Can you become stronger without paying money?

Remarks: According to the current rhythm, sooner or later I will see the red-eyed girl (seriously)

"What's the situation? Why do you feel that the whole painting style of this thing is wrong, from the description of the props and the remarks, it's just like making people complain!"

The corners of Riel's eyes twitched for a long time, and finally put the card away. Now, there is only one last thing left.

"I always feel that these props are full of flaws everywhere. Hey, this is the last one, and it still looks like I don't know what it is for. This is..."

Chapter 15 If you complain, I lose!

The first [-]th company full of love and hope ended like this. In terms of the result, except for the diffusive Mega Excalibur, which is a weapon that can be understood at a glance, the other things are all in a state of very ambiguous specific effects. Whether it is a good thing against the sky or a useless garbage, it seems that you need to use it before you can know.

And the last thing in the eleventh company, a piece of parchment with a wax seal, after reading the item description, Riel sighed and stuffed this thing into the character's luggage.

He can be sure that this is a good thing, but at least for a long time, he won't use this thing...

"What's the matter with this feeling of emptiness? What's wrong with drawing out the sage mode for me after drawing an eleventh company? Cough cough, forget it, I'd better take a look at the scenery..."

Riel, dumbfounded, took out two more breads from the food basket and stuffed them into his mouth, then walked to the window. Although the height of the fifth floor of the top floor of the bellflower is still far below the level of "seeing all the mountains and small mountains", it is At least you can take a closer look at the approximate street view nearby.

Of course, Riel himself is not very interested in appreciating the street view, after all... the whole city was designed by him in theory, and now it is nothing more than changing from 2D to 3D. It's boring, but there is something worth seeing in the city.

That is, a black stone tower located in the center of the city center, in terms of shape, it is incompatible with the surrounding environment.

The stone pagoda is [-] stories high, and the whole body is made of black stones, and the tight fit between the stones makes the whole stone pagoda look like a whole. In this world, there is obviously a more convenient power that can be used to create such magical buildings.

This kind of power is naturally the so-called "magic"...

Of course Riel knows what this is. In a sense, this is the most important facility in the entire city. The stone tower is called "Fire Barrier Tower". As the name suggests, it is used to open some kind of powerful barrier props.

Since ancient times, human beings in this world have suffered from monsters. When human civilization in ancient times was not as strong as it is today, when human beings faced monsters whose overall quality completely surpassed human beings, their performance was very miserable. That Humans in this era can't even build a village. As long as there are humans who dare to gather and settle down, within three days they will definitely be surrounded by an army of monsters.

Then, the savior of mankind...an ancient elf appeared.

The ancient elves sympathized with the sufferings of human beings, and bestowed a miraculous thing called "fire" on human beings, and at the same time bestowed them with miraculous powers called "elf magic".

With the help of the power of fire, human beings built enchantment towers, relying on the huge enchantment opened by the enchantment towers to block the footsteps of monsters, centering on the enchantment towers, human towns were built one after another.

Then, through the practice of elves, the strength of human beings has also been comprehensively improved. When facing monsters, human beings are no longer powerless prey, and the confrontation between humans and monsters has turned for the first time.

But at that time, the outcome between humans and monsters was mostly a [-]-[-] match, because although the elf technique was powerful, it had very high requirements for talents. After all, it was the ancient elves who were born with great sage-level magic reserves The power used by the hook force may be ordinary power for them, but it is a power that is very difficult for humans to get started.

However, when the human race got a short-term fix, no longer needing to run around for the minimum survival, and had more strength to think about some problems other than survival, the talent of this great ethnic group was immediately completely destroyed. released.

Finally, on a certain day, when an elderly scholar who worked at his desk day and night stopped the quill in his hand, after a tiring day, he suddenly had a whim, and when he cast a curious gaze at the vast galaxy shining above his head, it began, A legend begins here!

His name is Macka Intmelu, until he was 60 years old, he was just an ordinary librarian, but now, he is a world-renowned legend among all mankind...

He read some kind of revelation from the trajectories of the stars, and concluded that "the regular movement of the stars is derived from some otherworldly power", he explored the essence of this power, and finally... he got The answer called "Magic"!

And when he qualitatively and systematically planned this power, amazing changes took place in the whole world. A systematic power was written into the process of the world and became the truth of the whole world. From that moment on, this world The only mysterious power in the world is magic!

What does it mean?That is to say, the monsters who did not use magic at first, their power became "magic" at the moment when the definition of magic was set. Organize the catalog and organize it qualitatively, and now he... has qualitatively sorted out the power system of the entire world, he...

...the law of the world has been revised!

The only ones that are not affected by this modification power are the ancient elves. The ancient elves' elf skills are higher than magic, so they are not affected too much. However, even so, the ancient elves recognized the greatness of Macka and bestowed He gave him a glorious title-"Ancient One", which is a title given to only a few people among the ancient elves, and Macka is the only human being who has received the title of "Ancient One" so far .

From that moment on, human beings have gained a power that is easier to understand and master than elf art, and it is also easier to exert its full power.

And more importantly, in the past, humans knew nothing about the power of monsters, so they would always suffer losses when fighting monsters, but now the power of monsters has also been classified as magic, and it has become a power that humans can master and understand. Humans can systematically analyze the strength of monsters and formulate tactics to crack them, thus completely narrowing the gap between the two sides.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles...

This time... is a complete victory for mankind!

Humans have finally established a huge country, and monsters have been driven to remote corners of the world. Although it is dangerous to encounter monsters in the wild, at most it is equivalent to the ferocious wild animals on the earth, which can threaten to the safety of a single human being or even a plurality of human beings... But it is absolutely impossible to cause a devastating impact on the entire human civilization.

From ancient times to the present, the Tinder Barrier Tower has been the core of the entire human civilization. Just like its name, it is the tinder that illuminates the darkest age of human civilization. Until today, the Tinder Barrier Tower is also working hard to serve the human race. The city opened a huge barrier to ensure that no monsters would invade the human city.

Such an important facility is of course heavily guarded. Even in a third-tier border city like Karot, there are more than [-] heavily armed city guards patrolling day and night in shifts. This is the official armed force of [-]% of the entire Karot city. Strength, even a place like the old city is only guarded by a dozen guards.

Of course, although there are not many people, the city guards are all fully armed and have learned basic magic. If there is a conflict, it is absolutely not a problem for one to fight ten, and this is only a daily guard after all. Manpower reinforcements can be transferred from other places.

Riel looked back and forth around the Fire Barrier Tower twice, and took a rough look at the distribution of the city guards. Naturally, the deployment of the city guards is not so easy to see at a glance, but in fact Riel doesn't need to look Clearly, he only needs to make sure that what he sees is the same as the set part in his memory. As long as this small part is the same, then there is no need to read the rest. Does it make sense... Everyone understands.

After confirming and getting an affirmative answer, Riel, who counted the time, stretched out, opened the locked door and went out, just bumped into a waiter leading a new guest into the room next to Riel. Room.

Naturally, the guest met Riel's eyes without any surprise, and then she was completely dumbfounded.

"Yeah, I just said, we will meet soon~"

Riel was not surprised at all, and said this to the red-haired girl dressed as a swordsman, while the girl kept twitching her mouth, and finally said helplessly to the waiter beside her, "I don't need your help anymore. , you go down first..."

After finishing speaking, he took a silver coin from his pocket as a tip, then stopped and looked Riel up and down, "I said you are following me... Riel?"

The red-haired swordsman girl... Sapphire said that, Riel immediately answered with a smile.

"How is it possible? You see, I lived here first. There is no reason why the stalker is one step ahead of the being followed. I didn't know that you would live here and ambush first. If you say follower It's more reasonable for you to follow me~"

"Uh……"

Indeed, Safili couldn't refute this point, because she did not make up her mind to stay here today until she reached the gate of the bluebell, so even if she was a few minutes ago, she couldn't be sure that she would be there tonight. Where to stay overnight, then other people naturally need not mention the first to book a room and wait for the rabbit.

Although this is unbelievable, it can only be explained by coincidence, or, Sapphire can believe in another theory... that is Riel's damn "prophecy"...

Obviously, until now, Sapphire didn't believe it...

"Hehe, since we met by such a coincidence, why don't we have lunch together? I ordered some snacks just now, but I'm not full at all~"

I don’t know if it’s because the body is getting younger, so the food intake has also increased, but a 20-year-old adult male’s appetite can indeed be said to be the strongest. At that time, Riel had six meals a day (breakfast, lunch , lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper)...

Safili thought about it for a while, but she didn't feel that there was anything too wrong, so she opened the door to make sure there was no problem in the room, and then closed the door behind her.

"Okay, although I don't know what you want to do, but I can feel that there is no malice, let's go, just in time... I am indeed a little hungry..."

Chapter No.16 Night of the Living Dead ([-])

So, the two went to the restaurant on the second floor together, randomly found a seat by the window and sat down, Riel picked up the menu on the table and handed it to Sapphire grandly.

"Come on, order casually, this meal is my treat~"

"Well, it's surprisingly convincing to say these words from a man who couldn't get a copper out of his body a few hours ago~"

Probably because she and Riel are already acquainted, so Safieli can also make some jokes at will, of course Riel doesn't mind at all, so Safieli greeted the passing waiter, she didn't take the menu, she casually After ordering two sets of the same set meal, the waiter quickly left with a promise, but Riel smiled and took a sip of the free water on the table.

"You are quite familiar with this place."

"En..." Sapphire picked up the water glass in the same way, "I investigated here for half a month before going to Danquan Forest, and I set off after collecting enough information."

Generally speaking, this is the normal situation. After all, there is only Karot, a human city near Danquan Forest. If you really want to enter Danquan Forest, collecting information in Karot City is the fastest way. The map Fili got after entering the forest obviously also had this origin.

Soon, the set meal ordered by the two was delivered. It was two sets of pasta with four kinds of sauces and six kinds of side dishes. Riel picked up two spoonfuls of each of the two sauces, and added the side dishes After mixing the noodles well, Sapphire, who was adding the sauce dish to the noodles, was taken aback when she saw his actions, but she didn't think that Riel seemed to be very good at handling the food here.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Riel, who was chewing noodles, looked at Safieli's stop and asked curiously, but Safieli quickly lowered her head, "No, nothing happened. ..."

Soon, it became an embarrassing situation where the two of them were eating noodles quietly. Just when the atmosphere was a bit cold, some noisy voices suddenly came from outside.

It happened to be sitting by the window, so it was only natural that both Sapphire and Riel looked out the window at the same time, the difference is... Safieli was curious about "what is going on", while Riel "already knew what was going to happen" What".

What was going on outside was a chase. Two men dressed as passers-by fled side by side in a hurry. Behind them were four heavily armed city guards in quick pursuit.

Because it was on the street, there were pedestrians on the left and right, so it was inconvenient to use magic, otherwise the two running men would have been knocked down by the city guards with a fireball.

However, there is obviously no possibility of the two of them escaping.

Just when the two of them ran downstairs to the bluebell grass, where they had the best line of sight with Riel and Sapphire, a strong wind suddenly broke out on the flat ground!

The two fleeing men obviously didn't expect this, and they bumped into each other immediately, and were immediately blown away by the strong wind with a very exaggerated posture, just in time to be caught by the city guards chasing behind. .

Not surprisingly, everyone's eyes were directed towards the position where the strong wind hit...

There, a man in military uniform silently put down the long sword with sheath in his hand. He was the one who slashed with the sword and sheath just now, stopping the two running men.

When they saw the man's face clearly, the city guards who took down the two men immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Master Commander..."

After the man nodded to the city guards in response, he immediately showed an apologetic smile to the passers-by who hadn't recovered.

"Sorry, the city guards chased the two thieves and caused you some trouble, please don't mind..."

The humble attitude, the sharp swordsmanship, and the very handsome face formed a perfect idol effect. Immediately, there were all kinds of praises from all around, and this one on the second floor Riel, who watched from beginning to end, calmly stuffed a mouthful of noodles into his mouth.

"Well, he looks like a very powerful little brother. Since the city guards call him 'Master Commander', then he is that Peruvian Becasas... the commander of the city guards of Karot City, right? "

"Well, it's true..." Sapphire also chewed the noodles calmly, "There is the family emblem of the one-horned Pegasus on the military uniform, and the fierce sword that cuts the wind, only Bei Bei can meet these two conditions." A member of the Casas family, as for the city of Karot, only the current city guard commander is eligible..."

"The city lord, the commander of the city guards, the city guard mage... the three most important positions in a city are also the necessary elements for a city to function. Such a big man with such status is unexpectedly close to the people~"

Riel said this in a somewhat smiling tone, but in the end Safiley rolled her eyes, "You are really good at telling jokes in a serious manner. Since you are a wandering adventurer, for this kind of performance 'Is this the first time I've seen it?"

That's right, acting...

... Although theoretically the two escaped thieves should indeed be real thieves, and this scene of chasing the criminals is definitely the real thing, but the following part is definitely a planned performance.

As a manager of a city's armed forces and also a defender of city law and order, he must show his strength from time to time. This can give ordinary people a sense of peace of mind and let them know that "there is a very powerful The masters are protecting our personal safety and the safety of our property."

Secondly, it can also act as a deterrent to those villains who are malicious or conscious but have not acted, so that they can weigh in when they commit crimes, and understand what kind of people they will face after they commit a crime.

Through this kind of performance from time to time, it is indeed beneficial to stabilize the law and order in the city to a certain extent.

But to put it bluntly, this was still a show, so Sapphire's tone sounded a bit indifferent.

"Haha, I can't say that, at least I think this little brother is actually a good person. After all, the last sentence is dispensable in the performance. I don’t even bother to do it, it’s much more pleasing to be a nobleman who only looks like a superior person, right, I don’t know which big family’s Miss Sapphire~”

"..."

The corners of Safieli's mouth couldn't help twitching. Indeed, Safieli believed that Riel should have guessed her extraordinary identity, but she probably didn't know the details, otherwise she wouldn't have joked about "Miss" one by one. up...

While speaking, Riel glanced out of the window, and the young-looking commander-in-chief on the street was talking to a city guard. Then, he turned his gaze as if he suddenly felt something, and happened to meet with Riel's eyes collided.

Suddenly, the man showed a look of surprise on his face, and immediately, he set off towards the direction of the bluebells.

Regarding this, Riel, who was sitting on the second floor, smiled calmly, "Very well, the plot has begun~

Now set the time forward a few minutes. After Peruwei knocked down the two thieves with a sword, he was about to leave when he heard a news reported by his subordinates.

"My lord, there was an armed crowd gathering in the old city just before. It was Grizzly and Scar's man, but when the fight was about to start, Scar's man was killed by two adventurers who came to find Grizzly for business. Beat off."

In fact, this is nothing new in the old city. After all, that place is no worse than the main city. The two thieves were dispatched by city guards to catch them. There were thieves and thieves everywhere, and no city guards on patrol had ever lifted their fingers. .

After all, it is an old city, and the people who hang out there have more or less criminal records. They don’t bother with others, as long as they don’t rebel, don’t go to the main city to make trouble, or don’t kill people, they can do whatever they want.

However, after hearing the report, Peruvian showed a solemn expression, "Oh, so... Among the people holding weapons, is there anyone with a bladed guy?"

Peruway naturally knew where the point was, and the city guard who reported the report immediately bowed his head and responded, "The grizzly bears know the rules, and they didn't bring any deadly guys, but the scarred man..."

"...Understood, that guy doesn't know the rules, and he belongs to the type who is not afraid of death until he dies. It is indeed a trouble, find a chance... Let's solve this trouble."

This time, Peruvian's tone of indifference is completely different from just now. He is very clear about his position. He is the commander of the city guard and also a member of the One-horned Pegasus family. His every move and every word and deed They all represent the face of the family, so he strives to do his best within his duties.

His job is to maintain law and order in the city, and all unstable factors need to be eliminated. Places like the old city are special, and he naturally doesn't want to take care of them. It doesn't matter how many people are injured there, but once people die, That nature is different.

Potter is an old fritter, so he naturally knows the rules and principles, which is why White Windmill has been able to stand firm, but obviously... the "newcomer" Jack, he doesn't know much about the rules here.

"By the way, you said that the man with the scar was beaten away by two adventurers... Do you know their details?"

The city guard immediately replied with a wry smile, "How do you know, you also know that the adventurers passing by here are too mobile, and adventurers are difficult to manage, and these days dare to travel around alone. Adventurers, more or less have real skills, can not provoke... No one wants to make both sides unhappy for no reason."

Peruwei nodded, and asked again, "So, what about the appearance and general details of the two people's clothing? There must be some information about this?"

"Yes, there are two adventurers, a man and a woman. The man has black hair, is of medium height, can't hear a distinct accent, and is dressed...in a strange way (Riel is still wearing the same outfit before time travel, but because the adventurers of this world and Many magicians like to dress up in strange clothes, so most people have a high tolerance for weird dresses), the person with the scar is mainly run off by men, and then, the red-haired woman is about the same size as the man, with an accent He seems to be from the Kingdom of Borea, dressed as a swordsman, and he hasn't done much fighting, so he doesn't know how good he is."

"...People from the Kingdom of Borea chose such a time to come to our Grand Duchy of Sofia? Even an adventurer with no clear political inclination is very concerned."

Still the same sentence, as the defender of the entire city's law and order, and also a member of a big family, the necessary political sense makes him have to "over-think" many times, because even if you think about it a thousand times, as long as you Once you thought about it... Maybe you can prevent a big crisis that can subvert a country!

While speaking, Peruway suddenly felt that someone was watching him. He is a member of the Becasas family of the one-horned Pegasus. He is naturally very sensitive to changes in "wind" and "breath". The place where the breath came from cast his gaze, but he was stunned when he saw it.

"...You told me just now, what do those two adventurers look like?"

"Uh, a man and a woman. The man has black hair, is of medium height, and is dressed strangely. The woman has red hair, is about the same height as the man, and is dressed like a swordsman."

"...Oh, it can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

Although the question was in his mouth, Peruwei has already taken steps without hesitation and walked towards the direction of the bluebells...

Chapter No.17 Night of the Living Dead ([-])

"Ah... coming here..."

Until Peruwei walked into the bellflower, Safiley didn't change her expression. It wasn't until the other party went all the way to the restaurant on the second floor and came directly to Riel's table, that Safili put down her hand in distress. He picked up the paper towels on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth.
