31. Chapter 31 Warm

Roddy seemed to think about Sally's question seriously, shrugged and replied in a low voice: "I think... the disappearance of the captain of the scout in Nolan Village and the return of the duke's daughter should have nothing to do with the return of the duke's daughter."

This is an answer that disappointed Sally but was also very realistic. The originally expected eyes dimmed in an instant - she actually didn't know what she was expecting, but her mood was surrounded by coldness at this moment, and her distracted emotions gradually surged up, even she herself was a little confused.

When she raised her head, she found that Roddy had already stepped forward and began to move forward. She took a breath, bit her lip and followed.

"Three waves of fixed monsters, a patrol team, and then the first boss."

Silently muttering about the strategy process of the "Stalo Creek" dungeon, Roddy led Sally into the range of this dungeon - as expected, Roddy saw the prompt floating in front of her:

"Are you entering the dungeon's Creek of Stello?"

yes.

Roddy looked at the familiar fonts and prompts in front of her, and her feeling was a little strange - but then she quickly adapted. Sally, who didn't understand why he stopped, raised her eyebrows and was confused. She was curious about the strange words when Roddy talked to herself. Although her mood was a little depressed by the few questions and answers just now, it was not reflected on her face.

Roddy ignored her. After entering the dungeon, he immediately entered the "professional high-end player" state...

Everything in front of him was so familiar, and he didn't even need moonlight to illuminate. He could remember these familiar scenery and the walking positions of the monsters with his eyes closed, so Rodie began to make great strides without saying a word, counting in his heart until he suddenly stopped at the twenty-third step.

The Jingyu Forest is mysterious and dangerous in Sally's eyes, but in Roddy's mind it is just a map marked with countless detailed annotations. There are four copies in this forest, among which "Stalo Creek" is the first plot copy faced by novice human players. The minimum required level is level 3 and the highest level 10. The remaining three dungeons are one higher than the other. The highest one is located in the middle of the forest. It is a high-level dungeon about "The Temple of Asaka", which requires a level of at least 30 - this means that all participants must have changed their positions and have considerable combat experience.

"Climb up and wait for me here."

Roddy pointed to the "bug" tree in front of him that players discovered through countless death exploration experiences and said to Sally.

This was the position that was arranged for those idle professions who had no attack power or healing ability in the early stage. They would not participate in battles or be dragged into battles. They were the best choice for those who had experienced running tasks. After confirming that Sally sat firmly on the tree, Roddy began to use the vines to start making simple traps. After everything was done, he disappeared from Sally with a horn bow.

What happened in the next few hours is definitely unforgettable for Sally.

Giant spider on rock wall, poisonous iguana, flower-tailed cheetah, and giant ape on steel back.

These guys who appeared in books and were listed as dangerous creatures in the past, lying on the ground one by one under Roddy's incredible means - Roddy seemed to be rushing through the forest in one breath from beginning to end, killing all the roadblocks along the way like wind storming the broken clouds.

A man, two knives, a bow, and a trap made by all the resources at hand. When Roddy killed all kinds of monsters and beasts, his posture was as skillful as walking in his back garden.

When he asked Sally to jump from the seventh tree that she had arranged to hide for, the Duke's daughter's expression was already a little stiff due to the constant stimulation.

Constantly amaze, amaze, and marvel, and finally become numb... In these few hours, Sally found that her concept of "beasts" and "forest" had been completely reversed by Roddy.

It felt very strange. It was obviously a fierce beast, but it became a straw in the field in front of Roddy. Sometimes it was even harvested by him in a confused and helpless state...

Until dawn, the two had already traveled nearly ten kilometers in the dark forest, and for the entire copy, this had reached more than 80%.

"The road before would be more dangerous during the day, so you didn't have a rest all night. That... it's safe now, have a good sleep and keep on rushing tonight."

Roddy, who had a lot of harvest, was exhausted, but because he was in a hurry, he did not get much spoil along the way - a whole piece of soft leopard skin, some meat that could be used for cooking, and most of the others were discarded. He simply packed up the things, washed his face casually in the stream, and pointed to the "floor shop" of the leopard skin to signal Sally to go to bed.

Sally wanted to say something, but when she saw the guy with red eyes talking, she fell directly into the hay pile that she had gathered out of her hand and fell asleep almost instantly.

In the early morning, the atmosphere in the forest seemed extremely quiet. The sound of the stream flowing echoed in my ears. There were many bird calls coming from all around me. The sunlight shone through the gaps of the leaves, and the warm feeling gradually flowed into Sally's heart.

She looked at the man who was already asleep not far away, but found that she had no embarrassment about the relationship with the other party.

After all, the words in the book are very different from reality. Even though I read many classics carefully, Sally understands that the blood sprinkled in danger, the roar of wild beasts, the bitter light of the scimitar when they pass by... These are not simply described in words. When all the real scene comes, everything in front of her turns into the most shocking experience in her life.

After the crisis, when the man who was fighting in the vortex lay down exhausted, Sally's heart was filled with various inexplicable complex emotions. Especially when she saw the weeds under the other person and the leopard skin under her, she seemed to feel... the corners of her eyes were a little sour.

After all, in this world, the status of "women" is always low compared to men. Even among the higher aristocratic class, they are also vulnerable groups who do not have priority inheritance rights. The respect for women seems to only exist in the book "Knight System" that few people are willing to read.

Roddy's inadvertent "respect" to Sally is actually just the basic qualities of a normal modern man. He seemed to be naturally slow to women, and he used to squeezing skirts and touching other people's feet. He said it was a bit stupid, but at this point, after the contrast was extremely overlapping, Sally felt that he was simply a complex combination of contradictions.

"What a strange guy..."

Sally looked at Roddy who had fallen asleep in a daze and murmured to herself.

..

Perhaps it was because Roddy was too tired, or perhaps it was because Sally quietly covered the leopard skin on him. When he opened his eyes, time was approaching dusk. The sky was dark blue, and the clouds slowly drifted by in the field of view. Occasionally, bats were shaking around, and the sound of ripples sounded, as if indicating the arrival of a dangerous night again.

The forest in mid-April was still a little cool. The breeze blew among the trees, and the sounds of insects and birds were mixed together. Suddenly, Roddy thought he was standing in the dungeon of the game again, and his eyes were swept to the position where it was originally the status bar, waiting in his ears for his teammates to report his status, and he also wanted to call out the taskbar to see if he had any other goals he had not achieved today...

The sound of stones colliding interrupted his slightly chaotic memory.

When she turned her head, what caught her eye was the Sally in a dirty cloth skirt. She was holding flint clumsy in her hand. She seemed to want to make a fire, but obviously she didn't find the turquoise, but she just beat and rubbed the two stones in vain.

Looking at the girl with blurred figures in the dim light, Roddy seemed to suddenly see the figure wearing a red dress and always smiling at him.

Now she is... sitting by the window in that remote village, complaining about the profound classics in front of her?

When his body moved, he touched the leopard skin on his body when he reached out. Roddy raised his eyebrows and felt a little warmth flowing through his heart. He stood up and stretched out his hand, took the flint from Sally, who was blushing, and when he looked for the hot velvet, he felt that the distance between the two was invisibly closer.

Putting the turf, he smashed the gravel and said, "When I used it for the first time, I accidentally swelled my fingers. My friend laughed at it for almost a whole week. Later, every time I used the shirt, I felt fear. It took me half a year to get rid of those shadows."

"I didn't expect you to have this kind of time."

Mars burst out, and the bonfire gradually ignited. Sally sat aside with her knees in her arms. The ground was dirty, her clothes were dirty, and the wilderness was cold without the cover of the house. However, looking at the bonfire that was gradually igniting, she felt that she was not cold when chatting with the guy in front of her like this.

Occasionally, she reached out and turned the firewood, and her breath was filled with the fragrance of bacon after barbecue. After sitting like this for a long time, she realized that the originally dark environment around her seemed not as terrifying as it was at the beginning.

Sally took the meat handed over by Roddy, lowered her eyes and said softly: "Speaking of it...is different from you. When I messed up, no one dared to laugh at me. My father would not tell me what to do right. He was like a bystander. And my brother would only pretend to help me enthusiastically so that I could go further astray."

Roddy shrugged without comment, looking like nothing, but in fact he was thinking about what kind of character this character who did not appear in the game was.

"Actually, it's okay to not talk about these messy things, Captain Roddy, I especially want to know... What is your real identity? Was he a noble or a knight? Or a famous adventurer?"

For a brief silence, Roddy just flipped the bonfire, shook her head, and did not answer.

"Ha...I won't guess anymore. Actually, I'm just envious, those free and easy people..."
