Is this really just an RPG? !

The plot always develops in an unexpected direction, just like the situation in front of you - the brave Neil came to the village of Matthew Snow Mountain to rest and prepare for the next day to climb the snow mountain; since you are here, why not try here With the mentality of the hot spring, after talking with the village chief, he went directly to the hot spring, but unexpectedly met the legendary snow wolf.

Ever since, the brave man and the werewolf met each other very happily, and they simply soaked in the hot spring together to watch the moon and talk about life. Not only that, they also decided to sleep together for a night to have a more in-depth exchange.

"...The above is purely a boring idiot elf's brain-filling content, there is no such thing."

"But the master and Mr. Gabby really get along!"

"It's just a matter of talking."

As I said this, the movement of wiping my head stopped.

The so-called "Mr. Gabi" refers to the werewolf with white hair that he met in the hot spring. According to his self-introduction, Gabi is a rare snow wolf werewolf, and he is also one of the generals under the Demon King. , good at raiding the enemy and tearing the enemy apart with strong limbs and sharp teeth, especially where there is snow, the fighting ability will be stronger.

Simply put, this Mr. Werewolf is very powerful.

Gabi who appeared here did not come to stop me, on the contrary, he also hoped that I could rush to the Demon King's Palace as soon as possible to take Her Royal Highness away.

——So what have you done, Your Highness Lilith, to frighten this group of demons?

"Here, milk."

Qiuqiu suddenly handed over a bottle of milk.

"Oh, thank you……"

Because I was thinking about Gabi, I didn't react for a while, and it took me a long time to respond and reach out to take the bottle. Looking at the milky white liquid in the bottle, I suddenly remembered that the milk in this world seems to come from the fruit of a plant that can only grow in cold regions. Once the fruit is squeezed, it will flow out juice of this color. After waking up, after some processing, it became the bottled milk in my hand, which was different from what I remembered... Even so, I only have a vague feeling about the things in that world.

"Gulu Gulu."

The taste is pretty good.

"Master, is Mr. Gabi going to discuss something with you?"

"Well, he seems to want to ask me a favor."

As I said that, I looked down at the screen on the left.

The task bar that hadn't responded when talking with the village chief before, suddenly refreshed a side task after meeting Gabi and chatting for a while. It is most likely because of the sentence Gabi said when he left the hot spring pool, "If possible, I hope the brave man can help me", but compare the two clients before and after, and think about the request of the village chief.

…………

Could it be that the system has long expected that I will meet Gabi, and Gabi is the legendary snow wolf?

It always feels like walking according to a certain arranged script.

Pretty annoying.

"Is the master planning to agree?"

"If I really want to say it, I really don't want to agree, but Gabi offered an exchange."

"He shouldn't say something like 'If you help me, I won't stop you from going to the Demon King's Castle'..."

A trace of disdain appeared on Qiuqiu's face.

I smiled helplessly. What Qiuqiu said was indeed possible. After all, the combat power of the opponent was much higher than ours, and violent pressure might appear.

But Gabby didn't.

It would be better to say that when communicating in the hot spring pool, I have the absolute upper hand.

As for the reason...

"Anyway, it's the devil who wants something from me now, so Gabi won't make things difficult for me."

"It's true, the master can't suffer in vain, after all, it's black when cut... I didn't say anything."

"Just now, I should have heard a bad review."

"Nothing, master! What kind of request did Mr. Gabi make?"

"He said that we will meet at the gate of the village tomorrow morning, and he will tell me then."

At that time, Gabi turned into a snow wolf, howled at the moon, and left directly. He was a little chic in his nature, and never considered leaving here in a normal way. But when I thought that the other party was already very abnormal when he came, I didn't care about it. After all, Gabi is a snow wolf. Even if he becomes a werewolf, he can't change the conspicuous white hair. It's probably okay to leave quietly like this He had already planned it.

My gaze returned to the empty bottle in my hand.

"That's right, Qiuqiu."

"What's wrong?"

"Where did you get this bottle of milk from?"

"When I came here, I saw it and took it with me."

"..."

Isn't that just stolen?

"Anyway, as a hero, you can take whatever you want!"

"...Well, I don't seem to understand your definition of a brave man?"

"The so-called hero takes everything, kills everything, and burns everything!"

"That's the devil!"

I don't want to continue complaining about my partner's three views, it might be better to talk about the place where Qiuqiu went to school.

In short, after changing my clothes, I walked to the counter, paid for the milk by the way, and then went straight back to the hotel to get ready to rest. At first I planned to sit in the lobby of the hotel for a while, to see if I could ask about the snow wolf, but I didn't expect to meet the target directly, so I didn't waste any more time and went back to the room to fall asleep early.

It didn't take long, however, for me to regret the "early to bed, early to rise" plan.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a werewolf sitting by the bed, holding a wine glass in his right hand, looking at me with a teasing smile on his face.

"Good morning, brother, do you want to make an appointment in the morning?"

"..."

"Brother, what are you talking about? I can't hear clearly."

"Imprisonment. [Imprisonment]"

Somewhat angry, I mercilessly tied up this werewolf who broke into my room from nowhere and when, and then calmly ignored the existence of this guy, washed, ate breakfast, and so on. After tidying up, she leisurely sat down in front of him.

"Okay Mr. Gabby, can you tell me why you suddenly appeared here."

"In order to give the Brave-sama a morning full of surprises, it hurts! Please forgive me!"

"It was a bit of a surprise this morning, I was terrified."

"I'm really sorry! I just remembered because I left yesterday. I only said the village gate but didn't leave a detailed address. I was afraid that I couldn't wait for His Highness the Brave at the correct address, so I broke in without authorization!"

"..."

The demon king's subordinates are really quite distinctive.

"By the way, Mr. Brave, you sleep well... Pain! My mistake!"

"Tell me what you want to entrust me with."

"This is also one of the purposes, but can you remove this first?"

Gabi looked at the emerald-green magic chains on his body with some distress. It was a chain that I deliberately used wind attribute magic power to imitate. Although the confinement effect was not very powerful, it just restricted most of Gabi's power. The white fur on Gabi's body shows that most of the magic power in his body belongs to the ice system. Although there is no such thing as wind restraining ice or wind resisting ice, my intuition tells me that as long as I use wind attribute chains, I can control the opponent to the greatest extent. .

In fact, it is true.

However, it's just that the other party has restrained and didn't explode too casually, right?

In terms of comprehensive combat effectiveness evaluation, I am the one who was crushed.

Of course, I didn't take it seriously, I just looked at the other party with a smile on my face, and pulled the chain casually.

"If Mr. Gabi doesn't plan to talk, I don't mind leaving immediately, because I still have to rush to August."

"It's my fault! I'll explain it right away! Please forgive me, Lord Brave!"

Minutes lowered his head to admit his mistake, and the tail that had been hanging down also cocked up.

Inexplicably, there is a sense of sight of a large dog... However, wolf dogs are originally a family.

"It's actually like this. I'm the white wolf, and I live in the Matthew Snow Mountain... Well, it was like this before I was selected as a subordinate by the Lord Demon King." Gabi didn't make any more jokes, but started to talk about the content of the commission in a serious manner. , I just waved my hand and removed the [Confinement], so as not to pass out because the magic power of the maintenance spell was exhausted before I finished listening. But Gabi didn't care about this, he still focused on telling me the content of the commission, "Just like the legend, I was born to protect the rules of this village."

"Who gave you the responsibility?"

I asked with some curiosity.

But Gabi asked back with a subtle smile.

"Probably Matthew?"

"Are you kidding? How could such obvious magic power in your body be Matthew? He is a member of the flame."

"That's true, but even I don't understand my birth. It seems that I suddenly appeared on this snow mountain. How to use magic power, how to fight, everything on the snow mountain, and even the responsibility of guarding this rule are all direct. It came to my mind until...my body mutated, and then I was selected as one of the generals by Lord Demon King."

"until?"

"Um."

Gabby nodded.

"The moment I said yes, these things disappeared from my mind, leaving only the memory of 'was there'."

"Oh... It really looks like Matthew did it."

According to this kind of god development, it is mostly related to the group of unreliable gods in this world, and the god of this Matthew Snow Mountain is Matthew, the family member of the flame. The source of the legend of the white wolf may really be related to him. In addition, there is only one white wolf in the legend of the white wolf, but the wolf is a pack creature, just like the group of magic wolves I encountered in Mark Village not long ago.

"Yong, Mr. Brave?"

"No, no, it's not a joke this time, I really think it's possible."

"Maybe."

Probably because the topic was too off topic, Gabi didn't know how to proceed.

Wait!

If so, then the village chief said "Master Bai hasn't shown up for several months", that is to say...

I looked at Gabi meaningfully, and he immediately understood what I meant, and nodded helplessly.

"Yes, the disappearance time of 'Master Bai' mentioned by the villagers was when I went to the palace of the devil king."

"That's it."

No wonder the system didn't give me a task, because that entrustment was not a difficult task at all. If Gabi has something to ask, I will definitely come to me, and his commission has something to do with the legend of the white wolf, so he will tell me his identity and the content of the legend of the white wolf. The matter entrusted to me can be resolved immediately.

It's really not letting me take advantage of a little bit of cheapness.

With some resentment, he poked the screen with his left index finger, and turned his gaze back to Gabi after a while.

"That's not the only thing you want to entrust, right?"

"Actually, not long after I left, a new white wolf was born."

"..."

It's really a godsend's handwriting!

"It's just that something went wrong."

"Eh?"

Originally complaining about "God is so boring" in my heart, but Gabi's words drew my attention back.

"A little question?"

"Hmm..." Gabi looked out the window, and through the window, he could see the snow-covered mountain roads and trees outside. It was a vast expanse of whiteness, and only occasionally rare birds and monsters could be seen flying by. There is only one wolf, and I was born after the last one died...don't ask me why I know, I just remember this kind of thing."

"Is that so, that is to say, a new white wolf appeared before you died, and now there is a weird logic error?"

"logical error?"

"Ah, don't pay attention to the word, you continue."

He also said strange words that even I didn't understand. Fortunately, Gabi didn't care.

He was probably thinking about how to explain it to me, and he just stared at the ceiling and lost himself in thought.

At this time, I didn't wait, but glanced at the screen on the right, and saw a skill called [Learning from Other Worlds], and couldn't help but slap my forehead. I don't know when this skill will appear. It is a passive skill that can be triggered anytime and anywhere. More importantly, I still have no way to turn off this passive skill!

I don't even know what triggers it.

It's bad enough.

Just when I wanted to continue trying the various buttons on the window, Gabi seemed to have already considered how to tell me.

"After the birth of a white wolf, there will often be a trial. It may be a life-and-death battle, or it may be just a joke, but you must go through such a battle before you can gain wisdom and become a real white wolf."

"Probably because I still exist. Although the white wolf was born, it has never encountered its own trials. As a white wolf, I can't attack it, so..."

"You want me to be the test object, don't you?"

"That's it."

Looking at Gabi's sincere expression, I couldn't help but sigh.

In the final analysis, I just want me to fight with the newly born white wolf.

At this time, a new task finally appeared on the task bar. While drinking water, I pretended to be thinking about what Gabi said, and I focused all my attention on the newly emerging mission information.

"Sub-quest [White Wolf's Trial]

Mission introduction: The newly born white wolf in Matthew Snow Mountain needs a battle that will allow it to gain wisdom. Even the brave warriors who fight against the five scum should take on this responsibility and go to fight the white wolf so that he can gain his own trial. refining.

Task requirements: 1. Have a battle with the newly born white wolf (not completed)”

Well, the adjective "war five scum" is redundant, and there is nothing wrong with the others.

And the requirement is only to "fight once", and it doesn't say that you must win or lose. It's a relatively simple task, right?

If it's just a little help, I'd be happy to do it, after all, I'm a brave man!

——Even if the object of help is a demon, it is still a very strange demon with a perverted habit.

"I see, please take me there."

"Thank you so much!"

※ ※ ※ ※

Careless, careless, careless!

Completely careless!

Never imagined that it would be so difficult to fight.

"Huh...huh...uh..."

At this moment, I was holding a dagger tightly in my right hand, staring at the white wolf in front of me, panting heavily. Although the white wolf that growled constantly had many wounds on its body, they were only skin wounds, which did not really affect his life, and were ready to pounce on me at any time.

In contrast, although I look much better, my physical strength is almost at the limit.

In the final analysis, I underestimated the word game of the system.

The so-called [Trial of the White Wolf] is not just the trial of the newborn white wolf, it is also a terrible trial for me who needs to fight - unable to use magic props, unable to use magic scrolls, unable to let Qiuqiu helped me provide information about the enemy, and the only weapon I could use was the dagger in my hand.

This is the weapon that the uncle blacksmith gave me when I was in Mark Village. I have always carried it with me, but I have never used it.

After all, I'm not a close-combat hero who can slash with others with just a sword.

It can even be said that fortunately it is this dagger, otherwise I would not even be able to hold a weapon.

A poor brave man with only 5 strength.

I feel the great malice of this world towards me.

"Wuuuu..."

The white wolf kept walking around me, making low growls from time to time, trying to find my weakness. In order to prevent the sudden attack, I had no choice but to follow the white wolf in circles and keep facing him forever. It's not an option to spend it like this, but I have to.

The magic power is still sufficient, and the mental state is acceptable, but the physical strength is not enough. Based on my current strength, even if I launched a sudden attack, I would probably faint due to loss of strength just after making the move, and the winner would be the white wolf... Although the mission clearly stated that "finish the battle" is enough, and in the battle Before the start, Gabi made a guarantee that once one party loses the ability to continue fighting, he will take action to end the fight.

That is to say, there is no danger of life.

But as a hero, it would be too embarrassing to lose in such a place!

I really want to close my eyes and take a deep breath to relieve it, but the opponent can’t give me this chance. As long as I dare to close my eyes, even if it’s just for a second, the white wolf may directly rush up and aim at my neck or arm. Take a bite.

[It's time to think of a way. 】

Thinking this way, I swung my right hand a few times and walked a few steps casually.

White Wolf's speed is much faster than mine. From the beginning until now, I have only fought in a conservative manner, defending every attack of White Wolf as much as possible, using counterattacks to consume his physical strength, and the effect is obvious. The white wolf in front of him was completely helpless with this set of tactics, and even scarred himself.

But the failure of this tactic is that I didn't take into account my physical strength.

It is very likely that the other party just started to pant before he was exhausted and fell down.

It's an extremely bad situation.

"call……"

After a period of confrontation, I finally adjusted my breathing and recovered a little bit of my physical strength. My whole body was no longer numb like before, and I could hardly even hold the dagger tightly in my right hand. If it were an opponent with sufficient actual combat experience, it would probably take a few hits to discover my problem, but now my opponent is just a wolf.

Although he is a white wolf, he has not acquired the wisdom that a white wolf should have.

He has not yet become a real white wolf.

"Develop the magic circle."

Holding the dagger in both hands, leaning forward, I recited a spell while guarding against the white wolf. As soon as the voice fell, the magic power in the body and surroundings became active as if stimulated by something, and a magic circle appeared under the feet.

These changes made the white wolf nervous. He bent down and charged towards me.

"really……"

When I met those fierce and bright red eyes, I didn't feel the slightest panic.

Because it's all in my expectation.

As a melee monster, the white wolf also has a certain amount of magic power in its body due to the influence of the environment, and can detect changes in magic power. But the ignorant white wolf only knows that the change in magic power means that something dangerous will appear, but he doesn't know what kind of danger it is.

He rushed over instinctively, trying to interrupt my spell.

Activate the skill [Flash].

The space was distorted in an instant, and the afterimage left by the white wolf passed through me and landed in the center of the magic circle without hitting anything, while I appeared behind him.

This is the time I need.

"Imprisonment! [Imprisonment]"

Stretching out his open left hand and chanting the incantation, the magic power around him began to gather, turning into several emerald green chains to bind the white wolf. After confirming that he couldn't break free, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Gabi who was standing not far away. Gabi winked her eyes desperately, probably trying to convey the meaning of "Thanks for your hard work" to me.

——However, I just think that stupid expression is very funny.

The side quests on the task bar have been completed, and seeing that no new quests have been spawned, I relieved myself of the chain, and then sat on the snow without a trace and gasped for breath.

"Thank you, Master Brave."

"Since you think I've worked hard, please pay me more!"

Since Gabi's thanks didn't have an iota of sincerity, I couldn't help complaining.

Although the opponent's strength is much stronger than mine, but because it's just a wolf cub, the effect of [Confinement] is not too bad, and there will be no way to break free for a while.

Yes, pup, just a pup.

I was beaten so painfully!

I suddenly feel so tired...

"It seems to be successful...?"

"Ah, oh, you said that white wolf."

Somewhat surprised by Gabi's words, I raised my head to find that his eyes fell on the white wolf lying on the ground licking its wounds, and I suddenly realized. The battle just now had indeed successfully inspired something. Although the current white wolf is still the cub with no strong fighting power, his temperament has undergone a fundamental change.

It is estimated that this strategy will no longer be effective in the next battle.

"All in all, I am really grateful to Brave-sama."

"Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome, since you want to thank me so much, how about taking me to the Demon King's Palace? It just so happens that I don't have any energy at all right now, and I'll probably have to rest for a whole day if I want to recover my energy."

"...Are you really being rude?"

Gabby looked at me helplessly.

It can't be helped, I'm just being honest.

"But it's a pity that Lord Demon King asked me to go back quickly, so there is no way to take you, Mr. Brave, to the Palace of Demon King."

"It's too much!"

It was obviously an apology, but I didn't feel any apology in the werewolf's tone.

Stand up and pat the snow on your body.

"So, don't you still have strength?!"

"Are you dissatisfied?"

"...No, there is nothing wrong with me."

"That's good."

"Gabi, is there something urgent for the devil to invite you back?"

Thinking that the werewolf hadn't left yet, I asked casually.

But I saw Gabby's embarrassed expression.

"Isn't it easy to say?"

"No...just..."

"If it's not easy to say, you don't need to say it. Anyway, I am only responsible for going to the Demon King's Palace to bring Princess Lilith back to the Alexander Empire. As long as the rest of the things don't appear in the commission, I basically don't want to care about them."

Although it is a bit cold to say, it is actually the case.

"It's not that I can't say it. In fact, because of this matter, I have to make another request to Mr. Brave."

"Eh?"

I stared blankly at him for a long time before I came back to my senses, and then quickly looked at the task bar, and found that there were no new tasks at all, and even the task prompt did not appear. In other words, this request made by Gabi will definitely be fulfilled on my travels?

I couldn't help being a little curious.

Gabby looked worried.

"Master Demon King said that the war may start soon."

"Start, start a war?!"

For a moment, I felt that my brain might not be enough.

"Not with the Alexander Empire."

"It's not even with the Alexander Empire?!"

Probably not a little, but definitely not enough.

"The war from the south is very inexplicable, so the devil asked me to go back."

"From the south?!"

I can't keep up with Gabi's rhythm at all.

He didn't explain much, he just said a few words, and said goodbye to me. Then he turned into a wolf and howled, jumped down from the top of the snow-capped mountain, and ran towards August. Looking at Gabi's figure, I didn't turn my head to look at Qiuqiu beside me until I couldn't see him at all.

——The sound just now is really not afraid of avalanches. Could it be that because it is a white wolf, it has its own benefits of "howling wolves will not cause avalanches"?

"Demons, want to start a war? With the south?"

"Even if you ask me about this kind of thing, Master, it's impossible for me to know."

Qiuqiu shrugged, expressing his inability to do anything.

"It's true, there will be no records in the endless library, after all, it hasn't happened yet."

"What is the master going to do next?"

"No matter what, you have to go to August! Whether it is to complete the commission to bring back the princess, or to understand the reason why the demons started the war, or to investigate the country that started the war, you have to go to August .”

"Let's go then."

"...Is this left here?"

Before I took a step, I retracted and turned to look at the white wolf not far away.

He actually lay down here and started to sleep without paying attention!

What about wildness? Why would any guy sleep so boldly in the wild!

"Probably because this is Matthew Snow Mountain, and he is the guardian here...even if it's just a wolf cub."

"makes sense."

After all, I'm going to August, and I can't stay here forever with this lonely wolf cub.

I hope to have the opportunity to pass by here again in the future and see another look of him.

Looking up from a distance, you can see the black city wall.

There is my destination: August City.

And the Demon King's Palace is right in the center of August City.

I couldn't help but want to speed up my pace, but when I turned my head, I found Qiuqiu standing still in the air, as if thinking about something.

"how?"

Seeing Qiuqiu's facial expressions change too many times in a short period of time, I was a little worried whether she was frozen stupid. "Speaking of which, it's obvious that the other party is just a wolf cub, Master, you were beaten into a mess."

"..." My partner is simply too much!
