Chapter 3: The Night Is Coming

Old and unfamiliar ceilings.

Where is this? Mino, who opened his eyes, looked at the unfamiliar room, sleepily recalling his experience yesterday.

Since the first undead siege happened that day, the original expectation of retaking the village has become a delusion, and the three of them have returned to the place where the people of a village live temporarily, and everyone in the village knows that it has not succeeded when they look at the appearance of the three people, and they don't ask much, so that the three of Mino, who don't know how to speak, are mixed up like this.

The next day, the mayor gathered all the towns of Tassi, told everyone about the approaching army of the undead, the almost impossible escape, the upcoming reinforcements, and the strength of the town, and mobilized everyone to unite and contribute to the protection of their hometown.

After all, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and it is very likely that it will not be able to escape, plus the mayor is also very prestigious in the town, except for some brave wandering merchants, everyone living on this continent with the glory of bravery is willing to fight for their hometown. Nearly 100 soldiers temporarily filled the town's militia regiment and began intense training, while others also began to prepare strategic materials such as rolling stones.

Later, the mayor of the town passed the warrior decree and recruited the three mercenary groups in the town, because many of the three mercenary groups were locals, plus there would be a rich reward for participating in the battle and winning the battle, and if you escape in the case of the undead invasion, it is basically impossible to mix in the mercenary industry, so the three leaders also promised to participate in this battle of defending the city after saying that they would not accept the cannon fodder task.

After that, it was naturally a 'grand' implementation activity, so to speak, in fact, it was like a death row prisoner who had to eat a good meal before his execution, everyone was about to go to work hard, and naturally had a good meal, so the treasure of the mayor's family was suffered, and more than 300 strong men drank a good drink in the square in the center of the town, and Minoan was also infected by the atmosphere, drank a drink, and then .................. There is no then.

Although there is a lot of content, in fact, it is only a momentary thing in retrospect, and after quickly going through the previous things in his mind and sorting out the current situation, Mino turned over, quickly took off his pajamas and put on his clothes, glanced at the mercury timepiece left by the original owner of the room, and after confirming that he had not overslept, he picked up the big sword on the side of the bed that was longer than his height, and hurriedly rushed to the courtyard outside.

By the way, Mino's family used to live in the old site where the militia had not had time to demolish it, because there were about 20 people in the village who signed up to fight, so everyone's treatment was improved, and they were placed in the house of a group of runaway merchants with better conditions, and Mino's people lived in a small building with a courtyard.

Standing in the courtyard, Mino steadily grasped the sword in his hand, took a deep breath, tried to calm his breathing, and then stabbed straight with his sword, crossed his right leg forward, raised the sword up, pulled the sword out of his palm, and turned his body to stab on his back.................. With one sword move after another, Mino's sweat rained down, and the muscles became sore and stiff, but the fighting spirit in the body became more and more active, and the weak air flow shuttled back and forth between the muscles and bones, constantly extracting energy from Mino's body to strengthen itself, and when Mino's body could no longer hold on to stopping, the total amount of fighting energy in the body rose a lot.

"I said don't be in a hurry and take your time, what's wrong with you, Mino, you just don't listen to your sister, if something happens to you, what can my sister do alone." Handing over the towel that had been prepared a long time ago, looking at Mino's faintly bloodied skin, Mino's sister Mina couldn't help but complain.

"It's okay sister, didn't Aunt Kasha say it before leaving, I can hold on a little longer now, this will be good for me to break through the second-level fighting spirit, as long as my fighting spirit can reach the second level, with my sword skills that have already reached the second level, even if Taxi Town can't hold on to the arrival of reinforcements in the end, I can escape here with my sister, the strength of the first level is too weak." Mino, who put down the big sword in his hand and took the towel, said.

Hearing her brother say this, Mina's complaining words suddenly couldn't be spoken, at this moment her heart was full of warmth, and the haze caused by the various blows that followed was also diluted a lot, but she also had a dead chagrin, annoyed that she was an older sister but had to rely on her younger brother to work hard to support the family: "It's a pity that Aunt Kasha told me that I can't just choose the meditation method to break through no matter what, otherwise I can also contribute in the battle." ”

"Don't say that, the choice of meditation is the most important choice for a mage, sister, you have the best arcane master talent, how can you use those stalls, and I swore to protect my sister, sister just give me this opportunity to perform, otherwise my sister will become an official mage in the future, and I won't have a chance." ”

Holding his chest out, Mino wiped his sweat while bracing his arms to make a bodybuilder move, and his funny appearance made Mina cover her mouth and chuckle, and her long silver-white shawl hair brushed against Mino's nose like trembling satin, causing Mino to sneeze widely.

"It's okay, isn't there still Yelai? You said at the time that you would do everything you can to protect the two of us, and it would be nice for you to protect her then, but it's a pity that Lana's girl is a violent elemental mage, otherwise you can protect her. "I think of my brother when he fled the village

"Sister!"

"Yo, our Mino is shy, she looks so cute, come and let my sister hug her. Looking at Mino's blushing face, Mina playfully laughed at her brother.

"Don't! just make fun of me, and when my sister has a boyfriend, I'll make fun of my sister like this. With that, Mino threw the towel over and hurried to take a shower.

"Maybe, the average man sister can't look down on it, maybe my sister will rely on my Mino in the future, and then the two girls of Yelai and Lana will have to look at my face, how good!" Throwing the change of clean clothes to Mino, Mina smiled and said, "By the way, remember to call Yelai when you go to find Yeren later, and we will help you prepare supplies." ”

"Got it. Afraid that my sister would continue to make fun of herself, Mino took the clothes and ran away without looking back.

"Yeren is coming out, it's time to help move things!"

After a while, Mino, who had finished taking a shower, was standing outside another house not far away.

"It's Mino, I'm looking for Yeren again, that kid drank too much last night, and he hasn't gotten up yet, you come in first, I'll let Yelai pour you a glass of water." After waiting for a while, it was Grandpa Conseil who came out, and he warmly welcomed Mino into the door, "Yelai, don't be busy, leave the matter to your grandmother, come out and pour a glass of water for Mino." ”

After a while, a lovely girl with long purple shawl hair came out with a glass of water, and a mischievous hair trembled on her head, revealing the joy of her master.

Yelai is Yeren's older sister, the parents of the two siblings died seven years ago, and the Conseils, whose son is far away, adopted the two of them, treating them as grandchildren and granddaughters, giving them the best living conditions possible, so the little talented siblings are both level 0 mage apprentices.

After taking the water cup handed by Yelai, seeing that she turned around and was about to leave, Mino hurriedly stopped her: "Sister Yelai, don't be busy, my sister just asked me to bring you a message, so that you can go with her to help prepare supplies later." ”

"Well, grandpa, can I come back when I'm done later?" Yelai, who had stopped, turned to look at Conseil to the side and ask for his opinion.

"Go, go, our Yelai is also a mage's apprentice, and staying at home and doing housework is really useless. Looking at Yelai, who stopped and looked at him, Conseil laughed and said: "You should go out and walk more, do something you like, your grandmother is enough for this little work at home, don't snub our brave Mino, otherwise others should say that my old Conseil beat mandarin ducks or something." ”

"Grandpa, what are you talking nonsense. Xia Fei cheeks, Yelai secretly glanced at Mino, who was gulping down water and hadn't heard anything, and sneered at Conseil.

"How can it be nonsense, grandpa, I'm not talking without evidence, the marriage books signed by the little ones are still kept with me, or I'll take them out and show you." With that, Conseil made a gesture to get up.

"Grandpa, you are really, how can what you wrote when you were a child count. Don't tell your grandfather, I'll go to Mina. Seeing that Conseil wanted to say something, Yelai, who was afraid of attracting Mino's attention, hurriedly ran out.

At this time, Yeren, who had just gotten up, happened to yawn out, looking at her sister who was running fast, and looked at Mino who had just put down the cup and Conseil on the side in confusion, "Sister, what's wrong with her, why are you running in such a hurry?"

Mino didn't know anything, but old Conseil smiled mysteriously, Yeren's doubts were not answered, and he was about to say something more, but the weather that had been sunny before suddenly became as dark as night, and the faces of Conseil and Mino suddenly became as ugly as this sky.
