Lincoln handed Rodin a blanket to wipe his body, and an unknown hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Looks like you've picked a lot of stone heart grass, how about it, are you interested in making an exchange with me?"
"It depends on what you have. ”
"I've got a lot of good stuff here, and I'm sure you'll be so excited that you can't sleep all night. ”
Early the next morning, Rodin arrived at the exit of the forest under the guidance of Lincoln, and the three-day and two-night trip to the forest officially ended, with a bulging package, which can be described as a full load. He kept only the most basic amount of the stonecore grass he had picked for Leviathan, and exchanged the rest with Lincoln, but it was not so much an exchange as a unilateral gift from Lincoln. Spirit Slaughter Oil, Shaping Sand, and a magic breaking potion that Lincoln explained could break the environmental impact of monsters. Four copies of the same, and even handed him the recipe for the Spirit Slaughter Oil. This thing is somewhat similar to a potion formula, the configuration is relatively simple, but the materials are not easy to obtain.
"Take it and protect the people of your town. ”
According to popular saying, Lincoln should be regarded as a man with a vicious appearance and a good heart, but it is a pity that he has not seen his true strength, and is as mysterious as the Leviathan.
Speaking of the two of them, there are really some similarities, demeanor and way of speaking. Such a thought flashed through my mind, but I didn't dig into it. At the moment, what he was most anxious about was not to report to the Guard, or to see Leviathan, but to have a pretty face that lingered.
"Alas, Rodin, where have you been these two days?"
"Oh, it's a bit of a problem to get out. But fortunately, it's all solved. Along the way, he met several new members of the escort, and Rodin greeted them one by one, and rushed to the Melissa tavern in a hurry.
"It's back. With a gentle greeting, the person who had been thinking about it appeared in front of me.
Dressed in a pure black gauze skirt, outlining the graceful body curves, only the figure was left in Rodin's sight.
"Yes, I missed you. The answer could not have been simpler, and the shadow suddenly threw itself into his arms, and Rodin, slightly stunned by her enthusiasm, gently grabbed her waist. Before this, they had never been so close in front of others.
"Wow. “
"Well done. “
"Alright, Rodin, when will we take down the flower of our hidden town? “
The sound of whistles and commotion filled the hall for a moment, and the townspeople were quite fond of Rodin, a former member of the griffin slaughtering team.
Rodin sniffed the familiar aroma of the tip of his nose and was pulled by Melissa to the good-natured laughter of the townspeople, and returned to his exclusive room.
"I'm sorry to worry you. Melissa's impulsive behavior just now revealed her worried mood, and Rodin couldn't help but feel quite guilty.
Melissa just smiled, "It's good to be back." With that, he took Rodin's hands and looked at him with big clear eyes without blinking.
"Well, actually, I went to the forest. Rodin couldn't stand her enthusiasm and was about to give up on himself.
"Giggles, why are you so nervous? I won't watch over you every day like a resentful woman. Anyway, are you going to have a tryst with another woman without me?" Melissa couldn't help but smile when she saw Rodin's embarrassed appearance.
"You really don't mind if I don't return for two days?"
"You're an adult, and you have your own work and things. As long as you have time to take pity on me, an old woman. ”
"That's a pretty and sexy old woman, too. ”
"Children, I can be your grandmother at my age. ”
"Okay, you dare to take advantage of me, obviously you are four years older than me. Rodin grimaced, went around her back, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her waist, felt the plump and warm touch in front of him, his heart jumped, and his mouth breathed a hot breath against her neck.
"Gurgle, itch, don't. Melissa's pretty face was slightly red, and she leaned back on his shoulder, and seeing that she was pink and bright, Rodin couldn't help but kiss her on the side of the cheek.
The two fought for a while, and inevitably collided with various limbs, although they only tasted it, and in the end, they both looked ruddy.
Finally, they lay face each other on the bed, looking at each other calmly and warmly. Rodin, who has been at home for two lifetimes, never thought that he would have this day, like a teenager who fell in love for the first time, ignorant and slightly blind. indulged in this quiet warmth for more than half an hour,
"Then I'll go down first, baby, you can rest for a while. Stroking Melissa's cheek, Rodin descended the stairs with his things.
Sure enough, Leviathan sat at the counter like a prophet, drinking to his heart's content.
"Old man, the heart grass you want, give it to you. “
Leviathan held the package firmly in his hand, and without checking it, he put it in his hand.
Rodin couldn't help but be secretly annoyed, this thing was also obtained by his life, and Leviathan didn't seem to pay attention to it.
So she walked up to him and snatched a glass of blueberry wine from him and poured it into his mouth.
"Hmm, cool!" is sweet but not strong, which is what Rodin likes.
"Old man, this time I didn't just get the stone heart grass, but also a lot of other good things. ”
Rodin happily placed the shaping sand and the spirit oil in front of Leviathan, but when he saw his expression, he was not surprised: "Put it down, maybe it will come in handy." ”
"Also, it looks like I've had a breakthrough in my breathing method, and I think it's a good idea to exercise underwater. ”
"Looks like you've gained a lot this time. ”
"Then I've fulfilled your first condition. What's next?"
Leviathan turned his head and glanced at Rodin lightly, and suddenly said with emotion: "Don't you need to rest for a while? ”
"That's no way, being young is willful!"
Leviathan showed a meaningful smile and suddenly asked, "Rodin, do you have any ideals?"
"Why do you suddenly ask like that?"
"I think when I was your age, I was a person who did nothing all day, eating and waiting to die. There are not many young people like you who have worked so hard as spontaneously. ”
Rodin couldn't help touching the back of his head: "It's very uncomfortable for you to suddenly praise me like this." Ideally, I guess I want to live freely and freely. It's best to be able to travel the world and see everywhere. You say that this world is so dangerous, griffins, fog demons, water ghosts, demon spirits, witches, if you don't have a little strength, then how can you survive, I can't help but work hard. ”
"Actually, the situation is not as bad as you think. You are not guards on the borders of the Empire, and you do not need to guard your territory against foreign demons. They are the ones who are truly in the company of death all day long. The town of Yinyi is still a long way from the border, and the real crisis is out of reach. ”
"But then again, something seems to be a little wrong with Hidden Town during this time, and the frequency of monsters appearing is a bit too high. ”
At this, the wrinkles on Leviathan's forehead became as deep as a knife.
"Isn't it just a griffon? Isn't it too unfounded?" said Rodin, a little uneasy.
Leviathan suddenly looked at Rodin with some aggressiveness and asked, "If the hidden town were invaded by monsters one day, what would you do, escape alone, or defend the townspeople until you die?"
As an honorable militiaman, it is my duty to protect the townspeople. “
Leviathan seemed to see through and said, "Hehe, it's to protect your lover." “
"Well, isn't Melissa also a member of Hidden Town, and it is naturally my duty to protect her. ”
He was particularly dissatisfied, "What if you had to choose between your lover and the townspeople?"
Rodin suddenly became angry and retorted: "Your mother and your wife fell into the water at the same time, they can't swim, and you can only save one, so who do you choose to save?"
"Uh. Rodin saw Leviathan's rare look of embarrassment, and his heart was greatly rejoiced.
After being silent for a while, Leviathan said helplessly: "Okay, then I won't ask you anymore." I just want you to remember your duties and conscience. “
"Old man, I said, why are you so uncharacteristically today? Did I do something angry and resentful to make you doubt my character so much. “
Levi waved his hand frankly, and continued, "Okay, without saying that, I'll tell you the second test." “
After talking to Leviathan, Rodin rushed to the town square to uncover a commission, which was the second test Leviathan gave him - the commission: "Ryan, the newborn of the farmer William's family, mysteriously disappeared under the care of his sister Cynthia. There was no sound, and no trace of the beast was found. For more information, please contact William, 9 Elm Street. Please contact an experienced hunter as soon as possible, and you will be rewarded. “
Another case of missing children, is it really a case of monsters as Leviathan said?
