Chapter 3: The Assassin Hunt

When Leon came to his senses again, he found himself lying in a simple cabin, and a cute little blonde girl was crouching beside him, looking at him intently.

"You're awake, it's great!" the little girl cheered loudly when she saw Leon wake up.

"Where is this, you saved me?" asked Leon as he struggled to his feet.

"I'm Yulia, this is my home, I found you by the river, and asked Sister Sophia to save you, thank me!" said the little girl proudly.

"Yulia, this name is very nice, and Sophia is also very nice, thank you for saving me!" Leon nodded gratefully and said.

At this time, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and wearing black leather armor walked in outside the door.

This beauty should be Yulia's sister Sophia, but she has flaming red hair, and Yulia with blonde hair doesn't seem to be her own sister.

Yulia saw the beautiful woman come in, and hurriedly said, "Sister Sophia, he's awake!"

Sophia nodded and said lightly to Leon: "You don't have any injuries on your body, it's just that you drowned and passed out, since you have woken up, let's leave quickly!"

Li Ang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Although this Sophia has flaming red hair, her temperament seems to be very cold, and she is about to drive Leon away.

But Li Ang didn't have any reason to stay, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, I understand, I'll leave right away!"

At this time, the little girl Yulia suddenly said: "Sister Sophia, our family finally has a guest, don't be in such a hurry to drive him away, and he may not have eaten breakfast yet, let him eat breakfast before leaving!"

Sophia seemed to dote on Yulia very much, and under her constant pleading, she had to relax and say to Leon, "Okay, then you can have breakfast with us!"

"Then I'm going to bother you!" Seeing Yulia's expectant expression, Leon had no choice but to stay.

"I'll warn you first, don't have any bad ideas!" Sophia suddenly pulled out a scimitar from her waist and slashed at a few potatoes on the table next to her.

In the blink of an eye, those few potatoes were peeled off.

Li Ang looked at this amazing sword technique dumbfounded, and was shocked for a while.

"Hehe, it's amazing, Sister Sophia is a well-known ranger!" Yulia said proudly.

"Awesome, amazing!" said Li Ang repeatedly.

"I'm going to prepare dinner!" Sophia took the potatoes and went to cook after using this skillful knife to suppress Leon.

The little girl Yulia rolled her eyes and asked Leon, "Brother, what is your name and why did you fall into the river?"

Li Ang thought about it, and finally didn't plan to hide his name from his life-saving benefactor, so he said lightly: "My name is Li Ang, and I fell into the river because I was chased and killed!"

"Brother Leon, why are you being hunted down?" Yulia asked curiously.

Li Ang shook his head and said, "I have offended a very powerful force, as for which force, I can't tell you, this is also for your good!"

"Okay, then I won't ask about that!" Yulia rolled her eyes, and then said, "Brother Leon, you should also be an adventurer, do you have any interesting adventures?"

Leon scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, the former owner of his body was an aristocratic otaku, and he really didn't have any interesting adventures.

But Yulia pestered him vigorously, and in desperation, Leon had to excerpt some stories from the fantasy novels and movies he had read and tell Yulia to tell.

As a result, Yulia listened happily, and even Sophia, who was cooking next to her, was attracted by Leon's story.

Li Ang was also in high spirits, and kept telling the wonderful adventure stories in his memory one by one, which made Yulia addicted.

In the end, it was the mashed potatoes made by Sophia that gave off the smell of burning, and Leon's story meeting was forced to stop.

Being caught eavesdropping on Leon's story made Sophia a little embarrassed, and her pretty face turned slightly red with shame.

I saw her glaring at Li Ang fiercely, and said loudly: "Okay, stop telling stories, let's eat!"

"Yes, got it!" Yulia stuck out her tongue and sat down obediently at a round table in the cabin.

Leon also sat down, took a piece of mashed potatoes from Sophia's hand, and tasted them.

Sophia's cooking skills seem to be good, although I was a little distracted by the story just now, and the lower part was burned a little burnt, but the upper part still tasted good.

Leon couldn't help but gulp down.

Yulia suddenly said thoughtfully: "It seems that Brother Li Ang likes Sister Sophia's cooking very much!"

When Sophia heard this, her face immediately turned red.

Leon also suddenly felt a sense of "home".

At this time, Yulia suddenly threw herself into Sophia's arms with red eyes, crying and saying, "Sister Sophia, I miss my parents!"

Sophia sighed, hugged Yulia, and gently comforted her.

"What happened to Yulia's parents?" asked Leon curiously.

Sophia said lightly: "Yulia's parents are both druids, specializing in maintaining the ecological balance of the nearby dark forest, three days ago, a strange black fog suddenly appeared in the dark forest, causing the beasts inside to transform into violent magical beasts, Yulia's parents entered the dark forest to investigate the origin of the black fog, but never came back!"

Li Ang's heart moved when he heard this: "Dark Forest, why is this name so familiar...... By the way, didn't my father, Baron Liszt, go to the hot spring villa in the Dark Forest to recuperate, and that vicious woman is suddenly anxious to get rid of me, could it be that Baron has an accident in the Dark Forest?"

Thinking of this, Leon suddenly had the urge to go to the dark forest to have a look.

If Baron Liszt is not dead, but is trapped in the dark forest, then if Leon can rescue him, he can gain the trust and support of the baron, and then use the baron's support to deal with the vicious stepmother.

Moreover, he has a shattered godhead, which is just right to hunt the demonic beasts in the dark forest to obtain evolutionary energy points.

Moreover, when he saw Yulia crying so sadly, he also wanted to find her parents for her, after all, the little girl was his savior.

So Leon said to Yulia: "Yulia, don't cry, my brother will enter the dark forest in a moment and help you find your parents." ”

Yulia's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Brother Li Ang, do you mean it really!"

Li Ang nodded and said, "Of course, how could I lie to my life-saving benefactor?"

Yulia immediately burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Great, thank you, Brother Li Ang!"

Sophia suddenly said to Leon: "It's rare that you are so hearty, I'll go with you!"

"You're going too?" Leon was stunned.

Sophia nodded and said solemnly: "Of course, I am friends with Yulia's parents, how can I watch them disappear and ignore them?"

Seeing Sophia's determined face, Li Ang had no choice but to nod.

Suddenly, Yulia said loudly next to her, "I'm going too!"

"No!" Leon and Sophia said in unison.

The two glanced at each other and felt an inexplicable tacit understanding.

At this time, Yulia said angrily: "Why can you go, I can't go, I am also a druid!"

As she spoke, as soon as Yulia raised her hand, she summoned a vine from the ground and quickly wrapped it around Leon and Sophia.

"Yulia, don't be naughty!" Leon and Sophia hurriedly dodged.

Fortunately, after Li Ang worked part-time as a first-level thief, his agility improved a little, and he also obtained a first-level body skill, and finally narrowly avoided the entanglement of the vine.

And Sophia is a ranger of no low rank, easily flashing the vines.

"Hmph, I know how powerful people are, if you don't let me go, I'll go secretly!" Yulia said with a pout, holding her waist.

Leon and Sophia glanced at each other, and finally had to say, "Okay, we can let you follow, but you must be obedient and don't run around!"

"Great!" Yulia said as she jumped up with joy.

After breakfast, Leon left the hut with Sophia and Yulia and walked towards the dark forest nearby.

After walking for a while, Leon and the others came to a small village next to a dark forest.

This small village is home to several inns and taverns, as well as a number of adventurers armed with weapons.

"This village is called Moriguchi Village, and it specializes in all kinds of services for adventurers, let's go in and buy some dry food!" Sophia said, pointing to the village.

Leon nodded, and the three of them walked into the small village and came to a tavern.

The tavern was filled with cheerful music and noisy conversations, and every now and then a few women's screams rang out.

When Li Ang and the other three pushed open the activity door of the tavern, the people inside immediately looked at them.

When they saw the beautiful Sophia and Yulia, many people immediately showed covetous expressions, and as for Leon, who looked a little thin, they were disdainful.

However, there are also some people who seem to know Sophia, and when they saw her, their eyes suddenly shrank, and they quickly lowered their heads.

It seems that Sophia does have a bit of a reputation in the neighborhood.

Sophia snorted coldly, walked straight to the bar of the tavern, bought a few dry food from a bearded middle-aged bartender, and then walked out of the tavern with Leon and Yulia.

At this moment, a strong man came over and said to Sophia Pi with a smile: "Beauty, are you going to enter the dark forest, do you want to team up with our Black Wolf Adventure Team, the captain of our adventure team Black Wolf is a powerful berserker, join us, you will be fully safe, and you can also get a good reward." ”

The strong man said, but his eyes kept drifting to Li Ang next to him.

Li Ang was shocked when he saw this, and said secretly: "It seems that the real purpose of this strong man is not Sophia, but me, could it be the assassin sent by that vicious woman to hunt me down!"
