[Listening test: 96>95>25, big failure.] You try to listen to something, but you get so focused that you lose sight of the thorny bush next to you. 】

"Ahh

[You take 1 damage, remaining HP: 10/11.] As a result of an ear injury, you will experience a 5-point hearing impairment in the next three hours, i.e. your listening success rate drops from 25 to 20. 】

"......" Brunei smiled a little embarrassedly at Scarly, who rolled his eyes at him, then he laughed twice more and released a "heal minor injury" to his ear. As soon as his mind moved, a turquoise light flashed.

[You cast a healing effect on minor injuries, consume 1MP, restore 1 HP, and heal wounds.] Current HP: 11/11, self MP: 8/8, Magic Emblem storage MP is an additional MP: 147/500. 】

While in the carriage, William, in order to express his gratitude to Brunei and his concern for the safety of the two of them, casually transferred 100 standard units to Brunei Darussalam, and once again heroically waved his hand to refuse when Brunei offered to return it in the future. I have to say that his behavior has had a big impact on Brunei.

Considering that Miss Scarly was quite close to William, and her essence was obviously not bad, and her family background was even better than William's, the attraction of Brunei, who worked as a guard, skyrocketed tenfold in that moment. In contrast, it is not enough to put up with the over-sensitivity of the eldest lady to the problems of height and age.

“...... Miss, please look at the map and confirm our location. Brunei interrupted his thoughts, bowed respectfully to the eldest lady, bowed more than ninety degrees, put his head much lower than the eldest lady's eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"Ah, really, can't you look at the map!" Scarly said with a frown as she pulled out the map.

The corners of Brunei's mouth twitched, and he continued to say respectfully: "Miss, you may not remember, I told you before that the map you use is too complicated for me to understand. ”

"I know! I'm just talking!" Scarly gritted her teeth, her hand straining so hard that the map was almost torn, and she squinted at Brunei again, "Come here, I'll teach you." Stand up. ”

Brunei continued to bow, bent down and said, "Yes, Miss." ”

Feeling a little frenzied, Scarly swung the map and smashed it on Brunei's head: "I'll let you stand up!"

"I see, you're sarcastic, aren't you?" she said viciously to Brunei as he stood up, who took a step back, looking scared, but couldn't see his actual expression because of the mask. Scarly's temples burst into a few veins, but finally, after taking a few deep breaths, she calmed down.

"I see. Her expression was serious, "You see, I've never asked you to speak to me with such an attitude. Now I'm telling you, it's good that you treat me normally. If—if you dare to play these tricks on me again, even if you pass Uncle Ford's test, I won't let you be my bodyguard, understand!"

[Hehe, that little bit of caution has also been seen through, isn't it a little embarrassing?]

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, because there's nothing to think about. At best, it's just a little bit of dissatisfaction. At the end of the day, the reason why I behaved like this was because of her previous requirement that she should respect her master. I thought she would enjoy this kind of communication......" Brunei's brow furrowed slightly, "No matter how you think about it, it's overly sensitive." ”

When Brunei raised his head, he had already changed his face to a calm face, and nodded yes: "Understood, I'm sorry, Miss." ”

"You-" Scarly couldn't say a word, rolled her eyes, held the map with her left hand, and swiped lightly on it with her right hand, "Okay, come and see." We've been walking for an hour, and we've been walking up the hill after climbing the hill, so we're probably around here. You should at least understand this, right?"

Brunei looked at the circle drawn by her slender fingers wrapped in white silk gloves, carefully recalled the children's stick figure map she had seen in the adventurer's camp in the past, and after thinking for a long time, she shook her head sincerely: "I don't understand it at all. ”

Scarly slapped her on the smooth forehead, "...... It's hard to explain it to you in a short period of time. In short, you can roughly understand that the height of the places where these lines pass on the map is the same. You see, the height of the line is marked here - forget it, here we are. Continue to move forward, and after walking for a few dozen minutes, you will enter the demon wolf hunting area he marked. ”

"The same height......" Brunei continued to stare at the map for a while, "I seem to understand." ”

"I know you can't read it, I'll find someone to teach you when I go back, you-" Scully said to Brunei as she carefully rolled up the map, and then she was stunned for a moment when she heard Brunei's words, "What did you just say?"

Brunei glanced at her suspiciously: "I probably understand a little." It would be great if you could find someone to teach me. ”

"Oh, well...... Scarly rolled up the map and shook her head, "Well, I'll get some rest then." Let's move on. Remember to be vigilant. After all, the prey area is only an estimate, and it may not be absolutely accurate even if it was a week ago. ”

"Yes, Miss. Brunei didn't bow and nodded.

............

[Listening test: 87>25, failed.] There seemed to be nothing but the sound of the wind on the silent hills. 】

After walking over a steep ridge and a little visible on the mountainside, they came to a gentle slope of earth that was considered wide. This reminded Brunei of the scene when he had encountered the demon wolf before, and that he had officially entered the prey area drawn on the map, so they stopped and rested for a while.

"Failure again? And it's such an exaggerated number, you can't do anything, right?" Brunei grumbled dissatisfiedly.

[Why, I can't do the test itself. What's more, what's in it for me to create this failure?]

"Don't you like to see me laugh at me? Brunei pursed his lips, "Forget it, observe." ”

[Reconnaissance verification: 1<5<60, great success. Your cautious gaze sweeps over every detail of the hill, and between the withered yellow grass and the dark brown earth, you unexpectedly see something somewhere in between. 】

According to the description of the system, it is not surprising that Brunei saw a white-gray mass on the ground, and if it wasn't specifically proposed by the system, he would have ignored them as accumulated floating ash or branches or something.

[Hell, you just complained and became a big success, didn't it look like I was manipulating.] Hell!]

Ignoring the system's nonsense, Brunei gestured to Scarly and walked over to the mess.

“...... It seems to be dry manure. Brunei frowned, a little hesitant to pick it up, and said in a tangled way.

Then he saw a fair, smooth, slender hand reach out and grab the thing.

"You're right, and there's broken bones in it. The not-so-gentle, high-pitched, clear female voice rang in his ears, "Do you think this could be the feces of a demon wolf? ”

"Well, thanks for the compliment, this ......," Brunei replied a little stiffly.

Scully saw him staring at his right hand, and after glancing at it herself, she smiled softly, "Oh, I took off my gloves, because they don't look good if they get dirty." It's not the hand with the magic emblem, it's normal. ”

"No, it's not—" Brunei suddenly realized that he had nothing to say, and after a few strange convulsions with a strange expression, he changed the subject with a dry cough, "Ahem, it's nothing. Yes, I think it's devil wolf droppings. ”

Of course, he didn't know the feces of demon wolves, and there was not only one kind of demon wolf that would move in winter, but he remembered that the system had mentioned to him: "Great success will lead to event-oriented results that are beneficial to the completion of goals." ”

This is an incomprehensible theory, but there are too many things that the system is incomprehensible to him, and most of them have been proven correct.

Hearing his answer, Scully nodded thoughtfully, and held the mass to his eyes for a moment of careful study, then placed it on the ground and said to Brunei, "Then we will have to be more careful in the future." This is indeed the range of the demon wolves, and most of these things are very hungry in winter, and we hardly have to think about them letting us go. ”

Brunei smiled: "Miss, it's not that they let us go. It's the trouble we're going to find them. ”

Scarly glanced at Bruneith and smiled genuinely at him for the first time after stepping out of the carriage, nodding, "You're right. But I can't keep an eye out for stealth activity nearby, so I'll leave it up to you to find them. ”

Brunei nodded silently, and at the same time said in his heart: "System, listen." ”

[The same command can only be used every five minutes except in special circumstances, I should have told you, right?]

"......" Brunei, who felt a little embarrassed for a while, coughed lightly, and Scarly looked at him, thinking of his previous words, he was a little embarrassed to say something like "Why don't we stay here for five minutes and wait for a wave of skill CDs".

"Do you have any way to find them?" asked Scali, seeing that Brunei was silent.

“...... Theoretically, listening can discern their location, and from the beginning I was going to listen and wait for the rabbits, but unfortunately we couldn't hear for a while. Brunei responded in his heart, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed.

When he first clicked on the system skill, it was to target Bell Bailey, the correspondent who didn't know why he was following him at the time. In order to find his location, "Observe" was clicked, "Psychology" was clicked to determine the truth of his tracking after meeting, and "Dodge" was clicked to prevent a possible fight. These three items have been used frequently by him ever since.

But there is another skill, at that time, in order to deal with the situation that the other party chooses to flee after discovering him, forcing Bell into a situation where he must face each other, Brunei also ordered a skill called "tracking". It's just that it didn't come in handy at that time, and the later Brunei was always on the side of being tracked, so it was almost forgotten by him.

"Yes, I have a way. Brunei smiled and nodded confidently at Scarly, while inwardly ordering, "System, tracking - start with the location of the feces and trace the movements of the individuals who left the feces. ”

[Okay, tracking check: 14<60, successful.] 】

Brunei smiled a little smugly.
