Civilization Guardian Front

"Hmm...it's...a close call..." Wiping the sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand, Asuna replied with difficulty:

"Before we go...haha...I should be careful and ask the nearby villagers for information, sorry, everyone."

"Haha..." Lyfa comforted with a smile:

"It's not your fault alone. Who would have thought that there were such huge crabs hidden in the river."

"No, but, it's okay...it's only when it's walking sideways...it's very fast, and it can be thrown when it runs around the road...cough cough cough!"

The breathing speed could not meet the needs of the body and speech at the same time, and the girl who couldn't breathe for a while coughed violently.

"Really, don't rush to speak since you're still panting."

Ren patted Priestess on the back and handed over the water bag.

"Thanks.. Thank you."

"You're welcome, this is an apology."

"apologize?"

"Well, when you ran away, Ryan originally planned to leave you for Mr. Crab to eat."

"Huh~~~~?"

The priestess, who had no blood on her face, retreated in a hurry, away from her malicious companions.

"Ren, don't play tricks on people."

"Yeah, please stop making such heart-breaking jokes."

Asuna and Lyfa put on a straight face to stop Ryan from teasing their new companions.

In this regard, Ryan shook his head as if feeling helpless.

"Hey, a group of prudish people who have no sense of humor. If Big Brother Chios is here, he will definitely cooperate with me."

"Sensei, he doesn't..." In the middle of speaking, Asuna suddenly lost confidence.

"Think about it carefully, maybe the teacher will really do this."

Lyfa also crossed her arms, and seconded:

"Although he is a handsome boy who looks like he just walked out of a painting, his personality is completely different from that of Prince Charming."

Hearing this, Priestess couldn't help asking curiously:

"Mr. Chios has a bad personality?"

"Hmm, how should I put it..." Lyfa fell into deep thought with a little distress.

"Speak politely, treat people with a refined and humble attitude, and be considered considerate to girls."

"That... sounds like an advantage?"

"It's true, but behind his understanding, there is a deep-rooted evil taste that takes pleasure in girls' panic. The redder the girl's face is, the happier he smiles. Do you understand?"

"Haha..." Priestess responded in a ignorant manner.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that when Miss Lyfa said these words, she didn't have much disgust, but rather an annoyance that she couldn't do anything about the other party.

Guessing what the Priestess was thinking at the moment, Ren put her hand on her mouth and made a whispering gesture, but the volume did not decrease at all:

"There's no need to think about it too much. Regardless of the attitudes of the two of them now, they actually like the bad side of Big Brother Chios the most, especially Asuna, both physically and mentally...addicted. "

"Rain!?"

Asuna blushed like a fire.

Seeing this, Ryan spread his hands.

"There's nothing to be shy about. The popularity of bad men has never changed. In the Tao, characters like Prince Charming are only attractive in short-lived dreams. In real life, serious, unsentimental decent men are no longer attractive. It's not interesting to be handsome, but it's more exciting to be with a gentle and handsome devil, right?"

"Ugh..."

"Don't deny it, or I will have to bring the new team members to listen to your performance in the double room at night."

"...if the teacher is the devil, you are the devil."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Ren held the non-existent skirt with both hands and bowed, like a well-bred young lady.

Chapter 850 Eight?

Cut off the right paw of the dead kobold, drill the hole with a knife, string together several strings according to the level and throw them into the sack, the individual organs of the female and the heads of the guards are packed separately, and then start to search for valuable loot in the cave .

The kobolds have a habit of collecting metals and gems from top to bottom, and they spend almost all their spare time digging mines. Even if low-status slaves and slave labor have to hand over [-]% of their harvest to the tribal leaders, they still It is a tireless mining.

Of course, according to this racially strict social class, they have no other choice.

The metal was very heavy, and he couldn't carry too much on him, so Chios didn't waste his energy on moving those kobolds who were obviously poor and white, and only concentrated on rummaging for the corpses of the higher-ranking members of the clan.

The most conspicuous target is naturally the decorations made by the kobolds with the most valuable things they have.

After some searching, except for the gold belt inlaid with gemstones on the kobold guard, Chios tore off a total of more than ten gold and silver amulets, and the same number of precious metal nose rings.

Coupled with a few unprocessed gold mines hidden under the iron throne, it can be said that the harvest is quite fruitful.

Roughly estimate the income from this mission, after including the entrustment reward, it may reach more than 10 gold...

So are robbers.

Bringing valuables, Chios immediately set fire to the abandoned mine, burning all the unremovable supplies, corpses, and traces of the monster's past life.

Since it took a lot of time to process the loot, the return journey was only a third of the way, and the sky gradually darkened.

It was at least twenty kilometers further to the nearest village.

By the time Chios and Alice arrived, most of the local residents must have fallen asleep.

At this time, knocking on the door and asking for an overnight stay is not only impolite, but also affects the rest of the homeowner.

The two who had the same idea immediately decided to camp overnight in the forest on the spot.

Alice, who holds the golden osmanthus sword, a magic weapon, cuts trees as cleanly as cutting fruits.

The sufficient supply of wood resources allowed Chios to quickly build a solid shelter, and by the way made a whole set of tables and chairs and two simple beds with stacked leaves.

Finally, put a pot of decorative flowers on the table.

Suddenly it feels like home...

Through Alice's gentle expression and speech, it can be seen that she is very satisfied with this temporary residence.

Not long after, the night completely covered the entire forest.

...

Clap, clap...

Accompanied by the sound of burning firewood, the sparks jumped into the air and disappeared without a trace after dancing and blooming for a short time.

In the open space in front of the hut, on the flattened log chair, Chios stared at the swaying flames, and occasionally raised his eyes to look at the white steaming iron pot.

Alice, who was sitting opposite, stirred the pot with a long wooden ladle from time to time to avoid burning the ingredients that settled at the bottom.

"Does even the chief knight have to cook for himself when troops are marching?"

"No, we usually pay people in nearby villages to prepare food. If we happen to be camping in a remote place that day, we can eat the dry food and water we bring and rest early. But this is rare, after all, we have mounts , basically there will be no situation where you can't find the village after riding for a day..."

Alice answered.

She understood that the other party was actually asking how she accumulated experience in cooking in the wild.

So after a short pause, she poked the meat with a wooden ladle, and after feeling that it was still not tender enough, she continued to explain:

"Before coming to The Church, my sister and I experienced a difficult time. Not only did we have picnics, but we also learned the tricks of setting traps to catch hares and catching fish in streams."

Although the tone is understated, you can feel the hardships of the girl's wandering and helplessness in the past, struggling for survival.

"Are you not a native of Theocracy?"

"Accident?"

"A little bit." Chios admitted with a nod.

Alice smiled slightly.

There was a little bitterness in the smile.

With her cherry lips parted slightly, she uttered a familiar phrase:

"Curse of the Undead."

"what..."

"Like you, I am the one who was cursed by the undead to destroy my hometown and came here."

Hearing this answer, Chios' expression changed significantly for the first time.

"But as far as I know, apart from the one that led to the destruction of my motherland a few months ago, the last time the curse of the undead cursed man broke out should have been 40 years ago."

Alice shook her head.

"The kind you are talking about is a disaster that is big enough to affect the survival of the nations..." She said, picking up the herb bunches on her lap and putting them into the pot.

"Maybe you used to live in a large capital city with campfires, so you don't know. The spread of the curse of undead on a small and medium scale has never stopped for more than 40 years."

"That's it."

Chios, who lacked practical experience, could only follow Alice's words and give a vague answer.

"Strange, isn't it?"

Before the young man could speak, the blond girl continued in a sad tone:

"It stands to reason that since the disaster 40 years ago ended, it means that a certain salary king has passed on the throne. However, the world has not completely returned to normal. It seems that the temperature of the flame is not enough, and the dark and cold fangs still exist. When we thought we were peaceful and safe, it appeared unexpectedly, leaving a mark on people that symbolized the curse."

"Lord Alice..."

No matter how sophisticated Chios was, he didn't know how to comfort him at this moment.

"Have you heard of the Church of the Deep, Chios?"

Alice's sudden question made Chios startled.

After recalling it in his mind in an instant, he nodded and selectively revealed some of the information he knew to increase his persuasiveness:

"I know a little bit. They are believers who believe that after the age of fire, the age of deep sea is coming, right?"

"It seems that where you live, there are also people from Youshen forces who are spreading heresy..." From this sentence, it can be heard that Alice is hostile to Youshen's belief attitude.

She went on to ask:

"Where's the mentor? Have you met the mentor of the Deep Church?"

Chios pretended to be hesitant, and after thinking for a moment, he replied:

"Master...does that mean a bloated woman in a robe?"

"Um."

Alice's face darkened slightly.

Snapped!

The wooden ladle was broken with a sudden forceful hand.

"My parents were killed by the teacher of the Deep Church, although in their mouth, it is called rebirth at the end of suffering, they..."

Chios approached Alice, pressed the girl's shoulders, and gently stopped her:

"do not talk."

Hearing the intense pain and hatred that Alice showed when she mentioned this matter, he didn't want the other party to continue to think about it.

On the other hand, he still wants to keep his appetite for dinner later...

Because he had studied relevant information before taking office, he was not completely ignorant of the rituals of the Nether Church, and even the reason why the mentor was bloated.
