Chapter 43 Patrol (1)
The training of recruits in each corps is different. Infantry runs wood to train endurance and those with greater strength change stones. The leftover dragon cavalry recruits feed synthetic beasts and bristle them to bathe them. The mage never participates in group training, and the logistics needs to carry the entire army's supply, which is as exhausting as a dog. In contrast, the training of scouts is more interesting, at least in Link's opinion.
After lunch break, the scouts who returned to the team were told about the afternoon training and entered a special tunnel with various traps. It was not cracking and dismantling, but competing for intuition and luck. If you can pass without injury, you can end the training in the recruits in advance.
Although the Ranger's level is only 4, Link really doesn't want to participate in the recruit training. Such training has not improved at all for him, but he does not have the confidence to completely avoid all the traps.
Link swings left and right between the two options of whether to use the God Knowledge.
If you use it, you may be discovered by others, especially those from the Morning Sect in the fortress.
No, it’s obvious that you are overestimating yourself if you want to pass without any harm.
What to do?
"What do you think?" Although the invitation was rejected, Linde was still enthusiastic and always liked to come to Link's side for no reason.
"How can I see it? Just train normally."
"No, I mean... do you think it's true that you can finish the training early?" Lin De rubbed his hands with a look of eagerness to try.
"Maybe, but I don't think the superiors will save the newly-joined newcomers from training. Those so-called simple traps must have hidden secrets."
"I think so, but I have confidence." Linde's optimism was seriously inconsistent with his profession. Davis called his name, and Linde, who was full of confidence, walked towards a specially separated test site - a simple tunnel located underground.
As soon as his figure disappeared into the dark tunnel, a crackling sound and a strange muffled sound came from inside. After a while, Lind appeared at the exit of the pit. Davis, who was in charge of the record, applauded and praised, "I did a good job, you were the first to pass, I'm optimistic about you, newcomer."
The few people failed after that and were carried out by veterans who were ambushed in the tunnel in advance.
"Link." Alwin called his name.
Is it finally my turn?
Link took a deep breath and decided to go in and check the situation before making a decision.
If you can, just pass, but if you can’t, just sleep for three consecutive days. When you wait for the night, you can get up and have a meal and take a shower.
He walked into the tunnel carefully, and it was not completely dark inside. There were three torches used as lighting in the tunnel less than fifty meters, and there were no traces on the wall on the ground. Expanding his perception, he could sense three subtle breathing sounds, located in the center and exit of the tunnel. If it were just humans, Link was not worried, because he was afraid that he would accidentally step on the trap.
After walking two steps, he felt his feet get hot. Link stopped immediately, and then the strange burning sensation disappeared instantly.
What's going on?
He raised one foot, and before he could land, the heat appeared again. It was the boots! The "lucky rabbit feet" worn on his feet became hot.
Is it a warning? There is a trap right ahead!
Link tried to move his feet horizontally with a try-and-touch mentality. He really lost his burning sensation. He stepped on the ground gently, and there was no abnormality. He moved his other foot. After walking for less than two meters, his boots heated up again. Link used the same method to avoid the trap buried in the road. As soon as his feet stood firm, the person lying in the middle jumped out of the hidden mechanism. Link, who had been waiting for a sneak attack, squatted down suddenly, held the man forward with both hands and flew forward, destroying the two traps along the way, and hitting the wall before stopping.
Do I have such great strength? Link has a black thread.
Avoiding the trap along the way, he finally came to the exit where two people were ambushed from left to right.
Strangely, they didn't move at all. Link waited for a while but didn't wait for the other party to take action. He could only speed up and run out of the tunnel. Neither of the two moved from beginning to end, and he didn't know what was going on?
"Although you passed, you have used too much time." Davis liked Lind more than Link who made the leader look at him differently.
"I knew you would do it." Lind, who was nicknamed "dog skin plaster" by Link, quickly walked up to congratulate him.
There were only two new recruits left, and Link was very depressed about this result. If he had to be in a group of two, he would never separate him and Lin De. Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected. The regiment commander, who appeared, really divided them into a team and carried out a reconnaissance mission.
"Captain, they just joined and carried out the mission. Will it be too fast?" Alwin questioned.
"The orcs are ready to move, and they need to adapt as soon as possible. I didn't arrange to go to the most dangerous southern line directly, which is already kind." Claudia took out a gold coin, "The direction is determined by throwing the coin. The difficulty of the east and west lines is similar. The east and west are the opposite side, which side do you want?"
Lind looked at Link, and he shook his head, "I have always been unlucky."
"Then I guess it's positive!"
The female leader threw the gold coins, held them down with a "pop", and then released them and faced them upwards.
"Haha! Eastern Front!" Lin De clenched his fists.
What's so happy about this? Didn't you say that the difficulty is almost the same? Link squinted his eyes, and Linde just came over.
"You don't know that Sword Blade Mountain on the East Front is next to Hornheim, which is much better than the bird on the West Front who may encounter the big rift of the demon if it doesn't shit."
Well... this is, Link, who had encountered the Demon Lord once, nodded.
"Go to the logistics department to receive supplies and set off overnight. The team leader will explain to you the specific details." The team leader, who only showed his face for a while, left after saying that. Compared with yesterday's special attention, she had no interest in Link today, and did not even take a look at her.
Elwin brought the four people who had skipped the training of the recruits to the logistics department under the barracks, and distributed each of them a map of the surrounding areas of Longyan Fort, enough for a week of dry food and water, and a thin blanket that had just been wrapped around him.
"After walking along the ridge, the final destination is close to the edge of the large rift and the landmark of Hornheim. Along the way, you need to carefully observe whether there are orcs who are in the orcs. Their smell is very heavy and their steps are heavy, and they will leave obvious traces even if they are separated by one day."
Elwin did not have a private conversation with Link, and asked the two teams to set off after dinner. Now he went back to his dormitory to rest and replenish his physical fitness.
"I have to go and replenish some equipment just in case. See you at the old place at dinner time." Linde ran away without caring about Link's reaction.
Is the decay possessed? This kind of thing is encountered one after another.
If the game panel has the lucky value, Link must be E. He went back to the compartment and called Shangfeng Falcon and went straight to Dante's furnace.
"Can you use Rhode's magic props?" After hearing Link's description, the old dwarf frowned tightly.
The Treasure of Destiny is a special prop and can only be used by yourself.
"Did you have any strange experiences after you get them?"
"I absorbed some demons of fate from above." After thinking for a while, Link told the truth to Dante.
Dante raised his eyebrows, "Where are those demons? They used them to make strange things?"
"No, I absorbed it...how do you explain it? I was absorbed by my body anyway."
Dante nodded: "That's right, you absorbed Rhode's destiny spirit, so this pair of boots made by him will make you think of 'master'. This is not an isolated case, it has appeared before."
So that's what it is, I'm worried for nothing. Link breathed a sigh of relief. He could realize that the trap was good, but it seemed a bit useless compared to Malik's sacred property. No wonder Rhodes merged the sacred objects and the treasure of fate.
Considering the capacity of the secondary space bag, Link left behind the ten books contained there.
Hearing that he was going to patrol the Eastern Front, Dante showed a thoughtful expression, "The border has been not peaceful recently, maybe..."
"Maybe what?"
"It's been several years since the last battle. Maybe the orcs want to start a war again, and it hasn't rained for a long time in the Kaogo wasteland."
No, fighting is much more dangerous than taking risks in a team. Link prays not to fight before he completes the main mission here.
Before leaving, he spent money to buy two bundles of arrows to prevent him from being unprepared. As soon as Link left the furnace, he saw Lin De lying on the display cabinet. He looked at the pair of daggers displayed inside with a fascination, and he was almost drooling.
It was so embarrassing that he pretended not to know him and walked away directly, but Lin De ran over with sharp eyes.
"My han's pair of daggers has been around for a long time. The works of Grand Master Dante are limited editions, and there are only three pairs in total. Unfortunately, the price is too expensive."
"Then?" Link felt that this guy took the initiative to get close to him. Could it be that he wanted to use his relationship with him to lower the price?
"Hehe~" Lin De rubbed his hands, "I don't have the money to buy that good product. How many levels have you forged? Can you make magic props? I'll give out materials to help you make a pair of good weapons."
"Just ascended to craftsman." Link replied expressionlessly.
"No..." Linde's shoulders collapsed instantly, "That's the master of forging. Can he teach you if he is not of high level?"
"Have you ever heard of the poor forging for three generations? I didn't have enough money to do the mission to buy materials. Because I was friends with the Dragon Knight, I only asked the dwarf to guide him by walking the back door. It was too early to learn forging from him."
Because they didn't have to eat, the two of them set off early and walked along a trail behind the fortress. Lin De was depressed along the way, as if he had lost his soul. Lin De finally enjoyed a rare purity. Until dark, he didn't find anything unusual. He asked Lin De if he would rest in the evening or continue on his way?
"Let's rest for a while, don't you feel tired?"
"It's okay, it's okay to go to the night." Link felt a little superior. His physical fitness was close to that of a warrior and higher than an assassin, so he naturally didn't feel tired.
Considering that raising fires to keep warm will attract wild beasts or even orcs, the two of them found a relatively large stalagmites nearby to shelter from the wind. It has to be said that this sword blade mountain is similar to Olasio, and it is extremely cold at night.
Link wrapped in a thin blanket and thought about how to prevent Linde from talking about games and other words in front of Feng Falcon.
By the way, Ranger seems to have a skill that can understand the language of animals like the son of nature. How many levels did he learn it?
Linde, who was trembling with coldness, suddenly shook his ears and turned to look at the bare ridge in front of him.
