Chapter 4 On the shores of Lake Agate

Night.

Anna's grandfather only had one arm and one eye left, but even so, he was one of the luckiest of thousands of hunters.

Very few hunters can live to this age, and most of them, like Lei Luo's father, eventually die from their prey, after all, the difference between beasts and monsters is too great, and ordinary hunters are just two-legged beasts in front of monsters.

Anna's father was an honest farmer who cultivated the land for the town's baron, and her mother was a housewife who worked some needlework to support the family.

In the light of the fire, Anna held the soup basin, as if she already knew the next topic, and kept her head shy and bowed, without speaking.

"Come, Lei Luo, eat more, only when you are full will you have more strength to dedicate to the God of Light. ”

Grandpa Anna smiled, taking off the majesty of his weekdays, it could be seen that he really liked Lei Luo, or because of Lei Luo's father.

"Grandpa, I'm really full. ”

This was the third time Lei Luo had explained, and he smiled helplessly.

Grandpa Anna looked at the side and bowed his head silentlyAnna, then looked at Lei Luo, and said slowly: "Lei Luo, have you really decided that you want to serve the great God of Light for the rest of your life?" Oh, don't get me wrong, Grandpa is also a faithful believer in the God of Light, but ...... Serving the God of Light, you can also choose to become a Knight of Light, after all, Knight of Light can get married and have children. ”

Lei Luo understood what his grandfather meant, and said in a low voice: "Because of my mother's difficult birth, it is difficult for my body to meet the conditions of the Light Knight. ”

A look of disappointment.

"Hey, it's a pity, I'll be relieved if Anna can be with you. ”

Grandpa sighed and said no more.

Lei Luo secretly glanced at Anna, saw Anna's freckled cheeks reflecting the firelight, and saw her look at her shyly and lost eyes, Lei Luo couldn't help but recall the innocence and lack of suspicion between the two.

If you weren't a wizard descendant, how nice it would be if you could become a knight of light, live here for the rest of your life, and be pure and happy forever.

Thinking of this, Lei Luo hid the loss and sadness in his heart, showed a satisfied smile on his face, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Lord! Just yesterday, I received the special grace of the church and decided to let me go to a remote town called Sophie to spread the light of the Lord as a trainee missionary, and I can finally dedicate my life to the Lord!"

"Ahh

The people around the fire heard Lei Luo say this, and they all showed surprised expressions, and even Anna sincerely blessed and made a gesture of prayer in her heart.

......

Half a month later.

The snow melts, and everything recovers.

The snow water gathers in the small town of Agate Lake, the blue waves reflect the young shoots on the lakeside, people step on the muddy land, start the new year's work, listen to the bells of distant churches in the fields, pray for this year's harvest in the mountains and fields, and do their best to praise the god of light.

Although life is poor and tiring, people are very easily satisfied, and a simple smile appears on their tired faces.

Lei Luo stood on the street, carrying a travel wooden box on his back, and looked back at the town of Onyx Lake for the last time, and his reluctance gradually turned into determination.

"Father, Mother, I'm gone!"

Lei Luo turned around and resolutely left.

Walking on the muddy road, Lei Luo's eyes were slightly red, and he would abandon everything he knew and embark on a journey into the unknown, not knowing when he would come back, maybe never again.

The leather shoes followed the mud marks from the wheels of the carriage, but the mud and water inevitably splattered and ruined the clothes, and my father had said that along this road through the Eagle Forest would lead to St. Granburg, the capital of the Duchy of Gran.

In the small town of Onyx Lake, no one noticed that the boy who had aspired to become a missionary left silently, for the town, he was insignificant, maybe only when the qualification selection was made next year, the pastor remembered the believer who had been pestering him in previous years, and secretly wondered why he did not appear this year.

It took almost two hourglasses like this.

Gradually, farmland was replaced by shrubs.

As far as the eye can see, there are no more people, and in the distance, there are endless tall trees and tender green, and a few bat rats faintly leap through the forest.

Ahead is the Deep Forest of the Magic Eagle, the destination of the town hunters.

Legend has it that in the depths of the Demon Eagle Forest, there is a group of extremely terrifying Demon Eagles, and all the prey that these Demon Eagles watch will freeze their souls and be hunted by them, and no one will be able to escape from its claws.

In addition, there are other unimaginable terrifying creatures in the depths of the forest, all kinds of monsters and monsters, and only some powerful mercenary groups will try to explore deeply and find opportunities to make a fortune.

Fortunately, this road only passes through the edge of the Demon Eagle Forest, and caravans often pass by, and generally there will be no magical beasts, at most they are just ordinary beasts.

After experiencing the initial brief loss, Lei Luo was close to the Warcraft Forest, which had surpassed the farthest place that Lei Luo had ever explored, but deep down, there seemed to be a trace of inexplicable excitement suddenly appearing?

It is as if the cells in the body that have been sleeping for more than ten years are cheering, excited that they are about to get out of the boring and monotonous life of the town, excited about the new life that is about to begin, eager to explore everything unknown outside, and see the vast world outside.

Lei Luo's steps seemed to have become brisk.

Now that I think about it, my original dream of believing in the God of Light for many years was not the desire to leave the town and go to an unknown place as a missionary.

"Hey, hey......"

In front of the dirt road, the shouts of several men could be heard in the distance.

Surprised, Lei Luo's steps quickened slightly, and after passing through the small bushes in front of him, several men carried a fat black boar prey, and walked towards Lei Luo head-on, rushing back to the town.

Lei Luo didn't know these people, they should be hunters from nearby villages, and the hunters smiled because of this harvest, and greeted Lei Luo from a distance after seeing them.

"Little one, go into the woods alone?"

This is a rugged man with a long beard, a head taller than Lei Luo, who stopped to rest for a moment while he took advantage of the greeting time to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The other two hunters sat down beside the boar, lit their cigarette sticks, and took out their jerky and chewed it.

"It's winter, and I'm still so fat!"

Lei Luo looked at the black boar, flattered, and responded, "Well, I'm going to St. Granburg." ”

"Haha, thanks to the favor of the God of Light, we were lucky enough to capture this big guy, and we are about to carry this guy to the church first and dedicate his fattest thighs to the priest!"

Hearing the words of the God of Light, the two hunters who were resting hurriedly made a prayer gesture, for fear that their disrespect would make them lose their good luck from now on, and Lei Luo also hurriedly made a prayer gesture.

Is it really because of the favor of the God of Light?

Does the God of Light really remember the self-sacrifice of every believer?

After laughing, he looked at Lei Luo's thin body, frowned and admonished: "Although this road only passes through the edge of the forest, there are generally no magical beasts, but the wandering beasts are equally dangerous, after a long winter, the beasts have come out to feed, you should be careful alone." ”

As soon as he left the town, he met a simple and kind kind hunter, and Lei Luo warmed his heart and said, "It's okay, I brought some veterinary medicine." ”

The so-called animal repellent is the local dialect of the hunters in Agate Town, which is made of powder from the feces of the monster, and the beast's sense of smell is very sensitive, and the hunters often sprinkle some around when they are resting in the forest to prevent danger.

Hearing that Lei Luo had brought the beast repellent medicine, the bearded man grinned and didn't say anything more.

After Lei Luo said goodbye to these people, he continued to walk forward, and after a while, he really walked into the Demon Eagle Forest, and there were few people to be seen.
