Chapter 16: Orochi
Standing in front of the huge flames, David stood there quietly, coupled with the golden light on his body that had not yet dissipated, thinking about himself at this time, he was very tall and handsome in Laura's eyes, right?
Just as he was thinking about whether to use the holy light to condense a word or pattern behind him, he was patted on the shoulder: "Okay, don't pose, it's already very handsome!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Helplessly glanced at Laura, the other party as if he hadn't seen anything, recovering the arrows that were still intact, as for those inserted in the monster's body, they should be turned into charcoal with the monster, and there is no way to recover them.
"Didn't you learn the Light with Tirio? How can the flames be released? "Laura knows that David learned the Way of Light from Tirio Ferdin, but the Light seems to be a light-like power, right? Could it be that David has some other power?
"This is the Sacred Fire."
"So ......"
"Sacred Fire is a skill that the priest can master after cultivating the Holy Light to a certain level."
David explained simply, this kind of divine fire is still a 'skill of the Holy Light system', not that he has mastered any new ability.
Although he also didn't understand that the so-called sacred fire was a flame imbued with the properties of holy light; Or does it look like a flame of light? Or maybe in some ways, there is no difference between the two.
"Oh!" Laura suddenly found that although she had searched for some information, she still didn't pay enough attention to the details, and it seemed that she had to continue to make up for the lesson when she went back: "This trick must be close enough to be used?" β
David was silent for a moment, and instead of answering Laura, he asked another question: "Don't you think this trick is handsome?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Laura didn't answer, David froze before he could answer, and finally the two tacitly skipped the topic.
After a moment of silence, the two of them looked at the corpse that could no longer be seen in its original form.
"Have you ever seen a creature like this before?" Although it was only a short period of contact, the size of the monster, the ferocity of attacking without any communication, and the defense power that seemed to be okay even if she was hit by several arrows made Laura realize the danger of this monster.
"Nope." David shook his head, he knew what Laura wanted to ask: "It's the first time I've seen this kind of monster since I came here, and I'm very glad that this monster hasn't broken out of the forest to attack the village in the past two years. β
If that really happened, he would never have stayed until now - even if he hadn't died or been injured in the monster attack, he would have simply left here and run back to Irontree as fast as he could.
After all, at that time, he was only a qualified new hunter, and it was impossible for him to fight against this kind of monster.
He was extremely glad to think of this, and felt that he was very lucky.
Because if you really run back to Iron Tree Castle, you may not be able to unlock your golden finger. After all, after seeing how dangerous the pioneer is, he will most likely honestly study other ways out, such as tinkering with strange things to make more money, and becoming a rich man in a relatively lively big city?
In that case, he'll be in the same way as he is now.
"It's dangerous!"
Laura also thought that David was saying that he had been neighbors with this kind of monster for more than two years without knowing it, and she also responded to the harmony: "Yes, I just don't know if there are many such monsters in the forest?" β
"Do you want to keep looking around?" David was also worried about this, if only one end was fine, if it was to live in a group, the danger would have to rise a few more steps.
"Of course." Laura is not a timid person, since they have come to the forest to investigate the situation, can they run away when they encounter some danger? In that case, she should return to her own world, after all, the Crawford manor will not be attacked by such monsters: "But then, use some more powerful weapons." β
Laura had carried the bow behind her back and replaced it with a shotgun.
Davy held the Raging Hunter pistol in his hand, which was best suited to large creatures.
Seeing that David only took a pistol, Laura carefully observed the surrounding situation while giving Davy her advice: "If your world is full of such huge monsters, I think you should prepare more weapons with more firepower." β
"If I could, I'd love to take a heavy cannon with me." Heavy firepower, of course, the more the better, if he can, he would like to open a few arsenals in Winter Village, and the banner on the gate of each factory reads: The more the merrier!
"Haha, it looks like you're almost done reading the book I brought."
"Of course, I'm very diligent."
David wasn't fooling Laura, he would read the books Laura brought every night, in addition to better improving his personality, but also because there wasn't much he could do at night, and reading books would make him fall asleep better.
"What do you want to see next?" In addition to the history books that Laura originally selected by herself, after David said that he was interested in the 'evolution of weapons' and 'interested in the details of a certain war', Laura went back to find the corresponding information books and brought them to David.
"Next time you come over, you can bring me some history books from Eastern countries."
"Oriental? I made a note of it. β
"If you can, bring some introductory language materials from there."
"You're going to read the original paperwork?" Laura reacted quickly and immediately understood David's intentions for these things.
"Yes, that's a better way to understand something."
"That's right." Laura, who is also fluent in several languages in order to study various ruins and ancient civilizations, agrees with David's words: "In this case, I may need to spend some time." β
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
The two of them chatted as they walked through the forest.
Because they were more cautious and had to leave markers along the way to avoid getting lost, the speed of the two of them was not too fast, and after the sky gradually darkened, the two of them finally stopped.
Not preparing to return, but they found a humble village.
Like the monsters I've seen before, there are even a few monsters that are even bigger and live here.
Looking at the crudely rudimentary houses or sheds made of trees and stones, David and Laura realized that these monsters possessed a certain amount of intelligence, but their lifestyles were relatively primitive and their intelligence did not seem to be high.
"Look there."
David was still counting how many monsters there were, and when he counted to eleven, he was lightly poked by Laura to remind him to look over there.
Following Laura's fingers, David realized why Laura had brought his attention over there: "It's the altar......"
Compared to the one I had seen before, this altar was very badly damaged, and only a small piece of the stone platform was missing, and if it weren't for the stone tablet being conspicuous enough, it would not be obvious that this was the kind of altar I had seen before.
"There are offerings on it."
"Hmm!"
David didn't ignore the huge corpse in front of the steleβa giant wolf with snow-white fur.
In addition to this giant wolf of astonishing size, he also saw several wolf corpses in the middle of the 'village', and it seemed that these monsters had eliminated a pack of wolves, and that giant wolf was most likely a wolf.
"Looks like these monsters have gotten rid of a problem." Laura and Davy come here to find and destroy the wolves, only to find that their work has been done for them.
"I'd rather deal with this pack myself." David grinned, although the wolves were gone, they were now in more trouble: "These trolls are much more troublesome than the wolves. β
At the same time, Davy has a very bad impression of this kind of monster, after all, as soon as the two sides meet, they want to attack him and Laura, even if they realize that the other party is an 'intelligent life', he is a little resistant to communicating with the other party.
"What's next?"
"Get out of here first."
David didn't think about what to do in this place, he and Laura were on the edge of the other party's village, and once the other party found out, these monsters swarmed up and launched a siege, even if he had the protection of the Holy Light, it would be a huge trouble.
Of course, he can launch a flare to ask Fording for help, but no matter how fast Fuding is, it will take time to get over, after all, Fording is only a paladin, not a mage who can teleport, and any accidents may happen during his hurry.
To be on the safe side, it is better to leave first, whether you want to try to communicate with these neighbors and then live together peacefully; Or use force to eliminate the other side. It needs to be done in absolute safety - in other words, to do it, but also to go back and call Fordin, fully armed and bring enough firepower.
Laura guessed David's thoughts, nodded in agreement, and carefully retreated with David, making sure that the two of them were out of sight of those monsters, and then returned according to the original route.
The two of them who successfully returned to the mine sighed in unison, there was no danger before they came to the mine, and there would be no danger in the next step.
However, unsurprisingly, something unexpected happened!
With a deafening roar, a monster that was stronger than the monster Davy had killed earlier appeared in front of the two of them, and charged straight towards them!
"β|'Oβ²|βε·~~"
With a deafening roar, a strange red light flashed on the troll's body, and the troll with scarlet light up and down completely ignored the blood flowers that kept blooming on its body, and rushed towards Laura firmly.
After releasing the shield of holy light, Davy found the troll charging at Lara, and shot the monster in the face to force the monster to slow down and move, and waited until the berserk hunter in his hand had poured six bullets in front of Lara.
Putting away the berserk hunter, David's hands were once again wrapped around the surging sacred fire, and the special move against the trolls that he had just developed not long ago appeared for the second time: "Look at the move, Libaibachi: Snake Nagi!" β
Laura: (γ'γΠγ Μ)!!
