Half-elf Notebook

"What happened?" Mitaokel ​​was shocked by Ina's skills.

I didn’t expect that I didn’t know that the heroine was next to me, even though I was in the same class as her.

But when he saw the white-haired girl's expression, he immediately put away his strange thoughts and asked seriously.

Ina shook her head, indicating that she had no idea either.

It wasn't that she was lying or hiding anything on purpose, and she didn't know where this strange feeling came from.

Just now, the magic seemed to be warning her.

It was the first time that Ina had this feeling, a feeling of being on edge, something she had never seen or experienced before.

This was probably due to the benefits of his promotion...but no matter what, this feeling was obviously not a good one.

In a forest where monsters might be present, this usually means

——It’s not advisable to stay here for long.

At this moment, within Ina's sight, a hundred meters away, a gray figure was moving among the bushes, trees, and branches.

"Mitaokel, load the gun with bullets so it can shoot at any time." Ina frowned.

"We may be in trouble. Listen to my instructions and shoot when the time is right. Then throw away the extra weight of rabbit meat and immediately run to the dense bushes with Miss Xilia."

She knew that when she didn't know how to scare off a predator, or how to deal with it.

Their only advantage and what they can do is to strike first and take the enemy by surprise.

As long as Mitaokol and Xilia can escape, she can escape as the last one, and the chance of victory will be even greater.

"What's going on, Ina?" Seeing Ina suddenly start to look around alertly and chant spells in a low voice, Mitaokor was also a little nervous.

But his hands were not idle either. He took out the packed gunpowder from his rainproof cloth waist bag, bit it open, poured it into the barrel, took out the iron rod under the barrel, compacted it, and pushed the bullet in.

Complete this series of steps.

He then bit open the paper bag containing the ignition powder and held it in his right hand.

Prevent the ignition charge in the medicine pool from pouring out due to accidental violent shaking.

This resulted in the inability to ignite and fire because Mitaucol did not refill the ignition charge immediately.

"Magic Eye."

The chanting ended, and a leisurely sky-blue glow appeared in Ina's pupils. She was alert and glanced around roughly.

At the same time, she told the puzzled Mitaokol the possible answer she had come up with.

"It's a monster."

"Where?!" Mitaokal was frightened and looked around frantically.

He is not a hunter, but a city dweller, and he has never seen a living monster in his life.

His fingers turned white from working on the handguard and the barrel.

Xilia, with a pale face, took a few steps closer to the two of them.

"No, we haven't encountered them yet. I think we may have entered their activity area."

Ina only gave a warning and did not directly point out her discovery.

Because it was useless to point...the two of them couldn't tell the exact location.

Besides, even if they knew the location, they couldn't help him.

A first-level monster, just go up and skin it

It was a second-level monster, and she could still go up and skin it if she protected the other two. But at this level, Mitaokor's matchlock gun might not be effective.

"But this is at least three miles away from the border."

Mitaukol couldn't believe it.

He was certain about the distance, so he held the map and confirmed the approximate location of the team from time to time.

For observation purposes, he also deliberately chose a hunting route with undulating mountains so that he could estimate the distance through the conspicuous mountain markings on the map.

Then you probably only bought this map... Ina thought to herself.

The guild will occasionally re-edit and mark the map according to the density of Warcraft.

This is especially common during hunting season.

Maybe two weeks ago, this place was the "border", but today it has become the outer area.

But this does not mean that the monsters in the original area have left their territory.

"No one stipulates that hunters and monsters can't 'go south', right?" Ina joked with a wry smile.

Then she turned her gaze back to a birch tree, her eyes serious.

Behind the grayish-white tree trunk was a pale blue phosphorescent light that was like a half-human-high mist.

Without hesitation, the thought flashed across her mind, and the light of the magic circle lit up on the silver bracelet on Ina's right wrist.

"Gray Shield"

A gray, translucent giant shield that was two meters high, one and a half meters wide, and more than one foot thick covered the three people behind them.

Almost at the same time, a black arrow flew out of his hand, bypassed the giant shield, and shot towards the birch tree.

In less than a breathing cycle, a mournful cry was heard and the black arrow hit the target.

"?"

It was unexpectedly simple, beyond Ina's expectations. She actually stopped the subsequent magic at the first moment and just stood there in a daze.

There were no counterattacks, no missed shots, and no surprises.

It doesn't feel like dealing with a monster, but more like simply hunting an animal, a herbivore.

But after all, she had a lot of experience in sparring, and in an instant, Ina regained her vigilant look.

Unlike her, Mitaokel ​​and Xilia stared at everything that was happening before their eyes in amazement.

They had never seen such a big scene.

It suddenly appeared in front of them, transparent, yet felt unusually heavy, like a shield that only the giants recorded in ancient books could use, giving the two a strong shock.

"Mitokel, Miss Xilia, I need to confirm something. Please follow me closely."

Ina warned the two people who were in a daze.

It's not safe here... She decided that once the "monster" was confirmed to be dead or escaped, she would suggest to Mitaokol that the three of them return immediately.

Ever since the word "World of Warcraft" was mentioned, she has been feeling an inexplicable sense of impatience.

“Perhaps this is the psychological stress response that Mr. Meix mentioned when he was explaining the works in the literature class.”

Ina sighed softly, then changed her mind and shrunk the shield constructed with magic power to the size of an ordinary knight's shield.

The shield is too large to move through the woods.

"Huh? Hmm."

Mitaokel, who came back to his senses due to Ina's reminder, looked over in a trance.

There was still a gleam of surprise in his eyes.

Then the boy, who seemed to have just woken up from a dream, trembled and his expression was no longer confused after quickly understanding his current situation and Ina's words.

He replaced the ignition charge on the handguard with his right hand, pulled the corner of Cirilla's clothes, and nodded to Ina.

The three of them walked slowly towards the birch tree in a straight column, with the white-haired girl holding a shield in the front and Mitaokol and Cirilla behind.

Ina was not worried that the monsters would lurk and attack her.

Magical beasts below level five simply have no ability to penetrate the "gray-white shield".

And through her perception and application just now, she found that this magic operation was unexpectedly simple and convenient.

It can instantly appear anywhere within Ina's perception range.

Shrinking or enlarging is just a matter of thought for her, and doesn't even require magic power.

This made her feel confident.

What Yi-na was really worried about was something else.

From just now on, her "magic eye" could not observe the monster.

It seemed to have simply disappeared, or died.
