The Lutheran Forest is part of the Empire's largest primeval forest, the Arman Forest. The Arman Forest www.biquge.info located at the southwestern tip of the Alki Empire, occupies nearly one-fifth of the entire empire's territory. Legend has it that even the top hunters were not able to go to the deepest part of the Yarman Forest, so what exactly is inside this largest primeval forest is still a mystery.

The Lutheran Forest, on the other hand, is only a small area bordering the northern part of the Yarman Forest, so it can be counted as both a part of the Yarman Forest and a separate part. Unlike the rumors that there are all kinds of monsters in the Yarman Forest, there have been no catastrophic events in the history of the Lutheran Forest, because most of the creatures living in the Lutheran Forest are not very threatening to humans.

Therefore, Lutheran Jungle has also been built into a trade passage by countless merchants who are unwilling to take long routes, and this trade route has been quiet for hundreds of years, but it has begun to become restless in recent times.

"Exploration mission to determine the safety of the Luthemill Forest Trade Road. Nicole looked at the parchment in her hand and said with some boredom, "Isn't that just a walk through Luther Jungle? ”

"We'll be able to get a hundred gold after one walk, and we're not satisfied?" said Ian, chopping down a dangling branch with a dagger, "Do you still want to slay dragons?"

Nicole pursed her lips and said, "Why don't you look like a hunter? What hunter doesn't like thrills? Like you, timid, like—"

Nicole frowned, because she couldn't find an adjective for a while. Ian didn't want to talk to this madwoman, so he walked on his own, he had already understood that Lutheran Mill was not big, it only took four or five days to get out, and they didn't have to come back, and through Luth Mill was another city.

They had already planned to collect the bounty for the mission at the city's hall branch before heading to the imperial capital.

Ian and Nicole have a difference of opinion on this point, Ian wants to go directly to the imperial capital, while Nicole prefers to go to Alder, the alchemy city. The two of them have been arguing since last night until now, and Nicole can't be separated from Ian too much, because after all, she doesn't have a hunter qualification certificate certified by the hall, so she can't receive the task at all. However, to get a hunter's license, you also need some gold coins.

"If you can directly hunt a prey with a threat of more than three stars, you can directly obtain a hunter qualification certificate. Nicole sighed and said, "I don't know when I will be able to meet monsters above three stars." ”

"What is the concept of Samsung?" asked Ian.

"Well, some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, creatures that pose no threat to humans, are judged to be one star. Nicole explained, "Two-star means that they have a certain threat to people, such as wild boars, blind bears, etc. If you are a defenseless human, you will hardly survive these things. For example, some tiger bear or something. ”

Except for chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, Nicole's blind bears, wild boars, tiger bears and the like, Ian has never seen them at all. When he was in Black Rock City, he had seen a few wild dogs, and it hurt him a lot, so why was it classified as a one-star?

"What about dragons?" Ian asked again.

"Even if it's the weakest dragon, even if it's a dragon hybrid, as long as you have the blood of a dragon, the four stars will definitely not be able to escape. ”

Ian looked down and silently glanced at his dragon flame mark, thinking to himself that he was also a person with dragon blood, could he be considered a four-star monster?

Phew, you're the monster.

"Dragon blood is really a mix. Ian said casually, "Have you ever seen a dragon hybrid monster?"

"Not really. Nicole touched her chin and thought for a long time, and finally shook her head, "But the blood of dragons is indeed strong, and I heard my grandfather say that the blood of dragons can help any weak creature become strong." I don't know if it's true, but think about the tiger bear, the hybrid of the two is much more powerful, and the hybrid of the dragon clan should be even more powerful. ”

Listening to Nicole's words, Ian suddenly flashed such a picture in his heart. The giant python, which looked like a small mountain, jumped to its feet, bit down the monster flying in the air, and bit off its neck, and the bright red blood dripped like rain, staining the endless snow red.

Could that giant python be a dragon hybrid? If it was just a python, it wouldn't be so outrageously powerful. Ian thought silently.

The two of them kept moving forward with their own hearts, Ian worrying about the Dragon Emperor's blood in his body, and Nicole worrying about his hunter qualification. So the two did not speak for a long time, but walked silently until the sun was about to set.

"Eat, eat. Nicole sat down on the floor and began to take things out of her bag.

They had entered the dense forest around noon, and had been walking for half a day now. Ian also felt a little tired, and when he saw that Nicole sat down without any scruples, he also had the urge to sit down and rest. But he suddenly thought of something, and walked around the neighborhood for a while, before returning to Nicole and sitting down.

"Why did you go?" asked Nicole, who was preparing to light the fire.

"Look at your surroundings. Ian replied, "You also said that your grandfather used to be a merchant in the hall, and he didn't even do the most basic security." ”

Listening to Ian's words, Nicole looked a little embarrassed, but she refused to bow her head easily, so she blushed and said: "This is Lutheran Jungle, not somewhere else, notoriously safe, what danger can there be." ”

"But this is not human territory after all. Ian shook his head and said, "We've always been outsiders, and if this place was as safe as you say, would we still be sitting here?"

After Ian finished speaking, he felt that his words were much better. When he was in the snowy mountains, he was always educated by all kinds of people, after all, those people were also the best at surviving in the wild, but even the eldest lady Messiah could educate him occasionally. After all, people read a lot of books.

Now, Ian finds himself able to teach people a lesson, too. At first, I was a little happy, and I felt that teaching such a beautiful girl, if nothing else, my vanity was greatly satisfied. But it didn't take long for him to feel a little uneasy.

"Nima, this teammate is stupider than me, nothing will happen, right?" Ian muttered quietly, then felt that something was wrong and slapped himself in the mouth, "You're stupid, you're stupid, uh, no." She's stupid, I'm not stupid. ”
