Mercenaries and Adventurers

After being told by Apolifina, Kil finally knew why he couldn't feel his heartbeat. It's not because the soul entered this special dream at this time, but simply because he no longer has a heart at this time.

Kil's face was full of pain when he thought about this, because the woman told him that after this incident, her blood ring would temporarily replace Kil's heart function.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Kil knew that although he was rescued by the other party, not only did he owe Ms. Apophilina a huge favor, but his life was also threatened by her.

He acquiesced in the matter.

There is no other way, surviving first is the most important thing.

In addition, Ms. Apolifina also told him how to enter this dreamland to meet her.

"You may not know that you have always had a source of magic power from the monsters. Before you were about to be burned and evaporated by the magic power of the monsters, you ordered the little 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 an earthy yellow light all over its body. It had a long beard and wore a funny hat and vest. As soon as it appeared, it obediently bowed and saluted Ms. Apolifina in a funny way.

But after the salute, the little goblin's true nature was exposed. He made a small sound of laughter and laughter, and ran back and forth on the colorful pond. From time to time, he picked up a small bunch of colorful pond water and cheered, waving his hands to it. in the air.

Then he would plunge into the rock where Ms. Apolifina was sitting and disappear, but after a while, his head would emerge from the hair behind the lady's back, laughing and grabbing a small handful of hair, using it as a rope in the air. Swinging around.

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

Although Kil looked at the little thing's limited intelligence, Ms. Apolifina turned a blind eye to the goblins' behavior and seemed to know that these little things had a noisy 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 and prevented it from losing itself in the praises of the Goblin tribe day after day."

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

"It started to be curious and wanted to follow you all the way. Later, when I saw you discovered the research laboratory where I used to work, it wanted to drive you out harmlessly. However, after you picked up my bloodline ring, I contacted it. This changed the little guy’s mind.”

Ms. Apolifina stretched out a finger and gently 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 told him that there was no need for this: "This is just a dream of mine. This body at this moment is just an illusory incarnation maintained by a thought. Maybe you can think of it this way, I am this dream, And, this dream is me."

If you put it this way, Kil can still understand. Ms. Apolifina then continued to explain that after the elf helped seal the magical power of the monsters contaminated in Kil's body, there was an independent source of magic power in the seal in Kil's body.

"Although this magic power is not yours, it can be easily controlled and used by you after being controlled by the seal. And this is the energy source that can be used to control the bloodline ring that replaces your heart function."

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

Then Kil asked some details about this place, and then learned more information about this place.

Although it is a dream weaved by a lady's spell, 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 woman cannot explain, the time here is closer to eternity.

Every plant and tree inside belongs to the memory of the past, which means it is neither in the past nor in the future. Except for the materials that Kiel brought in in the future, the environment will be exactly the same every time he comes in and out.

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

Seeing Kil's shocked and thoughtful look, Ms. Apolifina had to warn Kil in a gentle voice: "Although time is different inside and outside, after the outside substances enter this place, they still belong to the being." The time of the external substances wrapped in my dream will still pass. Don’t treat this place as a warehouse where time is stagnant. A wild flower from the outside world will still weaken and decay here."

"Things you bring in from the outside world that you 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."

Only then did Keir know what the water in the colorful ponds that provided lighting in front of him was called. He didn't expect that it was called the water of memories, and it looked like something dangerous.

He couldn't help but move back, a little further away from the edge of the pond.

Kil's movements were seen by the goblin who suddenly emerged from the pond. The little guy was floating in the air, hugging his belly and bending over, laughing quietly.

was laughed at.

Keir couldn't help but straighten his face to make himself look less embarrassed. As long as you don't feel embarrassed, the guy who thinks he is embarrassed will become embarrassed himself.

Sure enough, seeing that Kil had no reaction, the little goblin floated away angrily.

Ms. Apolifina looked at all this with a smile. When the goblins flew away, she said softly: "The goblins are ancient and eternal. They are composed of the world's naughty thoughts, so although they are small in size, each one has its own unique characteristics." ability."

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

Kil thought for a moment and nodded. Although he didn't know much about this little thing, it was obvious that the goblin was called here by Ms. Apolifina because he came to assist him because of his strength.

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

It depends on him.

"I have relieved it of its original duties. From now on, it will stay here and provide you with some special help when you need it. Be careful, it is an ancient goblin, although it is not very powerful. , but it’s quite capable. When asking for its help, well, be careful.”

The lady frowned slightly: "Goodwill or malice are just things that life itself determines based on society and self-perception. Goblins have nothing to do with it. You need to pay attention."

Kil didn't quite understand, but he nodded and took note.

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

"Kiel, please thrive. I will contact you again when I see you grow into a warrior of sufficient strength. Of course, chant my name by the pond and I will come over. Don't forget, this This dream is me, I am this dream."

Kil sat cross-legged on the edge of the pond, with little goblins flying around him, and nodded gently.

outside world.

When the werewolf closed his eyes and tasted the taste of victory, he didn't know what happened to Kil next to him at that moment.

Ms. Apolifina's bloodline ring was suspended in the missing center of Kil's chest. As an invisible thing appeared from the ring, the entire ring slowly rotated in the air.

The seal on Kil's skin seemed to have received some instructions. It immediately suppressed the magic power of the Warcraft and hid it together, disappearing.

Then as the ring rotated, the blood that had been lost was controlled by the volley and poured back into the broken blood vessels in his chest, pumping powerful blood through the blood vessels to the body.

The scattered bones and flesh that were missing from the chest were invisibly manipulated and returned to their original places. As if going back in time, the damaged chest quickly returned to its original state, and even the armor on his body that had been torn apart by the werewolf returned to its original state instantly.

However, the emblem of the God of Agriculture could not be restored after being broken, and it was still broken and hanging on Kil's neck.

Kil's dim eyes became bright again as his blood and nerves came online again. Blinking his eyelids, Kil's gaze returned.

The things that Ms. Apolifina 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 stains to fresh blood, and then flowed back into the mouth, returning to the body where they originally came from. The pain in the parts of the body that had been hit instantly disappeared, and the damaged bones, muscles, and internal organs became healthy again.

On Kil's wrist, the power of the god of agriculture that was flowing back to the wooden bracelet sensed something. After being slightly confused for a while, it began to flow back into Kil's body. With their return, Kil's body was recharged with the power of the god of agriculture.

However, Kil clenched his fist slightly, but his strength was not as strong as before.

With his mind spinning, Kil guessed that it might have been the increased power given him by the rituals of the Church of Saturn when he participated in the Harvest Festival. It was estimated that when he 'died' a moment ago, he was deemed dead and therefore dissipated.

But it's okay, even though he doesn't have this enhanced strength, he is not the same person he was a few months ago.

With good food, good drinks, continuous exercise, and many life-and-death fights, these days, he is far from the same person as before. The lack of this part of strength enhancement is not a big deal.

He raised his head slightly and looked at the werewolf in front of him who was swallowing his heart wildly. Kil clenched his fists.

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

After thinking about it, Kil took two deep breaths, then put his hands on the ground and 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 center of the opponent's chest at the same moment.

The werewolf Wolf never thought that he would be kicked down by the already killed Kil. So when it opened its eyes inexplicably and turned around from where it fell, it was surprised to find that Kil, who was already dead, was getting up and walking quickly in one direction?

? ? ?

"What's going on?" It thought it was because it was too excited and was hallucinating, but when it shook its head, it realized that it wasn't the case, and that Kil was running further and further away.

"Stop! What's wrong with you? How is it possible, how is this possible?"

It was surprised, but the delicious taste in its mouth was not fake. It was true that Kil had been killed by him just now. But why did he run away so energetically?

Stumped, what kind of treasure is it? Or does Kiel have another side that no one knows about?

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

Kil's weapons were all gone, and he was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He was not afraid of colliding with the opponent again. It's just that Kil'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 it stares at the opponent with its eyes, trying to see something.

-

While the other party was not paying attention, after kicking away the werewolf Wolf, Kil got up and ran away.

After first distinguishing the east, west, north and south, Kil ran towards the ancient elf ruins based on his familiarity with this place in the past few months.

He said he was running, but he couldn't actually run. There was thick snow everywhere on the continuous wilderness, which greatly hindered his movement. Wading through the snow took more energy than usual.

But there is no way.

The werewolf Wolf was chasing closely behind him. This was the result of the opponent being unable to stand up. Once the opponent could stand up and run, it would be much higher than Kiel's height, and 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 yet healed, so we can only chase him as before. However, moving forward close to the snow on the ground seemed to solve the problem of overheating of the werewolf's body.

The two of them ran away and chased each other for a long time. Kil took a deep breath and picked up the pure white snow on the ground and put it into his mouth to relieve his thirst. And he was also a little hungry. There was still a small amount of food in the small backpack behind him, but when Kiel put his hand into the backpack, he realized that something was wrong.

Everything in the backpack was damaged and dropped.

Some of the originally sealed wooden boxes and bottles were shattered by the impact that caused him to fall into coma. At this time, when I fished it out with my backhand, I could only touch some scattered items.

"What should I do?" Kil was a little nervous as he breathed tiredly.

It would take more than a day to run straight from here to the ruins if there was no snow on the ground. Will the werewolf behind him give him a chance?

Mentally, he was doing well. After returning to the body and resurrecting from Ms. Apolifina's dream, he was in very good spirits, with clear consciousness and quick thinking. It was unclear whether it was the help of rebirth or the result of his soul staying in the dream.

But just because you are in good spirits does not mean that your body does not need to rest and eat.

Thirst can be relieved by the snow all over the world, but what about food?

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

Although his body was sore and his physical strength was barely okay with the blessing of divine power, the weakness caused by hunger still came over him overwhelmingly.

From a distance, he saw small woods in the wilderness that relied on surface water sources. After careful consideration, Keir decided to go in to find food.

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

But there is no other way.

-

The werewolf Wolf followed the snowy traces that Kil had made on the ground from a distance. Of course, it also kept Kil within its visual range. It was just afraid that if Keir was not in its sight, something weird would happen again.

Looking from a distance, Keir changed his route from heading in one direction to heading towards the nearest grove on the side.

"Hey, you can't hold it anymore, can you?" Its physical condition has been improving, so in order to paralyze the opponent, Wolf still pretended that his condition was the same as before.

At this moment, it saw Kiel running into the woods. After a quick guess, it knew that there must be a reason why Kiel had to go into the woods.

Maybe they want to use the cover of the woods to deal with it; maybe they are hungry and have no choice but to look for food; or maybe there are some ways to help the other party in the woods.

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

Comparing it with its own, it was still a little hungry at this time. Thinking this way, the other party must be the same.

Of course, we cannot doubt the endurance of human beings in crisis situations. Maybe there is something weird there, or maybe it is a trap set by the other party.

Like some dangerous beast's lair?

-

After Kil walked into the woods, he turned around and saw Wolf, the werewolf, who had been following closely in the distance in a wilderness mixed with white and gray. He saw the other person staying there for a moment before heading towards the woods again.

The movements were much more cautious.

"Okay, be careful. Slow down." Kiel muttered to himself, heading deeper into the woods.

Seeing a suitable straight small tree by the roadside, Keer walked over and kicked it down, then pulled it back and forth to break off the bottom. Then he broke off the branches of the small 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 felt a little confident.

He walked quickly towards the center of the irregular-shaped forest, lifting his visor and scanning the surrounding snow with his eyes.

As expected, there were small traces everywhere in the seemingly calm and empty woods.

In some places, the snow has raised a line, and it is obvious that something has arched underneath; some places where the tree trunks are in contact with the snow are quite messy, and there are small openings leading to the snow; some traces are just above the snow, which is obviously They are the traces of small, light animals running across the snow.

There is also snow on the trees. Basically after snowfall, there should be snow on all branches. However, there is no snow on some branches. This is obviously the result of small animals either falling on the branches or shaking the snow off when passing by the branches.

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

"It's you!" Kil whispered, then raised the wooden stick and hit the branch.
