Chapter 54: Chatting by the River

In the hot afternoon, the insects chirp.

On the banks of the clear valley and the great river stands a makeshift camp for adventurers.

"Follow my movements and connect what you just learned~"

Talia held a wooden stick in both hands and slashed upwards with a neat stride.

An Ling brandished the holy sword and made this movement aside.

"Yes, it's pretty standard, but it's still a little unsmooth."

Talia gave a thumbs of approval, holding the stick against her shoulder.

"I can't figure out how to make the movements smooth."

"Maybe I need to practice a few more times~"

An Ling said calmly, and then began to repeat the newly learned movements just now.

After entering the Howling Rift, Anling asked Talia for swordsmanship instruction that night. As a result, I didn't expect that this red-haired girl, who usually likes to scold An Ling from time to time, agreed without hesitation.

Because the earth dragons are all dead, everyone needs to walk in the rift valley under the sun, and there are priests and mages among the five, so they can't walk for a day, at noon, they will always stop and rest for three or four hours, and at night they will spend a little more time hurrying.

In the leisure time belonging to the Iris Adventure Group at noon, it is just right for An Ling and Talia to practice swords.

Although she uses a one-handed straight sword, she also knows the swordsmanship of a big sword, according to Talia, her family says that the nobility of the sword, the sword art has been inherited for hundreds of years, and An Ling definitely earns it after learning it.

"I feel...... Your sword skills still need to be honed in actual combat. ”

Talia shook her red hair and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead.

"If you practice against the air like this, you have to repeat it at least a thousand times."

"Damn! Why don't you seem to have any swordsmanship foundation at all, how did you become a silver great sword swordsman! You didn't use any other weapons before, did you? ”

When Anling fought before, she always played bravely, she couldn't see it, and she taught hand-in-hand these days. Talia was surprised to find that the powerful young man in front of her had almost no foundation in swordsmanship.

It was hard not to wonder what to do.

An Ling made a few more sword moves, and then said to Talia helplessly:

"There's no way, I'm just an ordinary village boy, uneducated, and when I come out on an adventure, I just take a big sword and come out."

Talia snorted.

"Hmm~ nonsense, didn't the teacher who took you on the path of magic teach you any combat skills at all?"

"Anyway, no."

An Ling smiled generously and didn't want to say anything more.

The other party didn't believe it, and he didn't bother to continue to use his brain to talk nonsense.

Seeing that the young man in front of her didn't want to answer herself, Talia smacked her lips in boredom, yawned and said:

"Maggie, why haven't they come back yet, it's been so long."

At this moment, the other three of Iris are not in the camp, but have gone out to hunt for food. In the rift valley, which is so rich in mountain and forest resources, there is no need for a few people to gnaw on unpalatable dry food.

Anyway, there are a set few hours of rest in the middle of the day.

An Ling waved the big sword and said:

"Sheena said that she saw a rare herb that needed to be picked, maybe because of this delay."

"That's right."

Talia nodded, looking at the scorching sun in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh slowly.

"It's so hot~ Why is it so hot here?"

An Ling waved his sword and said casually:

"If it's too hot, you can go to the river for a while, the water is very cool."

"Hmm~ Makes sense."

Talia wiped her sweat again, slowly unbuttoned her clothes, and took off the not cumbersome clothes on her body.

One, two, three......

It was only when there were only two conservative and lovely underwear left on her body that she stopped her movements and stretched her waist and jumped into the river.

"It's much more comfortable now~" Talia squinted and smiled, swimming happily in the river.

An Ling was unaware of the body of the girl Miaoman, and continued to practice his sword.

After adventuring together for so many days, the girls in the adventure group put down a lot of reserve and shyness in front of An Ling, and they were able to change their clothes in front of An Ling generously, or wipe their bodies with a towel, and they were only wearing two underwear.

Even a girl with a character like Talia can generously take off her clothes in front of An Ling and swim in the river.

Of course, this may also have something to do with An Ling himself being a good-looking teenager.

After playing in the river for a while, the red-haired girl became bored again.

I saw her slowly swimming to the shore, holding the river bank with both hands, and beckoning to An Ling:

"An Ling, you should rest for a while after practicing for so long. Drop by and talk to me. ”

Talia's personality is a bit contradictory, and when the others are around, Talia likes to show An Ling's stinky face, and she is easily shy. He seems to hate An Ling very much.

But when An Ling and Talia are alone, she becomes mischievous again, not only speaking in a very intimate tone, but also bold in various actions.

An Ling glanced at her, put away the big sword in his hand, slowly came to the shore, and washed his face with the cold river water.

"What are you talking about, Talia?"

"Let's talk about it~"

Talia propped her chin and asked An Ling:

"Anling, have you already confirmed your relationship with Sheena now?"

"What's the relationship?"

An Ling tilted her head, not quite understanding what she was talking about.

"Play stupid!"

Talia glared at An Ling, pursed her lips and said:

"It's a relationship, Sheena's love for you is so naked, haven't you never responded?"

“……”

An Ling was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer well.

His humanity is missing, and many things are unfelt and imperceptible. Therefore, there is no way to respond to it.

With his eyes rolling, An Ling could only shrug his shoulders and said softly:

"I feel like Sheena doesn't need my response, we're all getting along well now..."

"What's the answer?"

Talia rolled her eyes and shouted to An Ling:

"Anyway, I think you don't respond to Sheena, you just have bad intentions in your heart!"

An Ling blinked indifferently, smiled at her and asked:

"What's bad?"

"Humph!"

Talia snorted, tilted her chin and said:

"What bad intentions can a man have when he joins an adventure party with beautiful girls."

"You pretend that you don't understand anything, but in fact, you're happy early, can there be such a good thing?"

"Why are you happy?"

An Ling asked again.

There weren't many reasons for him to join the Iris Adventure Party, or even no reason, it was just a choice he made casually. If he joined the Iris Adventure Group for any pleasure, An Ling really couldn't see what kind of pleasure he could achieve with four girls.
