Artificer Adventure Guide

Under Hope's touch, Karl clearly felt the difference between that skin and other places.

But before that, he didn't notice anything strange.

‘No, it’s not like I didn’t notice anything strange. This position seems to be the same position where I have suffered pain several times before, but I didn't pay attention at the time. Looking at Hope's appearance, could it be that the injury here is serious? ’

In a place like this where food and clothing are scarce, if you get sick, you really have to rely on your immune system to heal.

It is said that surviving a catastrophe will lead to good fortune. After escaping from the mind flayer's base and obtaining a physical plug-in turned into a mind flayer larvae.

Although Carl can't see the possibility of returning to the surface yet, he still holds hope for the future.

And they have now survived the most difficult period. As long as they develop steadily, they can even live an alternative pastoral life in this underground city.

Having overcome so many difficulties, if Karl died here due to an unknown disease, he would really not be willing to do so.

So, he panicked a little.

"Can you see clearly what's going on with this thing? Maybe it's just what I bumped into something before."

Turning around, Carl tried his best to show his back to Hope.

"No, a collision can't leave this kind of injury. It looks more like a scar left by scabbing after repeated cuts, but you shouldn't have suffered such an injury recently."

Staring at the lines behind Carl, Hope gave his own judgment.

Naturally, this answer could not put Karl at ease, but instead made him think wildly.

Allergies, fungal infections, skin diseases, as long as Karl could think of the causes, he went through them in his mind.

The more he thought about it, the heavier Karl's mood became.

Just like those people in previous lives who relied on search engines to search for illnesses. It was just a minor cold at first, but the more they looked at it, the more they felt like they had something serious.

Just when Carl was worrying about gains and losses, Hope suddenly patted the scar heavily.

The clear voice echoed in the wooden house, and Hope's energetic voice followed closely:

"Stop thinking nonsense. Damn it, I shouldn't have mentioned this just now. Today's affairs have basically been dealt with. Do you want to sleep? If you are scared, I can hold you to sleep."

With that said, Hope hugged Karl directly from behind, and tilted his body so that the two of them fell to the floor together.

"You're just going to comfort me like this?"

To be honest, this method is still very effective.

At least Karl's attention was now focused on the pair of front armors that were close to him behind him.

Whatever injuries or illnesses, at this moment, Karl's mind was filled with all kinds of yellow waste from his past life.

"This is how the mercenaries of Gray Wall City find comfort, or...do you want to go further?"

When it came to "further", Hope's arms were already wrapped around Carl's neck and gradually tightened.

Karl had no doubt that if the sperm got into his head at this time, Hope would strangle him unconscious without hesitation.

"Please, you obviously took the initiative, why are you threatening me now? If you keep doing this, I will resist!"

As he spoke, Karl struggled symbolically.

Hope also relaxed his arms as soon as he felt better, but his body was still close to Karl.

"Don't worry, if something happens to you, you can do whatever you want to me before you die, just think that I am repaying you for saving your life. Of course, if you don't dislike me for being a tiefling, ”

Even without using psychic powers, Carl could feel the sincerity in Hope's tone.

‘Should I say that she is worthy of being a girl who grew up in Zhuomu? This is really blunt. ’

With such complaints in his heart, Karl coughed twice and made up for himself.

"Ahem! Although I am very touched by what you said, even if nothing happens to me, if we are stuck in this dungeon all the time, it will be a matter of time for the two of us to develop a physical relationship. In a situation like ours now The results...are surprisingly consistent."

At this moment, Karl naturally substituted himself and Hope into the identities of Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu.

"Hey! You don't really think so, do you? I'm a tiefling."

Hearing Karl's words, Hope pressed closer to him.

"emmm...then what?"

Looking back at the complex XP picture books he had browsed in his previous life, Karl didn't realize why Hope cared so much about this.

Regarding Karl's question, Hope did not answer directly, but began to talk about her past experiences.

"When I was a kid, I often didn't have enough to eat... I didn't have a job as a barbarian at that time. Once I was so hungry that I even thought about selling myself and becoming a slave."

"I couldn't care about self-esteem anymore. I just wanted to have something to eat."

Hearing this, Karl couldn't help but want to look back at Hope.

But his head was firmly fixed by Hope, and he couldn't turn around at all.

"I still remember the slave owner's words: 'No one likes tieflings, and no one will buy tieflings as slaves. The only way for a tiefling to survive in this world is to become stronger. '"

The crimson tail wrapped around Carl's wrist, and as Hope imitated the slave owner's words, the tail began to tighten.

"I thought I could make a living by selling my self-esteem, but I didn't expect that my self-esteem was worthless. I fled from the door of the slave market like a wild dog with a broken spine."

"I fled into the wilderness outside the city, as if to end my life, but I couldn't even commit suicide, and I was still alive."

"I was angry at my own incompetence and cowardice of wanting to wag my tail and beg for mercy, and then when I was dying, I felt the power of [Rage] and became a barbarian."

Speaking of this, Carl finally deeply realized the status of Tiefling in this world.

He only knew that Tiefling was discriminated against in other areas before, but he didn't have a clear understanding of the specific extent.

Hope's heavy breathing sounded in Carl's ears, and the position where the two were close together began to gradually heat up.

Carl had no doubt that if a wild beast suddenly appeared at this time, Hope would definitely use rage to chop the other party to death.

Gradually, the strength in Hope's arm relaxed a little.

The breathing of the two gradually slowed down, and they fell asleep with the sound of rain that seemed to never stop.

…

"Huh~, I have to find a way to make spare clothes quickly. If something like this happens again, I can't bear it anymore."

Dream world, second floor.

Lying on the ground in the dream world, Carl looked up at the sky, interpreting the literal meaning of the phrase "When a person dies, the bird flies up to the sky".

If he didn't have psychic power to control his thoughts now, this dream would have already begun to stage scenes that minors are prohibited from watching.

After calming down for a long time, Carl stood up from the ground and habitually summoned the attribute panel.

His eyes swept across the panel, and Carl was about to turn it off, but he always felt that there was something extra somewhere on the attribute panel.

He looked at it again from the top one by one, but just when he saw the race column, Carl found something different from before.

"[Race]: Human (Exploring Dragon Pattern)? Wait! Is that strange pattern on my back a dragon pattern?!"
