the head of the 'Gray Corner' mercenary group who was sitting next to him who spoke. Just kidding, what can you do if you don't admit defeat, I haven't seen that I haven't really gotten up since I fell down for the first time, although I haven't suffered any substantial damage until now, but instead of continuing to embarrass people here, it's better to admit defeat directly. "Powell, you've got a good seedling. It seems that this is not a stranger to Powell.

"Where, where, it's just a little fight. Powell, who felt that he had earned face, was almost grinning to the root of his ears, and he no longer mentioned that Liu Li was not his subordinate, and boasted to the other party with the ale wine.

Heng was also very curious about Liu Li's fighting style, she had been walking in the human world for far longer than Liu Li's age, but she had never seen a mage reach Liu Li's level in martial arts. However, seeing that things were over, he lost the interest of continuing to stay here, and said goodbye to Liu Li and went back to his room.

"Captain, should I have a share of the money I won in the gambling game just now? Liu Li, who was also going to go back to the room, said faintly when she passed by Powell's side. One sentence made Powell, who was bragging to the head of the "gray corner", stagnate, and couldn't help but feel distressed about his money bag. He knew that Liu Li was dissatisfied with his previous behavior, but he was helpless, and it seemed that he couldn't keep any of the gold coins he had just received.

Seeing Powell's reaction, Liu Li, who was in a good mood, slept peacefully. Early the next morning, the caravan set off again, and there was an elf in the team.
