Chapter 25: I Want to Help You
"Hmm." Andrea calmed down, and after answering, she said, "Then I'll continue to follow you, okay?" ”
"Of course."
Xiang En thought she was talking about going home, so she didn't think much about it and agreed directly.
This brief exchange ended there, and the two were in no mood to stay here anymore and gossip in front of a pile of corpses in the night.
The two returned to the room that Chief Omura had arranged for them, ready to rest for another night.
Looking at the back of Xiang Enmai entering the house, Andrea hesitated for a while, somehow, the sharing of a room that she didn't care about at this time would become a little tangled in her.
This struggle lasted only a short time, and finally she was persuaded by the reason to protect her teammates.
When the two entered the house, they simply locked the wooden door and slept on the plank bed without any scruples.
The wooden houses are sturdy, the closed rooms always give people a sense of security, and the people in the village are dead, so they have no scruples.
Andrea has a backpack, and she chose to sleep on the ground on her own initiative, anyway, the plank bed is only a plank, not much different from the ground, and then there is the effect of the fixed impression that the caster is generally weak.
The next morning, the two got up and went to the well next to the center of the village to fetch water and bathe.
The two of them hadn't cleaned their bodies seriously for a long time, and it was uncomfortable to sweat profusely from running.
After cleaning their bodies with cold well water, the two changed into the villagers' clothes, found hoes and shovels, and began digging in the fields at the entrance of the village.
It was impossible for them to dig a single pit for all the villagers, it would be too time-consuming, so they had to dig a wide and large pit and throw the bodies down one by one.
When they had done this, and filled in the earth, it was almost dark, and they returned to the village, and with the dried meat and wheat they had scavenged, they stewed it in another pot, and ate it with bread dipped in the soup.
After returning to the cabin, Xiang En explained the follow-up arrangements to Andrea before going to bed, "Tomorrow we will find useful things in all the rooms in the village, and we can continue to set off the morning after tomorrow." ”
"Huh?" When Andrea heard such an arrangement, she wondered, "Aren't we going to improve our strength here?" ”
"Huh?" Turning over to look at Andrea lying on the ground, Xiang En was also puzzled, "Don't you want to go home?" Changed your mind? ”
In the darkness, Andrea looked at Xiang Eun's silhouette, her expression gradually changing from confusion to astonishment.
I changed my mind?
No, isn't it...... Huh?
Andrea thought carefully about last night's conversation, and suddenly figured out what happened, and suddenly realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something!
She asked with some caution, "You, haven't you ever thought about living alone in the forest?" ”
That's right...... Once again, it was unexpected by Xiang En, which made him look helpless.
"I'm just a spellcaster, you've seen the actual combat power, how can I live in the forest without you? And I promised you to help you get home, so I'll do my best to fulfill my promise, don't worry. ”
Hearing this, Andrea immediately turned her back, her face turning red in the darkness at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"No, I'm not in such a hurry, we can live here for a while. It's too dangerous out there, and our strength isn't enough. ”
Xiang En didn't understand what she was thinking, but Andrea's answer, one moment to go home, and the other time to say that she wanted to stay to improve her strength, made him feel the chaos of the human race.
But it's also good that you can improve your strength first and then go on the road, and you can get a greater guarantee in terms of safety.
The next morning, Xiang En woke up in good spirits.
Waking Andrea, who was still a little dazed on the ground, ate some bread and began to search for useful things in the village's wooden houses.
There were many useful things, some bedding could be used to make beds, and hunters had plenty of knives and bows in their homes, and these well-maintained weapons would allow them to be used for a long time.
He took some generous clothes from Endor, and found needle and thread in a room, and he was going to make himself a special garment.
Andrea was not idle, she found some carpenter's tools and prepared to try her hand at making a wooden shield.
It doesn't matter how durable, as long as it can block the impact of some beasts.
After some searching, the two finally came to the largest house in the village.
The door and bed of this wooden house are large, and many animal bones are placed in it for decoration, and when you enter this room, it is like entering the cave of primitive people, and you can faintly feel the breath of recklessness, and it is obviously the home of the chief of the big village.
There weren't too many weird things in the room, but there was a small furnace in the backyard of this wooden house.
After seeing the furnace, Andrea immediately said excitedly that she wanted a metal shield, but she didn't know how to use the furnace, and looked at Xiang En with a pleading expression.
Xiang En won't either, but if you just melt some of the metal and use these metal cast iron to make an iron shell, then it's okay.
With a little forging, the quality should be better, right?
After looking at the furnace, the two turned to the log cabin in the garden, thinking that this log cabin would put some miscellaneous items, such as hoes, shovels, rakes, etc.
When the wooden door was opened, the light reflected frames of armor fragments and broken swords......
Xiang En and Andrea were both shocked, the last house, I didn't expect to find such a "surprise"!
After glancing at each other, the two worked together to remove a basket of pieces of armor.
The silver armor didn't flicker in the faint light of the gloomy sky, and he laboriously pulled out a set of plate armor that was full of cratered marks and brown residue.
Wiping off the dust and looking closely, Xiang En could still peek from the fine knife marks on the plate armor to see how fiercely the owner who wore it fought against a strong enemy many years ago.
This set of armor tells the glorious achievements of the master during his lifetime......
It's just that these armors have now lost their owners, even if Xiang En wants to wear them, his physical condition doesn't allow it, these armors are too heavy.
Andrea could have given it a try, but after a careful search, the women's armor hardly suited her.
The appearance of these armors also verified Xiang En's previous guess, the villagers in this village are obviously soldiers of an army, judging from the uniform style of these armors and the slightly exaggerated exquisite patterns, the villagers in the village may be the elite of the imperial army!
However, among those broken swords, they found a broad-edged sword that was relatively complete, the big sword was one and a half meters long, the sword body was thick, the material was not simple, and it was extremely heavy.
Andrea picked up the big sword with both hands and swung it, and after only two swings, she put down the big sword a little uncomfortably, and said breathlessly: "It's so heavy, I can't use it now." ”
Xiang En heard something else from this sentence, and said in surprise: "You want to take this sword with you?" ”
"Well, take it to exercise, and I also need to improve my strength a little to help you!"
Andrea said seriously.
