Mercenaries and Adventurers

After being told by Apolfina, Kiel knew why he couldn't feel his heartbeat. It's not because the soul enters this special dream at this time, it's simply because he no longer has a heart at this time.

When Kiel thought of this, his face was full of pain, because the lady told him that after this incident, her blood ring would temporarily replace Kiel's heart function.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Keir knew that although he was rescued by the other party, he not only owed Ms. Apoferina a huge favor, but also his life was controlled by her.

He acquiesced to it.

No way, the most important thing is to survive first.

In addition, Ms. Apolfina also told him how to enter this dream to meet her.

"You may not know that you have always had a source of magic power from the monster. Before you were about to be burned and evaporated by the magic power of the monster, you ordered the goblin who had been accompanying you to secretly seal it for you."

The other party pointed casually, and a small figure appeared beside her.

It was a palm-sized goblin with a khaki-yellow glow, a long beard, and a funny hat and vest. As soon as it appeared, it obediently bowed down to Ms. Apolfina and saluted.

But after saluting, the little fairy revealed her true nature, and with a little laughing and laughing sound, she ran around on the colorful pond in the air, holding up a small bunch of colorful pool water from time to time, and cheering and throwing her hands to the water. air.

Then it will plunge into the rock where Ms. Apolfina is sitting sideways and disappear, but after a while, it will emerge from the hair on the back of the lady, grabbing a small handful of hair happily, and flying in the air like a rope Swing around.

The difference in size between the two is too huge. Ms. Apolfina is several meters tall just sitting sideways on the rock, while the little goblin is only as big as Kiel's palm.

Although Keel looked at the little things with limited intelligence, Ms. Apolfina turned a blind eye to the goblin's behavior, seeming to know that these little things were a rambunctious temper.

"Speaking of which, it still has some fateful connection with you."

"ah?"

"Well, it once told me that it was you who woke it up from its deep sleep, so that it would not lose itself in the day after day of praise from the Goblin tribe."

When the other party said this, Keir remembered what was going on.

"It started to follow you curiously all the way, and then saw that you found the laboratory where I used to work, and wanted to drive you out harmlessly, but after you picked up my blood ring, I contacted it, That's what changed the little guy's mind."

Ms. Apolfina stretched out a finger and lightly touched the goblin's body. The little goblin obediently rubbed the tip of her finger, which was about the same size as it, and then popped into the lady's finger.

Keir was very surprised, but the lady indicated that he didn't need to be like this: "This is just a dream of mine. This body at this moment is just an illusory incarnation maintained by thoughts. Maybe you can think of it this way, I am this dream, However, this dream is me."

If you put it this way, Keel can still understand it. Afterwards, Ms. Apolfina continued to explain that after the elf helped seal the magic power of the magical beast contaminated on Kiel, there was an independent source of magic power in the seal in Kiel's body.

"Although this magical power is not yours, it can be controlled and used by yourself after being sealed. And this is the energy source that can be used to control the blood ring that replaces your heart function."

"When you activate the ring, you can enter this dream through the incarnation of the ring." Ms. Apolfina looked up and looked around, with a little nostalgia in her eyes: "This is the place where I used to meditate, a projection in the dream. I will fix it, and you can come here at the right time in the future. It is extraordinarily safe and quiet, and it is perfect for recuperating and resting."

Then Kiel asked some details about this place, and only then did he learn more about it.

Although it is a dream woven by a lady, it is more like an independent virtual and real space. Things from the outside world can be brought in here, but things here that do not belong to the outside world cannot be taken out.

Interestingly, the time here is not consistent with the outside world, because it belongs to the memory of the past, and there are some reasons that the lady cannot explain, the time here is more similar to eternity.

The plants and trees inside belong to the memory of the past, that is, the past that is not in reality, and there is no future change. Except for the substances that Kiel brought in later, every time he enters and exits here, the environment will be exactly the same.

Moreover, the time here is not synchronized with the time of the outside world. This is why Ms. Apolfina said before that they have enough time.

Seeing Kiel's shocked and thoughtful expression, Ms. Apolfina had no choice but to warn Kiel softly and gently: "Although the time is different inside and outside, after the external substances enter this place, they still belong to the controlled environment." The external substances wrapped in my dream, their time will still pass, don't use this place as a warehouse where time stagnates. A wild flower from the outside world will still weaken and rot here."

"The things you bring in from the outside world and don't need, just throw them into the pond in front of you. These colorful waters of memories will dilute them and take them away with the current."

It was only then that Kiel knew what the water in the colorful ponds that provided lighting in front of him was called. Unexpectedly, it was called the water of memories, and it seemed dangerous.

He couldn't help but moved back, a little farther away from the pond.

Kiel's movements were seen by the goblin who suddenly appeared from the pond. The little guy was floating in the air, hugging his stomach, giggling softly and bending over.

was laughed at.

Keel couldn't help but scowled, trying to make himself less embarrassed. As long as he doesn't feel embarrassed, the guy who thinks he is embarrassed will embarrass himself.

Sure enough, seeing that Keir didn't respond, the goblin floated away resentfully.

Ms. Apolfina looked at all this with a smile, and when the goblins flew away, she said softly: "The goblins are ancient and eternal, and they are made up of the naughty ideas of the world, so although they are small in size, each one has its own unique characteristics. ability."

"They used to be the source of strength for our elves in the early days. Of course, after the development of the times, they are no longer. There are still some intelligent species in the world who have the ability to communicate with them, which should not be underestimated. Keel, if you need some help , but can maintain a friendly relationship with it.”

Keel thought about it, then nodded. Although he didn't know much about this little thing, it was obvious that the goblin was able to be called here by Ms. Apolfina, obviously because she took a fancy to the other party's strength and came to assist him.

Just looking at the little goblin's appearance, he knew that it was probably possible to do some simple things, but it was probably not possible to do some complicated things to a certain extent.

It's up to him.

"I have relieved it of its original position. Since then, it will stay here to provide you with some special help when you need it. Be careful, it is an ancient goblin, although its power is not very great , but the ability is not small. When asking it for help, um, be careful."

The lady frowned slightly: "Good intentions or malice are just things that life itself determines based on society and self-cognition, but fairies have nothing to do with this. You need to pay attention."

Kiel didn't quite understand, but he nodded and wrote it down.

Afterwards, Ms. Apolfina explained some things about this place. After confirming that there was no problem with Keir, she gradually disappeared after leaving the last encouragement.

"Gill, please thrive. When I see you grow into a warrior with enough strength, I will contact you again. Of course, chant my name by the pond, and I will come too. Don't forget, this This dream is me, and I am this dream."

Sitting cross-legged by the pond, Keir nodded slightly with the little goblins flying around him.

outside world.

When the werewolf closed its eyes and 'tasted' the victory beautifully, it didn't know what happened to Kiel beside him at that moment.

Ms. Apolfina's bloodline ring was suspended in the air in the missing center of Kiel's chest, and as an invisible thing appeared from the ring, the entire ring slowly rotated in the air.

The seal on Kiel's skin seemed to have received some instructions to immediately suppress the magical power of the monster and hide it together, disappearing without a trace.

Then with the rotation of the ring, the splashed blood was manipulated by the volley to re-flow into the broken blood vessel in his chest cavity, and through the blood vessel, powerful blood was pumped around the body.

The missing fragments of bones and flesh in the chest were invisiblely manipulated and returned to their original places. As if going back in time, the damaged chest quickly returned to its original shape, and even the armor that was torn apart by the werewolf instantly returned to its original shape.

It's just that the Saturn badge couldn't be restored after it was broken, and it was still hanging on Kiel's neck in broken pieces.

With the blood and nerves coming back online, Keir's dark eyes brightened up again. Eyelids blinked, and Kiel looked back.

The things that Ms. Apolfina told the goblin before she left are being completed one by one by the goblin who is still in the dream.

The blood around the mouth quickly changed from dried blood to fresh blood, then flowed back into the mouth, and returned to the body where it came from. The pain in the part of the body that had been impacted disappeared instantly, and the damaged bones, muscles and internal organs became healthy again.

On Kiel's wrist, the Saturn's divine power that was flowing back into the wooden bracelet, somehow sensed something, and after a little confusion, they swam into Kiel's body again. With their return, Keir's body was refilled with the divine power of Saturn.

However, Kiel clenched his fist slightly, but his strength was not as good as before.

Turning his mind, Kiel guessed that the power given by the ceremony of the Saturnalia Church when he participated in the Harvest Festival before had increased. It is estimated that when he died a moment ago, he was considered dead, so it disappeared.

But it's okay, although without this power increase, he is not the same as he was a few months ago.

Eat well, drink well, and continue to exercise, and fight to the death many times. These days, he is far from his previous self, but it is not a big deal to strengthen this part of his strength.

He raised his head slightly, looking at the werewolf in front of him who was frantically swallowing his heart, Keel clenched his fists.

‘Although the physical condition is extremely good at the moment, it is still not safe to fight in such a close quarters. To be on the safe side, it is better to use the stone sword left in the ruins to defeat this guy as the lady explained before. '

After thinking about it, Keir took a few deep breaths, then propped his hands on the ground, but suddenly kicked his legs towards the defenseless werewolf's chest.

Boom!

Both feet kicked out at the same time, and then landed heavily on the opponent's chest at the same moment.

Worf the werewolf never imagined that he would be kicked down by the already killed Kiel at this time. So when it inexplicably opened its eyes and turned to look from the place where it fell, it was surprised to find that Kiel, who was already dead, was getting up and walking like flying in one direction at this moment?

? ? ?

"What's going on?" It thought it was because it was too excited and turned to hallucinations, but it shook its head, only to realize that it was not, that Kiel ran farther and farther instead.

"Stop! What is the matter with you? How is it possible, how is it possible?"

It was surprised, but the delicious taste in its mouth was not fake, and Kiel was indeed killed by him just now. But why did he run away with such vigor and vigor.

Stumped, what treasure? Or does Keir have another side that no one knows about?

It didn't have time to think more, it saw the opponent running away with bare hands, it immediately swung its arms and chased after Kiel with all its strength.

With all his weapons gone, Kiel is a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and he is not afraid to touch the opponent again. It's just that Kiel's weird resurrection is a bit weird, and it can't tell what's going on, so it just chases after it, and more often keeps its eyes on the other party, trying to see something.

-

Taking advantage of the opponent's inattention, after kicking the werewolf Wolf, Keel got up and ran.

After distinguishing the east, west, and north, Kiel ran towards the ancient elf ruins according to his familiarity with this place in the past few months.

He said he was running, but he couldn't actually run. The continuous wilderness is covered with thick snow everywhere, which greatly hinders his movement. Walking through the snow consumes more energy than usual.

But there is no way.

The werewolf Worf was chasing after him closely. This was the result of the opponent's inability to get up. Once the opponent could stand up and run, far surpassing Kiel's height, it would be easier for the opponent to move in the snow.

Being tall and having long legs is an advantage.

Fortunately, the werewolf's leg injury has not healed at this time, so he can only chase him as before. However, walking close to the snow on the ground seems to have solved the problem of the werewolf's body overheating.

The two chased after each other for a long time. Keel breathed heavily, and picked up the pure white snow on the ground and sent it to his mouth while walking to relieve his thirst. And he was also a little hungry, and there was still a small amount of food in the small backpack behind him, but when Keel reached into the backpack, he realized that something was wrong.

Everything in the backpack was smashed.

Some originally sealed wooden boxes and wooden bottles were smashed in the impact that made him unconscious. At this time, he fished it backhand, and could only touch some scattered fragments of items.

"What should I do?" Amidst the weary gasps, Kiel was a little nervous.

From here to the ruins in a straight line, if there is no snow on the ground, it will take more than a day to walk. Will the werewolf behind him give him a chance?

Mentally, he was fine. After returning from Ms. Apolfina’s dream and resurrecting his body, his spirit was very good, with clear consciousness and quick thinking. Maybe it was the help of rebirth or the result of his soul staying in the dream.

But being in good spirits doesn't mean your body doesn't need to rest and eat.

Thirst can also be relieved by relying on the snow all over the world, but what to do with food.

After running away and chasing after the werewolf for a long time, Kiel's stomach was already growling.

Although his body was sore, and his physical strength barely recovered under the blessing of divine power, the weakness caused by hunger still rushed over overwhelmingly.

Seeing from a distance in the wilderness there are small forests that rely on surface water sources, Keel thought twice, and still felt that he had to go in to find food.

Although it is very difficult to obtain food with bare hands.

But this is also a no-brainer.

-

The werewolf Worf followed the snow traces that Kiel waded on the ground from a distance, and of course, it kept Kiel within the range of its vision. It is afraid that if Keir is not in its sight, some strange things like moths will happen again.

Seen from afar, Keir changed the way he was going in one direction before, and turned his route instead, heading towards the nearest small woods.

"Hey, can't you hold on anymore?" Its physical condition has been improving, so in order to paralyze the opponent, Worf still pretends that his condition is the same as before.

Seeing Keel running into the woods at this moment, it guessed for a while, and knew that Keir must have a reason to go into the woods.

Maybe they want to use the cover of the forest to deal with it; or maybe they are hungry and have to find food; it is also possible that there are some ways to help each other in that forest.

There are all these situations. After some calculations, it thinks that the latter two are more likely.

Comparing the heart to the heart, it is still a little hungry at this time, thinking this way, the other party must be the same.

Of course, one cannot doubt the tolerance of human beings in crisis situations, maybe there is something weird there, maybe it is a trap set by the other party~www.readwn.com~For example, some dangerous beast lairs?

-

After Keel walked into the woods, he turned around and saw Worf the werewolf following closely in the distance in a wilderness mixed with white and ash. He saw the other party stay in place for a while, and then came towards the woods again.

The action is much more cautious.

"Okay, be careful, please slow down." Muttering to himself, Keel headed deep into the woods.

Seeing a suitable straight small tree by the side of the road, Keel walked over and kicked it down, then pulled it back and forth, tearing the bottom off. Then he broke off the branches of the young tree, leaving only the straight trunk, which he held in his hand as a stick.

There is something to support the hand, and it can barely be used as a weapon. Keir had a little confidence in his 'heart'.

He walked straight towards the center of the irregularly shaped forest, and at the same time lifted his visor, his eyes were constantly patrolling the surrounding snow.

As expected, there are tiny traces everywhere in the seemingly peaceful forest.

In some places, the snow has raised a line, obviously something has been arched underneath; some tree trunks are quite messy where they meet the snow, and there are small holes leading to the snow; some traces are just above the snow, which is obviously It is the trace of a light and small animal galloping across the snow.

There are also trees, basically after snowfall, there should be snow on all the branches. But there is no snow on some branches, which is obviously the result of small animals either falling on the branches, or shaking the snow off when passing the branches.

As Keir quickly distinguished, his eyes narrowed, and he saw a small furry animal staring at him in surprise on a branch not far away.

"It's you!" Keel whispered, and then he raised his stick and hit the branch.
