Waterfalls, wooden houses, small lake.

Rosy red hair, rosy red lips, and a tight-fitting hunting suit like a flame.

A beautiful girl who exudes wild and sensual all over her body, like a burning rose, rides a pure black horse in the shade of the green trees, her riding skills are exquisite and the body is toned, and one person and one horse are like swimming dragons.

At this time, the handsome but well-proportioned golden short-haired half-elf boy had just walked out of the lake step by step with two swords in hand, looking at the beauty and horse in front of him, but it was full of divine beasts galloping.

"You found me hiding here, Rosa sold me to you?" went ashore, stabbed two wooden swords into the dirt, Zhu Peng walked into the wooden house, picked up a dry towel to wipe his body, and then covered himself in a comfortable robe.

"Since I was eight years old, as long as a man sees me like a dog sees a bone, why do you still bother me?" The red-haired and snow-skinned beauty dismounted sideways, looking angry and unhappy.

"Those men want to get your people, and you want me to help you, and there is a difference between supply and demand. ”

The girl in front of Zhu Peng is called Emiya, the pearl of a baron in Frostleaf City, because he wants to concentrate on cultivation, so Zhu Peng temporarily sent his sister Rosa to Mrs. Cardena's residence to study aristocratic education. This old lady is the widow of an earl, and after coming to Frostleaf City to settle down, she only taught some noble ladies out of boredom, and there are almost no people in the entire north who dare to anger this old lady.

Zhu Peng plans to let Rosa grow up first, and then let her decide by herself whether to become a professional or a pampered aristocratic lady in the future, anyway, because the half-elf bloodline Rosa has a long lifespan, she can think slowly, before that, it was also good to learn some literature, etiquette, musical instruments, history and even swordsmanship and other miscellaneous knowledge from Mrs. Cardena, she didn't have such an opportunity when she was young.

Only after a person has a certain understanding of the world can he define his future more accurately.

When sending Rosa to Mrs. Cardena's boarding, the brother and sister met Emiya by chance, at that time, this hot beauty was being entangled, and inexplicably implicated Zhu Peng and Rosa, who did not have the title of Frost Leaf City, Zhu Peng was somewhat worried that Rosa would be bullied, of course he couldn't be coaxed at this moment.

When Zhu Peng drew his sword and put down several gentlemen who were pestering Emiya, the daughter of the baron in front of him became entangled.

In this world, powerful high-level professionals have a very high social status, somewhat similar to the soldiers of Zhu Peng's era, who endure hardships, difficulties, risks and prospects at the same time.

Zhu Peng overthrew several nobles and wealthy merchants of Frost Leaf City with several swords, clean and neat, and the power of the ruthless swordsman was terrifying enough, which naturally made most people misjudge his strength.

In other words, momentum is also a kind of strength, Zhu Peng's elite spy shadow and half-step demigod are really strong enough, plus he didn't really hurt people, so even those few gentlemen didn't dare to come to find trouble.

Of course, on the other hand, the reason is also that Zhu Peng's whereabouts are secretive, and Rosa is quite favored by Mrs. Cardena, and it is difficult for them to find trouble.

"It's so hard to practice swords, you're hungry, aren't you? I specially stewed beef brisket and your favorite pine cone bread, eat it while it's hot. As she spoke, Emia took a food box from her horseback and took it into the cabin, and when she opened the lid, the aroma of the beef broth overflowed, and she was indeed in thought.

"Amiya, I have my own things to do, it's impossible for me to go to the south to help you find your father's whereabouts, it's already a waste for you to continue to invest in me for half a year, it's better to think differently. If you'd pay a price to hire a mercenary, you'd probably have found your father in the South by now. Facing the girl's smiling courtesy, Zhu Peng stared at her silently for a moment, sighed lightly and then said.

The Sil family, the surname of the red-haired girl in front of her, is also a long-standing nobleman in Frostleaf City, and it is said that his grandfather's generation has made great contributions to Frostleaf City, so the status of the baron has been honored from generation to generation.

But what the nobility needs to have is not only honor and past glory, but also daily expenses, a luxurious life, necessary social interactions, unless one of the main members of the family is in the army, or a large tax to Frostleaf City every year to maintain their title.

Amiya's grandfather's generation is a strong professional, of course, these are no problem, but the next generation doesn't want to live like that anymore, and because of the lack of talent, Amiya's father became a businessman, although the big nobles often disdain business, but the middle and lower nobles are simply not enough to maintain their squandering expenses to match the title with their meager land, so the south and the north are nobles on the surface, and in fact, it is a common phenomenon to do some merchant trading.

The aristocracy has privileges, channels, and knowledge, and they are of course more likely to achieve commercial success than ordinary people, but they are also risky, and Emiya's father, Baron Rosa, is in the north because of a big deal, and now there is no one alive or dead, and the news that comes back is not very good.

Emiya is not the type who can't close her legs when she sees a handsome guy, although Zhu Peng's initial charm at 17 points is high, but the aristocratic teenagers and bards in Frost Leaf City are not completely incomparable, the reason why she has invested a lot of effort in Zhu Peng in the past six months is actually to let the other party take her to the south to explore her father's whereabouts.

After Zhu Peng found out the situation, he knew this in his heart, so although he was cold to Amiya, he did not directly drive away, after all, she was a filial and pitiful girl, and Rosa also liked her very much, and she still had some sympathy for her own suffering...... But I really don't have the time to go to the south with you, this world is about to collapse, when the sky is torn apart and the earth burns, I don't know how many people will be more pitiful than you and worse than you, and most of the living beings will perish in the flames of civilization war.

Compared to such cruelty, personal joy, anger and pain are too small.

"Go to the tavern and hire a team of miscellaneous mercenaries, and then go out of town and wait for them to drag me into the trees and turn me around? It doesn't matter if they take me to my father afterwards, but I'm afraid I'll end up with a slashed face and sold to some village brothel in some village. Is this the advice you gave me?" There were some crystal tears flashing in the bright eyes of the red-haired girl in front of her, and the pressure accumulated in her heart during this time, flattering a man who ignored her love, seemed to force her to the edge of some kind of limit.

"As far as I know, Baron Rosa has amassed a lot of wealth over the years, your mother ......"

"Don't mention that old bitch to me, my dad was going to climb into another man's bed right away. Have you ever heard of any mother who would put a flattery on her daughter's diet in order to keep her wealth? If it weren't for Li'er, who I grew up with, to remind me, I would have been licking that fat pig's ass with that old bitch by now!"

“...... Not to mention that I can't get the money now, even if I can get enough money, go to the adventurer's guild to register for the mission according to the most formal procedures, and after leaving the city, I will only be plundered back. Screaming and crying, Emiya at this moment is no longer so elegant and beautiful, but more sad and real. Perhaps for her, the moment she found out that her mother had drugged her, the world had collapsed.

(Fat pig?Can you force Emiya to this fat man...... Lord of Frostleaf City, Modo. No wonder she must find an outsider who is not a local, if it weren't for the dead fat pig who is more willing to use his power to force the prey into a corner, so that the other party "willingly" obeys her, he would have succeeded a long time ago. It's a question, but it's an affirmative answer.

For an old nobleman like the Frost Leaf City Lord Modo, he has already played with his beautiful body too much, so his psychology has become a little weird, just like a dessert before a rich meal, Amiya's pain and torture at this time are probably all spices before he indulges in it.

"I sympathize with you very much, but even if I take you away from here, where can you flee to the world? Such beauty is both a blessing and a curse for a girl, and there is not enough strength to keep encountering similar things wherever you flee. "The only thing in the entire Frost Leaf City that can make the city lord Modo have scruples and dare not act rashly is probably the only lady Cardena with a deep background, but Mrs. Cardena is obviously too lazy to take care of this matter, and before Zhu Peng arrived, Emiya did not make any efforts, but only after failure did she change her mind and want to escape.

Wiping away the tears on her cheeks, Emiya looked deeply at Zhu Peng, who was still indifferent, and she gritted her teeth and turned to walk out.

Zhu Peng also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, his plan was to go to the Elven Forest in the east to hunt the green dragon, if he could succeed, he could transform into a dragon vein warlock through the dragon blood ritual, and his own professional advancement template would become: Blood Devouring Priest Level 12 / Blood Blade Hunter Level 1 / Dragon Vein Warlock Level 1.

It's not that Zhu Peng has any special preference for dragon veins, but among the bloodlines with the highest compatibility, the most powerful, and the highest growth in the Heavenly World, the dragon bloodlines are all ranked in the top of it.

Some time ago, I overturned a litter of kobolds, among which there were kobold warlocks who activated the blood of the red dragon, not to mention the super high difficulty of extracting the extremely thin dragon vein bloodline, just the rejection reaction of the red dragon's blood and his own wood elf bloodline, Zhu Peng couldn't accept it.

On the contrary, after hunting the green dragon, the profession is advanced to a third-order dragon vein warlock, and after such a template attribute grows to a high level, even with the weaker gods who have fallen into the world, you can fight to the death.

If the fourth order can successfully advance to the dragon vein feudal monarch, Zhu Peng is sure to slaughter most of the gods who have fallen into the world, except for the goddess of the earth, the lord of light, the goddess of magic and other powerful divine powers, no one can escape under the fangs and sharp teeth of the dragon vein monarch. Of course, the difficulty of this profession is also ridiculously high.

Zhu Peng thought that Emiya had left, so he was in the wooden house to think about his future career advancement plan, but after the red-haired aristocratic girl went out for a spin, she took two things off the horse's back, and after hesitating for a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind, and then Emiya returned to the cold-blooded half-elf wooden house.

"Uh...... Do you have anything else?"

"Since you like to talk about interests, then I have to talk to you about interests, you are also an adventurer, right? I will hire you with everything I have. With that, Emiya put down the wooden box and leather bag she was holding in her arms and placed them in front of the man opposite.

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

"My grandfather used to be a ranger with a powerful squad of adventurers, and in this wooden box was his beloved magic bow 'Thunder', which was also an heirloom of our family, and my father passed it directly to me, and the woman didn't even know it existed. ”

"There's a treasure map in this bag, it wasn't originally a treasure map, but I think it is. The wizard of that adventurer team was a high-level wizard at the peak of the second order, he was the richest person in the team, he established an extremely hidden laboratory near Frostleaf City, and also collected many precious materials to advance to the legendary ......"

As Emiya's words spoke, Zhu Peng opened the wooden box in front of him, and then took out a simple strong bow made of countless unknown beast tendons, Zhu Peng stood up straight and pulled left and right, and faintly felt a sense of calling coming from the magic bow:

Item Type: Enchanted Bow Thunder

Item Level: [Second Order Enchanted Equipment]

Item Description: This is an ancient war bow with a certain history, which is reinforced by the main body of a century-old giant tree and the tendons that bind the thunder beast, allowing the bow wielder to shoot more arrows with less force consumption, and attached to the magic of thunder.

It's a powerful ancient warbow that is now calling you back to the hunting grounds.

Equipment Requirements: None.

Weapon Effect: Electric Arrow, Burst Fire.

Hidden Enchantment Trigger Requirements: Focus perk pre-prime.

Weapon Effect: Strongbow, 5% chance to trigger Thunder Binding.

"You mean to say that your grandfather's wizard teammate is dead, and now you're basically the only one who knows about this treasure cave...... A second-order pinnacle wizard used to break through legendary resources. While playing with the Thunder Battle Bow, Zhu Peng was also quickly weighing the pros and cons of the whole thing and the benefits.

He is not afraid to anger the so-called Frost Leaf City Lord, just a plane native, from the perspective of a spy wizard, a pig-like thing, a little time to develop, turn his head and kill it, the only thing that affects Zhu Peng's decision is whether this transaction is worth it.

Judging from the enchanted longbow "Thunder" in his hand, the words spoken by the other party have seventy or eighty percent credibility.

"I can help you explore the wizard's last laboratory and reap the benefits, but I won't take you to the south to find your father, after the deed is done, I will take you to Jinhe City, where the Modo forces can't reach and the Spirit Snake Cult is prevalent, you can cover your face with a veil, register for a guild mission there and then go to the south to find your father, the safety factor will be much higher." ”

"I'll be fine if I'm three and you're seven, and I'm afraid that I'll take too much and be killed by you afterwards. Amiya said this, obviously still angry, and Zhu Peng was noncommittal.

"There's one thing that needs to be taken care of before we go. Zhu Peng suddenly stood up and walked in front of the red-haired young hair, he stretched out his finger to reach for Emiya's neckline, such a light gesture made the girl's pale cheeks red.

However, before Emiya could react substantially, Zhu Peng's palms and two fingers suddenly reached forward and took off a black crystal-like button at the neckline of the girl's blouse.

"This is ......"

"Spell Positioning Device, it seems that our City Lord has secretly raised one or two wizards, as long as it is on you, you will never really have a chance to escape from Frostleaf City's sphere of influence. Is it a bad taste to play with her prey until she's exhausted? Sneering and shaking his head, Zhu Peng threw the button back to Emiya.

"Deal with it when you go back to the city, put it on a suitable person, I will meet you at the Xicheng stable when the moon sets tonight, don't bring too many things, if what you said about the treasure cave is true, then as long as the exploration is successful, you should not be short of money for the rest of your life." By the way, why doesn't your father, Baron Rosa, explore here?"

"This treasure cave was found in my grandfather's diary, not to mention that my grandfather died of a recurrence of an old illness in his later years, and my father had no interest in adventures or ruins. If it weren't for what happened in the past six months, the secrets of this treasure cave would have only been told to my grandson as a story in my old age. ”

“...... Well, be careful. "Leave the ancient bow and thunder behind, but return the leather bag to Amiya.

Although legendary professionals can obtain a lifespan and power far longer than mortals through various methods, in the world of gods, these things may not be valued by mortals, because as long as they sincerely believe in the gods, mortals can live in the gods for a long time after death, this is not a lie of the gods, but really a promise, because people's perception of high-level professionals and adventurers is really very complicated, some envy, some awe, but some avoid.

Unless the nobles are the top nobles, the probability of a high-level professional is very low, even if it is a middle-class or rich peasant, they are more willing to send their children to the temple than to train them to be a professional and adventurer who licks blood.

On the contrary, the probability of adventurers appearing among the poor, declining nobles, and bankrupts is extremely high, and a large number of adventurers are often not low in the end of their careers as long as they are not disabled or die in their careers after being baptized and polished by various tasks.

Therefore, Emiya's explanation is very reasonable, if she is not cornered, she will not explore the last laboratory of her grandfather teammate, even civilians know that wizards' laboratories are full of dangers, and the more high-level and powerful wizards, the more so.
