Chapter 20: On the Way to Irontree Castle

With the small round cakes slowly emerging from the horizon, the sky gradually brightened. David, who had already packed up and finished breakfast, carried his packed bag.

Because he was carrying a backpack, he had to hold the hunting bow in his hand, which was also convenient for him to respond in time when he encountered danger.

Laura's backpack is much smaller than David's, which allows her to hang the hunting bow on the outside of the backpack without having to hold it alone by hand, and it is convenient for her to use at any time.

In addition to bows and arrows, Laura used to have two pickaxes around her waist, and Davy had a hand axe stuck in her waist.

It was the two of them ostensibly armed, with a pistol hidden under their clothes, and a shotgun hidden on the side of Laura's backpack. Coupled with the fact that David is already an excellent priest of the Holy Light, the safety of the two of them along the way is still guaranteed.

Saying goodbye to Fording and Mark, David and Laura set out on their way to Irontree Castle......

An hour later.

Stepping along the river through the lightly scented green meadows, Laura felt that the trip was more like an outing: "If the backpack wasn't so heavy, it would be more like it." ”

"Let's just go out on an outing! It's also boring to stay in the village all the time. ”

Not to mention people like Laura, who are never idle, David can't stand it anymore, especially in the first two years, when there was little hope.

It was only in the last few months that David had lived comfortably and hopefully, so he stayed in the village.

After chatting and walking for a long time, David didn't know how far the two had walked, but he felt that at this speed, he might have to arrive at Irontree Castle earlier than he had expected.

Whether it is David or Laura, their physical strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and there is no large army to drag them down, so the speed of progress is quite fast.

After walking for nearly a day, David decided to stop and prepare for the night, while the sun had not really set and the light was still sufficient.

"Let's rest here today."

David looked around, the terrain was very flat, the grass was all green, there was basically no shelter from the wind and rain, but there was a gravel beach by the river, and there was an option to make a fire here.

As for the firewood, David chose to stop here precisely because there were a few crooked-necked trees next to it, and just a few wrist-thick branches would be enough for them to spend the night.

"I'm going to catch some fish in the river for dinner." Laura put her backpack on the ground and walked with David towards the trees, "I need some tools, though." ”

Watching Laura pick a stick more than a meter long and then sharpen one end into a spike with a dagger, David understood that Laura was going to use it to tie the fish.

"Don't you have a hook?"

"It's not as convenient as this thing." Laura examined her work and nodded with satisfaction: "I'm going to catch fish!" ”

David nodded his head and continued to collect firewood, because he was focused enough, David quickly completed his work, collected enough firewood, and returned to the temporary camp that had been set earlier.

On the gravel beach, a bonfire had been built with stones, and two other processed fish were placed not far from the campfire.

"Laura?"

David looked left and right, but he didn't see Laura, was he still in the river and didn't come out? After walking a few steps towards the river, David found Laura's clothes, shoes and socks, and just left them there.

“……”

He shouted again, and before David could decide whether to look on either side or go back to the campfire and roast the fish first, there was the sound of water right in front of him.

Laura, who came out of the river, wiped her face and greeted David excitedly: "It's very comfortable in the water, don't you come down and take a shower after a day's walk?" ”

"Ah...... This ......"

What a tempting suggestion it sounds, especially since the person who sent him the invitation was the famous Laura, who was a world-famous adventurer in his previous life, a goddess in the minds of countless people, and the search popularity of some websites has been at the top of the list all year round, steadily suppressing another goddess known as the Holy City.

"What? Are you shy? Laura swam closer to shore and looked at David's expression in a very interesting way.

"How is that possible!" David defended with a straight face: "I just didn't bring a swimsuit." ”

Laura smiled and winked at David: "I didn't bring it either!" ”

Poof! Explode a nice splash......

"David and Laura shouldn't have had a good time along the way, right?" Mark served pasta, ate a hot stew, and played a TV series on his laptop on the table — brought by Laura, of course.

Ferdin, who was sitting side by side with Mark, had already finished the stew in front of him, and he didn't get up to serve another one for himself, but sat in his place and watched the TV series called Band of Brothers with Mark.

"David had come all the way to this place before, and it wasn't a strange experience for him." It took a while for Fording to answer Mark's question: "Laura doesn't lack this kind of experience in the wilderness. However, the road must not be easy......"

The big fish, which was originally fat, lay on the gravel, watching itself gradually lose weight, so thin that only one skeleton remained, and then completely abandoned.

Wuzi's eyes widened as if he was complaining to the man and woman next to him, but unfortunately, both men and women didn't look at it at all at this time, and were frantically fighting for the last bit of fish in each other's mouths.

In the fierce confrontation, the last piece of fish meat was completely wiped out, and neither of them knew who would win in the end, or maybe both sides would be the winner.

"I knew you had been hungry for me for a long time." Laura's actions were obviously premeditated, and David looked up at the starry light in the night sky and sighed: "Boys really have to protect themselves outside, especially a handsome and strong boy like me." ”

Laura looked at David's sloppy expression, rolled her pretty eyes, and complained, "I don't see how you look like a child." ”

Glancing at the clothes thrown by the fire, David's soaked clothes had already been dried, and then turned over to look at the sky: "The night sky here is so beautiful. ”

David didn't answer, just spread out his arms as a pillow while picking up clothes from the side and covering Laura.

"When I'm at home, I can't see such a beautiful starry sky at night." The conditions in the modern world to see a night sky full of stars are too harsh, and it is impossible to see so many stars in the city or even in the suburbs.

David didn't say anything, just listened to Laura quietly, but he didn't expect Laura's next sentence to make him feel excited.

"You should feel something similar, right?"

"Huh? Why? David pretended to be stupid......

Laura turned her head to look at David, and was greeted by David's innocent and 'pure' eyes, and if his hands were so pure, Laura might have believed it.

However, Laura did not continue to dwell on the topic, perhaps she felt that the answers she had forced to ask, whether true or false, were useless.

Since David doesn't want to talk about it now, let's talk about it later!

Closing his eyes, the day was over, and David saw that Laura was asleep, and he closed his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, the sky was already bright, the sun had already risen high, and the two of them needed some time to tidy up, and by the time they set off again, it was almost noon.

"You should set an alarm."

Laura felt that she was getting up a little late, which would affect her hurry; David didn't think there was anything wrong, he had consumed so much physical strength yesterday, and he had to rest more to recover. If you are not physically fit enough to force you to walk, not only will you not be able to walk too much, but you will also be prone to injury.

"I'm strong." Laura made a toning pose as she walked, wanting to show off her biceps brachi, which can kill a cow with one punch, and then suddenly glanced at David, and a strange smile appeared on her face: "Is it ......?"

"Don't you know my physical fitness?" Not to mention that he himself is a hunter who makes a living by hunting wild beasts, since learning the way of light from Ferdin, David's physical fitness has been improving, and now he can beat himself a few months ago with his bare hands.

Even so, he didn't see the end, and under the protection of the Holy Light, he seemed to be able to improve without limits, as long as he was willing to work hard. If he continues to practice like this, he suspects that he will soon have a body of steel, even if it is a bankrupt version!

"Speaking of the Light...... I envy you for being able to grasp the Light so quickly. Laura also learned about the Light from Ferdin, but like Mark, although she understood what the Way of Light was, she still did not receive the favor of the Light.

Do you have to do those things as Fordin said, in order to be recognized by the Light? But even if she wanted to help someone in need, no one needed her help now - the most difficult thing was Davy in front of her, who really helped a lot.

"If only you could share the light with me."

"What?"

"I said, if only I could share your light with me." Laura thought that David just didn't hear clearly, after all, the two of them were on their way: "I also want to feel what it's like to have mysterious powers." ”

Although she had already felt the effects of auxiliary spells such as the Holy Light Shield, the spells that were not released by herself only made her marvel at the effects of the spells.

When David heard this, he suddenly stopped and thought about Laura's words: "It doesn't seem like it can't be done." ”

"Huh?" Laura just said a few words casually, but she didn't expect David to really have this thought: "Are you serious? There won't be any problems, right? ”

"Probably not."

David pondered it for a moment, making sure that there was nothing wrong with his idea, because there was a group in the world of Azeroth that used the Light in this way.

Before coming to this world, David also manipulated his blood elf paladin to find a feng shui treasure in Azeroth!

"It's just that we'll have to study how to do this and try it when we get back from Irontree Castle."
