I like traveling the most

The afternoon sun is a little warm and cozy.

Darkness cuddled up against Xiao Lin, resting her head on his shoulder. She seemed to feel a little empty, so she still held his arm in her arms.

Xiao Lin also fell asleep with his eyes slightly dozed off.

The two are intimate.

After a long time, Darkness slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Xiao Lin next to her, who was still a little dazed, her brain suddenly shut down.

"X-Xiao Xiao Xiao...Xiao Lin?!"

Why is Xiaolin by his side? Why did the two of them sleep together and she was holding Xiao Lin's arm?

More and more doubts made her unable to think, her cheeks turned red and her body moved unconsciously.

Xiao Lin was also woken up by her.

He woke up from a deep sleep, smiled at her and said, "Good morning, Darkness, did you sleep well?"

"Um, um... not bad."

Darkness's cheeks were slightly red.

Xiaolin suddenly said: "Daknis, you slept with me, so you have to be responsible for me."

This statement prompted a strong rebuttal.

"Wait a minute, shouldn't you be responsible for me?!" Darkness shouted.

But after saying that, her pretty face immediately turned red and she lowered her head.

"puff----"

Xiao Lin couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Sorry, sorry, seeing how shy and coy you were just now, I accidentally wanted to tease you."

"Xiao Lin!!!"

Darkness glared at him shyly, but muttered softly: "If you want to be responsible, you should be more...more..."

He couldn't help but put his hands on his cheeks, drooling from the corners of his mouth, as if he was in fantasy again.

Xiao Lin looked at the sky and said to her: "Let's go, collect the ore early, and come back as soon as possible before it gets dark. We have booked a big dinner at the guild tonight, right? How about it, can you still stand up?"

"Oh, oh... I forgot about it. I'm actually fine, but my legs are a little weak." Darkness looked a little embarrassed.

"Come on, let's go."

He stretched out his hand to help her up and walked slowly towards the mine.

Darkness was very resilient and returned to normal after a while. The two sped up and arrived at the mine an hour later.

“Hiss——, it’s a bit scary.

"Hmm, um... indeed."

The overall appearance of the mine is basically the same as the Black Heart Coal Mine seen in the reports. The appearance is just a small entrance and exit simply built with wood. The inside is pitch black and there is a gust of wind blowing from time to time. In addition, the place is about to be destroyed. In the abandoned mine, both Xiaolin and Darkness were somewhat resistant.

After all, unknown dangers are always scary.

"There is no way, who told us that the required ore can only be mined here."

"The price is too expensive if you buy it."

"That's it."

Xiao Lin shook his arm, picked up the pickaxe in his hand, and said confidently:

"—excavate!"

Of course, two people dig together.

Although mining is also a basic skill for blacksmiths, it is not a pure RPG after all. Swinging a pickaxe is an action that anyone can do.

But the problem is that the required ore is deep, and it is easy to encounter monsters.

"He came as soon as he finished speaking."

Xiao Lin raised the pickaxe in his hand and pointed it at a large group of small monsters jumping out from the depths.

【Smile】

The spherical monster whose whole body is made of stone has three crescents forming a triangle on the front. It looks like a smiling face, so it is called Smile.

It likes to eat ores, is fast and agile, and has a very hard body, making it a very difficult monster to deal with.

But again, the rewards are high.

It likes to eat ore, and it will automatically condense iron ore in its body. The purity and precision are several times that of ordinary ore.

Therefore it is the favorite monster among blacksmiths.

"But, it's so strange."

Xiao Lin frowned and said doubtfully: "It's really strange that Smile would actually go into groups."

Looking at the Smiles gathered in the corridor, they were so densely packed that there was no place to stay.

And that's the problem.

Because they are monsters that blacksmiths like, they often issue quests in the guild. When the rewards are generous, the adventurers attack hard and wipe out almost all of them. They should not be seen in this almost abandoned mine. right.

However, with so many appearing in a short period of time, there is definitely a problem.

After thinking for a while, he said to the female knight next to him: "Darkness, let's retreat for now and tell the guild about this..."

"Go up and kill them, right? I know!" Darkness, who was eager to try, rushed forward excitedly.

No, she wants it for free!

"Wait a minute, I said retreat, right?" Xiao Lin looked at Darkness with a headache as he rushed forward regardless.

She has always been like this. When she encounters an enemy, she will rush forward with all her strength. Those who didn't know thought she wanted to fight a strong enemy, but those who knew knew that she was simply enjoying the pleasure of being beaten.

Seeing Darkness surrounded by many monsters, Kobayashi was sincerely glad that the monster that appeared was not a goblin.

otherwise--

There will definitely be a performance [Goblin and the Female Knight.MP4 (Underground Palace Version)]

Xiao Lin picked up the pickaxe and rushed forward: "Darkness, hold on, I'm coming!"

"Ah haha, ah hahahahaha——"

Darkness laughed in the crowd of monsters. Even if she was hit by countless stone monsters, she would not fall down. She even rushed forward to get beaten excitedly.

It's over, she has gone completely crazy.

Naturally, Xiao Lin couldn't watch her enjoy...being beaten, so he kept tapping the silver bump on the back of Smail's head from the outside.

This is their weak point and where the ore is gathered.

Smile moves very fast, and because its weak point is on the back of its head, few people can hit its weak point with one blow, but it is different with the knight who constantly taunts monsters.

Xiaolin quickly eliminated the monsters on the periphery, and whenever they found something abnormal and wanted to escape, Darkness, who was surrounded in the center of the circle, would use the [Taunt] skill to forcefully pull them back.

Thanks to the stupid knight's rough skin and thick flesh, he was able to defeat the monster easily.

an hour later

"Come on! Come on! Is this all you can do? Hurry up and continue to attack fiercely!"

Unsatisfied, Darkness shouted excitedly, but unfortunately all the monsters that besieged her had been eliminated by Xiaolin.

"It's over, let's take a rest."

Darkness was fine, but Xiaolin was very tired. You have to use all your strength to swing the pickaxe every time, which is also quite exhausting.

But this time the harvest was rich.

The scattered iron ore not only fulfilled Bill's commission, but could even make a fortune.

"But it's still strange, why do they appear in groups?"

Xiao Lin sat cross-legged on the ground and thought hard.

Darkness on the side pointed to a monster in the distance and asked, "Could it be related to it?"

Follow the direction of your finger.

There is a monster hiding in the shadow of the unobvious corner of the corridor.

It has the same spherical appearance as Smile.

But the difference is that the third crescent moon that serves as the mouth is upside down, so the expression looks like crying.

【Cule】

The leader of Smile is also a very rare monster. It can also gather concentrated iron ore in its body, but the accuracy of gathering is more than ten times that of ordinary ore. The concentrated iron ore it condenses can even be used as an alchemical material.

Popular among alchemists and blacksmiths alike.

"Just get rid of it too."

Darkness raised the knight's sword in his hand and rushed forward again regardless.

She wants it for free again.

"Wait, it's different from those monsters!"

Kobayashi tried to stop her, but Darkness was so excited that she couldn't hear him.

If it's a monster, it doesn't look like much. However, Kulay is different from Smile in that it will explode when in danger.

It will really explode!

Darkness raised the knight sword in her hand high, and the wild smile on her face didn't look like a cross knight protecting the people at all. Instead, she looked like a berserker, charging at Kurai savagely.

The terrifying aura caused Kulay's bent mouth to curve even further, as if he was about to cry, and then a shining light suddenly burst out from inside its body.

No, it's going to explode!

Now that the two of them are in the narrow corridor, if there is a violent explosion, you can imagine what will happen.

--collapse.

"This idiot!"

Xiao Lin rushed forward quickly.

Unfortunately, the explosion still couldn't be stopped.

boom--

The power of the explosion was far less than that of explosion magic, but due to the terrain, the entire tunnel began to collapse after suffering a violent impact.

The beams, which were originally made of wood, couldn't hold on at this moment.

Collapse!

I thought that the falling stones would be buried in the corridor, but I didn't expect that the bottom of the floor would also be blown up to expose the space below.

Darkness had no foothold and fell unconsciously.

"Darkness—!"

Xiaolin's speed exploded instantly, and he jumped up and hugged Darkness.

In a hurry, he forcibly changed his body shape, trying to use himself as a meat cushion, but Daknis turned himself underneath to act as a meat cushion.

puff--

The two fell into the second floor corridor.

Fortunately, the height was not too high and they were not injured.

"Um……"

Darkness warned softly.

Due to being besieged by monsters before, most of the armor on her chest was damaged, and it seemed to attract Xiaolin's hands with magnetic force.

"X-Xiao Xiao Xiao...Xiao Lin?!"

Darkness exclaimed shyly.

However, Xiao Lin angrily lectured: "Really, you should listen to me. Fortunately, there is a second level, otherwise we would both have to see Eris! And why did you put me up just now?! "

"Because I am a Cross Knight."

Darkness felt a little aggrieved.

——Forgot.

Darkness's body strength is exaggerated, and she can easily withstand the impact of falling from a high altitude.

Darkness also asked in turn: "Xiao Lin is the one, why did he run over and let himself be below."

"...Because I was worried about you, I subconsciously rushed over." Xiao Lin sighed and whispered: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have run over to save you."

"W-worry about me...hehehehe——"

Darkness became even more shy.

But what neither of them noticed was that the landslide above them was not over yet. A piece of floor fell silently and hit Xiao Lin hard on the head.

"——?!!!"

His head lowered involuntarily, and his lips coincided with Darkness's.

Chirp——

Darkness' eyes widened, looking at Xiaolin who was close to him, and in a panic, he pushed him away with both hands.

"You, you, you... what are you doing, Xiaolin!"

Her cheeks flushed and she waved her hands.

She looked a little helpless and adorable, like a shy little girl who had never experienced anything.

However, no one saw it.

Darkness waited for a while but got no response, and then she found that Xiaolin had already fainted with his eyes closed.

"Xiaolin, Xiaolin, Xiaolin?!"

Darkness's shouts kept coming to her ears, but Xiaolin couldn't open his eyes, and could only fall into a coma with the fleeting gentle touch and sweetness just now.

What happened next, we'll talk about it after he wakes up.
