Under the stars, in a clearing in the town, a bonfire roared

There are always three or five confidants and friends in life, so Romon invited his friends, Fafer and Nick, to share their prey.

The three of them sat in a circle around the campfire, the scorching bright flames swaying in the wind.

Luo Meng held a wooden stick in one hand, carefully watching the flames, the tongue of fire wrapped around the two pork legs, Luo Meng rolled to adjust the position, carefully controlling the fire.

Under the scorching flames, the prey made one crackling sound after another, and the oil under the skin burst open when it could not stand the high temperature, and the tempting aroma gradually escaped.

"Romon, how do you want to get us today?" Fafer stared at the barbecue in Romon's hand with stunned eyes, he was a good friend of Romon, but because Romon was busy with the druid's practice a while ago, he had no time to take care of him, and he didn't have intimate contact for a while, and he just said hello when he saw it.

Someone in the Fafer family used to be a soldier for the lord, and he had a good time, but he couldn't survive the battles again and again, so the family background also fell. The family is not very wealthy, and when he was a teenager, he was used to starving, and he looked skinny, but he liked to eat meat very much. But it's agile and has a lot of strength.

"Why didn't I expect you. Luo Meng spread out with one hand, lifted the roast pig skewered with a wooden stick in his other hand, and made a framed expression, "If I didn't hit a prey today, I immediately called you to eat." ”

"You still say that you have been thinking about your old friend. Nick made a sad gesture: "Fafell and I usually want to find you, but we don't know where you are hiding. ”

"How can I avoid you? Romon explained a little awkwardly, looked down at the fire, and muttered, "I'm just busy with the druid's training." ”

Young people have the best face, and Romon in the past was naturally like this. Whenever he was in his dreamland in the past, he returned home in front of his friends, and he looked like he was raising his eyebrows, he would be extra attentive. At the same time, he is also very concerned about his image in front of his friends - I hope to communicate with them after becoming a druid.

"Then you're not a druid now?" Nick asked, feeling a little strange in his heart.

"It's not that I don't do it. Romon laughed, hiding his embarrassment.

"Why is that?" Fafer's curiosity was piqued.

"Alas!" Romon let out a long sigh with a helpless look on his face, "I have to think about life first." ”

Fafer and Nick were a little embarrassed, they were about the same age as Romon but teenagers, but they didn't have parents like Romon and had to rely on their own strength to take care of themselves.

The three of them were silent for a moment, and the town under the stars fell silent, except for the crackling of roast pigs, there was no sound.

"Grace ......" for a long time, Luo Meng raised the wooden stick, carefully observed the roast pork leg, the golden skin looked crispy, it looked particularly tempting and delicious, Luo Meng took a knife to cut a small opening, a burst of white gas suddenly came to his face, but the meat inside was white and there was no sign of charred black.

"Good fragrant ......" The three of them closed their noses one by one, and their faces and eyes bloomed with joy, and they sighed in unison.

"It's ready to eat, let's divide it. Seeing that his prey had been roasted, Romon said the words that the other two had been waiting for.

After the three of them finished dividing, they ate deliciously.

"What are your plans?" Romon ate silently, "You can't rely on your parents for the rest of your life."

"Well, my words, if only I could be a soldier and eat food. Fafer ate carefully without raising his head: "I have a short bow at home, and I have learned some fighting skills myself!"

Nick picked up the meat with a knife and ate it: "I don't want to be a soldier, but it would be nice to be a businessman." ”

"Then go out on an adventure with me!" Romon ate slowly and silently, with a pensive look on his face, knowing that Fafer's true dream was to be a knight, and Nick wanted to be a big businessman.

"It's dangerous to be an adventurer, and there's no security. Fafer thought for a moment and said, "I still want to wait for when the Baron will recruit soldiers." ”

"Then Farfer, you should go on an adventure with me!" Romon laughed and threw a piece of meat into his mouth: "Hmm, it's hot...... Tell me, what are the benefits of the lord giving a bounty to the outside world?"

"Well, maybe it's cheaper, after all, it costs a lot to raise a soldier. "Fafer is going to enlist in the army, and he is no stranger to this.

"And some real warriors can be selected!" Romon said as he chewed the meat, "I went to complete the lord's bounty and received the bounty, how could there be no record in the lord's hands?"

He then ate another piece: "Whoever dares to venture into the wilderness naturally has the courage to fight, and since he can successfully harvest and receive a bounty, it proves his wisdom and combat power." ”

"Well, wait until the lord wants to expand the army. Nick stopped dealing with his share, which he had already eaten, and interjected: "Of course choose someone who has the courage to take risks and dare to fight." ”

He sucked his finger nostalgically, and then said, "What's more, our family is innocent. ”

Fafer wanted to say, "And families like ours live in the town, and we have to fight to defend the town." ”

But thinking that no one knew about Romon 's parents, he swallowed this sentence into his stomach.

"So what are we going to fight?" Nick was a little impressed.

"Go to the forest to fight goblins, cut your scalp and get a bounty. Romon said to Nick, then turned to look at Favel, "Hunt some prey too, and sell the furs directly to Aunt Jenna's tailor's shop." As for the meat, we can eat some of it ourselves, and sell the other part for money. ”

"The forest? Nick hesitated, "If you're not careful, you'll be attacked there." ”

"It's okay, I'm a druid!" Romon didn't talk about the apprentice this time: "I know the situation in the forest, just like I know the lines on my palms. ”

When Romon said this, he actually said, "You only know when you see it, and you don't know if you don't see it", but neither of them heard it.

"Well, I want to be a warrior, and I'm going to hunt in the forest, and I can take care of each other when I work together. Fafer thought about it and agreed.

"Then count me in!" Seeing that both of them were interested, Nick nodded in agreement.

"What do you have to prepare?" said Romon with a please, "I'll have to buy some more." ”

"I don't need to prepare anything, I have a bow at home, and some arrows that I usually make myself, and I can buy some iron arrowheads. Fafer calculated: "Pack up for a night and you'll be ready." ”

"I'll have to prepare, maybe two or three days!" Nick said.

The three of them immediately discussed some collective public materials and cooperation methods, and the division of labor was completed in a short time.

"If only there was meat to eat every day!" Nick sighed as he finally finished eating, smearing some oil and water on his lips.

"yes. Eating meat is, after all, much better than nibbling on black bread. Fafer smiled and licked his lips clean, "Huh...... Romon is also really well baked. ”

"Then if I hunt prey, I'll take care of it. Romon said.

The night was getting deeper, and the three of them chatted for a while, and then they all went home together.

It was already dark and the town was empty.

Unconsciously, he came to the altar of the earth goddess, looking at the stone altar, the colorful colors, indicating the traces of antiquity, walked into the altar, on the high platform, there is a statue of the god, this is the earth goddess Exidis.

On the wall, there are reliefs carved with bulls and trees and flowers, and the statue of the goddess is not a single reading force, but is carved from three-foot-sized marble on the altar, she wears a crown of flowers and plants on her head, and wears a green dress, but her appearance is beautiful, and the curve of the female surname is faintly visible, which is very charming of the female surname, but the eyes are very expressive.

In the past, Romon used to come here to pray, especially when he tried to become a druid.

In the past, Romon was involved in helping the temple clean up when he had free time, so he was allowed to read the thick "Sacred Book of Agriculture" in the temple

It was this piety, in which most of the townspeople were in disarray, that attracted Elenie's attention, and she greatly appreciated it, often teaching him to read and write throughout the evening after the evening prayers, and allowing him to enter and leave the temple of the goddess of agriculture at will, including the garden at the back.

As a shrine to the goddess of agriculture, it usually has granaries and impressive gardens.

The granary was where the temple bought food for stockpiling, and the garden was where the priest taught others how to properly plant plants, identify the characteristics of animal and plant diseases, and herbs.

Therefore, there are not only common crops in it, but also a large number of medicinal herbs.

What's more, the temple had a rich collection of books that the commoners could not have imagined—a luxury that only the clergy and the nobility could enjoy.

The moon shone on the temple, which was silently empty. The moonlight pours through the large stained glass windows, making it brilliant and mysterious.

In the temple, countless green lights are flickering, which is also a force of nature, but it belongs only to the goddess, and only when the druids believe in the goddess, they can be rewarded.

Romon prayed silently, in the past, Romon had finished his work and came here to pray at night, and he had to at least continue this habit on the surface.

As he walked out of the prayer hall, he shuddered

"Ah, it's cold, kid, you're so thinly dressed. A voice said, "Do you still come to pray to the goddess under such circumstances?"

"Pastor Ternis, I just want to tell the Goddess what is in my heart. Romon said humbly.

Romon did not want to answer or refute his words, for he knew very well that Elenie admired him, but Pastor Turnis was disgusted by it.

Seeing that he had no more words, Romon took his leave.
