God's family

"...Roger, are you sure it's this monster? Is there any mistake?" Lacente hid at the side of the cave, looking at the cave lying on the ground, lazily scratching the white hair beside his ear with his hind paws. Beasts, the expression is a little subtle.

"...If you are sure that the monster you are looking for is called Baludy, then this is the right one." Roger's expression was equally subtle, but his tone was as serious as ever, "Besides, this monster looks It’s also quite close to the attitude of the bottom boss.”

"Close the bottom boss?" Laycent wondered.

"...It means the target that needs to be killed in the end." Roger coughed lightly, and he would always come up with some strange words that others could not understand, which always troubled Roger a little.

"...This guy, he doesn't look like a bottom boss." Laycent looked contemptuously, as if he was a little dissatisfied with this kind of opponent who was beautiful and cute and had no intimidating power at all.

"As the saying goes, a person cannot be judged by his appearance." Roger replied simply, because he couldn't honestly answer the status of this Barudi beast. He could only see a name, and the level, HP and MP were all question marks...

——The opponents are all question marks, it really feels like a boss, doesn't it?

"You can't be judged by your appearance... This sentence is also true." Lacente nodded in admonishment, and finally became serious, "Just like Roger looks so thin, he is actually not an easy opponent to deal with!"

"...Hey, don't make strange analogies for me." Roger felt helpless.

"Actually, Roger, don't you think? This Baludy beast really looks like you, its eyes are like rubies, and its fur is pure white." Lacente said with emotion.

"...My hair color, not fur color, thank you, and I told you to restrain my strange associations!" Roger closed his eyes forbearance, and then glanced mockingly at Leysen Take a special look, "Next, you won't say that you think this guy looks like me, so you are reluctant to do it?"

"How is this possible, I won't be soft." Lacente looked back at Roger's gaze strangely, and replied calmly, quickly and sincerely, "Because I think it's an eyesore in this way."

"..." How disgusting do you look at my appearance? Hey!No, no, he and Baludymon are completely different species, they don't look alike at all!Roger raised his forehead and decided to stop this topic, "In short, it has been confirmed that the monster inside is the target this time, don't take it lightly, the next battle will be the same as before, you stand in the front, I will support in the back, red I have given you some potion and blue potion, take it immediately if you need it—are you ready? It’s about to be taken.” After making the arrangement simply and neatly, Roger looked at Lycent inquiringly, but found that he shook his head.

"This time, Roger, don't make a move for now, I will deal with it alone!"

Roger was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Lecent would exclude him during the boss battle, but after thinking about it, he realized, "...That's right, this time is to prove that you can become a real swordsman And the arranged trial should require you to complete it alone, right?"

"Well, yes, at least that's what I was told when I accepted the mission." Laysen nodded.

"Although I don't think anyone will know even if it's not done by one person...but since you insist..." Roger nodded lightly, showing a faint smile, "in case there is any problem and trouble , don’t be brave, let me cover you.”

"Okay!" Lacente replied without hesitation.

Roger: "..."

Lacent: "...?"

Being watched by Lacente with puzzled eyes, the corner of Roger's mouth twitched slightly, "...No, it's nothing...I just think you answered so quickly... Normally, shouldn't you say that you have no problem at all? Don’t need help and then reluctantly agree under the persuasion of others?”

"...Why do you want to do this?" Lacente was even more at a loss.

"...Because it looks more heroic?" Roger scratched his cheek, and his somewhat uncertain tone was a standard rhetorical question.

"So that's how it is!" Lacente suddenly realized, and then felt a little annoyed, "Then do I need to do it all over again?"

"No need at all." Roger flatly refused.

"...Okay..." Laycent looked even more annoyed, and even his shoulders drooped, "Actually, I just think that since I can't beat it, sticking to it will only make the situation worse, and asking Roger for help is a bad idea." It's a normal thing, because we are companions..."

"Although it seems that your personality is the stubborn and honest type, and you always insist on unnecessary things, did you expect to be aware of current affairs by accident?" Roger was a little surprised, and raised his hand to pat Nexant. shoulder, reassuring, "That's a good thing, really."

Lacente cheered up slightly after being praised, "Besides, I didn't ask Roger to help this time, and I planned to try it myself not because of the requirements of the mission, but because I wanted to know whether I could pass the trial alone. Qualifications to become a true swordsman." Lacente looked at Roger sideways, and finally brought the stubbornness that Roger had misunderstood in his eyes, "I know, Roger, you rejected me because you thought I was unreliable , not worthy of trust, indeed, I am just an apprentice swordsman who needs your help now. I want to prove to you that I can actually become a truly outstanding swordsman, so that Roger will choose me, right? ?”

"No...Actually, you misunderstood, I didn't because..." Roger's heart was hit hard, and he was caught off guard by Lacente's sudden confession.

"Roger doesn't trust me, right?" Lacente interrupted Roger's explanation and asked persistently.

"..." Roger was silent, unable to deny it against his will for a while.He always thought that Nexant was ridiculously stupid, he was easy to fool, and he didn't care much about anything, but he didn't expect that he would have such a keenness—such an untimely sensitivity.

"Roger doesn't trust me, no matter what the reason is, but it doesn't matter, because I will prove to you that I am trustworthy!" Lacente laughed, with his unique stupidity, but it was very touching Moved.

"Then, I'm going, remember to cover me in case something goes wrong!" As if he didn't know what kind of shock he had brought to others, Lacente clenched the long sword in his hand, and cast his eyes on the people in the cave. A white monster with a focused look.

"... Well, no matter what, nothing will happen to you." Roger lowered his eyes, and also calmed down his wavering mind, turning his attention to the monster he was about to face next.

Nexant grew up so fast that even Roger, who could know all his attribute data with the power of the bracelet, couldn't judge his real strength.His actions are always unexpected. It seems that fighting has become his instinct. Lacente naturally knows how to inflict maximum damage on the opponent. Whether it is martial arts or magic, he is at his fingertips, and every combination can make him The moves that were not too lethal in the first place became very sharp.

——Lecent itself seems like a weapon.

As Nexant gradually controlled the rhythm of the battle, and as Baludymon gradually fell into Nexant's pace, Roger's tense body and nerves finally gradually relaxed, because he knew that there was no need for him to play up.Lycent was able to accomplish this task alone, and was fully qualified to be a true swordsman, and Roger was sincerely happy for him.

The Baludy beast, whose fur was stained with blood and was no longer white and beautiful, fell to the ground with a groan. Lacent's breathing was a little short, but his eyes were amazingly bright, as if he hadn't recovered from the aftermath of the battle.Roger walked up to him, congratulated him in a soft voice, and then was embraced by Lacente who was still immersed in excitement and joy.

"Yes, yes, yes, I know you are very powerful, a real swordsman, but you are too hard, and it hurts me." Roger patted Lacent's arm helplessly, and said in a rather unpleasant way , "What you need to do now is to find the thing that proves that you have completed the task, isn't it? And you also need to use the treasure of the monster to pay for my potion!"

"Yes, I'm going right away!" Laughing, Lacente let go of Roger, turned and walked to another cave, and Roger finally had a chance to pick up the package that fell beside Baludymon, and opened it.

Baludymon generously gave Roger three silver coins, at least to comfort his wounded heart after throwing away so many copper coins, and then, a long sword with +15 attack power, which was more powerful than the one used by Laycent now. That is a lot more advanced.Roger was overjoyed, but then he felt a little helpless about his own joy. Obviously this was a weapon for Lycente, so why was he as happy as if he had taken advantage of it?

He scratched his hair inexplicably, and complained that most of the monsters along the way like to give away warrior-type equipment, ignoring his role as a mage-type. Roger dragged this heavy long sword to him. In the cave that Lacente had just entered, he suddenly noticed that the pile of hay not far away moved slightly, making a soft rustling sound in the silent cave, which made it difficult for him to ignore it.

With a fireball ready in his left hand for emergencies, Roger approached the pile of hay cautiously, picked up part of the hay with his long sword, and then saw a cub of Baludy.

Only the palm-sized cub has just grown gray fluff, and it doesn't look as beautiful as the adult body at all, only the pair of red eyes are amazing.Now, this little guy has lost the protection of his elders, and is curled up in the dry grass, shivering, trying in vain to hide himself.

Roger smiled slowly, and after making sure that the little guy was not aggressive, he extinguished the fireball and picked it up.

"What's that?" Didn't see Roger follow in, but when Lacente returned to look for his companion, he saw Roger holding a whining little beast with a malicious smile, so he couldn't help asking , his expression was full of disgust, "The cub of Baludy?"

"Of course, you can see it at a glance, right?" Roger nodded enthusiastically, gently pinching the cub with one hand, and quickly cleared his backpack into a small pocket with the other hand, and put the cub who had no resistance It was stuffed in, and checked several times, lest the cub be injured or have a chance to escape in such a crude way of settlement.

Finding that Roger's attention has been completely attracted by the cub of Baludy, and the eyes are as gentle as water, Lacent, who has never had such treatment before, can't help feeling a little jealous.Frowning, Lacente looked at Roger showing such a familiar expression, but he forgot where he saw it, and said dissatisfiedly, "You like this thing very much?"

"I like it very much." Roger nodded with a smile, and rubbed the small head of Baludymon with his fingertips in a good mood, full of love.

"...What's so good about this kind of thing..." Lacent muttered softly, picking his thorns awkwardly, "It's ugly and fragile."

Roger: "..." How much do you dislike Baludymon or my appearance?

"In short, it doesn't matter if you like it or not, as long as I like it." Roger felt that he probably needed to correct Lycent's distorted aesthetics for Barudymon and himself, "In all fairness, Barudy The appearance of the beast is actually very good. It has snow-white fur without any variegation, red jewel-like eyes, slender body, facial features that are not unusual, and its cry is clear. More importantly, its strength is not bad. The speed is top-notch, and I believe that many women who like cute pets are willing to pay a lot of money for it!"

"...It seems that the last sentence is the key point?" Lacente's eyes lit up.

"It's very accurate to find the key points!" Roger nodded, looking at the cub wriggling and struggling to get out of the backpack pocket, his eyes became more gentle.

Lacente suddenly realized, he finally remembered where he had seen Roger's look like this - it was clearly the look of looking at a pile of gold coins!

"Are you going to sell it?" After learning the truth, Nexant's heart instantly calmed down.

Roger glanced at him, as if he didn't even bother to answer such an obvious question, clearly expressing the message of "what to do with it if you don't sell it".

"You don't plan to raise it? You like it quite a bit, don't you?" Lacente's tone was mild.

"I like it because it can be sold for a lot of money." Roger shrugged his shoulders, "and, what am I doing raising this thing? It costs money and energy, and it's not worth the loss—unless the price of growing an adult body will It is taller and can fully make up for the money, energy and time I spent on it, but generally this kind of pet is more valuable the smaller it is, after all, the loyalty will be higher if it is raised from an early age, so the sooner you get rid of it, the more profitable it will be."

"Now I think Barudimon is quite cute." Laicant turned his back without moral integrity.

Roger didn't understand the earth-shaking emotional changes in Lycent's heart at all, so he gave him a helpless look, and then handed over the long sword beside him, "Hey, I just picked this up in the cave, it's probably Baba. Rudy Beast's Treasure? Just to replace your broken sword that has been used for so long."

"It's the first time I know that Baludymon has a hobby of collecting swords." Lacente was a little surprised, but he didn't refuse, and quickly replaced it with a new weapon.

"... Doesn't Barudimon collect swords?" Roger felt a little guilty.

"Well, Baludymon likes all kinds of shiny little things, such as gems, gold coins, and metal fragments." Laysen nodded.

Roger: "..." Why does this hobby sound so familiar!

"That's why I said, Roger, you really don't have the blood of Baludymon?" Laycent concluded solemnly.

"...Absolutely not!"
