"You, you guy, in the name of the incredible goddess Fatima"

"If you dare to attack me with magic, if I dodge, your home may be burned down."

"Flames, ah, heat!"

Miguel's head was sprinkled with sparks as he suddenly interrupted the fireball cast overhead, and he hurriedly slapped it with his hand, but the smell of saffe still permeated.

It looks like it's a little burning, maybe it's going to be bald.

"Bastard!"

"Wow, that's dangerous!"

Kimble, the bearman, who was a year younger than me and had not yet participated in the lair departure ceremony, threw a stone from a distance of about 10 meters, and I immediately unfurled my shield.

The shield was broken by the impact of the stone, and Kimble's eyes widened as he looked at the stone lying on the ground losing momentum.

"You guy, if something like this hits head-on, it's not a joke. If you hit your eyes, you might go blind, no kidding! "

Maybe he didn't expect to be reprimanded by the cat man, Kimble showed a scared expression and took a few steps back.

Dales, the horseman who was holding the stone and was about to swing it, also stopped in fright.

Since throwing rocks at close range was really too dangerous, I was about to give him a harsher punishment than the last time I was blind, when a low voice came from behind.

"That's enough, little ones."

Miguel and the others noticed that Mr. Zeor, the tigerman, was looking down at them from the window next to the door, and immediately fled.

Actually, Miguel's house is here, where are they going?

"Your guy, wait for me to pass."

After pointing at me, Mr. Zeorr withdrew his face from the window.

I've also considered whether or not to run away, but if I do, it might be troublesome, and I might even get a chance to learn about body-strengthening magic.

With so in mind, I waited quietly.

Thinking that he would come out soon, Monsieur Danzior waited at the door for a while before opening it.

If the appearance of the cat man is like a cat walking on two legs, the appearance of the tiger man is like a roleplay of tiger ears.

If it's a cute girl, such an image should make people feel cute, but this short hair with white hair mixed with tea hair, strong enough to be almost two meters tall, and a fluffy foreigner with tiger ears and tail on his face, will only make people feel weird.

"Just sit down. I'll make you tea. ”

"Ahh

Mr. Zeor, the tiger man, seemed to be living alone in another room in the village chief's house.

In modern Chinese parlance, this 1K room is a middle-aged man, although it is not badly organized, but there are a lot of books.

In this world, movable type printing is just beginning to become popular, so books are still expensive items.

The expensive books were haphazardly arranged on the bedside rests, tables, chairs, and windowsills, where Mr. Zeorr usually sits.

"Do you like books?"

“？ Ah, yes, a bit of a surprise? ”

"Well, a little bit."

I picked up the book on the table, it was a travelogue about a trip to the far continent.

Since books are still expensive here, most of them are for expanding knowledge rather than for entertainment.

"In my previous job, I usually only trusted my own experience and the words of a reliable partner. I don't think it's necessary to have outdated knowledge like the one recorded in the book. ”

As he spoke, Mr. Zeorr took several bottles of tea from the cupboard and placed them in the teapot one by one.

In this world, tea leaves are usually used to make herbal teas, and tea lovers will mix them themselves to taste.

My family is very poor and has never drunk anything other than plain water, but the old lady Carissa at the pharmacy sometimes makes me some herbal tea to drink.

As I watched the old woman make tea, I could sense from Mr. Zeor's movements that he was not familiar with the process.

Put the tea leaves in the teapot, pour the water, and place them on the stove of the magic appliance.

The word "brewing tea" is not accurate, and "boiling" may be more appropriate.

The water in the teapot began to boil, and the room was filled with aroma.

Mr. Zeorr took a deep breath and tilted his head, smiling wryly.

It seems that the aroma is far from what he imagined.

The liquid poured into the large cup is a cloudy brown color that looks like medicated bath water.

Well, although it looks like that, if you try it, the bitterness suddenly hits the tip of your tongue, and it makes you feel like you're drinking herbal tea.

"It didn't live up to expectations, but it wasn't that easy."

"By the way, you may consider going to Granny Karissa in the house for advice."

"The old woman of the house?"

"yes, I often go there to sell herbs, and the tea she makes is delicious."

"yes, that sounds good. I'll ask her tomorrow. "

Mr. Zeore smiled and nodded, then took a sip of tea and frowned.

"So, is there anything you have to do?"

"Oh, by the way, the magic you use is interesting."

"Well, because it's an empty attribute, it feels a little different from the magic of the general attribute."

"What's that just one? Protection against stone-throwing? "

"That's the result of the practice I used to freeze the air, and I did it in a while."

Null magic is magic that freezes air, so I'm practicing to protect myself.

"Can you show me that?"

"Okay."

In response to Mr. Zeor's request, I released the shield.

However, both strength and thickness are kept to a minimum.

"I can't see it, but here it is, you can touch it."

"Oh, that's amazing, there's something there, but you can't see it at all."

"I have a very clear sense of where the shield is."

"Hehe, by the way, are you willing to be beaten by me?"

"No problem, but my strength is very low, don't expect too much."

I lowered the strength of the shield to keep him from suspecting, and then he threw a punch that shattered quickly.

The uncle fist who silently shouted in his heart for the role play of tiger ears! , but I'm still keeping it a secret.

"It's really fragile, but when I was protected from throwing stones, I felt stronger."

"Indeed, I feel that way when you say that. Is it because he senses danger that his strength has increased? "

"Probably. In other words, there may be some latent power hidden in you. "

"I see"

Although I thought it would be nice to leak too much, it seems that I succeeded in fooling the past by reducing the strength of the shield.

"Although you ask me to show it, as an adventurer, you can't easily expose your hole cards."

"Are you an adventurer, can I be an adventurer too?"

"What are you talking about? Gather herbs, catch forest rats, and earn rewards and bounties. What you're doing now is the essence of an adventurer. "

"Ah, yes, I might look like a new adventurer?"

"That's right. A man who can catch fifteen forest rats in a single day will sooner or later be able to deal with enemies like goblins or orcs. "

"However, I'm a cat man, so my body won't grow like Mr. Zeor, a tiger man."

"So what? For example, the pterosaur was several times larger than me. "

While this may be true, isn't it a little strange to compare to whom?

"However, I can't use body enhancement magic either."

"I'll teach you this kind of thing."

"Ah, can I learn it too?"

"I can't guarantee it, but it should be no problem to use the magic of the empty attribute to instantly create a shield or something."

"Really"

Mr. Zeore grinned, then nodded.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Hua Wuming."

"Hua Wuming, if you learn the body enhancement magic, where do you plan to use it initially?"

"Of course, it's to make yourself faster."

"Hahahaha, good, qualified. Most people will say that they want to make their fists stronger, or speed up their swords, but adventurers must have such intentions if they want to survive. Lifting speed is the right choice. "

Mr. Zeorr stood up with a smile on his face, patted me on the shoulder, and complimented me.

Hey, it hurts, it hurts, the difference in physique is too great, is it okay to be a little lighter, uncle?

From that day on, Mr. Zeorr began to instruct me in the use of physical enhancement magic.

At first, I gave guidance every evening, but as I got used to it, I changed it to once every three days.

"Why do you spend so much time instructing me, though?"

"I heard that you catch forest rats every day, and you had some arguments with Miguel, which I thought was funny, so I decided to help you."

"Interesting?"

"That's right. It's a good village, but it's also boring. Everyone spends each day in silence according to the rules of the village. While tranquility and stability are nice, there is also a lack of change and boredom. "

"So, am I just your tool to pass the time?"

"Hahaha, you can say that, so to speak."
