The Chimera Beast hesitated for three seconds before it finally made up its mind. It dashed towards the mining cart with sparks flying out of its mouth. At that moment, the mining cart had finally passed the gentle slope and entered the acceleration stage. Rody, who was stealthily moving, jumped onto the mining cart without looking back. He then pushed Sally into the cart.
Sally's body stiffened as she fell to the ground. She did not understand why Rody was doing this, but before she could ask any questions, a deafening roar accompanied by an orange light instantly filled her entire field of vision.
The Chimera Beast's mouth suddenly spewed out scorching flames, but because the mining cart was so fast, the flames could not catch up with the cart. But the aftermath of the impact still blew over the mining cart, making Roddy's hair and back feel an indescribable heat.
Sally instinctively closed her eyes, but she also understood why Roddy threw her down. If she had just sat there like a fool, perhaps her whole face would have been burned by now.
The Chimera Beast could no longer catch up with the mining cart, so it could only watch the cart disappear from its sight. In the end, it roared angrily and helplessly, turned around and returned to its cave.
In the mining cart, Roddy gasped and climbed up from Sally.
"Damn it! This is too scary … I will come back sooner or later to kill you … "
He cursed because he was really scared. When he came back to his senses, he found that Sally was blushing under him. He immediately tried to get up, but his hand, which he stretched out to support himself, was pressed on Sally's chest because of the "perfect" bump of the mining cart.
Even though Roddy asked her to tighten the cloth as much as possible, it could not hide the fact that she was well-developed. Roddy felt as if he was holding a ball of something that would slip away at any time. Dough?
"What the …"
When he came to his senses, Roddy suddenly remembered what he had touched. He suddenly raised his hand, but his movement was so big that he almost fell out of the cart.
In front of him, Sally, who had just sat up, silently clasped her hands over her chest and lowered her head in silence.
The atmosphere suddenly seemed to freeze.
"I. Just now. I … That … "
"B … bastard!"
Roddy felt that he was really unlucky. He had just escaped from the bottom of the monster, and now Sally probably wanted to kill him.
He looked at the girl curled up in the dark and swallowed hard. She did not seem to want to pursue the matter, so he felt a little relieved.
I'm such an unlucky child … I'll just take it one step at a time.
The mining cart continued to move forward. Rody no longer thought about those messy things. He raised his head vigilantly and stared at the front with his hand on the brake lever. But luck was good. After half an hour, the mining cart finally came to the end of the tunnel — the southern end of the Endel Mountains.
The air in the tunnel was so cold that Sally, who walked out of the cave, felt a lot warmer outside. She jumped out of the mining cart and seemed to have not recovered from the "chest attack" incident. Her feelings were very subtle. Was she angry? Sally, who had always been clear-headed, certainly knew that Roddy did not do it on purpose, so she was angry, but not too much hatred. But what scared her the most was …
When Roddy touched her chest just now, Sally surprisingly found that she did not seem to have much disgust in her heart.
This feeling made Sally a little flustered. For a moment, she did not even know how to continue to communicate with Roddy. In fact, when Roddy was concentrating on the front, Sally's eyes did not leave him.
Why can't I control my eyes?
The more Sally thought about it, the more she felt that she seemed to have fallen into a strange circle. She simply stopped talking and followed Roddy.
Roddy, who was walking in front, did not notice the change in Sally. He was looking at the valuable harvest in his backpack and secretly planning how to strengthen his attributes.
In the entire backpack, there were more than 20 scales with "Purple" attributes, and 179 scales with "Blue" attributes!
According to Roddy's estimation, these scales could be made into two sets of full-body leather armor, and the attributes would definitely be the best at the current level.
Thinking back to when he was level 4, he was simply wearing rags. Not to mention blue equipment, even if there was a green equipment, he would be happy. But now? If he relied on his own craftsmanship, the equipment made from these things would definitely be a mix of blue and purple. Even if the equipment was marked as level 4, the overall attributes plus the added value would definitely be better than level 8 green equipment.
The first guild that went to hunt the Chimera probably made a lot of money because of these scales. Thinking back carefully, Roddy did remember seeing a situation where a large number of Chimera scales appeared in the auction house. It seemed that Roddy had picked up this bargain. It had to be said that every time he was unlucky, his luck was not bad.
Turning his gaze to another item, Roddy looked at the ring he found on the skeleton and slightly raised his eyebrows.
Dusty Ring
Quest Item Unique
Strength + 2
Vitality + 1
Level Requirement: 5
"The gem above the base seems to be missing."
It turned out to be a quest item. Roddy was a little surprised, but then he felt relieved. There were many quests that started with an item picked up. He himself had done no less than a hundred similar quests, but these things were like buying a lottery. If you were lucky and got an epic quest chain, you would definitely make a lot of money, but if you were unlucky.
Roddy had seen unlucky people who spent nearly ten thousand gold coins on a quest chain, only to end up with a useless pet.
The current ring could only be equipped and triggered when he reached level 5, so Roddy put it on his finger to prevent it from being lost. Unexpectedly, the ring was extremely thin and could only be worn on his little finger. Before reaching level 5, equipment would not receive any attribute bonuses, so at this time, Roddy still maintained the "naked" attribute of level 4.
After exiting the tunnel, the two of them were halfway up the mine. There were trees all around them, and it looked like birds were singing and flowers were fragrant. Because it was early in the morning, the temperature at first was still acceptable, but after a while, it felt a little cold. But when the sun shone on the land, the coldness disappeared.
Walking with tired steps, Sally felt that the distance she had walked in these few days was more than the distance she had walked in her entire life. Even now, her mind still felt a little unreal. When the two of them finally arrived at a hill with a wide view, Sally raised her head and looked into the distance and was stunned.
In her field of vision, the huge outline of Hollier City appeared.
"We … really did it?"
Although Roddy had already told her about the result, when she really saw the scene before her, the shock in her heart was still indescribable.
But what followed was a sudden panic.
Sally's originally rational thinking seemed to have become extremely emotional in the past few days. She followed behind Roddy, raised her head and looked at his back that persisted after traveling day and night, and inexplicably felt a sense of loss in her heart.
In just a few days, this stranger in front of her seemed to have formed an indescribable tacit understanding with her and a kind of … strange 'friendship'. Only after experiencing the dangerous situation herself, Sally could truly understand how much risk he had taken to save her. But after doing so much, he didn't make any extra requests.
Could it really be like what he said? Everything he did, was just so that "this country would not be destroyed by a bunch of bastards in the future"?
Regardless of whether what Roddy said was true or not, Sally felt a heavy burden at that moment. Unlike the other nobles that she had come into contact with, Roddy didn't seem to like to 'save the country' and such, but everything he did was obviously for this goal.
That inexplicable firmness and steadiness would sometimes become the 'charm' in the eyes of others.
"Roddy, after returning to Hollier … where will you go?"
In the end, she still asked this question softly.
Roddy, who was carrying a backpack, seemed to have already known the answer. He shook his head and said, "After confirming that you have safely entered the city, I still have some things to do and will stay here for a few days. But before I leave, I should probably see you again."
"Really?"
Sally raised her eyebrows. There was some inexplicable emotions in her heart because of Roddy's departure. However, the other party's words made the knot in her heart dissipate for no reason.
"Pay attention to your own safety. Even if 'Rose Cross' can give you protection, you still have to be careful of Francis's determination to fight to the death. When people really abandon their bottom line, they are often more terrifying than you think. "
Roddy tightened his backpack, turned his head and suddenly asked, "Are we considered friends now?"
Sally was already used to him asking such inexplicable questions. She nodded without hesitation and said, "Why not?"
Then she saw Roddy's gaze lift a little, as if he was looking at the top of her head in a daze. It was as if he saw something new above her head. Sally raised her head and found that she could only see the green branches and the blue sky.
She did not know that Roddy was currently checking her character status. The previous inquiry was similar to the form of 'add a private friend'. In the game, only private friends could carefully check each other's character status: level, equipment, attributes, and title. If it was just a normal friend, only the level and title could be seen. If it was a stranger, when the distance was close, the approximate level range could be shown.
At this time, Roddy saw that Sally's level was 7. This was not a low level, probably due to her noble background. Although her level was higher than Roddy's, because she was a female NPC in the game, her attributes of 'Strength' and 'Constitution' were not comparable to his. However, her 'Intelligence' and 'Spirit' were particularly outstanding. Roddy slightly frowned. Could it be that the children of the Lucifron family were all suitable for the extremely rare magic class?
After all, players could choose their own path in the future. However, in terms of the quality of the population in the Kingdom of Karen, even among the nobles, the number of people who could eventually become a magic class was extremely low.
Duke Lucifron only had these two children, and both of them had the talent to become a magic class. This in itself was extremely rare. Francis was already an Elementalist, while Sally's talent seemed to be … Was she a priest under the 'Rose Cross' faction?
However, none of these things could explain how she could resist the poison of the poisonous scorpion, because it was impossible for a priest to use a skill like 'Detoxify'. Roddy was puzzled. He turned his eyes to Sally's face and saw her looking at him in confusion. He immediately touched his pocket and took out all the voodoo dice he found in the orc camp and gave them to her.
"I suddenly thought of something that might be useful to you."
Since it was an item that increased Intelligence and Spirit, Roddy just made the best use of it. He was still a player, but he did not know that Sally was even more confused at this time.
After all, who would want these things that only the orc witch doctors would use? Although Sally stretched out her hand to take it, she did not know why Rody said that. She did not know why Rody said that.
"This is a spoil of war I obtained from the orcs. It belonged to an orc shaman. How should I put it … The owner of this may be the biggest threat to the kingdom in the future. Ha … If one day, you feel that you can't fight anymore, I hope this will remind you of what I said today. "
Roddy originally wanted to make up an excuse to let her keep it, but when he said it, it became a solemn "entrustment". Sally was a little stunned for a moment. When she saw Roddy turn around and continue walking, she realized that the thing in her hand might not be as simple as it looked.
