The village of Taar, where Brunei used to live, is located in the southwestern part of the empire, just a stone's throw from the border. Still www.biquge.info in the vicinity, and even in most of the Imperial conceptions, this is not so much a frontier as a hinterland.

Unlike the spy wars between the Empire and the Federation in the north, which are often thrilling, unlike the pirate attacks on the eastern sea, and the people of the southern frontier who live day and night in fear of being scalped alive by the invasion of the Southern Barbarians, there is almost no communication with the outside of the Empire. Perhaps because of poverty, even merchants who are not part of the world rarely settle here.

The reason for this is simple. The western frontier of the empire is completely blocked by endless mountain ranges, forming a natural dividing line. Everyone knows that the greatest barrier between the Empire and the Federation is this mountain range, and no one has ever managed to cross it. To this day, it is not even clear how huge this mountain range really is. This is where the name of the Endless Mountains comes from.

A kilometer west from the village of Tahr, crossing the Tal River that Brunei picked up the system, you will enter the realm of the Endless Mountains.

There is no need to go far, just go west over two hills, and cross the familiar territory. It is impossible to find a good path for people to walk on the ground, and there is no trace of human activity anymore.

The people who live in this neighborhood have heard the legend of the Endless Mountains. It is home to a variety of man-eating beasts, and according to legend, there are even dragons in the deepest part that no one has ever seen. People from other places often think it's ridiculous when they hear it, but the locals, although no one has seen it with their own eyes, are very tacitly active in a limited range, and occasionally accidentally leave, they will turn around and go home in a hurry.

Brunei was no exception in the past. But now, he had to leave the familiar area.

[You should bring two more pairs of shoes.] 】

On the fourth day of the Great Journey, Brunei sat on a large rock at the top of the fourth mountain to the west, and looked with great headaches at the straw sandals with a big hole, when the system said this to him.

The peak was relatively high, and when there were no clouds to block it, Brunei could even see the village of Taal - perhaps the city of Gars, a blurry black patch outside the mountain range, and he didn't know where it was.

But now suddenly there were clouds and mist, and there was a lot of mountain wind, if it wasn't for the sound of the system sounding in his head, he must not be able to hear what the system was saying. Fortunately, at the beginning, Brunei still wanted to speak from time to time, and in the past few days, walking in the mountains and forests, it has become a habit to talk to the system without opening his mouth.

"Less nonsense. I have to have so many shoes, too. ”

Straw sandals are not very comfortable to wear, and the price is not cheap, and Brunei, as a left-behind child who has to eat and drink around the village even for meals, is naturally like most children around him, and does not have the habit of wearing shoes when it is not necessary. These straw sandals were given to him by Su on his birthday last year, otherwise he would have been walking barefoot in the mountains.

[You don't, you have a lot of shoes in the village, don't you? You're going to leave anyway - okay, okay, don't talk about this. Alas, I had known that when I was in the Gals Gang, I would have picked up a few pairs for you to bring with me. I tell you, back then, there were shoes and clothes everywhere that no one wanted, and heck, now that I think about it, it's a shame. 】

Brunei didn't understand the system's ridiculous joke at first, but as he opened his baggage to find something that could repair the shoes, he suddenly understood the meaning. The pungent smell of blood lingered on the tip of his nose again. At the same time, the mountain wind was blowing, and he was frozen there with coldness, and he almost didn't grasp the burden in his hand and let it roll down the mountain.

“...... You never mentioned it again. ”

[Hmm.] When you first entered the mountains and forests, you were terrified all the time for fear of being caught, and when you walked to a place where you would not be caught, you had no experience in trekking in the mountains and forests at all, so you were always startled, and you really couldn't find a good opportunity to tell you. Now that you're finally free, I'll talk to you. Have you forgotten? Or do you want to act as if nothing happened?]

"......" Brunei took out a book and made a few strokes on the crack, "I didn't mean that at the time. ”

"Kill them all, and leave not one behind."] ”。 IMHO, the meaning of this sentence is already very clear. Or whatever, do you want to discuss with me your definition of "them"? Aren't the Gals the bad guys you had in mind at the time?]

Brunei hesitated, carefully put the book back, turned out the needle and thread, and made a gesture on the straw sandals: "Although I did think so at the time...... But I just want revenge. And most of them are innocent. ”

[All are innocent, because Sal is not dead at all.] But we didn't know that at the time, did we? I have no way of knowing who exactly you want to get revenge on, I just do what you want, and I am completely unresponsible. But you don't have to blame yourself too much, it's all just a misunderstanding. 】

[You are not given the right to know the whole truth, and you naturally have the right to misunderstand and anger. 】

Brunei's hand trembled, and the tip of the needle pierced his hand: "Those people are innocent. ”

[Haha, that's right, I thought you would go down the stairs I gave you. Don't you like this kind of anti-social path of secondary two heroes? That's not bad. So, you should understand? It's all your fault. 】

"......" Brunei swallowed, the movements in his hand stopped, and after a few seconds, he smiled very reluctantly, "It's all my fault? ”

[Of course, it's all your fault.] I'm your system, I'm not even alone. If you stab a person to death with a knife, do you still have to forcibly take half of the responsibility for the knife? 】

"Tsk. Brunei's face darkened, he smacked his lips, picked up the things in his hand, put them in his bag with his straw sandals, stood up, said nothing in his heart, identified the direction of the sun that had just appeared, and walked north.

[Hey, little Bruneith, don't you go? Let's talk about your conscience, okay?]

It's not a good idea to step barefoot on the rugged rocks, and the sharp bumps and thorny plants that appear from time to time quickly leave the feet with many scars. At this moment, Brunei sincerely hopes that he can move more in the past and let himself have thick calluses on his feet, but unfortunately he has not changed the strength of the past.

Without taking two steps down, Brunei had no choice but to find a protruding rock platform to stop, hold his breath and let his thoughts float, and find that particular rhythm, the butterfly-like pattern on his chest had a warm current that vibrated with the frequency.

A faint green glow flashed from his feet.

[Treating minor injuries is obviously just a level 0 spell, look at the hard work you use it.] 】

The consumption of level 0 spells is very low, the difficulty of using them is not high, and theoretically you can use them freely as long as you have the magic emblem. That being said, even a level 0 spell is a lot of trouble until you are familiar with the mental frequencies required to use this spell. Looking back now, when he fought with those two gangsters, he obviously didn't use those spells, but he used them as if he was already familiar with them, and he didn't even fail once, which was simply a blessing from God.

[It's Lao Tzu's blessing - forget it, it's not interesting to grab this credit. At that time, your spirit was highly excited and nervous, causing your adrenaline to surge, and your concentration and reaction speed were rewarded with huge buffs at the same time, plus when you were learning these spells and super magic skills in the past, you really put a lot of effort and understanding into it to have that result. 】

"......" Although he has been together for a while, the system still pops up from time to time a few words that Brunei Si can't understand at all, and if he pursues each one, I'm afraid it will be endless, so he ignored them as always, "What the hell do you want to say?"

[It's not a blessing from God. I can tell you plainly that there is no God in this world. 】

Brunei was stunned for a moment and laughed: "That's it, okay, I know." ”

Brunei finally tore the corners of his shirt, filled the gaps in his shoes with blades of grass that had been plucked from the surroundings, and sewed them in with a cloth. He didn't know how much that would work, and he could only think of that way now, anyway.

[Hehe, I knew this, why did I go to the top of the mountain in the first place?]

The topic of the system changed for a while, which made Brunei Si really feel very irritable, and finally after walking a few more steps down the mountain, he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "It's to see the terrain clearly." Don't you know!

[Oh, I'm afraid that you will have a mental breakdown and go crazy for a long time, so I keep talking to you, you-]

"Shut up!"

[Okay, okay, I'll shut up.] Really, the dog bites Lu Dongbin. 】
