It was winter six years ago when there was a lot of snowfall.

One hundred and twenty kilometers outside the royal city, in the small town of Antler Bay, there is a family.

In front of the humble dinner table, a family of three bowed their heads and remained silent.

The eldest was a middle-aged woman of forty-six or seventeen, with snow-covered hair and looked older than sixty.

I hold a handkerchief with several broken cuts in my hand, and I don't know how many years I have used it.

"This money, let's think of a way for my mother."

The young man in silver armor and armed with a sword clenched his fists tightly and said nothing.

There was a look of guilt between his eyebrows.

"Brother~"

Next to him, a petite and cute girl gently held his hand: "It's okay, money, when you become a big hero, you can earn it back."

Besides, didn't you always say that you weren't interested in women, and finally there was one you liked, and my mother and I will definitely help you make up the rest of the bride price. ”

The boy was silent for a long time, and finally he could only squeeze a hum sound out of his throat with difficulty.

It was only twenty years old.

He was one of the two prides of Wangcheng, but he was troubled by tens of thousands of gold coins.

"What's wrong? Zheng Sepi? Didn't you say you were going to get engaged? Why hasn't you been looking good lately? ”

Back at the Battle King Gate, as soon as he entered the training ground, Rorschach greeted him warmly.

The spear in his hand was eager to try, obviously because Zheng Sepi had been gone for three days, and there was no suitable opponent to train, and he was a little hungry and thirsty.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Zheng Sepi didn't talk nonsense, pulled out the sword, and slashed it down lightly, slashing Rorschach back a few steps.

The surrounding apprentices exclaimed.

Rorschach is lv30, and at present, except for the newcomer Kachersky, no one is higher than him in the Battle King Gate.

Zheng Sepi actually stabbed lightly, and he parried with all his strength, but he was still chopped back a few steps.

"Shhhh Rorschach's gun trembled even in his hand.

His hand holding the gun loosened several times, which eased the tingling feeling in his palm: "You shouldn't be lv40, right?" Why is the tendon so strong? ”

Zheng Sepi turned around the knife a few times in a boring way, and finally the tip of the knife touched the ground: "Lv39." ”

"Huh? One level higher. ”

On Rorschach's excited face, the cold sweat betrayed the confusion in his heart.

With one arrow step, he counterattacked Zheng Sepi.

The messy rain of gunfire, like a hedgehog slapping at Zheng Sepi.

However, Zheng Sepi always held the knife in one hand, and easily parried while moving.

After only three or five moves, he was hit in the abdomen by Zheng Sepi with the handle of the knife and was knocked away again.

Six or seven back and forth, the AP exhausted Rorschach fell to one knee on the ground, spear in hand, gasping for breath.

"I can't win you." Rorschach shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You have made too fast progress, if you continue like this, you will definitely become a war king, right?" ”

Zheng Sepi put away the knife and said with interest: "I don't know, but you should be able to do it too, right?" We're only 9 levels shy of it. ”

"Don't make fun of me, it's said that we are two pride, and you don't know how big the actual gap is."

As he spoke, Rorschach, who had taken a breath back, stood up, stepped forward and hooked Zheng Sepi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Hey, then again, how are you and Xiao Xuan?" ”

"Okay." Zheng Sepi put the knife into the sheath, and his expression basically did not change.

Roxia Nunu mouthed: "It's so cold, how did you get into the daughter of the sect order by you with this kind of personality?" ”

"Who knows?"

Zheng Sepi said, and walked out the door: "Today I will patrol the street and leave first." ”

Rorschach stared at Zheng Sepi's back and smiled softly.

In this year, Zheng Sepi was in high spirits.

Everyone in the streets knows its name.

Lv39, the fiancé of the daughter of the Zongren Ling, a seeded player who was pinned on by the acting war king, once he rises to lv40, he is the youngest gold-level adventurer in eastern Sichuan.

But behind this glamorous and glamorous, no one knows Zheng Sepi's suffering.

Adventurers who aren't famous are bound to be rich.

Zheng Sepi has no interest in fame and fortune, and he has no interest in women.

When he was six years old, Zheng Sepi's father was buried in the snow forever in order to protect Antler Bay.

The father was just an ordinary soldier.

But his spirit of diligence and thrift has forever carved a brand in Zheng Sepi's DNA.

My father died to protect his family and protect the people.

From that year on, Zheng Sepi vowed to carry on his father's last wishes.

Eliminate the monsters and protect the people until death.

"I said, brother, can't you just be like an ordinary boy and think about some lustful things in your head?"

"I'm not interested in women."

"No, I mean, you're going to have to start a family, right? We're just a man in our family, although I admire you a lot, and I won't pour cold water on your determination, but... But what you're doing is so dangerous, I'm afraid you'll be... If it's the same as Dad, our family... Our family is doomed. ”

As her sister spoke, she muttered, "If it weren't for the ethical work, I wouldn't mind giving birth to you." ”

"What is this? Urging marriage? ”

"How do you call a marriage urge? I just hope that my brother doesn't have to work so hard and can have the same happiness as ordinary people. Of course, if my brother doesn't want to, then I can't help it. ”

My sister used to say such things before, and Zheng Sepi has always taken it to heart, but she has never found a girlfriend.

Because career is the most important thing.

But later, the name of Wangcheng Shuangjiao spread, and even reached the ears of Xiao Baoguo, the sect of Wangcheng at that time.

Soon, Xiao Baoguo handed Zheng Sepi an olive branch.

At first, Zheng Sepi wanted to refuse.

But on second thought.

Sister Zheng Ning'er's expectant eyes.

Mother peels sweet potatoes on the kang alone.

Think about the ferocious monsters out there.

If I die, they and my relatives will be alone.

For the strong, death is nothing to be afraid of.

But family is a concern that Zheng Sepi can't let go.

Zongren Ling took a fancy to my reputation as the pride of the royal city, and hoped that I could join their family and make their disciples more prosperous.

And my sister's future and the second half of my mother's life need to be taken care of.

Zheng Sepi finally thought twice and accepted the olive branch.

After that, he met the daughter of Zongren Ling, Xiao Xuan.

At first, the two got along very well.

Xiao Xuan has a gentle personality and is obedient to Zheng Sepi.

Every time she goes out on a mission, she offers fragrant kisses.

Every time she came home late at night, she would prepare a table full of hot meals.

Zheng Sepi, who was not interested in women, even felt that he was too wrong before.

It turns out that the so-called happiness of ordinary people is such a warm feeling.

But......

"If you want to marry my daughter, at least come up with a bride price of 60,000 gold coins."

"Huh? Bride price? ”

When Zongren Ling said this in the hall, Zheng Sepi was stunned.

To be honest, he never thought about the bride price.

As an adventurer, as a warrior.

Zheng Sepi didn't have much interest in money.

In addition to his own equipment, medicines, and cultivation needs, more money is spent on some companions who can't afford medical treatment and equipment.

After all, many of the soldiers around them do not have a high income, and sometimes when they go to the battlefield, the knives they hold collapse as if they have been gnawed by dogs.

Zheng Sepi didn't want them to die on the battlefield because the equipment and medical care couldn't keep up, it would be too unjust to die like that.

Therefore, they will often pay out of their own pockets to provide some fighters with new equipment or corresponding healing medicine.

In the past few years, Rorschach has saved 200,000 yuan, while Zheng Sepi only has 20,000 or 30,000 savings.

60,000 gold coins stumped this double pride for a while.

However, Zongren Ling said, "What? Don't you think that if I extend an olive branch to you, you won't have to pay for anything, right?

The bride price is sincere, 60,000 yuan, which is already very cheap for our royal relatives, if you don't want to, break it off with my daughter as soon as possible.

Wangcheng has never lacked geniuses! ”

When Zheng Sepi discussed the matter with Xiao Xuan privately afterwards, Xiao Xuan's answer became Zheng Sepi's first step on a desperate road.

"Is sixty thousand a lot? Oh, you just have to think of a way, Zheng Zheng, you are the pride of Wang Cheng, it's easy to earn 60,000 gold coins, right? Wouldn't it be better to take on a few critically dangerous missions?

My dad said, we have been talking for too long, we can't delay it any longer, if you can't come up with 60,000 next month, he will help me find other candidates, and he already has a candidate.

So, I'm not in a rut, you can figure it out for yourself. ”
