Chapter 42: Lucky Boy

Rick gives Blank a succinct account of what happened to them in the Forest of Irene.

Of course, there are certain secrets in the church that he will not tell.

He's not stupid!

The fat man in front of him, although his face was full of sincerity, was obviously trying to get useful information from him.

At this point, Rick is understandable.

After all, the Forest of Irene is indeed dangerous today, and getting a little more information can also give them a lot of chances of survival.

He also wanted to get the help of this adventure team, and properly disclose a little information to them, not only to avoid some unnecessary trouble, but most importantly, to make himself feel more at ease when he was helped.

One party has a heart, the other party has an intention, and the atmosphere in the field has reached a subtle harmony.

When Rick talked about the Knights' team being attacked by a panther, Lance, who had been listening quietly, suddenly came to his senses.

"Brother Rick, is the black panther you mentioned about about to approach the high level, and it is very fast, and it is extremely good at sneak attacks?"

Lance asked.

Rick was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this good-looking blonde kid to suddenly call him that.

It's not flattering, it's just a little stunned.

"Yes, how do you know?"

Rick asked, tugging at the corners of his mouth and giving an unnatural smile.

"I've been attacked by it, too, and almost lost my life in this forest. ”

Lance replied with a pretended lightheartedness.

What the?

The blonde kid in front of him was able to escape from the panther's sneak attack?

Is it strength? or luck?

Although the overall strength of their squad is not outstanding in the entire Red Cross Knights, as the elite armed force of the church, even in the face of the powerhouses of the early stage of the high-level realm, they have the strength to fight.

However, with such strength, they were defeated in the face of the elusive black panther sneak attack.

A team of ten, and only he, Fell, and Dykeley survived in the end......

It was about Rick's expression that was too obvious, and Lance naturally began to tell about the situation when he was attacked by the Panthers.

Of course, he kept things about the hourglass of time as usual.

"You're such a lucky boy!"

After listening to Lance's story, Rick exclaimed.

Only "luck" can allow this kid whose strength is only in the middle of the Beginner Realm to survive from the claws of that black panther.

Every lucky person is favored by the god of twilight.

As long as this blonde boy does not fall soon, then he will definitely shine on the continent of Kostana in the future.

"Gollum ......"

An inopportune sound suddenly sounded, and Rick's old face suddenly turned red, and he smiled at everyone a little embarrassed, and said, "That...... I'm really hungry......"

They didn't carry much food, and in order to save food for Fair and Dykeley, Rick hadn't eaten for a day.

Before, they relied on drinking water to support themselves.

Hearing Rick say that he was hungry, the honest Ike immediately took out a lot of food from his bag and stuffed it into Rick's hands.

"Too much, too much!"

Rick hurriedly refused.

He knew that it was difficult to find edible food in the Forest of Erin now, and what this bald boy took out now must be his own rations.

He couldn't be so selfish as to watch this kind boy stay in this jungle because of a shortage of food.

"Take it! I've got it!"

Ike said firmly.

Rick stared at the bald boy steadily, and after half a sound, he asked solemnly, "Young man, please tell me your name." ”

"Ike, my name is Ike, and I'm a warrior. ”

Ike said with a grin.

"The god of twilight will protect you!"

Rick said solemnly and sincerely.

No amount of blessings is too much.

Ike smiled sheepishly and stepped back behind.

Rick took a small bite of the food in his hand, but the attentive Lance noticed that Rick had put most of the food that Ike had given him into a bag in his leather armor.

"Are you the first team of knights to enter the Erin Forest?"

Lance asked.

Rick said as he ate, "No. Two months ago, the church had sent an advance team of knights into the Irene Mountains to investigate, but more than a month ago, the church received a distress message from this advance knight team, so our 118th team came here. ”

"In addition to the search and rescue, the church also hopes that our team can find a way to find out what is going on here. It's just that I didn't expect that even our team suffered an unprecedented crisis. ”

At this, Rick sighed deeply.

Although he had the consciousness of dedicating everything to the god of twilight when he became a knight of the church, it was still a little difficult for Rick to accept the situation where the entire team was almost wiped out.

"Brother Rick, you're saying that the church discovered the anomaly in the Forest of Irene two months ago?"

Lance asked inexplicably.

Rick nodded, "Yes, but in the beginning, the church only thought that the infidels who had infiltrated from the western tribes were causing trouble, and it wasn't until the disappearance of the advance knight team in front of it that the church realized the seriousness of the situation. ”

"Why should the church send you in when it has found out?"

Ike said suddenly.

Rick said with a firm expression: "The existence of the church is to assist the Twilight God to save the confused people on this continent, and the knights, as the swords in the hands of the church, will naturally bear the first risk when encountering danger. ”

With that, he raised his hand and touched his injured shoulder, and continued with great joy, "Moreover, if it weren't for the precious magic potion that the quartermaster had specially prepared for us, I'm afraid even I would have been planted here." ”

"So, are you the only one left in your 118th squad?"

Blank asked.

Rick was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, in addition to me, there are two other survivors, they are both members of my team, but they are seriously injured and are now resting in a cave. ”

It dawned on Lance that the food Rick had put away earlier should have been intended for the other two knights.

"Perhaps, we can go see those two of your team members now. ”

Blank suggested.

"Thank you, my friend, and may Twilight shine on you forever. Rick answered directly.

Of course, Rick wouldn't refuse, and he wished that these people would go back with him sooner.

He had been away from the cave for so long, and he was indeed a little worried about the two wounded Fairs and Dykeley.

Before leaving, Blank turned to the others and asked, "I don't think you would mind providing assistance to this Church Knight, would you?"

"Very gratifying. ”

Suo Long replied first.

The rest of the group, except for Orlando, did not object to this.
