The eastern edge of the Endless Mountains is an area rarely set foot by adventurers. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because it is adjacent to the Empire, and the strong territorial consciousness and very serious xenophobic tendencies of the Imperial people make it very difficult for adventurers who operate in the nearby area. In particular, the policy of assigning at least one mage to each village as the village chief actually cut off a huge source of income for many adventurers.

As a result, the adventurers in the neighborhood are sparsely populated and the camps are rather shabby.

"Oh my God, I shouldn't have come to this place. Old Luke sat down in the dusty chair and grumbled loudly, took off his shoes, put the calloused and scarred feet into the barrel, and groaned in comfort, "Whew...... Fortunately, even in this kind of place, there are tools for boiling hot water in the camp. ”

Old Luke shook his head and enjoyed it for a while, and then suddenly stretched out with satisfaction: "Although it is a little depressed, it is still a little better, there are no other little bastards making trouble indiscriminately, and it is much quieter-"

"Bang-" Old Luke had not finished speaking, and before he could put his hand down, the door that had just been closed was violently slammed. Old Luke's face changed, his body was lifted, his right hand grabbed his old fellow, and followed the refined long dagger he had been with for more than ten years, and his left hand was clenched into a fist, and he turned his back to his chest, and the hand painted with the eye pattern was turned back to his chest.

"Ahem, may I ask, anyone?" said a human voice outside the door, proving that the beast outside the door was not the beast that had been expected. But old Luke was not reassured, the people who came were not adventurers, because every adventurer knew that the cabin used as a camp was always closed, and could only be opened by some special mechanism.

This is so that these camps, which serve as temporary resting spots, do not turn into lairs for wild beasts. An adventurer, who had been on the road for several days, and was extremely tired, pushed open the door of the camp, only to find several tigers waiting for him inside, a situation that neither the adventurer wanted to see. And after installing this necessary mechanism, it also derives the function of identifying the visitor.

Old Luke held his breath, listening with his proud ear to every slight sound outside the door.

The sound of a whispered conversation, in which one person's words were choppy. The sound of the planks sliding, did they find the mechanism?

"Squeak-" The door opened, and old Luke's tense nerves relaxed a little, and he still held the dagger in his hand, but his left hand, which was clenched into a fist, was lowered as a sign that he was not hostile. The people outside the door did not come in immediately, and after a while, they saw a tall but somewhat thin man with a blue rag covering his face, helping a man in.

The masked man's exposed hands were quite white, and there was no sign of the magic emblem, and the walking movement was not the way that adventurers who often moved in the mountains and forests were accustomed to hiding themselves as much as possible, and coupled with his thin body, he was undoubtedly not a professional adventurer. Considering his current position, at least not so long ago, he was a citizen of the Empire.

However, the person who was being supported had very developed muscles and muscles, and his whole body looked weather-beaten. Both hands are covered with fingerless gloves, and the wrap on their backs is much larger than that of the masked person. The man, who looked more like an adventurer, had a vague footsteps, bruised wrists, and was a little swollen, presumably poisoned.

It took five seconds for Luke, who was well-informed and experienced in the industry, to judge the situation in front of him, and quickly withdrew his foot from the tub, stood up, and helped the adventurer to the chair on the side. The man's hat fell off his head due to the violent shaking, revealing the scar on the top of his head.

Old Luke didn't react to this, but hurried to the side of the wooden cabinet, and asked, "What is it?"

"Huh?" Brunei didn't react at once, "What's what?"

Old Luke's eyebrows twitched slightly: "What bit him?"

Brunei was a little embarrassed: "Oh, it's a blasting snake." ”

"Burst snake?" old Luke frowned, his eyes looked at his bald wrist, which was a little blackened, "Are you sure?"

This time, Brunei understood what old Luke meant with precision and speed: "I'm sure." I was the one who was attacked. ”

Old Luke's eyes swept around Brunei's body before he saw the same mark in his palm, which made him look up to the masked man with a young voice, and soon, he took out a beautiful glass tube from the wooden cabinet, removed the stopper, replaced it with a needle cap, and hesitated: "How long have you been poisoned?"

"Uh--about-a dozen-no, half an hour. While hesitating, Brunei suddenly heard the system's prompt that he had lost 1 HP, so he determined the time.

"That's fine. Old Luke let out a sigh, grabbed Brunei's hand and looked at it, nodded, and said to him, "Your injuries are not deep, and the signs of poisoning are not serious, so you can use a little less, don't mind?"

"......," Brunei hesitated, "Of course, it's all up to you." ”

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

A tube of serum looks like a lot, and it doesn't feel like it's really used, three times five divided by two, and the bald head and Brunei have divided the whole tube. Old Luke injected most of the bald head first, and then injected the rest of the brain into Brunei's body.

Although the system published [Tut-tut, use the same needle to inject, be careful to get AIDS ah teenager. In short, a few minutes later, Brunei heard a prompt that the system's poisoning status had been lifted.

The bald head was still groggily slumped in his chair, and it seemed that he had indeed been poisoned much more deeply than Brunei's. Brunei wanted to show him something, but after thinking about it for a long time, he just went to pick up his hat and pressed it on his bald head.

By this time old Luke had sat back in his place, soaked his feet in the bucket again, and after making a comment on the temperature of the water, mixed with unclean words, he took a cup and held it up to Brunei, "Do you want to drink?"

Seeing the hot water in the cup, Brunei Darussalam, who had been chatting with the bald head all night and walking for half a day, suddenly felt thirsty, thanked him, picked up the cup, and drank a few sips carefully.

"......" Old Luke smiled as he watched Brunei lift the rag that served as a mask and drink water, until he saw that Brunei finally didn't feel thirsty, and then asked again, "Tell me, what's the situation?"

"What are you asking?" Brunei drank the hot water that he had not seen for a long time, and felt that his whole body had become warmer, and he naturally had a very good impression of Old Luke, who had been very enthusiastic about helping them since just now, and his attitude towards his speech unconsciously became polite.

Old Luke nodded meaninglessly, as if it were his habit of speaking: "Your wounds, do you need to talk about it?"

"Oooh. Only then did Brunei react, he also found a chair and sat down, and then explained the whole process of their encounter with the explosive snake in great detail, and finally asked very humbly, "There are many places in this, I have never figured it out." You are always well-informed, can you give me an analysis?"

Brunei's level of sycophants is really pitiful, but fortunately, a low-level adventurer like old Luke didn't have much chance to listen to others' praise, even if it was Brunei's extremely explicit words, he felt very useful.

Old Luke nodded proudly and slowly, thought for a while, and said slowly: "According to what you say, this male snake is indeed very unusual. Not to mention a beginner like you, even if you change to a more experienced person, you can't handle it better than you. ”

"This male snake is very unusual?" Brunei listened to old Luke's praise, and his heart was also very happy, so he continued to ask.

"That's right. Take people as an analogy, this male snake is the genius of snakes. Old Luke looked like a bald head, and he would be very proud when he imparted knowledge to others, or bragged about his experience, "Master Vaal, you know what?"

It is said that even the continent where the Holy See is located today was controlled by that master at the beginning, and such a figure is naturally an enduring topic in the legends of the world. And the official of the Empire, in the field of propaganda, will also say that the Empire is the orthodoxy left by the Vaal Master.

Brunei, who grew up in such an atmosphere, naturally gave an unhesitating answer to this question like most children who grew up in the empire: "Of course, Master Vaal is the person I admire the most, and I have hoped since I was a child that I can become a great mage like Master Vaal in the future!"

Old Luke still looked like the old god was smiling, but the system reacted violently to Bruneith's words: "Val? haha, great mage, the person you admire the most?" hahaha-, but do you want to be a great mage like 'Vaal Master'? This is--well, trust me, you'll be 'Vaal Master'. Hahaha. 】

Although the system's words were still incomprehensible, the contempt and disdain for Master Vaal contained in them was extremely clear from their tone alone. This made Brunei feel a little dissatisfied, but now was not a good time to quarrel with the system, and his dissatisfaction was not shown on his face.

Old Luke's attitude was much kinder, and he nodded: "Very great ideal, very good." Then you must also know that Vaal was born with spiritual powers far beyond ordinary people? This was the so-called genius of that time - unlike the geniuses who now draw the magic emblem, that kind of genius is a real genius. ”
