Hide remembered that it was the Pink Star Fruit that he had occasionally mentioned to the silver-haired female apprentice a long time ago, this kind of fruit was not common in the Western Ancient Continent, but the juice in it was extremely delicious, and it also contained a lot of natural power.

However, this fruit tree has always grown in extremely damp and rotten swamps, and few people are willing to go to the extremely rancid swamps to pick the pink star fruit, although it is still sold from time to time in the big cities, but during this time her group is in the wild, where to buy it? It can only be inferred that the silver-haired girl took the time to find it herself, no wonder Dess occasionally went out alone for a long time before returning to the camp.

When did he start drinking this delicacy that is hard to buy with money? Head doesn't remember exactly, but he remembers the first time he drank it, he casually complimented himself on his female apprentice, as if he had been drinking it ever since......

"Well, it was the same for more than a year before, and in the last five months or so......" Hade was a little distracted, thinking of the situation during this time when himself, Wella, and the silver-haired girl went out to practice in the wild.

On each occasion he was responsible for finding suitable camps and taking on the light work of keeping guards, and the highest-ranking Wella was also not good at cooking, although most of the prey was hunted by the wolf fighters, but everything was left to the silver-haired female apprentices.

As if it were taken for granted, he and Werner sat outside the camp and discussed the day's cultivation, occasionally chatting about interesting stories about the wolf fighters, sometimes Wela would mention some affairs between nobles and the duties of the clans to Hide, the two would occasionally discuss future arrangements, and even the red-haired duchess would tell Hide some interesting stories about his younger siblings in the family when he was in a mood. The two spent more than an hour chatting indiscriminately.

The tall, silver-haired girl was silently doing a lot of things at the back of the camp. He and the red-haired countess only knew that after a period of rest, Des would offer to bring delicious steaks and vegetable rolls. The dry food that was originally dry and hard has been soaked in the fragrant broth, which is soft and delicious, and the delicious juice often makes the two of them casually say a word or two, Desi, your craftsmanship is really good. This is a delicious and unintentional compliment.

When she heard these words, the silver-haired girl would whisper xiexie, then lowered her eyes and continued to eat silently, occasionally raising her eyes to see herself and Wella chatting about various topics while eating, and then she would silently clean up the dishes and be responsible for cleaning.

"Hmm...... , For such a long time, I haven't even washed my underwear by hand......" I think of the dirty laundry I threw in the tent, and when I get up the next day, I always see that it has been cleaned and hung on the side of the tent and is very dry. It was a hot time, and Dess used to keep vigil close to the early hours of the morning......

What did you say to Dess during this time?

Desi, block that side!

Des, kill that guy!

Well done, Des.

Des ......

In the high-level "Connection Boundary System", even in many cases, the silver-haired female apprentice immediately understood what to do, relying on her huge and tough body after becoming a giant, to block the onslaught of countless monsters. Many times, Hide and Wella will use her body as a point of strength, kicking her shoulders and arms without sparing, attacking other enemies from the dead end.

After the battle, the silver-haired female apprentice who served as a meat shield often carried some minor injuries on her body. Well, with her current strength, those are really just skin injuries. Even in less than half a day, it can automatically recover under the greatly improved body function of the source force activation, and there will be no scars left.

Sometimes Head will come forward and care about two sentences. But Dess always whispered that it was okay.

“...... But that's going to hurt......" Hade sighed deeply, it was true that these things were inevitable in battle. For a silver-haired girl who aspires to be strong enough to kill all the monsters, fighting is the right thing to do, it's normal to get hurt, and maybe even think that all this is what she should do.

Hade remembered that the ghost python leather armor specially made for Des had two sets of tattered and scrapped, which were high-grade leather armor made of seventh-order and eighth-order ghost python skins, and you can imagine how many battles Des has experienced in the past few months, and how many traumas she has suffered.

Wiping his face deeply, Hade raised his hand and slapped himself.

“...... It's a good deal, a inheritance that is simply obtained without hard work, in exchange for such a loyal and considerate apprentice. Hade rubbed the right side of his face that was a little swollen, he didn't know how the other mentors treated his apprentices, but was this really normal?

Yes, these seem to be trivial things, maybe in the eyes of many people in the Western Ancient Continent, this is normal, the apprentice is the tutor's helper and servant watchdog, and of course you have to pay the price if you want to learn the skill, which is normal.

But Hede is not the kind of cold-blooded guy who has long been accustomed to the concept of absolute superiority, and has no feelings, at least, he still has the sensibility of a human being for certain things.

I remember someone saying that women are often moved by small things, but men are the same.

Turning her head to look at the image on the magic mercury bubbles, the preparation of lunch was complete, and the silver-haired girl picked up the cabbage rolls and steaks that had been placed in the box to keep them hot, and walked towards Hide's room.

Having lifted the magic mercury scout bubble, Head sat down at the flat table in the room, waiting for the silver-haired female apprentice to arrive.

Eating silently as always, Head picked up a piece of meat chop with a fork and put it in his mouth, savoring the rich and refreshing taste, remembering Des's meticulous cooking techniques before, no wonder he felt extremely unpalatable when he ate the breakfast provided by the inn in the morning.

"Today's juice is a little ...... thicker", Hade casually mixed the pink star fruit juice in his cup with the white water in Des's cup, "This should be more refreshing, try it"

Des was slightly stunned for a moment, and obediently took the cup and took a small sip.

The girl always seemed to be a little restrained in front of her, and halfway through eating, Hade couldn't help but speak: "By the way, Desi, how did you practice your cooking skills, and the common meat steaks are so delicious, have you ever learned from others?"

Hesitated. The silver-haired girl said softly: "Because of my habits when I was a child, I couldn't squeeze out too much money to buy ingredients. So I tried my best to make the ordinary materials delicious, and after a long time, I practiced it naturally. ”

"Oh. "Hear her say that. Hade thought of Des's background, since he was a child, he was self-reliant, and he had to do many things by himself, and he was indeed a typical hard-trained genius.

Smacking his lips, Hide didn't want to say anything more, and the two of them settled the delicious lunch almost at the same time. Head took out the three pieces of information he had purchased, unfolded the map of the Golden Tomb ruins, and began to explain the recent arrangements.

"There are a lot of ogres and tin apes in these areas, and it is a coincidence that there are also gathering places of strange apes in the middle area, and these magical beasts are on average from the sixth to seventh order. Well, it is said that there are these types of eighth-order demonic beasts in the depths, but now the strength of the two of us will be difficult to deal with if we rush over. ”

"All I plan to start from here, stay in this area for five or six days, and then go here to hunt high-level slimes near the entrance to the sewers of the original city, and from the intelligence, there should be a large number of seventh-order slimes here. We'll stay here for about five or six days, and then we'll see if there's a chance to go inside. ”

After a rough run, Head paused and asked, "What do you think?" Although he felt that the silver-haired female apprentice had always been at his own disposal and would not give any opinion.

But to his surprise this time, Des shook his head: "Mentor." I think it's better to go hunting in the slime colony first. ”

“...... What about Weishenme?" asked Head, somewhat surprised.

"Mentor, the crystal nucleus reserves required for my cultivation inheritance are still relatively sufficient, and it is relatively easy to obtain from hunting in other regions, and there are still a lot of crystal nuclei left over from the crystal nuclei you collected through the alliance last time. Enough for me to take for more than two months. However, the slime nucleus that you mainly use to accompany the recipe should have less than ten days of reserves left. ”

Hold was silent, as Dess said. Although the cultivation in the wild in the past few months has improved him very quickly, almost all the various sixth-order slime crystal nuclei that he originally collected have been consumed. Even though a small number of mid- to high-tier slimes were occasionally found and hunted at the edge of the ruins, they still didn't save much.

"I'm sorry. Mentor, I know it's not appropriate to snoop on the skin you've been using to hold the crystal nucleus, but ......" The silver-haired girl seemed to misunderstand what Hide meant by silence, and explained in a bit of a panic.

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal. "According to my estimate, in about fifteen days, the Golden Tomb may have some changes, well, that is, the first day of January of the new year, the celebration day of the original Titan Empire begins, and in the following month, the Golden Warrior Guards distributed in the ruins during this time period will reduce the range of movement, and we can try to dive into the palace from the sewers to explore it." ”

Des looked at the map on the table: "Then we can hunt high-level slimes at the entrance to the sewers, and at the same time explore them properly, so we don't have to go to the other side of the ruins." ”

"Okay. Hade scratched his head, he was also a little emotional before, and wanted to prepare enough crystal nuclei for Des first.

"Speaking of which, we've talked about similar things before," said Head, sitting down as Dess carefully sorted out the map of the intelligence into a specially made waterproof leather bag.

"Des, do you have any plans for the future?"

The silver-haired girl was a little puzzled: "I feel that I am still far away from my goal, and following the mentor can not only improve my strength more quickly, but also learn a lot of things, for example, there are many magical beasts here that I have never heard of, but the mentor is very familiar with their various information." ”

Of course, Hade couldn't explain the reason for this, so he changed the topic and said: "Actually, your current strength has already broken through the sixth order, and it is not too far from the seventh order, you should be able to get an independent noble status, if you have this idea, I can recommend it to Her Excellency Wella, she also admires you quite a lot, we have discussed the matter of letting you enter the army." ”

Des shook her head slightly: "I'm not suitable to serve in the army." ”

"Then you can also become a pro-guard type of nobleman, and you will also have a more suitable status. ”

"Mentor, I just want to continue to strengthen myself until I am strong enough to protect the lives of myself and the people I value, and to be truly strong enough to easily defeat them in the face of king-level demonic beasts. For the first time, the silver-haired girl accurately stated her own ideals.

Although Des's ideals sounded a little vague and a little paranoid, Hade thought of a lot of her past and nodded slightly: "I know, I will do my best to help you achieve your ideals."
