Sword and Magic and Taxi

　　 Rangers live in the wild for a long time, mainly relying on their own martial arts and familiarity with the wild environment. But the manpower is always exhausted, and even the smart ranger sometimes needs help. Therefore, they will domesticate some animals as their life partners.

　　 That old bald dog named "Dog Meat" is Karl's animal companion, and he has spent 20 years together. Together, they hunted in the dense forest, tracked and drove the evil creatures that entered the forest, and prevented the goblins and kobolds from invading the surrounding villages, let alone allowing them to establish a stronghold in this forest.

　　 This kind of feeling and tacit understanding is similar to that of a soldier and his army dog, it is a kind of fetter that entangles the soul. Carl slowly ages, and the "dog meat" ages faster. About five years ago, it couldn't adapt to high-intensity battles. So Carl gave him a new task: guarding the tree house in the forest.

　　 The new animal companion is the python called "Long Chong", who is currently in a period of physical strength. After long-term training, it has learned to fight with the rangers and take care of each other's lives. Carl would take it to cruise in the dense forest, but never took it to Nepo Town.

　　The reason is also very easy to understand: a thick python is definitely not as good as a big dog, and the latter will not cause any panic.

　　 Anaconda knows that one day he can follow him to town, especially as Karl will gradually age, and anaconda can help him load goods. It quietly waits for the day when the old dog dies, which is the day when it officially takes over. Before that, it kept rubbing its body in its nest, hoping to become stronger and stronger.

　　 Zhao Mai is not afraid of pythons, but he can't like them either. All his attention was on the yellow hair ball in his arms. This is a little male dog, about the size of a volleyball, with a thin body under the long fluff, not a few pounds heavy, and it is distressing to hug it lightly in his arms.

　　 The little dark brown nose kept sniffing on Zhao Mai. It seemed that he smelled something he likes. He lifted his upper body and tried to climb higher. The two hind legs were straightened hard, and the two front paws kept scratching.

　　 Zhao Mai grabbed the puppy and looked up and down strangely. The puppy couldn't restrain his excitement, his waist and hind legs volleyed in circles, and his mouth made a whining anxious cry. "Really cute stupid dog." Zhao Mai satisfied his desire and put the fur ball on his shoulder.

　　 The puppy immediately became honest, lying on his shoulders comfortably, clutching Zhao Mai's T-shirt with his small paws, and squinting his eyes and starting to doze.

　　 "Since you like me so much, I will take good care of you." Zhao Mai reached out and grabbed the puppy's tail, causing it to sway and express dissatisfaction.

　　 The puppy liked the position of the shoulder, and said nothing to come down. Even when Zhao Mai used his hands and feet to climb to the second tree hole, the puppy refused to move. From time to time, it stuck out its tongue and licked Zhao Mai's shoulder and neck. It was cold and itchy, causing Zhao Mai to giggle. This is how small things express affection.

　　 The tree hole is very simple, a pile of old furs that have been laid for years is his bed, half of the wood is used for pillows, and the clean, hairless leather is used as a quilt. There is no door in the tree hole. Ventilation and light collection are all completed by the entrance and exit with only half a person's height. In the corner of the hole, there are piles of dried fruits such as acorns, chestnuts, and walnuts, which are about 100 kilograms. Therefore, the tree hole is always filled with a greasy scent of trees.

　　 Zhao Mai left Chimera's leather outside the hole, crawled into the hole to clean up for a while, and put the tire aside as a temporary door. He surveyed the small room, stroking the inflexible fur bed with his hand. This is my first place to settle down, a small house full of wild atmosphere. If it is on the earth, it is absolutely impossible for oneself to find such a unique place, to get close to nature without scruples.

　　 How can a forest built of reinforced concrete compare to the original nature, genes imprinted in the process of millions of years of evolution prefer the taste of real trees and soil. Zhao Mai found that he was very adaptable to the current environment. Although nervous and worried thoughts would climb up from time to time, it was more of the excitement and tranquility of returning to nature.

　　 Excitement and tranquility seem to be opposites, but here they can be organically combined. This feeling is very similar to a wandering home, when he stepped into the door to see his parents after a long absence. Zhao Mai came to this tree hole for the first time. It was supposed to be a strange place, but deep in his heart, he felt a sense of security that he was absolutely sheltered. He tried to lie on the soft cushion, only to feel that the pores all over his body were comfortable, and his body immediately reached absolute relaxation. Carrying heavy objects and running through the forest along the way, the accumulated fatigue came to my heart at this time. It was a good time to take a nap, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

　　 Two heads poked out. It turned out that the old ranger and the Orc apprentice heard the snoring and came to check. They saw Zhao Mai sleep soundly, and also saw the yellow-brown hair ball lying on Zhao Mai's shoulder, sleeping peacefully with his red tongue. Saru wanted to go in and drag the puppy out, but was stopped by the old ranger. He winked and called the orc under the tree.

"Let him take a break today. From tomorrow on, you two will train together. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com In the morning I will teach you language and natural knowledge. He has to learn Common Language, and you have to learn to write. I will teach you fighting skills." Carl patted Sauru on the shoulder, squeezing the strong muscles of the orcs with dry fingers. "You have learned the basics, so you have to teach Mike more. If you can let him learn basic martial arts, I agree to take you out to take an adventure."

　　 The orc nodded vigorously, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Staying near the big tree has worn out his patience, and it has been his long-term dream to go out with the ranger.

"I only give you seven days. If he can't get through the basics by that time, even if you fail. After seven days, I will go out for inspections and I won't take you there." Karl Yu said earnestly: "You have excellent physical fitness. But my brain is not bright enough, I am very worried. This time is to test whether you can solve the problems you have never encountered. So, think more and find ways to teach Mike, and I can rest assured."

　　 "Yes, teacher, I'm going to figure out a solution now." The half-orc smiled sullenly, and climbed into the highest tree hole in threes or twos. Immediately afterward, the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets came out, and I didn't know what the orcs were busy.

　　 Carl sighed and walked into his tree hole. The python followed him closely and got in too. After a while, the python thief looked out, lowered his body, pressed against the root of the tree, and quietly got into the dense forest. A greased paper bag was tied behind its neck, and inside it was the letter that Karl had just written.

　　 The old dog lay on his feet and looked at the old master listlessly. It sees the sorrow between the owner's eyebrows, but has no strength to dissipate it.
