"Bang."

A new firewood was added to the fire, causing the flame to swell.

The Silver Sword Team and Mann were sitting by the fire eating simple food, but they still didn't eat it at first. After all, she couldn't taste the food, and it would be troublesome to eat excess food and use evil to digest it.

She sat on a dead tree trunk by the roadside, listening to the dwarf John drinking wine while bragging about their past adventures, probably every adventurer likes to do such things. On the road that is boring for most of the time, it is nothing bad to have more interesting stories.

"But speaking of this, boy Mann, why do you always see businessmen going to Jeffries lately?"

John wiped the wine from his beard and said drunk.

After everyone got to know each other, the name between them became casual. John the dwarf was nearly fifty years old, so it was not an exaggeration to call Mann.

Speaking of Jeffries, before Mann, they had seen several groups of merchants in Loftrov hired adventurers to go to Jeffries. You should know that in the past, small merchants except for the big caravans would hardly go to that city.

Because the prices in that city are too high, staying there for a few days will make you lose all the money you earn.

"Well." Mann pouted and bit the dry food in his hand: "Jeffries has a man who is purchasing magic crystals in an infinite amount. I can only say so much, you know, the rules of the Merchant Association."

The rules of the Merchant Association are to never talk much about traders.

"Okay." Dwarf John said, half drunk, hiccup, "It's not good to get involved in the association's stinky rules at a young age."

"Don't listen to him." Gil, the lizardman in the corner, said suddenly: "Rules are very important."

For thieves like them who act cautiously, rules are a guarantee.

It is two different people with the Dwarf John, so their relationship is generally not very harmonious, but from a certain perspective there is a delicate balance.

"Anyway." Dwarf John grinned and patted his chest.

"I hope that something exciting will happen along the way and have a wonderful adventure, so that it is what adventurers should do."

"Well, I think it's better to be more stable." Lily, who was sitting on the other side, held her magic book and expressed her opinions timidly.

"What are you afraid of? Whether it is a dragon or a demon, I, Mr. John, can easily solve it. Then let you see my newly developed tactics."

As he said that, the dwarf John stood up staggeringly, punched two times out of thin air, and then one of them fell to the ground without standing firmly.

"Puchi." The mage Lily covered her mouth and smiled.

Lizardman Jill also curled the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at Mann and said with his head down.

"If something really happens, I will be responsible for solving it."

It is not as unreliable as the drunkard who fell next to it.

"Well, I'm very strong too, little brother." The mage Lily also smiled slightly and gently patted Mann's head.

This feeling of being treated as a child made Mann a little depressed, but he couldn't say anything. Who made him the youngest here?

"But talk about it." Mann looked at John the dwarf who was lying on the ground and said in a daze: "I also want to learn some adventurer skills."

He remembered what happened in Xiskama before. If he could fight at that time, he might have helped.

And as a boy, he also has some dreams of swords and magic.

Hearing Mann say this, Lily raises the magic book in her hand.

"If it's magic, I can teach you some."

"If it's swordsman, our captain Lorna and I have some experience." Lizardman Jill pointed to the short knife hanging around his waist.

These skills are not a secret on the mainland. Everyone can learn them, but they will have different levels of success, so they have nothing to be stingy about.

But when it comes to Lorna, where did Lorna go?

Jill looked around and realized that Lorna had sat next to Chu at some point.

······

"At first, don't you really have to eat something? Even if you practice, you should take a break."

Lorna's voice came from her ears.

"No." Chu moved his body, and Lona sat a little closer, almost close to her body, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Since that day, Lorna has often come to chat with her, which makes her regret a little. Did she say something she shouldn't say?

Seeing that Chu did not walk away, Lorna was delighted and her cheeks continued with a slightly red face: "That's it, that's OK. By the way, where are you from? My hometown is in Helmt, a coastal town to the east. The people in the town are all good. You can take a boat to fish when you have nothing to do."

She talked about her hometown, with light in her eyes, probably recalling those wonderful times.

But Chu could only say helplessly.

"My hometown has nothing."

She did not lie because there was no need to hide it. Anyway, she did not say a clear location.

Lorna seemed to have noticed that she had asked the wrong question, touched her light blond hair, and asked with a smile.

"Where is the family, my father is a swordsman, and I learned my swordsmanship from him. I still remember when I was a child, he always trained me very rigorously, and every day he practiced very hard. But every day he would carry me home. I remember we would walk across a stone bridge by the sea, and the sea breeze on the bridge was always very strong...."

Chu listened silently as Lorna told her story, and sometimes she would smile a faint smile.

But Lorna also gradually discovered that Chu was indeed different from everyone she knew before.

She felt a silence and a sense of alienation in Chu. This alienation was not coldly keeping people from thousands of miles away, but gently keeping a distance from everyone.

This feeling made her want to understand the reason, but she was powerless.

The lizardman Jill, who was sitting not far away, felt relieved when he saw that Lorna did not do anything unusual to Chu. However, just as it wanted to look away, he suddenly saw a badge on Chu's chest.

A silver-white wolf-head badge.
