[Thirty-eighth task, for some time now, you have been taken care of by the man who claims to be bald, and you are grateful but unable to repay it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Therefore, you want to be able to do at least a little insignificant thing, maybe not even to help him lighten the burden, but at least to express your gratitude. While thinking so, you see a couple of fish in the river. 】

Brunei was naked, carefully carrying a package that was a little more bulging than usual, and cautiously waded through the water along the same place where his bald head had walked before. The raging river was now submerging his knees, but he knew that if he hadn't stepped on the raised stones, his whole body would be buried under the water and washed away, which would be the inevitable fate of his already poor physical fitness.

Listening to the system's words, his eyes unconsciously looked down, the water was flowing very fast, and there was a small waterfall formed by a low drop next to it, and the tumbling bubbles made the water under him look like flowing milk. This was one of the reasons why he had to follow the bald head in the same way, and he almost laughed at his own stupidity.

If it weren't for the fact that a few dark shadows suddenly passed through his crotch and something slippery hit his legs.

The muscles in his face twitched uncontrollably.

[So, you suddenly think, why don't you make a grilled fish for the bald head? After eating meat and all kinds of weeds for so long, you feel a little bored. The bald head will be happy to be able to change the taste, right?】

[The quest "Catch and make grilled fish" has been triggered.] 】

Brunei walked forward indifferently. After a while, as if he remembered something, he suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly to the bald head who was turning back not far ahead, "We may have to go faster!

The bald man's face was a little puzzled, the pentagram on the back of his left hand flashed a dark yellow light, and his eyes became sharper under the influence of magic to look upstream of the river, and then, he cursed in a low voice: "Hell, what's going on?"

They were not able to cross the wide river before the arrival of the black oppression, and the young fry of the newborn fish followed the summer water to a larger river that was more suitable for their future survival, and some of them might go down the river to the sea in the future. After five years, the still alive part of them returns to the place where their ancestors have mated and laid eggs for generations, giving birth to new life, and sacrificing themselves for it.

Therefore, now they are not blocked by anything.

It was already a few dozen minutes before the naked two went ashore. The exhausted two lay on their backs on the grass on the riverbank, their upper bodies shimmering golden in the sun's rays, while their lower bodies shone with colorful colors.

"Ah,. Brunei sat up and touched his thighs gently, his face turned blue with the slippery and greasy touch, and the sudden swelling of the river and the blackened fish appeared in front of him again, making him feel that he would not want to eat fish again for a short time.

【...... You've given up on the mission? You've given up on the mission again? I said, little Brunei, what's the matter with you! It's already the thirty-eighth mission! And this mission is so simple! I'm just going to put everything you need right under your nose! All you have to do is bend over! Don't you even want to do this!]

The corners of Brunei's mouth twitched slightly, and finally answered to the system in his heart: "You sent it?"

[Huh, huh...... What, look at the other protagonists, ah? Which one doesn't talk and laugh with his own system? Which one doesn't run to life and death when he receives a task, and gets involved in a huge whirlpool of events? Why is it so difficult for me to communicate with you? Who said that we are grasshoppers tied to a rope?

Brunei raised his eyebrows and sneered in his heart: "If I'm not mistaken, when I said this, it seems that you played it out?

[uh...... Although you said that I was playing tricks on you, we reasoned, and none of what I said at that time was false, at best, you were infected by my exaggerated tone. Can you call this a lie?"

"Isn't that called?" Brunei rolled his eyes, pulled out a cloth and began to wipe his body.

Once again, the ...... system fell silent.

Ever since the system was inspired by Brunei Darussalam to think of this thing called "Quest" that day, it has never shouted words like "boring", but has been in the same excitement as Brunei Si did when he first picked up the drop of blood, and has kept saying things that people can't understand.

But Brunei now is very different from Brunei at that time. At that time, he just thought that the system was noisy and irritable, but now he thinks that such a self-talking system is a little funny, at least much cuter than when every sentence of it hides evil intentions.

It didn't take much thought, and Brunei easily judged that the common denominator between this moment and then was that the system was obsessed with the meaning of a particular word, which was "golden finger" then, and now "task system". For some reason, these two words seem to have a rich and complex meaning, enough to make the system try different things over and over again.

Maybe it's better to keep the system in this way? Not only Brunei, but the system itself is also in high spirits at this time.

Thinking of this, Brunei breathed a sigh of relief and made up his mind. In order to avoid the system being hit by giving up this "task system" because he didn't cooperate, he decided to give some advice: "I said, system?"

[Well, what's wrong?] Although the system took the initiative to terminate the conversation just now, it now responded as if nothing had happened, and as always, it responded in a frivolous and inaudible voice.

This made Brunei think it was too stupid to worry about the system.

In any case, since we have already started, it is better to continue: "You said that when you receive a mission, you will be born and die-although I don't really understand your other descriptions, but this is impossible, right? Unless the mind is completely controlled, there is no situation where people can obey orders unconditionally without any conditions, right?"

The ...... system fell silent suddenly. This is almost impossible when Brunei is not arguing with the system, which makes Brunei feel a little uneasy, worried that he may have said something wrong.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the system to be as excited as before, and it exclaimed in his head: "Yes, how did I forget this stubble! Sure enough, after being mixed with these indigenous monkeys for too long, my memory has also declined! Little Brunei! You are a genius with an intelligence of up to 90! You are so smart and enthusiastic! You are so cute!]

The sudden explosion of the system made Brunei's head dizzy, especially when most of its words were still difficult for Bruneisi to understand. Brunei Si, who almost threw the cloth in his hand out with a shake of his hand, really understood only the praise and praise of the last few words of the system, which became more and more wrong the more he listened. However, the system rarely praises others except for the yin and yang weird ridicule, and Brunei Siquan will not praise others as the system, and take these as good words, and his face will be a little red.

"Bruneisi, are you okay, are you a little feverish?" "The bald head who had already finished cleaning up his body had already been cleaned up, and the bald head who had put on his clothes again bent down with concern, and stretched his hand towards Brunei's forehead, "Now that we are close to the border, there is a huge gap in front of the Endless Mountains, and the terrain is much smoother, and the Empire's deployment here is much tighter, and the next camp can be quite far away." If you can't hold on, let's just set up a tent nearby and make a makeshift camp. ”

Brunei recalled the map he had seen in the previous camp, where the undulating edges of the endless mountains were indeed abruptly recessed in the northwestern frontier of the Empire, and the truly gentle mountain passes were further north, and neither the Empire nor the Commonwealth theoretically bordered directly on them.

Perhaps for this reason, the small triangles that marked the Imperial outposts were more dense on the map than ever before, while the stars representing the location of the camps were much more sparse, far from following the correct route, with an average density of one or two per day.

In other words, however, the narrow mountain pass and the large circular plain surrounded by mountains were the kind of neutral zone that Brunei had conceived of for Sal before his departure, between the Empire and the Commonwealth. It may not quite be enough for Bruneith, but out of the Empire, Brunei could walk through the human settlements and find a safe area that would really meet his requirements - that is, be controlled deeper by the Federation and not allow the Empire to interfere.

In other words, the destination, before you know it, is already close at hand!

Because of the bald head's words, Bruneisi, who really thought about it for the first time and realized this, couldn't help but perk up, and a smile appeared on his face, which had always been irritable and depressed, and he shook his head at the bald head: "No, I'm fine." It's just--a little distracted. ”

"Why are you blushing? And you're a little hot. "The bald head is still not at ease.

"This—" Brunei looked up, almost entirely subconsciously, and blurted out the lie, "hot." ”

The bald head also looked up along his line of sight. Before you know it, it's the height of summer, and the noon sun casts a white light that can't be seen directly to every part of the world, which is certainly very poetic, and it is not too much to describe it as cool and spicy.

The bald head nodded, pressed his straw hat to Brunei's damp hair coaxed by the sun to make a hot head, and scolded with a smile: "Then why don't you hurry up and put on your clothes to block it?

"Huh, what do you know? I'm called the delicate skin of a nobleman. Brunei laughed too.

[Ahem, this time it's official, huh?
