Chapter 375: The Dock
Weapons are external to the body, but they do increase combat effectiveness.
It's like an ordinary person with bare hands, and it is difficult to defeat an enemy with a knife in his hand under normal circumstances. Because the blade is an extension of the fists and feet, an inch long and an inch dangerous. So before signing up for the hunter exam, Ogata pre-built a weapon for himself to add some chances of victory. Only when everything is in order can you guarantee that your chances of being selected as a hunter will increase.
Strike iron, run with weights, and refine the gangqi!
The body element is slowly improving, and the reserve of Gang Qi is also developing in the direction of advancement.
Life goes on in an ordinary and down-to-earth way, and for Ogata, who is used to the turmoil, there is no fighting, killing and intrigue, only single-minded cultivation, and a life of coarse tea and light rice with Leoli.
When the hunter exam is about a week away, you have to start registering, before you travel to Dolly Island.
Ogata quit his job as a blacksmith and said goodbye under the reluctant persuasion of the owner of the shop. His mind is not at all on the matter of striking iron to refine weapons, these days through guò contact with the forging of the furnace, he constantly stirs the hammer, has made the muscles of his arms more full and strong, a full circle thicker than before, now he can crush the teacup lightly, with the strength of the flesh, punch through the plank.
And the wooden stake that originally weighed 50 catties was replaced with a broken tree body of more than 100 catties a few days ago. Holding such a heavy object, he could run a distance of thousands of kilometers without stopping to rest anywhere, and Ogata's body had clearly surpassed before, and he should have almost caught up with Leoli
When the night is quiet, it is not uncommon for the world to be full of bright stars. It's a strange thing not to see these twinkling stars.
Leoli's rented house is far from the town. Between the quiet wilderness. As soon as you open the wooden door, you can see some of the crops and rice fields planted outside. The mouth and nose are able to breathe the freshest, most natural air.
Ogata and Leori set up a table outside, and because the indoor space is small, most of the time, they eat outside.
He once asked Leoli why he chose to live so far away from the town and in a cramped house. Leoli's answer was. Save a sum of money and end up quiet.
It's hard to imagine that Leoli is a guy who likes to be quiet.
Everyone has their own side, and Ogata often sees Leori in the night, staring alone in a certain direction, as if caught up in a memory, and this memory should be full of self-blame and unease.
Perhaps, this is the past he is reluctant to bring up to himself.
At night, the dining table is under an electric lamp, and the food is spewing a hint of heat.
These are all done by Ogata, because Leoli likes to buy ready-made ones outside. Although he likes to save money, this guy is really not good enough at cooking.
So this time. It's always been Leoli who buys the ingredients and cooks them from Ogata. The division of labor between the two of them is very clear!
Leori has been complimenting Ogata on the food he cooks, and he doesn't know if it's because he wants Ogata to keep cooking, or if the food really suits his appetite.
"We're leaving here tomorrow. It seems that this is the last meal to eat after staying in this place. Maybe we will be competing for admission places because of the hunter exam. Leori opened his mouth and looked at Ogata, who was munching on rice.
Ogata nodded, his eyes twinkling, "I'm ready, Leoli." ”
"Well, so do I!" Leoli said confidently: "I will definitely be able to become a hunter, this is my goal!" ”
"Oh, I wish you and me success!" Ogata held up the water glass, and the inside of the cup was clear boiled water.
Leoli grinned as he picked up his cup.
The cups of the two people collided in mid-air, making a crisp sound.
Ogata and Leori both took a big sip, and the latter complained, "It would be nice if it were wine, it doesn't taste at all." Anyway, if you get drunk today, you might not be able to catch the boat that will go to Dory Island tomorrow. ”
"It's good to drink some." Ogata gave Leori a blank look
The next day, in a rare move, Ogata didn't get up early to go for a run, and lay quietly in bed looking up at the ceiling.
Leoli, on the other hand, made a whirring sound and snored as if no one was around.
Ogata is used to the snoring of his roommate, and it's not earth-shattering, but you can hear it clearly even if you cover your ears.
Glancing at the alarm clock time on the bedside table, he slowly sat up, lifted the quilt, and put on his shoes.
When washing, try not to disturb the sleeping Leoli.
The most rare thing about this world is that although many traditions of the old century have been preserved, daily necessities such as toothpaste and soap are as necessary as the world in which you live.
His hair was wet, so Ogata wiped it with a towel and waited for it to be dried by the wind.
He put on the black robe he had bought, and the silver moldings reflected some holy and inviolable lines in the early morning sun.
Ogata did not prepare any luggage. Because he didn't bring anything with him when he came to this world, he naturally didn't have too many items to tie up when he left here.
The only thing you need to bring is the scalpel that has been recreated from a weapon wrapped in leather.
As for the old one, it was placed in a pocket sewn inside the black robe by Ogata.
When Leori woke up, Ogata was already sitting on the stone steps outside the wooden door, looking out at the early morning scenery.
He looked up, looked at Leoli yawning, and smiled, "It's time for us to go!" ”
Hearing this, Leoli seemed to be a lot more sober, he nodded solemnly, and went back to the house to wash
The combination of Ogata and Leoli is strange.
It's a sure thing to get noticed all the way!
One of them is wearing a suit and leather shoes, carrying a handbag in his hand, and wearing sunglasses on his face, like white-collar workers in a modern city. But he walked very casually, and his steps seemed a little frivolous.
Beside him, Ogata was dressed in a black robe, wearing a black top hat and holding a weapon in his hand, like a medieval wizard. Every step is very calm, and there is a calmness on his face that is beyond this age.
However, compared to the two of them, the guys who seem to be more strange outfits have zài.
"It's time for the docks!" Leori and Ogata stood on the dock by the sea, and the two of them felt that the view was occupied by a large blue hue against the slightly fishy sea breeze that was blowing in their faces, and they stood on the deck like pillars drifting in the wind.
The sea was vast, Ogata couldn't name it, but it was endless, like many of the oceans he'd seen before. The only difference is that the color of the sea is more saturated and blue, as if it is completely unpolluted.
Leoli had long inquired that if he wanted to go to Dory, he had to take it to this terminal to take a cruise ship on a designated route.
Ogata's gaze swept over the many ships docked on the shore, and finally settled on a medium-sized passenger ship, where several sailor-looking men were cleaning the cabin.
"It's supposed to be that one." Leoli pointed to the big ship that Ogata saw and said affirmatively.
Ogata thought it was, too, and he was just about to go over and ask. I found a few strong men beside me and walked straight over.
Seeing them on board, Ogata and Leori looked at each other, and the two of them walked towards the ship as well.
Just as they were approaching the ship, Ogata suddenly felt someone approaching behind him, and subconsciously shifted his gaze to the figure walking by!
A little imp dressed in green, with his hair standing on end, holding a fishing rod, ran over with an excited smile. His gait was brisk, and his whole body exuded a refreshing smell that made Ogata smell very refreshing.
This little ghost is not simple!
Ogata looked at him as he passed by, and deliberately paused, locking his gaze on his back.
And the little boy, who seemed to be aware of it, glanced back at Ogata.
"You know?" Leori looked at Ogata who was no longer leaving, and saw that he and a little ghost seemed to be eye-catching.
Ogata shook his head and smiled lightly, "This boy gives me a special feeling. (To be continued......)
