The first night in the Endless Sea of Trees passed without any mishap. The exploration party arrived at the supply camp without a hitch.
The supply camp was set up by the Mercenary Guild to provide a place for the Brave adventurers to rest and recuperate in the treacherous forest. Each adventurer had to pay a silver coin a day. Lolo and Rob's money was paid by Captain Hansen first, and it would be deducted from the spoils of war after the exploration.
After arriving at the supply camp, Hansen announced the disbandment of the exploration party. After a hard night of trekking, everyone was exhausted. After eating, everyone went to bed to replenish their energy. Rob was no exception. Although he did not carry the heavy duffel bag, as an otaku who spent most of his time in the Mage Tower, a night of rampage was enough to make the future Supreme Magus Your Honor suffer.
Luo Bu was so tired that he almost didn't eat breakfast. He had never thought that the simple and crude hammock in front of him could be so cute. After taking off all the scrap metal and lying on it, he shook his sore legs and stretched comfortably. He was really satisfied.
He turned to look at the half-dwarf beside him. The latter was already snoring the moment his head touched the pillow.
This was probably the S-rank life skill that every traveler dreamed of.
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor decided to learn from him. He quickly closed his eyes.
The gentle swaying of the hammock, the rustling of the leaves in the wind, everything promised that this was going to be an incomparably sweet sleep.
However, the half-asleep Archmage seemed to hear someone calling his name. Rob's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he accidentally peeked into the secret of the Endless Sea of Trees?
It had nothing to do with the research. The young man had read a few novels in the past. There were often male protagonists passing by a mysterious place and accidentally communicating with the local elves through their dreams. The future Supreme Magus Your Honor could not help but feel excited. Could it be that the consciousness of the Endless Sea of Trees is calling out to me?
Hahahaha, looks like I'm also a person with the protagonist's halo. That old man Steins is smart, he definitely wouldn't have thought that someone could find out the truth through such a legendary method.
At such a critical moment, opening one's eyes was, of course, the stupidest choice. The correct thing to do was to continue relaxing one's consciousness, do one's best to calm one's body and mind, open one's soul, and bravely accept the other.
Well, to put it more simply, it was to sleep more soundly.
Sure enough, as Rob fell asleep, the voice seemed to become clearer and clearer.
There's a way! Your Honor, the future Supreme Magister, was delighted. He felt that he had found the right direction.
Let me think. Hmm, I should try to communicate with the other party's soul next. The young man was ambitiously planning to continue his Contact of the Third Kind plan when he suddenly felt the world spinning.
The next moment, the Magician's forehead came into contact with the muddy ground.
"Looks like I'll have to use this method to wake you up in the future." Unbeknownst to Rob, Lolo was standing in front of someone's hammock. No wonder the voice sounded so familiar to Rob.
The young man was dizzy from the fall and could not help but be furious. But as the saying goes, when one is under someone else's eaves, one must lower one's head. When Rob saw that it was his big boss who made the move, he could only suppress the anger in his chest and asked, "How long have I slept? Are we leaving?"
"It's still early. You slept for about five minutes." Lolo played it down.
"You're f * cking sick!!!!" Although he repeatedly told himself to control himself, the Magician could not help but explode. "Five minutes! Why did you wake me up after five minutes! Aren't followers human? Don't you know not to disturb others when they're sleeping? This is basic etiquette!!! Please, I just want to have a good sleep!!! "
The girl could feel the young man's anger even from a few steps away, but she remained calm and nodded. "Yes, come out and talk. Don't disturb others' sleep."
"So you know that you will disturb others!!!"
Rob angrily followed the rookie The Brave to a small open space on the west side of the camp. It was a relatively remote area, and there were not many people coming and going.
Originally, the young man thought that if Lolo called him to wash the dishes or light the fire, he would turn around and leave, leaving the girl with a cool and handsome back view.
But after looking around, the future Supreme Magister Your Honor could not help but feel a little guilty. If he was beaten up in this godforsaken place, there would be no one to call for help.
He looked at Lolo who was opposite him. She was still expressionless, and no one could guess what she was thinking.
The girl tossed a long sword over. "I just borrowed this from someone."
Wait a minute! Cold sweat began to form on Rob's forehead. What the hell is going on? Is she going to duel with me?
No, that's not right. He's obviously thinking that I'm dragging him down, so he's planning to kill me in the name of a duel. Looking at the Iron Sword Mage, he felt that he had seen through someone's scheme. He hesitated whether or not he should just surrender.
Lolo said impatiently, "What are you waiting for? Do you want to sleep or not? Hurry up and pick it up. I'll teach you block and slash today. "
"Huh?" The young man thought that there was something wrong with his ears.
"You're really too weak. You don't even have the ability to protect yourself in the Underground City. So, I plan to teach you swordsmanship from today onwards," Lolo explained.
"Ugh, didn't you say that you would protect me?" The future Supreme Magister Your Honor said weakly.
"But what if something happens to me?" Lolo said. "No one in this world can always protect another."
The young man sharply caught the hint of disappointment in the girl's last sentence.
"Oh, is it because of the story I told you before?" The Magician asked cautiously.
"If you could be a little stronger, maybe there wouldn't be so many deaths," Lolo suddenly said.
"That's a classic misconception. Be it strong or weak, everyone has their own troubles. No matter how strong you are, there will be times when you're powerless. When you're a little The Brave, you'll think that if only I could be a little stronger, maybe my comrades wouldn't have died in the hands of small monsters. But when you become really strong, your opponents will change from small monsters to big monsters. Then, you'll have a town, a city, or even the entire human race standing behind you. Every step you take will cost thousands of lives." The future Supreme Magister Your Honor paused and said, "I think it's not bad to be a little The Brave."
