Coconut Fruit's so-called test is a battle, and when she waits for Luke to finish eating, she invites him outside and starts a bit of a cowboy duel.

The adventurers in the tavern all knew Coconut Fruit, and when they heard that it was a B-class adventurer who was fighting against her, they all ran out one after another, wanting to see the strength of the so-called B-class adventurer.

Pedestrians on the road did not avoid the impending fight, but stopped to watch, and after a while, they surrounded the crowd.

Someone whistles at the coconut to cheer up the long-legged beauty.

Coconut Fruit not only did not show timidity in the face of a B-class adventurer, but looked like he was eager to attack. She didn't pull out the short sword on her crotch, and jumped up and moved her body first, and the pair of coconut fruits on her chest were very dazzling as they fluctuated up and down.

"Mr. Luke, are you ready?"

"You're ready, I'm ready!"

Luke stood still, disdainful of exerting his full strength.

The barbarian blood makes Coconut very brave, and being despised stimulates the blood in her bones. She crouched with her legs flexed, and at the moment of the burst of power, her body turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Luke.

Coconut Fruit's attack is very direct, with his body in the air, and his long legs are swept at Luke's head with a swing of his legs.

And Luke, who was trained by Clear Sky's various fighting techniques, would not be hit by such a straightforward attack. In the face of the attack, Luke did not dodge but took a step forward, his shoulders sank against the root of the coconut leg, and when he pushed forward, he knocked the coconut backwards and flew out.

Coconut spun in the air to find her balance, landed on the ground after a somersault, and slid backwards a few meters to stabilize herself.

Luke's strength amazed her.

Is this a power that humans can have?

Coconut was very surprised, the person in front of him was a very standard human, but his strength was not only not weaker than himself, but even stronger than himself with barbarian blood.

Interesting!

Instead of being discouraged by the loss in the first meeting, Coconut triggered a stronger fighting spirit in her. Even if the opponent is a B-class adventurer, they are ...... in the strength competition. I can't afford to lose!

The fighting spirit was aroused, and Coconut rushed towards Luke again, this time there was still no fancy movement, her whole body was like a cannonball shot out, her body was in the air, and her knee was a knee blow to Luke's face.

Luke, who has dragon blood, is not afraid of this kind of hard bridge and hard horse trick at all, he doesn't even need to let his dragon blood manifest, and his hands reach out and hold the knee blow that holds the coconut fruit, pulling her straight out of the air. Then he threw the coconut fruit to the ground and punched her in the face.

Coconut Guo originally wanted to resist, but the eyes that were beaten by this punch were full of stars, the sky was spinning, and his head was tilted...... Fainted.

This......

For a moment, the scene was silent.

As a famous adventurer in the town, everyone knows her strength. In the competition of strength, ordinary barbarians are not her opponents, and this human not only dared to take the attack of the coconut fruit, but also knocked her unconscious with three strikes and five divisions.

Is this the strength of a B-class adventurer?

Strong, really too strong.

Luke picked up the unconscious coconut from the ground and walked towards the tavern, and the passers-by made way for him.

Back at the tavern, Luke Coconut placed himself in a chair and, after chanting a spell, placed the light on her forehead with the condensed tips of his fingers.

Coconut struck a spirit, then opened his eyes.

"What's wrong with me?"

When the team members on the side saw Coconut wake up, they immediately shouted happily: "Captain Coconut Fruit, you were knocked unconscious by Mr. Luke, who is still a magician. ”

"Got knocked unconscious?" Coconut who had just woken up was still a little dazed, but she quickly remembered what had just happened. She was not annoyed by being beaten unconscious by Luke in public, but said happily: "Mr. Luke, you are too strong, your strength is greater than that of a barbarian, how do you exercise?" ”

Luke looked at the dark circles under the coconut and felt that he had just shot a little too hard. To the question of coconut fruit, he replied: "100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10 kilometers of long-distance running every day, stick to it." ”

"Is that okay?" Coconut widened his eyes in disbelief, this kind of training intensity was not even a tenth of his own.

"Everybody trains differently, and that's just for me. Am I qualified? ”

"Yes, of course." Coconut held out his hand to Luke again: "Welcome to Coconut Fruit's adventure party." I believe that this trip to the Temple of Blood Oath will be an exciting and enriching journey. ”

Next, Coconut tells Luke about the mission they have taken.

It is to escort a consignment of goods through the Tedgar jungle to the Holy Mountain.

This transportation route has been walked many times by adventurers, and there is no danger on the road that cannot be handled, so the profit of pure logistics is not much. With a B-rank adventurer joining this time, Coconut Fruit is considering taking on some tasks along the way, earning more extra money on the basis of keeping the basic profit.

Luke also worked with him to select the right commission.

It's like it's back in the game.

Due to the blockade caused by the war, many of the commissions were moved to coastal towns, and not only did the number of commissions increase, but the bounties were also much higher than before.

Luke had seen a lot of collection tasks related to arcane arts among the many commissions, and the publishers of the commissions were more or less related to the Abyss Temple, and one of the commissions caught Luke's attention.

"Looking for the Egg of Nirvana!"

That's why Luke chose the town of Nampton as the first destination for his trip to the Tedgar Hills.

The Nirvana Egg is a fiery egg that the supernatural creature Firebird transforms after death, and after a period of time, the Firebird is reborn in the flames. The Nirvana Egg is a very rare and mysterious item, and a priest with a high status in the Abyss Temple is the anonymous publisher of this commissioned mission.

In the game, players can go to the Temple of Blood Oath to hand in the quest after getting the Nirvana Egg, and then they can start the Abyss Temple plot in a very comfortable position.

This story mission, Luke has walked through, and he is very familiar with the whole process. It's just that now that four of the seven Abyss Apostles have been killed by Clear Sky, there must have been a very big change in the interior of the Abyss Temple, and I don't know how useful the previous experience is.

But it is better to go to the holy mountain with an egg of nirvana than to go to the holy mountain empty-handed.

Luke added the "Nirvana Egg" quest to the Coconut Adventurer's team's task list, and freaked Coconut out on the spot: "Are you crazy?" That's a firebird, when we see it, we're afraid that we won't be able to run away, and you still want to kill it and get the nirvana egg! ”

Luke said, "But its bounty is 100 million Reichsmarks. ”

Coconut said helplessly: "Life is gone, no matter how much money you give, you can't spend it." This commission has been hanging here for a long time, and I heard that an A-class adventurer took this task, and then he never came back.

You're strong, but you're only a B-level, don't do anything beyond your strength. ”

Luke looked at the route map of the delivery and said, "Being an adventurer is adventurous, and I saw that the mission you took was a safe outing."

So be it, the firebird's habitat isn't far from our route. If you are willing to take me there as a guide, I will give you a hundred thousand Reichsmarks as a reward. ”

"One hundred thousand Reichsmarks!" Coconut was shocked, knowing that the total labor cost of their transportation was only more than 10,000 Reichsmarks, and taking this adventurer to the Firebird's habitat could get 100,000 Reichsmarks. Coconut immediately asked, "What if you were killed by a firebird?" ”

Luke couldn't help laughing, "I'll give the money first." ”

"Deal!"

In the evening, the Coconut Adventurers took advantage of the darkness to escort the goods of the trip into the dense forest on the north side of the town.

The goods were a batch of soap.

The war dealt a great blow to the light and heavy industries in the Tedgar Hills, which were not very good, and even some daily necessities became in short supply. Soap is not a sensitive military item, so the Imperial Navy does not strictly inspect this kind of smuggled goods, and the transportation is also picked up by a random team of adventurers.

The cost was insignificant, safety was guaranteed, and as long as it could be transported to the hinterland of the Tedgar Hills, nobles and tribal leaders were willing to pay a premium for the cleaning supplies.

All the soap was carried by three pack beasts, and the Coconut Adventurer team was a total of five people, including the new Luke, each with a horse to carry them on.

At night, tall trees obscure the starry sky, and the ownerless glowing ferns add another magical touch to the forest. The caravan follows the path of the adventurers, who spend about a week traversing this primeval jungle, where countless poisonous insects and beasts or all sorts of unexpected dangers await them, and if they are not careful, they will die in this beautiful forest.

Coconut and Luke rode at the head of the procession. Unlike Luke, who wraps himself tightly, Coconut collects berries and blades of grass along the way, mixes them and squeezes them out to smear the juice on his skin. Luminescent by ferns, the skin of the coconut reflects brilliant colors.

The poisonous mosquitoes all stayed away from the coconut and gathered around Luke, looking for a gap to get into his mouth.

Coconut Fruit stretched out her hand to Luke, and there was still some juice in her hand that she hadn't used up: "Rub some of this, no matter how tightly you wrap yourself, those little things will always find a place to bite you." ”

Luke didn't take the juice from the coconut fruit, he didn't want to mess with all the bells and whistles. An invisible heat erupted from his side, and the mosquitoes surrounding him were instantly ignited and turned into flying ashes.

"No, they're dead before they bite me."

Although Coconut doesn't know what Luke did, it must be magic: "I forgot, you are still a noble magician. You must have come from a very noble family, and adventure is just your hobby. And for us, adventure is everything. ”

"You're wrong, taking risks is all I have, and failure is death for me."

Coconut doesn't understand Luke's metaphor, and she says, "I'll admit it. Not many people dare to make the acquisition of the egg of Nirvana their own adventure. This decision you made is so crazy that I can't think of the possibility that you will complete the mission alive.

If you give up this task, I don't want the 100,000 reward. ”

Luke smiled and said, "If you think it's crazy, it's because you're too weak." No matter how strong the firebird is, it is only an extraordinary creature, and I will definitely be able to get the egg of Nirvana. ”

was ridiculed again, and Coconut showed an unhappy expression: "Your strength is indeed powerful, but you are too arrogant." If you are looking for death, I will never persuade you again. ”

Coconut no longer pays attention to Luke.

Luke is pleased with Coconut Fruit's attitude towards him. In the winter capital, the most important thing he learned was to avoid causing trouble, and excessive enthusiasm for people would cause unnecessary trouble for himself.

He was looking for the Coconut Fruit Adventure Group, just to find someone who was familiar with the jungle and take him through this strange area to find the Firebird by the way. At the end of the journey, everyone broke up and never crossed paths again.

The caravan walked silently through the dense forest of all its glory, with only the occasional call from the beast of burden.

But Coconut was obviously a quiet person, and after only a while, she found Luke again: "You said that you exercise your strength, which is to do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10 kilometers a day...... Is it true? ”

"Of course it's true, it's the right training for me, not necessarily for you."

"If it's a training you've set for yourself, there's something wrong with it. Didn't you find out? Stretching is missing from your workout. ”

"Stretching?"

"That's right! It's stretching, which helps balance the muscles of the whole body, so I recommend adding swimming to your workout. ”

"Swimming?" Luke didn't expect Coconut to be so good at finding topics.

"The benefits of swimming are many! Your strength talent is very good, I have never seen a human with such strength, if you train according to the strength training method I have laid out for you, you can definitely compete with the strongest savages.

There is a Hercules race in the Holy Mountain, are you interested in participating? ”

Luke immediately said: "I'm not interested in a game like this. ”

Coconut did not give up because of Luke's refusal: "You can participate if you are not interested, and the prize money is very high." I can be your coach, and I know how to beat the big guys who only have the power to die. ”

It's clear that coconut is interested in tournament prize money. She had experienced Luke's power and was convinced that as long as she had a good training discipline for him, even if she didn't win the championship, she would have no problem winning the winning prize.

"I don't really have ......"

Coconut Guo said: "You are now a member of the Coconut Adventurer team, and you have to listen to me, the leader, for any mission." Participating in the Hercules competition, as far as I give you the mission, it is against the professional ethics of the adventurer to refuse a low-risk mission. ”

Luke didn't expect Coconut to move out of the adventurer's behavior, so he could only reluctantly agree: "Okay, participating in the Hercules competition is the last task for me to temporarily join the team." At the end of the race, no matter what the result is, we don't have to do anything anymore. ”

Coconut held out his hand to Luke: "Deal!" ”
