At this moment, there was a careless adventurer at the front line of the battle who could not dodge in time. His calf was bitten off by a strange ant that pounced on him. He fell to the ground in pain, screaming and rolling. He even let go of the weapon in his hand. Because of the pain, he had forgotten that this was still a battlefield. The strange ants on the side took the opportunity to give him a fatal blow. Fortunately, other adventurers noticed and pushed them away. They pulled the adventurer with a broken leg back to the rear of the battle line.
Hiro, who was behind them, also saw this scene. She was a little anxious and wanted to run forward, but he quickly pulled her back and reminded her," Don't mess up the formation. Just let the reinforcements near the injured person treat him."”
He remembered that Cripple Peter had mentioned before that if he wanted a high-ranking priest to perform the miracle of healing, he would need to donate at least three gold coins (9,000 RMB) to the temple. He did not know if the adventurer with a broken leg had enough money to pay for it. Anyway, Gongyu did not plan to borrow money. It was not because he was distressed by the three gold coins, but because he did not want the people around him to think that he was 'easy to borrow money', and then a large number of adventurers would forcefully' borrow money'.
The adventurer with a broken leg was dragged to the open space behind the front line. There was no priest to cast a healing miracle on him. Instead, someone took out a bottle of healing potion and poured half of it on the wound of the broken leg and the other half into his mouth. In just a few seconds, the wound of the adventurer with a broken leg stopped bleeding. However, he could only sit on the ground and cry alone. At this time, no one had time to comfort him. The other adventurers saw that he was fine and no longer paid attention to him. Instead, he turned his gaze back to the front line of the battle.
In addition to the crappy negative battle examples of some novice adventurers, there were also a few experienced adventurers 'superb battle demonstration. One of the adventurers first rushed to the empty area between two strange ants, then quickly turned to one of the strange ants with the tip of his toes. After a beautiful sweep, he immediately turned to another strange ant, and then quickly broke it into pieces in a one-on-one fight. Finally, before the other ants surrounded him, he retreated to the back of the battle line. After taking two quick breaths to recover his strength, he immediately rushed into the ant colony to continue killing the strange ants. Sometimes, he relied on rapid displacement to use the strange ants to block other ant colonies, achieving the advantage of only facing one strange ant for the time being. Sometimes, when the strange ants were on guard against other adventurers, he rushed over to sneak attack and kill them before immediately leaving. Watching this, everyone sighed. This was the attitude that an excellent adventurer should have.
While the battle was still going on, he noticed that Luana was not willing to give him a try. She would look at him from time to time, but he was a little embarrassed to speak. He could only bring the two girls to the front line of the battle with the strange ants and try to find an opportunity for her to test her skills. However, before he took action, he still warned seriously," Don't rush too far ahead. I'll help you support them. You go up and try. Come back."”
"Alright, alright. You're a little annoying today. I know what to do.”Luana replied perfunctorily. Her eyes were fixed on the ant colony opposite her, looking for a suitable target.
At this moment, two adventurers crossed the line in front of the three of them. They cooperated with each other. One of them moved to the left to attract the attention of the strange ant, while the other took a step to the right and caught the slender abdomen that was exposed when it turned around. He seized the opportunity and slashed it in half with his sword. However, a bright red fluid flowed out from the broken part of the strange ant's muscle. It melted the sword stained with the red fluid like an acid. They usually relied on the body fluid to dissolve iron ores to obtain iron elements. Although the acidic liquid was harmless to them, it caused great damage to the adventurers 'weapons.
"Ah, my sword." The adventurer with the iron sword looked at the bubbling acidic mucus on the sword and shouted in distress. He wanted to wipe it with his clothes but did not dare to. He could only keep swinging his weapon to try to get rid of the acid.
"Hey, stop shaking it. It's not dead yet.”The adventurer in charge of attracting attention reminded.
Ordinary ant-type creatures would not die immediately after their abdomen was cut off. They could survive for a while. These strange ant-type magical beasts had even stronger vitality. When it realized that its abdomen had been cut off from the side, it immediately turned around angrily, wanting to take revenge on the adventurer who had hurt it. However, the advantage of the organized adventurers was that when the adventurer in front saw the strange ant turn around, he immediately bent over and kicked it over. Another adventurer who reacted immediately swung his sword and cut off its neck.
The two adventurers then used the same method to kill another strange ant that attacked them. Then, the two of them retreated to the back to rest because they wanted to urgently maintain their weapons. Luana saw the opportunity and took a few steps forward to fill the gap left by them. She had no choice but to call for Shiloh to come forward with her spear. After all, it was too dangerous for the three of them to act separately on this battlefield.
The other strange ants also took up the empty spots of the two dead ants. They ran towards Luana with their six limbs, but she only kicked one of them away with a simple kick. Then, she stepped on the back of the other strange ant and temporarily suppressed it with her weight. She held its head with both hands and twisted its neck hard. After a crack, the strange ant became limp and motionless.
Gong You also tried to stab the strange ants with his steel spear, but their exoskeletons contained a lot of iron, which was a solid shell formed by a carbon-iron composite material, so his steel spear could not penetrate their shells at all. He could only use the spear to try his best to push the strange ants away and provide Luana with the minimum protection.
When facing the strange ants, Luana, who was barehanded, had an advantage over the common use of a steel gun. She could give the strange ants a concussion with a casual punch. No matter how strong the exoskeleton was, it was useless. She could kick the strange ants away with a casual kick. Their weight of more than 30 kilograms was as light as nothing in front of her. She could lock the strange ants with her casual joint skills. The strange ants that could not be killed by a steel gun were pitifully fragile in front of her.
Luana was considered an excellent martial arts master among her peers. It was not an exaggeration to say that she could already take charge of the team alone in terms of physical skills. However, ever since she teamed up with Gongyou and was shocked by the powerful enchanted equipment, she felt that she was the one who was holding back the team. Therefore, she was very active in today's crusade. She hoped to do her best to help the adventure team show off. Sometimes, martial arts girls were like creatures. Behind her cuteness and weakness, there was also some strength.
With Luana's rapid advancement, the three of them were more than ten meters deep into the front line in a short while. At this time, they were forced to stop in front of the gathering ant colony. Because the strange ants in front of them were too dense, she had no place to use her hands and feet. Even when she was not using her enchanted equipment, she could not do anything to the strange ants gathered together. He went up to confront the ant colony side by side with her to prevent her from being surrounded by the ant colony alone.
"Ah, there's one behind too." Hilo, who had been following closely behind, was the first to notice the strange ants surrounding them from both sides. She screamed and reminded the two people in front of her to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
When he turned around to check, two strange ants were already within three meters of him. They wanted to ambush him from behind and block his retreat. He panicked and immediately stabbed his spear into the open mouth of one of the ants. He pulled Hilo away and stood in front of it. However, the other ant saw the opportunity and immediately jumped towards his face.
Just like the night attack four days ago, the moment he sensed death approaching, his body and mind were tightly wrapped in trembling and fear. His muscles tensed up, his breathing stopped, his heartbeat sped up, and even his perception of time slowed down. Looking at the pincers biting at his head, an incantation from a spellbook appeared in his mind." Little king, eight-legged lizard…Lord of the Evil Eyes…let your light reside in my eyes and shoot out the sight of disaster."
The Weave, which had been connected since last night, immediately responded to the incantation. The Spell Slots Projection lit up in his consciousness, and then his eyes temporarily turned into snake-like dark golden vertical pupils. A faint gray light shot out from the vertical pupils and shone on the ant's jaw less than half a meter away from his head. In the next moment, the inner root of the pincer that was opened to the maximum hit his chin, causing his gums to hurt. A faint smell of blood rose from the roots of his teeth, and his head was momentarily dazed from the shock caused by the impact.
"Gongyou!" Luana, who was standing at the front, was the first to support him. She shouted nervously and pulled out his head from the ant's jaw. Then, she kicked the motionless strange ant with fear. Just now, his head was almost cut off.
"Mister Gongyou." Hilo, who was always slow to react in battle, also came over worriedly. When she saw the wound on her chin, she immediately used both hands to cast Miracle Healing." Merciful Mother Earth..."
The holy white light instantly healed the bruises and bruises on his chin, but his heart was still beating fast. The large amount of dissolved sulfuric acid made him unable to stand up for a while. Luana, who was between him and the strange ant, exclaimed. The front half of the strange ant had been turned into a dark gray stone, which was connected to the dark red exoskeleton of the back half. The whole body showed two different colors.
"This is…Petrification?" After Hilo used a miracle to heal Gongyou's injuries, she also turned to look at the dead strange ant. She was the only one among the three who had come into contact with basic education, and she guessed in surprise," Did Mr. Gongyou do this?”
At this moment, Gong You's eyes had returned to their original black round pupils. They were no longer the dark gold vertical pupils when the spell was activated, so although the two women had guessed it, they were not sure.
Before the strange ants could surround them, Gong You gulped down an Energy Serum and said to the two women," I used Petrification. Let's not worry about that. Hilo, take out the Molotov Cocktail from your bag and retreat."”
Luana knew that this was not a good time to ask questions. As she helped Gong You up and walked back, she took the Molotov Cocktail and alchemist's bomb that Hilo had just taken out from his backpack. Without looking at them, she threw them at the nearest ant. The violent explosion and the spreading sea of fire stopped the pursuit of the ants.
After handing over the item, Hilo noticed that the spear was still stuck in the mouth of a strange ant. She held her staff in one hand and held the spear in the other. The spear was stuck in the mouth of the strange ant and could not be removed for the time being. She dragged the spear on the ground and ran back. The strange ant was not completely dead yet. It was still kicking as it was dragged back to the rear of the battle line with the three of them.
As soon as they crossed the line of defense and returned to the empty space behind them, an Adventurer who was on a break immediately came up and said,"I saw it in the item shop last time. The two alchemy items you used before added up to 7 silver coins (350 RMB). It's a pity that you only killed three strange ants.”
The Adventurers who were taking turns to rest also looked regretful for the three of them. They had just seen the three of them cross the battle line and rush into the ant pile. In the end, Luana had used two alchemy tools to kill one strange ant and burn two strange ants. Although the other strange ants nearby were also injured, it was not considered a battle achievement for the three of them. In the end, they lost 4 silver coins (200 RMB).
"Cough cough, it's good that you can come back alive. Anyway, the total number of kills today added up wasn't a loss.”Gong You hurriedly explained. He didn't want others to 'misunderstand' that he didn't lack money.
"Yes, this kid is quite open-minded. It's indeed good that he can live.”Another adventurer interrupted," By the way, did you use magic just now? I couldn't see it clearly."
"It's magic. I can only use it a few times a day, so I'm not willing to use it unless it's a critical moment.”He introduced himself confidently. Other than keeping the magic book a secret, he was not afraid of others knowing that he knew magic. In fact, it could be said that the more people knew, the better. This way, he could increase his status in the guild.
" Magic, I'm so envious." After gossiping for a while, the adventurers dispersed. They focused their attention on the front line of the battle again, looking for an opportunity to kill the strange ants. How could the privacy of others be compared to the living silver coins placed in front of them?
" Gongyou, didn't you just…" Although the others didn't care, Luana did. She waited for the others to disperse and immediately asked in a low voice, but before she could finish her sentence, Hilo gently tugged at her clothes to stop her.
Luana turned to look at Hilo, only to see him shake his head at her. The two women did not ask anything else. Hilo had guessed why Gong You had suddenly learned magic, while Luana felt that it was not the right time to ask about it in private. However, this was a good thing for Gong You, so the three of them remained silent for a while, quietly watching the Adventurer and the Iron-Eating Ants fight.
After another half an hour, the number of strange ants had clearly decreased. The other adventurers had also taken turns several times, and their fatigue was evident on their faces. Only then did they take turns with the two women. This time, the three of them did not go too far away from the front line. He even took the opportunity to use Petrification twice. After Luana had killed a few strange ants to her heart's content, she immediately retreated to the rear with them.
.
When it was past four o'clock in the afternoon, four people suddenly rushed out from the top of the mountain. They were the four Silver adventurers who carried out the beheading operation. From the moment they appeared, the remaining dozens of strange ants on the battlefield were obviously in chaos. Some continued to fight the adventurers on the hillside, some turned around and rushed to the top of the mountain, and some strange ants were running around in panic. It seemed that the beheading operation had been successful. The death of the ant queen had caused the fearless strange ants to fall into a state of chaos. The adventurers roared excitedly and fought even more happily. They chased after the last remaining ant colony.
The battle ended when the last ant was killed. The adventurers then spread out and searched the entire mine. There were occasional battles in between, and only after confirming that there were no more ant queens did they return to the camp one after another. They took the opportunity to tour the mine. They saw that each ant path with a diameter of one meter was filled with carbon ash pollution. He had no interest in bending down to enter. The largest nest on the mountainside was three meters high. He went in and took a look before escaping. The ground was filled with broken ant eggs mixed with other strange liquids. The strange smell disgusted him. Hilo and Luana, who were following him, also had ugly expressions on their faces.
After a quick tour of the mine, the three of them wanted to go back to the camp to rest, but not long after, someone ran over and asked the three of them to go to the battlefield to claim the corpses of the strange ants. They didn't want to go at first, but Hilo and Luana firmly pulled them away from the carriage. When they heard that they were going to calculate the results of the battle, their hearts were filled with silver coins.
After a long selection from the battlefield, she finally confirmed the results of the three people with the light swordsman who was in charge of the statistics. The reason was that she had killed three strange ants with Petrification Magic, so it was best to confirm it. Then, it was the strange ant that Hilo had dragged back with her steel spear. Because it was still alive at that time, it was counted in her battle results. The three ants that were killed by alchemy tools were also counted as hers. Luana had killed a total of eleven strange ants in two rounds, all of which were strangled to death by her. During the recording, the Half-Forest Light Swordsman was still holding his neck in fear.
In the end, it was three plus four plus eleven, a total of 18 strange ants, which became the one with the least battle record among the three, but each of them cost 1 silver coin. After that, an adventurer asked him if he needed to personally dissect the materials on the strange ants, but he quickly refused. Ignoring the objections of the two women, he sold the 18 ant corpses for 50 copper coins each. He sold them to the other adventurers at a price of 20 rmb, plus the labor fee of 100 copper coins (40 rmb) for the carriage, so the total income of this crusade was 26 silver coins (1,300 rmb). On average, each person was equivalent to more than 400 rmb. Including the steel spear whose spearhead was damaged by the acid, two alchemy items, a bottle of Energy Serum, and used daily necessities, he did not earn much at all.
Later, in order to comfort Luana, who was angry about selling the materials at a low price, they decided to put all the income from today into the team's funds and let her manage it. Only then did she become happy again. After that, the three of them had nothing to do, so they watched how the other Adventurers dealt with the strange ant's corpse.
Because the muscles of the Iron-Eating Ants also contained a little acidic mucus, their meat was actually inedible. In order to prevent the outbreak of the plague, it had to be burned on the spot. After the adventurers removed the exoskeleton, they only kept the carbon-iron composite exoskeleton. Everything else inside was thrown into a big pit, ready to be destroyed and buried tonight.
It felt like the opposite of eating crabs. When eating crabs, they would dig out the meat and throw away the shell, but now, they were leaving the shell and throwing away the meat. Everyone was busy until dusk before they finished dealing with the ant-type magic beasts 'corpses. However, while they were waiting, they heard more news about the magic beasts.
For example, those high-level adventurers took out magic crystals that were only one-tenth the size of a grain of rice from the chest and abdomen of the queen ant. The weight was only about a few tens of milligrams, but the value was up to a few hundred RMB. It was said that the Guild of Magic in the big city also used magic crystals to make currency.
Magic crystals and magic stones were two different things. Magic crystals were usually magic cores that could only be nurtured by high-level magic beasts, while magic stones were the energy clumps that were often mined in most mines. The price of magic stones on the market was only a few times more expensive than iron ore, and each kilogram was only a few dozen rmb. Under normal circumstances, magic stones needed to be processed by alchemy to increase their value. If they were made into magic stone items, they could reach tens or hundreds of times the original market price.
Diamonds were not valuable in this world because alchemists had long developed a method to mass produce diamonds with charcoal, causing the price of diamonds to fall to a point where it was much cheaper than gold. The market price was only about one-third of gold, and each gram of diamond was only 100 RMB. However, magic crystals could not be mass-produced, and could only be obtained in small quantities from magical beasts. Moreover, because they were indispensable for magical tools, they had a high value. Each gram of magic crystal was worth nearly 9,000 RMB.
The common enchanted weapon, the Flame Sword, had a magic crystal embedded in the hilt. Usually, the magic crystal needed to be charged with magic stones in order to release magic flames from the blade during battle. Most enchanted equipment was actually like this. The magic crystal was incorporated into the equipment during design and production, so it was not obvious from the surface. In short, the magic stone was a single-use coal, and the magic crystal was a re-usable battery.
After most of the Adventurers had finished dealing with the battlefield, Gong You also returned to the camp. At this time, he found out that after the battle, the number of casualties among the Adventurers had reached two deaths and six serious injuries despite the huge advantage. This was the daily life of the Adventurers. It was said that more than 100 Adventurers died every year in the town because registering as an official Adventurer in the guild was a personal choice. They gave up their safe and cheap jobs to adventure in the wild. Therefore, even if he failed to use his life as a bargaining chip to pursue money and reputation, he had no reason or right to complain. After all, the dead could not speak.
"'The life of an adventurer is filled with the stench of sweat, dust, and blood. It's not suitable for a girl'. This is what my father told me when I was young.”Luana saw that Gongyou was a little sad and comforted him," But I still decided to become an adventurer. I want to see the different sceneries of the world, not get married early and stay in that remote and poor mountain village in my hometown for the rest of my life.”
"Alright, I'll accompany you to see the scenery. As long as I'm still in this world, I'll always be by your side.”Gong You suddenly promised. He could stay in this world for more than 50 days anyway, and there was nothing else he needed to do. So what if he accompanied Luana on her adventures?
"Me too. Wherever Miss Luanna and Mr. Gongyou go, I'll go.”Hilo, who had no family since she was young, valued this friendship more than the two of them. She did not want to be excluded, so she made a promise.
"You guys…it's good to have you guys here.”Luana was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes. She only wanted to comfort Gongyou, but she didn't expect to receive two precious promises.
"Alright, alright, don't cry." Gong You said with a smile. He knew that Luana wasn't crying. She just wanted to be mischievous.
"I'm not crying." Luana was a little shy and immediately chased after Gong You.
The three of them played around the carriage, and the sadness from before dissipated.
.
After night fell, the campfire was lit, and even the mine not far away could be seen clearly. Many adventurers who had gone to hunt wild beasts in the surrounding area returned, and some adventurers who had stayed on the mine to collect ores and were about to take them away also returned to the camp with baskets. For a time, the camp was full of people, and there was noise everywhere.
He had asked a few Adventurers he had met today why no one cared about the private mining of the main mine, but he had received a strange answer like," As long as the commission is completed seriously, the guild will acquiesce to the Adventurers earning secondary income on their own." Moreover, the others turned a blind eye to the looting, and even the heavy soldier Dilmude, who was the leader, did not say anything about it.
Did he really get tacit approval?』
[Omniscient: Negative. Doing so will lower the score during the personality review.]
" Fortunately, I didn't think of taking advantage of this.'Gong You couldn't help but feel glad. He didn't sympathize with those adventurers who couldn't pass the personality check because they coveted dozens of kilograms of iron ore.
Just as the three of them were about to return to the carriage to eat jerky, an adventurer in charge of the camp came over and told him that some of the edible wild beasts that the adventurers hunted in the evening had been bought by the leader in the name of the guild as a reward for everyone's participation in today's mission. The three of them were asked to go to the party around the bonfire.
The three of them, who were also interested in fresh ingredients, immediately went to the center of the camp. At this time, most of the adventurers in the camp had already gathered there. They even saw someone giving out ale. The three of them who were not interested in alcohol did not take a glass, but sat around a barbecue grill in the corner.
"I'll do it, I'll do it. I'm best at barbecuing.”Luana said as she grabbed the middle seat and squeezed Gongyou to the side.
Luana, who was sometimes a little lively and active, was helpless. She could only watch her cook the barbecue with Hilo. At this time, Luana suddenly started humming as she roasted the meat. Although he could not understand the tune of this world, he felt that it was good to hear it from the mouth of a young girl. As long as the person was good and the voice was good, it was good.
At this moment, a middle-aged adventurer walked over and said," You know this song at such a young age. Are your parents adventurers?”
"My father used to be an adventurer, but he has retired.”Luana replied happily. She was happy that others liked her 'Border Ballad.'
"Ah, he retired. It's good that he retired. He's very lucky to have such a beautiful daughter.”The middle-aged man laughed out loud and took a big gulp of ale before continuing," Little kid, you should retire quickly and find a good family to marry while you're still young. A girl like you isn't suitable for the life of an adventurer.”
"Hmph, I don't want to." Luana retorted angrily. Then, she said sweetly as if she had fallen into a beautiful memory," I want to go to many places I've never been to. When I'm old, I'll save up a sum of money and live in a beautiful house in the big city.”
"... I see. In the past... in the past..." The middle-aged man repeated the word 'in the past' for a while, but he did not say anything.
However, Gongyou understood. The uncle must have had a similar dream in the past, but it had not been realized until now. Therefore, the uncle did not say anything in the end. He did not support nor oppose it. Instead, he sang a folk song with Luana. Gongyou secretly glanced at the uncle's nameplate and found that it was a sixth-tier emerald. It was just in the middle of the mid-tier adventurers. It was an old veteran who was neither high nor low.
By the time the third ballad was sung, the roast meat was ready. Luana specially cut a piece of the best rib meat for Hilo, and then shared a leg with Gongyou and the uncle. She kept the rest for herself. She didn't know why her appetite was so good. Could it be that martial artists digested faster?
There were about ten grills in the camp tonight. Many large adventure teams had seven or eight people squeezed together to drink. The number of grills was enough for the total number of people, so the four people occupied one grill. No one came over to object. Although there was an unfamiliar uncle among them, the atmosphere was very harmonious after chatting slowly. However, it seemed that the lone wolf uncle was used to freeloading and was very familiar with how to adjust the atmosphere and blend in.
While chatting, they inevitably talked about the gathering. In the end, the three of them heard more details behind the scenes from the senior adventurer uncle. It turned out that the mine owner had paid 1,000 silver coins as the commission fee.(50,000 RMB), plus 100 silver coins 5% of the money was the guild's processing fee, and another third of the total money was used to buy war preparation materials, supplies, and building materials, which was about 380 silver coins. After that, 400 silver coins (20,000 RMB) were distributed as the bounty for the monsters. One silver coin for each monster, and the rest was distributed to the killers of the ant queen. The remaining 265 silver coins (13,250 RMB) were divided equally among the high-level adventurers. If the guild did not give the high-level adventurers more rewards, they might not participate in this low-income gathering, and the casualties among the low-level adventurers would be even greater.
He had no objections to giving high-level adventurers more rewards. It was more appropriate to say that the phrase " capable ones get more rewards " was especially suitable here. It was not that he looked down on low-level adventurers, but the situation he had observed on the battlefield today indeed showed that low-level adventurers were not very good. They had no equipment, no martial arts, and no experience. They would lose and die when facing the iron-eating monster ants, which were considered weak among the low-level magical beasts. Not everyone could spend money crazily to change equipment and props like Gong You, or Luana, who had practiced martial arts since she was young, could only use her life to remember the experience like Uncle.
Not long after the four of them finished eating the barbecue, a wrestling competition began beside the huge bonfire in the center of the camp. One of the contestants was a bronze adventurer between the ages of 27 to 29 who looked very experienced. They recognized who he was. In the afternoon, when the heavy soldier waited for the silver medal to behead the ant queen, he was the temporary commander. The other party was a young adventurer under the age of 20. They were too far away and could not see his nameplate clearly, but they could guess that he should be a low-level adventurer of Obsidian or Steel.
The two sides fought for about a minute before the Bronze adventurer finally seized an opportunity to barely defeat the young adventurer. As soon as the match ended, there was a commotion at the side of the field. Everyone laughed and shouted with different expressions. Then, the Bronze adventurer who won actually shouted in the field,"Whoever beats me in wrestling, I'll give him 1 silver coin (50 RMB). If he loses, he only needs to pay half a silver coin.”
Several young people couldn't stand the encouragement and signed up for the competition. Even Luana was eager to go and try her hand. Of course, her real heart was definitely on the silver coins.
Can Luana win?』
[Omniscient: No, there is a 99.99% chance of losing to the Bronze adventurer.]
'Why? Luana's martial arts are obviously very powerful."
[Omniscient: Because the Bronze adventurer's martial arts skills are more powerful, he only deliberately threw the water to fish, which is why he won very hard.]
" Is the young man in the first match a prop?』
" Omniscient: No, he's just an idiot who's been blinded by gambling."
" High-level adventurers aren't that simple.'Gong You felt that he should be cautious about the sense of superiority he gained from spending money. He turned to Luana and said," Don't participate in wrestling competitions.”
"Why not? That person looks so weak without a weapon. I'm not afraid of him in a bare-handed battle.”Luana glared at Gong You unhappily. She had always been confident in her martial arts. Everyone except her father thought that she could give it a try. She would only know who could win after the fight.
Gongyou held his forehead in distress. There was no way to explain this. Should he just tell Luana that she would definitely lose, so she should not compete? Even if they had become much closer after the few days of adventures together, she would definitely be angry if she heard it. Fortunately, the uncle was soft-spoken at this time, or he had been tricked before. He explained for Gongyou," That man is a high-level bronze adventurer. He often deliberately shows his weakness to attract the attention of novices. Then, he would squeeze some pocket money from those idiots through the competition.”
After hearing the uncle's explanation, although Luana gave up the idea of challenging him, she was still unhappy. She had no choice but to promise that she would play with her whenever she wanted to. It was only one silver coin anyway, so she would treat it as pocket money from her elder. She smiled happily again.
After that, the four of them watched the whole process of the wrestling competition. As expected, the Bronze adventurer seemed to lose every match, but he never lost even once. It was not until the novices each went up and tried one round, and some idiots even tried two or three times that the farce of the wrestling competition finally came to an end.
The night was getting darker and darker. The four of them chatted by the bonfire until the spare firewood had been burned out. They were too lazy to go outside the camp to pick up wet branches to burn. They were just about to pack up the trash and disperse when the uncle suddenly suggested," By the way, are you guys going to take the initiative to keep watch tonight?”
"Huh? Why did you take the initiative to keep watch?" Gong You asked doubtfully. Could it be that there were still people fighting for this kind of thing? Shouldn't they all be hiding and admitting that they were unlucky when they were assigned?
"For temporary alliances like this, the night watchers can usually get an extra 30 copper coins (12 RMB). If there are more people, they can only rotate for two to three hours at night.”The uncle who was already familiar with him recommended it. It seemed that he often did this, so he was especially clear about the market.
Hilo and Luana were a little tempted. They quickly pulled their wrists and ran to the side of the carriage. After running far away, they firmly replied," The three of us don't need it. You can have it."”
Although there were large tents built in the camp, the three of them still wanted to use their own. They took down a portable tent from the carriage and left one for the two girls. They carried the other tent to the other side of the carriage to sleep. There were people in the camp who kept watch, so they could sleep without worry. However, they could not take a bath in the wild, so they felt a little uncomfortable when they slept.
