For Ripples, stealing has long been a habit, but lately, it has become a little strange.

Ripple has no father or mother, and a homeless man raises Ripple from a baby to a child. When she was a child, Ripples found that there was a strange pattern on her left shoulder, and she would always scrub it a few times when she took a bath, and the pattern was like a birthmark, no matter how hard the ripples worked, they couldn't get rid of it, and many times they made their shoulders red by mistake.

The homeless man naturally knew about it, and told her not to let others find out, and the ripples silently recorded it in the luggage.

The homeless man sees Ripple as his own daughter. Although life was hard, he still gave the best of himself to Ripples. That is, the homeless man is wearing tatters, and the clothes on the ripples don't even have a patch.

Such days did not last long, and when Ripple was eight years old, the homeless man unfortunately died.

After a long cry, Ripple accepts reality and begins to live alone.

It's not easy for an eight-year-old to survive. But fortunately, the local villagers were very kind, and although they had a hard time in those years, they barely survived. At the same time, Ripple also made a group of friends who were about the same age as herself. Ripple has had a beautiful face since she was a child, and even without the decoration of beautiful clothes, Ripple still overshadows her peers.

When Ripple was ten years old, an accident completely ruined her life.

It was a drunken hooligan who had bad intentions in the face of ten-year-old ripples. Ripple and his friends want to resist, but they are just children, not the opponent of the hooligan at all. People who can do this will naturally not sympathize with the child, and several of Ripple's friends are knocked to the ground, and the hooligan carries Ripple to a remote place.

Ripple used his hands and feet together, struggling hard, and Ripple's little arms and calves hit him really didn't hurt or itch. At the same time, Ripple also noticed something unusual, and her left shoulder began to heat up, and the temperature was getting higher and higher.

The scoundrel led Ripple into a dark room, and with light words on his lips, he reached out to undress her. At this time, the heat of Ripple's left shoulder was already unbearable for her. Before the rascal, Ripple forcefully ripped off the clothes on his left shoulder.

For a moment, the ripple pattern on the left shoulder shimmered.

After the light dissipated, one by one tall giant beasts stood in the room, the hooligans only had the color heart, no courage, and only dared to do this evil thing after drinking, how could they not be afraid when facing this kind of monster. After the hooligans fled in a hurry, Ripple's friends also came with the townspeople, but instead of seeing the hooligans, they saw Ripple on his left shoulder and the monster.

After this incident, not all people rejected Ripples, and only a small number of people began to spread the words of the demon girl. This is a world with magical powers, and naturally there is such a profession as a summoner, but Ripple is only a ten-year-old child, and there is no summoner who will engrave his magic circle on his body.

As time went on, more and more people began to repel Ripples. The friends around her couldn't meet Ripple again because of their families, and some even took the lead in bullying her.

Without the help of the villagers, Ripple's life became a big problem.

Eventually, Ripples left the town.

Ripples traveled to many villages, and she slowly understood that people's hearts are sinister. Although she is only a child, many people with bad intentions have taken a fancy to her beautiful face. If it weren't for the fact that the monster would always appear when it was needed, the consequences would be unimaginable. At first, Ripple was also afraid of the monster, and even thought it was the culprit for the way he was now. This can't be blamed on Ripples, she's just a child at this time.

The monster helps Ripple resolve the danger again and again, but every time the monster appears, Ripple will lose his ability to move and collapse to the ground. It was at this time that Ripple was surprised to discover that the monster knew what she was thinking and would do something according to Ripple's command. If Ripple concentrates, Ripple can see what monsters can see.

Ripple named the monster Chubby because it looked fleshy. Chubby looks fierce, but in fact he is very gentle. Whenever he is lonely and lonely, Ripples will summon Chubby, although Ripples can't move, but just lying on Chubby's body, Ripples will feel that he is not alone.

In order to survive, Ripple begins to steal and quickly grasps the doorway. At the same time, she also found that many men had no resistance to her beauty, so she simply used this to seek convenience for herself. If the development of things is out of control, there is still Chubby by his side, and Ripple is not very panicked.

The ripples slowly grew up, and the fat also grew. In the first time, Ripple made a few more friends, and beautiful people will not be left out in the cold. However, an accident still made them see Chubby. And then there is the familiar plot, and even the people of the kingdom are introduced. Ripple was helpless and left that place overnight.

This incident deepened the haze in Ripples' hearts.

She is no longer sincere to others and hides her true information. Wandering, occasionally hating the difference of fate and the indifference of people's hearts. Until an old wizard appeared and changed the direction of Ripples' fate.

It was a down-and-out old wizard, and some people would believe it if he said he was a vagabond. Normally, Ripples don't help others, but it's the old wizard's somewhat homeless appearance that gives Ripples pity. The person who has always been really good to her is afraid of the homeless man after her.

Ripple didn't do anything particularly remarkable, just shared the little dilapidated house she found with the old wizard.

The next morning, the old wizard was leaving, and when he went out, he left this sentence for Ripples.

"Your secrets and doubts will be answered on the Cape of the Sea. ”

The old wizard had been talking all night, but in the morning he suddenly said this, and Ripples felt a little inexplicable. Seeing the ripples puzzled, the old wizard didn't say anything, just patted his left shoulder. Ripple suddenly realized, and was about to ask something, but the old wizard was nowhere to be found.

The news left Ripples a little overwhelmed.

Over the years, this circle has been something that ripples can't let go. Although she likes Chubby very much, this magic circle and Chubby have indeed had an impact on her life, so she especially wants to know what secrets the magic circle on her body contains, but no matter what way she goes, she has not gotten the slightest bit of information.

Surprisingly, the old wizard would know about Ripple's troubles, and he seemed to show Ripple a way. After that, Ripple asked a lot of people about the Cape of the Sea. The more I feel that this island is mysterious. One of them also mentioned that there is a forest on the Cape of the Sea, which is very strange, and there seems to be some big secret on the other side of the forest.

I don't know why, maybe it's a guide, Ripple felt that the answer she wanted was behind the forest, and she didn't think much about it, and set off for the Cape of the Sea.

After several twists and turns, Ripples finally arrived at the Cape of the Sea, and the first time because of insufficient preparation, the plan died before it began. The second time, she brought the three Jiao family brothers, and at the same time, it also gave her new ideas about her future life.

That man, he was not afraid of Chubby and himself.

When Canglan hugged her, Ripples thought so. Accustomed to the strange eyes of others, she was still a little uncomfortable in the face of this situation. At this moment, she had the idea that she wanted to stay with this man. She hadn't forgotten the purpose of her trip, but it seemed to be important.

Anyway, the Shadow Forest can't break through now, and even if it does, it may not have the answer you want. The old wizard only said that the answer was on the Cape of the Sea, and the Shadow Forest was just her guess, maybe the old wizard was lying to herself, maybe this man was the answer she was looking for.

Thinking of this, Ripples turned a little blushing.

After getting along with Canglan for a while, she found that Canglan was also a miserable person, who didn't seem to care about anything, but she hid a lot of things in her heart, especially after the incident in Wangcheng, some deep-rooted things in Canglan's heart seemed to collapse all of a sudden, and Ripple wanted to comfort him, but she had always lived alone, where would she know how to comfort others.

————————

After leaving the royal city, Ripple and Canglan first passed through Tucker City, and then continued towards Sunset Town.

Luoyang Town is an ordinary town, and there is not much difference between what Ripples has encountered. It's just because of the relationship between Mingyue Valley that there are many caravans that usually come and go, and there are many travelers, so they are more prosperous. But Ripples knows that no matter what the surface looks like, once it is lifted, it is no different.

Canglan and Ripple quickly found a hotel, but Luoyang Town was still some distance from Mingyue Valley, so Canglan decided to inquire about the information first.

"It's finally here!" Ripple sat on the bed and stretched, the bumps in the car were really uncomfortable.

"Which bed do you want?" Along the way, Canglan had little money left, so he only booked one room when he booked a hotel.

"Why don't we sleep in the same bed?"

Canglan is no longer strange now, and not taking ripples at this time is the best way.

"Let's rest for a while, it's still early, and we'll go around and see if there's any information. ”

When he was on the way, Canglan had already told Ripples the reason for coming to Mingyue Valley. Bright Moon Valley, just listening to the name, you know that this place has something to do with the moon, so Ripple thought at first that Canglan was looking for the kind of material called Moon Xuan. But Canglan told her this: "Yuexuan can theoretically be obtained anywhere, and there is no such thing as a place of origin. Moon Xuan is an ordinary ore that absorbs the magic of moonlight for a long time, and it can be met without asking for it. Although it is called Myeongwolk Valley, there is no record of Wolhyun found here. The ore to be found this time is water rock, there is a bright moon stream here, and water rock can be found in the stream. ”

After resting for more than half an hour, Canglan and Ripple left the hotel, asked passers-by, and found the location of the hunting camp.

The hunting camp is actually an organization in the kingdom that is used to issue bounty quests, and it is also a good place to exchange information.

When I came to the hunting camp, I was greeted by a row of wanted notices. There are bandits, bandits, beasts, and high bounties. On one side of the wanted poster is a row of portraits with the names of some people written on them, which is used to record the adventurers who have recently completed more bounties, presumably as an incentive.

Canglan just took a brief look, and the purpose of his trip was not this. But before Canglan could talk to others, a young man walked over.

"I'm here to find Shui Yan, right? Let me tell you, everyone who comes here is looking for Shui Yan, who called this Yao Ling Festival need? ”

Canglan just wanted to speak, but the man didn't give him a chance, "I happen to have a piece here now, although I also need it, but I can't bear to see you go to Mingyue Valley to die, after all, not everyone can go there." I'll be a good guy once, and sell it to you for 3,000 kuluns, which is not expensive, and the market starts at 5,000, but who told me to be soft-hearted?"

Looking at Canglan's overwhelmed appearance, Ripple couldn't help laughing.

"For the sake of this beauty's smile, I'll give you another five hundred. Five hundred cullens buy a beauty with a smile, it's worth it. The man began to speak, and his hands danced.

Canglan naturally won't buy it.

First of all, Canglan didn't think about the idea of buying materials, unless it was really too late. Secondly, he also has no money now.

"Sorry, I don't. Canglan still smiled politely and prepared to leave.

"Oh, don't, the price is easy to say, I won't say two thousand, one thousand and five. The man directly grabbed Canglan's arm, and at this time, an uncle came over and grabbed the man directly and pulled him out.

"Get me out!"

"Captain Kraft, why are you driving me away when I'm doing business!"

"If you don't walk again, you'll break your legs. ”

The uncle pulled the young man to the door and pushed him out, "Don't let me see you." ”

After driving away the businessman, the uncle walked to Canglan's side, "That person was a liar just now, and he came here all day to sell fakes and deceive people. ”

"Captain Kraft. That's what the man called just now, and Canglan simply called it that, "I want to go to Mingyue Valley, but this map is too simple." ”

"We have a good map here, but it's not very detailed, because it's still dangerous. "If you're only on the periphery of Moonlight Valley, this map should be pretty much the same. If you go deeper, you may need someone to lead you. However, although there are many hunters in this vicinity, there are only a few who enter and leave Mingyue Valley, and the price is not cheap, but the one who dies is also worth the price. ”

If it weren't necessary, Canglan wouldn't have entered the interior of Bright Moon Valley.

Like other treacherous places on the continent, the Bright Moon Valley that the world sees is only a small part, and the unknown part is as frightening as the word unknown.

Captain Kraft didn't say anything more, he had other things to do. Canglan came to the place where he bought the maps, these maps were quite detailed, but only half of them, and the other half was just a few simple sketches. At the same time, the map marks some places where the beasts are active, as well as the characteristics of the beasts, which is generally quite cost-effective.

"And we'll leave tomorrow?" Ripple asked.

"Okay, it may take another day or two to get to Bright Moon Valley. ”

The two returned to the hotel, each lying in his own bed. Canglan always felt that this feeling was very strange, although it was not the first time that two people slept in the same room, but this time the atmosphere was obviously different.

"What are you thinking?" Ripple asked.

"Didn't think about anything. ”

"Then you miss me. ”

"Do you still need to think about it? Are you just on the side?" Canglan felt that something was wrong as soon as he said it, and he didn't say anything more.

"You're not going to do anything strange to me at night, are you?"

"It's not the first time we've spent the night together. "Although Canglan didn't have any contact with the outside world before, he still knew a little about men and women. Ripple was so explicit this time, he didn't expect it.

"If you ask me, I might agree. ”

"I'm going out for a walk. Canglan couldn't stand it anymore and chose to avoid it.

"You're so bored!"

Ripples say so, but teasing Canglan has indeed become a form of entertainment. Canglan's reaction was mostly what she expected, she knew that Canglan wouldn't do anything to her, otherwise she wouldn't have done it. But what she didn't know was that in this day-to-day relationship, her feelings for this man gradually became stronger, and when she realized it, this feeling had become inseparable.
