Start by building the foundation and become the strongest adventurer

Considering Bai Qiming's mental state, Chen Shiyin did not take him down the mountain the next day, but went to Alice's Tavern alone.

Every morning, when the first rays of the sun shine on the horizon, the three Alice open the door to the tavern and wipe away all the traces of last night's party.

Lamia would hang the smoked bacon and sausages on the wooden shelves on the side of the tavern to dry, while Betty would open the railing that closed Esther, and replace the grass for him under Esther's enthusiastic licking.

Winter is coming, and Esther's hair is getting thicker, and the whole wolf looks fatter, especially the hair on his face that stretches it like a Tibetan fox.

When Chen Shiyin arrived, Selena also just pushed open the window, the girl's smile was brighter and more moving than the morning light, she waved her white arms at Chen Shiyin, and her uncombed hair curled up a few dull hairs, swaying slightly with her movements.

"Good morning, Mr. Winoca,"

Chen Shiyin also smiled and waved to Selena.

When Chen Shiyin looked at the window again, the girl was no longer there, but there was a thud of feet on the wooden floor.

Selena was wearing a white dress and pajamas, her ankles and knees were smooth and red, she excitedly held a painting to Chen Shiyin, and then put her hands behind her back as if waiting for Chen Shiyin's compliment.

Chen Shiyin took Selena's painting, which still had a burst of fragrance and residual warmth that seemed to have been taken out of the bed, and saw three abstract "things" painted on it.

Selena seems to be imitating Chen Shiyin's ink painting method, but what she paints can only be described as a mess of ink.

I saw the three "things" on this painting, all with big heads and thin bodies like hair, walking hand in hand on a piece of black paint, revealing a demented smile of "Abba Aba".

The three "things", one with square and triangular eyes, and a bun painted on the back of the head that looked like it was going to hang him.

Chen Shiyin only felt that his eyes were dark, if he hadn't recognized the portrait Selena had painted for him before, he wouldn't have recognized that this was himself if he had beaten him to death.

Next to Chen Shiyin is Selena, who is painted with white hair, and her eyes are two crescent moons made of straight lines. Selena seems to want to learn the technique of white space, so the white part of the hair is not colored, so it looks as if there is only half a head, and the part of the head is completely absent.

As for Gianna, Selena seemed to want to show off her height, so she saw a head wrapped in a cloud of purple paint, floating in the air...

"This is a picture of us going to the Cave of Sorrow together. Chen Shiyin said.

"Hmm~Hmm~ yes. Selena seemed happy that Chen Shiyin recognized her paintings, "My mother and aunt used to say that although my paintings were beautiful, it was hard to see what they were. "

I didn't expect Mr. Winoca to see it at a glance, and sure enough, Mr. Winoca is very powerful!"

Alice's voice came in the middle of speaking.

"Selena, don't go barefoot, it's still cold in the morning, be careful of catching a cold.

Chen Shiyin looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Alice walking towards him.

"Got it, Mother Alice. Mr. Winoca, see you later.

Selena stumbled back upstairs.

"Don't beat our Selena's idea. Alice said solemnly.

However, Chen Shiyin did not intend to continue on this topic, but directly explained his intentions.

"Blacksmith," Alice touched her chin and thought, "If you want to talk about skilled blacksmiths, there is a dwarven blacksmith on the side of the Fka Empire, not far from here, as long as you cross the border of the Fka Empire, you can walk west for about half a day to reach their border town of Komodo"

"But dwarves have always been moody, and they don't have the money to ask them to build things."

"What were the conditions when others asked him to build things in the past?" Chen Shiyin asked.

"There are all kinds of conditions, and different people will have different conditions, so it's weird. Alice clasped her hands on her chest and said, "So if you want to ask the other person to build something, you'd better be prepared to be turned away." "

Thank you for informing, I'll treat the hostess to a drink another day."

Alice smiled heartily after hearing this: "Hahaha, please have a drink, then you have to prepare enough gold coins."

Chen Shiyin arched his hand and said with a smile: "Then I will be out of company first."

Saying that, Chen Shiyin turned around and wanted to leave, but before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Alice:

"Hey, you don't plan to go to the Fuka Empire like this." If you enter the border without a pass, you will be attacked by the people of the Fuka Empire.

Chen Shiyin originally wanted to fly over directly, but since he was asked, he simply pretended to ask, "How can I get the pass?"

Alice looked at Chen Shiyin and sighed softly: "Alas, you don't know anything." It used to be easy to do, but since the Fka Empire and the Duchy of Renas jointly attacked the Manha'i religious state, the pass has basically not been obtained. "

That—

" Before Chen Shiyin could speak, Alice continued

, "But if you really want to go over, it's not impossible. Once you reach the border of the Fuka Empire, you will directly duel with the leader of the Border Guards.

When Chen Shiyin heard this, he was thinking that with the situation in front of him, it might not be easy to win, but Alice's next sentence made him a little confused.

"But you must not win a duel, and of course you can't win against a C-rank adventurer. All you have to do is find a way to get yourself less hurt and lose, and then you have to tell everyone around you that you've lost and then continue the duel. "

It's... "

You'll know if you do it, and if you're lucky, you'll lose three or five times, and the other party should let you go."

Alice was about to go back to the tavern to continue packing her things, but she suddenly turned around and added to Chen Shiyin

, "By the way, for the sake of you being half of Selena's teacher, I'll tell you one more thing." Don't think about sneaking over or flying over, the magic guide technology of the Fuka Empire is the most advanced in the entire Mains Continent. "

Thank you for the reminder. Chen Shiyin thanked him and walked towards the west.

Not long after Chen Shiyin left, Selena, who had put on her shoes and changed her clothes, came down again.

"Eh, what about Mr. Winoca?"

"He's gone to the Fuka Empire, and it will take a few days to return. The

girl had a slightly disappointed expression on her face.

"I'd like to show him this—"

Selena clenched her palm.
