I entered the game in advance and found that I was invincible

Long Xiangtian was slicing the venison while talking.

Either way, she's definitely trying to tame me.

The problem is, this is slightly over the top.

He wondered if he would be safe through the night.

When he felt Tina under the dining table gently touch his thigh, Long Xiangtian decided to formulate some countermeasures.

It was past midnight.

Long Xiangtian lay on the bed and fell asleep.

It's almost time now.

He was sure Tina would come up with a trick sometime tonight.While he waited patiently, the door creaked open, and a black figure appeared.

She is coming.

Long Xiangtian sat up, frowned, and verified the identity of that figure.

Tina.

The woman stood in front of him without a single piece of clothing on her body.

Your actions this time seem excessive.

Oh well, who cares.We just want to enjoy an evening together.

Tina approached him nonchalantly.

Even in the dark, her steps are steady and quick.

As the distance between the two shrinks.

Then I can't help it.

Long Xiangtian grabbed Tina's wrist

Ack! Be gentle.Although my attitude is good, it's my first time.

Why do you keep tempting me like this?I believe you have no more questions for me.

Haven't I already told you?I already like you.

I find it hard to believe.

When Long Xiangtian turned on the lamp on the table, the surrounding suddenly became brighter.

It doesn't look like she's been experimented with.

Because she is a muscular mercenary, she has some scars, but that's about it.

When he looked away, Tina gently hugged his waist.

What should I do to make you trust me?Is it not enough for me to give you my body?

I don't need this kind of compensation.So, if you have any troubles, just say it.

trouble?

Tinya raised her head, and her gentle eyes fell into Long Xiangtian's sight.

He patted her head lightly.

As long as I work in the Blue Eagle Mercenary Corps, I will be responsible for your and Sylvia's safety.

It's been a long time since I've heard anything like that.I am right to choose you.

What do I choose?
as a guardian.Because there is no one to take care of Sylvia after I die.

Tina knows better than anyone how dangerous the Witch's Forest is.

Therefore, she is preparing for the worst, and she will not come back from the forest.

Do you have no one else to trust?

This is not the case.But everyone is busy with their own life progress. And don't know if they can swing Tabris.

Tabris is the name of the greatsword Tinia carries.

An artifact obtained by signing a contract with the previous owner.

If the successor violates the rules of the contract or loses power, then Tabris will reject him as its master and find a new master on its own.

Tina's explanation aroused Long Xiangtian's attention and interest.

I never knew it had such a function.

He was beginning to understand why Tenia had seduced him.

After sleeping with someone, the best place to make a personal request is in bed.

She probably intends to hand over Tabris to me through a contract at the last moment.

After sorting out the information in his mind, Long Xiangtian spoke.

Aren't you going to take Silvia to the Forest of Witches?
of course not.That place is too dangerous.

The number of mercenaries who were wiped out after wantonly stepping into the Witch's Forest is astonishing.A surprising number of mercenaries have been wiped out after setting foot in the Witch Forest.

However, the reason for continuing the expedition was because the Earl of Orlando in the Arend region proposed a high reward.

The Blue Eagle Mercenary Group also came for that high bounty, so they decided to participate in this expedition.

However, for Tina, Sylvia is more important than money.

Even if she wanted it, Tina would not allow her to participate in this expedition.

I see.She is your only relative.

I just want Sylvia to be happy and not have a life full of battles like mine.

She has already prepared funds for Silvia to use.

Not enough to sustain her, but enough to last until she is self-reliant.

But if the worst happens, Tina needs someone to protect Sylvia.

Long Xiangtian nodded when she asked him to protect her little sister.

do not worry.I always keep my promises.

Thank goodness.I am very glad that I met a man like you, although I am a bit embarrassed recently.
Tina gently pulled out a smile, and her relieved mood calmed down.

She believed that Long Xiangtian was someone she could rely on.

Let's save the details until after the sun rises.You should go back to your room now.

Can you listen to one more request?

Tina raised her body to face him, her eyes fixed on him.

There was a fire of passion and love in her eyes, like a teenage girl in love.

creak.

The door opened and Sylvia entered in her pajamas.

Sister, I have something to tell you.

She had been listening to their conversation, but Long Xiangtian obviously knew it from the beginning, thanks to his reflexes.

Secretary - Sylvia?

Tina was stunned, and shrank back from Long Xiangtian.

Something she never expected was happening, and the room fell into an awkward silence.Finally, Sylvia began to speak.

Forest of Witches.I also need to go.I don't want to send you to die alone.

Absolutely not.You are still
I have adjusted my mentality.So I believe, now there is nothing that constitutes a problem.

If her sister never came back from the forest, Sylvia would live her whole life with a feeling of guilt in her heart.

When Sylvia had a determined look, Tina disagreed very much.

Why must you let your useless stubbornness take over your mind?
Does it matter?I just need to protect Sylvia.

but
I'll lend this to Sylvia.

Long Xiangtian took out the banshee's cloak and covered it for Silvia.

Tenia's eyes widened as her features faded away.

Ann, an invisibility artifact? !
If she keeps hiding, at least she won't be targeted by ordinary monsters.

In addition to the banshee cloak, Long Xiangtian has many artifacts that can help protect Silvia.After receiving their surprising reactions, Long Xiangtian began to remove his accessories one by one.After arguing for a whole day, Sylvia finally managed to convince Tinia.

However, this was only possible with the help of Long Xiangtian.

If he hadn't said that he would lend many of his artifacts, such as the banshee cloak or the ghost queen star snake, to Sylvia, Tina would have refused her sister's request until the end.

Long Xiangtian sighed, watching Silvia observe and touch his utensils in surprise.

Great, they've reached a compromise.

The reason why he didn't reject Tinia's courtship last night was because he realized that she needed someone she could rely on.

Even so, he wouldn't have sex with her for such a reason.

It's not that he doesn't like Tina.However, if he has a lover, it will greatly disrupt his future plans and weaken his psychological endurance.

Sylvia stepped in at the perfect time last night.

In order to catch Tenia off guard, he deliberately concealed the existence of Silvia.

It was heartless for him to keep silent, but he knew Silvia was a selfless person with a strong sense of responsibility.

He believed that as long as he learned of Tinia's plan to sacrifice herself for his little sister, Sylvia would not sit idly by and would object.

It's safer to keep her with you.

Although a large castle city, Dornen is not immune to monster attacks.

Moreover, the conquest troops composed of mercenaries and families will set out to carry out missions, and the defense of the city will naturally weaken.

Since he doesn't know what events are going to happen in the city, let's be as vigilant as possible.

how long will you stay hereWill you return to the Rhine Kingdom once the conquest is over?
Tenia asked as she walked on the road with her hands on her hips.

She looked nervous, waiting for his answer.

No, I still have some things to deal with here.I will probably stay in Izuna Kingdom for a while.

That would be great! If you need some help in the future, don't hesitate to reach out to me.Despite my appearance, as an active and experienced mercenary, I know quite a bit about the kingdom.

Before the family was formed and developed, Tinia was a famous person.That's why she has connections with influential people in the Izuna Kingdom.

First, tell me about the Witch Forest and the Eclipse family.

The Witch's Forest has long been considered an ominous place.There are many stories about it, but the content varies from place to place.

Tina began to talk about her favorite legend since she was a child.

The original story was extremely long, but she kept only the important details and told it like a short fairy tale.

A long time ago, a young man named Sig left here and went on an adventure.He obtained many treasures while exploring and challenging countless hidden historical sites.Among his earnings was a Valkyrie sealed by the gods, Brynhildr.

Nibelungen Song
This is a story that Long Xiangtian is familiar with.

He could have let her skip the story, but he feigned ignorance and listened carefully.

Go on.

When she awoke from her sleep, Brynhildr fell in love with Sig's heroic figure.Seeger also ends up falling in love because of Brynhilder's unparalleled beauty.The two are engaged and have settled down somewhere where they intend to live their happy lives.

Is this a happy ending?
No, it is not.Fate eventually separated the lovers.

In order to impart proper knowledge and wisdom to their unborn child, Sig temporarily left Brynhilder's side to specialize in the outside world.

However, the sorceress Krimhild[1] was reluctant to part with Zieg and gave him some kind of potion.After drinking it, Chigurh lost his memory.

In the end, Chigurh marries Cremilde and begins living with her in the forest.Later, when Brinhild came to him, he was a different man, and he was also ruthless to his former lover.

This was a big blow to Brynhildr, so she killed herself in front of Chigurh.

The winner of the story is Krimhild.

The content of the story sounds a bit off.

After Tina finished telling the story, Long Xiangtian made a dissatisfied expression.

The conclusion of this story was very different from the one he had heard.

Hehe, only Sylvia and I know this version.People who saved us before told us this version, saying it was the true story.

Is there a reason you prefer this version over the other?

Yeah, the message it's trying to tell us is obvious and clear.Don't despair like Brynhilder, fight to get back your lost love till the end.This message made a deep impression on me when I was young.

But sister, if you look at it from another angle, you can also say that we should use any method at hand to fight for love like Krimhild.

No, this is a story that uses Brynhildr as an example to show what not to do
A small dispute ignited between the two sisters.

Long Xiangtian watched for a while, and soon, he spoke.Now on to the next topic.

Ah, my fault.So, something about the Eclipse family.They first appeared in the area about three months ago.Their patriarch is called Steve Miller.They have 10 group leaders, and each group has about 600 clan members.

This is a big clan with about 6000 people.

They have been doing a lot of evil to other mercenaries in their own area of ​​activity, and have committed many crimes.

They asked other mercenaries to pay fines in order to live safely in their territory.

The Blue Eagle Mercenary Group led by Tiniya is obviously no exception.

Where is their headquarters?
North of Sauwell Church.There is a small hill along the way, you should be able to find it easily.

ok, I get it.I will remember.

He'll have to deal with them someday, but he has other things to attend to at the moment.

Long Xiangtian quickened his pace and approached the elixir shop.

Long Xiangtian wandered around the business district, using the money he got from the nobles during the Rhine Kingdom's rebellion to buy the items and materials needed for the conquest.

This is not a burden on his funds, because he just has to support a group of mercenaries who barely reach 1000 people.

Needless to say, this made Tinia and Silvia, who were lowly commoners, dumbfounded.

After the preparations were completed, Long Xiangtian and the Blue Eagle Mercenary Group set off for the Forest of Witches.

The cannibals set off two days ago.They must be busy fighting monsters in the forest right now.

Sylvia commented from the side.

Since their group was late, she couldn't hide her worry.

Do not worry.By the time we get there, they won't have much to show for it.

In the previous life, the forest was conquered for a long time.

Since the Gray Wolf Alliance has not yet been formally established, there is no doubt that the cannibals will fail.

Sylvia stared at Long Xiangtian curiously, and he spoke confidently.

Brother-in-law, you seem to be very sensible.Have you been to the Witch Forest before?
No, it will be the first time.

Sylvia called him brother-in-law.

Although it was out of formal considerations, he acted as Tina's lover.Because of this status, when the Blue Eagle mercenary spoke to Long Xiangtian, he finally used formal language.

But how did you pursue my sister?Never before has a man been able to command her attention and interest.

I do not know either.

The reason is most likely their one-on-one fights.Tenia's man type is someone stronger than her.

The reason why she has no previous partners is because her swordsmanship is unrivaled.

Anyway, please take good care of my sister.She's a little rough around the edges, but deep down she's a good woman.

Ok.

Do you always talk so little?I seem to be talking to a wall.

Sylvia pouted and commented.

Long Xiangtian laughed softly and patted her on the head.

We'll be in the forest soon.Get ready to hide.

Gee
She made a sullen look, and imbued the banshee's cloak with mana.

After a while, the forest appeared in front of me.Tenia, who was leading the surrender force, stopped in her tracks.

Get ready for battle.Execute according to the plan I explained last night.

While she calls it a plan, there isn't much strategy.

Camp in a huddle formation, stay vigilant, and prepare for a surprise attack until the cannibals gain a foothold in the forest before moving forward.

While the mercenaries were getting ready, Tina turned to look at Sylvia.

She couldn't help worrying about the girl she had brought along reluctantly.

Long Xiangtian glanced at his adventurer watch.

The cooldown should have ended.

He broke the formation and went to Tinia to use the memory pendant.

Unlike last time, he came up with a plan to buy time while exploring her memories.

Long Xiangtian?Is there a problem?
I want to see your situation.

Me, I'm fine.

They said that before crossing the stone bridge, one should knock on the stone bridge first.Who knows what will happen?

After coming up with a reasonable excuse, Long Xiangtian grabbed Tinia's shoulders.

In an instant, scenes began to appear in his mind.

The red-haired man is also in today's memory.

She has learned swordsmanship since she was a child.

Standing in front of the scarecrow, Tinya swung the wooden sword according to the redhead's instructions.

Her movements are clumsy, but her eyes glow with positivity.

She swung the weapon until her slender hands were already swollen.However, no scream escaped from her mouth, nor did she ask for rest.

Let's call it a day.The sun is starting to go down.

Rael, when can I become a mercenary?
When Tina turned around, she said this sentence.Seeing this scene, Rael chuckled lightly.

When the right time comes.

How do I know?
This sword will tell you.

Rael grabs Tabris by the back and shows it to her.It was a strange weapon wrapped in green sword energy.

Tenia stared at the sword and asked again.
