Noon on the same day.

Lindsay finished her lunch on time and was given a small bag of old copper coins.

According to the cultivation method of life essence, he looked at his attribute panel.

After the entry of [Life Essence], a new experience bar was added, but the progress was imperceptible.

"The cultivation of essentia is not as good as learning words, it is a long grinding effort."

Lindsay sighed, and then went out with the copper coin.

Although Hongyue bought a blanket and snowshoes two days ago, it was absolutely not enough for Lindsay to use in winter.

So it was a little trial.

She asked Lindsay to take the money and go alone to a hidden border town to buy the supplies she needed.

The red moon indicates that someone is buried today.

She has to guard the cemetery and take care of the dead, and she can't leave easily.

At the door of the chapel, Red Moon watched Lindsay's figure disappear on the road, eventually disappearing.

But the minutes passed.

She did not return to the chapel behind her, but stood in the doorway, silently waiting for something important.

Half an hour later, the expected guest arrived.

Two middle-aged men, a man and a woman, and an elderly gentleman, emerge from the road leading to the town.

They walked steadily, and soon arrived in front of the Red Moon.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Red Moon."

"Hello, Lord Lord, Finn, Dan."

Red Moon greeted the three people in front of her.

In order, they are Anrui, the lord of the town, Finn, a botanist who takes care of the crops, and Dan, the captain of the hunting party.

"You don't have to be so outside, just call me Anrui."

The lord of the town gave up, and Red Moon ushered them into the chapel.

The four of them sat down separately and kept a distance of at least 2 meters from each other, and a tacit argument began.

As a local lord, Anrui was the first to speak:

"Everyone also knows that since the cut off from the outside world, the town has started to run out of manpower."

"And let's be honest, we don't have the kind of organizer who runs everything by himself."

"So in order to maintain the proper order, and for the sake of everyone's normal life in the future. I think this young man who came here unexpectedly should follow me to learn the art of war in order to deal with possible crises in the future. ”

The lord of the town was dressed in coarse cloth.

Although he is no longer young, he is energetic and athletic.

While sitting upright, he also hung a silver wine jug around his waist, and after finishing speaking, he looked at the other three with a smile and a heartfelt confidence in his expression.

But soon, Dan, the captain of the hunters sitting next to him, couldn't help it.

Although the hunter was a lady, she was not weak at all:

"Head, I usually support you. But this time, I feel like you should give up the people to me! ”

"It's been a long time since there has been no fresh blood joining the hunting team, and if this continues, the food income from hunting will definitely become less and less. The grouse you were going to last night was the one I found in a trap far to the north! ”

An Rui, who was still smiling just now, immediately darkened his face.

He slammed the chair of the chapel with his hand, and the man stood up directly:

"Hey, didn't that grouse be eaten by your baby to celebrate?"

"And on this year's harvest day, there are only three people in the entire town who have become awakened, and yours is the one!"

"You're still not satisfied, and you want to come with me to rob someone?"

The huntress turned her face and rolled her eyes.

She no longer confronted her lord directly, but she still said stiffly:

"My son is very suitable for our family's ancestral skills, and I will never let him follow my old path and become a hunter who can only drill into the woods."

"Who's in charge of your house?"

An Rui scolded Dan again, and then looked at the red moon who was speechless.

He knew that this was the point in deciding where the new Awakened would go.

"Red Moon, I know he has become your godson."

"But I promise you, that boy can stay with me, and I will teach him the best I can!"

The elderly nun recounted in a flat tone:

"Lindsay is a self-awakened person, highly talented, and the possessor of the essence of life."

"Then he should follow me!"

Hearing the terms self-awakening and life essence, An Rui almost jumped up from the spot without excitement:

"It's the same life essence as me, and it's also a self-awakening! Oh, my God! As long as he embarks on the road of war, I will definitely teach him all my money, and ensure that his skills will be sublimated five times and achieve achievements unimaginable to ordinary people! ”

An Rui looked at the three people around him, and said in an accentuated tone:

"And you think about it, with that kind of guarantee, even if I die of old age in 50 years. With this kid here, the town will be able to hold out for at least another two hundred years! ”

Among the various types of essentia, the life essentia is the only one that can increase the lifespan at an early stage, which is of great significance.

Hearing this, Hunter Dan immediately muttered beside him:

"Stage 5? Such a genius is placed in the base camp of the war school, and I am afraid that even the seventh stage of Narke Bondek's martial arts training is willing to teach it personally. Sublimating the skill five times, what is an achievement beyond ordinary people? ”

An Rui had a keen sense of hearing, and immediately glared at him with a fierce look:

"Dan, how many times have your hunting skills been sublimated?"

The huntress replied with confidence:

"Three times!"

"Then you can shut up, he won't be a hunter who is a forest guest with a ceiling!"

"Don't want to get a piece of jerky on your manor for the next month!"

"You threaten me?"

"Where do you let me hunt in winter!"

"Where's your skill!"

"It's only been sublimated 3 times, of course you can't hit the prey!"

Outside of the two people who quarreled with each other.

Finn, a botanist, is an old man with gray hair.

He looked at Anrui and Dan, who were arguing, rubbed his temples, and showed a gentle wry smile to Sister Red Moon:

"Ms. Hongyue, I just hope that my knowledge inheritance will not be cut off here."

"And everyone in the town also needs the healthy growth of food."

Hear the good old man Finn open his mouth to join the fight.

Anrui immediately jumped out of the quarrel and hurriedly objected to Finn's second half:

"Finn, haven't you already improved the new crop?"

"As long as the townsfolk cultivate well, the grain you produce at your level will definitely not be a problem to feed here. Besides, the cultivation of crops is based on people's own hard work, and the ability of the school of life is only an auxiliary. ”

Finn nodded in acknowledgement, but still didn't want to give up:

"But Anrui, I really want to pass on my skills."

"After my teacher set out from here decades ago, I am the only inheritor of his knowledge. If he doesn't come back, and I die here, there will be no one to inherit this skill. ”

Anrui has a very different view on this:

"We're all dead, and your teacher won't die."

"Those brave people who went to the opposite side of the Great Hollow Cave are all ascended to the sixth or seventh stage, and their fate is hard!"

Finn's wrinkled face smiled wryly and stopped talking.

An Rui felt that he had the absolute upper hand at this moment, so he looked at Sister Red Moon again:

"You see, the needs of both of them can be solved. Only the continuation of the town really needs such talents the most. ”

Red Moon shook her head as always:

"My godson is still very young, and at this age he has only been exposed to the art of war...... Fearing that he would be irritable and vicious with a sharp weapon, he would be easily controlled by the arrogance brought about by force. ”

"You think I'll raise someone like that?"

Anrui simply thought this was unreasonable:

"If I'm really controlled by desire, then I'm going to take that kid away today, and who in the whole town can stop me?"

Red Moon replied in a smooth tone:

"You're a good guy. But the growth of a child is more than that. ”

"I'd rather not be a good person!"

An Rui also had no choice but to take the nun in front of him.

He took the silver kettle from his waist and poured a sip of wine. Then he sat back in a chair in the chapel and squinted his eyes.

At this point, the three of them basically confirmed that the purpose of the trip ended in failure.

After all, Sister Red Moon's attitude was too firm.

Everyone is a companion who shares weal and woe and relies on each other in the hidden frontier, and no one wants to make a big contradiction over this kind of thing.

But just when the three of them were about to give up, Hongyue suddenly spoke:

"My godson is a very intelligent child, gifted, and you can teach him separately."

"If he's really willing to take a certain path, I'm sure he'll make the right choice."

There was silence in the chapel.

The three Awakened Ones, sitting in three corners, were lost in thought at the same time.

In normal times, out of pride in their skills, they would certainly not accept such an offer.

But right now, the town is struggling to make ends meet.

and the respective needs.

But they had to seriously consider this choice.
