Chapter 4: El's Struggle

The water in the iron pot had been boiling for a long time, and a large amount of water vapor came out, covering the room in a cloud of smoke. The water vapor condensed in his arm gradually cooled, causing Tika to shiver. She woke up and scrambled to lift the pot and pour boiled water into the tank.

As long as the correct epidemic prevention measures are taken to eliminate foreign sources of infection, the plague is actually not difficult to control. Thanks to El's efforts, the plague in the village did not spread further. After the patient drank the medicine, his condition stabilized significantly, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

In just half a month, the village lost eleven lives, but compared to the tragic situation in the city, it has to be said that it is lucky. It is not known how long the plague will last, and the villagers who survived are still very confused about the future. But these potions at least gave them the courage to live.

For some reason, Tika, who had the earliest contact with the source of the disease and usually took care of the most patients, had been safe and sound, and the people in the village regarded her as an ominous curse, but no one dared to chew her tongue in front of El. The last guy who spoke in front of him was smacked by his head and his face bloomed.

With El supporting herself, the girl immediately regained her vitality, and her little head became flexible.

Although the potion was bitter, some of the smell left on the glass bottle made Tika think about it. The occasional strange look on El also made her wonder.

Gao Fushuai is relatively speaking, although he is ashamed of himself in front of Tiana, but in fact, El has always been regarded as Prince Charming by the young girls in the village. Although it is not handsome and chic, after all, he has a good character, has real skills in his hands, and can be regarded as half a knight, and the temperament honed in the forest seems to be mature and reliable......

As a childhood sweetheart, Tika also once fantasized about getting this guy drunk in a bar and dragging him into the room to start a romantic story without shame...... Of course, fantasy is fantasy after all, and the girl's shame does not give her the courage to act.

Unable to accept the villagers' gratitude, El hurriedly stuffed a few mouthfuls of the potato stew from Tika and led the hunters into the forest again. The young man's heart is now only the figure of the stunning girl, where can he still feel the hearts of others.

Tiana's expression of wanting to speak lingered in his heart, and for some reason, he was very disturbed by a certain determination in the girl's eyes.

He didn't know why the girl stayed here, and all he could do for her was to collect those medicinal materials as soon as possible, and then rush back as soon as possible to provide her with as much help as possible.

"Girls have to learn to rely on men to do it, and it's not cute at all to look rigid. ”

El strained his face, but sighed in his heart.

He stopped, waved his hand to signal the team behind him to stop, and drew his bow and arrow with his backhand, the blue light in his eyes flashing away.

A quick arrow slashed through the jungle like lightning, nailing the big lynx hidden between the branches dozens of meters away to the tree. The force of the impact nearly burst the entire head of the great lynx, and the hapless beast died before it could scream.

This giant lynx is only slightly smaller than a cheetah, lives in trees, and feeds on monkeys and birds. Usually hiding in the tree and not moving, if you see a lonely small animal, you will pounce on it to hunt. Occasionally, it will snatch prey captured by humans, and has a cruel and cunning personality. It's a pity that this one ran into El, who had a fire in his heart, and he could only be considered unlucky.

"It's safe around here for now, but don't go too far, look around for the plants I mentioned, there should be some in the depression over there, be careful not to have accidents." El said to the hunters behind him.

The men in these villages were older than him, but by these days El had established himself in authority, and no one disputed it. Of course, also because El is the only "big hunter" in the village.

The Great Hunter is not just a simple title, but requires the qualification of the local lord of the rank of the Viscount, the status is similar to that of a knight in the army, and in the event of war, he will be conscripted to fight for the lord. After the disappearance of the lord of the village, he is the rightful leader.

Putting down his bow and arrows, he exhaled a breath of turbidity, and El cautiously watched the movement in the dense forest around him, and his heart quickly calmed down. He spread out his palm, and a strange blue translucent symbol was imprinted in the palm of his hand, slowly emitting an almost imperceptible shimmer.

A few meaningless twisted lines are combined into a whole with a deep meaning. If you look closely, the faint blue light seems to be still like a liquid, flowing slowly with El breathing.

This is Eyre's hole card, which allows him to keep a clear and cool head, to see through obstacles that block his vision, and to walk freely through the mountains and forests in the dark.

At the beginning of the rune - the name is "El", which means "insight"!

Although the old bard is down, he also has some skills to press the bottom of the box, one of which is the mysterious rune in front of him called "the beginning of the rune", which is also the origin of the name El was given.

Although in most cases, the old man relied on the magical ability of this rune to gamble with people in the tavern and keep a record of not getting drunk for a thousand cups. But in reality, this ability has unimaginable practicality.

The reason why "El" is called the beginning of the rune is because its most basic ability is to develop the mind!

The whole rune is made up of three symbols with different meanings, "observation" is responsible for collecting information, "logic" is used for analysis and arrangement, and "judgment" is finally formed into inferences.

This is the most basic mode of intelligent thinking, and at the same time, it is also the biggest difference between ordinary human beings and wise people.

To put it simply, a beast that acts only on the instinct of survival will always be a beast. But when it produces a "thinking mode", it also produces "intelligence", and thus evolves into another species - Warcraft.

With the rune "El", you also have a longer-term vision, clearer thinking, a calmer mind, and more rational behavior...... It derives more abilities, and El himself has explored six or seven in the past few years, and the "True Eye" that can find hidden targets is also one of them.

It is said that there are dozens of runes in this world, and each rune has magical powers. The rune "El" is exactly the premise of learning all the other runes.

El's eyes widened, and he used the power of the insight runes to quickly search around, but found nothing. His main focus was still on vigilance, and he didn't have much energy to look for herbs, so he could only give the others a general direction. Still, the harvest was not as good as it could have been.

The smell of blood from the big lynx soon attracted many uninvited guests, and three or four wild wolves wandered from a distance, feeling the power contained in El's arrow, and did not dare to step forward, but they were reluctant to give up, and their mouths let out a low whining. This furry wolf is not even a predator in the forest, and can only compete with hyenas and vultures for carrion and bones with their tails between their legs, but it is still a deadly threat to humans.

The areas where the herbs grew intensively were all in the mountains, and not to mention wasting time back and forth, the terrifying beasts in the mountains were not something that anyone else could withstand. Comparatively speaking, the edge of the forest, although the number of herbs is scarce, is at least safer.

As the afterglow of the setting sun fades behind the mountains, a shadow casts over the depths of the forest. The forest at night was much more terrifying than during the day, and El considered the gains and losses, but returned to the village with the team.

He had stayed in a tavern with the old man, but after it was burned down that night, El lived in the lord's mansion without any guilt. This house seems to be very classy, but in fact, it has not been renovated for more than ten years, and the actual value may not be worth the leather goods of his fifty gold coins.

The lord escaped in a hurry, and there were still a lot of soft things that he didn't have time to take away, and Tika had already helped him clean up in the past few days, and it looked like a home.

After taking the hot towel and wiping it on his face a few times, El sat down on the couch, he had run a lot of distances throughout the day, and he was indeed a little tired.

"The lord still has a lot of good things in his kitchen, would you like to eat something at night......?" Young Master?"

Tika blinked, and crept over to El, the candlelight reflecting on her flushed face.

"I'm a fart young master, uh...... Lady Tika?" El looked up and couldn't help but crack her mouth and laugh, this little girl didn't know where to dig out a maid outfit, put it on her body and began to act as a maid. Maybe it's because I've accumulated a lot of experience as a bartender before, and I imitate the same way in my movements.

However, the maid of the lord's family is also a character with status, and the villagers have to call "lady" when they see it, and Tika can imitate people's movements, but he can't imitate the trained etiquette and temperament, giving people the feeling of being like a little sparrow in a princess dress, which is very funny.

A small object smashed on his forehead, and El caught it, and found that it was a black ring, made of no metal, and it was cold in the palm of his hand.

"This is Daddy's stuff, and he exchanged it for a good bottle of wine to the boss a long time ago. I found it while cleaning the ruins of the tavern, and probably the owner didn't think it was worth much, so he threw it away when he left. Tika crossed her back in disgust, angry at El's ridicule.

"Didn't I tell you not to go to the tavern, to run around in good health, and to waste potions sooner or later. El grabbed the ring and took it with him, got up from the couch and twisted his waist.

"Do you have any stock of ham and cheese in the back kitchen? Grab me some more, I'll have to go into town later." ”

"But, it's so late......" Tika looked at the moon outside the window, "didn't you say there were no living people in the city?

"What are you doing in that damn place?" El pouted, a young girl flashing in his mind.

"I'd love to know. ”

"El!" Tika raised an eyebrow, walked to the back of the couch and pressed El's shoulder, "You told me not to run around!"

"Don't worry, Lady Tika, I've seen something more terrible than the plague. El smiled and patted the girl's head.
