Chapter 67
It's getting late.
It's also darker in the jungle than outside.
Luo Lika and several mercenaries consciously took on the work of miscellaneous labor, in addition to the fact that they were basically responsible for these jobs, but also because the ability gap between them and Liu An was too big, they could only do these things, not to mention that the other party was still their employer.
Lorika is taking her daughter Andres to insert a finely made metal rod into the surrounding ground every ten steps or so, the bottom end of the metal rod is sharpened, even ordinary people can easily poke into the ground and stand up, before inserting it, check whether a part of the top is lit up in advance, if not, you need to twist the metal rod, the inside is hollow, and replace the magic stone cut into a cylindrical shape placed inside.
After connecting the metal rods in a circle, even the night watchman does not need it.
Not only will the monsters and beasts not come near here, but even the flying insects such as mosquitoes and flies will not be there.
Bishop Gelana said it was a primitive totem, and Warlock Uriel identified a few runes from the pattern on it, guessing that it was a magical enchantment. Either way, it's a very powerful and useful prop.
"Mom, don't activate the switch to activate the enchantment yet, Aunt Luna and that blonde-haired sister have gone out to collect firewood and food and haven't come back yet."
After taking the last "totem metal rod" from Andres's arms and inserting it into the ground, the girl clapped her hands and said.
"Oh, huh? You say firewood, we have a magic stove, why do you need to collect firewood? ”
"It seems that our young master wants to eat barbecue, he is really a person who doesn't have a sense of nervousness, and he has to be picky in this kind of place" The girl wrinkled her nose and was a little dissatisfied with Liu An.
"He's qualified, and their craft is really exciting."
As she spoke, Lorika pulled out a box-like foundation from her fanny pack. When opened, there were two thin sheets of crystal that looked like contact lenses, and a small compartment next to them contained clear solid slime.
After applying mucus to both sides of the temples, attach the crystal flakes to the top and fit them on the skin.
"Put this enchantment crystal on first, and we'll stay here. Wait for you, Aunt Luna, and they come back."
Andres also took out an identical locket and put on the crystal patch. This item allows the wearer not to be disturbed by the enchantment, does not trigger an alarm when entering or exiting the enchantment, and because it is worn on the temple, it will also alert the wearer when an unauthorized unit enters the enchantment, just like a telepathy patch.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then they saw Luna and a beautiful blonde swordsman coming together.
Merely......
Luna is also a seventh-order marksman, and has mastered the Ranger skill. The equipment is quite gorgeous among ordinary adventurers, but walking next to the blonde beautiful girl, how do you look like a follower and a servant.
Should I lament that this girl's natural aristocratic aura is too strong?
Lorika smiled and thought to herself.
We are flaming roses, not servants and servants...... No, admit it, you are now servants and servants, both formally and practically.
Walk around. The blonde beautiful girl swordsman nodded, saying hello to their mother and daughter.
Andres is in a rebellious phase. If someone else treats them with this attitude, there is a chance that they will fight, but the girl in front of her is too gorgeous and unfathomable, and the combination of the two conquers her, and she is now Sophie's brainless fan.
"Mom. She nodded at me."
“……”
As soon as the two walked by, Andres immediately grabbed Rolica's arm and jumped excitedly, making the latter feel that "he is a servant and a servant" even stronger.
Lorika was a little speechless and activated the enchantment, and the green light of the metal rod head lit up, connecting with the surrounding metal totem sticks. Dozens of points of green light flickered neatly, on, off, on, off...... After repeating it for a while, they all disappeared, including the metal totem itself, which gradually became invisible.
Only those who wear the crystal patches can clearly see these metal totem sticks, which also represents the official effect of the enchantment.
When they returned to the center of the camp, Warlock Yuriel and Bishop Gelana had also packed their pack horses and luggage, and the rest of the team, including the Flaming Rose second-generation young mercenaries who were planning to come out for training, were sent back to the station, and these tasks were only done by themselves.
Originally, in the Endless Forest, because the beasts and monsters were too ferocious, it was difficult to get supplies on the spot, and it was necessary to carry a lot of supplies, and it was necessary to try to be cooked food such as dry food, and it should be able to be stored for a long time.
Timberwolves are also attracted to the light of fire, like lions on the African savannah, and there is nothing more deadly than being attacked by a pack of timberwolves in the Endless Forest at night.
The basic skill of the monsters here is to spit out a fireball or other magic ball, do you think they will be afraid of the fire?
There are many, many precautions like this, and only the fiery red rose mercenary group that has hunted in the Endless Forest knows this, if you use the "common sense" of other places or on the earth, it will definitely die ugly, so Luo Lika will laugh at Liu An in a slightly mocking tone at the beginning.
It's just that within a few days of being on the road, Lorika knew that she was wrong, and she was outrageously wrong, plus Aunt Carrie's prompt before departure, she sent all the others back to the station, and only took the core members of the mercenary group that was formed to complete the mission.
People are not afraid to make mistakes, but they are afraid of death without repentance.
At this time, Lorika felt that those pack horses and the supplies they carried were also redundant, and with each other, she didn't have to worry about eating and drinking at all, because in the enchantment, not only can you live and cook casually, but even if you roll on the ground, you don't have to worry about attracting demonic beasts outside.
And the dry food and dried meat they carried didn't taste very good, but fortunately, Liu An didn't target them much, otherwise they could only watch their employers eat bran and vegetables by themselves while eating big fish and meat.
There is still a period of time before eating, and the blonde girl who has changed into her home clothes is dealing with the pile of dendrobium boars like a hill with the black-haired beautiful girl named Tifa, and the black-haired beauty named Tifa is very kind, and usually chats with these mercenaries.
Yuriel and Gelana are building restrooms for use at night, though Yuriel is not a full-time alchemist or earth mage. But it is still possible to dig a large pit and drainage ditch in a short period of time with mana, and Gelana is responsible for building the planks of the bathroom, with card slots on both sides of the plank, like a jigsaw puzzle, as long as the planks are put together one by one in order, they can be combined into a solid bathroom. In addition to convenience, you can also take a hot shower, although it is just a simple shower, but for these women who work as mercenaries, especially in the wild, it is also a rare enjoyment.
All kinds of domestic water from the dirt, bathing wastewater, and cooking water from there are discharged into a large pit dug by Yuriel, which is originally far away from the living quarters, and has a simple seal on it. The slightest smell that escapes will also be masked by the surrounding thatch, or absorbed by a kind of box hanging on the tent, and before leaving tomorrow, the wooden bathroom will be dismantled and taken away, and the large pit will be buried, and it will not be tracked by any magical beasts.
The pyre has been set up, but there is no fire yet, so don't get me wrong. If it is said to be a barbecue, it will not be carried out in such a large pyre. Instead, there is a dedicated charcoal and oven. The role of the firewood pile is just a set, around the firewood pile to eat barbecue, drink cold beer, don't you think it is very life-like?
Rolica and Andres set their hands on the stove by spreading felt and a barbecue table around the pyre, and lit the oven as Tifa instructed. Then place it in the square trough in the center of the barbecue. As for the cooking and handling of the ingredients, they are not able to help, their cooking skills are limited to the point of roasting the meat and eating the dead, the kind of dendrobium boar that weighs a meal each in ten minutes with a pig-killing knife, and all the delicious parts are cut into almost transparent slices. They don't have this kind of ability.
Soon, large plates of freshly cut meat were placed on their respective tables, as well as wild vegetables and pine mushrooms picked in the woods, and wild vegetables with water droplets on the emerald green side were placed together with bright red and tender meat slices, which made people appetize their fingers when they looked at it, and they were also dotted with colorful mushrooms...... Anyway, these mushrooms are not poisonous, only witches use these things when refining vicious potions, can they really be eaten?
With this question, the female mercenaries who had done all the work and washed their hands and faces, followed the example of Tifa and Sophie, and began to barbecue, Tifa took out draft beer from the storage bracelet, and gave them a few buckets, and then greeted Liu An:
"Husband, the meal is OK, come over to Missy"
Sophie laughed straight down, Tifa herself laughed crookedly, and the female mercenary on the opposite side didn't know what to say, and looked at them inexplicably.
It is inconvenient to eat with long hair, so Sophie and Tifa tied their hair up and tied it in a bun at the back of their heads, and Liu An also had long hair at the strong request of Sophie and Somi, and combing his hair has always been Sophie and Somi's favorite.
After kneeling on the felt and letting Sophie comb her hair, the first wave of meat slices and mushrooms have been examined, take a roll of lettuce leaves, chew it and chew it for a few bites, and then pour half a glass of cold draft beer in one go, and make a wine burp, which is really a fairy enjoyment.
Tifa was busy taking care of the two, and was forced by Liu An to sit down to eat and drink together, and the table opposite did the same, and after trying to eat a few bites, he immediately fell in love with the taste and way of eating.
"Husband, I see that you've been looking at that kind of animal skin scroll lately, don't you have that kind of spiritual skill that can sweep a big face, it's very interesting to read the scroll like this, right?"
It is Tifa who will call Liu An's husband in front of people, Sophie only calls him husband when the two of them are alone or when a few people roll the sheets, and the same goes for Suomi.
"Don't dare" Liu An's lips moved quickly, and almost in the blink of an eye, he eliminated a large plate of barbecue and drank a sip of ice draft beer. "Never be fooled by appearances, although that old man male demigod is like a master in the world, but people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, gods and demigods are also people, who knows if Lu Dao will harbor evil intentions, and it is easy to trigger some traps by using spiritual skills, after reading the evaluation report made by Yuanxiang and them, the [Corrosion Seed] in the ruins of the city can follow the direction of spiritual power emanation and reverse invade the source"
These conversations are all in [Is] language, in which the words "demigods", "corrosive seeds", and "city ruins" are all very attention-grabbing, and the mercenary at the table opposite stopped talking, and pricked her ears, only Andres munched heartlessly, and took advantage of her mother's inattention to secretly drink the steaming draft beer.
"Oh. Saoga (so it was)...... In short, it is right to be careful."
"Hey, don't mess around with the eleventh district in your daily conversation, I always feel like I'm facing a female devil, and this feeling will trigger some kind of nerves in me."
"They don't have anything to do with your neon district, it's just a woman from another world who happens to speak the language of District 11."
Sophie in an "elegant gluttony" way. Destroying the food at a speed no less than Liu An's, he asked, "Speaking of which, my lord, why are you putting me and Sister Suomi in the ...... during this time?" Sleeping? ”
"Ah, it's just a personal bad taste, with you and Somi, no thief will touch me, and this is the range of Is, and playing a game of hide and seek with those secret agents can pass the time, but it looks like they have lost us"
The table exchanged glances with her companion. A look of surprise.
"So husband, do you think this trip will be rewarding?" Tifa went back to the previous topic, hiding a few keywords such as "main god", "block", and "mission".
"There should be, those animal skin scrolls record the activities of vampires in the Central Continent, although it was 10,000 years ago, but I think vampires are also long-lived...... I always feel that they feel different from our Selena, and it is more appropriate to use the word longevity;
Vampires are also a long-lived species, and they should not be eliminated by humans so easily. Just find the right door to our ability. It shouldn't be difficult to pass through those subspace secret realms, and when the time comes, as long as you find the vampire, everything will have an answer."
"I always think that vampires are all handsome and beautiful, the most elegant kind," Tifa said, touching his cheek.
"I've seen too many cartoons, Selena's former kindred, do you think they have anything to do with elegance? When eating? ”
"There's going to be that kind of vampire, isn't Selena the glorified vampire in the cartoon now?"
Hearing this, Rolica and her daughter Andres Qiqi felt something like "Damn! It turns out that the beautiful woman in the black trench coat is a vampire......
Is it just that vampires lick lollipops?
Lorika's impression of Selena is still stuck in the day when she pinched her strength, and fear flowed down her spine like cold air into her brain, causing her whole body to stiffen.
In fact, she didn't know what to do, except for the lollipop. The vampire Selena would also lick something similar, something only Ang Liu had......
"Actually, I think it's okay if we can't find those vampires, it's great to let them release the demon king Wilde, and let us fight...... Oops~"
Liu An bared his teeth at her and put away his hand that knocked her violently.
"What can't be destroyed and can only be sealed is a very troublesome existence, that Wilde...... Isn't she a woman, this name is really weird, that Wilde Demon King was sealed instead of killed, it is likely to be this kind of troublesome thing, usually representing a certain origin of this world, even if she kills her body and annihilates her soul, she will be reborn in a certain period of time in the future, as for whether it was the previous one, it's hard to say, maybe even the gender will change"
"Isn't that right...... Sophie clenched her fists and posed in a posture of [life, the sea], "My lord, you are a brave man, I am a righteous beautiful girl swordsman, we are just going to fight the demon king, ahahha
Lorika's Table: ......
Liu An: "You drink high, you, off the line, not to mention how laborious and dangerous it is to PK with the Demon King, the devastating consequences caused by light are unpredictable, so save it, it's easier to deal with vampires, you just happen to be their nemesis"
The female mercenaries looked at each other, and they didn't know if this was true or false, the brave vs. the demon king? Although this is a high-level magical world, this stalk has been outdated for a long time, and even a girl of Andres's age scoffs at this kind of story.
But if it's true......?!
Four of the five people at this table are adults who have been baptized by life, and they no longer have the blood and passion of their girlhood, and they all have their own considerations, and they look at each other again, as if they have heard nothing.
We're just guarding him for the ruins, and there's no rule that we have to fight the Demon King......
Andres looked left and right, although the wine was up, but she controlled her emotions and actions very well, and did not say much.
This is also one of the reasons why Lorika sent back all the second-generation teenagers of the mercenary group and left her alone, although the girl is rebellious, she is not stupid.
……
Naturally, there is no nightlife or entertainment in the wilderness, and after eating, at most I can take a walk in the enchantment to eliminate my food, and then fall asleep quickly.
……
Nothing was said all night.
……
At dawn, a red-haired tall female swordsman came out of Liu An's tent, naturally without exception, a beautiful woman, and with a noble temperament.
Now a few female mercenaries have become more or less immune to his magical tent, which does not look big, but it can accommodate three people, as if connecting to another space, there are always beautiful women disappearing there, and there are always beautiful women appearing from there.
Tearing down the tents, moving the toilets, retrieving the totemic metal rods on the periphery, and sorting out the luggage and horses took about forty minutes, and the red-haired female swordsman looked cold, but in fact she was very eager to help, making them much more efficient.
When it was time to hit the road, the red-haired female swordsman took Liu An out of the tent and gently placed it on the back of the tiger's mount. She was very familiar with Liu An's equipment, and she knew how to summon his mount, and at first glance it belonged to the kind of relationship that definitely had a leg, just like those women who appeared these days.
Then, with a wipe of his hand, he took away their tents out of thin air and was ready to go on the road at any time, which was much more efficient than the mercenaries.
(Recently, my dad suddenly urinated blood and tossed for many days, and it seems that his little friend has lost the ability to stand...... (To be continued......)
